Focusing on Resilience-Based Design (RBD), this book explores advanced methodologies for assessing resilience while distinguishing it from vulnerability and sustainability. It begins by addressing various uncertainties in resilience evaluation and includes a chapter on recovery functions. Building on MCEER's definition of resilience, it introduces the seven dimensions of Community Resilience, encapsulated in the acronym PEOPLES, covering aspects such as demographics, environmental factors, government services, infrastructure, community competence, economic development, and socio-cultural capital, along with relevant indices.
