Objective: The main objective of the research is to identify key criteria affecting climate resilience and ultimately evaluate and prioritize the neighborhoods of District 18 from the perspective of their climate resilience. In this research, District 18 of Tehran was selected as a case study due to its geographical location and concentration of industrial activities, and its neighborhoods were examined as the unit of analysis.
Method: The method used to determine the climate resilience status in the neighborhoods of District 18 of Tehran was the Simple Weighted Sum (SAW) method. The Shannon entropy method was also used to calculate the weight of the indicators. In the Shannon entropy technique, the weight of each indicator is determined based on the amount of dispersion in the values of each indicator. Finally, using the (SAW) method based on the weight of the indicators and the amount obtained for each of the indicators in each neighborhood, the final status of the neighborhoods of District 18 of Tehran was evaluated with their final score.
Results: The findings and results derived from the Shannon Entropy calculations indicate that, among the evaluated indicators, pedestrian and bicycle pathways, building incompatibility, building quality and resistance, building orientation, undeveloped large-scale land uses, land subsidence, industrial and commercial areas, the number of approved regulations related to climate change-induced disasters, and the number of organizations and institutions involved in disaster management received higher weights. These indicators therefore hold greater significance in determining the climate resilience of neighborhoods in District 18 of Tehran
Conclusions: The results show that Behdasht, Northern Yaftabad, Shadabad, and 17 Shahrivar had the highest climate resilience, while Southern Vali Asr, Shamsabad, and Ferdows had the lowest in District 18 of Tehran. Each neighborhood’s status was then determined based on the desirability of the indicators. |
