Abstract:

Rasht metropolis is located in north of Iran, being located on the transit road of Tehran – Astara, and is the capital of the Guilan province. All metropolises, generally, have similar characteristics, because they are areas involving the most important and advantageous activities. This research studies a framework of spatial, skeletal, administrative, economic, and social factors in Rasht city of Iran. Studies have shown that because Rasht is located in the center of the region and as a result of delivering administrative, business, educational, cultural, medical, etc. services, it hosts a huge population from the suburbs and other cities and towns of the province. Consequently, the need for different services also increases. Further, 40% of business and residential buildings are located in the old, timeworn and outworn parts of the city, which has physical and skeletal triteness, need repair and reconstruction, but the reconditioning ratio has not exceeded 10% annually as a result of financial problems and uncertainty in building possession
