Locating Urban Catalyst Projects in Inefficient Urban Textures with the Regeneration Approach: A Case Study on Tehran

Considering inefficient and old textures and also resolving their instabilities, urban regeneration has become a serious and pivotal subject, in a way that has directed the related organizations to organize and recreate textures and brought up the necessity of intervention. Regarding the regeneration, formation of inefficient urban textures and formation of development stimulus can be a suitable approach for this aim. In these regards, distinguishing utilized zones for implementing development stimulus can be a suitable way to improve the conditions of inefficient textures. The aim of present study with analytic-descriptive approach, is to use 13 social and physical criteria in AHP model framework and perform zoning of area number one in region eighteen in Tehran for locating urban renovating projects. The results of accomplished in the framework of studied case, demonstrates that 2.17 hectare (14.8 percent) of the lands in old texture, show the least amount of capabilities for regeneration (northern parts of area 1 in region 18 in Tehran) and in opposite, 1.13 hectare (7.7 percent) of the studied area, have the most capability for implementing regeneration projects (northern part of Ferdows neighborhood).
