The city is a living and dynamic creature whose body is formed in different periods under the influence of economic-political, cultural-natural and social changes. In a correct and healthy process, these changes are such that the old elements of cities are revived according to new needs. Historical and Old Despite the characteristics of the centrality of economic, geographical, communication and prosperity of the old market suffer from the apparent erosion of the weakness of urban infrastructure, cultural and social problems and the resulting problems. New generations do not want to continue living in traditional and old tissues, and this causes a change in the structure and even destruction of these tissues.Karaj, like a young metropolis that has been around for less than half a century, is one of the cities that face the problem of 551 hectares of worn-out urban fabric due to the temporal incompatibility of its texture. A large part of Karaj Accordingly, the need to organize the problematic worn-out structures of the city in various social, economic, environmental and physical dimensions is inevitable. The environment that creates the worn-out texture of Karaj has been studied and while providing solutions to reduce vulnerability, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats have been identified, but first the area under study during the cognition process is identified in the table and with the help of the strategy table. qspm provides an optimal strategy, but the important point in this regard is the defensive nature of the type of strategies, which means defending the existing conditions of the historical context of the study area, and finally answers the research question and provides solutions in the field of strategy
