Background and Aim: Natural disasters are a reality that has affected a significant part of rural areas today. Due to the fact that in some cases it is not possible to prevent the occurrence of these natural disasters, so it is very important to study the degree of resilience against natural disasters/ The purpose of this article is to investigate the resilience of residents of rural areas of Kermanshah province in the face of natural disasters in Kermanshah province.
Method: The statistical population includes 14 cities of Kermanshah province and over 270 questionnaires. The reliability of the study was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha and the validity was confirmed by experts in geography and social sciences.
Findings: The results show that the level of satisfaction with the performance of local managers in order to improve resilience is low. Because the total average obtained is 8. 2 out of 5   compared to 3 less. According to the regression results of social, economic, environmental, infrastructural and beta (beta) factors, it can be said that future management factors can have the greatest impact on improving the resilience of local communities against natural disasters. And is in the next rank of social factors.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that indigenous people are very sensitive to earthquakes and there is a kind of fear and panic among them. The recent earthquake in Kermanshah has increased this fear and concern.
Infrastructure is also vulnerable. Respondents believe that the infrastructure is inadequate and they are vulnerable to risks. Impressive infrastructures such as access to villages in the region from the national gas network, access to hospital treatment centers, emergency rooms, pharmacies and health centers, access to relief institutions (Red Crescent) or crisis management center, access to police and law enforcement, access to fire Address, access to temporary accommodation and access to the main thoroughfare network are all in poor condition.
