Abstract

One of the major problems of urban areas is natural disasters which threatens the life of many urban residents. As the statistical reports show, it imposes more than 150000 deaths and over 140 billion dollars of financial damages as annual average world wide especially in developing countries. Iran is among the most hazardous prone area of the world by experiencing many destructive EARTHQUAKEs notably Boeenzahra 1963 and Bam 2001. This paper aims to analyze and investigate the aspects of prevention of EARTHQUAKE crisis in the seventeen neighborhoods of BABOL. The research, which is based on descriptive and analytical method, means to analyze the different physical and demographical characteristics of the city which contribute to the EARTHQUAKE VULNERABILITY and also to examine the equipment of aid agencies and fire stations. The comparative method was applied for conclusion and determining the level of VULNERABILITY. Observation and questionnaires have been the main tools of the research. Moreover, SWOT technique was used to present strategies and necessary measures and then the timing table was constructed to guide urban authorities. The results revealed that neighborhoods of 2, 4, 9, and 10 had the highest level of EARTHQUAKE VULNERABILITY; the neighborhoods 7 and 8 showed a lower physical VULNERABILITY level. The study concluded that there is an urgent need to review the detail plan and also housing renovation especially in the old parts of the city. Creating two new sites for emergency aids and rescue could prevent and mitigate the level of human casualties and financial losses.
