Lack of attention to the structural features of informal settlements by promoting solutions based on partisanship in dealing with this urban problem is increasing the scope of the issues in these settlements. This study aims to identify the challenges of the Akhmakiyeh neighborhood as one of the informal settlements in Tabriz. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the questionnaire, t-test, Friedman, and correlation tests were used to analyze the data. The data were collected using library studies and field research (a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods), and the sample size was calculated based on Cochran's formula of 378 people. The indicators determined in this research are "Physical," "Social," "Economical," and "Infrastructure" indicators, respectively. The results showed that the Akhmakiyeh neighborhood was below average regarding structural features (physical, social, economic, and infrastructure). Also, the highest level of residents' satisfaction was related to the "social" component, followed by the "infrastructure" component, the physical component. Finally, the lowest satisfaction rate was for the "economic" component. The residents' satisfaction with the structural indicators of informal settlements was not the same. Other findings showed a significant and positive relationship between infrastructure quality and the economic quality of the Akhmakiyeh neighborhood.
