Zusammenfassung:Introduction -- Conceptual background: resilience and urban -- Empirical background: the causes, threats of, and responses to urban flooding in China and the world -- Research methodology -- Individual resilience to urban flooding of Gongming -- Factors influencing individual resilience to urban flooding: people-disaster-place-society -- Nurturing individual resilience through urban management -- Conclusion.
This book argues that the substantial life and property loss caused by urban flooding might not be a pure result of a vulnerable physical environment-social factors, especially the individual attributes and capacities, could have pivotal roles to play in the resilience discourse as well. In light of this, this research investigates the relationship between individual resilience to urban flooding and urban management, endeavoring to identify place-responsive measures for building resilience for residents vulnerable to urban flooding.
