Abstract (194 Views)
Aims & Backgrounds: Sustainable and resilient urban development is one of the main challenges of the 21st century, requiring integrated approaches to achieve environmental, social, and economic goals. This study aimed to explain the conceptual model of sustainable development and urban resilience integration and examine its application in the physical development of Rudsar city to provide a comprehensive framework for guiding the future development of this city.
Methodology: This research was conducted using a mixed-method sequential exploratory approach in two qualitative and quantitative phases during 2023-2024. In the qualitative phase, grounded theory based on Strauss and Corbin's paradigm model was used with 17 experts, and data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews. In the quantitative phase, data were collected from 345 urban development specialists and stakeholders in Rudsar using a researcher-made questionnaire, and data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling in SmartPLS software.
Findings: The results showed that all relationships between model variables are significant, with factor loadings above 0.4. The relationship between strategies and consequences with t=75.596 was the strongest relationship in the model, indicating the significant impact of integrated strategies on development outcomes. Causal conditions with t=22.969 have a considerable effect on the core phenomenon, and contextual and intervening conditions also influence strategies with t=4.048 and t=7.914, respectively.
Conclusion: The integrated model of sustainable development and urban resilience has high statistical validity, and the alignment of findings with previous studies confirms the correctness of the integrative approach. Rudsar city should use this model as a comprehensive framework to guide its future development and create conditions for sustainable and resilient physical development by strengthening contextual and intervening conditions.
