Saja, Abdul Majeed Aslam (2020) Surrogate approach to assess social resilience in disaster management. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
This thesis presents an innovative approach to assess social resilience in disaster management using surrogate approach. Surrogates are explored by identifying key facets of target indicators, when target indicators are complex and/or not feasible to measure directly. The existing social resilience measurements are not always practical or effective due to conceptual and methodical constraints. This thesis devised and tested an integrated surrogate development framework to conceptualize, identify, and evaluate surrogates for assessing social resilience. The findings will guide policy makers and practitioners, particularly at the local and sub-national levels, to overcome the existing challenges in resilience assessment in disaster management.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
