When an earthquake occurs, city is affected as a system and not only urban elements are affected by earthquake shocks and its other side effects, but as interaction of system, affects other elements of city. One of the most important elements is road network. Passages blocking roads due to their length and width and may disrupt Relief after earthquake.

Materials and Methods: Methodology of study is based on descriptive nature and method and is applied study in terms of aim. GIS maps of Kerman have been used in order to get the best routes.
