Evaluation of urban energy resilience by measuring physical-spatial components (Case study: Tehran District 2)

During the recent decades, irreparable damage and casualties caused by the significant increase in the occurrence of natural disasters all over the world, the approach of resilience in the face of accidents and unexpected events in order to prevent the wastage of urban energy is a global issue facing city managers and a large part of studies and research should be devoted to this and since more than 80% of the world’s energy is consumed in urban areas and due to the increase in population, this share is expected to increase in the future; therefore, achieving urban energy resilience is considered one of the essential aspects of urban resilience, and the topic of energy and urban energy resilience is a necessity for future urban development. unfortunately, despite the existence of many laws and regulations in the field of energy, in the construction industry, energy wastage is very high in our country. in this regard, this research aims to evaluate and analyze the resilience of urban energy, in terms of descriptive-analytical methods and nature. in terms of practical and developmental purpose, considering the research community including 30 urban experts with a non-probability targeted sampling method with a researcher-made questionnaire tool was taken, and by reviewing the literature related to resilience and presenting an abstract concept, it explained the relationship between urban energy resilience and the measurement of physical generators. after collecting the required data, the physical data was analyzed using a spatial model. finally, the spatial analysis results have been done by producing the resilience map of the region in the arc gis environment by overlaying the layers. the results of the spatial study indicate that reducing the effect of physical components leads to a decrease in urban energy resilience, and paying attention to making cities more resilient in order to achieve optimal management and energy conservation of cities is achieved by increasing physical resilience.
