Abstract

Natural disasters are amongst main parts of our life and they have been regarded and will be regarded as a permanent thereat to development, in other words human daily life cannot be assumed without natural disasters. It should be taken into consideration that it is impossible to preclude these disasters but to prepare for a good reaction for these disasters can be a good solution to decrease post damages casualties to the cities. Herein, Crisis Management Supportive Bases in terms of prevention, preparation and dealing with the crisis play a key role especially in Tehran and in time of natural disasters. There is no doubt that high level and efficient function of these bases has a striking correlation with the way they are located in both urban and regional level in a way that in addition to providing security of the bases especially versus disasters, they could be, based on the service area, able to provide the areas of crisis with good services. This paper tries to use multi criteria analysis techniques (MCDM) and spatial analysis (GIS) method in order to assess the effectiveness of these supportive bases. Based on assuagements crisis management supportive bases have spontaneously distributed in 18 district and have located in inappropriate places. Their location was chosen without looking after for their own specific needs.
