Abstract

Today, with the emergence of human and natural crises, health is more and more the focus of urban managers and researchers. On the other hand, non-governmental organizations, as one of the executive arms of the people, can play a significant role in controlling the crisis and moving it towards the health of the city. The current research aims to examine the role of non-governmental organizations (Iran and Tehran) in controlling and managing urban crises, especially in the field of health. Therefore, the present research is descriptive-analytical in terms of research method and practical-practical in terms of its purpose. The method of data collection has been two methods, documentary and survey. To measure the research indicators in the scope of the study, the survey method and the tool of the researcher-made questionnaire have been used. The statistical community of the research includes experts and specialists in the city and urban crisis management, due to the lack of clarity of the comprehensive statistical volume, the sampling was non-random-targeted, and its volume was considered until reaching scientific saturation, i.e. 40 people. The results show that they are in a favorable situation in all five areas. In other words, the average obtained in the five desired areas is higher than the assumed average of 3. The lowest average obtained is related to resource mobilization and allocation, which is equal to 3.7536, and the highest is related to the policy dimension with an average of 3.0786.
