Abstract
Community-based small businesses (CSBs) bear the brunt of environmental hazards aggravated by climate change, thus requiring appended community support. This research addresses the knowledge gap in the increasingly convergent field of hazard and climate adaptation planning research. It aims to benchmark the commitments of local plans toward CSB resilience (CSB-R). We develop a CSB-R Framework with eleven planning objectives across five dimensions and evaluate relevant plans of fifty-six Gulf Coast counties using a Natural Language Processing method. Our evaluation results outline the inadequate planning focus on CSB-R that is distinct by community contexts, which requires tailored improvement strategies accordingly.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Planning Education and Research (JPER) is a forum for planning educators and scholars (from both academia and practice) to present results from teaching and research that advance the profession and improve planning practice. JPER is the official journal of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP) and the journal of record for North American planning scholarship. Aimed at scholars and educators in urban and regional planning, political science, policy analysis, urban geography, economics, and sociology, JPER presents the most vital contemporary trends and issues in planning theory, practice, and pedagogy.
