Abstract
Lessons learned from the crisis in Indonesia prove that the concept of community resilience, together with community-based development, significantly affects the ability to fight against the crisis at the local and community levels. In addition to improving urban livability, today’s urban development in Indonesia must also struggle to overcome various pressures due to natural disasters. Community resilience is considered a bottom-up solution to address these problems. This study aims to see how community resilience affects settlements’ livability in Malang City, one of Indonesia’s medium-sized cities. This research also analyses the relationship between resilience and livability variables to formulate prescriptive development strategies. The research used quantitative analysis by compiling and selecting data from secondary and primary sources to formulate indicators and variables of the proposed model. Descriptive analysis and structural equation modelling were conducted using SEM-PLS. The model built from this research shows that community resilience is the main factor that shapes livability in Malang City, indicated by social life, urban environment, and economy. Important variables forming community resilience are population vulnerability, physical infrastructure, and environmental infrastructure.

Goal 11 of the SDGs is to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable
Following the development of recent literature about resilience and learning from the economic crisis that hit Indonesia in the 1990s, which proves that the resilient community can survive and bounce back, we argue that bottom-up community resilience development can enhance the city livability
Indicators that are excluded in the analysis process are indicators that have the same value for all sub-districts, for example, telecommunications, because wireless telecommunications facilities cover all sub-districts
Summary
Goal 11 of the SDGs is to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. This statement implies stages of a human settlement’s quality from inclusive to sustainable cities. The priority is to create inclusive cities and human settlements by ensuring access for all citizens and promoting safety and resilience. Urban Agenda and the Healthy City movements have supported this goal (Alderton et al, 2019). The challenge of each stage of the continuous process toward sustainable cities and human settlements is to improve the city’s livability and the quality of life from the global level to the individual level (Estévez-Mauriz et al, 2017)
