“…As complex systems, cities are exposed to long-term disturbances and shocks from the external environment, such as natural disasters (Zhou et el., 2022;Kondo and Lizarralde, 2021), economic crises (Ulfarsson et al, 2015;Tomao et al, 2021), climate change (Zimmerman and Faris, 2011) and the spread of infectious diseases (Cheng et al, 2022;Jin et al, 2023). City managers have incorporated the engineering concept of "resilience" into urban planning and construction to mitigate the negative effects of these shocks and assist cities in developing stably and sustainably (Murgatroyd and Hall, 2020;Wang L, 2022), as well as to improve the quality of the living environment and the standard of living for residents (Snep et al, 2020;Talubo et al, 2022).…”

Introduction: Urban resilience construction can aid in the management of urban crises and enhance the quality of the human living environment. Compared to metropolises in developed regions, cities in underdeveloped regions with unsatisfactory natural environments, insufficient economic and social development, and inadequate infrastructure construction are highly vulnerable to challenges posed by natural disasters, epidemics, and climate change. Comprehensive quantitative evaluations are needed to identify avenues for enhancing urban resilience.Methods: This study employs the TOPSIS entropy weight method and coupled coordination model to evaluate the economic, social, environmental, and infrastructure resilience of six cities and states along the Sichuan-Tibet Railway in China from 2015 to 2020. Furthermore, correlation and gray correlation analysis are used to identify the primary factors influencing the urban resilience of underdeveloped regions.Results: Firstly, during 2015-2020, the overall urban resilience of each city and state maintained an increasing trend, with different trends in the evolution of the four resilience indices and differences among cities, and the highest overall resilience is in Lhasa. Secondly, the coupling coordination between the overall resilience and each resilience aspect maintained an increasing trend and differed significantly from each other. Finally, the social and economic resilience of each city and state maintained an increasing trend and differed significantly from each other.Discussion: Economic, social, environmental, and infrastructure factors each have their own characteristics in influencing urban resilience. Based on the results, we present a three-dimensional evaluation model for analyzing the evolutionary trajectories and resilience patterns of cities. This work intends to present new concepts for assessing and optimizing urban resilience in underdeveloped regions using quantitative methodologies, as well as providing references for urban resilience construction in these places.

“…Under Article 39 of Japan's 1950 Building Standards Law, collective relocation promotion zones are set within the hazardous zones. 28,29 Designated by the projects, collective relocation promotion zones are defined as "areas deemed unsuitable for residents to live within hazardous zones, and appropriate to be the zone to protect the lives, bodies, and property of individuals from disasters". 27,30 In addition to reducing exposure to hazards, stated intentions for collective relocation includes sustaining social ties and community.…”

“…Next, the government exerts their authority to restrict private land use rights in the interest of public welfare. 28 Japanese centralized urban planning led by the national government asserts eminent domain to control land use. Land in buyout areas in Japan is transformed uses that serve the public good, such as commercial, industrial, or recreational uses.…”

“…31 There is a strong recognition of the need to make us of vacated land even in post-disaster contexts and depopulated regions with the majority of the population concentrated in small areas (Figure 1, steps ④c, ⑤). 28,42,53 With the variety of planned uses for land acquired by governments, former residential areas are converted to industrial or commercial uses, agriculture, coastal forests for tsunami reduction, or memorial parks. Local governments, for instance, rent land acquired in buyouts to members of the private sector for commercial or industrial use.…”

Government acquisition of residential land has played a growing role in the reconstruction of housing in safer places and reduction of water‐related risks. This paper explores how the rationales and processes of residential buyouts may result in different consequences for coastal recovery, mitigation, and residents' wellbeing referring to government documents and existing literature, we explored the characteristics of buyout programs in Japan and the U.S., identified consequences of mitigation and recovery, and deduced the effects of community buyouts. Our study revealed buyout programs could reduce risk exposure, enhance sustainable and resilient coastal rewilding, housing recovery, and building of community resilience. However, they could also contribute to limiting homeowners' opportunities to make their own choices to stay or relocate, the distribution of residents into unfamiliar communities, creation of checkerboard patterns of acquired properties, and un‐utilized vast vacant lands. These results suggest that planners and disaster managers need careful consideration to redesign and manage property acquisition programs that not only increase regional resilience, but also are equitable for affected residents and utilization of acquired lands.

“…Efforts to manifest adaptive capacity may "backfire", potentially increasing vulnerability [73]. This is known as maladaptation [74,75]. Maladaptive outcomes bear the double burden of generally worsening conditions (reducing resilience or increasing vulnerability) at the implied mutual exclusion of building adaptive capacity due to resource limits [76].…”

Climate Change, Adaptation Planning and Institutional Integration: A Literature Review and Framework

The scale and scope of climate change has triggered widespread acknowledgement of the need to adapt to it. Out of recent work attempting to understand, define, and contribute to the family of concepts related to adaptation efforts, considerable contributions and research have emerged. Yet, the field of climate adaptation constantly grapples with complex ideas whose relational interplay is not always clear. Similarly, understanding how applied climate change adaptation efforts unfold through planning processes that are embedded in broader institutional settings can be difficult to apprehend. We present a review of important theory, themes, and terms evident in the literature of spatial planning and climate change adaptation to integrate them and synthesize a conceptual framework illustrating their dynamic interplay. This leads to consideration of how institutions, urban governance, and the practice of planning are involved, and evolving, in shaping climate adaptation efforts. While examining the practice of adaptation planning is useful in framing how core climate change concepts are related, the role of institutional processes in shaping and defining these concepts—and adaptation planning itself—remains complex. Our framework presents a useful tool for approaching and improving an understanding of the interactive relationships of central climate change adaptation concepts, with implications for future work focused on change within the domains of planning and institutions addressing challenges in the climate change era.
