Abstract

The worn-out textures make up a wide area in the Iranian cities that are taken out of the urban living space and turned into problematic parts of the cities due to their problems. In addition to physical issues and problems, these textures degrade the urban spaces. Therefore, every country tries to solve such problems based on its facilities. Realizing such an objective requires extensive studies, recognition of the environmental-physical aspects, and investigation of socioeconomic dimensions of the worn-out textures. In this regard, the current study aimed to investigate the improvement and renovation of the worn-out texture of the Nader Kazemi Neighborhood to revitalize the texture. The secondary objectives of the study in the framework of the main objective include recognition of the socioeconomic characteristics of the inhabitants, the physical status of the complex, investigation of the factors effective on people’s participation in the improvement of the Nader Kazemi Neighborhood, and provision of scientific and practical guidelines and solutions in this regard. The method used by the current study is descriptive-analytical, and it is applied to research conducted in the Nader Kazemi Neighborhood with a population of 2302 people and a generalizable sample size of 329 people. The results obtained were analyzed using SPSS, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise regression. It is seen in the analyses that infrastructural installations and lack of facilities and urban services cause large numbers of local people to migrate to other areas. On the other hand, the socioeconomic status of the residents of the texture has led to the reduction of the improvement process inside it and has made the texture get worn out faster. Based on the findings, the respondents had the highest tendency to participate in decision-making and the least tendency to engage in financial participation. Also, the results obtained from Pearson’s test indicated a significant correlation between the people's participation in worn-out texture organization and the components of access to urban services and facilities and trust-building.
