Abstract

The Creative cities are those that are able to offer new solutions to their daily problems. A creative city is a place for creativity to grow and develop in the city, for artistic creativity, scientific and technological innovation, the voice of a growing culture. Urban planners play a significant role in this regard. Therefore, the degree of creativity of cities is considered a critical issue for the development of large cities. Progressively moving toward a creative city is very necessary for spurring development, because the cities are those environments in which social, economic and cultural interactions take place. The purpose of the present research is to analyze the characteristics of the creative city using the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) in Kermanshah. It is an applied research in terms of aim and descriptive-analytical in terms of methodology. In the process of preparing and collecting data, first the effective factors on the creative city of Kermanshah have been identified using the views of 30 city managers, professors and experts in universities and research centers through the Delphi method. To analyze the information of eight factors as strong influential factors on the creative city, the case of Kermanshah, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) has been used and then analyzed by Mic Mac software. The results showed that the criteria of efficient transportation system and carbon-free energy system are the most effective and the criteria of strong social structure and safe houses are among the most effective factors and social dimension is the most significant indicator of creative city in Kermanshah. The results of Mick Mac also show that all factors belong to connective variables except green space factor.
