Abstract

In the new urban and community management system, the neighborhoods’ residents did not have much influence on the affairs of the neighborhoods, and this quickly created a sense of lack of identity, indifference, disinclination, finally, unwillingness in them. The present study attempts to study the urban managers’ productions by modeling the Islamic and religious society and based on the final consumers’ (residents) viewpoints. In addition, the study is to develop appropriate strategies for reaching the desired neighborhood in the Iranian-Islamic city.
The research method is "applied" based on the purpose of the study, “descriptive” based on the research method, and "survey and field research" based on how the data are collected. The sample size is calculated using the Cochran formula and with regard to the maximum heterogeneity hypothesis as 380 participants. The present study was done in the primary and traditional six districts of Ardabil City. The data collection instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire prepared (Research dimensions include i.e. physical, cultural and social, economic and environmental dimensions with more than 100 questions) by basing the theoretical foundation and library studies. The SPSS software program was employed for statistical analyzes and To compare the desired urban neighborhoods of fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making was used.
Based on field studies and surveys, the neighborhoods of Ardabil (especially in the studied areas) are distant from their ideal situation in an Iranian-Islamic city, and in different dimensions there are some deficiencies that can be observed and enforced Some strategies and principles are achievable.
