Resilience of Social-Infrastructural Systems: Functional Interdependencies Analysis

Critical infrastructures serve human activities and play an essential role in societies. Infrastructural systems are not isolated but interdependent with regard to social systems, including those of public health economic sustainable development. In recent years, both infrastructural have frequently been dysfunction due increasing natural or human-made disasters the internal external dependencies between system components. The interconnectedness social-infrastructural (socio-economic technical-infrastructural systems), implies that damage one single can extend beyond its scope. For reason, cascading occur increase vulnerability. This article aims study functional interdependencies propose a methodology analyse improve resilience these systems. Combining Actor Network Theory Functional Models approach, Interdependence Resilience (SIIR) framework was proposed. To assess applicability applied interdependence Nantes Metropolis. studied composed local Highway Infrastructure (an system) Emergency Medical Service (a system). results (1) show feasibility SIIR for investigating two urban (2) provide guideline decision-makers
