Abstract

Urban prosperity can be considered as one of the most recent views in urban planning, which is associated with balanced and harmonious development in an environment of fairness and justice, and is based on concepts derived from the concept of sustainable development. The present research is applied in terms of nature and method; descriptive-analytical and purpose-oriented. The data needed for the research data were first prepared by SPSS software and raw materials were entered into the models. Using the T test, the urban flourishing condition of the eight regions of Kermanshah was measured and then entered into the EXCEL program environment. And by using multi-criteria decision-making models such as Vicore, Electric, Tapiss and Copeld's integration model, Kermanshah regions were ranked and prioritized in terms of urban flourishing. T-test results for urban flourishing indicators showed that the difference between regions at the level of urban flourishing indicators was significant and the highest difference was in area 1 (3.2) in the operation index, Therefore, it is important to study this difference using decision making models. The final results of this study showed that based on the analysis of applied multi criteria models and the Copeland integration model (POSET), the ranking of the degree and suitability of each of the eight areas of the city of Kermanshah in a total of combined urban flourishing indicators, respectively, included areas one, six, eight, three , Seven, five, four and finally the second region. Therefore, the Kermanshah city has the highest priority and the first priority in terms of urban flourishing indicators, and the last one is allocated to the second region.
