Abstract

Open, arid, unbuilt spaces by roadside, in neighborhoods and urban areas are of hidden urban areas that despite numerous potential, they are left unused. Due to lack of proper public sport places in the cities, by changing into open sports ground, these spaces can be a good opportunity to improve the quality of life, organization of urban spaces, neighborhood orientation, and development of public services and welfare. Although transforming the urban non-spaces into spaces to dynamic sports spaces has happened in some cities based on article 110 of the Municipal Act, the neglect of social and economic structure of consumer groups, non-functional hierarchy of sports grounds, lack of attention to the texture and the absence of clear standards and criteria to choose the kind of exercise in proportion to the size and orientation of user groups have reducing the productivity of the land. The aim of this study is to identify criteria to categorize temporary outdoor sports grounds and classify them according to the criteria extracted. The method of study is based on field research methods and techniques of hierarchical analysis, fuzzy logic models and integrating layers. The results of this research is to develop different standards in terms of social, economic, physical, environmental and management issues about grouping these lands to increase productivity and efficiency. The criteria are determined in terms of location analysis, evaluation and grouping of land. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2016.v7n4S1p65

Highlights

  • One of the most basic processes of human society has been the process of urbanization, which has increasingly been growing in the past century (Mirei et al, 2012: 104)

  • The issue of how open land scattered in the neighborhoods and urban areas can be adapted to the social structure of nearby residents, the neighborhood and a variety of sports tailored to the texture, maximum performance and the use of potentials in order to raise quality of life and urban spaces is of cases in which special planning is required

  • The criteria used in the classification of the sports fields are huge qualitative and quantitative criteria that are in conformity with each other have the capability of grouping open sport land

Summary

Introduction

One of the most basic processes of human society has been the process of urbanization, which has increasingly been growing in the past century (Mirei et al, 2012: 104) Because of this growth and its dramatic effects, we witness lost spaces in the context of urban spaces. Methods of data collection in the study in studying environment is divided into three main categories including survey, focal points are observation. In this regard, the current situation of open sports fields in terms of size, location, neighborhood, and type of access are separately evaluated and identified. Various measures have been introduced in the classification of land and land are grouped according to their socio-economic and physical status
