Increasing insight, law enforcement knowledge, and using active and passive defense mechanisms have a significant role in crisis management, and many disasters can be solved with these mechanisms in the society. The current research aims to provide a structural equation modeling (SEM) of the relationship between insight and crisis management mediated by passive defense mechanism.

This is a descriptive survey using SEM method. The study population consists of the employees of Isfahan police department (FAA) in Isfahan, Iran, who had participated in the provincial insight courses (n=240). The sample size was determined using Cochran’s formula. By using simple random sampling method, 148 eligible employees were selected, all of whom were second-level managers. The standard crisis management questionnaires of Jahanbakhsh et al. (2015), a researcher-made insight scale with 14 items, and a researcher-made questionnaire of passive defense with 30 items were used to collect data. To analyze the data and test the hypotheses, correlation test, stepwise multiple regression analysis, and SEM were used in SPSS software, version 20 and Smart PLS software, version 3.

The findings showed that insight and its components together with passive defense had a significant relationship with crisis management. The variable of passive defense also had a significant mediating role in the relationship between insight and crisis management.

increasing insight is one of the important factors in improving the quality of crisis management along with paying attention to the dimensions and components of passive defense. One of the strengths of this study was the attention to the hidden layers of crisis management in the performance of police missions. By understanding the concept of passive defense, the relationship between insight and crisis management can be understood and it can be used to prevent and deal with internal and external threats.

Human settlements are formed and developed in a specific natural environment. Social, political, cultural, and economic systems that govern the societies can affect residential spaces. Therefore, the special natural and human habitats cause the formation of special spaces, which require their own management system. After the earthquake on November 12, 2017, in Salas Babajani County, Kermanshah, Iran, whose epicenter was Ezgeleh district, the presence of natural areas in the county caused the crisis management in this region to face special problems. In addition, the sectoral and centralized management structure governing the country and thus the Salas Babajani County added to the complexity of these problems and caused the residents of this region to suffer a deep crisis. The aim of the current study is a spatial pathology of earthquake management in urban and rural settlements of Salas Babajani County. 

This is a descriptive-analytical study. Data were collected using the documentary method and a researcher-made questionnaire. Participants were the residents of Salas Babajani County. 

The findings showed that the earthquake management in the County has a high compliance with the centralized and sectoral management model. In addition, it was found that the crisis management in the four stages (prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery) was in an unfavorable situation. the highest weakness was in the prevention stage and the lowest weakness was related to the preparedness stage. 

Overall, the results showed that crisis management has worsened by moving away from the center towards the outskirts, especially towards the southwestern borders. In other words, by moving away from the political center of the County (Tazeh Abad district), the crisis management became very unfavorable. Also, it was found that the crisis management was greatly influenced by the spatial factors of elevation, land slope, transportation network, distribution of human settlements, and population density.

The Social Security Administration is the most important lever for establishing social justice in civil societies. The demographic and diversity of the organization's activities exposes it to a variety of crises. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of presenting an organizational leadership model in crisis management of the Social Security Organization of Iran.

The type of this research was qualitative and was done using data-based method. In order to achieve the organizational leadership model, eleven professors, experienced people in the field of the Social Security Organization were interviewed with in-depth semi-structured way, using targeted sampling method and due to theoretical saturation. Then the resulting data were interpreted through coding.

Research findings show that organization play three main service functions for crisis management in the Social Security Organization. The first function, which is detected in this study, is providing mediating factors of predicting and resolving the crisis. Mediating factors formulated through categories like; review on country's insurance laws, performing parametric corrections and developing protection laws. Finally, the third essential component of the organizational leadership model is management stability, financial stability and increasing social trust.

Achieving a crisis management model requires providing the ground, the existence of causal conditions, the existence of facilitator components and the use of appropriate strategies. The function of leadership is precisely in this area. Providing growth and development of the broker alone is not desirable and does not achieve crisis resolution and forecasting.

The current research was conducted to investigate the relationship between social capital and organizational crisis management among education workers in Khuzestan province. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of implementation. The statistical population of the research includes all the employees of the General Department of Education of Khuzestan province (1540 people), of which 310 people were selected as a sample through simple random sampling. Social capital questionnaire (Rasol Zadeh Aghdam et al., 2015) and crisis management questionnaire (Jahanbakhsh et al., 2015) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results of the findings indicated that there is a significant relationship between social capital (trust, participation, and cohesion) and the management of organizational crises of Khuzestan education staff; the more the amount of social capital of employees increases, the more the management of social crises will increase.

