Extended Abstract Introduction Nowadays, worn-out structures are one of the most critical challenges facing cities, and finding a way to improve their quality of life requires an integrated and comprehensive approach. Lack of attention to environmental considerations and attitudes in urban planning and simplifying natural patterns in the urban context, including rivers, will cause changes in their development processes and serious damage to their natural systems. Some inter-city riverside spaces are ones where the old texture of cities is usually formed next to them. Such spaces have capacities that can become a beautiful urban landscape. Finding a solution to improve the quality of life in urban issues requires an integrated and comprehensive approach to a balanced and comprehensive approach to deal with various socio-economic and physical problems in these urban areas. Advancing such an approach is not compatible with the current administrative structures in Iran and often faces serious challenges Another point that should be considered is that uncontrolled and unplanned physical development in recent decades has limited natural ecosystems' ecological capacity and capability and has imposed harmful impacts on the environment, such as air, water, soil, and natural environmental degradation. Naturalness around the city, etc. has been one of its consequences. Lack of paying attention to environmental considerations and attitudes in urban planning and simplification of natural patterns in the urban context, such as valleys, rivers, forest edges, and shores, leads to changes in their development and shaping processes and, finally, causes serious damage to their natural systems.  Due to the non-generality of such spaces in stabilizing the urban life system, it is necessary to pay a special attention to these areas and efforts should be made to develop different scientific principles and rules for them.   Some of the spaces in inter-city riversides are spaces, where the old texture of cities is usually formed next to them. Such spaces can become beautiful urban landscapes. Kermanshah city is one of the cities that   have these natural decorative elements but have been neglected. One of these rivers is the Abshuran River, which lack of paying attention to it in recent decades has caused several social and environmental problems for residents.   Methodology The present study was part of descriptive-analytical researches. Field and documentary (library) study methods were used to collect data. Data collection tools also included questionnaire, interview, observation and note taking, database, internet and satellite networks (Google Earth). A systematic random sampling method was used in this study. The factor analysis method in SPSS software was exerted to analyze the data.   Results and discussion In the present study, four neighbourhoods alongside the Abshuran River were examined. They were classified into three levels of very weak, weak, and moderate in terms of regeneration of worn-out texture. Based on the factor analysis method, 13 indicators were reduced to 4, including management, identity-meaning, economic, and socio-cultural. Four factors, accounted for 70.118% of the aggregated variance, which is a good percentage for factor analysis and studied variables. In terms of management factor (Factor 1), every four neighbourhoods of Chal Darvishan, Topkhaneh, Feyz Abad and BaqNey are undesirable, but the situation is slightly different in terms of identity-meaning factor.  Chal Darvishan and Feyz Abad neighbourhoods with a bit difference and Topkhaneh neighbourhood are undesirable, because they are part of the old and central neighbourhoods of Kermanshah. The study areas have a similar and somewhat unfavorable situation regarding the fourth factor (socio-cultural) and economic factors.   Conclusion Lack of paying attention to rivers and weak management of riverside spaces have turned these vital and valuable elements and their surrounding areas into one of the most dysfunctional areas in cities, which usually face significant environmental and social challenges. Additionally, their role and economic opportunities for citizens, in general, have been neglected. In recent decades, serious and valuable efforts have been made to manage some cities of Iran to organize and rehabilitate urban rivers and these efforts have re-considered the river as a natural and constructive heritage of life of cities. They have resulted in avoiding measures such as covering rivers and removing them from the city's natural and public spaces.   Examining the study area in the present study reflects that it has faced several problems due to the negligence of officials and people and under the influence of urban growth and development over the years. Its surrounding environment has also been affected and caused dissatisfaction among residents and citizens. The results show that the studied neighborhood's area rankings are Baq Ney, Feyz Aabad, Topkhaneh, and Chal Darvishan, respectively. However, the important point is that none of the neighbourhoods are in good status and integrated and comprehensive planning is required.   Funding There is no funding support.   Authors’ Contribution All of the authors approved thecontent of the manuscript and agreed on all aspects of the work.   Conflict of Interest Authors declared no conflict of interest.   Acknowledgments We are grateful to all the scientific consultants of this paper.}, keywords = {Urban regeneration,Worn-out Texture,urban River,Abshuran,Kermanshah}, title_fa = {بازآفرینی بافت‌های فرسوده حاشیه رودخانه شهری مطالعه موردی: بافت فرسوده حاشیه رودخانه آبشوران شهر کرمانشاه}, abstract_fa = {عدم توجه به ملاحظات و نگرش‌های محیطی در برنامه‌ریزی شهری و ساده‌سازی الگوهای طبیعی در بستر شهری ازجمله رودخانه‌ها، سبب تغییر فرایندهای شکل‌دهنده آن‌ها و آسیب جدی به سامانه‌های طبیعی‌شان می‌شود. برخی فضاهای حاشیه رودخانه‌های درون‌شهری فضاهایی هستند که معمولاً بافت فرسوده و قدیم شهرها در کنار آن‌ها شکل‌گرفته است. این‌گونه فضاها دارای ظرفیت‌هایی هستند که می‌توانند به یک منظر شهری زیبا و هویت‌مند تبدیل گردند. شهر کرمانشاه ازجمله شهرهایی است که از این عناصر طبیعی بهره برده، اما مورد بی‌توجهی واقع‌شده‌اند، ازجمله این رودخانه‌ها، رودخانه آبشوران است که بی‌توجهی به آن باعث معضلات متعدد شده است. این پژوهش به دنبال پاسخگویی به این سؤال است که برای بازآفرینی بافت‌های فرسوده شهری حاشیه رودخانه‌های شهری باید چه مواردی را مدنظر قرارداد. روش تحقیق، توصیفی – تحلیلی بوده و روش گردآوری اطلاعات، روش‌های میدانی و مطالعه اسنادی (کتابخانه‌ای) می‌باشد. برای تجزیه‌وتحلیل اطلاعات نیز از روش تحلیل عاملی در محیط نرم‌افزار SPSS استفاده‌شده است. در این پژوهش شاخص‌های اصلی برای ابعاد عملکردی، هویتی- معنایی، اجتماعی – فرهنگی و ... احصا گردید که این مؤلفه‌ها در قالب 4 عامل معنادار بارگذاری شده‌اند. نتایج نشان می‌دهد، رتبه‌بندی محلات محدوده مطالعاتی، طبق امتیازات عاملی به‌دست‌آمده برای هرکدام از آن‌ها، به ترتیب عبارت‌اند از باغ نی، فیض‌آباد، توپخانه و چال درویشان. یافته اصلی پژوهش این است که هیچ‌کدام از محلات محدوده مطالعاتی در وضعیت مطلوبی ازنظر مؤلفه‌های بازآفرینی قرار ندارند و می‌بایستی برای آن‌ها برنامه‌ریزی یکپارچه و جامعی صورت گیرد.}, keywords_fa = {بازآفرینی شهری,بافت فرسوده,رودخانه شهری,آبشوران,کرمانشاه}, url = {https://www.jscity.ir/article_159595.html}, eprint = {https://www.jscity.ir/article_159595_51d2836aa257082122d0946bb9f0cb97.pdf} }
