“…A city is a large-scale interdependent networks system composed of four main components (buildings, infrastructure, social community, and open space), which coexist and interact creating liveable and rich urban functions [1,2]. The societal well-being is dependent on the services provided by the built environment, the infrastructure and open space which, however, cannot be absolutely guaranteed due to the different hazards that threaten the quality of life of the citizens and the functionality of urban systems.…”

“…The concept of urban resilience should combine both approaches. Therefore, urban resilience is a capacity of a complex urban system, composed of interacting physical and social components, to withstand an external stress and bounce back to a state of equilibrium or bounce forward to improved new states of equilibrium [2,12,13].…”

“…[19,20,24]. Some reviews are interested in the assessment approach of urban resilience which can be qualitative or quantitative [2,23], among them some surveys deal with specific disaster resilience measures (e.g., composite indicator building) [24]. Moreover, more targeted studies have been focused on special issues.…”

For a city to perform successfully, and its citizens to feel safe and comfortable, the health of basic urban components and the overall resilience of the urban system is crucial. As the importance of the resilient urban system has been recognized in the scientific literature, many studies have been done on this topic. Therefore, to find out the gaps in the existing literature and the opportunities for further research, a new systematic literature review has been performed in three stages. Different bibliographic techniques (co-occurrence and co-citation analysis) have been applied and, in the final stage of the analysis, an in-depth study of the content of the selected papers addressing open space in relation to urban seismic resilience has been carried out. The obtained results and trends have shown a lack of research on the potential of open space for enhancing urban seismic resilience, as well as a challenge for its quantitative assessment. The ability of the affected resilient system is to achieve at least a pre-disaster performance level in an acceptable time, which can be gained, among others, by using the restorative potential of open space. Based on the synthesis of these findings the authors' draft model of an urban system integrating the potential of open space is presented in terms of a complex network theory.

“…Some studies have proven that the combination method, which combines results of various evaluation methods by centralized sorting method, can improve the comprehensiveness and reliability of the conclusions (Guo 1995, Chen and Li 2004, Peng et al 2016a). However, there is still a lack of research on disaster resilience assessment using the combination method (Rus et al 2018). In addition, the current research on disaster resilience evaluation considers the selection of indicators, but ignores the influence that the change of weight may have on the evaluation results (Rus et al 2018).…”

Disaster resilience assessments are critical to both urban and rural development, especially in disaster-prone regions. The Three Gorges Reservoir Area is a typical disaster-prone area, but there is a lack of research on disaster resilience in this area. We proposed a set of indicators and methodologies as a development of a comprehensive disaster resilience evaluation index system that encompasses societal, economic, natural environment, and infrastructure perspectives. Then an integrated approach, which combines 3 weight value determination methods, 6 evaluation methods, and 3 sorting methods, was developed and applied to disaster resilience assessments of 17 counties in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, from which a final ranking was obtained. The conclusions we got from the research are: (1) the overall disaster resilience in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area is relatively low; (2) the disaster resilience in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area has significant regional differences, as well as social, economic, infrastructural, and environmental resilience; and (3) the societal, economic, and natural environment resilience all have a certain correlation with disaster resilience. Finally, suggestions were given to improve the disaster resilience in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area. This study can provide a framework and method for disaster resilience assessment.Ecology and Society 25(2): 5 https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol25/iss2/art5/
