This Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) will examine the impact of urban development patterns and social vulnerability on impact, dislocation, and early repair and rebuilding decisions which are critical for community resilience. The susceptibility of a community to social and physical impacts from disasters is an important component of creating resilient communities that are able to respond effectively to hazard events and recover quickly after impact. Characteristics of the built, natural and social environment may exacerbate or mitigate such vulnerability and impede or facilitate the ability of residents and businesses to recover. Specifically, the research team will assess the impact of existing social and physical development patterns on community resilience and recovery. Data collection and analysis will be driven by the following research questions:- Did existing development patterns mitigate or exacerbate damage and loss to property?- Did the spatial distribution of vulnerable populations mitigate or exacerbate damage and loss to property?- Do social vulnerability factors facilitate or impede decision-making with regard to dislocation and early repair/rebuilding decisions?Data collected will build on existing databases of environmental, management, and demographic data of the Texas coast. Specifically, the project team has been involved in collecting and analyzing development, sustainability, and resiliency data for the entire Texas Coast and these data have been made easily available for local communities to plan future development (see coastalatlas.tamug.edu). Consequently, findings from the analysis will be both more immediate and more extensive than the proposed data collection alone would permit. Understanding how current development and vulnerability patterns mitigate or exacerbate damage from disasters is critical for enabling local communities and professionals involved in the design, regulation, and management of the built and natural environments to construct communities that are more socially and physically resilient.These data will serve a baseline for further study of community recovery, for which additional funding will be sought. The ability to capture initial damage assessments and early decisions related to dislocation and repair/rebuilding will provide the foundation for the development of a longitudinal database which will continue to generate a better understanding of the relationship between community resilience and recovery. The data regarding dislocation and early repair/rebuilding decisions are particularly ephemeral, justifying the funding under the Small Grants for Exploratory Research.

这项用于探索性研究的小赠款（SGER）将研究城市发展模式和社会脆弱性对影响，脱位以及早期修复和重建决策的影响，这对于社区弹性至关重要。 社区对灾难产生的社会和身体影响的敏感性是创建有弹性社区的重要组成部分，这些社区能够有效地应对危险事件并在影响后迅速恢复。 建筑，自然和社会环境的特征可能会加剧或减轻这种脆弱性，并阻碍或促进居民和企业恢复的能力。 具体而言，研究团队将评估现有的社会和身体发展模式对社区韧性和恢复的影响。 Data collection and analysis will be driven by the following research questions:- Did existing development patterns mitigate or exacerbate damage and loss to property?- Did the spatial distribution of vulnerable populations mitigate or exacerbate damage and loss to property?- Do social vulnerability factors facilitate or impede decision-making with regard to dislocation and early repair/rebuilding decisions?Data collected will build on existing databases of environmental, management, and demographic data of the德克萨斯海岸。 具体而言，项目团队一直参与整个得克萨斯州海岸的收集和分析开发，可持续性和弹性数据，这些数据已经轻松获得了当地社区的计划，以计划未来的发展（请参阅Coastalatlas.tamug.edu）。 因此，分析的发现将比仅拟议的数据收集所允许的更直接和更广泛。了解当前的发展和脆弱性模式如何减轻或加剧灾难的损害对于使当地社区和专业人员能够参与建筑和自然环境的设计，调节和管理，以构建在社会和物理上更具弹性的社区。这些数据将为社区恢复进一步研究，以进一步研究这些基础，以进一步研究，以进一步研究，这将是额外的资助。 捕获初始损害评估以及与位错和修复/重建有关的早期决策的能力将为开发纵向数据库的发展提供基础，该数据库将继续更好地了解社区弹性和恢复之间的关系。有关错位和早期修复/重建决策的数据特别是短暂的，证明了小额补助金的资金供探索性研究。
