Abstract
Cities are complex and highly interdependent systems that are vulnerable to various risks. Considering the growth of cities and their expansion, the approach of urban resilience is one of the most vital solutions to resolve this vulnerability. This study has been done to investigate urban resilience studies against climate change in Iran using the meta-analysis method. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and its nature is applied-developmental.
The statistical population of the research consists of authoritative and approved quarterly journals of the Ministry of Science, internal conferences, and theses from universities. The findings show that since 2013, there has been an increased focus on the issue of urban resilience against climate change, with researchers and geographers paying extra special attention to this topic. The studies reveal that the ecological and environmental dimensions And the identification and discussion of resilience dimensions and indicators are evident in most studies.
Case studies in the research have generally focused on large cities in Iran. Due to the impacts of climate change, cities need to be resilient against these challenges, and this research highlights the importance of investigating this issue. The results indicate that cities have visible weaknesses in terms of resilience, particularly in the social and physical dimensions. These weaknesses are more pronounced in larger cities experiencing population growth.
This research also shows that many gaps have been identified in this field, and researchers should pay attention to these in their future studies.
