AB  - Due to population growth and increasing urbanization, natural disasters like earthquakes can cause heavy losses and hinder the development of cities and countries. The need to reduce the vulnerability of cities against the earthquake is regarded as one of the main objectives of physical planning, urban planning and urban design. Old and problematic urban textures and suburb and informal settlements are more at the risk of earthquake than other urban areas in developing countries (like Iran). These textures are most at risk due to reasons such as lack of observing engineering and technical standards in construction being located at slopes and inappropriate lands, ineffective communication networks, lack of open space, lack of urban facilities and equipment and so on. This study aims to investigate the vulnerability of school buildings in Babol and to put forward proposals in order to deal with possible damages.
