Summary/Abstract: In order to avoid vulnerability to natural hazards, identification of capacities, explanation of the effects of accidents and vulnerability zoning in the community, it is essential to design and implement an appropriate response to disasters in order to build a safe path for sustainable development in the future. Based on this, the present article aims at identifying management solutions to reduce the vulnerability of this region, in order to identify the factors affecting the vulnerability of the area, and then, based on them, to zonate the area against the natural disaster of the earthquake. The present study is based on the nature and method of research-descriptive-analytical and correlation and, in terms of its ability to perform, is a type of development-applied. The data collection method was based on the nature of the research in both libraries and fields. Data collection tools include pinpointing, translating and terminating related texts, digital and non-digital maps, questionnaires and interviews (for determining indicators and criteria in the multi-criteria decision-making process), and geographic software (ArcGIS) for spatial modeling and Preparing spatial layers, MATLAB for the DMATEL method, SUPER Decision To calculate the index weight, python is used to create a tool for sorting the options based on the SSP profile. The statistical population of the study is 6th district of Tehran. The results showed that the vulnerability of the area is located in the south-eastern part of the earthquake. The various indexes studied, such as population density and access to determining vulnerability at the time of the earthquake, are essential. More damage after earthquakes due to limited access to relief and relief supplies to earthquakes.
