Presentation of Economic Regeneration Model in Historic Fabric Based on Order in Structural Functionalism Theory

Historic fabric can perform an important role in the development of cities. Urban sustainable regeneration is one of the recent approaches in historic fabric. In this approach, all indicator of sustainable development including economic, social, cultural, management and environmental dimensions have been used in conservation of the historic fabric. All the principles of sustainable development have been proposed in regeneration. This research aim is explaining model of economic Regeneration in historic fabric based on Parsons Structural Functionalism. Structural Functionalism Theory has identified social system into subsystems which have A (Adaptation functions), G(Goal gratification functions), I(Integration functions), and L(Latent pattern maintenance functions). This theory was based on the concern for the stability or maintenance of social system. This paper merges structural functionalism theory with economic regeneration in historic fabric. Documents and statements of regeneration have been restored since the 1990s. Many studies have been done on this topic. Each of them proposes principles for the realization of regeneration but until now, comprehensive variables have not been introduced in this field. The Methodology of this research is Documentary method and qualitative content analysis in method. The model has been explained by analyses of documents, statements, charter and previous research. The zone of this research is all of the historical fabrics. The method of Data collection is documentary. The reliability of the research has been confirmed with a scorecard of 87.6% between the professors and protection specialists in the Scott test. Economic regeneration was characterized by four dimensions: Economic value, investment, Economic activity in historic fabric and Branding. These variables were located in structural functionalism theory. Economic value has been located in adaptation function; investment has been located in goal gratification function, Economic activity in historical fabric has been located in integration function and Branding has been located in latent pattern maintenance function.
