@article{ author = {Hodaei, Aliasghar and Mollashahi, Maryam}, title = {Assessment of environmental vulnerability in Taleqan County using analytic hierarchy process}, abstract ={Introduction: Reducing the irreparable damages of natural crises in Iran requires proper understanding of the causes and crisis reduction solutions. In this regard, identifying the severity of vulnerability in different aspects are the major determinants of the crisis including environmental, social, economic, cultural and psychological and preparedness level of the society against them. Therefore, the present paper aims to assess the environmental vulnerability of Taleqan County. Method: In this study combined methods was used. First, Delphi method and then analysis hierarchical process (AHP) method were used. In the first stage, all experts and certified people (30) in the subject matter were selected and studied by using purposeful sampling method in Taleqan County city in Alborz province. In the AHP method, validity and reliability were investigated using exploratory factor analysis. Since the KMO index was 0.879, the sample number was sufficient for analyzing this sampling adequacy. Also, the significance level of Bartlett test was less than 5% and the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was 0.856. The results were also analyzed by using Expert Choice software. Findings: The results show that the central, southern and western parts are located in high vulnerability zone and the northern and somewhat eastern parts are in the low vulnerability zone. Also, Taleqan County River and its slopes is a high-vulnerable zone. Conclusion: Identification and analysis of environmental vulnerability alone cannot entail the preservation and improvement of the quality of the environment, but should be specifically targeted to the development planners in order to carry out development projects in the area with a low level of vulnerability.}, Keywords = {vulnerability, hierarchical analysis, Taleqan County}, volume = {8}, Number = {3}, pages = {1-15}, publisher = {Zamen Publishing}, url = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-366-en.html}, eprint = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-366-en.pdf}, journal = {Quarterly Scientific Journal of Rescue and Relief}, issn = {2008-4544}, eissn = {2008-529x}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {SalehiTadi, Emad and BoroumandJazi, Shahzad and Khani, Naser}, title = {Identifying and prioritizing of the factors affecting the success of the humanitarian supply chain}, abstract ={Intrtoduction: People around the world usually face disasters which lead to death, injury, property damage and disruption of daily activities. These unpleasant experiences related to natural or manmade disasters. Iran is a disaster prone country due to its geographical conditions. However, the factor which facilitates crisis management in natural disasters deals with an integrated chain including of all humanitarian services and components which prepared to help involved people. It is known as humanitarian supply chain. Method: In this applied research which is done to identify the effective factors on success of humanitarian supply chain based on three main groups including organization, environment and technology. The priority of each group is done by using hierarchical analysis and utilizing the information and experiences of 18 experienced managers working in Red Crescent society. By using paired comparison questionnaire, 18 experienced managers working in Red Crescent society were selected and studied. Then the collected data was analyzed via export choice 11. In this research which is based on TOE theory, three main indicators such as organization, environment and technology considered as the main indicators and also 14 sub-indicators were identified such as senior management, human resources, support, strategy and programming, organizational culture, quality management of the situation political rights, social-cultural conditions, geographical conditions, environmental technology, technology education, information systems. Conclusion: According to the results, organizational factor with indicators including human resource management, logistic, strategy and planning, organizational culture, and quality management refer to first priority. Environmental factor including political rights, economy, social culture, geography and technology is the second priority. Technological factor including training technology and communication systems refer to third priority.}, Keywords = {crisis, humanitarian supply chain, organization, environment, technology, hierarchical analysis}, volume = {8}, Number = {3}, pages = {16-26}, publisher = {Zamen Publishing}, url = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-369-en.html}, eprint = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-369-en.pdf}, journal = {Quarterly Scientific Journal of Rescue and Relief}, issn = {2008-4544}, eissn = {2008-529x}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {Javanbakhsh, Marjan and ShafieiMoghadam, Parvin and Sarkeshikian, Seyyed AmirHossein and Jahangiri, Katayou}, title = {Comparative study of physical assistance management training in Iran and the United States from the global perspective – local}, abstract ={Introduction: The most important factor in effective management of natural and man-made disasters is human resources. The least expensive and the shortest time and route to upbringing human resources as valuable assets to provide efficient and effective service in disasters is education. The objective in this survey is curriculum development comparison at U.S.A. Universities “disaster and emergency management” major and Iran institutes “man-made and natural disaster management” major. Method: The research is comparative with interpretative approach. Data is collected by international and national formal informative bases. At first, two curriculum developments in B.Sc. level were compared each other, and then some offers were suggested based on analyzing of their similarities and differences, after categorization of their kinks. Findings: In Iran, despite of interest, talent and occupational requires of students in all center, curriculum development and content in field of science, general management, social science and communication, natural science and disaster, disaster management in both Associate and B.Sc. levels are changeless and invariable. Optional and selective lessons were not designed. Conclusion: The curriculum development and content in both levels and in both man-made and natural disaster is considered according to disaster management global pattern to emphasis on national and local needs. Using of optional, variable and high flexible lessons in the curriculum development and content appropriate to interest, talent and occupational requires of students is suggested to effective disaster management in Iran.