The lack of high-quality information systems that can help the organization in performing its duties at the time of crisis can be a problem for telecommunication networks. This research is an attempt to improve the two-dimensional model of the information system (system quality and information quality) for crisis management by adding a third dimension “knowledge of users and analysts” and presenting a three-dimensional model of information system for crisis management of telecommunication networks (fixed or mobile) in Iran.

This is a survey study. Participants were 49 managers and experts from Iran’s telecommunication networks (fixed and mobile), who were selected using a stratified random sampling method from a study population (n=980). A questionnaire was used to collect the information which had acceptable content validity (CVR=0.63) and reliability (Cronbach’s α=0.88). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS software, version 27.0.1.

Based on the findings, 26.3% of changes in crisis management in the telecommunication networks organization were explained by system quality, 17.4% by information quality and 14.4% by the knowledge of users and analysts, which showed the relatively moderate effect of system quality on crisis management. The three domains together explained 28.3% of the changes in crisis management, which was a relatively moderate effect.

The relative weights of system quality, information quality, and knowledge of users and analysts indicates that Iran’s telecommunication network organizations (fixed and mobile) have information systems with relatively moderate quality that are not suitable for administrative levels.

In recent years, the world has seen an increase in catastrophic events. One important challenge for the countries is their vulnerability to natural disasters. The present study aims to identify and explain the effective indicators of knowledge management for the management of natural disasters in Iran.

This is a descriptive survey study (qualitative/quantitative). Participants were the members of the crisis headquarters in Mazandaran Province and the experts in urban crisis management (n=50). Library method was used to assess theoretical foundations, definitions and concepts. To collect information, a researcher-made questionnaire was used whose validity and reliability were confirmed using content validity and test-re-test method, respectively. The collected data were described using descriptive statistics in SPSS software, version 22.

The results confirmed the role of knowledge management in three domains: Crisis management process, the specialized equipment for rescue operations, and factors influencing crisis management. The coefficient of importance for each component was calculated separately. The total score was 327 for the crisis management process, 386 for the specialized equipment for rescue operations, and 468 for factors influencing crisis management.

In evaluating the role of knowledge management in management of natural disasters in Iran, its impact on the factors influencing crisis management is more important than the impact on crisis management process and the specialized equipment for rescue operations. Knowledge management can play a vital role by ensuring the availability and access to accurate and reliable information about disasters and through effective education.

One of the main concerns of urban experts in crisis management is historical contexts, which are usually more vulnerable and fragile in crises such as earthquakes, floods, or fires due to relative physical depletion. The main idea in historical texture is to prevent irreparable and horrible events. In addition to controlling the lives of many, valuable works considered the cultural identity of any society is not destroyed. The purpose of this study is to present a model based on a participatory approach in solving problems related to crisis management in historical bazaars and then, in the next step, to examine the coefficient of the importance of risks in the historical bazaar of Tabriz and finally to prioritize sub-spaces of Tabriz bazaar. The present study has used a mixed-method, relying on qualitative and quantitative approaches to achieve the objectives. It has collected and summarized the content of the findings using both approaches. Finally, four components arising from the output of interviews with experts in the field, in the field of qualitative research method, show that crisis management of the historical market of Tabriz is unsolvable without the participation of marketers and merchants. The basic (satisfaction, awareness, social interactions, and trust) are linked, all of which can be observed in the form of the "people component" along with the two components of "government structure" and "space" and form triple participation in the historical market of Tabriz. The results of the quantitative studies section of the research indicate three earthquake hazards with a weight coefficient (0.188), intentional destruction of the structure by marketers and merchants with a weight coefficient (0.173), and finally, fire hazards with a weight coefficient (0.142), respectively. They were ranked first to third.

The aim of this study is to design a model for effective crisis management in organizations through organizational learning among selected organizations in the Isfahan chamber of crisis management. This study is applied –regarding its purpose, correlative –descriptive – regarding its type, cross- sectional survey- regarding its time of data gathering and it pursues mixed methods (qualitative- quantitative)- regarding the nature of data and research approach. The study’s statistical population in qualitative part includes some organizations in Isfahan chamber of crisis management which were selected by purposive sampling. The statistical population consists of 153 expert people in crisis management were located in the Isfahan chamber of crisis management, who were selected based on snowball technique. In the qualitative part, the interviews were analyzed by thematic method. In the quantitative part, a researcher- made questionnaire was compiled by the results of the qualitative part and this questionnaire was used to collect respondent’s opinions. The content validity was confirmed by subject matter experts' opinions. The questionnaire’s reliability was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Total Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.961. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the variables of the crisis phase and post-crisis phases was 0.700 and 0.856, respectively. To analyze the data from the quantitative part, the exploratory factor analysis approach using the principal component analysis (PCA) method has been used.

