Determining the level of a city's disaster resilience and developing a disaster resilience strategy is an important process towards understanding the current and potential future risk of cities. However, the process of determining and mapping the level of urban disaster resilience presents a challenge for the City of Tshwane, as it requires a consolidated and coordinated commitment and collaboration from various role players. This research study developed disaster resilience framework indicators for the City of Tshwane to determine its current disaster resilience and to contribute to its disaster resilience and sustainable development planning strategy. The research assumed a case study design using a qualitative approach to gather data through document analysis and one-on-one interviews. Ten disaster resilience framework indicators were identified as essential indicators in assisting the City of Tshwane with its endeavour to be a disaster resilient city.
确定城市的灾害抵御能力水平并制定灾害抵御战略是了解城市当前和未来潜在风险的重要过程。然而,确定和绘制城市灾害抵御能力水平的过程给茨瓦内市带来了挑战,因为这需要各相关方做出统一协调的承诺与合作。本研究为茨瓦内市制定了灾害抵御框架指标,以确定其当前的灾害抵御能力,并为其灾害抵御和可持续发展规划战略做出贡献。该研究采用案例研究设计,运用定性方法,通过文献分析和一对一访谈收集数据。确定了十个灾害抵御框架指标,作为协助茨瓦内市努力成为灾害抵御型城市的关键指标。
