Abstract

The number of urban crises has been notably on the rise all around the globe during the past few decades due to shifts in ecological cycles and social challenges, among other reasons. These crises have had a more pronounced impact on urban areas, which are more vulnerable. The various aspects of resilience have become the focal points in sustainable development research and other related studies, and some solutions have been proposed within the concepts and framework of sustainable development for countering these crises, among which urban resilience is more prominent owing to its inherent functional principles. Among the various aspects of resilience, social resilience is linked to the social capacities of urban regions. A review of the related literature reveals the shortage of studies about the relationship between urban spaces and social resilience. This study aims to uncover the mechanisms through which urban spaces influence social resilience following natural disasters through the perceptions of the citizens affected by the March 2019 flood in Aq Qala, Golestan Province, Iran. To achieve this, we first developed a conceptual model grounded in a review of relevant theoretical literature. Subsequently, a structured 5-point scale questionnaire was designed and distributed for data collection. The collected data was then subjected to structural equation modeling to analyze the conceptual model. The findings highlight the critical factors in forming social resilience from the perspective of Aq Qala residents, with a specific emphasis on city structure, activity, social capital, and social cohesion as integral components.

研究自然灾害情况下城市空间对社会复原力的影响:伊朗 Aq Qala 市受 2019 年 3 月洪水影响的市民的见解
过去几十年来,由于生态周期的变化和社会挑战等原因,全球城市危机的数量明显增加。这些危机对城市地区的影响更为明显,因为城市地区更为脆弱。抗灾能力的各个方面已成为可持续发展研究和其他相关研究的焦点,并在可持续发展的概念和框架内提出了一些应对这些危机的解决方案,其中城市抗灾能力因其固有的功能原则而更为突出。在复原力的各个方面中,社会复原力与城市地区的社会能力有关。对相关文献的回顾显示,有关城市空间与社会复原力之间关系的研究十分匮乏。本研究旨在通过伊朗戈勒斯坦省 Aq Qala 地区受 2019 年 3 月洪灾影响的市民的看法,揭示城市空间在自然灾害后影响社会复原力的机制。为此,我们首先根据对相关理论文献的回顾建立了一个概念模型。随后,我们设计并分发了一份结构化 5 点量表问卷,用于收集数据。然后对收集到的数据进行结构方程建模,以分析概念模型。研究结果从 Aq Qala 居民的角度强调了形成社会复原力的关键因素,特别强调城市结构、活动、社会资本和社会凝聚力是不可或缺的组成部分。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
