Problem Solving of deteriorated urban areas is the most important stage in the participation of residents for success in renovation programs (Case stude: Shahid Khob Bakht neighborhood)

Nowadays, the renovation of deteriorated urban areas is no longer regarded as a mere physical action on these urban textures. Because the experience gained in Iran and the world over the past decades has shown that the rule of partial thinking, the lack of attention to the dimensions of the participation of renovation programs, and the reduction of its dimensions to the physical renewal, just transfer the problems to somewhere else. Therefore, with regard to the above issues, the hypothesis of this paper was that the problem solving of deteriorated urban areas was urged to encourage people to participate, and the plan of the municipality of Shahid Goodakht was evaluated as the first experience of collaborative renewal in Iran. In this paper, the hybrid research method (exploratory blend) was used to answer this hypothesis and quantitative analysis of the content analysis method was used to transform the qualitative findings. Quantitative analysis of statistical methods was performed using SPSS software and the hypothesis test by T test and Chi square. Quantitative analysis of statistical methods was performed using SPSS software and the hypothesis test by T test and Chi square. After that, the final results were presented based on quantitative findings and qualitative analyzes and problem-solving phase in the renovation plans, as a stage of recognizing the needs and problems of the residents, and their ability to meet the needs of renovation policies, was also confirmed.
