The present study aimed to assess the resilience of Kabul City, Afghanistan, towards flood hazards, using the AHP numerical module. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, including secondary data, a questionnaire survey, AHP analysis and GIS. The findings revealed limited community awareness (55.7% of the respondents were aware of the hazard while only 31.3% were well-informed) and participation in flood preparedness in the city. While the city demonstrated high levels of social (global weight score of 0.28) and physical (global weight score of 0.21) resilience, it exhibited lower levels of institutional (global weight score of 0.16), human (global weight score of 0.13), economic (global weight score of 0.12), and technical (global weight score of 0.10) resilience. The study underscores the importance of local institutions, urban planning, community participation, and early warning systems in enhancing resilience. However, there are several key limitations, such as data availability, a shortage of skilled personnel, policy constraints, and the absence of a city-level flood management policy. Consequently, the study recommends the development of city-level flood hazard management and resilience policies to mitigate the impacts in Kabul City.

用于评估喀布尔市洪水灾害恢复能力的综合 AHP 数值模块


本研究旨在使用层次分析法数值模块评估阿富汗喀布尔市应对洪水灾害的恢复能力。该研究采用了混合方法，包括二手数据、问卷调查、层次分析法和地理信息系统。调查结果显示，该市的社区意识有限（55.7% 的受访者意识到这一危险，而只有 31.3% 的受访者消息灵通）和参与防洪。虽然该城市表现出高水平的社会（全球权重得分为 0.28）和物理（全球权重得分为 0.21）复原力，但它在制度（全球权重得分为 0.16）、人力（全球权重得分为 0.13）、经济（全局权重得分为 0.12）和技术（全局权重得分为 0.10）弹性。该研究强调了地方机构、城市规划、社区参与和预警系统在增强抵御能力方面的重要性。然而，存在一些关键限制，例如数据可用性、技术人员短缺、政策限制以及缺乏城市级洪水管理政策。因此，该研究建议制定城市级洪水灾害管理和抵御能力政策，以减轻喀布尔市的影响。
