Abstract:
Given the critical importance of urban resilience in the face of climate change, this paper aims to assess the urban resilience of District 12 in Tehran. District 12 was chosen for its high pollution levels, and the research methodology employed is analytical-descriptive. Data collection relies on library sources and documents, and for analysis, descriptive-inferential statistics including one-sample T-Test and Likert scale are utilized. The statistical population comprises urban planning and meteorological experts. To gauge resilience levels, five variables were identified, each encompassing six components tailored to the region's conditions. The primary objective is to pinpoint components exhibiting poor resilience in response to climate change. Findings indicate a stronger economic dimension of resilience contrasted with a weaker physical dimension, thus suggesting that Region 12 lacks resilience to climate change. The paper offers a comprehensive overview of disasters and provides recommendations for enhancing urban resilience. Studies on climate resilience can prove valuable for urban planners in revising and updating existing plans in the future.
