The construction of a safe and resilient city is a crucial measure to ensure urban safety. It is of great significance for enhancing a city's ability to respond to sudden risk impacts, creating a high-quality livable environment, and improving the quality of life. Traditional disaster prevention planning focuses on the construction of engineering defense facilities, which struggles to address the uncertain risks brought by climate change. Taking Haikou City as the research object, this study, combined with the theoretical framework of "safety resilience", puts forward ideas for building Haikou into a resilient city from three dimensions — social, spatial, and temporal — and formulates a multi-stakeholder collaborative governance mechanism involving the government and society. This research aims to provide innovative methods and new ideas for constructing disaster prevention systems in tropical coastal cities.
