Assessment and Analysis of the Consequences of Climate Change on the Spatial-Biological Resilience of Ahvaz Metropolis

The speed of drought in the world has increased during the last 10 years, but its effects in Iran and Khuzestan province have been much more severe than usual. On the other hand, the intensification of rainfall and the occurrence of floods, the exploitation of water resources and the occurrence of widespread subsidence and the phenomenon of long-term dust as the consequences of climate change will have a negative impact on the pattern of residence and activity in Ahvaz metropolis and will change the structure and function of this metropolis in the future. Based on this, the necessity of paying attention and applying the resilience approach and synchronizing it with the consequences of climate change and future problems will be able to protect the citizens and the fabric of the city in relation to natural disasters and adapt to the existing conditions in the long term. The purpose of this research is to evaluate and analyze the consequences of climate change on the spatial-biological resilience of Ahvaz metropolis. In terms of the purpose, the present research is of an applied type, which was carried out by descriptive-analytical method and field surveys and within the framework of analytical-case model. The studied community includes the statistical block and the land use layer of the city's current state, the available documents including the comprehensive and detailed plan have been obtained. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, spatial-biological dimensions were extracted in 14 indicators.
