Measurement and zoning of physicalresilience of urban neighborhoods againstearthquake

Cities, as the most complex and widespread man-made structure, have always been exposed to many natural and human disasters. In the meantime, natural disasters, especially earthquakes, which are among the most devastating unpredictable hazards, have often caused massive damage and irreparable casualties on these settlements and its residents; which it is necessary to reduce its damages by urban retrofitting. The present research is in the field of applied-exploratory researches. The research method is objective and cognitive; and is of a descriptive- analytical-comparative nature. Study process is designed to first identify the earthquake resiliency criteria by reviewing multiple studies and then collecting the necessary data through questionnaire. After data quantization, the necessary information is entered into the GIS software and IDW analyzing method, then the layers are weighted using Fuzzy logic; In the final section of the analysis, after applying the coefficients of the layers and based on the topsis model and their overlap, the level of resilience of the neighborhoods of the study area has been calculated. The results of these studies, which are presented in the form of a zoning map from the regional resonance spatial analysis, show that the resilience level is not the same in all neighborhoods. Baharestan and Ferdowsi neighborhoods are in a unfavorable situation, neighborhoods of the Ghiam, Kowsar and Abshar have a favorable situation; and other neighborhoods are also in a moderate position compared to physical resiliency, which need to be prioritized, in order to irreparable damage in their respective policies and decisions.
