Abstract

With the development of the systemic approach in urban planning that attempted to identify various activities that determine the nature of the human environment and the relationships between them, various techniques have been developed, one of the most important of which is the models. In fact, a models is a simple reformation of reality which reduces the apparent complexity of the real world and transforms it into an understandable form. Therefore, conceptual and perceptual models are used to understand, interpret, and reform the facts in everyday lives. With regard to the complexities of urban issues, the possibility of exploiting from past teachings and experiences in the renovation of distressed urban textures, especially the conceptual model, that is derived from a domestic theory and is compatible with the circumstances in our country is being felt even more than before.
As a domestic theory, "The theory of balanced renovation in distressed urban fabrics", which has been proposed with emphasis on producing an innovative pattern in response to today’s needs for the renovation of these urban fabrics in Iran, has presented its conceptual model as a practical model in order to objectify and substantiate the principals of this theory. As a balance-based management, the balanced renovation conceptual model tries to guide towards bringing back the balance and to prevent deviating or getting out of balance in the renovation system of textures, areas and target districts.
The method of this research, with emphasis on the scientific research method, is to achieve the goal of balance while studying, recognizing and identifying the components that affect it. This is done by exploratory factor analysis and by identifying the factors affecting the nine networks and using successive dichotomies. The use of hierarchical cluster structure, in total, shapes a texture or neighborhood renovating system which is considered as a system derived from the general system of the city. The applicable-functional model is a two-dimensional model including index elements and model components, balance coefficients, deviation from balance, balance equation, and finally triple applications.
