Evaluation of the Performance of Vital Services in Urban Crisis Management

Abstract

Crisis management assessment and planning include many components. One of the essential elements is the review and analysis of the structure of the existing situation and the performance of Vital services in the face of critical cases. During the occurrence of natural disasters, the issue of crisis management is crucial in order to reduce the damages caused by the crisis. One thing that reduces the damages is the correct and timely access of critical relief centers such as fire departments, emergency, police force, and crisis management centers to their covered areas. Therefore, in this research, the structure of these vital centers' existing situation and location were investigated first, and the operating radius of these centers was measured according to specific standards. In this research, Network Analyst has been used to analyze 8300 streets, taking into account the average speed limit and the length and width of each street in the GIS to calculate the level of coverage of vital relief agencies. This system uses the Dijkstra algorithm to find the best route, the most straightforward algorithm among all existing algorithms. It also has high power and speed in calculations. In this article, after analyzing the performance of four vital services during crisis management in terms of accessibility and zoning, and prioritization based on the level of high, medium, and poor coverage, and according to the obtained results, it is suggested that a new location for creating new service centers should be established in areas with poor coverage so that the balance in the field of relief is done in the face of future crises. Other urban researchers can use this approach.

“…Table 1 lists the units of Tehran city, including its population, the number of homes, the daily average of the products given, and the number of fruits and vegetables that Tehran households needed to consume annually in 2017. These statistics were extracted from the website of the Urban Statistics and Observation Center, from the subcategories of the Information and Communication Technology Organization of Tehran Municipality [27] .…”

Potential measurement and spatial priorities determination for gas station construction using WLC and GIS

“…Iran is one of the owners of fuel reserves in the world, and for a long time, gasoline and diesel have been used as two common car fuels, like most countries in the world. Population growth and improper development of cities have created many problems for cities, and principled spatial organization of urban services can be very effective to a large extent in regulating the performance of cities [2]. The issue of land and how to use it is considered the leading platform of urban planning [3].…”

Exergy-economic assessment of a hybrid power, cooling and heating generation system based on SOFC

“…The excessive emission of greenhouse gases causes the rising temperature, and then affects the overall emissions of greenhouse gases in Antarctica, resulting in a vicious cycle. In response to the newly proposed goal of "Carbon peak" and "Carbon neutrality", the construction of "zero carbon emission" research station in the different regions can better reflect many countries' attention to clean energy [ 16 ].…”
