        <Abstract>Surveying about city seismic vulnerability is one of the urban management requirements. Using an
appropriate model with different spatial and non-spatial data and conducting relevant analysis in Geographic
Information System and Multi Criteria Decision model can be as useful tools in urban management. The objective of
this study is assessing the vulnerability potential of the region 5 of Tehran using logistic regression model. In this
study, 14 indicators are used to estimate the vulnerability: Substructure's area of all floors in the block, distance from
crisis management centers, Block's area, distance from Gas reducer center and Transmission substation, block's
population, Access to communication road, old texture regions, distance from parks and green space, distance from gas
and gasoline stations, distance from fault, distance from fire station centers, distance from hospitals and health centers,
Average of the block's floor, Slope of the region. Output from 0.83 to 1 class of the SAW model is used as dependent
variable to generate the vulnerability distribution map for Logistic regression analysis in IDRISI software. As a result,
blocks population (with value of 37.05) and average of the block's floor (with coefficient of 11.6) have the greatest
impact on vulnerability. Roc criterion is used for the evaluation of model. The value for this criterion is calculated as
0.996 which shows strong relationship with the values obtained from the logistic regression model.</Abstract>
