introduction: Resilience is the key to urban sustainability, and by reducing vulnerability, it creates a sustainable environment for cities and plays a fundamental role in reducing urban vulnerability to environmental hazards.
Methods: The present research method is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. The aim is to measure the resilience level of District 2 of Karaj and identify its strengths and weaknesses in facing environmental hazards. The research combines data from statistical documents, written reports, and questionnaire data obtained from surveys. The statistical sample consists of 30 experts related to crisis management in District 2 of Karaj, selected through the snowball sampling method. Data analysis was performed using mean statistics, standard deviation, and factor analysis.
Results: The results indicate that enhancing the resilience of this area through improving the quality of physical infrastructure, better construction management, adherence to architectural standards, and urban planning principles can reduce vulnerability and create a sustainable and resilient environment. Additionally, the evaluation of building sustainability shows that the average index in District 2 was 4.45. The average indices for spatial organization were 4.43, geographical characteristics were 4.57, and infrastructure sustainability was 4.8. This indicates a favorable status of resilience and sustainability indices in District 2 of Karaj.
Conclusions: Factor loadings show that the coefficients are above 0.6, confirming the validity of the resilience indices. Therefore, the urban resilience and sustainability of the region can be evaluated as favorable to highly favorable.
Keywords: Spatial-Physical Resilience, Urban Sustainability, Environmental Crises, Vulnerabilities, District 2 of Karaj Metropolitan Area.
