The Emerging Theory of Urban Resilience, With a Comprehensive Look at All Community Capacities, is Replacing Inefficient Traditional Crisis Management Methods. This study investigates its resistance with regard to the important position of Isfahan metropolis in Iran's urban hierarchy, focusing on artificial environment, especially urban morphology and planning. In this regard, after selection and localization of the indices, in a holistic approach, three independent evaluation methods, including "field and statistical survey", "interviewing experts using Delphi method" and "family opinion survey using 1990 questionnaires", were used for resilience analysis. The methods of statistical analysis, canonical correlation and multivariate regression and SPSS and R-aided software were used. Surveys show a direct and appropriate correlation between the proposed and resilient indicators of "physical-spatial". The studies also show that the resilience values in the "physical-spatial" dimension of the Isfahan metropolitan area are close to average with values of 2.66. We used a five-level Likert scale of 1 (very low) to 5 (excellent). Also, based on the results, the first priority in planning resilience in terms of quantity is the "physical-spatial" dimension and in this dimension, the "Urban planning and morphology" Index, with a score of 2.53, tops the resiliency planning agenda. After that, the "accessibility index" comes in second with a value of 2.61 and finally the "quality of housing" area with a value of 2.69 is in the third priority of planning. The coefficients of the indexes in the "Resilience Predictive Regression Model" with 0.264 for the "Urban planning and morphology" index, 0.164 for the "Housing Quality Index" and with a very low difference, 0.162 for the "Accessibility Index", the same Results Confirms ranking in terms of the weight of the indicators. These results underscore the central role of 'urban planning' in promoting resilience of cities in the event of crises.

Establishing municipal space in spatial situation subordinates especial principles. Respecting principles can increase success and function of discussing elements in located areas; otherwise, it can cause their vulnerabilities. Applying urban planning principles, like planning of using municipal lots، municipal zoning, decentralization, suitable locating, and preventing development of districts adjacent to dangerous lot using can decrease ratio of vulnerability against threats in cities. Commercial buildings as one of the most important elements of the city have a significant role in facilitating crisis management against urban threats and risks in emergency situation. Therefore, in addition to structural and architectural axes, location is one of the most important and principled axis for assessing the vulnerability of large-scale commercial buildings. This research investigates the subject in large scale commercial buildings with developing- practical nature and descriptive method. In this research, evaluating location of huge commercial buildings uses two spatial criteria, skeletal and geographic and natural and environmental. Using swara and smart methods, this research investigates the subject. The results of evaluation of location indicators shows that criteria occurance are urban threats stand (geography and natural) in the first place with 0/5238 scores to crisis management facilitators criteria (skeletal and spatial) with weighing 0/4762. Using the proposed model, large scale commercial building against the threats and municipal hazards can be evaluated vulnerability and each indicator and criterion of these building vulnerability and weaknesses. Indicator of location in evaluating the vulnerability of the studied building equals to 64/9% that, according to adaptability of passive defense aspect, it is categorized as average building.

Since new towns are to meet the needs of the metropolitan population, it is required to acquaint the populations with the new scientific-technical methods and take one more step towards civilisation. Given that the New Town seeks to provide the latest facilities for citizens, a human-oriented approach can be proposed. New Urbanism with a humanistic approach requires coherent and dynamic planning. New structures and the various needs of the New Towns require comprehensive and integrated planning to utilise recent facilities to lead New Towns toward a human-centred attitude. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to analyse the key factors affecting the planning of New Towns with a humanistic approach. The method in this research is a descriptive-analytical survey. In the first step of the research, a list of primary factors involved in planning new cities was identified as research variables, using documentary sources and previous research. Then the research variables were analysed based on the Delphi method. Accordingly, 34 variables were provided in five domains for 50 experts in urban planning issues in the form of questionnaires to be analysed in matrices. The findings of the study are demonstrated in five aspects: cultural-social, physical-spatial, economic, environmental, and governance topics, with 34 components. The results show that citizenship rights, social capital, transparency, accountability, law, participation, consensus, quality of performance and managerial effectiveness, efficiency, economic welfare, sustainable active economy, meeting economic needs, quality of texture, and spirituality have the highest impact and the lowest affectedness on the realisation of human-centred New Urbanism. The results can be useful and effective by establishing integrity and fundamental theoretical principles in planning, implementation and strategic control of New Towns. © 2021 Maliheh Izadi et al., published by Sciendo.
