Abstract	Devastating earthquakes in Iran as an earthquake prone country have often resulted in enormous environmental, economical and cultural heritage damage, loss of life and threats to health. Experiences from the past disasters put a great emphasis on relief and rescue operations. Yazd is an ancient city in Iran which has several historical districts with a very old fabric that’s absolutely unsafe against earthquakes. Fahadan district is the oldest and the most significant district in Yazd city with unique urban texture and famous historical buildings. In this paper it has been attempted to determine and prioritize the most important factors influencing rescue operations in old regions such as Fahadan district. Distance to rescue centers, roads width, distance to open areas, buildings quality, population density and buildings age were determined as the research criteria. Geographic information systems (GIS) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) have been combined to evaluate the capability of rescue operations in the district and to illustrate its most difficult locations to perform relief and rescue services.
