The relationship between urban development and economic resilience in the against earthquakes reflects the complex interplay between physical planning and economic capacities, such that any negligence in urban management can lead to disastrous consequences. In this regard, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of urban development on the economic resilience of Bojnord city against earthquakes. This research is applied in purpose, employs a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach in nature, and follows a descriptive-analytical survey method. The study utilized two sampling methods: (a) residents of Bojnord (228,931 people), from which 384 individuals were selected as the sample using Cochran's formula with a 95% confidence level, and (b) urban management experts and elites, where 30 individuals were chosen through purposive sampling based on professional criteria. This mixed (quantitative-qualitative) approach led to a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between urban development and economic resilience against earthquakes. For data analysis, the Delphi model (to localize the examined indicators) and SPSS software (utilizing one-sample t-tests, regression, and path analysis) were employed. First, the research indicators were validated and localized using expert opinions. The results indicated that Bojnord economic resilience against earthquakes in key indicators (resistant infrastructure, strategic reserves, and training) was below the standard level (means <3), although economic diversity and the financial sector performed better. Correlation and regression analyses did not reveal a significant relationship between urban growth and economic resilience. However, path analysis demonstrated that urban development indicators (particularly institutional-managerial and physical aspects) had stronger indirect effects than direct effects on resilience, highlighting the critical role of integrated planning and urban governance in enhancing resilience.
