Background and Objective: Today, uncontrolled physical expansion and unsustainable land consumption are considered among the most significant threats to urban resilience. In mountainous and peripheral areas such as Oshan, Fasham, and Meygun, these challenges have intensified impacts due to specific topographic conditions and high ecological values. This study aims to evaluate urban resilience with an emphasis on sustainable land consumption management in these three areas.
Methodology: The research method is descriptive analytical, and the data were collected through questionnaires distributed among 45 experts in the fields of urban planning and environmental studies. For assessment and prioritization, the Combined Compromise Solution (COCOSO) multi-criteria decision-making method was applied, in which nine indicators across three dimensions environmental physical, economic infrastructural, and institutional social were incorporated into the model as evaluation criteria.
Results and Findings: The results indicate that Oshan ranks first in terms of urban resilience, with a score of 3.074, reflecting more successful management of land consumption patterns and the physical structure of the city. Fasham and Meygun rank second and third, with scores of 2.379 and 1.560, respectively. This situation reveals relative weaknesses, particularly in Meygun, in sustainable land management and an increased level of vulnerability to hazards. These findings underscore the necessity of adopting a prioritization-oriented approach in urban policymaking, so that through targeted allocation of resources to lower-ranked areas, the overall level of regional resilience can be enhanced.
