To promote community resilience and equity, this Disaster Resilience Research Grant (DRRG) project examines a series of place-based, human-centered networks, leveraging micromobility (lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters), community social ties, and resilience hubs, to better meet those impacted by a disaster after the event. In particular, the project investigates the potential role of social networks and micromobility in enhancing the planning and operation of resilience hubs, an emerging infrastructural concept that has the potential to support more equitable disaster response and recovery efforts. The project investigates opportunities and challenges regarding enhancing resilience in two study locations: a metropolitan coastal city and an inland suburban community where the results can inform more equitable transportation operational strategies and preparedness measures for other highly vulnerable regions of the United States. The results of this research can extend the state of knowledge about how micromobility resilience hubs can support social network connectivity, increase community cohesion and capacity, and enhance community and national resilience. Communities and people are at the center of the research, learning from stakeholder expertise and experiences to adapt the resilience hub concept to meet the needs of future resilient cities.Research is needed to understand how micromobility infrastructure and community social networks can be effectively leveraged in disaster response. Using human-centered data and mixed-method analyses, this Disaster Resilience Research Grant project combines social network analysis, qualitative thematic analysis, discrete choice modeling, and agent-based simulations, to model a cohesive network for disaster-prone communities addressing the vulnerabilities of individuals and the community. The objectives of this project are to 1) understand the functions, usage, and applicability of micromobility in different disaster scenarios; 2) understand how micromobility systems and local social networks can be integrated to better support communities in both every day and disaster scenarios; and 3) validate the applicability of micromobility resilience hubs as connection points for micromobility and social networks in a range of communities and disaster types via the empirical analysis and synthesis of findings from focus groups, surveys, interviews, simulations, and on-the-ground field tests co-designed with community partners.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

为了促进社区的复原力和公平，这个灾难复原力研究资助（DRRG）项目研究了一系列以地方为基础，以人为本的网络，利用微移动性（自行车或踏板车等轻型车辆），社区社会关系和复原力中心，以更好地满足那些在事件发生后受到灾难影响的人。特别是，该项目调查了社交网络和微型流动性在加强抗灾中心的规划和运作方面的潜在作用，这是一个新出现的基础设施概念，有可能支持更公平的灾害应对和恢复努力。该项目调查了在两个研究地点加强复原力的机会和挑战：一个大都市沿海城市和一个内陆郊区社区，其结果可以为美国其他高度脆弱地区提供更公平的运输业务战略和准备措施。这项研究的结果可以扩展有关微移动弹性中心如何支持社交网络连接，提高社区凝聚力和能力，以及增强社区和国家弹性的知识。社区和居民是研究的中心，他们从利益相关者的专业知识和经验中学习，以适应弹性中心的概念，以满足未来弹性城市的需求。需要进行研究，以了解如何在灾害应对中有效利用微移动基础设施和社区社交网络。使用以人为本的数据和混合方法分析，这个灾难恢复力研究资助项目结合了社会网络分析，定性专题分析，离散选择建模和基于代理的模拟，为灾害易发社区建立一个有凝聚力的网络，解决个人和社区的脆弱性。该项目的目标是：1）了解微移动系统在不同灾害场景中的功能、用途和适用性; 2）了解如何将微移动系统和本地社交网络整合起来，以便在日常和灾害场景中更好地支持社区;和3）的方法验证微型流动复原力中心作为微型流动和社交网络在一系列社区的连接点的适用性，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
