Evaluation of 11 regions of Shiraz city in terms of urban prosperity index with FAHP model

Prosperity is a wide concept which has been proposed in 2012 by United Nations in relation with balanced and harmonic development in environment accompanied by fairness and justice. A kind of social construction which frames human activities. This concept has been introduced by six aspects with their sub criteria: 1. Productivity or economic growth with the basis of production, making wealth, and employment 2. Quality of life 3. Urban governance and legislation 4. Environmental sustainability 5. Equity and social participation 6.Developing infrastructure with its corresponding sub criteria. In this research, with analytical - descriptive approach the assessment and comparison of eleven Shiraz municipality regions according to urban prosperity indexes has been performed. In this case, with mentioning documentary and library resources, urban prosperity indexes has been analyzed and investigated. Therefore corresponding measures in current conditions of Shiraz would be identified. Afterwards for quantifying and gathering the data needed, from experts’ point of view, profound interviews and questionnaires has been practiced. It is necessary to say that the number of statistic samples initially defined from experts and specialists were 60 samples that finally 30 questionnaires were analyzed. For data analysis and measuring final urban prosperity number in regions, Fuzzy-AHP has been used and for weighing indexes in this model a survey has been done from experts, urban managers and researchers. The results of grading regions from urban prosperity index demonstrate that regions number 1, 6 and 10 has the most prosperity in sequence and region number 7 has the least urban prosperity rate. Also among indexes studied, efficiency with the score (0.308) and quality of life with the score (0.214) has the most impacts in the urban prosperity of the analyzed regions.
