Abstract

The research on "resilience" in the field of urban disaster prevention has gradually changed from macro resilience strategies to construction of concrete resilience models. The community resilience has become an important link in implementing urban resilience capabilities. This work takes "social capital" as a breakthrough in the construction of a community resilience management model. Based on field surveys of typical communities in Tianjin, China, the work quantitatively analyses the relationship between resilience, social capital, and active participation in the community. The research explores various elements of social capital, community involvement and community resilience by using structural equation models in AMOS11A structural equation modeling (SEM) software solution. The results show that community trust as a dominant factor to affect the construction of community resilience and shows a core pathway to transfer the influence from community network and participation to resilience. Based on these results, this work highlights how enhancing trust and connectivity can influence community resilience, and develops pathways for further community management on resilience.
