Summary:ABSTRACT Earthquakes are disasters that occur suddenly and cause enormous damage. It is vitally important to use knowledge, methods, tools, and strategies to decrease this damage, especially in urban areas. Earthquakes as recurring natural cataclysms have always been a matter of concern in Tehran, the capital of Iran, as the town is located on a number of known and unknown faults. Earthquakes can cause severe physical, psychological, and financial damage. Consequently, some procedures should be developed to assist in modelling potential casualties and their spatial uncertainty. For instance, seismic vulnerability maps should be produced asCONTENTS15.1 Introduction ...256 15.2 Neighborhood Systems Concept ... 257 15.3 Neighborhood Systems and the Granular Computing Model ...258
