“…The result demonstrates that the interaction factors have a significantly increased impact on the ability of Ganzi to withstand disasters (Table 5). At the same time, it demonstrates how the interaction of infrastructure and economic elements significantly affects the regional differentiation of disaster resilience during disaster resilience development, which is the same as other studies (Mou et al, 2021). The exploration of the main control factors and main control interaction factors in this section will help government managers formulate corresponding resilience improvement measures.…”

“…Disaster resilience is a highly coupled human-environmental system consisting of economic, social, institutional, ecological, and infrastructure (Mou et al, 2021). As early as 2007, the Resilience Alliance proposes that resilience should prioritize four components, each reflecting a different facet of resilient cities as seen through the lenses of infrastructure, the environment, social issues, and economics (Aoki, 2016).…”

Research on resilience under the influence of geological disasters in poverty and disaster-prone areas is a valuable exploration of disaster prevention and mitigation. Ganzi Prefecture occurs geological disasters frequently, resulting in loss of life, destruction of property, and harm to other infrastructure. Applying resilience can improve the ability to absorb and resolve risks, providing insights into sustainable development in Ganzi. This paper aims to assess the resilience of Ganzi Prefecture based on the widely used Baseline Resilience Indicators for Community. This modified system consists of 22 indicators divided into four dimensions: society, economy, infrastructure, and environment. The changes in disaster resilience for 18 nations in Ganzi are calculated from 2011 to 2020. Moran's I model is used to synthesize the dynamic evolvability and spatial correlation of disaster resilience. Geodetector is used to identify primary factors influencing disaster resilience. The findings reveal that (1) disaster resilience increased continuously in Ganzi during the period between 2011 and 2019, and that the gap between the disaster resilience of various counties gradually shrank. (2) The spatial distribution of disaster resilience in Ganzi varies significantly. Southeast Ganzi has greater resilience, whereas the northwest region has a considerably lower resilience. (3) The article identifies seven critical determinants of disaster resilience, and interaction factors have a significant impact on the outcomes. Based on these findings, this study proposed local regional sustainable development policy implications.

“…The concept of urban resilience derives from engineering and ecological resilience (Holling, 1973;Liao, 2012). Its definition is flexible and diverse (Meerow et al, 2016), generally referring to the defense, adaptation, and transformation capacity of urban composite systems in response to a variety of natural and man-made disaster disturbances (Pickett et al, 2004;Mou et al, 2021). The application of scientific and systematic evaluation criteria to quantify urban resilience can, on the one hand, enrich the theory of resilience and aid in the study of the development path of resilient cities (Ahern, 2011;Brown et al, 2012), and on the other hand, provide macro guidance for the practice of resilient city planning and construction.…”

Introduction: Urban resilience construction can aid in the management of urban crises and enhance the quality of the human living environment. Compared to metropolises in developed regions, cities in underdeveloped regions with unsatisfactory natural environments, insufficient economic and social development, and inadequate infrastructure construction are highly vulnerable to challenges posed by natural disasters, epidemics, and climate change. Comprehensive quantitative evaluations are needed to identify avenues for enhancing urban resilience.Methods: This study employs the TOPSIS entropy weight method and coupled coordination model to evaluate the economic, social, environmental, and infrastructure resilience of six cities and states along the Sichuan-Tibet Railway in China from 2015 to 2020. Furthermore, correlation and gray correlation analysis are used to identify the primary factors influencing the urban resilience of underdeveloped regions.Results: Firstly, during 2015-2020, the overall urban resilience of each city and state maintained an increasing trend, with different trends in the evolution of the four resilience indices and differences among cities, and the highest overall resilience is in Lhasa. Secondly, the coupling coordination between the overall resilience and each resilience aspect maintained an increasing trend and differed significantly from each other. Finally, the social and economic resilience of each city and state maintained an increasing trend and differed significantly from each other.Discussion: Economic, social, environmental, and infrastructure factors each have their own characteristics in influencing urban resilience. Based on the results, we present a three-dimensional evaluation model for analyzing the evolutionary trajectories and resilience patterns of cities. This work intends to present new concepts for assessing and optimizing urban resilience in underdeveloped regions using quantitative methodologies, as well as providing references for urban resilience construction in these places.

“…Li et al ( 2021 ) developed a SD model of urban resilience that pay more attention to the multidimensional and evolutionary characteristics, which provided a supplement for the quantitative assessment of urban resilience. Mou et al ( 2021 ) used the SD model to explore the internal mechanism of urban development, which promoted the construction of sustainable and resilient city.…”

In the complex context of urbanization and climate change, how to improve the resilience of cities to deal with various uncertain and unpredictable threats is a new topic with both theoretical and practical challenges. In this paper, the researches on urban resilience are summarized using the bibliometric analysis combined with the visualization analysis. We provide a systematic and objective review of resilience applied to urban development focusing on its conceptual frameworks, research tendencies, and assessment methods. The analysis results demonstrate that an increasing attention has been given to urban resilience, especially in the field of climate change. The degree of research varies significantly in different countries, with the USA dominating in the number of publications, followed by the UK and China. Scholars’ attention to urban resilience in different periods is closely related to the development background and disasters experienced by their countries, but there are also some commonalities. Meanwhile, the multi-dimensional research on urban resilience has been recognized by many scholars. Quantitative assessment tools such as simulation model and optimization model have been widely used to assess the level of urban resilience. Based on this, we put forward the future research trends in this field and provide a potential guide for future application of urban resilience.
