a look at the concept of diversity in richard sennett’s the open city theory (case study: khayyam area of qazvin city)

The diversity of the urban space is one of the basic factors in the contemporary urban design system, which is caused by the social, biological, and economic benefits, etc. it has been widely welcomed by modern urban models. however, iran’s urban planning and design system has not received enough attention, and such a weakness reduces the livability level of urban collective areas from the micro to the macro level. since different dimensions have not been properly analyzed in the studies of the urban system of iran, therefore, the present research aims to analyze and find the roots of the concept of diversity in the framework of richard sennett’s the open city theory. the research method of this research is presented in the form of visual approaches and placement of each component and sub-component in all three types of tissue (intermediate tissue, new tissue and old tissue) in the study areas and in the quantitative part, the evaluation of the questionnaire based on the opinions of the experts is discussed, in this section, the kolmogorov-smirnov test is used to evaluate and rank the three ranges based on friedman’s tradition theory. the statistical population of this research is all professors who have opinions in this field and the sampling method is snowball. the reason for using richard sennett’s theory is that he is trying to link between function and body with social issues in the diversity system of urban space, and khayyam area is the example of this research. the obtained results show that according to the opinions obtained, the northern khayyam area of qazvin has the most diversity according to the tradition theory and khayyam in the middle has less diversity due to the repetition of certain types of uses and the attraction of certain strata, finally, khayyam in the south has the lowest amount of diversity due to the presence of administrative and medical centers and the loss of living space at certain times.
