Abstract:

To explore the "last-mile" problem of grassroots emergency response capacity, a MCDM based on grey theory was proposed to analyze the rural emergency response capacity under conventional and unconventional states based on the resilience theory. Firstly, from the perspective of resilience, the influencing factors obtained from literature review and field investigation were selected and optimized to construct a model of the influencing factors of rural emergency response capacity. Secondly, the MCDM model was used as a framework to analyze the causality, logical hierarchy, and characteristic state of the influencing factors. Finally, the key factors for the enhancement of the rural emergency response capacity and the resilience of rural villages were identified through the multi-criteria decision-making analysis. The results show that the centrality of leadership team structure is 2.95 and the driving force is 6, which is a tier 1 factor. The centrality of village grid management is 3.08 and the driving force is 6, which is a tier 2 factor. The centrality of normative document development is 2.7 and the driving force is 5, which is a tier 3 factor. The centrality of village network construction is 3.54 and the driving force is 9, which is a tier 3 factor. Leadership team structure, village grid management, normative document development and village network building constitute decision-making intersections, which are key catch-alls for the improvement of village emergency response capacity and resilience.

Key words: multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), emergency response capacity, rural, resilience, grey theory
