  The Urban River Valleys are not only the interface between the city and nature, but they are also essential spatial places that carry urban context, local life, and other environmental characteristics. As a result, the design of urban river Valleys is one of the most important strategies for promoting urban ecological systems, protecting socio-economic benefits, and increasing aesthetic values. This paper proposes the resilience concept to address the problem of natural hazards at the River Valleys while maintaining the environment's qualities. For this purpose, the focus is on applying the physical dimension of resiliency for presenting design qualities and indicators by studying the expected roles and qualities of urban rivers and the concept of resiliency. So at first, the Resilient Urban River Valleys Conceptual Framework has been codified, and dimensions, Components, and criteria of resilient River Valley design are proposed. In the next step, This Conceptual Framework is used to examine the quality of Tehran's Kan River Valley s Public Space using a SWOT matrix and develop design goals and strategies. Finally, this study stands on the notion that a place's resilience not only embraces formulating an immediate response to crises such as floods but also considers long-term mitigation and adaptation strategies and environmental qualities to face environmental challenges. In this perspective, reconnecting the community with the river through creating a favorable public space and using the natural potential of the rivers to confront the hazards is necessary.

  In recent years, the unprecedented growth of population and the enormous damage caused by natural and human hazards to the physical and urban environment has made resilience an important topic in natural hazard studies. In the present study, evaluation of resilience of Sari city with emphasis on physical dimension by using Reverse Hierarchical Analysis (IHWP) model using eleven physical indicators such as road width, access to green and open spaces, access to multipurpose spaces, distance from worn-out tissue, and so on. The statistical sample of the study was 48 experts in urban planning and crisis management in the form of Delphi questionnaire. The outputs of the questionnaire modeled in GIS software and the final physical resiliency map of Sari produced. The results show that 50% of city area has low and very low resiliency, 19% moderate and 31% high and very high; and resiliency increased from west to east, and the northwest and northeast parts of the city are less resilient. Finally, some suggestions made to improve resilience. Manuscript profile
