The concept of ‘resilience’ breaks down silos by providing a ‘conceptual umbrella’ under which different disciplines come together to tackle complex problems with more holistic interventions. Acknowledging the complexity of Davoudi’s approach (2012) means to recognize that ‘spatial resilience’ is influenced by many phenomena that are difficult to measure: the adaptation and transformation of a co-evolutive system. This paper introduces a pioneering approach that is propaedeutic to the spatial measure of urban resilience assuming that it is possible to define a system as being intrinsically vulnerable to stress and shocks and minimally resilient, as described by Folke in 2006. In this sense, vulnerability is counterpoised to resilience, even if they act simultaneously: the first includes the exposure to a specific hazard, whereas the second emerges from the characteristics of a complex socio-ecological and technical system. Here we present a Geographic Information System-based vulnerability matrix performed in ESRI ArcGIS 10.6 environment as an output of the spatial interaction between sensitivities, shocks, and linear pressures of the urban system. The vulnerability is the first step of measuring the resilience of the system by a semi-quantitative approach. The spatial interaction of these measures is useful to define the interventions essential to designing and building the adaptation of the built environment by planning governance. Results demonstrate how mapping resilience aids the spatial planning decision-making processes, indicating where and what interventions are necessary to adapt and transform the system.

Flooding has become the natural disaster that causes the greatest losses, with urban flooding restricting the healthy development of cities. The ability to assess a city’s resilience to flooding is very important and would contribute to improving resilience and also help to inform planning and development. The aim of this study was to determine the key urban flood resilience indicators for three different Chinese cities (Wuhan, Nanjing, and Hefei) and to prioritize these for each city. A combined interpretive structure and network analysis method (ISM-ANP) model was used to evaluate and analyze the selected evaluation indicators. A four-level urban flood resilience evaluation network model was constructed to determine the interdependence between indicators and to calculate the priorities of the flood resilience indicators for the three cities. Overall, rescue capacity was found to be extremely important and was defined as the most important index. For Wuhan, indicators related to the distribution of waters were found to be more important, while for Nanjing, spatial planning and spatial structure of land use were found to be key priorities. In Hefei, the level of investment in infrastructure and the level of public resources occupy a more important position. The framework presented in this study contributes to the understanding of urban flood resilience and has the potential to be extended to other natural hazards.

Planning Concept

There is an urgent need for cities to consider disaster and climate change issues. Disasters have caused major disruptions in low- and middle- income countries, often wiping out decades of development benefits in a few moments. Including Kalanganyar, which is geographically located in the hazard-prone. This village has no sandy beach area and directly facing the mangrove forest as the outermost boundary. Since 2/3 of the area is aquaculture, this has resulted in some areas lacking adequate mangrove forests. Therefore, Kalanganyar area becomes prone to tsunami hazards as well as river/tidal flooding. Therefore, disaster risk assessment is needed as input data in spatial planning and spatial planning of Kalanganyar Village as a disaster preventive action. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenology approach. The results of the data tape were analyzed by synchronic reading. Character appraisal is used to assess the eight principles of urban resilience design. The goal is to produce an anticipatory spatial planning concept for the natural disaster, the existing disaster of natural disasters but also human-caused disasters. From the results of character appraisal reading on the area, it was found that the urban fabric is less resilient. This is also coupled with some of the more frequent natural disasters that are floods and tsunamis. This then becomes the basis for the spatial development of disaster-prone areas and meets the overall parameters. Spatial area arrangement is done to anticipate future and future disasters, with more compact urban fabric arrangement, restoring ecological mangrove function according to standard, and also equitable distribution of village facilities and infrastructure so that the area is well developed and planned. This research can be a good and appropriate preventive action for the region.
