This article explores the role of contextual neighborhood‐level considerations in community resilience planning in coastal urban locations. A comparative case study analysis was conducted in three different locations in the City of Hampton, Virginia, that all share a common challenge of coastal flooding but have distinctly different neighborhood‐level circumstances that shape their flood impacts and resilience building options. The research approach utilizes a co‐production of knowledge and descriptive statistics to identify the overall flood risk and socioeconomic attributes of each locality that may influence broader citywide resilience investments within the realm of three overarching options: protection, accommodation, and relocation. It then applies a geospatial network analysis to determine which study neighborhoods will have significantly reduced access to critical facilities such as emergency services, medical facilities, and schools due to accelerated sea level rise as one of the key coastal hazards in this low‐lying region. The results show that each case study location has its own unique contextual circumstances that define its preferences for different resilience strategies regardless of the actual flood risk. The results also highlight the importance of holistic assessment of granular conditions that play a critical role in prioritization of resource allocation and interventions in coastal municipalities.

探索社区一级的抗洪能力：背景和规模为何如此重要

本文探讨了社区邻里层面的考虑因素在沿海城市地区社区弹性规划中的作用。在弗吉尼亚州汉普顿市的三个不同地点进行了比较案例研究分析，所有这些地方都面临着沿海洪水的共同挑战，但是在不同地方的邻里环境会影响其洪水影响和抗灾力建设方案。该研究方法利用知识和描述性统计数据的共同产生，来识别每个地区的总体洪水风险和社会经济属性，这些属性可能会在三个总体方案的范围内对整个城市的抗灾力投资产生影响：保护，住宿和搬迁。然后，它应用地理空间网络分析来确定哪些研究社区将因加速海平面上升（这是该低洼地区的主要沿海灾害之一）而严重减少对紧急服务，医疗设施和学校等关键设施的使用。结果表明，每个案例研究地点都具有自己独特的上下文环境，无论实际的洪水风险如何，它都定义了其对不同弹性策略的偏好。结果还强调了对颗粒状条件进行整体评估的重要性，这些条件在确定沿海城市的资源分配和干预措施的优先次序方面起着至关重要的作用。由于海平面上升而导致的学校是该低洼地区的主要沿海灾害之一。结果表明，每个案例研究地点都具有自己独特的上下文环境，无论实际的洪水风险如何，它都定义了其对不同弹性策略的偏好。结果还强调了对颗粒状条件进行整体评估的重要性，这些条件在确定沿海城市的资源分配和干预措施的优先次序方面起着至关重要的作用。由于海平面上升，学校成为该低洼地区的主要沿海灾害之一。结果表明，每个案例研究地点都具有自己独特的上下文环境，无论实际的洪水风险如何，它都定义了其对不同弹性策略的偏好。结果还强调了对颗粒状条件进行整体评估的重要性，这些条件在确定沿海城市的资源分配和干预措施的优先次序方面起着至关重要的作用。
