This review was conducted to 1) understand how empirical studies measure resilience, 2) identify gaps in current practices, and 3) provide theory-informed recommendations to bridge gaps. Our review included 28 studies of which 25 measured community level resilience and three measured household-level resilience. The studies measured resilience against climate change, disease outbreaks, earthquakes, floods, food insecurity, and disasters. The 751 extracted measures from these studies focused on social (45 %), environmental (34 %), and economic (21 %) domains of resilience. Our review revealed that assessment tools often erroneously use measures of vulnerability (example: age distribution, frequency of shocks/stressor) to assess resilience and sub-domains are inconsistently used to characterize resilience across existing measures. Furthermore, capacity measures (i.e., adaptive, absorptive, and transformative) that reflect the dynamic nature of resilience are inconsistently used. We provide guidance on filling these gaps by 1) informing the development of measures, 2) providing an adapted measurement framework for urban household-level resilience against disasters and environmental shocks and stressors for use in LMICs, and 3) making recommendations for how to contextualize the framework.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 105267"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143098375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has prompted the UK government to prioritise resilience planning in flood prone areas. This study focuses on community resilience in Matlock, Derbyshire, which has experienced intensified flooding since 2018. Using qualitative interviews and a focus group, the research examines evidence of community resilience and the barriers to its development by focusing on community activities during flooding incidents, if and how these were collective efforts and relationships, and what are the perceived challenges to community resilience building. Our findings revealed that residents of Matlock used local action groups and social media, community led warning systems and promotion and engagement in civic participation to foster and enhance community resilience. While bonding and bridging capital were critical to support community resilience building, there were significant barriers to linking social capital, such as the disconnect between community members and formal institutions (i.e. government organisations) that left participants disheartened and frustrated. In conclusion, the study argues that further fostering of linking social capital through policy recommendations and developments such as regular community, small grants for community initiatives and integrating local knowledge into policy frameworks will bridge the gap between communities and these external stakeholders. In doing so, activities that aim to enhance Matlock's flood resilience may inform broader strategies for place-based and devolved policies addressing environmental challenges in a wider context.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 105266"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143098379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then a complete two-layer linear model was applied to examine the mechanisms driving different coping strategies during the three disparate stages. The results show that (1) farm households exhibited more diverse post-disaster adaptation strategies, moderate preparing strategies before disasters, and more conservative during-disaster coping approaches. (2) Household-layer factors such as natural, physical, and financial capital significantly influenced pre-disaster strategies, whereas physical capital, social capital, and disaster-related factors significantly impacted the during-disaster strategies. Human, financial, and social capital directly influenced resistance to risks and thus post-disaster decisions.

We theoretically sampled urban and rural Aboriginal Elders, community members and organisations, and explored their experiences and perspectives about COVID-19. Our thematic analysis of the yarning circles revealed that an interaction of individual and contextual factors and processes significantly influenced perception of safety, coping strategies, and decision-making across individual, community, and organisational levels. Although many participants experienced resilience and adaptability resulting from Indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing and sharing ways for circumventing negative and inequitable experiences, these individual and system level interactions also led to many participants experiencing fear in response to the pandemic exacerbating disruptions to services and basic needs.

Current spread models for fire following earthquake generally simulate fires by treating an individual building as a single analytical element and disregarding the influence of building height and topography. In real-world cases, the building heights in the neighborhood vary, which significantly complicating the FFE spreading. The height disparities between structures may directly impact the temperature increase effects of a burning building on its surroundings. Thus, this study proposes a simulation method for fire spread following earthquake that considers building height. The analytical approach treats each building story as an analysis element and incorporates the absolute height of each floor (defined as the summation of building height and site elevation) into the spread model, thereby accounting for the influence of height disparities on fire propagation. To validate the effectiveness of this method, comparative validation studies are conducted using the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake and the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. The proposed model achieves an accuracy of 99.3 % in the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake case and 90.9 % in the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake case. Results also indicate that incorporating building height leads to accelerated fire spread and expanded spread range, more accurately capturing the complex dynamics of fire spread following earthquake in building clusters, particularly in scenarios with substantial variations in building heights, thus providing a scientific foundation for urban disaster prevention, mitigation, and fire control strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 105261"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143098380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores the actions, measures, or strategies the residents of Matola have developed to cope with urban flooding and build community resilience. The study is based on 18 semi-structured interviews, three focus group discussions with 24 residents, two semi-structured interviews with municipal officials from the urban planning sector in Matola, who were present during the 2000 floods, and field observations. The findings reveal that community mitigation actions during the 2000 flood in Matola ranged from reinforcing the material structure of houses and installing water barriers with walls of sandbags, to rescuing and accommodating family and community members in collaboration with municipal rescue teams. Community adaptation measures after the 2000 floods were improving and reconstructing houses destroyed by the floods, raising yard levels with fill, which changed the environment, building new homes in relatively safe self-obtained sites, and adhering to the resettlement promoted by the municipality. The study reveals that during the 2000 floods and the post-flood recovery process, social capital, characterized by pre-existing strong social cohesion and mutual trust among community members, was vital in bringing people together to support and rescue community members besieged by the flood. The municipality's official network of collaboration with communities, represented by their elected leaders, was a relevant factor for community flood resilience because it favoured establishing ongoing connections between the parties identifying the main waterways for the creation of drainage channels and organizing the gradual resettlement of residents who had lost their homes in the flood. However, the findings reveal that with a rapidly increasing population and an accelerated horizontal land occupation for different uses, there seems to be a mismatch between the urban development plans and the municipal efforts to build flood resilience, and what is happening in practice with some constructions violating official regulations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 105262"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143149705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
