Abstract :
Today following urbanization and rise in natural disasters, review and assess the resilience of human and natural systems in achieving sustainable development is of particular importance. The aim of this study was to measure the resiliency of Babylon is to reduce the risk of natural hazards. The method used in cross sectional descriptive study the library method for data collection and survey questionnaire was used. The statistical community, including experts and officials of the municipal administration and local government in the city of Babol is 26 subjects with random sampling were selected. In order to assess the resilience of urban areas studied in the range of ten principles Campaign Making cities resilient in most of the 39 variables were used. To analyze the data from tests of T unilateral and total weight, the mean scores and their relative weights are used. According to the results of research findings, local managers Evaluated Resiliency city of Babol in the ten principles of the study with average 2.52 (less than 3) completely undesirable. In this regard, the fifth principle of the weighted average of the three highest rating in the resilience of Babol.
