“…Moreover, through the identification of the secondary variables, other important relationships have been identified. As an example, it has been recognised that the improvement of the (1) accessibility to public transport, (2) the increasing of the quantity of services and the (3) possible improvement in employment, related to the enhancement of the redundancy, can reduce the quantity of the vulnerable people [ 54 ]. At the same time, it is also possible to underline that the redundancy enhancement should have negative impacts on the environmental dimension.…”

“…The challenge is providing a general evaluation framework, that is able to analyze urban resilience within its capacities [ 57 ], managing cities as complex and adaptive systems [ 35 ]. The final objective is proposing an evaluation tool to assess urban development strategies [ 46 , 54 , 55 ], considering their probable impacts on urban system over time. Thus, this research can support the definition of actions and policies for urban resilience enhancement, predicting their probable effects [ 62 ].…”

Current urban agenda is interested in developing urban strategies to enhance urban resilience for cities. This paper examines the concept of urban resilience applied in the context of urban planning with specific attention to which are the capacities that make urban systems resilient. The knowledge and the understanding of these capacities are fundamental to set up suitable strategies. However, only few frameworks consider urban resilience and its capacity within the complexity of urban system. Through an in-depth literature review, this paper aims at providing a methodological framework both to recognize these capacities and analyze which are the main factors that mainly contribute to the achievement of these ability. The paper illustrates the first step of the application of a System Dynamics approach to analyze the redundancy capacity in order to define which are the key variables to enhance this capacity and also to determine which can be the impacts on the urban systems as a whole of the redundancy.

“…While only few cases documented in literature describe experience using simulation models (Herrera 2018;Machado et al 2019;Chapman and Darby 2016;Joakim et al 2016), we argue that simulation models should be developed always that is feasible to do so. Having a simulation model offered an opportunity to stakeholders for challenging their own believes and understanding and to discuss in operational terms some mechanisms controlling the system.…”

Resilience has emerged as a buzzword among researchers and practitioners. However, despite its popularity, there has been little progress in moving it from a metaphor to applied projects. While case study research is rich with examples of systems that have proven to be resilient or are striving to develop resilience, the approaches for operationalising concepts described in the literature are still under development. This paper contributes to this development by incorporating system dynamics (SD) modelling within participatory approaches to resilience assessment. With this aim, we combined concepts and practices from the resilience literature with experiences, those documented in the literature and our own, applying system dynamics to resilience assessment. The proposed approach builds and complement other the literature by outlining a modelling process that is consistent with both the resilience literature and the SD modelling practices and providing a generic structure for designing interventions.

“…In [31,32], Causal Loop Diagrams were used in tackling the issue of the environmental effect of production, especially on enhancing sustainability and resilience of organizations and societies by redistributing manufacturing. Causal Loop Diagram was used by [33] to model the social vulnerability and resilience when implementing climate change adaptation polices.…”

City resilience is a pressing issue for city stakeholders, as disasters frequently occur while citizens are often not prepared for unexpected events. The Smart Mature Resilience project has developed a Resilience Maturity road-map for cities to achieve a higher mature level of resilience. This road-map is a basis for tackling two System Dynamics modeling challenges: How to design a model that allows users to perceive the importance of adopting policies that are in line with the sequence in the road-map? And how to design a model that shows the consequences of policy adoption in terms of budget and the resilience improvement reflected by the resilience indicators? The paper analyzes and compares two alternative structures for exploring resilience policies to be used by city stakeholders. Our focus is on exploring the behavior of the model and selecting a policy structure that is realistic and likely to generate a useful learning experience.
