As a result, the demand for more resilience has not been successful in many cases [2]. Accordingly, the resilience of key urban buildings is one of the necessities of urban resilience [3]. In this regard, research on urban resilience in events such as floods was reviewed, some of the most important of which are mentioned below. In 2019, Wang and colleagues evaluated the resilience of the urban basin to floods, and the CADDIES model was used to simulate floods. Based on the results, vulnerable basins were identified and strategies were developed to increase the city's resilience to floods [4]. In 2019, Barajas et al. worked on an article on the resilience of urban buildings in the face of flood risk in the Mexican metropolitan area, and addressed the resilience of buildings in Mexico City during the floods of recent decades. Findings show that building resilience is a complex and sequential process that of course depends on social, economic and institutional conditions [1]. Research Methods In this research, in order to achieve the model of resilience of important buildings against floods, data analysis is performed in several stages, which include the following: 1- Identification of significant assets 2- Modeling river flow using HecRAS software 3- Adaptation of assets and modeling results from rivers in different return periods 4- Counting assets affected by floods 5- Modeling of building resilience components using structural equation modeling of LISREL software 6-Counting and ranking the components extracted from the model using AHP-TOPSIS combined method 7- Ranking of key buildings affected by floods using AHP-TOPSIS combined method Discussion and conclusion The asset layers of the city of Hamedan and the rivers of the city have been adapted in the GIS context and five buildings of the University of Technology, the Faculty of Art and Architecture, Payam-e Noor University, the Blood Transfusion Building and the Amiran Hotel have been identified as vulnerable centers of Hamedan. Conclusion Components (adaptability-flexibility, connection of failure-safe feedback, dependence on environmental ecosystems, diversity, learning-memory-prediction, performance, response speed, fragmentation redundancy, resourcefulness, and robustness) are effective variables on flood resilience of buildings. In testing the hypothesis using the structural equation model, the software output indicates the suitability of the fitted structural model to test the research hypotheses.
