Abstract :

Prior to the Industrial Revolution and the growth of cities, urban neighborhoods grew slowly and steadily, while maintaining their natural, social, and physical values, and responding to the relatively constant needs of their inhabitants. With the rapid growth of Iran's metropolises, old textures and ancient settlements and neighborhoods were threatened, and the need for urban restoration and re-creation of old textures was felt more than ever. Urban development has tried to revive and restore urban life to inefficient areas due to the two approaches of internal development and urban restoration of worn-out structures. In order to facilitate this process and pay attention to the connection of old contexts with urban development, planning and implementation of development stimulus projects was considered as one of the strategies used to provide the necessary conditions for the presence of residents and owners. The ancient texture of the cities of Kerman, Shiraz and Isfahan, especially the neighborhoods of Qala-e-Mahmoud, Sang-e-Siah and Haruniyeh neighborhoods, in addition to reflecting the history of development and cultural developments over time, are significant works of culture and civilization of the country. Nationally and globally, this research is applied in terms of purpose and its methodological approach is qualitative, quantitative, combined. Research sources are documentary sources, libraries and field observations and a popular questionnaire (analysis in the form of SPSS software). Research results in three neighborhoods of Sangsiah, Qalam Mahmoud and Haruniyeh; Showed that 1) development stimulus projects in the historical urban context strengthen the sense of security, 2) the most important factor in the lack of sense of security in the worn texture is the undesirable physical shape and structure of the texture, and 3) can be approached The stimulus of development, as a complete and integrated vision, achieved the revitalization and re-creation of the neighborhood as well as the preservation of its historical and physical values in order to turn the neighborhood into a living place in harmony with modern life and in accordance with historical character and identity.

Abstract

Introduction: Prior to the Industrial Revolution and the growth of cities, urban neighborhoods grew slowly and steadily, while maintaining their natural, social, and physical values, and responding to the relatively constant needs of their inhabitants. With the rapid growth of Iran's metropolises, old textures and ancient settlements and neighborhoods were threatened, and the need for urban restoration and re-creation of old textures was felt more than ever. Urban development has tried to revive and restore urban life to inefficient areas due to the two approaches of internal development and urban restoration of worn-out structures. In order to facilitate this process and pay attention to the connection of old contexts with urban development, planning and implementation of development stimulus projects was considered as one of the strategies used to provide the necessary conditions for the presence of residents and owners.

Method: The ancient texture of the cities of Kerman, Shiraz and Isfahan, especially the neighborhoods of Qala-e-Mahmoud, Sang-e-Siah and Haruniyeh neighborhoods, in addition to reflecting the history of development and cultural developments over time, are significant works of culture and civilization of the country. Nationally and globally, this research is applied in terms of purpose and its methodological approach is qualitative, quantitative, combined. Research sources are documentary sources, libraries and field observations and a popular questionnaire (analysis in the form of SPSS software).

Conclusion:Research results in three neighborhoods of Sangsiah, Qalam Mahmoud and Haruniyeh; Showed that 1) development stimulus projects in the historical urban context strengthen the sense of security, 2) the most important factor in the lack of sense of security in the worn texture is the undesirable physical shape and structure of the texture, and 3) can be approached The stimulus of development, as a complete and integrated vision, achieved the revitalization and re-creation of the neighborhood as well as the preservation of its historical and physical values ​​in order to turn the neighborhood into a living place in harmony with modern life and in accordance with historical character and identity.
