Abstract
Urban Communities are exposed to different disaster risks. The paper aims at understanding the interrelation of spatial planning and the resilience of the urban communities for earthquakes and floods. Various spatial planning components were used to evaluate the community resilience to earthquake and flood in the city of Pune of Maharashtra state in India. It has been identified that spatial planning contributes to a greater extent in determining community resilience. Spatial planning results in differential resilience among communities. In the study area, economically weaker households are found to be more vulnerable to disaster risk due to their spatial locations and limited accessibility to share the resources. These factors are found to be contributing to reduced resilience in the city.
