Spatial organization of crisis management supportive bases by using combined techniques of multi-criteria decision making and GIS analysis, case study: region 18 of Tehran

Natural disasters are amongst main parts of our life and they have been regarded and will be regarded as a permanent thereat to development, in other words human daily life cannot be assumed without natural disasters. The development of social life especially urbanization, and the continuing expansion of the cities also increase the importance of these issues (natural disasters and their impacts on human life) for urban governors in a way that one can claim that one of the most crucial concerns of citizens and urban governors is to find appropriate solutions to deal with these crisis. It should be taken into consideration that it is impossible to preclude these disasters but to prepare for a good reaction for these disasters can be a good solution to decrease post damages casualties to the cities. Herein, Crisis Management Supportive Bases in terms of prevention, preparation and dealing with the crisis play a key role especially in Tehran and in time of natural disasters. The advent of these supportive bases goes back to previous decade. There is no doubt that high level and efficient function of these bases has a striking correlation with the way they are located in both urban and regional level in a way that in addition to providing security of the bases especially versus disasters, they could be, based on the service area, able to provide the areas of crisis with good services. According to the fact that one of the most dimensions of dealing with disasters is to help people in crisis in early hours of the disaster, and also the functional region of the crisis area is of great importance to be considered, herein, this paper tries to organize Crisis Management Supportive Service Bases in catastrophic occasions in southwestern parts of Tehran for region 18.
