Analysis of the Position of CDS Urban Development Strategy Indicators in Frontier Cities: Qain City

The need to make changes in the process and methods of preparing urban development plans with emphasis on long-term and strategic attitudes as well as short-term executive attitudes was highlighted as the adverse effects of traditional designs were revealed. One of the new perspectives that plays an active and purposeful role in the development of cities is the New Design (CDS). The need for this plan is to achieve the concepts of sustainable and balanced development with an emphasis on identifying the strengths and potentials for development across all cities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the position of the four CDS indices (competitiveness, viability, banking, and good urban governance). The research method is descriptive-analytical which uses a researcher-made questionnaire to measure the mentioned indexes. The population of the study consists of two groups of experts and citizens, which were completed in simple random order. The results after Kolomogorov Smirnov test and SWOT method and also confirm the hypotheses indicate that the city of Qain is in competitive position in terms of CDS model indices. Priority is given to access to knowledge based and industrial city. Therefore, given the current situation and potential with regard to Qain's strategic location and products, it is necessary to provide the authorities and managers with the opportunity to develop and implement this new plan and its indicators. Urbanization and identifying stakeholder and stakeholder groups are essential to achieve the desired outcome.
