Abstract
Abstract: Disaster management and sustainable development theories and perspectives aim to build resilient communities against natural hazards. As such, many researchers consider resilience one of the most critical factors in achieving sustainability. Physical resilience, particularly in housing, is a key dimension influencing community resilience, as it allows for assessing the condition of communities based on physical and geographical characteristics during disasters. This study Assessing the Physical Resilience of Residential Zones in Jajarm City Against Earthquakes. The research is applied in purpose, quantitative in nature, and descriptive-analytical in method. Data were collected through library (documentary) studies, field surveys, and spatial data. The statistical population consisted of 20 experts (managers, professors, specialists, and professionals from disaster management-related organizations in Jajarm) selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using ArcGIS software and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method. The results indicate that out of Jajarm's 438-hectare urban area, 89 hectares (20.31%) are in a completely unsuitable condition, 122 hectares (27.85%) unsuitable, 105 hectares (23.97%) moderate, 67 hectares (15.29%) suitable, and only 55 hectares (12.55%) in a completely suitable condition.