The purpose of the current research is to design a crisis management model for administrators of Farhangian University. The research method is qualitative; and applicable research in terms of its purpose. The statistical population of the research includes 16 university experts, managers and academic staff members who had experience in crisis management, and were individually interviewed and selected by theoretical (non-probability) and purposeful sampling. And semi-structured interviews were used with university experts. The components and quality requirements of crisis management were obtained through theme analysis during three stages of data coding. The results showed that the components of crisis management in Farhangian University include the degree of preparedness to deal with the crisis (individual factors, organizational factors, educational factors, economic factors); preparation of risk management plan (before the crisis, during the crisis); Organizational structure; participation of organizations; organization communication (internal communication plans, external communication plans); Continuous monitoring (crisis maneuver, possible crisis scenario, review and evaluation); organizational leadership (leadership and management, organizational culture); organizational agility; and university infrastructure.

Undoubtedly, in the crisis of the epidemic of the Covid-19 virus, reducing the injuries and improving the performance of the electric power distribution company, which provides exclusive and vital services at the strategic level of the country, is of special importance for the continuation of the essential activities of the society and national sustainability against the public crisis. Therefore, the purpose of the current research is to investigate and identify the effects of the epidemic on the company and Pathology of the company's crisis management and to provide practical suggestions for the sustainability of the company's performance and flexibility in the crisis. Considering that the current research seeks to provide conceptualization, it is exploratory in terms of its purpose, and the research strategy is exploratory mixed method (qualitative - quantitative). Content analysis method was used in the qualitative stage and survey research method was used in the quantitative stage. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data in the qualitative stage, and questionnaires were used in the quantitative stage for exploratory factor analysis and the extraction of Latent variable from the conceptual codes obtained in the qualitative stage. Based on the indicators collected from the interviews, two questionnaires related to research purpose were extracted and compiled, which had 14 and 32 items respectively. Then, in the survey stage, based on the results of the exploratory factor analysis test, there are 4 factors or latent variables including negligence in crisis management, intervening environmental factors, lack of biological defense program and cultural poverty as factors of failure of crisis management and 7 latent variables including Psychological injuries, job burnout, weakening of knowledge management, physical injury of employees, decline in organizational harmony, financial losses and limitation of employees' actions were identified as the effects of crisis on the company. Also, the results of the ranking of the variables indicate that during the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, the two factors of crisis management negligence and Psychological injuries are respectively the most important among the factors of crisis management failure and the effects of the crisis on the company.

One of the most effective services provided by the armed forces during social crises (such as war, etc.) is the construction of military field hospitals. The location and construction of these hospitals have potential risks that need to be identified, prioritized, and find appropriate solutions to contain them. The purpose of the current research is to identify the risks of building military field hospitals during war and crisis and to prioritize them using the FMEA approach. The research is based on the method of data collection, descriptive-case study, and based on the type of data, it is mixed. The research expert team includes 17 experts (all of whom were familiar with the basics of risk management, field hospitals and the FMEA approach and had experience or academic records of more than 20 years, related to one of the mentioned subjects) using the available method and until reaching the theoretical saturation stage was selected. In order to survey the experts, a semi-structured interview was used. The first researcher-made questionnaire was used by the expert team to calculate the CVI index, and the second researcher-made questionnaire was used by 60 experts in the research field for the FMEA approach. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed using content validity and its reliability using Cronbach's alpha and SPSS software. Based on the results, 60 priority risks (including 16 high-risk cases, 26 medium-risk cases, and 18 low-risk cases) were identified in the establishment of military field hospitals. Also, the results show that the risks of lack of drug storage, blood supply bank, operating room equipment, engine house, water tanks and facilities, health and energy infrastructure, land quality, waste disposal system, structure strength, camouflage and security of transmission routes are the most important risks.

