Abstract :
Abstract Resiliency for earthquake event is an important key concept in disaster management. During recent decades urban arising growth especially in developing countries cause that these cities have been more vulnerable against natural and technological hazards. Therefore community resiliency in metropolitans is more important. Based on, this research seeks to evaluation and assessment of physical, environmental, socioeconomic insituation management resiliency in Farahzad neighborhood. A descriptive analytical method and Delphi panel conducted. In order to vulnerability evaluation of central part pertains to physical vulnerability use fourteen expert opinions with AHP approach. Results shows Farahzad physical vulnerability is high; as about 53% of constructions are located in high vulnerability level and 10% in very high vulnerability. Questionnaire analysis shows the low level of resiliency in Farahzad neighborhood. Results of regression reveal socioeconomic, insituation management and environmental indexes affected on resiliency. The results of the research show that in order to increase the resilience in Farahzad neighborhood, priority should be given to promoting physical indices.
