Abstract:

In order to evaluate regional resilience and influencing factors of different regions facing the impact of natural disasters, regional resilience was comprehensively reflected by the vulnerability and adaptability of the region in the impact of natural disasters, and a framework was constructed to understand and quantify regional resilience. The SBM-DEA method was applied to measure regional resilience levels of 27 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020, and the spatial effects of social, economic, environmental and other multidimensional influencing factors on regional resilience were examined in conjunction with the spatial Durbin model. The results show that: the regional resilience level in China from the perspective of natural disasters shows an overall pattern of low in the north and high in the south, with large differences between regions and relatively small differences in years. There is a trend of gradual expansion of the magnitude and frequency of changes and the regional resilience performance is not strongly correlated with the level of socio-economic development. In the spatial econometric regression, various influencing factors, such as education level, medical resources, social security, industrial structure and regional resilience, form a significant spatial effect relationship with regional resilience.
