Abstract :
The purpose of present article was to evaluate the physical- environmental dimensions of internal transportation network resilience and its relevance with sustainable environmental development in Tehran district one. The present research is functional in purpose and survey analytic in data collection form. The sample group are 100 expert and specialists of internal transportation management field of Tehran district one in purposeful sampling method, and 400 citizens living in ten regions of Tehran municipality district one during 2019 who were selected in stratified-ratio method through Cochran formula and participated in the study. The data collection process was done in library method through researcher made questionnaire. The factor analysis technique was used to define resilience dimensions, one sample t-test was utilized to determine the existing status and Friedman test was applied for ranking the dimensions. The obtained results revealed the dimensions of internal transportation network resilience in relevance with sustainable environmental development consisting of environmental sustainability, infrastructures and strengthening, urban texture, accessibility and regional lands usage. In addition, the results of one sample t-test demonstrated an average or low status of physical- environmental resilience of internal transportation network and its dimensions in the field of study in relation with sustainable environmental development. According to the received evidences of evaluating the existing status, through proper and efficient planning process, it would be possible to eliminate existing weaknesses of physical- environmental factors and increase its relevance with sustainable environmental development.
