The results of the Delphi analysis showed that these factors are categorized into three components: macro-structural 48%, intermediate 30% and micro-22%. The effective component in determining the feasibility components of the city with the approach of measuring the capacity of NGOs against crises (case study: Miyaneh County) with 3 components are introduced separately: macro (structural) components with 4 indicators, intermediate with 4 indicators, micro components with 4 indicators.
