The concept of "resilience" is introduced as a new research direction for cities to withstand uncertain risks in the face of complex challenges such as global environmental changes, accelerated urbanization, and frequent epidemics. To explore the spatiotemporal evolution and obstacle factors of urban natural disaster resilience in Shaanxi Province to enhance resilience against natural disasters. The entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS) method was used to assess resilience levels across four dimensions: economy, society, infrastructure, and ecological environment. The spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of resilience in Shaanxi Province from 2018 to 2022 were examined using a combination of GIS, Theil index, and center-standard deviation ellipse. An obstacle degree diagnosis model was employed to analyze influencing factors. The results indicate that over time, the overall resilience level against natural disasters in cities, except for Xianyang, shows an upward trend. Overall resilience, social resilience, and infrastructure resilience increase, while ecological environment resilience slightly declines. Spatially, the resilience in Shaanxi Province follows a pattern of "Guanzhong region > Northern Shaanxi region > Southern Shaanxi region." The major influencing factors are infrastructure resilience and ecological environment resilience, with the length of urban drainage pipelines and greening coverage area identified as the top obstacles restricting urban resilience. The research findings are expected to provide theoretical references for regional natural disaster management and resilient urban planning in Shaanxi Province.
