Abstract (4544 Views)
Introduction and Background: The complications and problems of urban areas worn out are multifaceted and multidimensional in nature, and in each case they occur in a particular way. The decline in social and economic status, and the functional and physical dislocation of these tissues, together with the very severe deterioration in the quality of the urban environment, are among the reasons why policymakers and urban planners are required to provide management strategies and solutions in the face of related problems and challenges. One of these new approaches is the regeneration approach within the framework of urban governance.
Aims: The purpose of this study is to assess the urban governance status in the process of rehabilitating urban environment of the 12th district of Tehran. This paper attempts to answer the question of how is the status of indexes dominated by the urban depreciated texture and also to evaluate the influence of governance on urban regeneration of urban old texture.
Methodology: Research method is descriptive-analytical and in terms of purpose, is developmental. The unit of analysis is considered the head of household. The sample size was determined using the Cochran formula which is 383 people. To define the sample, random sampling was used at district level according to the number of inhabitants.
Library and field methods have been used to collect the required information. A questionnaire was used to collect field information. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis.
Conclusion: Results show that among the indicators of urban governance, the index of justice and effectiveness and efficiency are the most, and the indicators of accountability and strategic insight have the lowest rank. In general, urban governance indicators in the 12th municipality district of Tehran are at a lower than average level. Also, governance is affected more from physical, economic and social indicators comparing to cultural and environmental indicators.
