Abstract
Today, the development stimulating projects are one of the new strategies in urban development. The purpose of this research is to investigate the spatial effects of the development-stimulating projects of the Symbolic Square around Mobarakeh's Old Bazzar before its implementation in four social, economic, physical, and environmental dimensions. The statistical population of the research is the residents of the worn-out texture of the city of Mobarakeh. Using the Cochran formula, the sample size was 384 people, of which 400 people were selected for more reliability. The type of research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The tools used for the analysis are GIS, SPSS, and AMOS software. The findings from the analysis of the research path showed that the spatial effects of the development-stimulating projects of the Symbolic Square around Mobarakeh's Old Bazzar in the economic and sociocultural dimension jointly with the beta value (β = 0.99) in the physical dimension, with the beta value (β = 0.85) and in the environmental dimension, with beta value (β = 0.65), and the significance level (0.000) -- are confirmed. The results of the research depicted that the development- stimulating projects of Symbolic Square in the economic aspect of the attraction of investors, in the socio-cultural aspect, led to an increase in the mental health of the residents, and in the physical aspect, it led to the improvement of the quality of constructions in the context.
