The Historic City of Yazd is a part of Yazd city which has been inscribed as the first urban fabric of Iran on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Since this area faces many challenges due to the lack of coordination between influential organizations and institutions in urban management, identifying the indicators affecting the establishment of the integrated urban management system in the Historic City of Yazd could help improve its condition. According to the research method, an experts’ panel was convened with five current and former officials and urban managers of Yazd city to scrutinize the challenges faced by the influential agents in the historic fabric of Iranian cities. After summing up, 48 indicators were obtained, which were classified based on the nature of the dimensions of the integrated urban management. These indicators were distributed in the form of a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale among 32 experienced city officials and managers in Yazd who were selected using the snowball sampling method. The hypothetical, theoretical structure of the research was tested using SmartPLS 3 software. Considering the path coefficients, it can be concluded that there is a direct and significant relationship between intra-organizational, institutional, planning, structural-legal, vertical, and inter-organizational integrations with the integrated urban management in the Historic City of Yazd, and 41 indicators were found effective in this regard. Finally, solutions were proposed to establish the integrated urban management system in the Historic City of Yazd.

The purpose of this study is to use linguistic concepts and slang phrases in analyzing the content of the city text. The method used in this research is qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach. For data collection, 37 real estate consultants from 22 districts of Tehran were selected for interviews by the accessible sampling method. They were asked to express slang phrases that are widely used in the field of residential transactions and the introduction of neighborhoods. Also, by referring to the real estate advertisements on the online platforms including Divar and Sheypoor, as well as the real estate consultants’ pages on the Instagram App, similar phrases were extracted. Next, the process of coding and categorizing these phrases was done in such a way that all phrases that had a common semantic theme were placed in the same category. Accordingly, 8 categories affecting the valuation of housing and neighborhoods based on slang phrases in terms of percentage of repetition were obtained, respectively, which are: 1- geographical features of the building land in the neighborhood and the city; 2- legal features; 3- building welfare facilities; 4- natural, climatic features and environmental conditions of the building; 5- properties of materials and life of the building; 6- slang features; 7- building service facilities; and 8- building engineering features. In terms of residential and neighborhood valuation in the context of the city, 5 categories are distorted, incorrect, or more than intrinsic value, and only 3 categories have parity equal to intrinsic value.
