Spatial Analysis of Physical Poverty of Urban Housing (Case Study: District 17 of Tehran)
Poverty as one of the unfavourable social and economic phenomena is one of the most important issues that has affected all countries. Housing is one of the important indicators for identifying poverty and deprivation. Providing adequate shelter and providing urban amenities and services is now one of the main problems of the growing urban population in Tehran. Various studies such as the comprehensive urban planning reports reflect the fact that the metropolis of Tehran faces many problems in the housing sector. The issue of the physical security of housing in the city of Tehran is one of the most fundamental problems that has severely threatened its sustainability. This research studies the physical housing poverty in Tehran District 17. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the type of research is essentially applied. In the descriptive section, the information required for the research has been collected through library studies, by the use of documentation, field studies and the use of a detailed plan; and in the analytical section, the physical analysis of housing poverty has been conducted by the use of the Fuzzy AHP model and spatial analysis (GIS). The findings of the research show that the District 17 of Tehran in its residential section faces problems such as low quality of buildings, the use of non-durable materials, etc. In terms of physical housing indices, Tehran District 17 has 13.9 hectares of very poor area (2.69%), 122.8 hectares of poor area (23.88%), 337.2 hectares of medium area (65.31%), 26 hectares of prosperous area (5.3%), and only 16.4 hectares of very prosperous area (3.17%)
