Abstract :

Introduction and Aim: Today, urban prosperity is considered as one of the ways to achieve a better quality of life, participation and social cohesion, environmental sustainability and in addition economic development and productivity. The purpose of this study is to present a strategic-operational development plan of District 5 of Karaj (planning target area) with an urban prosperity approach.Methodology: This research based on the method, is descriptive-analytical and in terms of aim is applied. In the first step, in order to identify the target area of planning, the quantitative data obtained from different sources using software have been converted into 27 indicators in the form of 5 dimensions of urban prosperity. The WASPAS decision-making model has been used to level the areas of Karaj city. In the following, by completing the questionnaire, field observation and studying the relevant documents, the internal evaluation of the region has been done. In the second step (strategic planning) using AIDA technique, proposed policies and projects to achieve urban prosperity in District 5 of Karaj are presented.Findings: District 5 of Karaj city (with a final score of 0.235) is in the worst situation in terms of urban prosperity dimensions and was selected as a problematic area and planning target. Also, the findings of the technique (AIDA) show that one of the most important obstacles to the failure of urban prosperity in this area is the lack of citizen participation and lack of accountability. Increasing citizen participation and social learning in this area is the key to achieving urban prosperity. Equality and participation is only one of the five dimensions of urban prosperity, but without it, development in the other four dimensions cannot be achieved. In fact, without social capital and the participation of the people, other projects will be meaningless and unsuccessful.Results: The dimensions of viability, equality, participation and productivity in the 5th district of Karaj are worse than other dimensions. That is why most of the strategic projects are about these dimensions, the realization of which requires the participation of the people.
