Abstract

Evaluation and ranking of rural settlements based on the stages of texture deterioration is critical for rural renovation. However, far too little attention has been paid to topic in the literature. This study focuses on the evaluation and ranking of rural settlements based on the stages of texture deterioration. To do so, we use the Overall Weighing (OW) method (a combination of objective weighing methods including Entropy, CRITIC, IDOCRIW, and subjective weighing method including Rank Sum) and the combinative distance-based assessment (CODAS) method as powerful methods in Multi-criteria decision making. The research method is descriptive-applied where data is collected both library and field. The objective data were collected from 260 rural households and fifteen local managers in the deteriorated villages on the Tehran metropolitan fringe through questionnaire forms. Similalry, the subjective data was collected from fifteen elites and scientific experts. The results indicate high rural migration rate factor is superior compared to other indices. Besides, Hesar Kouchak village has a more unfavorable situation than other villages that is followed by other villages including Mazdaran, Qala Boland, Mashhad Firoozkooh, Kabirabad, Yahar, Quinak Rakhshani, Jafarabad Baqraf, Hesar Mehtar, Zavareh Bid, Ramin, Atashan, Vastar, Hasanabad Baqraf, and ultimately Salehabad Sharqi.
