The aim of the research is spatial modeling to assess urban resilience. A group of Delphi experts were involved, in stages, to select the final criteria. Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) by (AHP), the final criteria were ranked according to weight and importance. Criteria maps within a GIS environment were combined with AHP results, to create an Urban Resilience Map (URM). The results showed that (52.19%) of the study area achieved high resilience, (30.86%) medium resilience and (16.95%) low resilience. The results also showed that there are differences between the neighborhoods of the city of Bou-Saâda in terms of resilience that can be determined spatially. The results of this research can be used as a decision aid such as providing suggestions to planners and managers in prioritizing their interventions (such as urban renewal of neighborhoods) by conducting checks on less resilience criteria, in order to support the city's ability to respond to shocks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
