Abstract

Today, natural disasters and disasters increasingly threaten human societies, which, if they are not prepared, can cause irreparable damage to human life, including habitat and other economic, social, institutional, and environmental aspects.As a result, communities take a variety of approaches to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. One of these approaches is resilience and resilience to natural disasters.The purpose of this study is spatial analysis of regional resilience against natural hazards in East Azarbaijan province. The purpose of this study is descriptive-analytic in terms of purpose. A library method was used to collect the data. In order to conduct the research, 25 indices were used in the form of 5 variables: social, economic, health, service and infrastructure and environmental variables. In this study, Delphi technique was used to weight the indices and to analyze the data in order to classify the provinces, the parametric technique was used.Also, Kriging method and Arc Gis software have been used for spatial analysis of regional resilience of East Azarbaijan province. The results showed that the cities of Jolfa, Marand and Tabriz are in the first to third rank. The results of Kriging analysis also showed that the resilience status of the study areas in the northeast and southwestern regions of the province are in poor condition and the central ones are in moderate condition and are better in the northwestern regions.And the overall assessment indicates better situation in central areas such as Tabriz and Bostan Abad and Marand.And the overall assessment indicates better situation in central areas such as Tabriz and Bostan Abad and Marand.
