弹性社区是人类适应风险社会的基本单元,体现的是与风险共处理念,是对自下而上式灾害管理的强调。本文试图对国外弹性社区研究工作进行梳理,着重析述弹性社区的概念与特征、弹性社区的价值与功能、弹性社区的建构与评估等,以期抛砖引玉。目前,国内对于灾害管理中的社区建设研究尚显薄弱,国外弹性社区的研究可以起到一定的启示作用。 Resilient community is the basic unit for human being to adapt to risk society. It reflects the concept of coexistence with risk and emphasizes the bottom-up disaster management. This paper tries to sort out the research work of flexible community in foreign countries, focusing on the concept and characteristics of flexible community, the value and function of flexible community, the construction and evaluation of flexible community, with a view to promoting. At present, the domestic research on community construction in disaster management is still weak. The study of foreign flexible communities can play a certain enlightenment role.
