Description du projet
Des innovations pour les communautés résilientes en Europe
Les communautés résilientes s’adaptent et surmontent des chocs et des contraintes d’une manière qui réduit la vulnérabilité chronique et facilite la croissance. L’Union européenne (UE) travaille vers la mise au point d’une approche solide et valide au renforcement de la résilience. Le projet RESILOC, financé par l’UE, vise à étudier et à mettre en œuvre un cadre global de méthodes et d’instruments logiciels nécessaires pour l’évaluation des indicateurs de résilience au sein d’une communauté. Les études permettront la conception et l’application du logiciel destiné à recueillir des informations issues de ces communautés. Un plan de communication très médiatisé, fondé principalement sur les plateformes des réseaux sociaux, est également en cours de préparation.
Objectif
Resilience is defined by the United Nations as “the ability to resist, absorb and accommodate to the effects of a hazard, in a timely and efficient manner”. Thus, resilient communities are those in which their citizens, environment, businesses, and infrastructures have the capacity to withstand, adapt, and recover in a timely manner from any kind of hazards they face, either planned or unplanned. In recent years efforts have been spent to tackle resilience and there is, still, a long path forward in defining an EU valid and sound approach to the problem.
RESILOC aims at studying and implementing a holistic framework of studies, methods and software instruments that combines the physical with the less tangible aspects associated with human behaviour.
The study-oriented section of the framework will move from a thorough collection and analysis of literature and stories from the many approaches to resilience adopted all over the World. The results of the studies will lead to the definition of a set of new methods and strategies where the assessment of the resilience indicators of a community will be performed together with simulations on the “what-if” certain measures are taken. These studies and methods will serve for designing and implementing two software instruments:
1. the RESILOC inventory, a comprehensive, live, structure for collecting, classifying and using information on cities and local communities, implemented as a Software as a Service (SaaS).
2. The RESILOC Cloud-based platform for assessing and calculating the resilience indicators of a city or a community, for developing localised strategies and verifying their impacts on the resilience of the community. The Cloud platform, a combination of SaaS and PaaS, includes the inventory as its repository.
The project will make use of built solutions in four field trials and includes a high-profile communication plan, heavily based on Social Media platforms.
