Abstract

In the pre-industrial era, urban neighborhoods met the almost constant demands of their residents while keeping their social, natural, and physical values. But, the rapid growth of Iranian big cities after the industrial revolution has made old buildings, settlements, and neighborhoods threatened,  leading to the need for old fabric reconstruction and urban restoration. The present study is mixed-method research where the descriptive, historical, documentary, and scientific studies are used to identify the problems of old fabrics and determine the research methodology, and the Delphi technique is used to confirm the required indices to reach the research goal. Next, the questionnaires are analyzed using the SWARA model. The old fabrics in Kerman, Shiraz, and Isfahan cities, especially Qale Mahmoud neighborhood in Kerman, Sangsiah neighborhood in Shiraz, and Harouniyeh neighborhood in Isfahan, in addition to reflecting the history of development and cultural changes over time, include outstanding works representing Iranian culture and civilization on national and global scales. These neighborhoods and cultural complexes have worn out and experienced demographic-structural changes over time due to various factors, so they need a comprehensive approach to renovate and rehabilitate themselves to preserve their identities. In all three neighborhoods studied, the results of the analysis indicate that in historical urban fabrics, flagship development projects strengthen the sense of security, and the shape and physical structure of the fabric is the most important factor for the lack of a sense of security in the worn-out texture. The results of analysis using the SWARA model show that among the indices of the urban catalyst dimension, the "equipment and development of public networks" index ranks first. Among the indices of the security dimension, the space scale index obtains the first rank, and among the indices of the regeneration dimensions, the attraction of high-income families, the attraction of domestic capital, and the improvement of the employment of residents are top priorities.
