In essence, creativity involves experiences, innovations, the capacity to rewrite the rules, unconventionality, a new attitude to the affairs, innovative illustration of possible scenarios in the future, distinguishing common points from different points, and adopting a resilient approach to life. A creative city is a conducive environment for human development that lays the ground for developing its residents’ creativity. These cities usually enjoy dynamic and healthy spaces. Thus, it is imperative to pay attention to the factors affecting a creative city to create urban interactive spaces. These factors include human capital, innovation, social capital, and life quality. These factors affect the citizens and overshadow their sense of attachment to such spaces, thus preventing social anomalies.

Despite similarities with their nature, various scientific research methodologies also have differences, requiring the researcher to use appropriate methodologies consistent with the research subjects and consider the limitations that may arise. This descriptive-analytical research used the survey method to examine ways to improve effective and creative innovations in the urban planning of new cities. This research stresses the effects of human capital, innovation, social capital, and life quality on the creative city. Later in the text, the research addresses each of these indicators and ranks different districts in the new city of Rudyan.This research falls under extensive research categories (e.g., the city of Rudyan) and is a cross-sectional study. Data were analyzed by SPSS software programs and multi-criteria decision-making technique (DEAMTEL-based ANP). In the descriptive section, the study uses one-dimensional tables, percentages ad frequency, while in the inferential section, T-Test tests, two-sample t-test (independent samples t-test), path analysis, Pearson, etc., were used to test the hypotheses. Also, the DANP model was used to rank the factors affecting the materialization of a creative city.

The new city of Rudyan has an average innovation index of 2.01, which is not desirable. This indicates that the new city stands at a lower rank than other cities across the nation regarding the application of technology, innovation, science, etc., and it is required to take more measures to become a creative city.The new city of Rudyan has an average social capital index of 2.74, which is not desirable. Speaking of social capital variables, the city acquired an average rate of 2.88 in the cooperation and collaboration in social relation network (the best situation), while it held an average rate of 2.34 in the variable of social trust (the worst situation). Considering the significance level of less than 0.05 (i.e., 0.003) for all social capital variables, the results from the indicator understudy can be generalized to the whole community.The new city of Rudyan has an average quality of life index of 2.74, which is not desirable. Speaking of quality-of-life variables, the city held an average rate of 2.94 in the variable of urban culture (the best situation), while it held an average rate of 2.10 in the variable of the environmental situation (the worst situation). Considering the significance level of less than 0.05 (i.e., 0.003) for all variables of quality of life, the results suggest that the city of Rudyan has, like other variables, an undesirable quality of life situation.

As social trust increases, human capital, innovation, social capital, and life quality will also improve. This is also true of the city of Rudyan. A significant relationship was found between interpersonal trust and human capital with quality of life. There was also a significant relationship between social capital and the creative city, i.e., with the development of social capital components, creative city indicators will also develop (as in the city of Rudyan). The research findings revealed that social capital was a good predictor to explain the city of Rudyan’s creativity.

The development of small cities has always been one of the major policies in the planning of developing countries. Analysis of urban neighborhoods sustainability indicators, is considered important for urban planners. In the field of urban planning, the concept of a smart sustainable city is often defined as an ideological dimension dependent on strategic directions in order to find an appropriate balance between territories and human societies through information and communication technology and behavioral changes. Sustainable development is one that can continue in the long-time without harming the environment. Sustainable urban development refers to the balance between the various urban social and environmental dimensions and their simultaneous development. Neighborhood as the most vital cell in the framework of the city, is identified by the connection and cohesion of cultural, social, economic, religious and environmental elements, which in most cases, attention to the factor of social livability is neglected with limited consideration to economic and environmental ones in it.  Urban neighborhoods always have a dynamic and evolving concept which have to adapt to professional and theoretical contexts. Neighborhood-based planning in the city of Rudian is a way to achieve the sustainability of the city. The most sustainable urban neighborhoods are ones that are formed in all aspects of sustainability based on environmental, social and economic conditions and the needs of the local community. Therefore, the issue of sustainability is one of the most important subjects in urban planning. Urban sustainable development is a more manageable and achievable concept through neighborhood sustainable development.

The present study is an applied research in terms of purpose and its method is based on descriptive-analytical. In this research, first library studies (articles, books, reports) were performed to identify dimensions and components, and then field surveys were conducted as a questionnaire in the framework of dimensions. In order to analyze the obtained data from field operations, one-sample t-test was used to measure the stability, analysis of variance was applied to compare items in the form of SPSS software and the WASPAS combined decision model was also exploited. The statistical population of the study included all people living in the city of Rudian, in 2016, from which 359 people were selected by available sampling and then, according to the proportion of the population of each neighborhood of the total population of the city, the same amount of sample has been allocated. In this study, Cronbach's alpha method was used to determine the reliability of the test. This method is used to calculate the internal consistency of a measuring instrument that evaluates various properties.

It can be said that there is a significant difference in stability between neighborhood areas of Rudian city in residential textures. The findings showed that only Sarghanat and Deh Bala neighborhoods are relatively stable in terms of security in Rudian and other neighborhoods are unstable. Also, all neighborhoods of Rudian city are in an unstable situation in terms of social, economic and environmental dimensions. In addition, Sarghanat and Deh Bala neighborhoods of Rudian city are physically stable and other neighborhoods are unstable in this regard.

Environmental, social and economic issues and problems in cities emphasize the need to achieve sustainable development. But to achieve this, it is important to measure the position and distance of the city from the ideal and model of sustainable development. In the current situation, the organic balance between the social system and the physical structure of the city and the incompatibility between them caused problems. If in the past, urban units of the neighborhood type provided the possibility of belonging or dependence or conditions of connection of the individual with the living environment, in recent times urban development with latent and observed demographic, social, technical and other variables to weaken or destroy these relationships. So that in addition to poverty and deprivation in slum areas, the contexts of emotional and psychological erosion of individuals on the one hand and the reduction of spatial belongings on the other hand are intensifying every day. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the neighborhoods of Rudian are different in terms of neighborhood sustainable development indicators. Sustainability indicators can be effective on organizing urban neighborhoods. The neighborhoods of Rudian city have significant differences in terms of population and area, and by recognizing the problems of the neighborhoods and improving them, and by strengthening the neighborhood indicators, it is possible to organize the city areas. The results of this study show that socio-physical factors play an important role in empowering the neighborhoods of Rudian, so the growth of security, services, quality of life, participation and access in these neighborhoods depends on their physical organization during which the empowerment strategy is feasible.
