Abstract
This paper aims to prioritize intervention in urban deteriorated fabrics of Eslamshahr city. Worn-out textures in Eslamshahr (south west neighbor of Tehran), despite having potential facilities, unfortunately, in areas such as network infrastructure, water, electricity, telephone, and gas networks are becoming physical problems of the city against unforeseen events such as an earthquake. So that improvement, renovation and restoration of these textures could be very effective in making the Eslamshahr development sustainable. The studied deteriorated fabric covers an area of 104 hectares and has a population of about 42,664 people. Problems and challenges such as the domain of low-income people living, non-proportional distribution of services, marginalization and extensive urban deteriorated are among the most evident challenges. In this study, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the weighting and ranking of triple structures and variables related to each structure of the worn-out texture in Eslamshahr region took place. Weighting of criteria has been carried out based on research and comment of professionals and experts. Intervention indicators in the studied fabric are recognized and prioritized based on physical, social and economic factors. Considered indicators include type of Land Use, Passage network, Building occupies, Building Density, Number of floors, Building Life, Number of blocks, Constructions materials and skeleton, Separation of parts and Building quality. After evaluation using analytical hierarchy process and according to opinions of experts, rank each of the parameters was obtained and then with using ArcGIS software overlay map have been designed and evaluated. Result of this study revealed which a pattern can be presented for intervention of worn-out texture in Eslamshahr.
Highlights
Worn-out texture is one of the important issues in public policy making, which is brought many consistent pursuits and interests during the past two decades in theoretical and practical fields (Ford, 1999; Roberts and Huag, 2002; Habibi et al, 2007; Hajipour, 2007; Jahanian and Pajoohan, 2011; Sedaghat Rostami et al, 2011; Sharifzadegan et al, 2011)

Summary
Worn-out texture is one of the important issues in public policy making, which is brought many consistent pursuits and interests during the past two decades in theoretical and practical fields (Ford, 1999; Roberts and Huag, 2002; Habibi et al, 2007; Hajipour, 2007; Jahanian and Pajoohan, 2011; Sedaghat Rostami et al, 2011; Sharifzadegan et al, 2011). Worn-out texture within itself that considering and planning for renovation and improvement of the texture solving the existing problems could provide the needs of the city development, at least in part (Habibi et al, 2007; Hajipour, 2007; Jahanian and Pajoohan, 2011; Sedaghat Rostami et al, 2011; Sharifzadegan et al, 2011). AHP begins by defining the basic issue and requires a hierarchy for decision-making which includes decision criteria. These criteria are arranged in descending order from the goal to criteria and sub-criteria. In this study, Weighting of criteria has been carried out based on research and comment of professionals and experts
