Evaluating community flood resilience: An innovative social capital oriented framework

This study employs a modified preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) to critically review and synthesize research gaps, before presenting an innovative social capital oriented framework to evaluateCFR. While infrastructure, economic, environmental, human, and governance dimensions play significant roles, the proposed framework emphasizes the foundational role of social capital and sociocultural factors, including norms, values, and identities, in shaping resilience outcomes and actions.

To address some of the weaknesses identified in the review of CFR frameworks, our framework adopts a participatory approach that actively engages diverse stakeholders in its development. Unlike previous frameworks, this approach advocates for the early involvement of communities and stakeholders, andthe continuation of this engagement throughout the process, thereby enhancing the framework's relevance and applicability
