... infrastructure components against flooding. Based on the interconnection of these infrastructure components, this study combines them, as independent or interdependent components, to create a city resilience index ranging between zero and one. Furthermore, the developed city resilience index takes...

... and infrastructure development. The research examines the displacement of residents due to the demolition of informal settlements along riverbanks, the role of different governmental organizations and the implications of these policies on affected communities. Design/methodology/approach This study uses...

... strains on meager pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure. While we suspect that safety outcomes for vulnerable road users may have been particularly impacted, little research to date has explored this relationship. In addition, there has been a trend of worsening safety for vulnerable road users...

.../methodology/approach By reviewing the literature, various hazards were identified, such as heavy rainfalls and cascading hazards, such as floods and landslides. Even though risk assessments were carried out, 169 people died and essential infrastructure was severely impacted and lost. Through a 12-criteria...

... explores to what extent CEC students perceive the status of the US infrastructure systems similar to an external evaluation model (i.e. American Society of Civil Engineers Infrastructure Report Card). Design/methodology/approach An empirical study was conducted to examine the perception of resilience...

... in resilience fields. The outputs of these sessions were divided into three domains including constructive resilience, infrastructural resilience and administrative resilience, 17 sub-domains and 71 indicators. Then fuzzy analytic network process method was used to weight and prioritize the final indicators...

...Dae Woong Lee Purpose This study aims to provide an analysis and evaluation of infrastructure resilience, one of the components of disaster resilience, to natural hazards. Design/methodology/approach The analysis of this study consists of four stages. First, descriptive statistical analyses...

... concept aimed at increasing the value of water for human needs and reduce flooding. Design/methodology/approach The current approach of relying on drainage systems is ineffective and must be combined with green infrastructures to reduce flooding. Green infrastructures can increase infiltration rates...
