Area of Science:

  • Disaster studies
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Social resilience is crucial for disaster coping and recovery.
  • Traditional social resilience indicators are often based on natural hazard contexts.
  • Pandemics present unique challenges due to physical distancing and social restrictions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the applicability of common disaster-related social resilience indicators in pandemic crises.
  • To propose new, pandemic-tailored social resilience indicators.
  • To assess social resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland.

Main Methods:

  • Review of frequently used social resilience measures in disaster literature.
  • Development of pandemic-specific social resilience indicators.
  • Survey of 1,500 residents in Switzerland during the COVID-19 crisis (summer 2020).

Main Results:

  • Traditional indicators like social cohesion and support may not fully capture pandemic resilience.
  • Proposed pandemic-tailored indicators offer a more meaningful assessment.
  • Survey results indicated low social support and community engagement but high willingness to help.

Conclusions:

  • Pandemic crises necessitate adapted social resilience indicators.
  • Willingness to help is a key component of social resilience in pandemics.
  • Findings provide insights for enhancing societal preparedness and response to future pandemics.
