Abstract :

Liveability one of the new approaches to reducing environmental, economic and social problems of cities is based on their capacities and needs. Since worn-out textures face economic, physical, environmental and other problems, paying attention to the biodiversity approach and its standards is effective in reducing these problems and improving the quality of life and efficiency of urban management. The purpose of this study was to analyze the bioaccumulation indices in the worn-out texture of Shahindez city. This paper is a descriptive-analytical and applied purpose study. The questionnaire was distributed among 25 people by simple random sampling and five factors affecting the viability of Shahdinjeh city (social, economic, environmental, physical and managerial) were investigated. Data analysis was performed using FAHP method. The findings show that in the social sector, the rate of participation (0.229); in the economic sector, the rate of income and household expenditure (0.211), in the management sector, providing financial facilities for tissue residents (0.185); Buildings are more important in texture (0.138) and in the environmental section of the quantity and distribution index of green space at the surface of worn textures (0.230), indicating the importance of each of them in the viability of worn textures. At the end, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the viability of Shahindezh were studied.
