“…Among several other methods found in literature that are used to assess processes considering the interrelationship of system variables and having a time reference ( Bayesian networks [23]; Input-Output economic model [24]; Agent based model [25], [26]), the system dynamics approach was found to be the most appropriate to analyse the causal relationships among various factors. This approach is based on systemic thinking and is extensively applied in many research fields including in social, economic, ecological, and resource and policy assessment systems.…”

Research focuses on linking climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction strategies. The aim of the research is to test an urban resilience assessment tool through a local case study. The tool is based on integrating two methods. Multi-criteria analysis and system dynamics model is used to create a dynamic Urban Resilience Index. For the case study a local medium sized town is chosen in Latvia that is subject to flood risk. The results of the model simulation show that the model is suitable for both short term and long term resilience assessment. Future studies must focus on the precision of such a tool, which in this study could not be evaluated. Overall, the tool presented can contribute to offsetting the existing knowledge gaps between climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction for better policy planning and strengthening urban resilience on the local level.

“…In the microeconomic approach workers absorb the recovery process within the area readjusting their demand for labor. When population movement is introduced the system reorganizes at a new equilibrium (Grinberger & Samuels, 2018).…”

This research aims to analyze the absorption of labor and the contribution of the processing industry sector to economic growth in the Province of the Bangka Belitung Islands. The data used in this research is secondary data of time series for the period 2012 to 2021 which is sourced from the Indonesia Statistics (BPS) of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province and literature studies. The analytical method used to calculate the elasticity of employment opportunities to see the absorption of labor and the proportion method to see the contribution of economic growth this research used the proportion method. The results showed that the Manpower and Workforce Growth Rate in the processing industry sector in the Province of the Bangka Belitung Islands in 2009-2021 is fluctuated. The average distribution of workers in the processing industry sector is 6.45 percent. The highest distribution of labor in the processing industry sector occurred in 2020 was 8.19 percent and the lowest in 2010 at 4.47 percent. The absorption of labor in the processing industry sector is mostly absorbed in the tin metal processing industry. The processing industry sector is one of the five sectors that have the largest contribution to the economic structure of the Bangka Belitung Islands over the last 10 years besides agriculture sector, trade sector, mining sector, and construction sector. The average elasticity of employment opportunities in the Province of the Bangka Belitung Islands is 315.41 percent.

“…Li, Li, Liu, Wu, Ai, and Wang (2013) develop an ABM that considers the influence of external population changes as a result of the labour market expansion on the housing market in the city of Dongguan, China, a city that has gone through rapid population growth since 2000. Grinberger and Samuels (2018) study the impact of a natural disaster that causes an immediate exogenous shock to an industry on the local residential and commercial property stock. The authors investigate the sensitivity of the urban system to capital shocks to find out 'how resilient the urban fabric is'.…”

“…Finally, Ge, Polhill, Craig, and Liu (2018) develop an ABM to study the transition of Aberdeen City, a city in Northeast Scotland that relies heavily on the oil and gas industry, from the oil industry to a green one. The model considers both the labour and the residential sectors, but like Grinberger and Samuels (2018), the residential sector is rather simplified and does not explicitly represent the tradings of properties. Since housing availability and employment opportunity are the two main drives for people's residential and relocation decisions, we will need a model that incorporate and connect the two to understand the dynamic process of urban transition under major socio-economic shocks.…”
