The surrounding fabric of the Holy Shrine of Shah Cheragh (AS) in Shiraz, as one of the most valuable historical an‎d cultural areas, has faced several challenges in recent decades, including physical deterioration, decline in environmental quality, an‎d the loss of social identity. Unsustainable development an‎d short-term economic approaches, without considering the historical an‎d spiritual values of this area, have led to the destruction of historical structures an‎d the weakening of socio-cultural relations. Moreover, the absence of a regulated urban design framework for the protection an‎d revitalization of this historic, spiritual, an‎d religious context has exacerbated these issues. Objective: The aim of this research is to develop a framework for urban design in the areas surrounding sacred sites, with an urban regeneration approach. This framework seeks not only to revive the physical an‎d spiritual values of the area but also to improve environmental quality, strengthen social identity, an‎d enhance the sustainability of such places. Method: This applied research employs a mixed-methods approach (quantitative–qualitative). Data collection methods include library studies, documentary reviews, an‎d field surveys. First, through document analysis an‎d literature review, suitable urban design indicators for the regeneration of areas surrounding sacred sites were identified. These indicators were then screened an‎d prioritized using tools such as the Goler Matrix an‎d the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (TOPSIS) method. In Chapter Four, the status of these indicators in the Shah Cheragh Shrine area was examined through field studies, SWOT analysis, an‎d software tools such as GIS an‎d Depth Map. Finally, in Chapter Five, appropriate strategies, policies, an‎d an urban design framework were proposed. Findings: The results indicate that despite the historical an‎d spiritual values of the Shah Cheragh Shrine area, due to physical deterioration, lack of proper infrastructure, an‎d unsustainable development approaches, the site faces numerous challenges. Developing an‎d implementing urban design frameworks based on the urban regeneration approach can contribute to the revitalization of such contexts, providing a suitable foundation for preserving their historical an‎d spiritual values while enhancing the quality of life.
