Abstract

The increasing population and the growing trend of urbanization have brought destructive consequences for cities. The persistence of such urbanization growth with social, economic, and environmental problems is a crisis and a threat to the stability of cities. Problems such as pollution, and traffic, greatly reduce the quality of life and environment in cities. This research aims to analyze the livability of the Siros neighborhood with an emphasis on the sustainable development of District 12 of Tehran Municipality. The current study is descriptive-analytical in terms of method and nature, and it is in the category of applied research in terms of the research purpose. The library study is used to collect information. The statistical population of this research includes the experts of the 12th district of Tehran and the Siros neighborhood development office and the sampling method was stratified. The studies in livability with an emphasis on sustainable development have mostly described and analyzed livability in the studied area, and the proposed model is not presented in the field of the realization of livability. The theoretical framework and one Sample T-Test are based on a structural model. The results show that the livability status of the Siros neighborhood with an emphasis on sustainable development is in an unfavorable and moderate situation. The results of structural equation modeling show that physical-environmental factors with a beta coefficient of 34.24 have the greatest impact on livability in the studied neighborhood, and management factors with a beta coefficient of 4.2 have the least impact.
