Abstract

The hazards that occur around the world reflect the vulnerability of our built environment and reflect the unfortunate consequences of catastrophes. Therefore, as crises increase, urban and regional resilience to natural and human hazards has received special attention. As the aim of the study, the dimensions of economic and institutional resilience in akbarabad and beheshtabad neighborhoods of izeh city were measured against floods. The present research is based on library studies and field studies in terms of development-applied purpose and in terms of descriptive-analytical methodology. To achieve the objectives of the research, indicators in two sections and 11 categories include (knowledge and knowledge, skills, organizational performance, trust, institutional context, institutional relationships, institutional performance, the amount of damage, the ability to compensate, return to normal and insurance disasters) were extracted. To discover the pattern trend for classification of flood resilience indices, one-sample t-test, independent t-test and friedman test were used. The heads of households living in these neighborhoods were selected and a standard questionnaire was distributed among them. Then, to investigate the effects of flood resistance in the studied areas, regression tools and indicators (therapeutic, hospital, arterial route, fire, type of construction) are used, and also to weight the studied indicators and spatial data, the method of spatial correlation. The weights manager tool in geoda software and the arcgis software environment were used. The results show that significant parts of this texture of the two approved flood-prone neighborhoods in the city of izeh are in very weak and weak resilience periods. Analytical results of approved neighborhoods show that access to firefighting and crisis management centers, medical centers and hospitals, as well as the location of izeh city, especially akbarabad and beheshtabad neighborhoods need to be reviewed in the priorities of the study.
