Assessment of Rigid-Elastic-Resilient Society Responses to Natural Disasters in Red Soil Area of South China
Journal Title: Bulletin of Soil and Water Conservation - Year 2023, Vol 43, Issue 1
Abstract
[Objective] The method for building a society having robust and effective responses to natural disasters was determined in order to provide a scientific reference for preventing and reducing risks from major natural disasters in the red soil area of South China. [Methods] Changting County, Fujian Province was used as a typical disaster area in the red soil area of South China. An index system was constructed from three dimensions that included rigid resistance, elastic control, and resilient recovery. The entropy weight TOPSIS model and the coupling coordination model were used to quantitatively evaluate the comprehensive level and the coupling and coordination between the first level of rigid-elastic-resilient society responses to natural disasters in Changting County from 2006 to 2019. An obstacle factor analysis was conducted. [Results] ① The level of rigid-elastic-resilient society responses to natural disasters in Changting County evolved from a slow decline to a significant increase, with an increase of 0.4616 from 2006 to 2019, showing a significant growth trend overall. ② The rigid resistance level, elastic control level, and resilience recovery level of the rigid-elastic-resilient society responses to natural disasters in Changting County generally showed a significant growth trend. Only the resilience recovery index significantly decreased from 0.402 0 to 0.280 9 from 2006 to 2010. ③ Among various evaluation indicators, the decline of disaster monitoring capability, public security management level, proportion of tertiary industry, carbon storage capability, and water conservation function were the key factors restricting the development of the rigid-elastic-resilience society responses to natural disasters in Changting County. [Conclusion] The red soil area of South China was evaluated from three dimensions including rigid resistance, elastic control, and resilient recovery. These three dimensions effectively and accurately reflected the comprehensive level of rigid, elastic, and resilient society responses to natural disasters in the region. At the same time, the weak links in development should be strengthened to avoid the decline of rigid-elastic-resilient society responses to natural disasters.
