Résumé
Land use transit circulation and connectivity networks underpin socioeconomic development by enabling the movement of goods, services and people as well as providing alternative modes of travel and movement. However, despite their frequency, little is known about how land use transit circulation and connectivity influence economic vulnerability to disaster management in low-income neighbourhoods of Eldoret urban areas. The paper collected an innovative dual-condition transit feed specification dataset, and combine it with a travel survey and high-resolution economic vulnerability to disaster management maps to examine how land use transit circulation and connectivity influence economic vulnerability to disaster management and impacts residents income, saving and consumption, residents employment opportunities, credit facilities/loans to residents, residents investment and trade and the provision of urban services and green infrastructure disrupting transport services, job accessibility, and the associated economic opportunity loss from travel delays. The results show increase in economic vulnerability level with largely focusing on inward-flows only during the process and that land use transit circulation and connectivity disruptions cause increases of economic vulnerability to disaster management in public transit headways, transit rerouting, decreases in travel speeds, which translate into travel delays and loss of job accessibility. This induces substantial economic costs to local commuters and hinders the establishment of an integrated urban-wide economic resilience.
