Spatial Analysis of Physical Resilience of Shiraz Metropolitan in Dealing with Flood Risk

Understanding the levels of urban resilience and planning to reduce the effects of various risks has a key role in managing urban crises. The purpose of this research is to identify areas with different resilience in the eleven districts of the Shiraz metropolis in order to deal with the flood crisis. The current research is based on the Fuzzy-AHP method and uses the criteria of the level of relief (sub-criteria of the density of firefighting centers, emergency, medical centers, hospitals, law enforcement, and Red Crescent), the state of residence (sub-criteria of the density of temporary accommodation places, population density and spaces Occupied), access status (sub-criteria of the density of arterial type and width of passages), worn texture and equipment placement status, identifies areas with different levels of resilience (weak, medium, good and very good). Examination of the level of relief showed that there is a weakness of relief in areas far from the city center. Therefore, it is suggested to increase the emergency services in the neighborhoods and areas far from the center of Shiraz in these places. In terms of criteria and sub-criteria examined in this research, weaker resilience was generally seen in the east and northwest of the city. The results of this research can be considered by executive managers in the phase of crisis management prevention and preparation.
