To promote community resilience and equity, this Disaster Resilience Research Grant (DRRG) project examines a series of place-based, human-centered networks, leveraging micromobility (lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters), community social ties, and resilience hubs, to better meet those impacted by a disaster after the event. In particular, the project investigates the potential role of social networks and micromobility in enhancing the planning and operation of resilience hubs, an emerging infrastructural concept that has the potential to support more equitable disaster response and recovery efforts. The project investigates opportunities and challenges regarding enhancing resilience in two study locations: a metropolitan coastal city and an inland suburban community where the results can inform more equitable transportation operational strategies and preparedness measures for other highly vulnerable regions of the United States. The results of this research can extend the state of knowledge about how micromobility resilience hubs can support social network connectivity, increase community cohesion and capacity, and enhance community and national resilience. Communities and people are at the center of the research, learning from stakeholder expertise and experiences to adapt the resilience hub concept to meet the needs of future resilient cities.Research is needed to understand how micromobility infrastructure and community social networks can be effectively leveraged in disaster response. Using human-centered data and mixed-method analyses, this Disaster Resilience Research Grant project combines social network analysis, qualitative thematic analysis, discrete choice modeling, and agent-based simulations, to model a cohesive network for disaster-prone communities addressing the vulnerabilities of individuals and the community. The objectives of this project are to 1) understand the functions, usage, and applicability of micromobility in different disaster scenarios; 2) understand how micromobility systems and local social networks can be integrated to better support communities in both every day and disaster scenarios; and 3) validate the applicability of micromobility resilience hubs as connection points for micromobility and social networks in a range of communities and disaster types via the empirical analysis and synthesis of findings from focus groups, surveys, interviews, simulations, and on-the-ground field tests co-designed with community partners.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

为了促进社区复原力和公平性，该灾难复原力研究补助金 (DRRG) 项目研究了一系列以地点为基础、以人为本的网络，利用微移动（自行车或踏板车等轻型车辆）、社区社会联系和复原力中心，更好地在事件发生后与受灾难影响的人们见面。该项目特别调查了社交网络和微移动在加强复原力中心的规划和运营方面的潜在作用，复原力中心是一个新兴的基础设施概念，有可能支持更公平的灾难应对和恢复工作。该项目调查了两个研究地点增强复原力的机遇和挑战：一个沿海大都市和一个内陆郊区社区，其结果可以为美国其他高度脆弱地区提供更公平的交通运营策略和准备措施。这项研究的结果可以扩展关于微移动弹性中心如何支持社交网络连接、提高社区凝聚力和能力以及增强社区和国家弹性的知识。社区和人民是研究的中心，从利益相关者的专业知识和经验中学习，以适应弹性中心的概念，以满足未来弹性城市的需求。需要进行研究以了解如何在灾难中有效利用微移动基础设施和社区社交网络回复。该抗灾研究补助金项目使用以人为中心的数据和混合方法分析，结合了社交网络分析、定性主题分析、离散选择建模和基于代理的模拟，为易受灾害影响的社区建立了一个有凝聚力的网络，解决了脆弱性个人和社区。该项目的目标是 1) 了解微移动在不同灾害场景中的功能、用法和适用性； 2) 了解如何整合微移动系统和当地社交网络，以便在日常和灾害情况下更好地支持社区； 3) 通过实证分析和焦点小组、调查、访谈、模拟和实地调查结果的综合，验证微交通弹性中心作为微交通和社交网络在一系列社区和灾害类型中的连接点的适用性与社区合作伙伴共同设计的现场测试。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
