Natural disasters and human-made disasters are threatening urban areas globally. The resilience capacity of the urban system plays an important role in disaster risk response and recovery. Strengthening urban disaster resilience is also fundamental to ensuring sustainable development. Various practices and research for enhancing urban disaster resilience have been carried out worldwide but are yet to be reviewed. Accordingly, this paper gives a scientometric review of urban disaster resilience research by using CiteSpace. The time span (January 2001–January 2021) was selected and divided into three phases based on the number of publications. In addition, according to keyword statistics and clustering results, the collected articles are grouped into four hotspot topics: disaster risk reduction, specific disaster resilience research, resilience assessment, and combination research. The results show that most of the existing research is in the first two categories, and articles in the second and fourth categories both show a high growth rate and could be further research directions. The review indicates that urban disaster resilience is essential for a city’s sustainable development. Moreover, the findings provide scholars a full picture of the existing urban disaster resilience research which can help them identify promising research directions. The findings can also help urban government officials and policymakers review current urban disaster management strategies and make further improvements.

Risk events frequently occur in “complex urban public spaces” (CUPSs) and cause serious economic losses and casualties. To reduce the risks and enhance the system resilience, this paper formulates a theoretical framework to assess the resilience of CUPSs. Resilience is defined as the ratio of preparedness to vulnerability, according to the implication of the concept. Three-level practical indicator systems were established for these two dimensions, respectively. Furthermore, a hybrid approach combining the Analytic Network Process (ANP) and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) was adopted. The Chongqing West Railway Station (the Station (W)) and the Lianglukou Rail Transit Station (the Station (L)) were used for a case study. The results showed that the Chongqing West Railway Station was more resilient to risks than the Lianglukou Rail Transit Station. Therefore, the proposed theoretical framework could be applied in assessing the resilience level of CUPSs. Resilience improvement strategies can be formulated according to the assessment results. Furthermore, the practical indicators could also provide references for urban disaster management.

In response to the damage to electric power transmission systems caused by typhoon disasters in coastal areas, a planning-targeted resilience assessment framework that considers the impact of multiple factors is established to accurately find the weak links of the transmission system and improve the system resilience. Firstly, this paper constructs the attenuation model of the wind field and the comprehensive failure model of the system, in which the model drive to establish the cumulative failure model of the transmission system is adopted, and multiple data-driven schemes to correct the cumulative failure rate by relying on the feature factor information of the transmission system is adopted. At the same time, an analytic hierarchy process-weighted arithmetic averaging (AHP-WAA) method is introduced to select the optimal data-driven evaluation scheme. Secondly, this paper adopts the impact-increment-based state enumeration (IISE) method to establish resilience indicators for systems and corridors separately. On this basis, the optimal promotion strategy is selected according to the construction difficulty, resilience improvement ability, and cost analysis. Finally, simulations on the IEEE RTS-79 system have been carried out considering the influence of the real typhoon scenarios, micro-topographic and transmission corridor information factors. The results demonstrate that the hybrid-driven system resilience assessment and improvement method can assist planners in accurately judging the resilience level of the system against typhoon disasters and selecting the best resilience improvement strategy based on the cost-effectiveness ratio.

In furniture design, taking the female body as a form of modeling shows the expression of human desire. From the perspective of feminism, this paper analyzes the game of implicitly and explicitness of female body displayed in furniture design, and compares the form and expression content of the body modeling of different genders in contemporary furniture design, so as to analyze the difference of body expression content in furniture design. On this basis, it points out the creation characteristics and aesthetic experience of contemporary furniture design, and strives to apply the female image reasonably in furniture design.
