Abstract

According to researchers, social resilience is a condition in which the society adapts to changes that have been made, such as accidents, etc. In other words, the community's ability to respond to emerging crises. The main objective of this research is to investigate the rate of social resilience with the transition approach in urban areas, raising the community's ability to respond to crises. To this end, the district of Hamedan has been selected. The type of research is applied and its method is descriptive-analytical. The sample size for the study area (one in Hamedan) is equal to (384) using the Cochran formula. Data collected by a questionnaire adjusted using Likert scale was analyzed by SPSS software (one way analysis of variance). Finally, according to the results, it was determined that the area of one city in Hamedan is not suitable for social upheaval with transition approach and this region is very weak in terms of the ability to change and adapt and return to the rear after the accident. Finally, in this research, in order to realize the goal of this research, suggestions are presented.