Creating a crisis in the sports industry is the result of the functioning of different and influential elements in different fields. The proper and optimal performance of these areas is the key to the stability, survival and security of sports organizations and environments, and unfavorable performance and differences in the work of each of these areas will cause an inappropriate and critical situation. The purpose of this research was to design a model of the effective factors of crisis management in the country's sports industry in the framework of a mixed approach, and data collection tools were conducted in the qualitative part of a semi-structured interview and in the quantitative part of a questionnaire. The statistical populations of the samples in both sections were experts in the field of crisis management in sports, including professors of sports management, experts and managers in sports and youth departments, universities, clubs, etc. Sampling of the qualitative part was targeted and continued until reaching theoretical saturation (18 people). In the quantitative part, 384 samples were selected purposefully and with the snowball reference technique. In the data analysis of the qualitative part, Glaser's data base theory (open, selective and theoretical coding) was used, and fuzzy Delphi technique was used to determine the importance and screening of the most important indicators identified. In the quantitative part of structural equation modeling, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with Smart PLS3 software was used to check the validity and reliability of measurement tools and structures. The KMS test was used to examine the research questions and to examine the data distribution due to non-normality, the non-parametric binomial test was used, and the Friedman test was used to rank the factors using spss26 software. The results of the qualitative part showed that crisis management included 386 concepts, 18 categories and eight dimensions (organizational, economic-entrepreneurial, legal and legal, social-cultural, health-psychological, information technology and media, tourism-environmental and political). In the quantitative part, according to the results obtained from structural equation modeling, the final model of the research was formed and the results of the Friedman test showed the effective factors in crisis management in the order of priority (economic and entrepreneurial, social and cultural, political, tourism and environmental, legal and legal), technology and media, organization, health and psychological Therefore, it is suggested that the country's sports trustees pay enough attention to the eight main categories and the components of each of them for crisis management and work hard to strengthen the positive components and eliminate the negative components.

The increasing occurrence of natural or human-caused hazards is a significant global concern. These hazards often strike unexpectedly and, due to their intensity, frequency, and complexity, can inflict considerable damage on humans and their accomplishments. This article offers an overview of utilizing remote sensing technologies for managing natural hazards. It focuses on enhancing our understanding of the built environment’s vulnerability to such hazards and on developing methods to more accurately assess their impact on urban areas.

To evaluate the effectiveness of remote sensing technology in risk management, this paper presents several case studies, including the 1999 Marmara earthquake in Turkey, the 2003 Bam earthquake in Iran, and the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. These studies are based on library research and analysis of results. The paper concludes with a discussion on potential future directions of remote sensing in hazard management, exploring the technological advances and challenges that could broaden its application in addressing future hazards.

Analysis of sources indicates that remote sensing technology is highly effective in assessing damage post-disaster, monitoring recovery and reconstruction progress, and enhancing knowledge about urban infrastructure. Establishing a comprehensive and accurate database of critical infrastructure is essential for emergency risk management, as it provides a baseline for estimating actual damage and related losses following an event. Immediate damage assessment after a natural or man-made hazard is crucial for initiating the response process and informing the prioritization of relief efforts and initial damage evaluations. The integration of GPS-based technologies with GIS systems has notably improved field detection efforts after major disasters, underscoring the importance of these technologies in disaster response.

Over the past decades, remote sensing technology has seen widespread use in assessing the impact of earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, floods, forest fires, and terrorist attacks. The research findings clearly indicate that remote sensing technology, leveraging satellite imagery with high spatial resolution and widespread availability, can effectively contribute to all facets of crisis management.

Since the land surrounding the city, especially in Iranian cities, is considered as a supporting environment for the city, and at the same time, a large part of Iranian cities are created behind the banks of agricultural lands and natural and human phenomena. Paying attention to determining a suitable direction for the future growth and development of the city is very important. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to find the optimal location of the physical expansion of Sardasht City using the combined Hasse method and the fuzzy network analytical process (FANP) of the spatial information system. 

The method of the current research is practical and analytical in terms of its descriptive nature, in order to achieve the goal of the research, different layers of information, including height, percentage of slope, slope direction, distance from main roads, distance from the city center, distance from areas Forest protection, distance from water sources, land use, distance from waterways and distance from watersheds are included in ARC GIS software and while analyzing them in geographic information system database using FANP, lands It was found suitable for the future physical development of Sardasht City.

The results of the research showed that based on the overlap map obtained, which is the result of fuzzy models and  analytic network process (ANP), the best lands for the future development of Sardasht City are scattered in the south, southwest, northeast and west parts of the city. Also, the most unsuitable parts in this field are scattered in the east, northwest and parts of the west of the city

According to the findings of the research, the completely suitable and relatively suitable floor is located in the south, southwest, northeast and west parts. Unsuitable floors are located in the south end of the city and small parts are scattered in the study area. The completely inappropriate class includes the north, northwest, east and parts of the western areas of the city.

The current research was conducted to assess the situation and investigate and evaluate the crisis management in the libraries, museums, and cultural heritage documentation centers of the central plateau of Iran, in terms of the conditions of buildings and works. 

Survey-descriptive research method, semi-structured questionnaire, and interview using questionnaire and descriptive analysis based on standard were used.

