متن کاملExplaining the model of City Resilience to Earthquake, Regarding Natural Site of Cities (Case Study: Qazvin city)
Cities are among the most fragile biological settlements due to their complex internal structure and the influence by different variables. Given the realities of these settlements, in the event of devastating events such as earthquakes, these cities are definitely more fragile; consequently, returning to normal life seems to be much longer and costly. Therefore, considering the importance of th...
