摘要

像拉各斯这样的城市沿海特大城市面临着未来气候变化可能加剧的洪水挑战。通过城市政治生态学的视角,本研究涉及产生不同洪水影响和适应策略的政治和权力动态。对大陆和岛屿地区21名拉各斯居民的电话采访数据揭示了人们在拉各斯更广泛的社会政治背景下对其洪水脆弱性的理解。特别是,国家在提供服务、便利设施和整体防洪方面的失败,影响了拉各斯的洪水风险。此外,收入和获得物质资源的机会为人们应对洪水提供了经验和能力。此外,公民采用本地化策略,特别是通过社区发展协会,为洪水事件做好准备和应对。这些本地化战略对变革韧性具有影响。然而,这些形式的内生韧性不能取代对拉各斯等城市更广泛的城市治理挑战的关注。

Vulnerable spaces, unequal responses: lessons for transformative climate resilience in Lagos
Urban coastal megacities like Lagos face flooding challenges that may be exacerbated by climate change in the future. Through an urban political ecology lens, this study engages with the dynamics of politics and power that produce differentiated flood impacts and adaptation strategies. Data from telephone interviews of 21 Lagos residents across the mainland and island areas reveal people's understanding of their flood vulnerabilities within the wider socio-political context of Lagos. In particular, state failure in the provisioning of services, amenities, and overall flood protection, shapes flood risk in Lagos. In addition, income and access to material resources inform people's experiences and ability to cope with flooding. Furthermore, citizens apply localized strategies to prepare for and cope with flooding events, particularly through Community Development Associations (CDAs). These localized strategies have implications for transformative resilience. However, these forms of endogenous resilience cannot replace attention to wider urban governance challenges in cities like Lagos.
