| The location of the country on the earthquake belt and the issue of earthquake crisis control, by looking at the statistics and recorded records of past and contemporary environmental threats, the fact is revealed that the current crisis management cannot alone be able to deal with the destructive effects of disasters in order to prevent the effects are destructive to vital and sensitive centers and human resources, therefore, it is necessary to apply the principles and criteria of passive defense, which can help to complete the defense chain effectively and significantly. Earthquake is a natural and often destructive phenomenon and event which has received little attention in the urban planning of the country. Most existing studies on reducing damages caused by earthquakes have been around building construction methods to increase the building's resistance against earthquakes. The main focus of the present study is investigating passive earthquake defense in Kermanshah city. According to the goal and in order to identify vulnerable areas against earthquakes, 45 components were identified in the form of 4 natural, physical, social and economic indicators and were investigated with the Aras model. During this research, in parallel with the basic investigations and presentation of theoretical foundations related to the research topic, a panel of experts was formed, and their opinions were collected in the form of a database in Arc GIS software. In addition to earthquake risk zoning, vulnerable spatial and physical development periods were presented based on specific passive defense principles and appropriate solutions to improve the current situation. The research results showed that Regions 8, 4, 1, and 6 have the least vulnerability and Regions 7 and 5. Moreover, 3 and 2 are the most vulnerable. |
