Crisis conditions require that there is a plan in advance to reduce its possible damages and losses. According to the report of Geological Society of Iran, Khorramabad city is located in the high-risk zone of earthquake and is vulnerable to earthquakes. Khorramabad is located in a high-risk earthquake fault and is prone to numerous earthquakes. In case of an earthquake in Khorramabad, there is a possibility of extensive destruction, especially in worn-out structures such as areas 5 and 19, where the specific type of tissue in the area multiplies its vulnerability. According to the mentioned content, it is necessary to have a plan in advance to deal with these conditions and reduce its damages, while currently there is no plan to manage the post-crisis conditions, and the spaces allocated for this are not sufficient. The areas of Khorramabad city with problems such as dilapidated texture, contrast of old and new texture, problems of communication network and access, as well as high population density, have been considered as a suitable area for the spatial territory of the research. This research is practical and using quantitative research method and descriptive-analytical approach, it deals with extracting indicators of vulnerability against earthquake and measuring them within the scope of the study. In order to finalize the indicators, the questionnaire of urban science experts was used, and in order to prioritize them, the Analytical Hierarchy (AHP) method was used. The eva‎luation results show that the fabric and urban spaces of the central and southeastern parts of the city are more vulnerable than other areas due to wear and tear, narrow roads, high population density, and the existence of faults. Finally, it seems that it is possible to take steps in order to reduce the vulnerability of the area by adopting strategies to reduce the weakness of physical systems in urban spaces as well as educating and culturalizing the local community in the face of natural disasters.
