Grassroots Mirroring Under COVID-19: Does Community resilience Affect Residents' Response? the Case of Shenzhen City

Abstract

In the face of the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, the community, as the interface between the state and the population, has played a large role in stemming the impact of COVID-19, and community resilience has become a key part of community governance. However, the negative response of some residents is an important factor that hinders the community's emergency response capabilities. Therefore, starting from empirical research, this chapter uses factor analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, and cluster analysis to explore the differences in community resilience and residents’ risk response methods in different types of communities, as well as the impact mechanism of community resilience on residents’ risk response methods. The study found that first, community resilience has a significant positive impact on positive risk response, among which governance performance has a more significant impact; second, community resilience has a negative correlation with negative coping styles, in which governance performance has a more significant impact; third, there are obvious differences in the level of resilience between different types of communities, with urban communities being the best, mixed communities second, and transformation communities the last. After the shock of COVID-19, the formation of an individualised society and an all-powerful governmental governance system has led to an increasingly prominent role for communities in social management. Community resilience continues to influence the way residents respond and becomes a key factor in controlling COVID-19.
