Abstract

Results and discussion

the results of the one-sample t-test show that the internal development of worn-out structures in Zahedan city has an average of 2.45, which is lower than the base limit (3). is more Therefore, the internal development of the worn-out tissues of Zahedan city is not in a suitable and desirable condition.

The step-by-step regression results indicate that among the dimensions affecting the internal development of worn-out structures in Zahedan city, the social dimension with a beta coefficient of /544 has the most influence, economic with /390 in the second place, administrative with /272 in the third place. Physical with /251 in the fourth order, environment with /245 in the fifth order, and finally access with a beta value of /224 is the least influential. This means that by strengthening the components of the social dimension such as participation, interaction, cooperation, light and illumination, crime control, prevention of buying and selling drugs, social empowerment took an effective step in the direction of internal development. Of course, it goes without saying that the financial empowerment of the residents also plays an important role, which is improved by creating stable flames and loans.

Definitely and in principle, considering the dispersion of Zahedan city, especially its dilapidated texture, the internal development strategy can work, but it needs serious attention from the relevant authorities, because in the examination of the components, it was found that all the components are not in a suitable and desirable condition. The importance of all components is such that not paying attention to one of them causes disruption in planning. In the meantime, the capacity and social life of the residents of Zahedan's worn-out fabric is unfavorable from all aspects, including security, sense of belonging, attachment, sense of unity, sense of partnership and cooperation, and... They don't have texture. This is related to the lack of facilities and services in texture. For example, the residents do not have the proper economic capacity and support and end up in poverty, this makes them not take action to improve their housing. This is due to the negligence of the officials because they have not injected special welfare and credit facilities into the fabric and from this point of view it is in crisis and chaos. While by attracting public and private capitals and credits, the situation of Baft can be turned upside down. Even institutions such as the relief and welfare committee and popular institutions, philanthropists and elders have done the least for the residents of this context. By preparing and implementing strategic plans for participatory and city-oriented operations and proper urban management, and monitoring and standardizing houses, streets and roads, and investigating the problems and problems of the aforementioned neighborhoods, the relevant authorities prevented the random process of the city's untidy settlements and Both the northern area of the city will be presented as the most important and most prosperous center of biological activity in the southeast of the country, and the fields of internal development will be provided in these areas.



Conclusion

In order to achieve the goals of sustainable development, the theory of internal development is proposed, which is one of the ten principles of smart growth. In this type of development, the city expands vertically instead of horizontally. In the endogenous development of the city, unlike other urban development policies, barren and ineffective lands are considered as the mechanism and realization of the internal development policies of the city. We come to this conclusion that there are abandoned, unused, inefficient and worn out spaces in the city that we can use the capacities and potentials of these lands by improving and renovating such textures and with a proper planning. From this point of view, in the city of Zahedan, according to the major development goals, including improving the quality and level of structural integrity of the city in order to support the inner-city development of the approved urban area, the best option is internal development and using the capacities and potentials of this sector. Considering the problem and the necessity of the research, the current research examines and evaluates the components of internal development in the dilapidated context of Zahedan city using statistical tests and models such as one-sample t-test, regression and swara. The results of the T- test of a sample show that the internal development of worn-out tissues in Zahedan city has an average of 2.45, which is lower than the base limit (3). Therefore, the internal development of worn-out tissues of Zahedan city is not in a suitable and desirable condition. The regression results show that among the dimensions affecting the internal development of worn-out tissues of Zahedan city, the social dimension with a beta coefficient of /544 has the most influence, economic with /390 in the second place, administrative with /272 in the third place, physical with /251 in the third place. In the fourth order, the environment with /245 in the fifth order and finally the access dimension with a beta value of /224 has the least effect. The results of Swara's decision-making technique indicate that among the dimensions of internal development, the economic dimension with a final weight of 0.237 is in the first place, the physical dimension is in the second place with 0.202, access is in the third place with 0.173, and the social dimension is with 0.149. The fourth place is the environment with 0.128 in the fifth place and finally the legal-administrative dimension with a final weight of 0.111 is in the last place. In the end, it is necessary to make a comparative comparison with related research. In this regard, it can be stated that the results of the present research are in line with the research of Ali Akbari and Varesi (2019), who believe that creating housing in the future and city development plans in all environmental, economic, social, and physical dimensions. Except for the access dimension, the main factor of the physical expansion of the city is in one direction.
