Abstract (54 Views)
Aims: Cities, as high-density gathering points (population, energy, and waste), impose enormous demands on the environment and urban resources. The excessive expansion of cities, land use changes, and increased carbon emissions from human activities have created serious challenges for achieving sustainable development. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the indicators of realizing the low-carbon city phenomenon in Region 2 of Tehran Metropolitan Area.
Methodology: This type of applied research is of a descriptive-survey type. The statistical population in this study is urban affairs specialists and officials in Region 2 of Tehran Metropolitan Area. To determine the sample size, 125 urban affairs specialists and relevant officials at the regional level have been selected. To analyze the research findings, AHP analytical techniques have been used.
Findings: The results of the study showed that among the indicators of low-carbon urban form, "increasing urban density" ranks first with a weight of 0.215, "compactness of urban form" ranks second with a weight of 0.179, and "creating green spaces" ranks third with a weight of 0.165. Among the indicators of low-carbon city transportation and infrastructure, "public transportation" ranks first with a weight of 0.170, "smart urban infrastructure" ranks second with a weight of 0.167, and "clean vehicles" ranks third with a weight of 0.159. Among the indicators of low-carbon city governance, "public participation" ranks first with a weight of 0.411, "education to reduce energy consumption" ranks second with a weight of 0.309, and "investment in infrastructure" ranks third with a weight of 0.280.
Conclusion: The final scores of the options show that overall, "expanding modern public transportation" with a final score of (0.357) is the best method of carbon reduction in Region 2 of Tehran Metropolitan Area.
