The neighborhoods in the central part of Tabriz are vulnerable to natural and human hazards due to the age and exhaustion of construction materials and narrow, disordered passages due to the lack of infrastructure and urban facilities. This situation has reduced the possibility of aids and crisis management and, eventually, the resiliency of the neighborhoods in times of crisis and emergencies. Therefore, it necessitates the analysis and promotion of the level of resiliency of neighborhoods. This study was conducted using descriptive-analytical method with the aims of recognizing the condition of resiliency of the considered neighborhoods and zoning the resiliency level of the old 24 neighborhoods of the central part of Tabriz in the four-fold dimensions of resiliency and subscale indices of each dimension using the methods of electricity and AHP, and seeking the opinions of experts and relevant specialists in Tabriz central area neighborhoods. The findings and results of the study showed that the physical, social and economic dimensions gained the lowest place respectively among the four dimensions of resiliency measurement. Mansour, Ahrab, Maghsoudiyeh and Daneshsara neighborhoods have the highest resiliency and the neighborhoods of Gajil, Baghshomal, Maralan and Sorkhab have the lowest level of resiliency among the studied 24 neighborhoods.
