Abstract :
Today achievement to the conditions, being adaptable to getting pre-crisis situation quickly after the crisis, is very important for the societies. Hence, resilience is preferred rather than vulnerability recently. Since, strategically border region, Kermanshah requires more consideration in the urban resilience. Hence, Present study considers the components of the urban resilience in Kermanshah. Using the “Documentary-Survey” method, significant and effective components have evaluated and investigated. Viewpoints of 42 experts of this field have been used for collecting the research data. The statistical one sample-T test and the Friedman test have been used for the data analytics. Results show that Physical-managerial factor based on the experts' opinion has a maximum effect on the urban resilience, as it has the lowest amount of the difference from the mean value. The Wilcoxon test has been used to examine the areas and the results have been analyzed as maps in the GIS. In the end, we have made some suggestions that require the attention of managers and urban planners to make it possible to organize the challenges of the urban resilience of the metropolis of Kermanshah.
