Numerous urban centers within the nation are contending with the predicament of compromised urban fabric. Tackling this challenge necessitates the development of an innovative model capable of leveraging the comprehensive potential of society through interdisciplinary collaboration. Consequently, this investigation emphasizes the significance of effective urban governance in the revitalization of degraded urban fabric. This scholarly inquiry evaluates the influence of sound governance on the rejuvenation of dilapidated and ineffective urban fabric within the Nematabad locality. The research design integrates both quantitative and qualitative methodologies (mixed-methods) and is fundamentally applied in nature. Initially, the MAXQDA software was employed to discern indicators (qualitative analysis). A comprehensive total of 13 dimensions and 40 indicators were delineated to evaluate the ramifications of effective governance on the restoration of compromised urban fabric. The collected data was subsequently scrutinized within the SPSS environment utilizing single-sample T-tests and Kendall's coefficient. The results of the T-test indicated that the mean for all indicators of effective urban governance, with the exception of the place attachment indicator (3.030), was below the average threshold. This outcome implies that the Nematabad locality does not exhibit a favorable condition relative to effective urban governance metrics. Furthermore, the findings from the Kendall test disclosed a significant association between the indicators of effective urban governance and the rejuvenation of deteriorated fabric in Nematabad. The most pronounced positive and direct effects were noted in the environmental-ecological indicators (0.270), cultural-social indicators (0.227), and physical-spatial indicators (0.186), whereas the economic indicators exhibited no significant impact, evidenced by a Kendall coefficient of -0.047. In light of these findings, it is advisable that governmental initiatives be directed accordingly.
