ABSTRACT Defining vulnerability and identifying vulnerable areas and populations is critical to climate adaptation and resilience. Neighbourhoods are not homogeneous in terms of their socio-economic and physical vulnerability to flooding and other climate related impacts resulting in diverse challenges. Working with communities to better identify their concerns, liabilities, and strengths in the face of climate challenges will help build resiliency for all residents of the Tampa Bay area. This research identifies the weaknesses in knowledge, preparedness and ability to adapt in two communities in Pinellas County, Florida: examining a neighbourhood that is socio-economically vulnerable and a neighbourhood that experiences only physical (locational) vulnerability. We also identify opportunities for inclusive disaster planning, climate adaptation plans and to increase resiliency through long-term interactions between residents, community leaders, and local officials.

两个街区的故事:佛罗里达州皮内拉斯县对气候变化的生物物理和社会经济脆弱性

摘要 定义脆弱性并确定脆弱地区和人口对气候适应和复原力至关重要。社区在社会经济和自然环境对洪水和其他气候相关影响的脆弱性方面并不一致,从而导致各种挑战。与社区合作,更好地确定他们在面临气候挑战时的担忧、责任和优势,将有助于为坦帕湾地区的所有居民建立弹性。这项研究确定了佛罗里达州皮内拉斯县两个社区在知识、准备和适应能力方面的弱点:检查社会经济脆弱的社区和仅经历物理(位置)脆弱性的社区。我们还确定包容性灾难规划的机会,
