Abstract

Objective: Urban poverty is one of the main problems in dilapidated areas, and today these two issues are intertwined and have created an inappropriate urban structure. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of urban poverty on the spatial-physical structure of worn-out tissues in the city of Izeh.
Methods: The method of conducting the present study is descriptive-analytical, the information of which has been collected through library studies and by completing a questionnaire. The statistical population of the study is households living in dilapidated neighborhoods of Izeh with sample size. And for data analysis, the statistical approach of structural equation modeling (SEM) and the first two-factor confirmatory factor analysis test were used.
Results:Analysis of the findings of structural equation modeling indicates that among the measured indicators, among the components of urban poverty, economic index which has played a very important role in the physical-spatial structure of the worn-out tissue of Izeh city with Decreasing this index, physical-spatial structure has increased inadequacy. Also, by examining the migration patterns and choosing the area for living by residents and neighbors, the satisfaction of non-native neighbors in the area, non-native immigrants and improving the spatial and physical condition shows that the main reason for residents and immigrants to choose neighborhood for living is equality. Neighbors are economically and income-generating.
Conclusion: The results of the structural equations equation show that there is a significant relationship between the components of urban poverty and the components of the physical-spatial structure of the worn-out urban fabric. Therefore, in order to take the necessary measures, it needs the serious attention of city and regional managers and planners.
