Reflections on Social Equity and Justice from the Perspective of Resilient Community Governance

Siyi Zhou

Abstract


As the last governance level of the country, the community bears the risk of various disasters and its own vulnerability under the complex “artifi cial creation” of the city. By sorting out the relationship between resilient communities and vulnerability, this paper finds that in the process of improving community resilience, we should pay attention to those individuals and families with the highest degree of vulnerability. Therefore, through the democratization of decision-making to promote the fairness of grass-roots emergency management, the formation of procedural justice with the meritocracy system and the drawing of advanced experience from diff erent places, we can actually promote the implementation of the fair path of resilient community emergency response system.
