        Shopping spaces in Tabriz have experienced various construction patterns over time, from the bazaar to the commercial street and in the last two decades, malls. Considering the importance of the position of citizens as consumers of commercial spaces in determining the path of development strategies of shopping spaces, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the preferences of citizens regarding the construction patterns of urban shopping spaces. The current research was conducted with field method and case study type in 1401 in the statistical population of Tabriz citizens. Sampling was done randomly and according to the diversity of demographic characteristics, including age and gender. The sample size was obtained by Cochran's formula of 385 people. First, by conducting field studies, Tabriz shopping centers were classified based on eight identified construction patterns. Then, among them, 15 prominent shopping spaces in terms of historical record, functional scale, size and attraction of local residents and tourists in ten areas of the city were selected as case studies. The collected data through the questionnaire tool were analyzed with SPSS software and Friedman's test. The findings of the research show that the five shopping spaces of Valiasr, Lale-Park, Atlas, Tarbiat and Shariati (Shahnaz) have higher priority according to the respondents. People's interest and preference is more towards shopping spaces with the construction pattern of commercial pedestrian street, mall and commercial street. The construction patterns of Shopping Plaza, Underground Development and Market Bridge have not been able to get a good rating. According to the results, it can be said that the the construction pattern of "Pedestrian Street" is highly acceptable due to its integration with the urban context and the possibility of establishing social interactions and combining shopping and recreation. On the other hand, the construction pattern of "Mal" has been accepted by the people because it has been able to fill the void of social spaces to a certain extent and provide various uses to the user in the form of a package. The construction pattern of "Commercial Street" has always been preferred by the people due to the ease of access. Based on the results of people's preferred construction patterns and with a comprehensive look at the advantages and disadvantages of emerging shopping spaces, it can be said, Using the construction pattern of mall independently and isolated from the urban context in a way that has been the focus of urban management in the last two decades; Copying of international examples is considered without any connection with the existing context. In order for today's shopping spaces to be able to properly fulfill their role as an urban space, it is necessary to maintain their connections with original shopping spaces. On the other hand, the pedestrian street and commercial street construction patterns have a high potential to be combined with the mall construction pattern. Therefore, mandating the private sector on the part of the urban management to build shopping spaces in connection with the surrounding urban context through the construction patterns of pedestrian street and commercial street, can repair the gap created in the experience of shopping in the city.

        Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and tornadoes have always existed and will continue to exist throughout the life of the planet, but the noteworthy point is that the effects of these natural disasters do not disappear completely and their effects can only be balanced. Urban tissues and man-made elements of urban spaces are worn out and destroyed over time, and for this reason, keeping urban bodies stable requires interventions to improve and improve the existing situation, and this shows the necessity of physical interventions in the tissue. Uneven urban spaces are a reflection of the social and economic inequalities of their residents, although natural disasters and events threaten most cities, but the poor who live in informal settlements and dilapidated structures face greater human and financial losses when natural disasters occur. be. The main goal of this research is to evaluate the institutional dimension of urban resilience in dealing with earthquakes, focusing on the city of Bandar Abbas. The present research method was a descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population included all the expert employees of the Crisis Management Organization of Bandar Abbas Governorate and other agents of the Crisis Headquarters, which was determined by using the Cochran sample size formula to determine the number of 35 people as the sample size. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the theoretical framework of the research. The reliability of the tool was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test above 0.65. According to the research results, the level of institutional resilience has not been at an acceptable level.Natural hazards have been with humans since the beginning of time, and humans have always sought a way to deal with them. Disasters are events that occur unexpectedly and sometimes inevitably, and due to the spread over material and human resources and interruption of the natural process of life, they are beyond the capacity of societies to adapt. The effects and consequences of a natural disaster, regardless of its type, can remain for a long time after the incident (Fali, 2014). On the other hand, population growth, increase in urban population and population density in a specific area have doubled the risk of these accidents. The lack of preparation for such incidents increases the losses and sometimes causes huge disasters (Noorian and Esfandi, 2014: 56). At the beginning of the 20th century, crisis management initially only had the ability to respond and react immediately after the incident and the occurrence of the crisis (Davis, 2011). After the inefficiency of this system showed itself in many situations, the attention of urban planners and managers was drawn to its resilience and increase (Coppola, 2007). Resilience has been discussed since the 1970s, which was first about ecological systems in the sense that resilience determines the continuity of relationships and links within a system and is a measure of the system's ability to absorb changes in parameters and stable variables. And moving and maintaining survival. Manuscript profile
