Assessing the Role of Effective Factors in Social Resilience against Virus Events (A Case Study of the Five Districts of Izeh City)

The outbreak of the Corona Virus has once again drawn attention to the value of two vital but overlooked security and health benefits. On the one hand, the "disease" has threatened health, and on the other hand, the "epidemic" has jeopardized the sense of public safety and increased fear. In late January 2020, the Iranian media announced that the Corona Virus had spread in Iran. Thus, the issue of public fear arose in the media. Educational, administrative, and job vacancies, that were overcrowded, were closed, and people reacted differently, which indicated that they needed resilience. The present study seeks to analyze the role of factors affecting social resilience in the five areas of Izeh and to investigate the spatial differences in social resilience between these areas. Resilience is a social dimension that results from social differences between societies; that is, the capacity of social groups and communities to recover (return to the original state (from disasters or to respond positively to them). This study followed a descriptive-analytical approach. The statistical population of the study was 50 experts in different fields of health, psychology, sociology, and urban planning. The data collection was carried out through the library and field methods and the analysis of data was done quantitatively. The results showed that each of the thirteen factors found in this research was different in the five areas of Izeh and the social literacy of the areas of Izeh against Corona was different, in a way that the western, central, Noorabad, eastern, and northern districts were in the first to fifth ranks, respectively.
