“…Infrastructure as a source of shelter where man spends over 75% of his time should be built to adapt to climate change. Green infrastructure within the context of climate change is well established [41], [42]; [43]; [44]; [45]. Some of the components of green infrastructure include: green roofs, tree cover, green walls, green forests, green water storm infrastructure, urban gardens, green belts, bio retention, permeable pavements and neighbourhood parks.…”

Some recent works on disaster-resilient infrastructure with focus on COVID 19 include [44]; [45]; [46]. In terms of climate change, infrastructure can be disaster-resilient when care is taken to ensure that the entire infrastructure development process is environmentally sustainable [47] Fig.…”

The vital role of infrastructure in the delivery of essential services and the severity of disasters globally calls for more research and discourse on disaster resilient infrastructure. Despite the increasing body of knowledge on disaster resilient infrastructure, an assessment of research on the subject is lacking. This study fills this gap by assessing the global research trend in disaster resilient infrastructure. The study adopted a bibliometric analysis with the use of the VOSviewer. The main search words used in the study were “Disaster”, “Resilient”, AND “Infrastructure. Initial extracted papers with these keywords were 1041. After refining based on language, document type, and key words, a total of 278 papers were found suitable for the analysis. The years 2020 to 2022 indicated the highest research outputs while countries with highest number of publication on the subject of disaster-resilient infrastructure were the United States, United Kingdom and Japan. Most of the highly cited works were review-based, case studies and a few experimental. The findings of this study serve as a source of baseline data on disaster resilient infrastructure which can provide new research directions and also guide the design and implementation of policies on disaster-resilient infrastructure.

“…We found our participants to be acutely aware of their dependence on this infrastructure in a way that mainlanders rarely have cause to consider. This was arguably exposed during the recent Coronavirus pandemic (Scholz et al, 2022). For example, on Island B, a resident commented that they had never lived anywhere so dependent on public services, for example, through the considerable public subsidy for the water supply.…”

Although there are many widely perceived attractions to living on a small island, island life is not without its challenges. The physical aspects of these are well rehearsed. The psychological ones, less so. Drawing on social psychological theories, we analyse the experience of living on small islands, with a focus on two small British islands. Data were collected through ethnographic fieldwork, involving observations and interviews with small island inhabitants. We found a range of factors impacting them psychologically, including several that suggest identity and social identity theories may provide a useful psychological lens for understanding these communities. There were also other psychological features identified that suggest a self-perception of vulnerability. These were reflected in concerns around the precarity of employment, but also evident in islanders’ discourses around health (both physical and mental). These findings echo previous authors’ assertions concerning the existence of an ‘island psychology’ evident in the experiences of island residents, but also contribute to discussions around its origins and mechanisms of influence - which we argue have been hitherto, relatively atheoretical. Importantly, a better understanding of island experience, and the relevant theoretical frameworks, can assist in supporting the wellbeing of islanders and the sustainability of their communities.

“…In the study of Cornelia Scholz, Stefan Schauer, Martin Latzenhofer the quantity of descriptions per critical infrastructure dependency is analyzed and visualized and used to discuss the perception of how critical those infrastructures are. The study revealed that new infrastructures have been identified as critical in recent literature and that the focus was shifted to specific infrastructures that were in more pressing need during the pandemic [11].

The article reveals the need to create the latest security and protection system of critical infrastructure in Ukraine and the first steps result on this difficult path. Incomplete identification problems of critical infrastructure subjects (hereinafter – CI) are summarized. Today, in international practice, CI is actively researched, as not only important system for the enterprise security, but as an integral state security system, therefore it is proposed to study the concept of «critical infrastructure» as a system of administrative and economic connections, that is normatively regulated at the state level, which includes objects (including tangible and intangible production enterprises), strategically important for both the development and security of the national economy and society as a whole. It is proposed to correlate the measures assessment to strengthen security with the generalized normalized assessment of the criticality level, that is used in Ukraine to identify the influence of risks of adverse external factors on CI subjects. On a sociological studies basis carried out in Rivne region territorial communities, the need for ranking communities in administrative management efficiency matters has been revealed, which will have a positive effect on both the social and economic development, as well as on strengthening their security. Based on sociological research results, SWOT-analysis of trends and factors of the territorial communities development, directions for the state policy improvement for supporting CI are substantiated, namely: comprehensive regulatory improvement and legal framework on the CI security, effective integrated system creation of state management of the such entities security; clarification of criteria for critical infrastructure identification; special reporting introduction on security indicators of the CI subjects economic potential; public and private partnership development, international cooperation in the field of safety CI ensuring, etc.
