Abstract :

More than half of the world's population lives in cities and is expected to increase in the coming decades. Urban can be very effective in regulating the performance of cities and changing the face of space, such as (land use, human density, change in intensity and direction of flows of centers, etc.) residential systems. The space organization in the city is a reflection of the complex relations between different systems such as power system, land use system, population settlement system , system of symbols and identity concepts (both artificial and natural), and communication system within the socio - economic systems of the time and The legacy of the past systems of the city. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of analyzing urban spatial organization with an institutional-managerial approach in the metropolis of Tehran. This research is based on field evidence (study of Tehran municipal areas based on spatial organization) and various library documents. Using AHP and TOPSIS methods, which were distributed among 12 urban planning and architecture experts, we study urban spatial organization in the metropolitan area of Tehran. According to the criteria of the institutional-managerial approach, it indicates the desirability of urban spatial organization and consequently the desirability of the situation in the study areas. (0.015 and 0.0153) were tested using F statistical test at a confidence level of 0.95 and the superiority of the diagnostic power of the combined approach over the TOPSIS approach was proved, and in this regard, to provide solutions to improve urban organization with The institutional-managerial approach is discussed.
