“…22 Emphasizing that people should work together to build capacity enhances a community's ability to mitigate and rebound from disasters. 23 The enthusiasm surrounding community disaster resilience is coupled with numerous "how to" questions, such as how to move beyond the traditional messages of "get a kit and make a plan" and involve the public in building resilience. 16 Audience segmentation has been suggested as an approach to better tailor campaigns to the strengths and weaknesses of the population.…”

“…Cutter et al [8] claimed that fostering resilience is a national imperative at the state and local level in order to reduce the disaster risk. While resilience is considered a desired system property in hazard mitigation and management [9], the concept of resilience is too vague to be useful in informing the disaster risk reduction agenda [10].…”

Measuring Resilience to Natural Hazards: Towards Sustainable Hazard Mitigation

Measuring resilience to natural hazards is a central issue in the hazard mitigation sciences. This paper applied a confirmatory factor methodology to operationalize the biophysical, built-environment, and socioeconomic resilience dimensions for local jurisdictions in large urban metropolitan areas in South Korea. Mapping the factor scores of the dimensions revealed great spatial variations. The factor covariances showed a trade-off relationship between natural infrastructure and human activities. A hierarchical cluster analysis was used to classify the localities into heterogeneous groups with respect to the identified resilience dimensions. Densely developed and affluent urban areas tend to lack biophysical resilience. Some local governments, sorted into the same groups, turn out to be located in different metropolitan areas. The spatial variation and inequality in the resilience dimensions suggest the necessity of integrated and flexible governance for sustainable hazard mitigation.

Abstract:The article deals with possibilities of better governance regarding natural and anthropogenic risks and building of resilience of medium towns and cities against disasters. Such systematic approach could be applied for example using new Czech certifi ed methodology "Tools Of Resilience", which has been developed recently within the short project number no. VF20152016047 under the grant of Czech Ministry of the Interior in period 2015-2016 and afterwards certifi ed in 2017 by Czech Ministry of the Environment. Basic starting points, used methods, steps of new methodology and its annexes, will be breafl y described in the topic.
