Analyzing Important Components that Increase Vulnerability to Natural Disasters

Abstract

During the last three decades, the 4th district of Tehran has been facing an average annual population growth greater than the whole of Tehran and is considered one of the most populous areas. This region has significant diversity in terms of the economic, social, and cultural context of its residents. On the one hand, in this area, there are areas and neighborhoods such as Khaq Sefid and Shamiran No, which are considered to be the residences of the poorest and lowest-income social strata of Tehran. The regional crisis management plan, which was prepared in the form of crisis management of the whole city of Tehran, lacks a strategic and comprehensive approach on the one hand, and it is said to be different from other national, regional, and local plans (national and regional). In the crisis management plan of the city of Tehran, area 4 is considered as the relief and rescue area of the whole city. This weakness has also caused that in preparing the framework of the regional crisis management plan, both in terms of headquarters planning and organizational-executive dimensions and social, economic, and environmental factors in the current situation of the region, which happens to be one of the main causes of aggravation or increase They are considered to be the cause of the region's vulnerability to possible earthquakes, they have not been taken into account. In other words, planning for crisis management in the region must be consistent with other physical-physical, social-economic, and environmental planning.
