Social vulnerability is a creature created by the structural relations of groups and forces of society against the various pressures of nature and decisions and the capacity of society to respond to and respond to environmental hazards. The purpose of this study was to analyze the social vulnerability in the Âhaskar district of Karaj.

The present research is applied in terms of its purpose and is of descriptive-analytical nature. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by independent t-test, T-test, Anova and Duncan tests.

The results of single-sample T-test indicated that vulnerability criteria were classified into three groups, with a mean of 2.30 with the least desirable and highest vulnerability, and then the participation rate and relation with mean 2.95 had the least degree of vulnerability. Also, the results of independent t-test showed that the Loon test was not statistically significant at 95% confidence level (sig = 0.27), so the assumption of equality of variances was considered. Accordingly, the calculated t value is 0.37 and the value (sig = 0.97), so the test is not statistically significant.

The study of social vulnerability showed that the research criteria on the level of Hesarak district of Karaj, follow certain patterns, which are formed at the level of neighborhood space and include a set of economic, social, cultural and behavioral processes. Has been. Therefore, it can be said that there is no statistically significant difference between the two neighborhoods (northern and southern harbors) in terms of vulnerability.
