Experience and Enlightenment of Earthquake Resilience Practice in New Zealand
Seismic resilience,as a reflection of the concept of resilience in earthquake disaster response,offers new theoretical guidance and practical strategies for earthquake mitigation efforts.New Zealand,being an earthquake-prone country with a century-long history of earthquake response,has developed a relatively mature framework for constructing earthquake resilience.This enhancement has been achieved through top-level design,the establishment of resilient organizational systems,improvements to urban infrastructure resilience,the strengthening of community earthquake mitigation capacities,and the integration of information technology to assist disaster response.In contrast,China faces significant seismic challenges,making the construction of earthquake-resilient cities a daunting objective.The successful experiences of New Zealand in building earthquake resilience provide valuable references and lessons for developing earthquake resilience theories and constructing resilient cities in China.By analyzing New Zealand's approach,China can better navigate its seismic challenges and improve its strategies for earthquake mitigation and disaster response.
