Abstract

Assessing and planning crisis management with a natural disaster approach involves many components. In this regard, one of the basic pillars of crisis management is resilience. With this view, paying attention to the current and future planning and research priorities of our country shows that crisis management in flood-prone areas is one of the most important priorities for sustainable development studies and planning in the country. Khuzestan region has a special place due to its prominent flood characteristics. An examination of the current situation shows that despite the many efforts that are being made. Climatic and environmental conditions of rivers, basin settlements, existing spaces and completed constructions and incorrect location management of infrastructures indicate many challenges in managing the current situation in various components of crisis management. . The type of research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical and exploratory in terms of method and nature. In this research, practical strategies are presented while analyzing the causes of floods and flood zoning and flood damage. The type of research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical and exploratory in terms of method and nature. In this research, using satellite images and GIS system and field surveys, the causes of floods have been investigated and analyzed, and after zoning the flooded areas and flood damage, practical strategies to increase flood resilience have been presented.
