Objective: Strengthening potential villages and small towns is one of the most important strategies for regional balance and regulating and controlling population movements and rural-urban migrations. In this regard, the rural-urban development model based on the principles of the New Urbanism Charter is one of the successful models in this regard, which has been implemented in various countries and has yielded successful results. In this regard, the most important goal of this research is to identify the critical drivers affecting the development of the physical-architectural pattern of the village-city in the study area.
Research Method: In this article, with an exploratory approach and based on common methods in futures studies, the drivers affecting the development of the rural-urban pattern have been evaluated and analyzed. The research method consists of two stages: evaluating and identifying research variables based on the Delphi method and discovering critical drivers based on the structural analysis method.
Findings: The research findings show that out of the 40 variables identified in the first stage, 15 variables are critical drivers of the development of the rural-urban pattern in the suburbs of Imamzadeh, Urmia city, among which the variable of land use mix with a total impact of 1012 has the highest impact and the variable of continuous internal transportation network with 568 has the lowest impact among the research variables. Conclusion: Considering what was mentioned about the process of rural-urban migration, it can be concluded that large villages and those prone to development have favorable potentials for attracting overflow and immigrant populations to cities, and by providing appropriate development patterns, taking into account environmental factors and sustainable development, along with modern world conditions and technological advances, a favorable environment can be provided for the residents of rural habitats, and perhaps by fulfilling the aforementioned conditions, reverse migrations can be observed. |
