Contribution of Community Resilience to City’s Livability within the Framework of Sustainable Development

Abstract

Lessons learned from the crisis in Indonesia prove that the concept of community resilience, together with community-based development, significantly affects the ability to fight against the crisis at the local and community levels. In addition to improving urban livability, today’s urban development in Indonesia must also struggle to overcome various pressures due to natural disasters. Community resilience is considered a bottom-up solution to address these problems. This study aims to see how community resilience affects settlements’ livability in Malang City, one of Indonesia’s medium-sized cities. This research also analyses the relationship between resilience and livability variables to formulate prescriptive development strategies. The research used quantitative analysis by compiling and selecting data from secondary and primary sources to formulate indicators and variables of the proposed model. Descriptive analysis and structural equation modelling were conducted using SEM-PLS. The model built from this research shows that community resilience is the main factor that shapes livability in Malang City, indicated by social life, urban environment, and economy. Important variables forming community resilience are population vulnerability, physical infrastructure, and environmental infrastructure.

Community Preparedness for Earthquakes Based on Settlement Environment Analysis.

“…Building a "disaster-resilient community" is one of the projects that have been implemented to meet this goal. This village is planned to be a village that can inform disasters in its area and manage community resources to reduce vulnerability and increase disaster risk capabilities (13)(14)(15)(16). A disaster-resilient community has been formed in Bengkulu Province, especially in the Sepang Bay Coastal area, which is located right near the Indian Ocean.…”

Developing a Conceptual Framework for Characterizing and Measuring Social Resilience in Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI)

“…Studies highlight the importance of fostering trust and cooperation, understanding cultural practices and social norms, and the capabilities to assimilate knowledge and learning within these frameworks as essential for building and maintaining resilience [18,31,32]. Today, social resilience is recognized as a critical component of sustainable urban development, particularly in fostering thriving and healthy communities [33,34].…”

Measuring Resilience of a Tourism Village Against Flash Flood Disaster

“…Another objective of the study is to assess the community's preparedness, particularly among Batu City's residents to anticipate similar natural disaster occured. Disaster risk component assessment should consider community livelihood assets [14], [15]. The pentagon asset livelihood analysis was utilized for this analysis, along with several variable questions that respondents submitted via online questionnaire sheets using a media Google form.…”
