Analysis of factors affecting in the regeneration of the urban landscape after fabric rehabilitation and renovation Case study: TEHRAN region 12

The urban landscape is the art of visual and structural integration that is perceived and monitored by the observer spatially. The subjective perceptions of residents of the urban landscape regeneration and the factors that influence these perceptions are of great importance. This perception is more sensitive to planning and designer interventions in the city’s fabric and structure, especially in historical cities with valuable elements, history of mentality, and identity. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the factors affecting mental perception and residents’ perception of space and urban landscape. To explore this issue, we employed a two-step mixed approach: First, a qualitative method with Delphi technique was used specified for each sub-criteria and then 500 members in the District 12 were interviewed using a Liker-based questionnaire. The results of the exploratory factor showed that all the terms could be found in the 10 final factors, which explain more than 65.8% of the total variance. Based on the results of this study, the perceived components of urban landscape from a resident and active perspective include visual attractiveness, ease of access, Legibility, diversity and harmony, reduction of visual disturbance, attachment, adaptability, and the variety of ultimate determinants affecting the urban landscape regeneration. Therefore, it is suggested focusing on refining the fabric of these factors using the participation of people.
