Abstract:
Disaster Management and current approaches in this field in one hand only has focused to physical vulnerabilities and in the other hand has included consequential action to reduce vulnerability and improve physical preparation as well as resistance institutional insignificant during the disaster. Therefore, these approaches usually have ignored the capabilities and capacities of residents to reduce vulnerabilities and consequently losses and damage. While recent approaches have entered, the field of disaster management emphasized that at first vulnerability is beyond the physical vulnerabilities and second vulnerabilities have an inverse relationship with the resident’s capacity in the face of disaster. So, community-based disaster risk management need to recognize indicators of vulnerability and community capacity and its relationship is essential. Accordingly, in the first step, the indicators of community capacity and community vulnerability are provided and in the second step based on these indicators, community capacity and vulnerability have been assessed. The assessment of community characters is based on GIS capabilities, spatial analysis tools and SPSS and correlation regression is used for analyzing the relationship of the variables. The results and findings of this research indicate that the vulnerability of urban areas is not only influenced by physical factors, but also social and organizational factors like community organizing and community educating have affected strongly the vulnerability.

ABSTRACT: Keywords: Vulnerability, Capacity, Correlation, Factor analysis, Regression analysis INTRODUCTION Current attitudes in the field of disaster management in developed countries and developing have been significant developments due to space and time circumstance.
Finally, based on statistical analysis and GIS tools, a correlation between these two factors will be measured and the impact of each of the indicators on community capacity to prioritize implementation solutions and reduce the vulnerability of verified.
The social layers plays an essential role in disaster management process and reduce or increase community capacity can have a significant role in the urban vulnerability.

Accordingly disaster Management process should focus not only on strengthening physical aspects but also other topics such as community education, community organizing in the form of non-governmental organizations and community-based ones, and other factors related to the community capacity should be considered."
