Abstract
People commonly perceive the Yangtze and Yellow River basins as important water systems in China and rich in cultural and ecological values. However, they are also frequently threatened by floods, earthquakes, and other disasters. The traditional top-down disaster management model has always neglected the public's needs, making it difficult to enhance community resilience effectively. To improve such a situation, this study combines the analysis of public opinion in social media to identify the public's demand for “cultural construction” and “community participation” in disaster response. Moreover, it also proposes a resilience assessment framework centered on cultural embeddedness, which embodies the concept of “people-centered” governance. More precisely, the framework covering disaster response is constructed based on provincial panel data. According to the data, a three-stage network DEA model covering the entire process of pre-disaster, disaster, and post-disaster is constructed to quantify the level of Community resilience. So that the indicator system is dynamically modified to enhance the adaptability of the national situation. Finally, through empirical research, the results show that cultural factors contribute significantly to the resilience of post-disaster recovery, indicating that cultural inputs and community identity play a key role in disaster governance. To sum up, the study provides theoretical support and practical paths for disaster management in watersheds. Moreover, it emphasizes the significance of multiple synergistic mechanisms in enhancing regional sustainable development and social resilience.
