Measuring changes in urban functional capacity for climate resilience: Perspectives from Korea

Working together to face humanity’s greatest threats: Introduction to the Future of Research on Catastrophic and Existential Risk

“…Other papers in the special issue demonstrate the value of taking lessons from other disciplines in order to understand catastrophic risk. Kim & Song (2018) look at how urban climate resilience has developed in light of a longer-term perspective: "in recent years, exogenous changes and risks, such as depopulation, aging society, climate change, and disasters, have been emerging, and thus it is important for urban planning to reflect the various components of the urban system" (2). The use and adaptation of novel methodologies, such as DELPHI techniques (Kim & Song 2018) and other horizon scanning exercises (Aicardi et al 2018), has borne fruit in technological forecasting and urban planning.…”

Assessment of Climate Disaster Resilience In Dhaka City: A Case Study of Ward No. 28 of Dhaka South City Corporation

“…Urban services are key to building urban systems; support some urban functions for example; economy, society, and housing (Bruneau et al, 2003). Urban resilience focuses on the ability to promote and maintain the supply and function of services (Kim and Song, 2018). Function classifications for measuring and defining urban climate resilience, shown in Table 1.…”

Urban resilience under the COVID-19 pandemic: A quantitative assessment framework based on system dynamics

“… Copeland et al (2020) stated that proxy indicators should correspond to the underlying understanding of resilience. However, Kim and Song (2018) claimed that there were gaps in the relationship between conceptual attributes and measurement variables. Therefore, this paper applied urban functions to properly assess urban resilience.…”

“…One approach is to divide urban functions based on human activities and the urban spaces where these activities take place ( Chen et al, 2020 ; Qian et al, 2021 ; Ye et al, 2021 ), mainly including living, working, commerce, education, transportation and recreation; the second is to identify urban functions by the critical physical facilities, such as energy, transportation, communication, healthcare, education and government ( Zhang et al, 2021 ). In addition, Kim and Song (2018) classified urban functions into basic, developmental, sustainable and maintenance functions from the perspective of urban development. Obviously, some of the urban functions in these studies overlap to a certain extent, and which urban functions need to be highlighted in the context of large-scale PHEs is not obvious.…”
