Abstract :

One of the recent approaches in the field of restoration of historical textures is the approach of sustainable urban regeneration, which has a more comprehensive view of the historical context and its protection than the previous approaches. In this approach, in order to restore the historical context, all dimensions of sustainable development, including economic, social, cultural, managerial and environmental dimensions have been used. However, this study aims to measure and strategically evaluate the quality of the texture of the Kerman market area with a regeneration approach. With this approach, have a comprehensive view of its dimensions and criteria. Therefore, the present research method is applied in terms of purpose and has a survey nature, and data collection has been done through documentary and library review, questionnaire (from the perspective of 50 officials and residents of the area). The data were then entered and analyzed in excel software and then analyzed using the qspm strategic model. The obtained information was analyzed using GIS software in the form of effective regeneration indicators and the strategy and effective strategies for area regeneration were extracted using the qspm strategic technique. The results show that the historical texture does not have the necessary quality to recreate and requires various measures to revive the texture, such as revitalization and restoration of historic buildings within the historical texture, so that the results of the Swot technique also show this. Its strategy is of WO type and has the ability to protect and change if strengths are used to eliminate weaknesses.
