Background: The experiences gained from the occurrence of earthquakes in different countries of the world show that this phenomenon can be accompanied by fire, and in this situation, the resulting crisis management problems will increase. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluation of resilience criteria to deal with post-earthquake fire in city of Tehran using analytic network process.
Methods: In this descriptive study, three criteria including 'management and resource', 'design and financial support' and the 'function of urban infrastructure' and 21 sub-criteria were identified from the similar studies and their screened using the Delphi technique. Then the criteria and sub-criteria of each criterion were subjected to pairwise comparisons and weighting. The internal relationships between the criteria were determined using DEMATEL technique; also, the final prioritization and weighting of the results were done using ANP and DEMATEL via the Super Decisions software. In so doing, 10 experts of Tehran Fire Protection Organization were selected in a non-probabilistic way to respond.
Results: Based on the results obtained, 'management and resource' criterion with a final weight of 0.475 had the first priority among the other criteria and also had the most effectiveness and highest level of influence and interaction. Meanwhile, 'design of earthquake-resistant and fireproof buildings' sub-criterion with a final weight of 0.095 had the first priority among the others.
Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be argued that the formation of the disaster management headquarters will be necessary to proper management and allocating required resources for predicting new situation after earthquake and to propose the best solution for each possible scenario. Also we can say that all of these strategies should be practiced by maneuvers and necessary equipment and resources should be provided in different parts of the city. But there is a point here that we should be careful in counstructing new buildings in different areas with regarding to the latest map of Tehran faults. And in this field, using noval technologies to strengthen buildings against earthquakes would be necessary. |
