Abstract
In recent years, urban planning and design knowledge, in proportion to its scope, has sought to identify methods to reduce earthquake damage in cities as the main human habitat. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of assessing the seismic vulnerability of Ilam city. This research was conducted based on a descriptive-analytical approach in terms of its applied purpose. The initial data of existing documents and maps were collected from relevant organizations. The DEMATEL-Fuzzy model and geographic information system were used to analyze the data. To determine the seismic vulnerability of Ilam city, indicators such as population density, land use, building density, road network, distance from green spaces, distance from faults, age of buildings, number of floors, quality of buildings, building materials, geology, and slope were used. Based on the results, 19.04 percent of the total Ilam city was located in areas with high and very high vulnerability, which are mostly located in the central areas of the city and are less safe due to the type of texture and materials used in its construction.
