Abstract

 
Housing renovation is one of the important strategies in the regeneration of inefficient (deteriorated) urban fabrics. In this regard, various policies have been pursued in recent decades to encourage people to renovate. Identifying the spatial relationships of renovated buildings within the deteriorated fabric area, along with the variables influencing it, as well as predicting renovation, are of great importance, which forms the objective of this research. Therefore, in this study, in the first stage, using Moran's I and Getis-Ord Gi* statistics, the spatial relationships of the implemented renovations were examined. In the next stage, by employing socio-economic and physical variables, the factors influencing housing renovation were analyzed using logistic regression, and the probability of housing renovation at the block level was presented spatially. The results indicate that housing renovation in Bushehr is concentrated in specific neighborhoods and blocks in a clustered manner compared to other neighborhoods. Furthermore, the type of ownership and the number of non-apartment units had the highest significance level and a positive relationship with renovation. Other variables such as proximity to the city center, average number of floors, and average plot access to the street at the block level had the most influence. In contrast, variables such as the literacy rate at the block level, employment rate, percentage of deteriorated buildings in the block, and households per residential unit at the block level had the lowest level of significance and importance in housing renovation within the study area. The probability of renovation is higher in the neighborhoods of Sangi, Ashuri, Hezar Dastgah, Chahar Sad Dastgah, Davas, and Khajeha than in other neighborhoods.
