The statistical population is households living in 6 villages of Saman watershed.Using Cochran's formula, the required number of samples to complete the questionnaire of 110 households was obtained.Validity and reliability were calculated as 0.84.In order to measure socio-economic resilience, heads of households were evaluated.Compilation of indicators for measuring the social and economic components of human settlements against water fluctuations was developed based on the concept of resilience.After collecting the data in the form of a field questionnaire and using spatial analysis tools and capabilities of statistical software and GIS was assessed. Findings indicate that the resilience of villages is not in an acceptable stateAmong the two dimensions of resilience, economic dimension factors with the lowest average and social dimension factors with the average had the most impact on rural resilience.According to the real mean t-test, the general opinion of the respondents is less than 3 and down to the average.Saman and Yaryabad villages have been more resilient in the economic dimension of water fluctuations.In the social sector, the averages were approximately close to each other and the highest social resilience was in the villages of Chaharhad, Yaryabad and VarkbarOlya. which received above average 3.In total, the two socio-economic resilience indices of the villages did not achieve an average of 3, which indicates the low resilience of the range.
