Measurement, and Evaluation of Spatial Resilience of Earthquake Central Districts of Kashan

Today, paying attention to the topic of resilience is crucial to building a resilient, disaster-free society. Increasing the resilience of cities to natural disasters, especially earthquakes, is greatly effective in reducing these damages, as well as in the recovery time of communities. In the meantime, urban planners and managers, as the most important institutions involved in the design of cities, play a key role in enhancing the resilience of urban communities to earthquakes. The concept of resilience is a new concept, more commonly used in the face of unknowns and uncertainties. The purpose of this research is to measure and evaluate the rate of spatial resilience in central Kashan. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the main data gathering tool is a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population of the study was residents of central Kashan, who analyzed the results of questionnaire, ANOVA test using SPSS software and SEM using Amos software, and T-test was used. The results of the significant indices of the indices are: economic index (021), physical index (147.), and social index (579.), respectively. The results of this study showed that Kashan neighborhoods were significantly different in terms of economic, physical, and social indexes and ideally resilience indexes. Social, economic, and income variables also influenced resilience.
