Application of urban regeneration in promoting resilience in the coastal cities of western Mazandaran province

The growing population of our country, Iran, in recent decades and the increasing desire to migrate from rural to urban areas has caused the rapid and unbridled growth of cities. Therefore, urban areas will become the main place of many possible disasters. At the same time, one of the issues that most cities in the world are grappling with is the issue of natural disasters. Natural disasters, which are part of the process of human life, are a major challenge to achieving sustainable development of human societies. On the other hand, the unsuccessful implementation of urban regeneration projects has caused attention to a new phenomenon called sustainability in urban projects, which is the main approaches in the field of sustainability, revitalization of urban textures and emphasis on regeneration. In this regard, the western coastal cities of Mazandaran province, due to their geographical and natural location, which annually receive a large number of tourists, have suffered from wear and inefficiency in their center and are exposed to numerous damages and crises. Therefore, in this study, by applying the futures research approach and using structural analysis in Mick Mac software, the drivers of resilience have been identified and analyzed with the male regeneration approach. The sampling method of this research is unlikely to be snowball and subjective judgment. Accordingly, an initial group selected on the basis of subjective and purposeful judgment is asked to identify relevant experts. Accordingly, the initial group consisting of 8 people were selected. Then, in four rounds, each of the introduced experts was asked to introduce experts based on the definition of the statistical community; finally, 35 experts were identified and selected as a statistical sample.. Based on the analytical results of the structural analysis matrix in MicMac software, the physical part variables had the greatest impact on the regeneration with the resilience approach in the study area and the institutional factors had the least impact.
