Abstract: (15 Views)
Rural communities are particularly vulnerable to flood damage due to their greater dependence on natural resources, limited infrastructure, and reduced access to relief and support services. Additionally, post-disaster reconstruction and recovery are more challenging for them. With the increasing occurrence of floods in rural areas of Iran, enhancing physical resilience and spatial planning against natural hazards has become necessary. This research identifies and analyzes the factors influencing the physical resilience of flood-prone rural areas in Region Seven of national spatial planning. The study evaluates the impact of eight significant factors, institutional and organizational, environmental, technical and engineering, socio-cultural, economic, political, legal and regulatory, and technological, as critical components of spatial planning for physical resilience against floods. The research follows a descriptive-analytical method and is based on survey data. The statistical population comprises 86 experts involved in crisis management and rural development across the three provinces of Region Seven (Zanjan, Qazvin, and Markazi). The multiple linear regression analysis (path analysis) results reveal that institutional and organizational factors, including appropriate policies, institutional solid structures, and inter-institutional cooperation, play a critical role in enhancing physical resilience, with an overall effect of 0.261, ranking first. Social legal and regulatory factors rank second and third, with overall effects of 0.254 and 0.209, respectively.
