摘要:Resilience represents a key issue for modern societies. Resilience is related to sustainability as safeguarding environmental assets can reduce risk and provide resources to facilitate recovery. The methodology quantifies the disaster resilience of city ecosystems by measuring urban efficiency in the event of shocks, according to an anthropocentric perspective. Cities are modelled as hybrid social–physical networks (HSPNs), accounting for interrelations between the physical and social components. Seismic scenarios are run on diverse urban shapes and on the real case study of the city of Sarno. Results on synthetic HSPNs show consistency with the real case study, therefore the validity of the model is highlighted. Urban shapes or forms prove to have a significant impact on urban efficiency in terms of service delivery, and on urban disaster resilience. The methodology proposed in this paper could be a useful tool for urban planners, particularly in cities with high exposure to natural disasters.
