The volunteers come from different professional background and provide many services. In this regard, this research aims to study the importance and priority of professions in volunteer activities in hospitals. Method: In this applied- development research which the method is descriptive, the researchers made questionnaire used for data collection based on five-point Likert scale. The statistical population includes managers, emergency doctors, and nurses at hospitals of Tehran University of medical science. In addition, 180 people were selected by using random sampling and Cochran formula. To analyze data, descriptive and inferential statistics (one-sample t-test, Friedman, and chi-square test) were used. Findings: The results indicated that among the professions, medical careers (emergency medical technicians, paramedics, nurses, doctors, and nurse assistant) are the most appropriate professions for volunteers. Among the non-medical careers (managers and employees of organizations, installation and army forces) can be useful in volunteer activities for hospitals and medical centers. Conclusion: According to the results, people familiar with the relief activities could play significant role in volunteerism. The non-related jobs to health issues would have been inappropriate for volunteer activities. profession, medical, non-medical, volunteer activities http://jorar.ir/article-1-253-en.html http://jorar.ir/article-1-253-en.pdf

Besides losses of lives, losses related to lifelines such as electric networks, water and sewage system network, transportation infrastructures are also remarkable. So some act to identity and determine the accessible and optimal road after an earthquake for urban transportation activities such as relieving car, ambulances and fire fighting cars, is essential. However, complete and systematic research about this topic has not done. Method: This study is aimed to evaluate the roads and their vulnerability in the event of an earthquake, with 6/5 magnitude in Kashan. At first, a model is introduced to assess damage and vulnerability of road via calculation of the blockage level with considering factors such as building debris density, building characteristics and the relative distance between buildings and roads. Then via extending this model on 57 main roads and 41 homogenous units in the Kashan and information about Kashan urban transportation network in GIS, degree of lateral and longitudinal blockage is estimated and useable maps is visualized. Findings: According to the findings, it should be said that a) the width of the path is one of the factors affecting its obstruction after the earthquake. The wider the path, the greater the cross-sectional obstruction. b) Longitudinal obstruction is more in the old tissue. This is due to the materials used in construction and the instability of the buildings. Conclusion: Due to the characteristics and natural conditions of urban spaces and the density of investment and environmental loads, most large cities, including Kashan, are facing natural disasters, especially earthquakes. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the necessary planning regarding the immunity of cities and their less damage, and any recommendations must be implemented in a suitable organizational context.

More than 90% of the area is located on the earthquake belt referring to the relative hazard zonation map of earthquakes in Iran. In this regard, the seismic vulnerability evaluation in different regions of the country should be a priority in the planning. Method: In this analytical and applied research, introducing different perspectives in relation to vulnerability, firstly, spatial autocorrelation analysis (ARCGIS)is used in order to identify patterns of population distribution in the city of Najaf Abad. Then, a variety of qualitative and quantitative parameters and analytic network process (ANP) is used on the basis of multi-criteria decision approach to analyze the seismic vulnerability in Najafabad. Findings: The results showed the presence of a cluster pattern of population distribution in the city and high population density in the central part of the city and Yazdanshahr town in the southwestern. Also, about 30% of total vulnerability hazard map developed in accordance with the city's high vulnerability zone and 37% of the area were with an average of ​​vulnerability. With the implementation of the zoning map of population distribution, over 51,000 persons (at a density between 70 and 100 ones per hectare) were in high vulnerability. Conclusion: According to new theories such as risk-crisis management, long-term goals can be achieved if the safety of the city against earthquake risk consider as an objective and comprehensive planning at all levels with emphasis on socio-economic factors. vulnerability, hot spots index, network analytic process, earthquake, Najafabad http://jorar.ir/article-1-255-en.html http://jorar.ir/article-1-255-en.pdf
