Abstract
Relocation resilience depends on more than technical flood-risk reduction; it also requires community trust, spatial integration, and governance capacity. Pre-disaster relocation research provides a behavioral model of how households may respond to flood hazards, while polycentric and sub-center studies explain the metropolitan opportunity landscape in which relocation occurs. Urban morphology research adds local-scale spatial structure, showing how block size and street integration shape accessibility. Decentralized Web3 community studies provide a governance lens for understanding how social capital, community participation, and conflict management emerge in distributed systems. These insights are relevant to flood adaptation because relocation programs can disrupt local networks and require sustained coordination among residents and institutions. This literature cluster emphasizes that resilient relocation should integrate spatial form, urban opportunity, community governance, and long-term social cohesion.
