Assessing Community Adaptive Capacity for Climate Resilient Development: A Complex Adaptive Systems Case Study Analysis of Mathare Valley, Nairobi, Kenya
摘要
This research takes an urban resilience standpoint to explore the interconnections of resilience components within a community network. It identifies leverage points through an in-depth case study analysis, based on empirical evidence and structural equation modelling, to draw conclusions as to the mechanics of these relationships in the context of a post-colonial sub-Saharan African state, where informal settlements are in a state of deprivation and subject to significant risk.
