INTRODUCTION: Natural disasters, especially earthquakes, are phenomena that will cause great damage if not properly dealt with. Therefore, appropriate urban planning and resilience by understanding the nature of disasters and the capacity of cities are factors that play an effective role in reducing damage and ensuring the peace and safety of citizens, leading to a significant reduction in the level of vulnerability. In this study, land use planning was investigated to assess earthquake resilience in the city of Abdanan.
METHODS: This research is descriptive-analytical with a quantitative approach. In order to collect data related to literature and theoretical foundations, library and document resources, reliable articles and websites, and existing studies were used along with field work. To collect information related to the case study (Abdanan region), related organs and organizations, especially the municipality, were consulted, and the data obtained was extracted using the capabilities of GIS software in the field of processing and combining layers, and final maps were extracted.
FINDINGS: According to the research findings, out of a total of 6,653 households living in the city of Abdanan, more than half live in a very high and high earthquake hazard zone. On the other hand, the central and old areas of the city do not have suitable conditions in terms of resilience in terms of criteria involved in improving the urban structure, such as the type of structures and the quality of building materials, the age of buildings, buildings density, urban road network, access to open spaces, population density, and towards the development of the city, and in the event of a possible earthquake, high damages will occur.
CONCLUSION: The results show that urban land use planning in the city of Abdanan, which has been implemented in the form of comprehensive urban plans, has not led to improving the resilience of this city in dealing with a possible earthquake.
