Urban as a term captures megacities, cities, and generally, human settlements, that are characterised by concentration of quantifiable and non-quantifiable subjects, objects and value attributions to them. The scope is to narrow down resilience from an all-encompassing concept to applied ways of scientifically attempting to ‚measure’ this type of disaster related resilience. 28 chapters in this book reflect opportunities and doubts of the disaster risk science community regarding this ‚measurability’. Therefore, examples utilising both quantitative and qualitative approaches are juxtaposed. This book concentrates on features that are distinct characteristics of resilience, how they can be measured and in what sense they are different to vulnerability and risk parameters. Case studies in 11 countries either use a hypothetical pre-event estimation of resilience or are addressing a ‘revealed resilience’ evident and documented after an event. Such information can be helpful to identify benchmarks or margins of impact magnitudes and related recovery times, volumes and qual | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | Urban Resilience; Urban Risk Assessment; Resilience Measurability; Urban Infrastructure; City Management | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-68606-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-88630-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-68606-6Series ISSN 2365-757X Series E-ISSN 2365-7588 | issn_series | 2365-757X | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2018 |
