Abstract
Critical infrastructures share the same space and mutual dependencies, and
consequently contribute to city’s overall resilience. However, each has different
assessment methods and metrics, which prevents the integration of the performance
results for different infrastructures into a single holistic evaluation index that can reflect the
city’s overall resilience and expected performance. To address this challenge, we propose
the development of a multi-criteria-based integration approach that can allow the
combination of different evaluation results from different assessment methods through
partial factors. The proposed equation incorporates several factors, which can be divided
into four groups: (1) method-efficiency factors, (2) infrastructure importance factors,
(3) infrastructures’ interdependency factors, and (4) strict limits that ensure that the
infrastructures are suitable for hosting mega sports events. Using this approach, we hope
to open the way for future research into suitable factors and facilitate resilience-based
design in sustainable development and municipal planning.
