Abstract

Since natural hazards cause severe social, economic, cultural, physical, and functional disruptions in cities, promoting urban resilience not only helps maintain the initial performance of cities, but also leads to their improvement and prosperity after the occurrence of hazards. The aim of the present study is to identify the factors affecting urban resilience. The research method is applied in terms of purpose, interpretive and analytical in nature, and qualitative and quantitative in terms of method. Grand Theory, Delphi, and finally Self-Interaction Matrix (SSIM) models were used to analyze the data. The statistical population in the present study includes experts and elites in the field of urban planning in general and urban management in particular. Purposive sampling was used to collect data, and finally (30) people were selected as a sample. In the present study, categories including economic, social, cultural, and physical were identified as effective factors in urban resilience. Then, using the Delphi method in two stages of the survey; the experts' agreement was announced regarding the factors raised. The results of the self-interaction matrix showed that the economic factor has an effect on other factors. The physical factor, which is the most important factor in urban resilience, is affected by other factors and does not have an effect on another factor by itself.
