Abstract
Natural hazards have become one of the main concerns of urban planners and managers in recent years due to their severity and short impact time on human communities. Therefore, in this research, resilience assessment was chosen as a suitable approach to show hazard risks can be reduced. As such, the purpose of this research was to investigate the level of urban resilience against natural hazards in Sanandaj, a city in west of Iran. This research is descriptive and analytical, and the method used falls in the field and survey category. Quantitative data (with distance-relative scale) obtained in this way were analyzed in the form of five indicators (physical, institutional, natural, social, economic) and through the fuzzy AHP evaluation model. In order to draw the spatial difference of resilience indices, WASPAS technique was used. The results show that the institutional index has the first rank with a weight of 0.249. The next ranks are assigned to natural, physical, economic and social indicators respectively. Region 5 of the city is ranked first, Region 1 is ranked second, Region 4 is ranked third, Region 2 is ranked fourth, and Region 3 is ranked fifth.
