Natural disasters are considered as part of the inescapable facts the control of whose occurrence is largely outside of human power. Therefore, natural disasters always have been important issues in biological communities and confronting with the disasters, and harmful effects have been the long-term goals of the communities. The flood phenomenon is considered as one of the unforeseen events and devastating in rural areas of the country. Management of natural disasters, especially floods, is a collection of actions that occurred before, during and after the occurrence of disasters to reduce more effects and damages.Today the approach of response to disasters as command-control structure, has been focused and technology-oriented and is displaced with a new approach called community-based management. It emphasizes on cultures, abilities, knowledge and capacity of existing local communities. In fact, without a comprehensive and systematic look, regarding all aspects of economic, social-institutional and environmental problems in large part is far from achieving. In this regard, the rural communities isn’t far this process and always has been subjected to flooding and its effects, and the other hand, rural area in this study (Zangmar River Basin) and livelihood and activities of residents are affected by flooding constantly and create many financial damages and losses of life for villagers. In this study, for data requirements, both library and field mode (questionnaires and observations) have been used. To cover the whole basin among villages (that were in three ranges of high, medium and lowvulnerability intotal of 63 villages), 21 villages were randomly selected. Then, by using the Cocoran formula taotal of 292 households were identified as samples. Also from 50 groups of officials among 5 organizations related to flood affairs in villages we selected samples and correlation test, we used one sample T test and variance analysis. The results of this research indicate that in all aspects of participation, both villagers and officials group believe in participation in the period before and after the flood disaster, and also there are largel similarities between approaches of two groups of officials and rural people into rate, type and period of participation in flood management in flood risk areas in the field of case study

One of the issues involved the more world large cities is the issue of natural disasters. Regarding the nature of being unexpected most of the natural occurrences and the necessity of a quick and accurate decisions-making, operation and theoretical and basic concepts have generated a knowledge called “crisis management”. To identify the urban crisis management and vulnerability of the centers related to the crisis of a city against natural disasters, its need to study the main factors effective in urban crisis management vulnerability. One of the effective factors in urban crisis management vulnerability is the structural and non-structural construction of organization related to the crisis management including the hospitals of the city. Health care and remedial centers especially the hospitals are such as the important places encountered with serious hazards and damages with a high rate of injuries and losses during the occurrence of natural events and accidents. Therefore, studying this issue in these centers seems to be very important.
The aim of this article is to rank the hospitals of Esfahan’s urban zones from the view of structural and non-structural construction and to achieve the structural and non-structural priorities of the city hospitals in order of their importance in increasing the vulnerability regarding to the studying indices. The survey method is “descriptive-analytic” in which the quantitative models have been applied. For a hierarchy analysis about the crisis management of Isfahan's hospitals, 41 variables at 9 basic factors in 25 hospitals were studied using the analytical hierarchy process (A. H. P). The results obtained from A.H.P. show different indices in which the factors of framework; type, building age and the number of beds with the importance rate of 11.959, 21.12 and 22.65 are in the first orders, respectively.
In fact, these factors cause the increase of vulnerability in the hospitals of the city if no enough attention is paid to when constructing and equipping. Moreover, the hospital of zones 1 and 3 hare the highest rates of vulnerability among the hospital of the city. Hence, the presence of difference in the rate of hospitals vulnerability at different zones of Esfahan is validated from the viewpoint of the structural and non-structural construction (the survey hypothesis).
