Despite more than three decades of early research on resilience, this concept is still lacking in inclusive and operational in various scientific fields, including disaster management. Many of the contradictions in the meaning of resilience arise from cognitive tendencies, methodological approaches, fundamental conceptual differences, as well as views that focus on research into ecological, social, or a combination of both. A resilient city is a city that has the capacity to withstand and accept danger before the collapse of the system. The system of this city is dynamic and changeable. When danger occurs, it absorbs change and returns to equilibrium, the city has the ability to go back and accept the threat. In recent years, research in the field of urban resilience in Iran in scientific and geographical research journals has been increasing and the academic community has become familiar with the need for research in this field. Therefore, this research has been written by meta-analysis method (a systematic method to achieve these goals by statistical analysis of quantitative findings from studies related to a research problem) and with the aim of identifying and categorizing research articles written in the field of urban resilience in geographical journals; After searching and identifying the articles that have dealt directly with the subject in recent years, understanding the approaches and their nature, we examined the structure of the articles including methodology, indicators, sampling, data collection and analysis methods and the results obtained to positive and negative aspects. The results of the research indicate that all articles are a kind of theorizing and have not led to theorizing. Although some researches have provided very good and new models and suggestions, due to the nature of the researches, they cannot be classified as fundamental researches and theorists.

Smart urban growth is the adaptation of the current and future physical, social and economic needs of urban communities based on the three concepts of land use mixing, accessibility and density in urban environments and creating places with unique features to reduce urban development costs and citizens' comfort. The purpose of this study is to investigate and assess the status of intelligent growth in the 5th district of Tabriz. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of methodology. To conduct this research, three indicators of intelligent growth including physical management and protection of open spaces, land use mixing and access and transportation network were studied. In the first part of the research, the physical development of the region was assessed during three time periods of 63, 87 and 95. In the second part of the study, the land use mix of the local access network and the public transport fleet of buses, taxis and subways and the quality of the access network were evaluated. Arc Gis and Google Earth software as well as network analyzer tools and models and Z-score were used in the research process. Findings show that in the dimension of land use mixing index, according to the function of region-area, residential, commercial and tourism and tourism uses have had the highest volume of mixing that the final mixing index was evaluated with a high value of 1.6. In the final part, in order to determine the access status and quality of public fleet services through network analysis tools, considering the distance space of Manhattan in a space of 500 meters, the radius of access to communication routes in ArcMap environment was modeled. For taxis, buses and then subways were evaluated as having the best condition. The results show that the management of physical development in the 5th district of Tabriz is associated with fluctuations and its physical development after the 87th decade onwards takes a reproductive process, the most development process of which is outside the region in It was the eastern border.

In today's world, most urban planners and experts are trying to, employing appropriate strategies, resolve such problems as extreme centralization and regional disparities. Paying attention to the development and strengthening of central cities and recognizing their capabilities and potential could solve many problems. Viewed hence, cognizant of the central cities capabilities and potential and formulating the corollary objectives and planning, this study is an attempt to highlight the necessity of calling attention to these cities in order to regularize urban areas in question. As an applied, developmental study, the method is descriptive. Elaborating on the role and importance of central cities in urban network, library and archival study is drawn on to investigate the current potential of and challenges to Shahriar Country as a middle city, and to outline, referring to expert view, its goals and ways to achieve them. To examine the subject in question, Meta- SWOT software program is used. Examining the situation and identifying and designating the city capabilities and potential and its regional competitors as well, it was found that Shahriar of more proper distance than metropolises of Tehran and Alborz is the most important advantage of the city; appropriate communication infrastructures and affordable housing are also of the highest strategic fit. On the other hand, the parameters including improvement and coordination of higher order projects and an increase of private sector investment have the highest influence, and more proper distance than Tehran and Alborz and the business environment development in the county are of the highest degree of necessity.
