Zoning of Urban Resilience Against Earthquake Using Fuzzy Logic and FAHP

Regarding the tectonic condition of Iran, this country faces a high risk of earthquake and there is virtually no place in this territory which can be called safe in terms of earthquake. Uncontrolled growth in Tehran metropolis has caused appearance of heterogeneous vulnerable textures. According to the possibility of earthquake and the necessity of planning ahead for this disaster, this study looked at zoning resilience of urban textures in district 12 of Tehran as a case. Among natural disasters, the earthquake can cause vast damages, hence the necessity to investigate its dimensions to reduce the damages. In this study, the FAHP technique was used to derive the importance of factors deemed relevant in resilience against earthquake. Then, the criteria were mapped and combined in GIS using weighted linear methid which showed the vulnerability of various parts of the textures. The results showed the model is not only applicable for determination of resiliency in district 12of Tehran, but also the possibility of calculating the level of resiliency against earthquake for the whole city.
