This thesis explores the critical role of communication strategies in enhancing urban resilience during crisis situations. By analyzing case studies from three major metropolitan areas, the study identifies key patterns in information dissemination, public engagement, and feedback loops. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from social media analysis with qualitative insights from stakeholder interviews.Findings suggest that transparent, multi-channel communication significantly reduces panic and accelerates post-crisis recovery. The study proposes a new framework for "Resilient Communication Infrastructure" that integrates traditional media with real-time digital platforms, ensuring equitable access to information across diverse urban demographics.
Urban resilience has become a paramount concern for city planners and policymakers in the 21st century. As cities densify and climate-related events become more frequent, the ability of urban systems to withstand and recover from shocks is critical. Communication serves as the nervous system of this response mechanism.
This research posits that communication is not merely a supportive function but a structural component of resilience. We define "Crisis Communication" in this context as the strategic exchange of information before, during, and after a disruptive event.
The study focuses on three primary variables: speed of information, accuracy of content, and public trust. Data was collected through:
Analysis of 50,000+ social media interactions during the 2022 flood events.
Semi-structured interviews with 15 city officials and emergency responders.
Public surveys conducted across 5 distinct neighborhoods (n=1200).
Communication Channel | Reach (%) | Trust Score (1-10) | Response Time |
Official App | 45% | 8.5 | < 5 mins |
Social Media | 82% | 6.2 | Instant |
Radio / TV | 60% | 9.1 | 15-30 mins |
