Abstract :

For the country of Iran, which intends to become a developed country, one of the key elements to achieve development is to pay attention to the knowledge-based approach in all scientific and technological fields .. Among these things are the creation and development of knowledge cities, which have emerged in the world today and have knowledge-based economies and sustainable cities where their citizens live in prosperity and comfort Pardis , due to its location 17 kilometers east of Tehran having tourism capabilities, a special natural location, higher education centers such as Azad University and most importantly the science and technology park, are the necessary conditions to attract investors in the sector. It has private and especially the urban creative class and has the necessary potential to become a knowledge city. Based on this, the aim of this research is to formulate solid theoretical foundations regarding the impact of knowledge cities on regional development and to identify the criteria and indicators of the knowledge-city in Pardis , which is analyzed by the results of the questionnaire using the Likert . The desirability of 60 people is based on targeted sampling according to the statistical population. In the following, by examining the current situation and recognizing the capabilities and bottlenecks of Pardis , we will examine whether Pardis has the ability to become a knowledge-based city and the criteria and branches necessary for this transformation in six dimensions, social, economic, managerial, We evaluate the perception and spatial organization of the Minister of Urban infrastructure through the hierarchical AHP . The results of the research show that the economic criterion is in the first place, urban infrastructure is in the second place, and management is in the third place in terms of importance in order to create a knowledge-base city and regional development
