The appropriate urban governance approach is one of the newest and at the same time most reliable approaches to urban management. This new approach in urban historical contexts has a multidimensional function in terms of improving the conditions of historical contexts because it will lead to the preservation of urban identity, improving the appearance and urban landscape, and ultimately increasing citizen satisfaction. The cultural-historical municipality of Tabriz Region 8 is one of the most historic urban areas among all cities in Iran that has not been studied from the perspective of optimal urban governance. The historical region of Tabriz is 8. The nature of the research is applied research that has been done descriptively-analytically and inferentially. The statistical population of the study consists of residents of District 8 and academic experts. The sample size was 377 people who were selected by simple random sampling. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.901. The research findings were analyzed using Pearson, regression, and ANOVA statistical tests as well as neighborhood prioritization using the Vikor method. Findings showed that the 15 variables were able to explain 89.6% of the variance changes related to optimal urban governance. Also, the results of the ANOVA test show that there is a significant difference between the seven neighborhoods in terms of desirable governance indicators. Finally, the results of the Vikor test showed that Bazaar, Shahnaz, Mansour, Daneshsara, Maghsoudiyeh, Tepli Bagh-Damascus, and Qarabagh-Balahamam neighborhoods are in the first to seventh ranks, respectively. Finally, according to the research findings, practical suggestions were presented.
