Abstract
Since the dilapidated texture in most cities includes the initial core of the city's formation, this disrupts the formation of spatial connection and unity between the central, middle and peripheral parts. The revival of old and dilapidated historical findings in terms of their authenticity and historical and cultural identity, which are referred to as cultural wealth, can be effective and influential in creating a balance between the old and new body in line with the balanced and sustainable development of the city. The aim of this research is to prioritize and determine dilapidated places for spring organization by renovating the dilapidated texture of Shiraz using the AHP model in the GIS environment. In this research, quantitative methods have been used to examine and organize the dilapidated texture of Shiraz. Using descriptive research methods and field observations, the required information has been collected and stored in the geographic information system. Then, the stored information has been experienced and analyzed using the capabilities of the Geographic Information System (GIS) software, and dilapidated places have been determined and prioritized for organization. According to the process and results of the research in the present study, or the formation of a database and by examining important variables such as the population of the desired urban user, the location, the compatibility factor, the desirability, the distance from the other uses, and by utilizing the geographic information system technology, it has been evaluated. Then, through the AHP model, each of the layers was first weighted individually and then their final weight was determined in combination with other layers, enabling decision-makers and officials to visualize the importance of different criteria in decision-making.
