Disaster聽resilience听补苍诲聽recovery聽have been studied from a variety of perspectives including sociology, policy implementation, decision-making, engineering, geography and urban planning. For this reason, there is a wide range of definitions of聽resilience听补苍诲聽recovery, and determining appropriate聽indicators聽of聽recoveryand聽resilience聽is a challenge for both researchers and practitioners. We begin this paper with a discussion of the varying definitions of聽recovery, vulnerability and聽resilience听补苍诲 how they have been utilized in each field. In order to assess what聽indicators聽can be used to聽measure聽both聽resilience听补苍诲聽recovery, we performed an in-depth聽content聽analysis聽on definitions and聽indicators聽from existing literature. We聽analyzed聽articles from 2000 to 2010 in four disaster-focused journals that include perspectives of engineers, social scientists, practitioners and economists. Articles were selected by a keyword search and聽analyzed聽for聽resilience听补苍诲聽recovery聽indicators聽using an emergent coding scheme. We classified the聽indicators聽of聽community聽resilience聽into infrastructure, social, economic and institutional categories.聽Recovery聽indicators聽were categorized as social, economic, environmental and infrastructure. Researchers can use these results for future studies of causal factors and聽recovery聽indicators. Similarly, practitioners will be able to have a condensed opinion of experts in the field of disaster聽recoveryand planning.
