Evaluation of urban resilience level and analysis of obstacle factors: A case study of Hunan Province, China

Resilient city is an ideal goal and model of urban development proposed in response to today’s complex dynamic environmental changes. In this study, a resilient evaluation framework “social resilience-economic resilience-urban infrastructure service-urban governance” was built upon the multi-dimensionality system; entropy weight method used measure level resilience Hunan Province while obstacle degree identify any factor restricting resilience. The results show that has grown slowly over past 10 years, there obvious regional difference it. There are more highly cities, but medium/low-resilience cities still dominate province, forming spatial process evolution from “medium/high-level dispersion” aggregation” Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Urban Agglomeration. predominantly hindered by social economic systems; at index layer, most factors moving system social-economic-urban service system.
