从各种研究角度,包括从灾害/灾害和全球变化社区的角度,对恢复力的含义和测量有相当大的研究兴趣。确定衡量灾害恢复能力的标准和指标是地方、州和联邦机构面临的挑战之一,尤其是在美国。本文提出了一个新的框架,即地方抗灾能力(DROP)模型,旨在改进地方或社区一级抗灾能力的比较评估。作为实现模型的第一步,还提供了用于实现模型的候选变量集。(C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
There is considerable research interest on the meaning and measurement of resilience from a variety of research perspectives including those from the hazards/disasters and global change communities. The identification of standards and metrics for measuring disaster resilience is one of the challenges faced by local, state, and federal agencies, especially in the United States. This paper provides a new framework, the disaster resilience of place (DROP) model, designed to improve comparative assessments of disaster resilience at the local or community level. A candidate set of variables for implementing the model are also presented as a first step towards its implementation. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
