Abstract :
With the passage of four generations of theoretical and experimental development of the smart city, it was expected that by relying on technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the like, this theory would be the way to face the problem and solve the complexities of resilience planning. But countless recent researches show the opposite. The root of the problem is not in the application of technology, but in the theoretical integration of smart city management and urban resilience. In the meantime, the resilience approach is a new perspective that instead of focusing on reducing vulnerability and looking at confrontation, emphasizes increasing the resilience and flexibility of cities against natural and human hazards. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the feasibility of smart urban management to improve the resilience of Urmia city. To achieve this goal, a descriptive-analytical research method was used based on the analysis of a questionnaire completed by 30 urban experts and specialists. The results of the statistical analysis show that Urmia city is relatively favorable in terms of social and infrastructural resilience, but it does not have a favorable situation in terms of institutional-management, economic and physical-environmental resilience. In general, the overall resilience of Urmia city is lower than the optimal level according to experts, so that the calculated value of the overall resilience of Urmia city is 2.90, which is lower than the average level (3).
