A Feasibility Study of Redevelopment in Urban Inefficient Textures (A case study: Anbar-e Naft Quarter, Zone 11, Tehran)

The shortage of space for development, especially in central and dense textures of large cities such as Tehran, is an important challenge for urban planning. Using complete existing potentials and optimizing the space use in the condition of shortage of space is a basic rule which is put forth within the framework of endocrine development. The zone 11 is one of the central districts of Tehran, which is facing the problem of shortage of space and inefficiency of its textures. The present article examines the redevelopment possibility of inefficient textures of zone 11 of Tehran. To achieve this target, first, the identification criteria of these spaces were specified. Then, giving weight to the standards by a group of experts, the whole textures(fabrics) of zone 11 were studied based on these standards within the framework of ArcGIS software. Afterwards, out of the quarters of the zone, a quarter with the highest rate of inefficient space and in need of red development was selected. In the second phase, that quarter was studied and prioritized based on the standards of determining the optimal location for different uses and types of development. In this phase, criteria of place selection were weighted based on AHP model within the framework of Marinoni program(one of the side GIS programs).The results of the research show that service-administrative and commercial land uses are the first and second priorities of redevelopment in Anbar-e Naft quarter. With regard to the standards of location finding, the existing of macro scale activities, arterial networks and incompatible activities, the residential land use is the fourth priority as far as redevelopment capability is concerned.
