Abstract :

The city can be considered the most complex human product that has undergone its evolutionary process throughout history. Urban issues and issues have many dimensions and levels that make their analysis very difficult. The combination of global and local challenges has created amazing urban complexities that try to intelligently deal with these complexities, ideas, strategies and new tools to improve the quality of urban spaces as the most important scene of life. Collectively formed at shorter intervals than in the past, events are spatial, temporary, and purposeful phenomena, and because they are the result of interaction between people, space, and event management, they are unique and each experience Offer new ones. This research is applied in terms of nature and descriptive analysis in terms of methodology, which seeks to investigate and analyze the rate of orbital event in Shiraz. To achieve the objectives of the research, indicators in three parts; Welfare facilities and infrastructure, transportation infrastructure and in the event space section were extracted in 15 categories. Then, the congestion optimization method was prioritized and then using the network analysis process to analyze the situation of 11 areas of Shiraz, the Analyt Spatial environment was used in the ArcGis software environment. The results showed that more than 65% of the areas of Shiraz, ie areas 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 11 are completely deprived and deprived in terms of access to event-oriented indicators. Distinctive results of the situation in the regions of Shiraz in terms of event-oriented indicators show that 27% of the regions are in a fully-fledged state, 9% in a state of enjoyment, 9% in a semi-privileged state, 18% in a deprived state and 47% in a state of deprivation. They were completely deprived. According to these findings, in the regions of Shiraz, the return of welfare infrastructure facilities will be a priority for urban managers.
