چکیده مقاله :
In order to respond to the problem of urban decline, different approaches have been defined in sucha way that urban regeneration approach became current in the 1980s (and more wildly after 1995) as a replacementfor urban renewal. Urban regeneration is the holistic process of reversing economic, social and physical decay inareas where it has reached a stage when market forces alone will not suffice. This article approaches aimed at usingurban regeneration planning in Dolatkhah case study situated in 19th Tehran municipality region using Analysis ofInterconnected Decision Areas technique in order to respond its urban decline. Findings of this article show that theattitude of decision-makers to deal with urban decline is more physical than social and economic. Urban regenerationplanning at the local level cannot answer all the problems of social, economic and physical urban decays and thereis the necessity of planning system reform from top to down. The results of this article states that with a technicaloffice establishment based on Tehran renovation organization support and with assuming of institutional planningimplementation, community development asset-based approach is more adapted with Dolatkhah conditions. Institutionplanning and its process in Dolatkhah have been introduced in this article.
