Abstract

In developing countries, one of the critical issues in urban planning is investigating and recognizing the quality of life (QoL) in metropolitan areas and preparing a comprehensive solution for it. Recognition of QoL indicators and evaluating their situation in different urban areas is a significant aspect of urban planning and development in metropolitan areas. The present study aims to evaluate the defined indicators of QoL in the urban areas of Tabriz Metropolis. After identifying the effective criteria, a pairwise comparison was conducted by the AHP method to find their weights. Then, ten Tabriz Municipality Districts and three towns located in the metropolitan area, including Basmenj, Sardrood, and Khosrowshahr, were ranked using the models of VIKOR, ELECTRE, and MORRIS. The results indicated that the QoL of districts 5, 2, and 9 among the municipality districts got the highest ranks and had a better situation than the other districts. On the other hand, districts 1, 4, and 6 have no good conditions in terms of QoL. Among the studied towns, Sardrood has better conditions regarding QoL than the others.

发展中国家大都市区生活质量评价:以伊朗大不里士为例

在发展中国家，城市规划的关键问题之一是调查和确认都市地区的生活质量，并为此准备一个全面的解决办法。认识生活质量指标并评估其在不同城市区域的状况是都市圈城市规划和发展的一个重要方面。本研究旨在评价大不里士大都市区界定的生活质量指标。确定有效标准后，采用层次分析法两两比较确定其权重。然后，利用VIKOR、ELECTRE、MORRIS模型，对大不里士市的10个自治市和首都圈的Basmenj、Sardrood、Khosrowshahr等3个镇进行了排名。结果表明，5区、2区和9区生活质量排名最高，情况较其他区好。另一方面，1区、4区和6区在生活质量方面的条件并不好。在所研究的城镇中，萨罗德镇的生活质量条件较好。
