        AbstractToday, urban prosperity has become one of the important issues in the field of urban development. In this regard, this article has tried to identify and cluster the driving forces affecting the future state of the prosperity of the metropolis of Tehran using the method of structural analysis. Theoretical data was prepared by document method and experimental data by survey method based on Delphi technique. The statistical population is 20 urban experts based on snowball sampling. 49 primary drivers have been processed in MICMAC software in 6 statistical categories and identified by structural interaction analysis method. The results of this research show that the general distribution pattern of the drivers studied, in terms of mutual effects analysis, indicates the state of an unstable environmental system in which the drivers of urban prosperity have a complex and intermediate state in terms of effectiveness and effectiveness. The focus of drivers is mostly in the cluster of independent factors. Poverty rate, Gini coefficient, employment rate, unemployment rate, accessibility to public open spaces, recreation per capita, space per capita, satisfaction with the quality of health care services, satisfaction with the security of the physical environment, the number of young unemployed, the employment rate in the informal sector, Cultural per capita, the amount of destruction and renovation of worn-out structures, waste generation per capita, civic participation were chosen as the most important driving forces for the future prosperity of Tehran metropolis.

        Introduction and Aim: Today, urban prosperity is considered as one of the ways to achieve a better quality of life, participation and social cohesion, environmental sustainability and in addition economic development and productivity. The purpose of this study is to present a strategic-operational development plan of District 5 of Karaj (planning target area) with an urban prosperity approach.Methodology: This research based on the method, is descriptive-analytical and in terms of aim is applied. In the first step, in order to identify the target area of planning, the quantitative data obtained from different sources using software have been converted into 27 indicators in the form of 5 dimensions of urban prosperity. The WASPAS decision-making model has been used to level the areas of Karaj city. In the following, by completing the questionnaire, field observation and studying the relevant documents, the internal evaluation of the region has been done. In the second step (strategic planning) using AIDA technique, proposed policies and projects to achieve urban prosperity in District 5 of Karaj are presented.Findings: District 5 of Karaj city (with a final score of 0.235) is in the worst situation in terms of urban prosperity dimensions and was selected as a problematic area and planning target. Also, the findings of the technique (AIDA) show that one of the most important obstacles to the failure of urban prosperity in this area is the lack of citizen participation and lack of accountability. Increasing citizen participation and social learning in this area is the key to achieving urban prosperity. Equality and participation is only one of the five dimensions of urban prosperity, but without it, development in the other four dimensions cannot be achieved. In fact, without social capital and the participation of the people, other projects will be meaningless and unsuccessful.Results: The dimensions of viability, equality, participation and productivity in the 5th district of Karaj are worse than other dimensions. That is why most of the strategic projects are about these dimensions, the realization of which requires the participation of the people.  Manuscript profile

In this regard the final document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development states with the title of the future we want; if cities are planned and developed as well, they can make it happen the Sustainable economic, social and environmental communities. This organization introduced a model In the name of the Prosperity city to realize the happiness of cities. This can draw the vision of comprehensive development for cities by analyzing the current situation and prioritizing planning interventions. In this research that has been done with the goal evaluation of Prosperity indicators in the neighborhoods of Saqez city; Effective indicators have been identified in the Prosperity of Saqqez neighborhoods Using MicMac software and then these key factors were graded using the copras model at the level of 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city and GIS is used for visual expression. In this study, 49 indicators have been used in five dimensions in order evaluation of Prosperity indicators. 14 key indicators are known using MiceMac software.‌ Research results show that according to the Prosperity indicators of 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city; neighborhoods 16, 19, 4, 11, 10 have little effect which are located in the southeast of the center and west of the city and neighborhoods 22, 21, 9, 2, 20.1 are in a better position to achieve prosperity which are located in the southeast, center and north of the city. Must be said spatial improvement and proper distribution of revenues, Greater cohesion and participation, the possibility of access to neighborhoods with low impact on parks and educational services and better distribution of indicators, especially indicators of productivity and quality of life are the most important proposals at the neighborhood level.Extended AbstractIntroduction:     Due to the existing competitive environment and the development of new technologies in the age of globalization, UN-Habitat has taken a new approach in the field of urban development; a holistic and integrated approach to promote welfare and play a public role. This new approach helps cities