Abstract :

Because of intensity and short time of effectiveness on human communities, natural events and risks have turned into one of the primary concerns of urban planners and managers in past few years. Therefore, resilience as a proper approach for reduction of risks of crises and risks was adopted in the present study. The primary objective of this survey is measurement of resilience from institutional-organizational aspects so as to determine the capability to address natural events in Sanandaj City. In this regard, the statistical population of present study includes those families who live in three neighborhoods of Sanandaj City.Drawing on results of consensus in 2011, interviews with relevant authorities, and distribution of questionnaire, 383 families were chosen through Cochran’s formula. In order to analyze the collected data, quantitative-survey methods were used. The analysis of collected data was done through SPSS Software and analytic network process (ANP) was done through Super Decisions Software which contributes to determination of significance of each item. The results of present study suggest that there is a significant association between resilience of sampled neighborhoods and their resilience from institutional-organizational and physical-environmental aspects. As a result, change of each aspect contributes to variation of resilience of families
