Spatial resilience’ discourse can be used to guide the development of a conceptual framework for resilient place assessment. In this regard, a resilient place should feature a combination of physical and non-physical characteristics that can contribute to improved response and adaptation to a broad range of natural and manmade hazards. In this context, resilience is claimed to be the ability to adapt to varied risks and changes that threaten the quality of the functionality, liability, and vitality of a place. To further elaborate on the concept of resilient place, in a study, urban resilience literature were reviewed and conceptual framework for Resilient Place Assessment (RPA) was introduced. The conceptual framework of place assessment was developed concerning the constituent attributes of ‘place’ and ‘spatial resilience.’ In the proposed framework, the constructive dimensions of Resilient Place Assessment (RPA) include four dimensions, three of which are semantic resilience dimensions. Insights provided in this conceptual framework can be used by urban planners, designers, and policy makers in their efforts towards creating more resilient places.
