Abstract

urban nightlife has been used as one of the most important strategies for survival in the central areas of cities in leading countries. The present study has been evaluated by descriptive-analytical method and based on Delphi, documentary and field techniques (direct observation), with the aim of determining appropriate strategies for the continuation of nightlife in the 12th metropolitan area of Tehran. The members of the Delphi delegation, including 15 specialists with scientific (research) and practical experience (municipal staff of District 12) as well as experts related to District 12, have been selected by the snowball technique. After recognizing the status of indicators of urban nightlife, it has presented appropriate strategies. First, the obtained data were classified using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model and it was determined that the user mixing index with a score of 0.235, the public spaces and tourism index with a score of 0.198, the services and facilities index with a score of 0.178, Transportation index with a score of 0.157, lighting index with a score of 0.093, security index with a score of 0.081 and landscape index with a score of / 057, respectively, the highest to the lowest level in terms of utility, for urban night life Earned. Then in the strategic planning process (SWOT), experts were used to score the matrix of internal and external factors. In the end, it was found that the strategic position of nightlife in area 12 is the revision or adaptive position (WO).
