ABSTRACT

Resilience is an important concept in planning/policy. The diversity of theoretical conceptualisations, lack of a clear definition, and ambiguity in application to cities have made urban resilience a difficult concept to pin-down. This paper explores the dimensions of urban resilience to conceptualise and operationalise resilience, connecting theory and practice using two Australian cases. The findings call for a reconsideration of the existing dimensions (infrastructural, ecological, social and community, economic, and institutional) and highlight urban political resilience, a new dimension essential for a transformative adaptation approach.

使用城市复原力概念应对气候相关灾害的框架

摘要

弹性是规划/政策中的一个重要概念。理论概念的多样性、缺乏明确的定义以及在城市应用中的模糊性使得城市韧性成为一个难以确定的概念。本文探讨了城市复原力的维度，以将复原力概念化和实施，并使用两个澳大利亚案例将理论与实践联系起来。研究结果要求重新考虑现有维度（基础设施、生态、社会和社区、经济和制度），并强调城市政治复原力，这是变革性适应方法必不可少的一个新维度。
