Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to plan the development drivers in urban regeneration at the level of the Gortan neighborhood with a developmental-applicative approach and in terms of research methodology, descriptive-analytical based on library and field studies.To identify the main explanatory conceptual indicators of regeneration and urban development drivers, a targeted documentary method was used.The sample population is all the residents over15years of age of the Gortan neighborhood(2917),who was selected as the sample size by using a random method.The current research uses statistical methods such as one-way analysis of variance, one-sample T, regression analysis, independent two-group T, and structural equations through Smart PLS software; It has analyzed and evaluated regeneration components in four dimensions (sociocultural, physical, economic, and environmental) and development drivers in three scales (large, medium and small). The results showed the effective dimensions in regeneration and the dimensions of the development in the Gortan neighborhood; Firstly, the physical dimension (6.220) ranks, secondly, the economic dimension (5.134) ranks, and thirdly, the environmental dimension (2.862) ranks. In addition, the general variable of development drivers 3. affects the variable of urban regeneration. The results show according to the intermingling of the components and indicators of development-stimulating projects (R=0.545),its role in various aspects and dimensions of urban regeneration in the Gortan neighborhood is undeniable and medium-scale development-stimulating projects (Beta=0.482)play a greater role in the regeneration of Gortan neighborhood. Also, the importance of participatory planning in strengthening development drivers in the Gortan neighborhood was confirmed after conducting in-depth interviews with experts.
