Abstract

Increasing growth of urbanization and the formation of new scales of urban development in recent decades have raised new challenges in cities and contemporary urban planning. The focus of urban planning and management has now shifted to lower levels and tangible dimensions of urban life more than ever. Urban neighborhoods have scientifically and theoretically changed into an important topic in urban contexts and attracted much attention. Although neighborhoods are considered the main cores of urban life, they have been neglected in the official spatial planning system. Urban management cannot succeed unless it is situated from the lowest level to the top level of metropolitan management, urban regions, urban areas, and neighborhoods as the policy-making and decision-making layers. The basis of any type of planning is to precisely and coherently recognize the status quo. Thus, the purpose of the present paper is to recognize the physical-spatial status of neighborhoods and present suitable solutions, focusing on Pir Madar Neighborhood. The research methodology is an applied study in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytic in terms of nature. In the present research, the analysis and the final evaluation of physical-spatial status of Pir Madar Neighborhood have been conducted in four dimensions including 1) the quantitative and qualitative status of housing 2) the status of accessing urban services 3) the status of correlation between population and land use, and land uses together 4) the status of the sense of belonging to the neighborhood and readiness to participate in local development plans. Corresponding to each discussed dimension, information layers related to effective factors of the research were prepared by ARCGIS 10.5 Software and were analyzed using its functions including spatial analysis (hot spot analysis), distance analysis, buffer analysis, zooning analysis, accessibility analysis, Thiessen polygon analysis, and network analysis. Regression analysis functions in IDRISI SELVA Software were used to measure the correlation between population and land use, and land uses together. Moreover, one-sample t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and chi square tests in SPSS Software were used to analyze the questionnaire of the sense of belonging to a neighborhood. According to the obtained research results, Pir Madar Neighborhood is at a medium level physically and spatially and has got high potentiality of neighborhood development and planning. Based on the research results, suitable solutions for policy-making, decision-making and planning have been presented.
