Strategic Neighborhood-Based Planning to Enhance Perceptions of Quality of Life in Urban Deteriorated Areas with an Emphasis on Citizen Participation: A Case Study of District ۱۰ in Tehran

Improving urban quality of life is critical due to population density, pollution, complex infrastructures, and modern life pressures. For planners and policymakers, quality of life studies are essential for strategy formulation, policy evaluation, and monitoring. This research assesses quality of life using both objective and subjective indicators through a mixed-method approach. Data was collected quantitatively via GIS and statistical analyses and qualitatively through questionnaires and interviews with residents. Key domains-transportation, housing, social, and environmental-were identified using the Delphi method and expert panels supported by MAXQDA software. In Tehran’s District ۱۰, objective indicators were analyzed using library data, and subjective indicators were assessed through a survey of ۱۰۱ residents, selected via Cochran's method with SPSS for analysis. The study timeframe spans ۲۰۲۲-۲۰۲۴, with some reference to earlier data. Overlaying the two indicator sets revealed deprived neighborhoods, including Ji, Soleimani, and Hashemi. Strategic planning was applied to these areas with neighborhood-based and sustainable approaches, emphasizing green and playful spaces to enhance quality of life.
