The Measurement of Environmental Resilience In the District 14 of Tehran

Today, environmental issues have become one of the most important challenges for urban planners, and unbridled urban development has added to their complexity. Resiliency approach planning can, in all respects, create the capacity to deal with the turbulent future. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the environmental resilience of neighborhoods in the district 14 of Tehran. In principle, 23 neighborhoods have been investigated by selecting five environmental indicators. The five indicators were ranked by 30 urban planning experts through hierarchical analyzes of AHP, and then the Gray Relationship Analysis of the status and location of neighborhoods in the district 14 were analyzed concerning each indicator. Finally, the normal line of 0.714 was drawn as the final score in all indices, indicating that 12 neighborhoods had a low resilience. Based on the obtained results, the environmental resilience is reduced while moving towards the western and southwest neighborhoods,. This is in harmony with the texture and population density of the region. Therefore, urban planners need to understand the consequences and environmental costs of physical development rather than physical development itself.
