Investigating and evaluating the resilience of Karaj communication network (Case study: Shahid Beheshti and Azadi streets)

In recent years, the study of the concepts of resilience at the urban and regional scales has attracted special attention, although the level and number of these studies at the urban scale is higher than studies at higher scales. Hence, the gap of this group of studies in the field of regional studies is obvious.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate the resilience of Karaj communication network. In this research, with library studies, important criteria and sub-criteria in increasing the resilience of roads have been identified and then studied and evaluated in selected axes. The six criteria developed in this study are equestrian resilience, pedestrian and cyclist resilience, natural disaster resilience, efficient transportation management, resilience against adverse weather conditions and resilience against crime.

This research is of applied type. On the other hand, the research method is descriptive-analytical with a combined (quantitative-qualitative) approach

One of the proposed solutions to improve resilience is to walk the busy pedestrian sections of the street, implement traffic plans such as pairing and individualizing, controlling the speed of vehicles and providing safe movement for pedestrians through relaxation methods, using speed control tools. He mentioned the construction of overpasses or underpasses for pedestrians in high-risk areas, etcOne of the proposed solutions to improve resilience is to walk the busy pedestrian sections of the street, implement traffic plans such as pairing and individualizing, controlling the speed of vehicles and providing safe movement for pedestrians through relaxation methods, using speed control tools.
