Recreation, Urban Decay Area, Index, Network Analysis, Tabriz MetropolisAbstract
Today, the existence of deteriorated urban areas is among the realities of medium and large cities in the country. These areas bring with them specific issues, problems, and needs that have captured a significant share of urban planning activities. Therefore, regeneration must be placed among the priorities of action. Accordingly, the main objective of the present study is to apply network analysis through pairwise comparison of the urban districts of Tabriz for weighting purposes and subsequently determine their ranking based on the obtained scores using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) model. In this regard, various theoretical indices were first reviewed, and the measures of this research were identified. Based on these measures and for the purpose of regenerating the deteriorated urban areas in Tabriz metropolis, the ten districts were pairwise compared with the assistance of expert opinions from stakeholders, influencers, participants, and authorities. Finally, it was observed that District 4 of Tabriz, with a very slight difference compared to District 1, possessed a slightly higher weight and, consequently, holds the top priority for urban regeneration actions.
