This research aims to identify and examine the impact of urban morphology indicators on the revitalization of deteriorated fabrics in the central area of Ahvaz city. The study was conducted in a descriptive-analytical nature and a quantitative and applied method. The required data was collected from library sources, documents, and electronic resources. In addition, field data was collected through a questionnaire and sequential observation to accurately measure variables and provide proposed solutions. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of over 0.7. The target population of this study consisted of 25 experts and elites who were selected purposively and selectively. Excel software was used to analyze the data with the DEMATEL technique. The innovation of this research is due to the combined use of the concepts of revitalization, deteriorated fabrics, and urban morphology and the use of a new technique (DEMATEL), which is considered a prominent study in the field of deteriorated fabrics in the central area of Ahvaz city. The results show that residential use variables (score 4.35), number of accidents (score 4.031), persons per housing unit (score 3.54), number of building floors (score 3.35), and access to public and open spaces (score 1.99) are ranked first to fifth. To revitalize deteriorated urban fabrics, urban planners should focus on improving access to public and open spaces, diversifying public spaces, reducing traffic congestion, decreasing the number of building floors, and increasing the per capita use of green spaces. Active participation of residents and the provision of economic facilitations can also be effective in revitalizing deteriorated fabrics.
