Purpose In Iran, the frequent occurrence of disasters has always been a major problem. In recent decades, disasters have created considerable challenges, especially in cities. Hence, understanding the levels of urban resilience (UR) and planning for addressing vulnerabilities plays a key role in the era of increasing risks and uncertainties. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of resilience of Iranian cities. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review method was used to determine how resilient Iranian cities are. To find relevant studies, the authors searched Iranian and international databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, SID and Magiran. There was no restriction on the inclusion date, meaning that all papers published up until September 16, 2021 were considered for inclusion. The PRISMA framework was used for literature search and selection and, finally, 153 studies focused on 52 cities of Iran were selected for the systematic review. Findings In general, the results showed that the level of resilience was low in Iranian cities. Also, informal settlements, worn-out urban fabrics and the central parts of cities showed lower resilience than other parts. Originality/value The results of the study can be used to inform municipal authorities, urban planners and non-governmental organizations of the actions that need to be taken to enhance the resilience of Iranian cities.

“…Community resilience is considered a "system of systems" [ 12 ] that encompasses various synergies among different resilience capabilities, since it is a combination of multiple interconnected systems, such as economic, social, environmental, and physical systems [ 10 , 13 ]. Given the interdependency between these systems and the cascading impacts of risks or enhancements from one system to another, it is hard to make decisions to reduce disaster risk impacts and enhance resilience, as we cannot consider one system in isolation from others.…”

“…The unpredictability of natural hazards has caused societies to improve the capacity of people to resist and adapt to disasters [3,11]. So, in the last decade, a lot of attention has been paid to the capacities of crisis-stricken societies to return to the normal situation, recover or adapt [12,13]. This issue has caused changes in risk reduction management that pay special attention to resilience as a mechanism to increase the capacity of human societies against hazards in different geographical scales such as cities [14,15].…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate resilience capacities to reduce the impacts of natural disasters (floods) in Konarak city. This study is applied research, which uses descriptive-analytical method to identify and measure dimensions and components resilience of Konarak city. The sample size was estimated using Cochran's formula of 371 households in four neighborhoods of Shomal nirogah gazi, Surak, Nazarabad and Jonoob shahr of Konarak city. To conduct research, first by using library sources, indicators and factors affecting social, economic, institutional, physical, environmental, health-sanitary and individual resilience were identified, and then the field methods and questionnaire were used to collect the required information.In order to analyze the data, the coefficient of multiple correlations such as multiple regression analyses and path analysis were used. The results showed that the level of resilience in the Konarak city is in the social dimension 48.70, economic 38.61, institutional 41.56, physical 31.20, environmental 34.12, health-sanitary 27.48 and individual dimension 39.12, which were in an unfavourable situation. The highest level of resilience is related to the neighbourhoods Shomal nirogah gazi and Surak with 40.95 and 37.81%, respectively, and the lowest level of resilience is for the neighborhoods Nazarabad and Jonoob shahr with 34.22 and 36.05%, respectively. Also, path analysis of resilience shows that in relation to the direct effects of resilience, the social dimension has the highest effect with (0.56) and the next ranks are the economic dimension with (0.51), the environmental dimension (0.41), and the physical dimension (0.39). ), the individual dimension (0.37), the institutional dimension (0.13) and the health-sanitary dimension with (0.10) have influenced the resilience of Konark city. Regarding the indirect effects, social resilience has the highest (0.43) and institutional dimension has the lowest (0.04) indirect impact on the resilience of the sample neighbourhoods of Konarak city.
