Abstract

Objective: Currently, the issue of urban regeneration in metropolitan tourism is of great importance for urban planners and policy makers. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effective indicators in the recreation of tourism in the metropolis of Tehran.
Methods: The present article is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. Shannon entropy method has been used to scale the regeneration indices. The regeneration indices are then prioritized using the TOPSIS model and one-sample t-test.
Results:Findings show that using TOPSIS model, according to experts, functional, aesthetic, environmental index with a weight of 0.63 has the highest share and social index with a weight of 0.38 and also economic index with a weight of 0.12 has the lowest share in reproduction. They have urban tourism space in the studied areas. Also, according to the single-sample t-test from the point of view of experts, the results of this test show that by considering alpha 0.05 at the level of 99% confidence in all three factors: functional, aesthetic, environmental, economic and Social as an independent variable was less than 0.05.
Conclusion: The result of one-sample t-test also indicates the exact scores of the indicators of recreation of tourism space confirming the results of the implementation of TOPSIS technique. Finally, in this hypothesis, it is emphasized that functional-aesthetic-environmental, economic and social factors have been effective in recreating the tourism space of the studied areas, but it seems that the functional-aesthetic-environmental factor has a greater share in the recreation of Tourism space in the studied areas.
