Evaluation of urban neighborhoods vulnerability in harmony with the principles of non-defense factor (Case study: The Shahrekord city)

The purpose of this study is to assess safety features of Shahrekord based on passive defense, risk zonation of the city, the distribution pattern of urban infrastructures and decision-making organizations. This study is of applied type and its case study is Shahrekord city. The city vulnerability is case of war, is evaluated by means of spatial indices affecting safety. In order to analyse the data, firstly a comparison and evaluation were carried out on urban criterias and sub-criterias modeled by ANP in Decisions Super software. Then importance coefficients of all main criterias were evaluated by AHP model and Choice Expert software. After evaluation of criterias and sub-criterias, distance to those which closeness or deviation from them are important, were estimated using ArcGIS software. After these processes, Shahrekord was classified into 6 classes based on vulnerabilities (very high risk, high, moderate, modest, low and very low).
