Abstract: The essence of community resilience lies in the effective interaction among actors, governance tools, and situations,manifesting in diverse forms such as personal safety,smooth transition, and technical practicality.The shaping of community resilience in mega-cities follows multiple logics,namely risk acceptance, structural adjustment,and technology compensation.Specifically,the logic of risk acceptance offers actors a fresh perspective on risk perception,emphasizing that,on the premise of situational self-awareness,actors should rationally view the uncertainty of risk.Structural adjustment is an action logic that drives actors to adjust their actor network so that the organizational structure achieves horizontal flexibility and effective vertical reach,thereby adapting to situational changes and matching appropriate governance tools;it is also the key to shaping community resilience in mega-cities.Technology compensation,as the operational logic of shaping community resilience in mega-cities,reveals the future trends and inherent requirements of tool innovation and digital-intelligence empowerment under the overarching requirement of urban governance modernization.The triple logics have their inherent driving force for action,yet each has its own limitations.The triple shaping logics reveal the essential requirement for improving the community resilience of megacities through the combined effects of socio-psychological identity,improved institutional frameworks,and innovative production tools.

Key words: megacity, community, community resilience, risk acceptance, structural adjustment, technology compensation, urban governance, community governance, technical governance
