Many studies have looked at resilience during natural disasters and national emergencies in a number of countries but hardly any have concentrated on developing countries and the implications of these nations’ sub-standard healthcare infrastructure, culture practices and relaxed control systems. This paper examines resilience during Liberia’s recent EBOLA epidemic and identifies lessons to be l...

As an emerging economic form, the digital economy is a crucial force in promoting high-quality development, resolving regional development incoherence, and improving level of urban resilience. In this paper, resilience indicator system composed four dimensions: social resilience, infrastructure ecological Meanwhile, five Internet penetration rate, number Internet-related employees, output, mobi...

Urban infrastructure will require transformative changes to adapt changing disturbance patterns. We ask what new opportunities hybrid infrastructure—built environments coupled with landscape-scale biophysical structures and processes—offer for building different layers of resilience critical dealing increased variation in the frequency, magnitude phases climate-related disturbances. With its mo...

Modern society is increasingly dependent on the stability of a complex system of interdependent infrastructure sectors. It is imperative to build resilience of large-scale infrastructures like metro systems for addressing the threat of natural disasters and man-made attacks in urban areas. Analysis is needed to ensure that these systems are capable of withstanding and containing unexpected pert...

Despite rising interest on the concept of societal resilience and its measurement, little has been done to provide operational indicators. Importantly, an evidence-based approach to assess the suitability of indicators remains unexplored. Furthermore few approaches that exist do not investigate indicators of psychological resilience, which is emerging as an important component of societal resil...

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...
