ABSTRACT: This paper aims to prioritize intervention in urban deteriorated fabrics of Eslamshahr
city. Worn-out textures in Eslamshahr (south west neighbor of Tehran), despite having
potential facilities, unfortunately, in areas such as network infrastructure, water,
electricity, telephone, and gas networks are becoming physical problems of the city
against unforeseen events such as an earthquake. So that improvement, renovation
and restoration of these textures could be very effective in making the Eslamshahr
development sustainable. The studied deteriorated fabric covers an area of 104 hectares
and has a population of about 42,664 people. Problems and challenges such as
the domain of low-income people living, non-proportional distribution of services,
marginalization and extensive urban deteriorated are among the most evident challenges.
In this study, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the weighting and
ranking of triple structures and variables related to each structure of the worn-out
texture in Eslamshahr region took place. Weighting of criteria has been carried out
based on research and comment of professionals and experts. Intervention indicators
in the studied fabric are recognized and prioritized based on physical, social and economic
factors. Considered indicators include type of Land Use, Passage network,
Building occupies, Building Density, Number of floors, Building Life, Number of
blocks, Constructions materials and skeleton, Separation of parts and Building quality.
After evaluation using analytical hierarchy process and according to opinions of
experts, rank each of the parameters was obtained and then with using ArcGIS software
overlay map have been designed and evaluated. Result of this study revealed
which a pattern can be presented for intervention of worn-out texture in Eslamshahr.
