RESISTE : Building a framework for resilience to natural disasters in Chile
(2025) In Master Thesis Series in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science MESM02 20251LUCSUS (Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Chile’s exposure to multiple natural hazards and its fragmented resilience governance highlight the urgent need for a standardised measurement tool. This thesis adapts an Australian framework to develop the Resiliencia Sistémica, Integral, Social y Territorial para Emergencias (RESISTE), a top-down, indicator-based framework rooted in socio-ecological system thinking and tailored to Chile’s context. Through a systematic review of Chilean resilience research and public databases, 53 of ANDRI’s original indicators were included based on conceptual matching and database availability. While most indicators are data-supported, inconsistencies in resolution and readiness limit immediate implementation. However, recent literature supports using... (More)
- Chile’s exposure to multiple natural hazards and its fragmented resilience governance highlight the urgent need for a standardised measurement tool. This thesis adapts an Australian framework to develop the Resiliencia Sistémica, Integral, Social y Territorial para Emergencias (RESISTE), a top-down, indicator-based framework rooted in socio-ecological system thinking and tailored to Chile’s context. Through a systematic review of Chilean resilience research and public databases, 53 of ANDRI’s original indicators were included based on conceptual matching and database availability. While most indicators are data-supported, inconsistencies in resolution and readiness limit immediate implementation. However, recent literature supports using imperfect data for urgent matters. RESISTE reveals critical gaps in how resilience is operationalised between Global North and South contexts, particularly concerning governance, inequality, and informality. The framework, although open for future enhancements, already provides a scalable tool for targeting policy, improving co herence among public institutions, towards a resilient Chile. (Less)
