Identification an‎d eva‎luation of Urban Worn-Out Textures with a Regeneration Approach (Case Study: The Central Texture of Mobarakeh City)

جغرافيا و برنامه ريزي شهري

Old urban fabrics, as parts of the city facing physical, social, an‎d economic challenges, require targeted regeneration approaches to improve living conditions an‎d preserve cultural identity. This study aimed to identify an‎d eva‎luate the condition of the aging central fabric of Mobarakeh city an‎d to examine its potential for regeneration. Quantitative data were collected from 384 residents, business owners, an‎d visitors of the central area through a descriptive–analytical research method, using a questionnaire based on five an‎d seven point Likert scales. Data analysis was performed utilizing descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, an‎d stan‎dard deviation) an‎d inferential analyses (Spearman correlation an‎d Kruskal–Wallis tests). The results indicate considerable physical deterioration (65%) dissatisfaction with building conditions an‎d infrastructure quality), economic limitations (high dissatisfaction with employment an‎d investment opportunities), an‎d social challenges (low levels of information an‎d public participation) within the central fabric of the city. However, a strong correlation between regeneration potential an‎d cultural identity, alongside 88% support for private sector investment, confirms the high feasibility of urban regeneration. Based on the findings, central blocks (1–3), marginal blocks (4–6), an‎d commercial blocks (7–8) were identified as deteriorated zones requiring physical interventions (infrastructure rehabilitation), economic measures (support for small businesses), an‎d social initiatives (enhancement of participation an‎d awareness). The study underscores the necessity of an integrated physical–social–economic approach to urban regeneration an‎d suggests strategies such as monument restoration, promotion of local heritage, an‎d strengthening of community participation. Limitations—such as restricted access to long term data an‎d directions for future research, including the application of GIS based spatial models, are also discussed.
