Abstract
As a result of rapid changes in the urban spaces, retails have become vulnerable. The importance of this research is to identify the damages caused by changes in jobs, and to study their effects on the urban environment and the lives of citizens. in order to provide appropriate strategies and solutions to alleviate and reduce the damages caused by changes in urban retails. for this purpose, the content analysis method has been used and information has been collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document studies. In total, 67 damages resulting from changes in retailing have been identified in 20 concepts and 6 dimensions (in coding levels). Based on this categorization, a total of 6 strategies and 48 solutions have been suggested to reduce the damages, which can be used in urban plans, especially in the distribution and dispersion of land uses and commercial activities in cities. It is also suggested that a spatial perspective should replace a coercive and authoritarian perspective. Under such conditions, it is possible to reduce the damages caused by changes in businesses in cities through the development of democratic programs, such as neighborhood planning and urban retail planning.
