Abstract
Basically, the crisis has devastating effects on human settlements and inflicts heavy human and
financial losses on their residents. At the same time, the resilience of the city has a direct impact
on the human casualties caused by the crisis. Therefore, resilience to the crisis and reduction of
its consequences, given the positive results it will have, is essential. Therefore, in this study to
Measuring the Coefficient of Resiliency City against the Crisis (Case study: Zahedan). The
research method is descriptive-analytical according to the research topic and the purpose is
applied and the data have been collected by both documentary and survey methods. To analyze
the data from the ANP model and geographic information system (GIS) is used. The results of
the analysis show that an area of about 310 hectares has very low resilience, 435 hectares low
resilience, 1325 hectares moderate resilience, 1107 hectares relatively high and 1205 hectares
high resilience.
