    Urban Planning

    Abstract

    Urban crises are an integral part of the discussion of urban management and this issue takes on a much more complicated form in metropolitan cities, due to the large and growing population of Isfahan metropolis and its location in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, the occurrence of a large earthquake or other natural and human disasters will be very important. was Therefore, it is necessary to seriously pay attention to crisis management to reduce the effects of crises and deal with their negative effects. The damages caused by all kinds of crises often cover most of the parts of a city, and one of the most vulnerable and damaged elements is buildings. One of the dimensions of crisis planning and management deals with retrofitting and optimization of buildings. Therefore, considering the importance of the buildings of the studied organizations that are in charge of crises in cities and have a key role in crises, it seems very important to protect them from the damages caused by crises. As a result, it is necessary to observe the principles of architecture and urban planning in their construction to increase the lifespan of these buildings and reduce their vulnerability, because in In addition to losing their function, the management system of the city will also be paralyzed in case of damage.

    The main objectives of this research are to assess the vulnerability of the buildings of Isfahan crisis management organizations during a crisis and to provide solutions to reduce the vulnerability of the studied units in order to perform their duties before, during and after the crisis. The analysis tool in this research is the use of statistical models and methods in the field of vulnerability analysis using statistical and graphic software such as Spss and Excel and the use of Expert choice and GIS software for data analysis. Also, the location of the buildings of the studied organizations has been shown using the model of the middle center of the spatial distribution. In the following, using the SWOT model, we have presented strategies to reduce the vulnerability of the studied buildings. The results of the research show that among the buildings of health and treatment centers, Zahra Zainabieh Hospital has the most vulnerability with a weight of 0.053 and Alzahra Hospital has the lowest vulnerability with a weight of 0.028. And among the fire stations, Station No. 2 is the most vulnerable with a weight of 0.055 and Station No. 12 is the least vulnerable with a weight of 0.035. Among the rest of the organizations, the urban services building of the municipality of Region 11 with a weight of 0.019 with very low vulnerability ranks first in terms of the lowest level of vulnerability and the Red Crescent building of the city with a weight of 0.113 has the highest level of vulnerability.

    Key words: planning, organizations in charge of crisis, Isfahan city, urban crisis management

    Chapter First

    Generalities of the research

    In this chapter, while explaining the research problem, explanations about the importance and necessity of conducting this research

    are presented and then the background of the research is examined. Also, in line with the research problem, three main goals have been developed, hypotheses corresponding to these goals have been presented, and the research method has been briefly mentioned. At the end, the application of the research results and problems and limitations have also been mentioned. The establishment of the Iranian Plateau on the accident-prone area of ??the planet, including the Himalayan Alpine earthquake belt, the orogenic zone, hot and dry climate, topographic diversity and heterogeneous natural conditions, as well as the rapid social and economic changes and developments of recent decades, such as urbanization, transformation in the economic and technological structure, and being in an economic transition period, have created conditions in which the occurrence of all kinds of environmental and human crises is inevitable..

    Dispersion of cities in vulnerable areas, non-compliance with technical and engineering rules and regulations in the past decades, the old and dilapidated texture of most cities, the existence of buildings and structures that are not durable and the presence of flood currents in some cities are among the important problems that in the event of crises such as earthquakes and floods, intensify its scope and double the depth and extent of the disaster (Organization of Municipalities and Villages Kishore, 1385: 3).

    Due to the high concentration of population, activities and capitals in cities and especially metropolises, with the occurrence of one of the natural and human crises, especially natural crises, there will be many human and financial losses (Adampour, 1387: 4).              

    The city as a living organism has different elements including natural and human with different functions and in mutual relation with each other. As long as these elements act according to their duties, this living ecosystem will continue to survive and dynamism. Sometimes, due to the course of the natural system or human interference, the performance of the elements may be disturbed and they may go out of the natural and balanced conditions and create conditions that we know as the occurrence of unexpected events, both natural and human. As a result, these incidents lead to the creation of critical conditions in the region and the occurrence of problems and disruption of the normal life process (Mahmoodzadeh, 2015: 5). Therefore, one of the most basic measures to reduce casualties caused by crises is "crisis management". Administrative buildings, especially offices that are responsible for management, organization, rescue, warehousing, accommodation and maintenance of the injured, will lose their function as a unit with defined tasks due to damage, in fact the city's management system will also be damaged and paralyzed, and this will delay the post-crisis normalization operation and double the damages (Adampour, 2017: 4) ).              

    Therefore, they should have architectural and urban planning standards to reduce the possibility of their injuries in the event of unexpected dangers and incidents. The studied organizations, such as: Welfare, Red Crescent, Relief Committee, Basij, Governorate, Justice, Health Care Centers, Municipalities, Military and Law Enforcement Centers, Fire Department, Telecommunications Company, Water and Wastewater Company, Electricity Distribution Company, Gas Company in times of crisis as command centers and management institutions and some other centers are responsible for informing and communicating with organizations. As a result, according to the performance and duties of each organization, pay attention to the standards Architecture and urban planning, retrofitting, optimization and security are important and undeniable. Therefore, considering the key role of these organizations in times of crisis and on the other hand, that they can be safe for the injured and the needy, they must have a safe and secure environment with a strong structure and high resistance and low vulnerability so that they can play a role well in times of crisis and after it and show good performance. On the other hand, knowing the level of vulnerability of these buildings during a crisis, measures can be taken to reduce and prevent the occurrence of life and financial losses (Yousfi, 2008: 4).

    Urban crises are an integral part of urban management and this issue takes a much more complicated form in metropolises. And due to the complexity of social organization and the complications caused by the technical structure of metropolises, the issue of urban crisis management in metropolises is different from that of smaller cities. Considering that Isfahan is a metropolis and the large and growing population of this city and its location in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, the occurrence of a large earthquake or other natural and human disasters will be very important, and this shows the need for more attention and research on the condition of the buildings of crisis management organizations in the city of Isfahan.

    1-2- Importance and value of research

    Considering the occurrence of numerous human and natural crises in the cities and metropolises of the world, especially in the third world, it is necessary to seriously pay attention to crisis management to reduce the effects of crises and deal with their negative effects. It is and the buildings are damaged. One of the dimensions of planning and crisis management deals with retrofitting and optimizing buildings. Therefore, considering the importance of the buildings of the studied organizations, which are in charge of the crisis in the cities and have a key role in the crises, it seems very important to protect them from the damages caused by the crises. As a result, the lifespan of these buildings should be increased and their vulnerability reduced by observing the principles of architecture and urban planning in their construction. The importance of the current research is that with field observations and research activities, it is trying to provide very reasonable suggestions to reduce the crisis in Isfahan city.
