Abstract

One of the primary goals of the urban planning process is to maintain and improve the quality of the urban environment and consequently improve the quality of life. The concepts of quality of the environment and quality of life, which is actually an action against one-dimensional economic development at the national level and purely physical development at the urban scale, is an effort to achieve quality criteria in the field of urban planning; Therefore, the necessity of knowing the current state of urban life quality and measuring and evaluating it has become one of the most important aspects of studies in urban planning issues. The quality of urban life is one of the terms that does not have a clear and uniform definition; Although people instinctively understand its meaning easily, it is not the same concept for them. For this reason, its measurement requires a comprehensive and specific definition so that its various dimensions can be examined in a transparent manner; Therefore, indicators and criteria for measuring people's quality of life should be determined. Therefore, in this research, the main indicators and criteria for defining the quality of life were extracted from various texts, and then among them, suitable indicators for evaluating the quality of urban life in dilapidated urban contexts were selected and analyzed in Hashemi neighborhood, which is one of the dilapidated urban neighborhoods located in 10 district of Tehran. In the end, according to the investigations, it was determined that Hashemi neighborhood is facing problems from various aspects such as the high and prevalence of crime and delinquency among young people, the lack of quality recreational and leisure spaces, insecurity at night, etc., and appropriate solutions are needed. Solutions to these issues and problems were presented.
