Abstract
In Hawaiʻi, as climate change intensifies and induces more disasters, a greater demand for understanding and strengthening community resilience is necessary. In recent years, resilience hubs have been introduced across the United States to support community resilience efforts against climate change. The Asset-Based Community Development approach was utilized to compare the role of different community assets, i.e., physical, human, and social assets, in promoting community resilience and resilience hub development between urban and rural communities. Four community resilience elements were used for analysis: Community Networks and Relationships, Teamwork and Leadership, Information and Communications, and Training and Education. Different site factors for resilience hub development between urban and rural communities were also analyzed. Two-way analysis of variance tests and post hoc Tukey HSD tests were performed to compare the quantitative and qualitative data from roughly 300 online survey responses between two study areas, the Primary Urban Center and Koʻolauloa, in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Overall, rural residents ranked their physical, human, and social assets significantly higher than urban residents in promoting community resilience. Resilience hub development between urban and rural residents can differ based on the availability, weight, and utilization of community assets. Lastly, urban and rural residents shared similar perspectives on resilience hub site selection for several factors: trust and acceptance, ease of access, programmatic offerings, service to groups, and community-based facility preferences. However, urban residents emphasized more on transportation accessibility compared to rural residents.
