Abstrakt: The occurrence of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes has devastating effects on geographical areas, especially rural areas. Such incidents often endanger the health of residents by destroying economic resources and welfare facilities and are always a serious threat to the development of rural areas. In this regard, the aim of the current research is to spatially analyze the extent to which the local community has economic factors affecting resilience against environmental hazards in the villages of Sistan region. This research has been carried out in a descriptive-analytical way, the statistical population of the research included all heads of households in 373 villages with more than 50 households in Sistan region in 1401, using Cochran's formula, 189 heads of households were randomly selected as a sample. was selected and WASPAS and SPSS software were used for data analysis. Friedman's test has been used to examine the difference between indicators of economic factors affecting villagers' resilience against environmental hazards. With a significance level of chi-square (1216.77) lower than 0.05, it can be asserted statistically, with 95% confidence, that the economic factors influencing villagers' resilience exhibit significant variations among them and are generalizable to the broader society. The results of the regression test regarding the effect of economic factors on the resilience of rural communities in Sistan region indicate that the multiple correlation between economic factors and resilience is equal to the coefficient of determination (R2=0.003), which shows that Economic factors have no effect on the resilience of villagers in Sistan region. Also, the results of the WASPAS ranking technique confirm that the villagers located in Nimroz and Hirmand cities have the highest level of economic resilience against natural hazards and the villagers located in Hamon city have the lowest level of economic resilience against hazards. They are natural. Finally, it can be said that by increasing the resilience of rural communities in dealing with natural hazards and giving necessary knowledge to villagers in this field, the stability of rural areas can be provided.
