This study aimed to identify the key factors of urban livability and analyze their interrelationships in improving the quality of life in District 1 of Semnan. The research adopted a descriptive–analytical design, applying the Delphi approach and fuzzy MICMAC analysis to 49 variables derived from literature and expert opinions of 50 urban specialists. Findings revealed that urban regeneration, social security, service accessibility, urban aesthetics, civic participation, and architectural identity are the most influential factors. Moreover, urban branding, tourism, and cultural heritage were identified as dependent variables requiring policy support. Scenario analysis using Scenario Wizard identified one desirable, two neutral, and three critical scenarios. The desirable scenario emphasized enhanced security monitoring, full regeneration of the historical fabric, and strengthened neighborhood identity as drivers of sustainable livability. The results provide a strategic basis for urban policy and planning in similar historical urban contexts.
