“…Participatory planning resembles the approach toward sustainability because it seeks to integrate social, nonphysical or "soft" dimensions (Lee, 2014). Furthermore, participatory planning and the development capacity of local authorities must be improved to make resilience against the impacts of climate change a main component of local development plans (Khailani & Perera, 2013) …”

“…Climate has a significant impact on urban areas because they concentrate population, infrastructure, assets and economic activities (Kernaghan & da Silva, 2014;Khailani & Perera, 2013; United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), 2010). Therefore, cities have become critical focuses of governments that are facing climate change (Bulkeley, 2010;Jabareen, 2013;Lee, 2014;The Royal Society, 2014).…”

“…However, small localized stand-alone initiatives are not enough to respond to these challenges (Reid, H, 2014;Schipper et al, 2014), and stronger engagement with a wider group of stakeholders, particularly governments, provides more opportunities to move away from isolated pilot projects and to integrate community-based adaptation into policy and planning to an extent that NGOs cannot (Reid, Hannah & Huq, 2014). Moreover, participatory planning and the development capacity of local authorities must be improved to make resilience against disaster a main component of local development plans (Khailani & Perera, 2013). In short, top-down priorities must be aligned with local-level needs.…”

Abstract:IPCC AR5 notes that since the 1950s, changes in climate systems, ocean, sea levels, icebergs, carbon and other biochemistry have been unprecedented. If the emission rate of greenhouse gases remains constant or increases, then the effects of climate change will become severe. Accordingly, research on vulnerability, mitigation and adaptation of climate change is required. With respect to those considerations, development of the concept of resilience and the construction of resilient cities has become a critical and important task for sustainable urban and regional development. This study begins by providing a brief introduction of the significant impacts of climate change globally and, in particular, in Taiwan. The second section analyzes concepts related to resilient cities, including vulnerability, adaptation, resilience, governance and community empowerment. The third section proposes principles to govern the construction of resilient cities through community empowerment, based on a literature review and documentary analyses. The final section presents conclusions and suggestions.

“…The key requirement for contemporary urban planners is to understand both vulnerability and resilience [11][12][13]. However, many cities worldwide are expected to work toward a "resilient city", in an effort to decrease the adverse impacts of climate change [13,14].…”

“…However, many cities worldwide are expected to work toward a "resilient city", in an effort to decrease the adverse impacts of climate change [13,14]. The Fifth Assessment Report by the IPCC in 2014 defines resilience as "the capacity of social, economic, and environmental systems to cope with a hazardous event or trend or disturbance, responding or reorganizing in ways that maintain their essential function, identity, and structure, while also maintaining the capacity for adaptation, learning, and transformation" [4].…”

This study uses biophysical vulnerability and social vulnerability data from Taiwan's National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) to assess the vulnerable areas in Hualien County and Taitung County (Hualien-Taitung Area). The most vulnerable townships are Yanping and Chenggong townships in Taitung County, and the least vulnerable townships are Fuli, Jian, Yuli, Shoufeng and Fenglin townships in Hualien County. The severity of potential impacts to townships in Taitung County is greater than that to townships in Hualien County. In the context of climate change, the Hualien-Taitung Area must develop policies that prioritize policies and strategies for hotspot townships. Furthermore, the Hualien-Taitung Area should integrate long-term cross-boundary policies and strategies to lobby for increased funding from the central government. Moreover, cross-boundary resource integration and regional adaptation strategies should be merged to help the Hualien-Taitung Area move toward sustainability.

Smart city (SC) and resilient city (RC) have been studied and practiced over the years in terms of the increasing urban problems and disasters. However, there is a large overlap between their meanings and relationships. With an increasing concern for both SC and RC in urban development and hazard mitigation, a review was conducted to explore the differences and connections between SC and RC with scientometric analysis. There are far more literatures about SC than RC, and very few papers discuss SC and RC together. The research trend, category, and hotspots from research clusters are illustrated and compared. Major differences are discussed from their objectives, driving force, current research focus, and criticism. The literatures both related to SC and RC are used to explore their connections, which are very limited. The results revealed that the RC's impact on SC are positive from physical, social, and environmental aspects, while SC's impacts on RC could be both positive and negative from the above three aspects. It is indicated that SC and RC are both important for urban planning and can be complementary to each other through proper design and governance, which implies the need for building a resilient smart city (RSC).