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the awareness of relief groups about the warning signs installed on heavy road vehicles. Method: In this descriptive-applied research, all personnel of relief groups (Firefighting, Emergency and Red Crescent) who have been located in Qazvin roads were selected in 2016. According to the official reports, 115 people were studied by using census method. For data gathering, a questionnaire is used to measure the level of awareness of relief personnel in relation to warning signs. Validity and reliability were calculated based on Lawshe’s formula (0.82) and alpha cronbach’s (0.71) respectively. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression tests and SPSS-18. Findings: The results are as follows: the average percentage of responses was exactly 55.1% and firefighters’ awareness was more than other groups. In addition, people with an associate degree, less than 12 years of work experience and ages 33 to 35 years had higher awareness of warning signs installed on heavy road vehicles. Conclusion: According to the significant relationship between education and awareness level of relief staff about warning signs, there are several factors that increase the level of personnel knowledge such as encouraging employees to participate in higher academic levels, holding training courses more about warning signs and dealing with emergencies in road accidents in order to improve personnel’s level of knowledge}, Keywords = {awareness, relief groups, warning signs, heavy vehicles}, volume = {8}, Number = {3}, pages = {48-55}, publisher = {Zamen Publishing}, url = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-367-en.html}, eprint = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-367-en.pdf}, journal = {Quarterly Scientific Journal of Rescue and Relief}, issn = {2008-4544}, eissn = {2008-529x}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {Ferdosi, Masoud and Masoud, Mohammad and NadriFathabad, Sirous}, title = {Hospital Locating with Passive Defense Approach}, abstract ={Introduction: Hospitals as the strong part in providing health services to people considered the first referral place for health care in crises; so locating hospitals in a wrong place leads to both irrecoverable financial losses and human casualties. However, due to the significance of these applications in crisis, the importance of paying attention to the proper principles and criteria become more and more based on passive defense approach in locating and designing them. This study aims to determine the importance items in the locations of hospitals with the passive defense approach. Method: In this review study, the library method and internet searching from databases and specialized journals related to passive defense and locating of hospitals and etc. have been used. Findings: According to the results, hospitals location should be secure and far from incompatible uses. The most significant cases in locating hospitals with a passive defense approach are as follows: safety of hospital location (avoiding of hazardous centers); access to high-speed routes and subway, proximity to densely populated areas, city scattering, proximity to green and open spaces and firefighting centers and away from faults and rivers. Conclusion: The results show that an appropriate location is one of the most important factors in success of a healthcare center. Thus, in order to respond affected people in times of crisis, the hospital location should be chosen so as to minimize damages during natural and man-made disasters and to expand it and also affected people should have easy access.}, Keywords = {locating, hospital, passive defense, disasters, Iran}, volume = {8}, Number = {3}, pages = {56-69}, publisher = {Zamen Publishing}, url = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-370-en.html}, eprint = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-370-en.pdf}, journal = {Quarterly Scientific Journal of Rescue and Relief}, issn = {2008-4544}, eissn = {2008-529x}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {Kafi, Soudeh and Etesami, Maedeh Sadat and Abdollahi, Mohammad Hossein and Shahgholian, Mahnaz}, title = {The relationship between hardiness and resilience with self-efficacy in crisis managers of Red Crescent Society}, abstract ={Introduction: Quality of decision making by managers always affects a wide range of people and this issue is especially important in the midst of crises. In this regard, this research aims to study the relationship between resilience with self-efficacy of disasters managers of Red Crescent society in crises and disasters Method: In this descriptive-correlational study, all managers (2000) were studied. Current, former and retired of 10-years managers (150) were selected with a minimum of management and commanding of two incidents in their work schedule. Data were collected by convenience sampling in three sections: senior, middle and junior managers in Red Crescent societies of Tehran, Gilan, Golestan, Qom, Alborz, Isfahan, West Azerbaijan, Kerman, Sistan and Baluchistan, Yazd and Ilam provinces. Data were gathered by using four questionnaires of Demographics, Barton's Psychological Hardiness, Sherer General Self-Efficacy Scale (SGSES) and et al, and also Conner & Davidson Resilience (CD-RIS). Validity and reliability were measured and confirmed and data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis by using SPSS-22. Findings: According to the results, there is a significant relation between self-efficacy and resilience components. (0.01) However, all sub-components of resilience have a significant correlation with self-efficacy except "spiritual influences" at significance level of 0.01. Meanwhile, not only the total hardiness score is correlated with self-efficacy at a significant level of 0.01, but also the correlation between all the sub-components of hardiness with self-efficacy has also been confirmed. Conclusion: According to the findings which confirm the significant relationship between efficiency, hardiness and resiliency components, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of a manager can be predicted with a reliable approximation based on the level of resilience and hardiness of the manager.

While few of these violations have resulted in the accidents but people are the main victims of the road accidents. This study aimed to evaluate the pattern of pedestrian accidents in the holy city of Mashhad in 2015. Method: This research is a descriptive-applied study which is done in Mashhad in 2015. Data (about 5636 accidents) was investigated and gathered by police reports in standard form in 2012 to 2015. Content validity and reliability were calculated by Lawshe formula (0/83) and Cronbach’s alpha (0/81). Data was analyzed by using SPSS software to determine the frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and Chi-square tests and analysis of variance. Findings: According to the results, 5636 traffic accidents have occurred in the city of Mashhad which 5568 people are injured, 46 died and 22 persons had death- injuries in 2011 to 2015. However, the highest death and injury rate occurred in east of Mashhad. Two of the main causes of the accident are the observance of the right of priority (yield) (38.9%) and not paying attention to the front (19.7%). The highest accident rate occurred in the age groups between 20 and 30 years (13%) and men were more affected than women (62%). Also, wearing dark and black clothing by pedestrians triples the risks of accidents.
