Abstract

Resilience in cities is especially important in the face of natural hazards; in a way that affects the life and durability of a city. The view that has existed so far in urban management has been more of a confrontational and mitigating view of risks. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and measure the ecological-infrastructure resilience of fariman city against natural hazards; therefore, the research method in this study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method, and the statistical population is studied by a number of experts and specialists in urban issues. The studied variable is the ecological and physical-infrastructural dimension of resilience and 23 related components. Data were analyzed using t-test and friedman test. The results of measuring the ecological-infrastructure resilience of fariman city show that this resilience tends towards a relatively high range. Among the components studied in the sample t-test, the component "there are policies for the protection of public infrastructure and floods" with the highest score of 11.53 and the component "in the city due to the dense building providing assistance to victims in crisis" with 47 . 4 has the lowest score. The results of the friedman test also show that the component "easy access to the main thoroughfares of the city" with a score of 15.96 has the highest score and the component "in the city due to the dense building to help the injured in times of crisis" with a score of 96 . 5 has the lowest score.
