CAREER: Transactive Resilience: Uncovering the Effects of Social Network and Communal Capacity on Disaster Community Resilience

该教师早期职业发展（CAREER）项目旨在通过非营利组织，社区团体，政府机构和受灾害影响社区的建筑环境之间的关系来检查灾难恢复能力。通过更好地理解这些关系，它将揭示分布式或分散式网络如何通过实现组织内和对等互动而不是自上而下的响应来加强高风险地区的抗灾能力，资源分配和应急管理。该项目将进一步探讨如何通过鼓励历史上被边缘化的社区参与规划和应对过程来提高灾害应对的效率和公平性，有效、高效和快速地分发信息和资源是灾害应对和基础设施复原力的基础。由于气候变化，灾害的强度和频率不断增加，这一问题变得更加突出。传统的层级系统虽然有效，但与其他形式的分布式网络相比，效率和速度往往较低，因为它们依赖于较长、繁琐的通信链，将关键信息传达给关键决策者，并为决策和政策提供信息。此外，弱势公民和传统上被边缘化的群体在这些灾害应对和恢复模式中的代表性可能不足，从而进一步被排除在外。本研究计划通过定义，开发和实施一个面向社区组织，非营利组织和政府机构之间的点对点连接的交互弹性模型来修订模型。该项目将通过分析历史数据、对从业人员进行定量和定性评估以及旨在培养交互式复原力的后续干预措施，探索这些分散式网络作为传统线性响应模型的潜在补充。和建筑环境（HDBE）和既定计划，以刺激竞争力的研究（EPSCoR）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。

This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project seeks to examine disaster resilience via relationships among non-profits, community groups, government agencies, and built environment in disaster-affected communities. By better understanding of these relationships, it will shed light on how distributed or decentralized networks can bolster disaster resilience, resource allocation, and emergency management in high-risk regions by enabling intra-organizational and peer-to-peer interactions, rather than top-down responses. The project will further explore how efficiency and equity in disaster response may be improved by encouraging the participation of historically marginalized communities in the planning and response processes.Effective, efficient, and rapid distribution of information and resources is the foundation of disaster response and infrastructure resilience. It becomes even more prominent due to disasters’ increasing intensity and frequency in a changing climate. Traditional, hierarchical systems, though effective, tend to be less efficient and less rapid than other forms of distributed networks as they rely on longer, cumbersome communication chains for key information to reach key decision-makers and inform decisions and policies. Furthermore, vulnerable citizens and traditionally marginalized groups may be underrepresented in, and thus further excluded from, these disaster response and recovery modes. This research plans a revised model by defining, developing, and implementing a Transactive Resilience Model oriented around peer-to-peer connections among community organizations, non-profits, and government agencies. The project will explore these decentralized networks as a potential complement to traditional, linear response models via analysis of historical data, quantitative and qualitative assessment of practitioners, and subsequent interventions aimed at cultivating transactive resilience.This project is jointly funded by Humans, Disasters, and the Built Environment (HDBE) and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.
