讲座内容:
The resilience of an urban community under natural hazard events depends on the performance of the built environment and on supporting social, economic and public institutions which are essential for immediate response and long-term recovery within the community following a disaster. A community’s social needs and objectives (including post-disaster recovery) are not reflected in the codes, standards and other regulatory documents applied to design of individual facilities. Furthermore, science-based measurement tools to evaluate performance and resilience at community scales, supporting databases and risk-informed decision frameworks to support optimal life-cycle policies aimed at enhancing community resilience are in a rudimentary state of development. A new approach is required, one that reflects the complex inter-dependencies among the physical, social and economic systems on which a vibrant community depends and is built upon an integration of engineering, social sciences and information sciences. The Center of Excellence for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning, headquartered at Colorado State University, was established by The National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2015 to advance the measurement science for understanding the factors that make a community resilient, to assess the likely impact of natural hazards on communities, and to develop risk-informed decision strategies that optimize planning for and recovery from disasters. This seminar summarizes the approach taken by the Center management and its interdisciplinary research teams to advance the science underlying the assessment of urban community resilience, and provides an illustration of how physical, social and infrastructure models can be integrated in a risk-informed decision context.
