Abstract
A B S T R A C T
The development of the scope and type of problems of metropolises, especially in physical dimensions, requires the necessity of revision and transformation in the urban management system according to processes such as globalization, the trend of theories related to sustainability and space reproduction processes. The present review is methodologically practical, with the aim of describing and analyzing the goals of sustainable regeneration based on library studies. In this study, by reviewing research documents and literature; 6 dimensions, 32 components and 78 indicators related to the research were examined. The results of evaluation and prioritization of experts and the analysis of path coefficients related to the 6 dimensions of sustainable development under investigation show that in the application of sustainable development with a regeneration approach, according to the characteristics of Iranian metropolises, in order of physical dimensions with a path coefficient of 0.567, t value of 7.339 and Weight (0.1806) has the most positive and meaningful effect, functional (0.1714), environmental (0.1712), economic (0.1633), social and cultural (0.1604) and then aesthetic (semantic reading) and perception (0.1531) dimensions have the least effect and importance. Are. In an integrated evaluation, it can be concluded that not only the understanding of the concept of sustainable development in the regeneration of urban projects in domestic studies has not occurred sufficiently, but also due to superficial insight and lack of proper understanding of the fundamental concepts and the two-way relationship of these two approaches, there is a need to study There is more depth in this area. In connection with the role of urban regeneration projects in achieving the goals of sustainable development through the perspective of intellectual capital as a driver of growth in metropolises and improving their quality of life, we can benefit.
Extended Abstract
Introduction
Hamedan province with a population of 1,738,234 people has 29 cities and 1,097,217 urban residents, which includes 63.12% of the total population of the province, and Hamedan city alone with a population of 554,406 houses 50.52% of the total urban population of the province. Is. Since the first radial plan of the German Karl Frisch in 1310, the city of Hamadan has expanded from the main and central dominant core to the surrounding areas and residential and scattered cores have been formed and could play an effective role in the structure of the city. to be but by playing the dominant residential-activity role while expanding the spiral, they fueled the reduction of sustainability flow and double pressure on local resources, and while creating a dual urban-rural face, they led to the process of production and reproduction of the worn-out middle fabric, which is now a place for emerging All kinds of problems and reduced flow have become stable.
 
Methodology
This research is practical and fundamental in terms of its analytical and exploratory nature. The collection methods are based on documentary and library studies, surveys and interviews. Qualitative data was prepared with an open questionnaire and through interviews, as well as the review of documents and quantitative data used in this research numerically and through the weighting of Delphi questionnaires based on the consensus index model to determine importance, certainty and priority. In the present research, first by reviewing the most important researches in relation to the research literature in the first step; 6 dimensions, 32 components and 78 indicators were extracted. Then the selected indicators were provided to the Delphi group and they were asked to rate each of the indicators in the form of a consensus index to determine the importance, certainty and priority, as well as the options and indicators that Their opinion can have an effect on the non-realization of sustainable urban development in the process of regeneration and worn-out fabric. The developed indicators were ranked based on the process of hierarchical analysis of influence and effectiveness (pairwise comparison). In the final part of the research, to analyze the data, the structural equation modeling technique with the partial least square approach of the Smart PLS software was used to evaluate the conceptual model of the research.
 
Results and discussion
The results of evaluation and prioritization of experts show that in the application of sustainable development with a regeneration approach, according to the characteristics of Iranian metropolises, in order of physical (0.1806), functional (0.1714), environmental (0.1712), economic (0.1633), social and cultural (0.1604) dimensions. ) and aesthetics (semantic reading) and perception (0.1531) have the most effect and importance. According to the results, the physical dimension of sustainable development on the regeneration process with a path coefficient of 0.567 and t value of 7.339 shows that it has a positive and significant effect on the regeneration approach. In evaluating the impact of the functional dimension on the regeneration process, the path coefficient is 0.559 and the t value is 6.384, which has a positive and significant effect on the regeneration structure. Examining the environmental dimension with a path coefficient of 0.484 and t value of 5.388 shows that this dimension has a positive and significant effect on the nature of the subject. The path coefficient of 0.359 and the t value of 5.224 in the investigation of the effect of the aesthetic dimension (semantic reading) and perception explain this issue, which has a positive and relatively weak effect on the reconstruction structure. The social and cultural dimension with a coefficient of 0.505 and a t value of 5.321 has a significant effect on the reconstruction structure. The analysis of the coefficients of the path related to the 6 dimensions of the sustainable development study shows that the physical index has the highest impact, followed by functional, environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions, and then aesthetics (semantic reading) and perception, which have the least impact on the regeneration structure. Iran has big cities.
 
Conclusion
The process of renovating and re-creating the worn-out tissues of Iran's metropolises, especially Hamadan city, has faced many challenges, which are caused by various social, cultural, political, executive, financial and legal factors, and on a case-by-case and continuous basis, its physical tissue is in an unfavorable condition. Has set. Based on this, the management of metropolises should be responsive to the changing trends in the city by monitoring and evaluating major challenges, especially to the quality of housing and dilapidated structures, and its strategic measures should be proportionate to urban issues and current developments, and should be more responsible and responsive compared to the society. As an important part of the social learning system, it should function better and finally play an important role in predicting, discovering and welcoming the future. The concern of this research is due to some functional features of the sustainable development approach in dealing with these kinds of issues, which differentiates them from the usual perspectives of renovation or regeneration in terms of how they are applied. In connection with the importance of sustainable development dimensions and its effects on worn-out structures and improving the quality of residence, he believes that neighborhoods are the cities of tomorrow; Although their issues and challenges are not as big as the city's complex, which leads to a crisis. But their planning system and management structure lacks a coherent and specific approach to provide a future perspective for sustainability, and therefore, they are trapped in a mass of unplanned and physical inefficiencies.