in better management of the future of the city in the economic, political, social and environmental fields. This approach is called urban prosperity. Prosperity means success, wealth, progress, health or felicity. Urban prosperity creates a sense of individual and public social and economic security for the present and future of cities and it is realized of other immaterial needs and desires and the indicators of urban prosperity are complex and it's a multifaceted issue and understanding these complexities, accessibility indicators, valuation and measurement are important. The spatial structure of a city consists of components and elements and is with each other in interaction and each of these components will be affected on the whole structure. These indicators of urban prosperity are expressed as an urban prosperity cycle; includes: productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, social dimensions and environmental sustainability. In recent decades, Iranian cities encountered with rapid and unstable development and this does not end with urban development and there is a lot of problem, these problems are significant in cities. In the meantime, a multifaceted look and tool must be considered to address urban issues and challenges to guide cities towards real development to achieve this, the CPI is effective. The Urban Prosperity Index was introduced through the UN-Habitat Program and in Iran in the year 2016, it coincided with the start of the city council elections; the approaches of each study must change in accordance with the characteristics of the defined society and be localized. Optimal results can be one of three modes; Intermediate, critical, desirable which is done according to the situation of cities in the future. Optimal condition is required to vision and planning.Methodology:      The research method is descriptive-analytical by nature and is done with a functional purpose. In this research, first, it was dealt with a systematic and structural view Review of theoretical literature on urban prosperity then effective indicators and variables were extracted in urban flourishing in five dimensions (Productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, equality and social participation and environmental sustainability), it has been done based on theoretical foundations and using the Delphi method. In the second stage Indicators were analyzed In the MicMac software environment and was scored using the interaction technique (structural analysis method) finally, key factors were extracted in urban prosperity and in the next step leveling in the neighborhoods of Saqez city using the Copras Model. Finally, some suggestions were made.Results and discussion:              In this research, 49 indicators of urban prosperity have been measured in 5 dimensions and in Mikomak environment the results indicate,14 key indicators are important; Including creative forces, specialization, life expectancy, unemployment, production, participation, existence of universities, educational services, mortality, industry, mobile services, transportation costs which are known as controlling and influential forces on the open system. The assessment shows this on how to distribute the key factors of urban prosperity in 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city with the Copras Modelm, There has been a huge difference in terms of indicators at the neighborhood level so that neighborhoods 16, 19, 4, 11, 10 were among the neighborhoods with low impact.These neighborhoods are unsuitable neighborhoods in terms of productivity index which are located in the southeast, west and center of the city in these neighborhoods, working conditions have been low due to the greater instability in the dimensions of employment and income, which will be much less depending on the amount of financial support and predict when to get a new job and so on has made more attention. Essential to the mentioned neighborhoods these neighborhoods are unsuitable in terms of infrastructure index and the importance of access is essential to parks and spaces and it can be said that these neighborhoods are in a lower degree in terms of social participation they are located in relation to other neighborhoods. It is necessary to pay attention to these sub-indicators in order to provide prosperity in the area of these neighborhoods, to identify the key issues and problems of these neighborhoods finally, take an appropriate intervention approach. These neighborhoods are at a low level with high population density and incompatible uses and educational services. In these neighborhoods, residents' access to educational centers has faced problems due to the small width of the passages and the instability of the cross section and permeability. The process of proper access to these centers should be on the agenda especially in neighborhoods 16 and 19 and with the support of the public and government sectors and it should be noted that The revitalization process should not lead to the loss of the identity of these neighborhoods. Intervention in these neighborhoods must be maintained structural values and physical properties as well as nature No building materials have been used in these neighborhoods Complies with standards and do not have the necessary retrofitting facilities. This is the instability of buildings and structures a great threat to the lives of the residents of these neighborhoods and increase mortality in the face of natural disasters and it changes the life expectancy of the residents and neighborhoods 22, 21, 9, 2, 20, 1 are in the first ranks in order to achieve the prosperity of Saqez neighborhoods.Conclusion:      The result of the research showed that Productivity and quality of life indicators have higher scores and infrastructure, social, and sustainability indicators have the lowest scores among the indicators of urban prosperity which can be a great guide for urban management.
