PEOPLES Resilience Framework

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Urban Resilience for Emergency Response and Recovery

Part of the book series: Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering ((GGEE,volume 41))

Abstract

This chapter is proposing a framework for measuring community resilience at different spatial and temporal scales. Seven dimensions are identified for measuring the community resilience: Population and Demographics, Environmental/Ecosystem, Organized Governmental Services, Physical Infrastructures, Lifestyle and Community Competence, Economic Development, and Social-Cultural Capital. They are summarized with the acronym PEOPLES. Each dimension is characterized by a corresponding performance metric that is combined with the other dimensions using a multi-layered approach. Therefore, once a hybrid model of the community is defined, the proposed framework can be applied to measure its performance against any type of extreme event during emergency and in long term post-disaster phases. A resilience index can be determined to reflect all, or part, of the dimensions influencing the events.
