Abstract

Objective: Today, the perform of the smart city as a famous paradigm in the world in order to get rid of the growing problems and complexities caused by widespread urbanization, is more important than ever Therefore, the present study, in order to use the theory of chaos in the framework of the paradigm of complexity and to understand the current complex conditions of the metropolis of Ahvaz in order to achieve a smart city in this metropolis did research.
Methods: The present article is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The data collection tool is a researcher-made electronic questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale; In order to analyze the data, mean statistical tests, one-sample t-test and Friedman ranking were used using SPSS software. The statistical population of the study is experts working in the executive apparatus involved in the urban area of ​​Ahvaz. The statistical sample of this study is 380 samples that were selected by snowball sampling and supervised network.
Results, chaos theory prevails in the metropolis and due to extreme weakness in the self-organizing balance component on the one hand and high power in three chaotic components of nonlinear effect, butterfly effect and unknown fascinates, the rule of chaos theory It is a serious obstacle to the realization of a smart city in the metropolis of Ahvaz.
Conclusion: Therefore, strengthening the power of organization in the metropolis of Ahvaz is of strategic importance.
