Abstract
The theoretical foundations of the development of information and communication technology are essentially pursued with a focus on the concept of impossibility and inequality. The results of various theories and actions related to the development of this type of technology in the city, provide a lot of evidence about the inconsistent effects of information and communication technologies on urban space and place in the context of cities. Therefore, in order to find the nature and direction of changes due to the development of these technologies in the city, the main question of the present article is to find the components affecting the development of these types of technologies and determine their development process. The main purpose of this study was to identify the factors and components affecting the relationship and how information and communication technology affects the city and urban space and place and to find their relationship with the categories extracted from the theoretical literature in order to determine the urban policy trajectory.
The research based on the qualitative method of interviewing elites with 15 specialists and university professors in the fields of urban planning, sociology, transportation and urban geography until theoretical saturation has been conducted in a semi-structured manner, based on a questionnaire designed in the form of 15 open-ended questions. Findings show that based on 6 main categories (value of physical space, new concept of time and distance, optimal technology-based urban development, freedom of activities from the spatial component, replacement of face-to-face activities, favorable urban traffic), 4 dimensions (social, political-economic , Physical and infrastructural), 36 main components and 121 sub-components were extracted, studied, refined and classified in the form of two characteristics of reinforcement (64 components) and limiting (57 components). Accordingly, the policy resulting from these two approaches, the urban planning system undergoes a fundamental change and transformation, and certainly affects the urban management and planning system of Iranian cities. Therefore, the present study tries to present effective factors, components and policies in the two directions of deterrence and propulsion in the form of conceptual matrices.
