Investigating the factors affecting the livability of worn-out tissues in Ilam city (Case study: Banberz neighborhood)

Many factors play a role in livability and intensification of livability, each of which affects the decisions and motivations of individuals and society to live and stay in some way. The presence of these factors leads to biological prosperity and their absence causes biological stagnation in a complex. Therefore, this study has been performed with the aim of investigating the factors affecting the livability of worn-out tissues in a descriptive-analytical manner. The statistical population of the study consists of residents of Banbarz neighborhood of Ilam city, 376 of whom are selected by Cochran's formula using the cluster random sampling method. The research tool is a researcher-made questionnaire, whose validity is confirmed by experts and its reliability is confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.968. Data analysis is performed through confirmatory factor analysis and one-sample t test in SPSS software. The results show that the social (through the factors of residents’ participation and social security), economic (through the factors of proper access to public services and urban facilities, the private sector's desire to invest in the tissue, living standards), physical (through the factors of quality and antiquity of buildings (the rate of wear of materials and buildings), the existence of identifying elements and visual index, adequate area of housing, adaptation of the dimensions of texture and density of floors), management (through integrated management factors among institutions, creating financial facilities for the residents of the tissue, the amount of support for investors in the tissue), and environmental components are identified as factors affecting livability in the Banberz neighborhood. Also, from the perspective of residents, the livability of the Banberz neighborhood is unsatisfactory (m=2.055), where the economic livability of the neighborhood is weaker than other components (m=1.925).
