Authors

Abstract:

The rapid growth of urbanization and its consequences has led to an increase in the detrimental effects of the environment, social and economic disadvantages in many cities, especially metropolises. Mashhad metropolis is one of those cities that is affected by the rapid growth process inequality in access to facilities and pressure on bio resources. The purpose of this paper is to investigate sustainable city indicators in different dimensions of urban sustainability. At first, sustainable city indices were identified in six dimensions and 53 variables and indices were identified through questionnaires and map information, and then, by using paired weighted linear method (WLC), the stability of city neighborhoods was ranked by paired comparisons. The highest level of sustainability at the local scale is Kouye Doktora, Goharshad, Ershad, Valiasr neighborhoods. Zone 1 with four neighborhoods has the highest number of high-stability neighborhoods. Neighborhoods of KenehBist, Keshavarz, Derwey, Shahid Maghoul have the lowest levels of sustainability among neighborhoods. Zone 5 with four neighborhoods has the highest number of unstable neighborhoods among urban areas. Finally, using ArcGIS clustering functions based on F statistic and Mashhad clustering rules, it was divided into 7 homogeneous regions based on sustainability dimensions.
