The Impact of Smart Technology to Improve Urban Resilience for Disaster Risk Reduction
Political change is considered as one of the Disaster Risk issues challenging contemporary cities especially in unstable country like Iraq. This study focuses on the Smart and Resilient City concepts that, according to current scientific literature, seem to play a leading role in enhancing cities capacities to cope with fast, unpredictable and temporal political changes. Urban resilience in this section is presented as: A dynamic Functional quality of urban space which has the capacity to reduce disaster risk. Nevertheless, current initiatives to improve Iraqi cities’ smartness and resilience are still at an early stage. To fill this gap, our research will investigate how smart technology can improve resilient space for Disaster Risk Reduction. We will chose Liberation Square as a case study. Liberation Square is Baghdad’s biggest and most central square located in the Al-Rusafa part of the city on the eastern banks of the River Tigris, it was reported as being the epicenter of the unrest of the October 2019 Iraqi protests. In order to capture this aim, four basic concepts have been identified and framed into a conceptual structure, then we used self-assessment practical tools to test hypothesis. Results explained that smart technology works as helping process to reduce disaster risk by: 1 - Fast response, recover and adaptability, 2 - Help people to be more positive and active, 3 - Enhance activity-space tolerance, 4 - Maximizing functional quality of urban space. The latter represents a guideline for urban designer to create spaces which respond, recover, and adapt quickly to such disturbances.
