Abstract

Natural disasters have the potential to turn into catastrophic disasters in the absence of hazard reduction systems. Today, communities are trying to reach a pre-crisis situation as soon as possible following an emergency. Therefore, in recent years, more attention has been paid to the issue of resilience. In this study, we have tried to identify the indicators of the environmental physical component of urban resilience in dysfunctional contexts that can be used in urban resilience in order to make the study area more flexible to the forthcoming changes and crises. The present study is quantitative applied descriptive research which uses documentary and field data. Data analysis has been done using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in GIS 10.5 software environment. The criteria studied in the present study include distance from medical centers, tissue fineness, number of floors, material and age of materials, access to green and open spaces and population density. The results of the present studies indicate that among the factors studied, the fineness criterion, with an average of 0.338, has the highest degree of resilience in the study area and then the structural material criteria, has 0.221% effect on the resilience of the study area.
