        Introduction & Objective: Housing, as one of the basic needs of every human being, has always been one of the most important priorities of governments. In Iran, in recent years, in order to provide housing for the low-income groups, the government has adopted a policy of Mehrhousing and a national housing action plan. Regarding its geographical and geological condition, Iran is highly vulnerable to natural disasters among which earthquakes happen more frequently and are of more significance. On the other hand the rapid growth of urbanization along with other factors has sounded the alarm of an earthquake crisis. Studies have illustrated that crisis management planning is mostly performed during and after the crisis and less attention is paid to the pre-crisis conditions. Therefor it is necessary to study pre-crisis resilience in social housing. In this descriptive-analytical study, with the aim of evaluating the neighborhoods consisting of Mehrhousing in terms of physical resilience against earthquakes, all indicators have been identified and studied with the help of content analysis not only to identify their strengths and weaknesses, but also to provide a guidance for national housing action plans.  Method: in order to reach this study's goals information needed has been collected through documentary and field methods. The extracted criteria and indicators were prioritized and weighted by non-structural fuzzy decision support system and finally superimposed with the help of weighted criteria maps GIS to obtain a physical resilience map. Findings: The results show that neighborhoods consisting of Mehrsocialhousing have low physical resilience due to their physical components weakness; hence despite being new and pre-planned, they are more vulnerable. Conclusion: The results show that neighborhoods consisting of Mehrsocialhousing have low physical resilience due to weaknesses in their physical components and despite being new and planned, they are more vulnerable.                 Manuscript profile

        Today, urban resilience in the field of worn-out textures has become a major issue in the field of spatial and urban decision-making. Therefore, urban managers and policy makers have devoted a significant part of their resources and facilities in the field of document preparation and operational processes to the realization and reduction of its effectiveness in the face of possible urban crises. The aim of this study was to analyze the dimensions of social and physical resilience in District 7 of Tehran Municipality. The research method is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. One-sample t-test, Pearson correlation and regression coefficient in SPSS and Arc GIS software were used to analyze the data. The results of the data in the present study showed that the physical dimension is in the first rank (2.71) and the social dimension is in the second rank (2.53). In the end, it can be concluded that urban resilience in District 7 of Tehran Municipality is unstable and weak due to the dimensions of physical and social resilience. Therefore, this region has low physical and social resilience against natural disasters and hazards. Manuscript profile

        The damage and casualties caused by natural disasters will depend on the state of readiness of the event. Building resilient cities of various sizes is a suitable and effective way to strengthen the structure of the city to deal with crises and natural and unnatural disasters. This study in terms of purpose is applied and in terms of method is descriptive - analytical. In this study, data collection was based on library and documentary methods and for data analysis we used AHP Fuzzy model. Results showed that the measure of physical properties of texture with a weight of 0.424, and sub-criteria’s such as Street width with a weight of 0.238, building resistance with a weight of 0.120, access to the park with a weight of 0.102 are the most important criteria and sub-criteria in physical resilience of Tehran's 12th district. The final maps of regional physical resilience showed that only 1.03 percent of the area texture has high resiliency and 74.64% of the area has medium resilience and 24.33% of the area has low resilience. Also, the results showed that Tehran's 12th district buildings according to the age of buildings and their quality, the narrow access, the fine-grained segmentation, the increased occupancy levels, and the lack of open space that threaten the peoples’ lives in this area are in contrast with urban resilience. This issue warns us of more damage and casualties when an earthquake occurs. Manuscript profile

        .AbstractAn important part of resilience in urban systems is the concept of residual physical dimensions that systematically analyzes elements and physical structure. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the physical resilience of metropolitan areas of Karaj based on the electric model. The research method was descriptive-analytical. A part of the research data from the comprehensive and detailed design in the form of thirteen terms of the physical-spatial components were selected based on expert opinions and hierarchical techniques. The rest of the information was collected, evaluated and evaluated through library study, documentary and survey using questionnaire and interviewing tool. Data needed for research after extraction using SPSS software were ranked and analyzed by non-parametric statistical methods and electron microscopy. The results show that the total area of one, eight, seven and nine due to the relatively regular segmentation system and the standard width of the standard, the general quality of the existing structures is the most resilient to the physical and 11 and 12 regions and parts of the neighborhoods of Islamabad and Karaj Square due to the uneven distribution of open space and enclosure of public passages are the most desirable places in physical resonance.Keywords: Electric model, Environmental hazards, Resilience, Physical, Karaj metropolis Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Cities, as the most extensive man-made structures, have always been exposed to many natural and man-made disasters. Meanwhile, earthquakes have often inflicted irreparable losses on these settlements and their inhabitants and especially its worn-out textures, which is necessary to pay more attention to the concept of resilience to reduce the harmful effects of earthquakes.Research Aim: In this regard, the present study was conducted to evaluate the physical resilience indicators of worn-out textures against possible earthquakes.Methodology: The method of this research is mixed and includes two phases, qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative phase has been performed using the methodology of grounded theory and in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 24 experts. In the quantitative phase, one-sample t-test and Friedman test were used. Finally, in order to better understand the status of physical resilience indices, through field harvesting using GIS, maps related to physical resilience indices were presented.Studied Areas: The research area was Qaleh neighborhood in Dezful township, located in the north of Khuzestan province.Results: Data analysis was performed during three stages of open, axial and selective coding and led to the emergence of 97 open codes, 18 concepts in the form of 4 main categories. The results showed that physical resilience against earthquakes in Qaleh neighborhood includes four components of redundancy, diversity, connectivity and strength.Conclusion: Evaluation of the components of physical resilience of Qaleh neighborhood against earthquake from the perspective of experts using one-sample t-test, indicated that the physical resilience of Qaleh neighborhood of Dezful and its components are at an inappropriate level. In terms of resilience level, the connection component is in the first rank, the diversity component is in the second rank, the redundancy component is in the third rank and the strength component is in the fourth rank.

        Urban and regional resilience is one of the necessities of a sustainable human life in nature. Due to natural changes and developments, various events take place during special and sometimes sudden periods, which are necessary for the survival of the existing nature. From the past until now, several methods have been invented to deal with the damages of natural disasters, including earthquakes, and now the best way to deal with this crisis is known as crisis management by making human settlements resilient. Resilience of settlements should include all factors related to humans and society, which include social, physical, economic and institutional resilience. This research examines the physical resilience of settlements against earthquakes and ranks the vulnerability of the areas. The current research is in terms of practical and developmental purpose, in terms of descriptive research method and in terms of collecting documentary and library information. The analysis method in this research is based on the analysis of the Euclidean distances of the fault zones and Vikor method. Then, for the final conclusion, using the spatial model, the output maps of Vikor index and the earthquake vulnerability map of the settlements in the region have been integrated and presented. The purpose of this research is to analyze the resilience of East Guilan region against earthquakes and investigate the various consequences of preventing the vulnerability of settlements. Due to the earthquake-proneness of East Guilan, this area of the province has been selected for study. The results indicate that Lahijan city has the highest amount and Siahkal city has the lowest amount of physical resilience. In order to achieve physical resilience in the eastern region of Guilan, we have presented strategies, the most important of which include the creation of retrofitting plans in newly constructed buildings and strengthening the resistance of middle-level buildings and public centers, and creating access to open space, as well as strengthening and building centers. relief and treatment and increasing urban permeability.
