Abstract :

The metropolis of Tabriz has many resources and capacities to be smart in various dimensions according to internal and external capacities, and this has become one of the main concerns of the citizens and officials of this city today. In this research, the future research of Tabriz metropolis growth developments based on the smart city approach has been studied. In order to analyze the research resources, to identify and determine the level of importance of operational indicators of Tabriz metropolis future development The informant-centered approach is discussed. In this way, first the operational indicators of the research (six indicators of the smart city) and research items (including 25 items) were extracted and in the first stage, using AHP method in Expert Choice software, evaluation and comparison of criteria based on expert evaluation were performed. In the second stage, based on optimal formulation in Excel environment and identifying the levels of influence and effectiveness of the indicators, the fuzzy Demitel method has been used. According to quantitative analyzes, out of 10 items related to the future factors of Tabriz city, 25 weighted items were ranked hierarchically and a total of 10 * 10 matrix diagrams were drawn. Based on the obtained qualitative results, it was determined that the most prominent feature of Tabriz metropolis is attention to the field of natural resources and protection of biosphere resources (water, soil and air). After these dimensions, attention to e-government, ITC infrastructure development, smart transportation, human resources and social development have been the most important, respectively. In the study of impact and impact values (Demtel) it was found that development based on knowledge of urban planning, with the establishment of knowledge-based companies in this field (and other areas related to urban management in the physical and virtual field) is the most important factor in realizing the future smart city Is.
