Urbanization
can make cities vulnerable to disasters, especially in developing countries,
where infrastructures and services are poorly developed. Additionally, rapid
urbanization has high economic, social, and environmental costs. Some include
access to essential services, unsustainable use of natural resources, air and
water pollution, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. A city's resilience can
be enhanced by employing strategies that will improve the urban environment,
such as permaculture. In this study, we developed a measure based on expert
opinions to estimate the influence of permaculture areas on urban resilience in
Istanbul. Based on the literature, we determined all parameters and indicators
of urban resilience and organized them towards three major threats: earthquakes,
climate change, and epidemics, based on expert opinions. We then used a
questionnaire for permaculture specialists to estimate the relative importance
of each parameter by using an AHP procedure. The total number of criteria we
decided and weighted has been 26 indicators under seven parameters. In the next
phase of the study, we plan to apply the procedure to a real case in Istanbul.
