Abstract: |
Public health emergencies are serious threats and challenges faced by modern cities.
It is an important concern for all countries in the world to enhance the ability of cities to resist
various sudden public health crises while maintaining their vitality. Resilience theory provides a
new perspective for improving the city’s ability to respond to public health emergencies, which
changes emergency management from result-oriented to process-oriented. Taking Wuhan City,
China as an example, this study discusses the evaluation, simulation and enhancement strategies
of urban resilience in the face of public health emergencies. Firstly, based on the resilience theory,
the evaluation index system of urban resilience is built from five dimensions: natural resilience,
economic resilience, social resilience, physical resilience, and organizational resilience. The sources
of indicators include high-frequency indicators and characteristic indicators. The five resilience
dimensions jointly improve the ability to resist interference, recover and exercise self-control. Then,
this study delineates system boundaries and analyzes internal elements, and clarifies the causal
feedback relationships between indicators. Incorporating pertinent variables and employing the
system dynamics method, a comprehensive urban resilience simulation model is devised to assess
the urban resilience of Wuhan from 2009 to 2020. In addition, the resilience trajectory of Wuhan
from 2021 to 2030 was simulated and predicted by reflecting on different public health emergency
response policies, including the status quo continuation model, the material space priority model,
the social space priority model and the resilience development model. The research results can
provide new ideas and methods for urban governance and emergency management. The results show
that: 1) the most significant factors affecting the resilience of cities are the number of employees in
information transmission and computer services, the number of employees in public administration
and social organizations and the number of health facilities. This emphasizes that urban areas
wishing to improve their ability to cope with unforeseen public health emergencies must strengthen
their information dissemination and control capabilities, ensure the provision of human resources for
public administration departments, and strengthen the allocation of resources for medical care and
public health work. 2) From 2009 to 2020, the urban resilience level of Wuhan steadily improved,
and the resilience level of each subsystem increased in a wave-like manner, with more dramatic
fluctuations in organizational resilience, social resilience, economic resilience, and physical resilience
due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia outbreak in 2020. From 2009 to 2020, the remarkable
improvement of Wuhan’s organizational resilience can be attributed to the allocation of special
resources for urban medical care services and the rapid development of information technology.
Physical resilience displayed a trend of fluctuating growth. The fluctuating growth trend of physical
resilience is closely linked to the level of urban infrastructure development and information
communication. This pattern of f luctuating growth ref lects the imbalance of infrastructure
construction and informatization in Wuhan. 3) Under different policy development scenarios, the
development trends of urban resilience in Wuhan from 2021 to 2030 significantly differ, with theresilience development mode being the best and the status quo continuation mode being the worst. In the scenario of elastic development model, the elasticity
index increased from 0.362 to 0.912, which is the largest among the four scenarios. Under the resilience development mode scenario, balanced progress
across individual subsystems culminates in a state of improved and well-balanced resilience within each. In light of these research outcomes, several
strategies for enhancing urban resilience in responding to public health emergencies are recommended: 1) establishing a comprehensive command system
to bolster emergency decision-making capabilities. Strengthening top-level design is crucial, delineating hierarchical structures and role assignments within
the command system, instituting mechanisms for information communication and sharing, and ensuring swift and accurate transmission of information
between command entities. 2) Enhancing the development of the medical workforce and constructing a resilient healthcare resource system. Evaluation of
the research results demonstrates that in 2020, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, Wuhan experienced a significant decline in physical resilience. This
decline can be attributed to the scarcity of population healthcare resources and inadequate medical facilities. Therefore, it is essential to intensify the training
and preparedness of medical personnel, fortifying collaborative endeavors between the medical workforce, communities, and volunteer organizations.
3) Alleviating the pressure of population aging and promoting social resilience enhancement. Over the past ten years, Wuhan has made the most limited
progress in improving the flexibility of social subsystems, which is mainly restricted by the increasing aging of population. Thus, it is imperative to fortify
the elderly care and support system, refine the elderly care service infrastructure, and enhance the risk resistance capability and quality of life for the elderly
population. (4) Facilitating the transition of Wuhan towards a resilience development mode to attain multidimensional resilience enhancement. Research
findings demonstrate that the resilience development mode represents the optimal trajectory for enhancing urban resilience, necessitating a comprehensive
consideration of factors spanning nature, economy, society, physical, and organizational aspects to optimize the implementation efficacy of limited resources. |
