“…MSM account for approximately 70% of the newly reported HIV cases, 14 and foreigners are considered vulnerable during disasters owing to language barriers and discrimination. 22 MSM in the data were defined as male cases infected through homosexual intercourse. The data on the number of tests and consultations were not separately reported for these subgroups.…”

“…These disturbances often disrupt the continuity of services to society (Choi et al 2019). In particular, severe shocks tend to be uneven in their impact and associated costs-often disportionally impacting the most disadvantaged and vulnerable (Chang 2016;Hamideh and Rongerude 2018;Mitsova et al 2018;Ye and Aldrich 2020).…”

Incorporating Socioeconomic Metrics in Civil Engineering Projects: The Resilience Perspective

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper explores the role of socioeconomic metrics in the design, planning and operations of civil engineering projects within the specific context of resilience. The inclusion of resilience analysis and design is consistent with the goals of the ASCE Infrastructure Resilience Division (IRD) and related emerging standards and duties of civil engineers. This paper focuses on the practices in design, planning, construction, and operation of civil engineering projects that can deliver social value to communities and offers a set of socioeconomic metrics for consistently measuring these benefits. Socioeconomic metrics benchmark benefits including safety, social equity, health and wellbeing, prosperity, cohesion and inclusivity, and mobility and accessibility during the whole life-cycle of a project. A review of metrics is presented and expanded with an emphasis on the need for contextual narrative support to their application. The aim is to establish further the use of metrics in civil engineering projects to set values at the community level and formulate them to justify and rationalize resilience interventions and strategies. The reviewed concepts and categorized project metrics can be used by a range of actors in addition to civil engineers, such as urban planners, policy makers, or regional developers, preferably in a collaborative manner across these groups, particularly to help prioritize the investment of resources and funds to achieve resilience. Three project examples at differing levels of complexity are presented to conceptually illustrate the approaches outlined herein.
