Increasing the efficiency of worn-out urban fabric areas with an emphasis on the segmentation of buildings in the 4th district of Tabriz in Iran

Abstract

Today, residential units are the most important building blocks of cities, which occupy larger land in comparison with other uses. In the dilapidated context, the majority of the existing land use is dedicated to residential plots, but the existing dwellings in this context are not very efficient and even fail to respond to the residents' need for housing as a place of residence and peace. The purpose of the current research is to investigate the effectiveness of increasing the efficiency of the worn-out urban fabric areas with emphasis on the segmentation of buildings in the 4th area of Tabriz, which ends at Ostad Jafari Street from the north and Qods Street from the south. The research method used is a descriptive-analytical method and ArcGIS 10.8.1 software was also used to analyze the desired indicators (area, quality of buildings, orientation of residential parts, and compatibility of parts) of the range. The results of the research showed that in terms of the efficiency of building parts, they are in an unfavorable condition, and the criteria compiled for the modification of these structures will lead to an increase in the efficiency of buildings and residential parts compared to the situation before the intervention.
