Abstract
Today, urban regeneration has become an important issue in urban management based on the various needs of urban development from the cultural, economic, community relations, etc. points of view. In this regard, Qeshm has a high potential for development due to its classification as a free zone and containing significant tourist areas, and on the other hand, any development requires a regeneration framework. Therefore, the present study focuses on developing a conceptual framework for urban regeneration in Qeshm. The research method is a review of library studies, Persian and Latin articles, document review, and interviews with experts in this field. The results obtained from reviewing various studies in this field indicate the impact of many factors in developing a conceptual framework for urban regeneration. Based on the researcher's experiences and assessments conducted and consulting with experts on various parameters affecting the urban regeneration pattern, and considering that Qeshm has significant talent in the field of biotourism, and consequently, economic development potential. Therefore, the present study concludes that a city can benefit from an efficient and sustainable urban regeneration model if its economic, environmental, and social aspects are prioritized.
