They cause lots of financial and bodily damages. One of the most important programs to be administered by our government is to reduce vulnerability against earthquakes, studies within the administration of strengthening important governmental buildings, and infrastructures in the country. Buildings in schools have a high priority regarding the program mentioned above. The present research has been carried out in schools in Eastern Azerbaijan province especially schools in Tabriz since they are located in an area with a high probability of earthquake occurrences due to the importance of strengthening discussions and the new approach chosen by the schools' renewal organization in improvements regarding the earthquakes and crisis management in the areas mentioned. This research has used a descriptive-measurement method to gather data in the forms of library studies and field studies and has used interview and questionnaire tools in closed formats. Also we have tried to assess critical success factors of projects regarding the viewpoints of scholars in the field within the time period between 2006 and 2014. Results showed that the most important critical success factors were as follows: necessity and emergence of administering strengthening projects, proper administration of administrative details based on technical features, the presence of qualified consultants in the related fields with high administrative capabilities, documentation and creation of the terminal to archive study and administrative experiences. Finally, the proposed guidelines for effective project beneficiaries were presented to direct the set of efforts carried out in the project towards the utilization or halting these factors and to get a better result.
