Abstract

Nowadays societies try to prepare some conditions to allow them to return to the pre-crisis condition in a case of a crisis. Recently, there has been an emphasis on endurance rather than vulnerability. Considering the probability of occurring earthquakes in Shiraz and the vulnerability of its historical textures, the present study is seeking to identify the effective factors on resilience of "Sang-e Siah" neighborhood and provide strategies to enhance the resilience of the neighborhood in the face of earthquakes. The nature of the research is practical, the kind is correlational descriptive, the method of collecting data is library and field research. SPSS and EXCEL were used for data processing. SWOT and QSPM techniques were used for analyzing data. The statistical population includes all residents of the neighborhood; the sample is 351 cases selected randomly. To measure resilience, a 4-dimensional model (social, economic, institutional, physical) was used with a combination of DROP and CBDM model. Results: the resilience rate of the Neighborhood is 49.62. The physical dimension has the highest resilience with 60/1 and the economic dimension has the lowest resilience with 39/53. The indexes of "performance of institutions" and "amount of damage" are the most important factors; and the indexes of "attitude" and "access" are the least important ones. According to the results of "Pearson Correlation and Regression Analysis" and path analysis, there is a significant relationship between the components of "social, economic, institutional, physical" and resilience of Neighborhood. Furthermore, aggressive strategies were chosen as the best strategies for promoting the endurance of the neighborhood.
