Using the GIS to Assess Urban Resilience with Case Study Experience

Urban resilience refers to the degree, limitation, or extent to which cities can withstand change before reorganizing into a new set of structures and processes. Research shows that the concept of resilience was introduced for the first time in 1994 at the Center for Unexpected Events Research States Unites states. The aim of this research is to analyze the spatial components affecting the urban resilience of Tehran's metropolitan area; in the form of physical and spatial indicators identifying the main factors affecting urban resilience. Initially, indicators in 11 categories, including Red Crescent centers, fire departments, hospitals, green spaces and parks, emergency rooms, crisis management centers, medical centers, blood transfusion centers, police centers, subway stations and food production centers based on land use studies have been established. Available in the GIS software environment demonstrated the resilience of regions through the use of recovery tools. Increasing marginalization and, subsequently, urban poverty in areas such as the southern region and inequality and inequality in terms of infrastructure perception and a range of development indicators. The magnitude of 24% of Tehran's unstable tissue, and the residence of about 42% of the city's inhabitants in the crisis tissues are among the other dangerous things for the citizens, that brings us geographers and urban planners to consider all these risks in terms of location and space to identify them, provide the programs and solutions required to make these zones resilience.
