Abstract
This study aims to develop an approach for integrating stakeholder values into a threshold
matrix for resilience assessment of urban road transportation systems. It focuses on capturing
how road users define “minimum acceptable performance” under varying flood hazard
intensities and translating these values into resilience assessment tools that are both technically
robust and socially legitimate. The research is validated through a case study in Tambaram,
Chennai, a flood prone locality that highlights the urgency of stakeholder centered resilience
planning. Beyond constructing the threshold matrix, the study proposes an approach to guide
the integration process, documents complexities encountered in stakeholder engagement, and
outlines mitigation strategies to address these challenges. The resulting approach is designed
to be replicable and adaptable across different hazard contexts, ensuring that resilience
assessments align technical performance with stakeholder expectations.
