Abstract：In the context of megacities,which are spatial entities characterized by highly concentrated resources,disaster-causing factors exhibit complexity and non-linearity.Public health emergencies primarily rely on human transmission,and within the spatial scope of megacities,they can generate significant panic in society within a short period.Communities serve as the frontline in responding to public health emergencies,and strong resilience enables them to have robust resistance to these emergencies.Therefore,it focuses on community resilience in megacities under the background of public health emergencies,utilizes the Analytic Hierarchy Process(A HP)and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to assess the resilience of communities in Chengdu City,based on this assessment,infers how to enhance community resilience in megacity under such circumstances.The research findings indicate that four major resilience dimensions:institutional,organizational,infrastructural and social capital,have played a significant role in megacities'response to public health emergencies.However,there are still spaces for improvements in four aspects:the completeness of incentive mechanisms,the digitization of organizational structure,the emergency readiness of infrastructure and the availability of social capital.
