One of the goals of urban and rural planners to deal with the adverse effects of natural hazards is to improve the resilience of settlements. The aim of the current study is to measure the resilience of the urban-rural context of Akbarabad, Yazd, against earthquakes and to find ways to improve resilience in rural-urban areas. For this purpose, resilience measurement indicators were confirmed by statistical documentary studies and their validity was confirmed by interviewing 5 experts in this field. Spatial maps were prepared in the GIS environment and based on the weight of each index obtained using the hierarchical analysis technique and map overlap analysis, the final map was created that shows the resilience of different blocks of Akbar Abad rural area. Finally, the approaches of improving resilience for rural and urban contexts were presented. The results of the research show that the resilience of the studied area varies between 18 and 112 units, and the southwest of Akbarabad rural-urban context should be prioritized for improving resilience. Also, the result of the research indicates that it is necessary to strengthen the "physical resilience" of these fields by using the opportunity of high "social resilience". In this regard, by informing the public, increasing the awareness of the residents and completing the information banks of the institutions, it is possible to strengthen the buildings, reduce the harmful uses, and collect the small parts in order to improve the resilience of these areas.
