Abstract
This paper firstly outlines “resilience engineering” derived from two different fields,safety engineering and earthquake engineering,and provides a meta-definition of resilience that comprehends various aspects and arguments around resilience engineering in a consistent way.Then,this paper introduces a human-centric modeling framework of urban sociotechnical systems that provides a new and easy-to-use categorization of multiple and complicated interdependencies underlying urban cities,followed by an introduction to a simulation study for the evaluation of disaster resilience of cities considering civil life,industry activities,critical infrastructures,and the multiple interdependencies among them.
