Purpose: Nowadays, the big cities of the country are facing the phenomenon of informal settlements in the outskirts of the cities due to unplanned physical development, so most of the villages on the outskirts of the cities, which have been added to this fabric due to urban sprawl, are included in the settlements. They become informal. Therefore, all the institutions, organizations, and departments involved in managing cities are trying to improve the condition of these settlements with a series of policies, laws, and regulations such as re-creation. In this regard, the current research aims to identify practical solutions for developing the physical re-creation of informal settlements in the rural areas on the outskirts of Zahedan City, emphasizing urban management.
Methods: This research is part of applied research. According to its purpose and nature, it is a combination of methods (quantitative and qualitative) and analytical-descriptive. The techniques (DEMATEL and Grounded theory) were used to analyze the data. The statistical population, managers, and specialists were selected as the sample population based on the purposeful sampling of 26 people.
Results: From the results of identifying effective strategies for the development of physical re-creation of informal rural settlements on the outskirts of Zahedan city with an emphasis on urban management, 8 strategies (opportunity-oriented approach, education and awareness about the importance of re-creation, realization of integrated management, creation of support and productive institutions to promote rural re-creation, use of decentralized development in re-creation, realization of re-creation goals with the participation of residents, private and public sector, spatial justice, compatibility of laws with the local system of re-creation management) According to the results of DEMATEL model (use of decentralized development in re-creation, realization of re-creation goals with the participation of residents, private and public sector, realization of integrated management, creation of support and production institutions to promote rural re-creation) with positive EI value were determined as effective solutions.
Conclusion: The final results showed that it is possible to achieve the proposed solutions in the rural areas on the outskirts of Zahedan city with decentralization and facilitation. The integration between the institutions to formulate the principles of integrated management and create joint efforts between them, as well as bringing the people to the stage and the development of local institutions, requires decentralization and changing the development approach from top to bottom, bottom to top so that inter-institutional interactions are developed and capacity There is a requirement for interaction.
