Nowadays, most cities face multiple challenges, including inefficient and deteriorated urban fabrics, which cause problems in various dimensions such as physical, environmental, economic, social, and managerial aspects. The existence of these issues and the lack of well-defined and clear strategies for managing and planning deteriorated urban fabrics have exacerbated these problems. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to identify the factors influencing public participation in the improvement and renovation of the deteriorated urban fabric in District 12 of Tehran. This research adopts a survey-based, descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing a questionnaire as the data collection tool. The statistical population consists of the residents of the district. Based on Cochran's formula, a sample size of 163 households was determined and selected through simple random sampling. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were used to describe the data, while inferential analysis was conducted using one-sample T-tests, Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and path analysis. The findings indicate that respondents show the highest willingness to participate in decision-making and the least inclination for financial participation. Factors such as a sense of belonging, trust and social cohesion, access to services, supportive plans and actions, institutional development, and capacity building influence public participation in improving and renovating the deteriorated urban fabric. Among these, the sense of belonging to the residential area demonstrated the highest impact, with a score of 0.533.
