Presenting a pattern to code the cultural impact assessment of constructional projects of Isfahan

Different projects have different consequence in people’s life,which These consequences should be explored and identified.The studies about cultural effects of projects are done to analyze the consequences of a developmental plan on individuals and communities,and to reduce and moderate the negative consequences and increase the positive ones.Also,these studies are a base for managing cultural changes and a toll for decision–making about these factors that are useful for decision–making. So,the aim of this project is to present a pattern for compiling the cultural impact assessment of developmental projects of Isfahan city.In this regard,the related texts were investigated by qualitative content analysis method,and finally,to analyze data,exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses method.Based on the results we can identify the most important indicators of cultural impact assessment of developmental projects in eight factors:social relations(including:ethnic and group diversity,and social interactions);creativity(including creative urban infrastructures);foresight(including:future city,and intelligent city);identity (including:Iranian identity,Islamic identity,revolutionary identity,and the competitive merit of Isfahan"tourism");security(physical security,and mental security);justice ;attractiveness (including natural and unnatural elements);and clues and symbols(including:the impact of objective agents;and drawing inspiration from the dominant culture.The values of Cronbach's alpha and Synthetic reliability are greater than0.7for all variables;and the value of convergent validity is greater than 0.5for all variables;so the final pattern was determined based on fitting indices.Regarding the importance of cultural impact assessment in academic area,and applying it in urban planning and management,the results of this project prepare a cognitive and theoretical ground for the researcher interested in this study area.Also,these results may be useful for policy-makers,managers and cultural planners in urban management.
