“…The indicators extracted from the literature were used as a basis for the construction of an index system to define an evaluative model for neighborhood pandemic resilience. Chen & Quan (2021) indicated that the quantitative resilience assessment principally consists of "evaluation based on the system function curve" and "evaluation based on the index system". Accordingly, the NPR evaluation model introduced in this study is based on the index system that can evaluate the resilience level neighborhoods to the pandemic.…”

“…Accordingly, the NPR evaluation model introduced in this study is based on the index system that can evaluate the resilience level neighborhoods to the pandemic. However, it should be noted that "the index system's formulation and factor weight assignment are subjective" ( Chen & Quan, 2021 : 831).…”

“…A better understanding of factors which can contribute to pandemic resilience can lead to better-informed and more effective interventions that can improve the planning, absorption, recovery, and adaptation capacities of cities ( Sharifi & Khavarian-Garmsir, 2020 ). Chen and Quan (2021) utilized economic, ecological, infrastructural, and social indicators to assess the overall level of resilience in the Yangtze River Delta under the COVID-19 pandemic. They have acknowledged the availability of frameworks and indicators for assessing resilience against various hazards such as natural disasters, accidents, economic shocks, and social security, with natural disasters receiving the most attention ( Chen & Quan, 2021 :831).…”

“…Common to most definitions is the emphasis on the abilities to plan and prepare for, absorb, and recover from shocks ( Walker & Salt, 2006 ). Chen & Quan (2021) have discussed resilience into three scales: region, city, and community (neighborhood). They have emphasized the importance of resilience-building activities at the neighborhood scale.…”

The spread of the COVID-19 virus, which has caused abundant mortalities in human settlements, has drawn the attention of urban planners and policy-makers to the necessity of improving resilience to future pandemics. In this study, a set of indicators related to pandemic resilience were identified and used to develop a composite multi-dimensional pandemic resilience index for Tehran's neighborhoods. The physical, infrastructural, socio-economic, and environmental dimensions of pandemic resilience were defined considering the conditions of 351 neighborhoods through the exploratory factor analysis method. Accordingly, the pandemic resilience (PR) score of the neighborhoods was calculated. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation analysis was used to validate the PR scores by examining the correlation between the neighborhood PR scores and the number of confirmed cases. For this purpose, we used a sample consisting of 43,000 confirmed COVID-19 patients in the first five months of its spread. The test shows a statistically significant negative correlation between neighborhoods’ resilience score and the cumulative number of confirmed patients in the neighborhoods (r= -.456, P<0.001). This study also tries to develop a new model to better understand health determinants of pandemic resilience. The proposed model can inform planners and policymakers to take appropriate measures to create more pandemic-resilient urban neighborhoods.

Iconic events have traditionally instigated progression in the fields of crisis and disaster science. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressing question is how this global health emergency impacted the research agendas of our field. We reviewed contributions in ten important crisis and disaster journals in the two and a half years following the COVID-19 outbreak from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2022. Specifically, we conducted a bibliometric review using thematic mapping analysis to distill the major themes covered by the emerging COVID-19 literature within crisis and disaster science (N = 239 articles). Our results indicate that several well-known topics are applied to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as risk, crisis communication, governance, resilience and vulnerability. The pandemic also gave rise to new topics, such as citizen behavior, state power, and the business and mental health impact of crisis measures. Several studies are already looking ahead by identifying lessons for preparedness and mitigation of future pandemics. By taking stock of the surge of COVID-19 studies while this academic literature is still taking shape, this review sets the stage for future contributions to the crisis and disaster literatures. It provides valuable lessons for what topics are studied and what themes need more attention. The COVID-19 pandemic is destined to become an iconic event for our literature that not only strengthens and deepens existing debates, but

This paper critically examines the concept of sustainable development, particularly in the context of urban challenges exacerbated by the COVID‐19 pandemic. Although the concept of sustainable development has been around for more than three decades, it faces ongoing global socio‐environmental crises that have been exacerbated by the rapid spread of COVID‐19 since 2019, which has highlighted the vulnerability of urban and interconnected cities. Our approach includes a comparative literature review to analyze the evolution and critique of sustainable development, focusing on its conceptual foundations, complementary strategies, and political‐economic implications. The paper addresses the urban implications of COVID‐19, emphasizing its direct impact on the Sustainable Development Goals and arguing for a comprehensive reassessment of sustainable urban development practices. We propose a transformative agenda that recognizes local specificities and draws on cities' experiences during the pandemic to build a more equitable and crisis‐resilient global society. This research highlights the urgency to rethink current sustainable development paradigms, especially in light of the human‐environment imbalance and lessons learned from the COVID‐19 crisis. It calls for a reformed global approach that incorporates local dimensions and draws on the experience of cities to address the inequalities and crisis‐prone structures in our societies, with the aim of a fundamental shift toward a more sustainable future in the post‐COVID‐19 era.
