Abstract

Building smart community resilience has become imperative for addressing vulnerabilities to uncertain disturbances. Consequently, assessing smart community resilience levels is crucial. This study aims to develop an evaluation framework and model applicable to smart community resilience, provide a reference methodology for assessment, elucidate smart community and community resilience interactions, quantify resilience across Chinese smart communities, and recommend strategies to advance smart community and resilience. First, a smart community resilience index system is constructed via a literature review and Delphi method. Second, an assessment model combining the analytic network process, structural vector autoregressive model, and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory is proposed. Third, an empirical evaluation of smart communities in Heilongjiang Province, China, exemplifies the framework. Results exhibit generally low resilience, with inter-community variability attributable to imbalances across dimensions like environmental, economic, social, infrastructural, institutional, and smart. There is also uneven intra-community resilience. Community smartness substantially affects community resilience. Consequently, incorporating the smart dimension into the assessment system is advised to enhance community resilience through intelligent means. Further community-level research should recommend upgrade strategies. Community should concentrate on building economic, infrastructural, and smart resilience to progress smart community and community resilience.
