Abstract

The city of Sanandaj in Kurdistan province, having a large part of worn-out urban structures in the core and central parts of the city, needs serious attention in terms of urban planning and management. This research aims to investigate and analyze the impact of empowerment components in the sustainable regeneration of worn-out structures in Sanandaj city. The current research is descriptive-analytical in terms of method and applied in terms of purpose. Library and field methods and questionnaires were used to collect information. The statistical population of the research is the residents of the worn-out area of Sanandaj (328250 people). The sample size was calculated as 308 people through Cochran's formula, and simple random sampling was used to complete the questionnaire. The findings of Amon T showed that the state of empowerment in the sustainable regeneration of the worn-out fabric of Sanandaj is in an unfavorable state. Moreover, based on the obtained results, the education component equal to 0.81 has the greatest effect on the sustainable regeneration of worn-out tissues of Sanandaj city. After that, the components of clarification (P = 0.001, β = 0.74), confidence (P = 0.001, β = 0.69), organizations (P = 0.001, 43 β=0.0), and access to resources (p=0.004, β=0.29) had a significant effect on the sustainable regeneration of worn-out tissues in Sanandaj city. Therefore, it can be concluded that the status of the components of empowerment in the sustainable regeneration of worn-out tissues of Sanandaj city is at an inappropriate level, and in the direction of the sustainable regeneration of these tissues, the components of education, transparency, and trust have a great role, which needs more attention in urban development programs to achieve sustainability.
