URBAN RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT TO FLOOD

Flood resilience can be defined by more than 70 different ways, which can vary between two contrasts: 1) resilience is the potential of a structure to forecast, absorb, accommodate, or recover from the effects of a hazardous event in a convenient and efficient way or 2) act as the function of an urban area, where population tends to live in a manner so that they are not susceptible to the stresses or shocks they encounter. The rapid change in climate and its resulting consequences has led to an increased focus on research, planning, and action on different aspects of urban environment). The sustainably of our urban areas and the interventionist policies to maintain the livelihood are the main emphasis of today’s urban studies.The climate change has two level of direct impacts: shocks and sudden impacts such as typhoons, storms, drought heat waves, and frequent flooding events; and slow ramifications that build gradually over time such as average temperature increase, sea level rise, and long-term changes in rainfall patterns. The resulting impacts of these disturbances are mostly felt by vulnerable people i.e., socially or economically marginalized population, due to their low level of ability to adapt and respond. Therefore, for a sustainable urban development, it is essential that the urban framework must be well built for adaptation to a climate change including frequent flooding.
