As an alternative to financial well-being, quality of well-being has become one of the most substantial social goals of communities over several decades. Two keywords, quality of life and social resilience, are direct and bilateral relationships. Indicators of quality of life are indeed realized when available conditions can meet the needs of individuals and users. The potential for change in these indicators against intentional or unintentional changes directly affects the utility and quality of life. Also, a lack of social resilience may result in an accelerated physical deterioration of residential textures. Because changes and crises surely occur, it is necessary to study and plan to be ready and reduce possible vulnerabilities. In this way, the safety of residents will be ensured, and their vulnerability against crisis will be alleviated by creating a network of human communities and physical systems. This study aims to identify the factors affecting social resilience and develop a theoretical framework for its assessment. To do so, the extant study reviews theoretical studies and documentary examination in the first step. The effective factors are classified into two general categories: environmental and nonenvironmental factors. Moreover, environmental factors are divided into three classes physical environment, social environment, and perceptual environment based on the theory of Lyon Spatial Systems to achieve a better understanding of how components depending on the body of residential neighborhoods are affected. In the next step, a questionnaire was distributed in three residential neighborhoods of Babol City to evaluate the proposed theoretical framework. Residents living in these neighborhoods filled out 384 questionnaires. The data collected from questionnaires are analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results obtained from the study indicate the effect of 11 components presented in the theoretical framework on social resilience. Thus, three factors of "skills and abilities," "social interactions," and "resources diversity," respectively have the highest effect on social resilience in the residential neighborhoods.
