Abstract :

Urban resilience can be defined as the ability of systems to adapt to changes without collapsing during disasters. Due to the dynamic nature of society's response to risks, resilience is a type of foresight and helps to expand political choices to face uncertainty and change. Nowadays, the resilience of metropolises has become one of the great global challenges in the 21st century; Therefore, the need to pay attention to the resilience of metropolises has opened its place in the scientific literature of the country in recent decades, and many efforts have been made in the field of research in the form of dissertations, theses, research articles and conferences. This article has been made with the aim of meta-methodological pathology of resilience research in the scale of Iranian metropolises. In terms of the purpose, this research is developmental and of the content analysis type, and based on the method, it is one of the qualitative researches. From the point of view of the data collection method, it is among documentary researches. The statistical community of the research is the internal research conducted in the field of resilience of the country's metropolises, whose reports are indexed in the country's publications database (Magiran) or the scientific information database of academic jihad (SID). Using the purposeful sampling method, 84 related studies were selected and studied. The findings from the meta-methodology of the conducted researches showed that 96% of the researches had a purpose that was done mostly in line with the description of basic statistics, 60% of them relied only on questions and on the other hand, 77% of the researches lacked a hypothesis. Alone is considered a major weakness. Achieving such results indicates that the researcher's plan does not follow the philosophical foundations and research approaches, which must be taken into account in future researches with high accuracy.
