Abstract[1]
One of the main challenges in the urban development process in developing countries is their accelerated growth, which, if this growth issporadic and unplanned,it will pose a lot of problems to the urban management process and planning.The city of Ahwaz is one of the cities in our country that has witnessed arapid and scattered growth in urban land development in recent years. According to the status map of the urban land development, this trend has been intensifying year by year and has led to challenges in providing services and infrastructural resources in the city. In this regard, due to the necessity of the issue, in the present study, we tried to use a descriptive-analytical method to evaluate land use changes in the metropolis of Ahwaz between 1989 and 2013. Data collection in descriptive section was done through the study of library documents, and in the analytical part of the research, by extraction of satellite images TM (Thematic Mapper) for the years of 1985 and 2013 from Ahwaz city. Envi 4.8 and Arc GIS 10.2 software have been used to perform statistical and visual analyzes on satellite imagery. The results show that during the years 1989 to 2013 about 23 percent of the share of barren and agricultural lands have decreased and on the other side the share of built-up lands has increasedfrom 16.35 to 34.55, most of which are related to the Southern and Eastern parts of Ahwaz (Parts of areas 4, 5 and 6 of the municipality).

Urban road network is one of the most important urban arteries which has a significant impact on the relief and rescue operations, the evacuation of the injured and harmed people, especially after the crisis. Therefore, assessing the vulnerability of urban road network and planning to reduce these harms is necessary. This descriptive-analytical research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the urban road network against earthquake by crisis management approach in region 1 of the city of Tabriz. In order to assess the vulnerability of urban road network of Tabriz region 1, three criteria of confinement degree, density, and constructional characteristics were selected. The density criterion includes the sub-criteria of population density and constructional density and the criterion of building characteristics includes five sub-criteria ofage of the building, the quality of the building, type of use, occupation level and type of materials. Each one of these sub-criteria has several sub-criteria as well, which were evaluated by Delphi method. Finally, after assessing the vulnerability of the roads in each sub-criterion, the layers were overlaid by the Multi-criteria Evaluation (MCE) method in the form of IDRISI software. The final results indicate that the vulnerability of the study area roads network (excludingthe newly built neighborhoods) is more than moderate, and is mostly high and very high.The vulnerability of the roads networkis more common in informal residential neighborhoods which should be considered as a priority in planning.
