Abstract

The indiscriminate continuation of urbanization and the sprawl growth of cities has inevitably created the phenomena of creep, corrosion, annexation or integration. The annexation of large villages to the city is one of the policies of urban development that has been carried out in order to reduce numerous economic, social, physical and environmental problems. The application of the urban village model can create an effective role in preserving the environment and improving the quality of life in rural settlements and order and peace in urban settlements in the country by guiding and controlling new constructions compatible with the characteristics of the rural context. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. With Cochran's formula, the sample count is 385 people have been obtained. The sampling method in this research is simple random and the reliability of the questionnaire based on Cronbach's alpha is 0.850. The aim of the research is to identify and rank annexed zones in order to promote sustainability based on the urban village model. To analyze the data, the CODAS method has been used as one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. Based on the results of weighting, population criteria, building density, space design and walkability, environmental protection and cleanliness are weighted respectively (0.16), (0.12), (0.08), (0.8). 0, (0.06), the most important criteria among the 20 existing ones. The results of CODAS technique show that Mahdasht and Ahidasht neighborhood with (1/80) and (1/55) rank first and second, respectively, Baladeza and Balamaliek (1.40) third and fourth, Sharif Abad and Hevela with (1.38) and (0/419) fifth and sixth, Zoghalchal and Paeindeza with (-0/219) and (-0/921), ranked 7th and 8th, and finally, the neighborhoods of Pol Gardan and Qoroqh with (-1/83) and (-2/48) have taken the ninth and tenth place. Based on the obtained results, Mahdasht with the highest amount and Qarq with the lowest amount of sustainability in social, economic, physical and environmental indicators, respectively, were recognized as the most appropriate and the most inappropriate option among the extension areas of Sari city in line with the implementation of the urban village model.
