Abstract:

Natural hazards have always happened suddenly, and human societies have suffered a lot from them. One of the ways to cope with those hazards is to increase the resilience of communities against them. The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which rural and urban communities are discriminated against natural hazards. The present research is descriptive-analytic in terms of method and applied in term of purpose. The statistical population of the study consists of all the heads of urban households (147,717) and rural familes (21,763) in Zahedan. Among them, a sample of 322 was elicited by using Cochran's formula, and the participants completed questionnaires. In this research, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results of the research show that the level of economic, socio-cultural and infrastructure resilience in urban societies is higher than that in rural societies. In other words, the resilience of urban communities in these three indicators is desirable, but it is undesirable in rural communities. It is only in the social capital index that the resilience of rural communities is higher than that in urban societies. Also, in this very index, rural communities rank higher than the average, while urban ones are lower than desirable.
