Comparative study of the amount and dimensions of degradation in textures requiring regeneration in Kashan city

In order to organize the tissues that require regeneration, the indices and dimensions of different worn out urban textures are particularly important. In this regard, this article seeks to do a comparative study about the extent and dimensions of burn out in textures that need regeneration in Kashan. The method of this research is applied, considering the purpose, and descriptive- analytical, in terms of nature. In this research, studying the background and literature of the subject, the social, economic, cultural, service, physical and environmental indices were extracted and examined from objective and subjective aspects. In the objective aspect, the questionnaire method and in the subjective one, the statistics of the responsible centers were used. In this regard, the questionnaire data were collected and classified using stratified random method and objective data were analyzed using TOPSIS technique and entropy weighting method. The results show that there are four types of tissues in Kashan that need regeneration, including historical, middle disturbed, areas with rural background and informal settlement. Given this, a district was selected and studied from each type. The overall results of the study show that rural areas have the highest levels of wear burn out and the middle disturbed texture have the lowest one. In this respect, the informal settlement and the historical context are in the second and third place in terms of the intensity of burnout. The results of regression analysis indicate that the service dimension with beta coefficient of 0.72 has a greater effect on burnout than other dimensions. Also, the results of Pearson correlation test show a significant relationship between burnout dimensions. The findings show that regeneration of worn-out tissues requires a comprehensive look at all aspects of physical, social, economic and environmental dimensions.
