Strategic planning to organize the worn-out fabric of Golkob neighborhood in Shiraz

Chapter One: Research Overview

Preface

Today, cities are growing rapidly and have presented themselves as the first human settlement. This trend is related to recent centuries and especially after the industrial revolution, which caused many problems in the physical and population growth of cities. In response to these problems, various plans were implemented, perhaps the most important of which are There were guiding and comprehensive plans, but due to several reasons, these plans failed and today they are considered completely obsolete in developed countries.

The lack of effectiveness of comprehensive and detailed plans in the world caused urban planning to welcome other approaches such as systemic planning and organizational management, and strategic planning, which showed a great ability to respond to urban planning problems, entered the field of urban planning. Today, perhaps, strategic planning is the most obvious and visible type of planning in the world, which is finding its place in Iran over time.

The lack of structural foundations and infrastructures and the lack of definition of intervention strategies in a systematic and coordinated format are among the main challenges and obstacles in the improvement and renovation of worn-out structures. Partial and separate strategies or cross-sectional and superstructure projects are not the solution and structural foundations should be. be defined and defined in a continuous and coordinated process, so that each can play a complementary role to each other. 

This research is carried out in five chapters as follows:

Chapter 1: with the title of general research and includes the introduction, definition and explanation of strategic planning, research questions and assumptions, research methods, etc.

Chapter 2: examines the theoretical foundations of the research and theoretical literature on strategic planning, strategy, worn-out structures, and global and national experiences in the field of organizing structures. Chapter 3: It includes the introduction of the study area and the economic, social, cultural and physical condition of Gol Kob neighborhood in the 2nd district of Shiraz. Chapter 4: In this chapter, the findings of the questionnaires are analyzed using spss.

1- Generalities of the research

1-1-Introduction:

The success and quality of the studies, on the one hand, is related to the accuracy in preparing the research plan and setting the theoretical plan and choosing the appropriate variables, and on the other hand, it depends on the methods, methods and tools used to obtain data about the variables. In order to achieve the goals of the research and its success, it is necessary that the accuracy and depth necessary to choose the method and Appropriate tools should also be used (Salimi, 1386:1).

Urban research is a systematic exploration of the characteristics of economic, social, urban activities, urban processes and the effects of these activities and urban processes at different spatial levels (Andranovich, 1380:18). Today, the issue of space and sustainable spatial development is one of the most important issues that has been the focus of city officials and planners, and dilapidated urban tissues are considered one of the best spatial resources. Therefore, in order to prevent the horizontal expansion of cities and make better use of these empty but dilapidated spaces, the authorities have thought of improving and organizing them. and have lost their past living and living quality, and today they are considered as one of the basic obstacles to the realization of modern urban management methods in urban planning and urban planning.

Dilapidated tissues are one of the different types of vulnerable urban tissues that have low environmental and economic value due to physical wear and tear, inadequate vehicle access, service facilities, and the existence of vulnerable infrastructure. Realizing social justice, creating and shaping the environment A safe, secure and desirable lifestyle for the life and activity of citizens in the direction of enjoying equal opportunities in life is one of the major goals of the country's vision document, which undoubtedly, worn-out urban tissues, with physical, social, economic problems, etc.have created environments that are incompatible with this goal (Zangi Abadi Vadigan, 1390: 118)

In many old cities, the city centers have lost their well-deserved prosperity due to various reasons, and the old neighborhoods in the city center as the primary places of settlement in the city, which have symbols of urbanization and have signs of the originality and identity of the city, have become dilapidated. They develop more and more and in order to develop values ??and opportunities, the central tissues of the city are forgotten or ignored. Due to the problems that plague these tissues and the lack of public uses that have created prosperity and dynamism within the tissues, a state of stagnation and deadness prevails in the atmosphere of these neighborhoods, and this process of decline and degradation has progressed to the extent that the main residents of these neighborhoods, who were usually middle and high income groups, have lost themselves to stay in these neighborhoods, and in fact, the social and cultural wealth caused by the presence of the original residents of these areas has given way to the presence of low-income and immigrant (non-native) strata, and as a result, the value of properties has declined (Rezaei, 2013: 4). The research, the method of information gathering, the method of sampling and analysis of information, the objectives, background and problems of the research have been examined.

1-2-Statement of the problem

The first stage of the research is the feeling of the existence of a problem, which means that the researcher has faced an obstacle and a problem in his work that he is uncertain or doubtful about solving. (Guide, 2017: 31). The problems of our cities today are very numerous and complex. The traditional planning of the past has not been able to fully respond to these urban problems, so the officials and specialists of urban issues have tried to use strategic planning that has a strong tendency to implement and produce results instead of producing a plan. Strategic planning is a type of planning in which the goal is to define and formulate strategies. Since strategy can have a short or long life, strategic planning can be long-term or short-term planning, but it is different from them (Ziyari, 1388: 176). The strategic planning process, which is known as a part of the strategic management process, can be summarized in four stages: starting or determining the mission, entering or assessing the environment, targeting and determining the strategy. In this process, the organization must determine its mission and vision and internal and environmental factors in order to identify strengths. consider the weaknesses, opportunities and threats and adjust the long-term goals according to them. Then, by formulating different strategies, rather than choosing different options, pay attention in such a way that the success of the organization follows.

Programs and projects that are implemented in the cities of Iran with comprehensive and detailed names, because they are more physical, concentrated, static and traditional, answer the current needs of the cities. They are not, because in practice they are inflexible, long-term, and in the end, they do not have much implementation capability, and the degree of realization of the goals foreseen in them is insignificant; therefore, the transition from the model of comprehensive urban plans towards strategic planning, considering its hybrid properties, flexibility and dynamism, in order to solve problems and problems and adapt to future developments, seems necessary (Salimi, 2016: 2). On the other hand, the main goal of strategic development is to create a livable environment for everyone, along with social justice, efficiency economic and environmental sustainability, and strategic development within the boundaries of land and urban housing, social and infrastructure services of economic and environmental development are integrally included (Sarafi, 1379: 68). The city, like living organisms, is made up of urban tissues that are formed for a specific function and with the passage of time and changes in their function, wear out or die. Today, the existence of worn-out urban neighborhoods is one of the realities of medium and large cities in the country, which brings with it problems , have created special problems and needs and have taken an important part of the urban planning activities. Golkob neighborhood in the central part of Shiraz is also considered as one of the worn-out urban tissues that has lost its residential efficiency and neighborhood function over time, and despite the narrow alleys, very old houses that are over 50 years old, and the smallness of the houses, it is considered one of the worn-out urban neighborhoods in Shiraz.
