To determine the sample size, Cochran's sampling method was used, resulting in a sample of 360 households. Based on prior studies, relevant indicators were selected, and a questionnaire was designed accordingly. Fieldwork was conducted to collect data. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics such as mean, frequency percentage, and standard deviation were utilized. For statistical analysis, the Sign Test and Chi-Square Test were applied. Additionally, the Friedman Test was used to classify and prioritize the impact levels.
Findings and Discussion: According to the results, urban renewal in Bagherabad had the greatest positive impact on the economic dimension. The physical and social dimensions ranked second and third respectively. The environmental dimension showed the lowest level of impact.In other words, urban renewal in the Bagherabad neighborhood has led to improvements in economic and physical components. However, social and environmental dimensions have not seen significant improvement and remain in an undesirable state. It is worth noting that all dimensions, except the physical aspect, are statistically significant with a confidence level of 95%.
