韧性城市评价体系的三种类型及其新的发展方向

Three Approaches for the Assessment on“Resilient City”and Its New Directions

韧性城市正不断发展成为新兴城市的研究热点。目前对韧性城市的概念和特征等已有较为丰富的理论研究,但是与之相应的评价体系仍缺少系统化的、具有可操作意义的整理。完善的韧性城市评价体系不仅有助于其理论的丰富,还能够真实地反映韧性城市的建设情况并引导其建设实践,具有理论和实践的双重意义。本文对韧性城市评价体系研究进行回顾和梳理,将评价体系分为三类:基于城市基本构成要素的评价、基于城市韧性不同特征的评价、基于韧性的阶段过程序列的评价。作者对韧性城市评价体系的未来发展提出建议,鼓励将信息通信技术与发展(ICT4D)的理念融入其构建。其一,在基于城市基本构成要素的韧性城市评价体系中划分与ICT4D有关的度量指标;其二,运用信息通信技术的手段与方法对城市韧性进行评价。

City resilience is becoming a widely discussed topic for young and emerging cities in China.While there is a good amount of theoretical research on city resilience,practical assessment methods for that is yet to be synthesized.A systematic assessment method on city resilience bears both theoretical and pragmatic significance—it not only enriches theories on resilience,but also guides the development of resilient cities in reality.This paper conducts a literature review on resilient city assessment and then suggests classifying the existing assessment methods into three types,respectively stemming from:fundamental factors of city construction,features of city resilience,and stages of resilience.Built on the existing assessment theories,the authors discuss the possibility of integrating Information and Communications Technologies for Development(ICT4 D)into assessing city resilience in the future.One way of integration is to include dimensions concerning ICT4 D in the assessment system;alternatively,ICT4 D can be used as a technological aid in the assessment process.
