Abstract: Abstract No society is immune from disasters. Yet, resilient communities that have access to the needed information, as well as physical, economic, social, and human capitals, tend to prepare, respond, and recover from disasters better than other communities. Recently, a people-oriented approach of community resilience inducing a collaboration of various stakeholders has been advocated instead of the command and control approach widely adopted by governments. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of research on the role of the different stakeholders in promoting the different capitals of community resilience. Hence, this paper seeks to investigate the extent to which the different stakeholders are involved in community resilience. By distributing a questionnaire on 273 of the inhabitants of a newly-established, urban sub-district for repopulating vulnerable people in Cairo, the paper offers deep insight into the roles of the government, private sector, and NGOs in promoting community resilience and illuminates how each stakeholder prioritizes different capitals.
