SOCIO-CULTURAL CRITERIA FOR COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TOWARD PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN OF URBAN SPACES
Abstract
Nowadays Tourism is one of the most important
strategic tools for economic development of each country, which has a direct
impact on the increase of revenue, prosperity and development of different
regions and contributes to improving the quality of each country's cultural,
social and political relationships. It is significant to understand
consideration of importance of the subject, the purpose of this research is to
examine the role of the physical, functional, conceptual and environmental
factors on the tourism environment and understanding of city metabolism in the
framework of sustainable development for optimizing the quality of
destinations, life style, attraction of tourism and Utilizing the environmental
quality value system and making the city attractive. The method of this
research is analytical-descriptive and survey. First, we achieved to the
criteria of the quality by Literature Review, and then experts prioritized
them. Subsequently, these components were scored according to the polling process.
Using multiple criteria decision-making, which includes "DEMATEL" and
"ANP" methods, the DEMATEL method, is used to visualize the structure
of complicated causal relationships between criteria and obtain the influence
level of these criteria. Moreover, these influence level values are adopted as
the base of normalization super matrix for calculating ANP weights to obtain
the relative importance. By the concept of ideal point, some important
conclusions drawn from a practical application can be referred by practitioners
that we evaluated and measured the most important criteria for coding the
performance of urban spaces. On the one hand
The results show that the factors of "symbolic
","materials, and colors", "latent energy",
"access and permeability ","Energy consumption" ,are the
most effective to enhance the quality of
the environment .on the other hand "vitality ","environmental
comfort" ,"sense of belonging", "security, "ecosystem
stability "are the most affected factor by environment respectively.
