摘要

This research addresses the escalating vulnerability of housing and communities to seismic hazards through resilient urban planning and retrofitting. With a focus on regions, particularly Badakhshan, Afghanistan, facing disproportionate impacts, the study aims to enhance housing resilience, emphasize social equity in planning, and engage communities in mitigation efforts. Employing a comprehensive methodology, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, the research unveils a 50% reduction in structural damage for retrofitted houses and resilient communities resulting from community participation. Predictor variables like housing condition, household income, and employment status correlate significantly with people’s satisfaction and housing affordability. The study identifies a relationship between land prices and urban density, emphasizing higher prices in denser areas. The findings underscore the necessity for a holistic and inclusive approach in mitigating housing vulnerability, highlighting the effectiveness of community-based strategies. Despite challenges like financial constraints, the success of global policies indicates promise. Future directions call for prioritized funding, integration of seismic resilience in planning, and collaborative efforts among stakeholders. Policymakers are encouraged to empower communities through engagement, skills provision, and cultural sensitivity for sustainable disaster risk reduction and resilience-building.
