Understanding people's perception of community resilience to disaster is important. This study explores the correlations of household livelihood assets, the adopted household disaster preparedness activities, and individuals' assessment of community resilience.
The data was collected in 2018 by surveying a group of survivors affected by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. The CART (Community Advancing Resilience Toolkit) was used to measure individuals' perception of community resilience, while the livelihood assets included financial, physical, natural, human, and social capitals owned by the family, and the preparedness contained 13 activities. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models were used to test our hypotheses.
Social capital is consistently and positively associated with the overall individuals' perceived community resilience, while the natural, human, and financial capitals' effects are not significant. The awareness and participation preparedness activities are positively correlated with the perceived community resilience, but the material preparedness activities are not.
Social capital and disaster preparedness activities are critical in building community resilience. Community resilience can be achieved by making the community more connected and by providing disaster preparedness interventions.
了解人们对社区应对灾害能力的看法非常重要。本研究探讨了家庭生计资产、采用的家庭灾害准备活动以及个人对社区复原力的评估之间的相关性。
该数据于 2018 年通过调查受 2008 年汶川地震影响的一组幸存者收集。采用社区推进复原力工具包（CART）来衡量个人对社区复原力的看法，而生计资产包括家庭拥有的金融、物质、自然、人力和社会资本，而准备活动则包含 13 项活动。使用普通最小二乘法（OLS）回归模型检验我们的假设。
社会资本与个人对社区整体复原力的看法呈一致的正相关关系，而自然、人力和金融资本的影响并不显著。意识和参与准备活动与感知社区复原力呈正相关，但物质准备活动则不是。
社会资本和灾害准备活动对建立社区复原力至关重要。可以通过使社区更加紧密联系和提供灾害准备干预措施来实现社区复原力。
