An Analysis on the Effective Factors of Smart City on Infill Development in Urban Worn-out Textures, Case Study: Tabriz Worn-out Texture

The present study utilizes the cross-impact analysis technique as one of the common and accepted methods of future-based studies to analyze the impact of smart city factors on the components of infill development in the historical contexts of the Tabriz city. The method of the present study is descriptive-analytical. In this manner, 34 components of smart city along with 19 variables of infill development were extracted using environmental scanning technique and were analyzed by 30 urban planning experts through Micmac software. The results of the research indicate the instability of the system in the metropolis of Tabriz, according to which, five categories of influential, two-sided, influential, independent and risk factors can be identified. Finally, by studying, reviewing and analyzing the results, 7 key factors influencing smart development include creativity, innovative spirit, sustainable resource management, local access, sustainable and creative transportation. The safety, attractiveness of natural conditions and flexibility and 4 key factors influencing infill development, including affordable housing, land productivity, population density and polluting land uses were determined. Who have played the most important role in recreating the future of dysfunctional tissues of Tabriz metropolis with an emphasis on smart urban development. The innovation of the present study can also be indicated in two areas: subject (due to lack of studies in this subject) and methodology (Micmac method).
