Parks, as urban green spaces, play a key role in providing emergency services during crises and can function as temporary shelters, gathering points, and even centers for offering basic services. The aim of this study is to investigate and analyze the physical and managerial criteria influencing the equipping of emergency shelter spaces in future cities, with a focus on the urban green spaces of Astara. This research is applied in nature and methodologically designed as both quantitative and qualitative. Data was collected using a questionnaire, which included various items related to physical and managerial aspects to gather quantitative data from experts. Additionally, data from the city of Astara was used to analyze the current state of parks and the related needs for emergency shelter spaces. Data analysis was conducted using t-tests in SPSS and factor analysis. The findings indicated that physical elements such as infrastructure quality (2.58), suitability of green space (2.50), and structural safety (2.4) were in an unfavorable condition. On the other hand, in the managerial dimension, the level of management preparedness for crisis response (3.47) and quick access to parks (3.07) performed better compared to other variables. Factor analysis identified five components: resilience and managerial preparedness, efficiency and accessibility, crisis-time management effectiveness, integrated infrastructure and safety, and managerial and equipment sustainability. Ultimately, the study reveals that the green spaces in Astara are currently unable to fulfill their effective role during crises and require improvements in both physical and managerial aspects. Therefore, to enhance urban resilience, attention to these factors is essential.
