        Introduction: In recent years, along with the development of the urban regeneration approach, the trend towards micro-scale catalyst projects has also increased. These types of projects, which are defined on a neighborhood scale and in proportion to the tolerable capacities of local systems, are based on all-round participation and social capital.Objectives: Estimating the consequences of reviving the Zanjan match factory and changing its use to a museum, in the satisfaction of the citizensMethodology: In this research, which has been prepared by descriptive-analytical and survey method, the indicators in the form of three dimensions of "residential", "activity" and "physical" and seven factors have been determined as the theoretical basis of the research. The statistical population of the study is the citizens of Zanjan over 18 years of age, 384 of whom have been selected according to Cochran's formula in three groups: "merchants and residents of Kochmeshki neighborhood", "operating organizations and institutions" and "museum visitors". Data analysis was performed using one-sample T-Test and satisfaction-significance model.Geographical Context: The study scope of this research is the city of Zanjan, where the Zanjan matchmaking factory revival project has been carried out as a micro-scale development catalyst project with minimal intervention in its central context.Results: Surveys show poor and average satisfaction of the target groups of "general texture status", "economic status" and "residential status" and very poor satisfaction with the "activity status" factor. This is while the importance of the factor of "general condition of the tissue" was more than other factors and the factor of the factor of "economic status" was less than the others. In this project, only the factor of "environmental and physical condition of housing" has been able to satisfy the target groups in proportion to the importance they attach to it, and the other factors have distanced themselves from their importance. Findings also show that except for the factor of "activity status" which is in low priority and "general texture status" and "residential status" which need further strengthening and upgrading, other factors proposed in this project are in a favorable condition that their stabilization recommended.Conclusion: The results of this research show that audience satisfaction and the importance of evaluation indicators have a statistically significant gap. This gap shows the failure of the planners in providing the optimal level of indicators of the studied project which are important and priority for their audience. Manuscript profile
