Abstract :

Measuring and evaluating resilience against earthquake is one of the main
theoretical and practical concepts in crisis management. During the last few decades, rapid peace of urbanization and development of poor urban area(particularly in developing countries) have led to increased vulnerability of them against crisis oriented from human and natural factors. Thus, nowadays, a special emphasis is put on resilience rather than vulnerability.
The aim of this study is to extract the most effective components and prioritize them in resilience with a social approach to earthquake response was done in the prevention phase in the 3rd municipal district of Shiraz city. In this study, a sample size was estimated to be 383 heads of households of this district.
The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that included
questions about socioeconomic characteristics of households and questions
assessing dimensions and components of resilience. Data were analysed
using multiple linear regression, t- test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation
coefficient. The results of the evaluation in the quantitative section of the
research shows that in the social resilience, respectively, the highest average(3.99) was related to the components of social capital .
Overall,the social resilience dimension has been reported at a desirable level. The results of the multiple linear regression model showed that Marital status, amount of monthly income, amount of income spent on necessities, quality and life of the building and number of earthquake experiences have a significant relationship with social resilience. As the results show, for each unit of increase in the variable number of earthquake experiences, the rate of social resilience increases by 0.18.
