Identification of economic stimulus in the central distressed area s of Zanjan city

In recent decades, paying attention to worn out and inefficient areas, whose main cause of wear and tear is economic decline, has become important because the wear and tear of urban areas has a direct effect on cultural, economic and social issues. In this regard, the current research seeks to identify economic factors that are effective in facilitating regeneration in worn -out areas, so that by achieving an economic stimulus model, steps can be taken in the direction of revitalizing worn -out and inefficient areas. This research, which is applied research, is based on library studies, observation and field observations and has been prepared by descriptive -analytical method. The study area is the dilapidated and inefficient fabric of the central part of Zanjan city, which has an area of 492 hectares and has been noticed by managers and officials of urban restoration and regeneration. In the research process, after examining the economic criteria affecting the regeneration process in inefficient contexts, 5 criteria of "economic value", "investment", "economic activities within the context", "branding" and "providing the necessary financial resources" with 12 components It was identified as effective economic criteria in facilitating the regeneration of worn out and ineffective tissue. These criteria, while adapting to the conditions of the scope of the research study, were examined using the fuzzy Delphi technique in two stages, and finally, in the process of performing the fuzzy Delphi technique, 5 criteria and 10 components out of the 12 mentioned components were found to be effective economic criteria in facilitating the regeneration of worn tissue. and inefficient in the central part of Zanjan city were determined and confirmed. The ranking these criterias by the method of hierarchical analysis shows the importance of the role of each of the effective criteria in facilitating the regeneration of the central tissue of Zanjan; which are: first rank: providing financial resources, second rank: economic activities within the context, third rank: investment in the region, fourth rank: brand construction in the region and the fifth rank: the economic value of the region. The results of this research, which can be generalized to the marginal inefficient areas of Zanjan city, can be an important step in the implementation of urban regeneration policies and urban revitalization programs. Although all these things require detailed, comprehensive and realistic planning.
