Cross-sectional survey reveals a strong correlation between disaster risk governance and urban resilience in metropolitan municipalities, indicating the importance of social adaptive capacity.
To investigate the relationship between urban resilience and disaster risk governance in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA), Mexico, a theoretical model was developed and validated. The study examined how governance processes, social cohesion, and institutional capabilities support resilience to risks and long-term stress. Structural Equation Modeling, a quantitative method, was used to analyze data collected from 370 individuals via a stratified sampling technique. The findings support the validity of MODEL_UR and show a strong correlation between disaster risk governance and urban resilience across the MMA municipalities. The work makes a theoretical contribution by introducing the concept of socio-motivated resilience, which integrates social norms, risk perception, and adaptive capacities to explain resilience processes in urban settings.