Findings indicated that 100% of the evaluated centers are located in areas that are threatened by various risks, and 95% of them are exposed to both natural and unnatural risk factors and industrial disasters. In terms of the types of possible accidents, more accidents were drought (subsidence, sinkhole, and dust) and earthquake (100%), fire (95%), theft (92.5%), vandalism (55%), pests (48.5%) and air pollution (47.5%). There are many problems and obstacles regarding the implementation of crisis management. Most curators were dissatisfied with the unfavorable conditions of crisis management. Lack of necessary and continuous training regarding crisis management for curators and employees of museums, lack of insurance coverage of buildings and museums, lack of crisis control plan, lack of effective and continuous communication with specialists and organizations with special services in the field of crisis management, lack of budget forecast, and lack of sufficient knowledge and skills in this area were among the problems and obstacles that were identified after the analysis. 

One of the basic problems, in addition to financial, human, administrative, and structural resources, is the lack of a suitable model, especially based on the country’s climate. The model of crisis management as a road map and specifying the path for proper planning in the three areas of prevention, in the crisis situation and after the crisis is very necessary. In the current research, after examining the situation, it was found that there is no indication of a suitable model based on the region’s climate in the three areas of prevention, during and after the crisis.

Cities, especially urban areas, are exposed to the effects of many natural disasters and acute disasters, such as earthquakes, which can affect city boundaries. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the seismic vulnerability of worn-out structures in the face of possible accidents and hazards, so that the worn-out structures of cities are more resistant to natural disasters and ready to deal with disasters and pressures. This study assesses the seismic vulnerability of the worn fabric of Hasirabad in Ahvaz against earthquakes.

This research adopted a development-applied research method based on the approach of structural spatial studies. Therefore, the seven indicators were extracted and analyzed using Geoda and ArcGIS software. 

Thematic results showed that among the indicators affecting the seismic vulnerability of the worn-out fabric, the building skeleton and the age of the building are the most effective with coefficients of 1.94 and 1.03. Also, the location results showed that 290,665 square meters, that is, 26% of the total worn texture area with vulnerability levels of 0.01, are in a completely vulnerable state. 

The results of the investigation of the level of vulnerability in worn texture show that in area No. 1, 39.4% of the surfaces are completely vulnerable, in area No. 2, 40% of the buildings have medium vulnerability and relatively are susceptible to damage, and in area No. 3, 29.9% of buildings have moderate vulnerability.

Regardless of the effectiveness of the policy during the formulation stage, it is crucial for the policy to be seamlessly integrated and solidified within the actual procedures and practices of the local destination of implementation. This integration is essential for realizing the intended benefits of the policy. This study aims to identify and categorize obstacles and opportunities for effective implementation of Covid-19 crisis policies in the executive bodies of Kurdistan Province. 

Using a qualitative case study approach, data was collected through interviews with 32 employees from five government organizations: The health network, education network, banking network, traffic police, and governorate organizations. 

Data were analyzed based on a conceptual model consisting of fourteen factors. The study identified several obstacles and inhibiting factors, including a lack of facilities, non-cooperation of the people, insufficient financial support from the government, incorrect information from organizations, and limited interaction between people and organizations. Opportunities and drivers of implementation included problem-solving through disobeying orders, the sacrifice of employees, high levels of inter-organizational cooperation, problem-solving through consultation with higher authorities, and increased interaction between people and organizations. The findings provide insights for policymakers and practitioners on effective implementation of crisis policies at the local level. 

Effective crisis management necessitates social participation and recognition of the influential role of media, within both organizational and citizen levels. Policymakers and government executives should utilize the potential of public participation and the media to formulate and implement crisis policies, thereby addressing any potential weaknesses in policy formulation through collaboration and empathy.

The main goal of this research is to provide a structural model of the impact of social capital on university crisis management. The current research is part of applied research in terms of "type of target" and in terms of the method of this research, it is a descriptive-survey research. The statistical population of this research includes 13 thousand students studying in Payam Noor Karaj University, which according to Morgan's table number 374. The sample people are required, and the sample was selected randomly. The tools for collecting information in this research include two questionnaires, the standard social capital questionnaire by Nahapit Ghoshal (1998) and the researcher-made questionnaire related to university crisis management. The face validity of the research tools has been approved by 5 professors of Payam Noor Karaj University. The reliability of the research tool was calculated by distributing 30 questionnaires among the research sample and using Cronbach's alpha calculation, during which the reliability of the social capital questionnaire was 0.941 the crisis management questionnaire was calculated as 0.954. The results of the test of the structural model of the impact of social capital on crisis management in the university show that the model has a suitable fit based on the mentioned indicators. In addition, the coefficient of impact of university social capital on crisis management in universities is equal to 0.867, which shows its very high impact. In addition, the results of the final structural model show that the structural dimension of social capital directly affects the political dimension of crisis management in universities.
