Abstract

The dynamism of space is always an opportunity to create a stronger relationship between place and society to develop urban life. Since the creation and development of intra-city areas, such as neighborhoods, can be significantly effective in the formation of dynamic social life, neighborhood centers can be revitalized as in-between spaces to provide services, create a sense of belonging to the place in the residents, and enhance the vitality of the neighborhood. The present study aims to investigate the physical, social, economic, and environmental roles of intracity in-between space systems in the dynamism of space using the TND approach. So, it seeks to answer the following question: what role do the characteristics of the in-between space play in the dynamics of neighborhoods and urban spaces? and with what approach can this be achieved? The present study is mixed method research where, first, the texture of neighborhood centers in Hamedan city is analyzed using logical reasoning and content-qualitative analysis, to extract the effective indicators in the dynamism of the neighborhood space. Next, the importance of coefficients and indicators is determined and analyzed using entropy and TOPSIS techniques. The results indicate that, based on the drivers of urban regeneration development, several components such as in-between space size, space syntax, the diversity of economic function, and the microstructures of socio-cultural life in the intra-city texture of Chaman play an increasing role in enhancing the vitality of neighborhoods and creating urban dynamism.
