Abstract

The growth of the world's urban population in the last century and the environmental changes resulting from urbanization and urbanization have led to unbalanced urban development and disintegration of natural habitats, which has led to climate change and the environment, increasing the frequency and severity of accidents and intensifying natural disasters. It has become like an earthquake in cities.

Relying on their internal capacity, cities must be able to survive and grow in the face of global environmental change. However, the morphology of cities may be unchangeable and inflexible and its properties have a direct impact on social and economic changes and the urban environment, or vice versa can reduce damage and increase the capacity of cities to respond to shocks.

In this research, using descriptive-analytical method and factor analysis, researchers seek to identify and explain the main components of urban morphology and resilience on a large and medium scale. The results of the analysis obtained from the research showed that according to the factor analysis method, finally six main factors will affect the rate of integrated resilience of cities in terms of urban morphology, which are: 1. Connectivity and network interconnection, 2. Intersection and network density Communications, 3. The rate of inequality and distribution of facilities, 4. The proportion of roads that can be used in times of crisis, 5. Education and social awareness, 6. The rate of employment and unemployment.
