Abstract

Natural disasters and the need to facilitate and relief the consequences of such disasters has initiated global crisis in its respective management. Reducing the variabilities of inhabitants requires the integrated system to battle against such devastations and crises. This research presents the application of Delfi method to identify the influential factors on risk management model risk management model for the wooden structures in Iran. The statistical population of the study consisted of the academic and organizational experts. A total of 30 individuals were interviewed using a purposive non-random sampling technique as well as data adequacy and saturation principle. A semi-structured interview was used to collect the required data. Delfi method was applied for data analysis in qualitative section. The results indicated that 43 risk factors are influential in wooden structures which can be classified as internal and external risks. Among these risk factors, 11 are considered as the major factors which influences the application of risk management in construction of wood structures in earthquake prone regions of Iran.
