Abstract
There have been many changes in attitudes regarding risks in recent years, to the point that the international community now views resilience as an important strategy for enhancing communities and cities' ability. In this regard, the DEMATEL method was used to evaluate the cause-and-effect relationships between the criteria, the ANP method was utilized to assess the importance of each criterion, and the VIKOR method was used to rank urban regions of Tehran. In the first step, the criteria affecting resilience in 4 dimensions (environmental, economic, physical, and institutional), 11 criteria, and 31 sub-criteria were selected based on the Delphi method. In the next step, the DEMATEL method was used to investigate the causal relationships of criteria. The findings of the study showed that based on the values (D-R), the environmental dimension with a value of (1.18) was the most effective measure of urban resilience among the four dimensions of urban resilience. Furthermore, the results of ANP showed that disasters and natural hazards in the environmental dimension, urban infrastructure in the physical dimension, and employment rate in the socio-economic dimension had the highest impact among the sub-criteria. Also, the results of the VIKOR method showed that region 4 has a high level of resilience and region 12 has a low level of resilience. In general, it can be said that municipal areas located in the center of Tehran have less resilience to crises than other urban areas. Findings help urban planners and managers consider the criteria of the cause group to define priority prevention programs to increase urban resilience.
