Abstract :

The new approach to knowledge-based urban development focuses on four key economic, environmental, organizational and socio-cultural aspects, so that the emergence of knowledge-based economy is considered as the main factor in the development of global and local economies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the role of the desired urban structure in the realization and development of the city of knowledge in Bandar Abbas by descriptive-analytical method and quantitative measurement (questionnaire) and using the pairwise comparison test, T and Friedman. The statistical population of the study is knowledge staff in 55 growth and technology centers of Bandar Abbas, which is a total of 258 people in the whole community. The results show that by comparing the current situation of Bandar Abbas and the city of knowledge with the spider diagram, it was found that Bandar Abbas has differences with the ideal in terms of indicators of the city of knowledge and the biggest difference is related to the structure index. It is urban and the results of the T test show that among the principles of the city of knowledge, the average importance of the urban structure index with 2.95 has the highest value, urban infrastructure with 2.90 and knowledge sharing with 2.71 and the importance of technology and information with 1.90 have a higher average value, respectively. Also, the comparison of the average rankings shows that the highest average rank is allocated to the urban structure with a value of 3.88, which means that the most important effective indicator in attracting knowledge staff in Bandar Abbas in terms of creative class is the desirable urban structure. Therefore, in order to retain knowledge workers in Bandar Abbas and due to the low average rank of knowledge-based environment, knowledge-based security and knowledge-based government, these three items should be on the agenda of city officials, elites and people.
