Abstract

In recent decades, the dilapidated urban fabric of the city of Tabriz, particularly the Yusefabad neighborhood, has faced numerous economic and social challenges such as poverty and crimeand other problems. The unsuccessful experience of the government's forced interventions in renewing these areas prompted this study to evaluate and prioritize intervention strategies in the dilapidated Yusefabad neighborhood with an emphasis on public participation. The main objective of this research is to assess the feasibility of revitalization strategies in the dilapidated Yusefabad neighborhood, focusing on public participation. This study falls into the category of quantitative research, utilizing a descriptive-analytical methodology. Initially, a questionnaire was developed and three Delphi groups were formed. Data analysis was conducted using mean values and a one-sample t-test in the SPSS software environment. According to the one-sample t-test, participatory methods scored the highest in terms of satisfaction. By combining indices and creating new variables, variables related to participation, incremental housing, infill development, empowerment, and consolidation had the highest means and were prioritized based on the degree of public participation. The consistency of the analyses in selecting participatory methods underscores the importance of interaction between officials and residents, group activities in executive affairs, and the strengthening of residents' sense of responsibility toward their living environment. In this context, special attention must be given to engaging citizens in research, design, and implementation. This research, aside from its scientific innovation and solution provision, has practical applicability and could yield positive political, security, social, and cultural outcomes.So that the security problem of these areas is also solved
