Abstract
Background: The city and urban management issues, especially the issue of doctors' concentration in an urban area, are inherently dynamic and complex due to the existence of different actors with different perspectives.
Aim: The current research has examined the issue of concentration of managers in Taleghani Boulevard of Yazd city by identifying and analyzing the interaction of key actors influencing the problem, which has different strategies and goals.
Method: The research method of this research is based on the descriptive-analytical method and the data collection method based on documentary and field methods. In other words, the initial identification of actors and their strategies and goals has been done through library study (documentary method). Then, through group interviews with experts (field method), the completion of actors and their goals was discussed, and by using Mector method and software, these actors and their goals were analyzed in relation to the issue of concentration of doctors in an urban area.
Results: The results of the research showed that among the 9 actors identified, although there is no dominant actor in this issue, traffic, police, patients and doctors are highly influential. Also, among the 7 identified goals and strategies, traffic reduction and access to parking have great sensitivity among actors.
Conclusions: Based on these findings, it can be concluded that in the short term, online scheduling with the participation of knowledge-based companies and doctors will reduce traffic, and with the establishment of a parking lot by the municipality on Taleghani Boulevard in Yazd, traffic will decrease. On the other hand, it was found that the qualitative method and case study are used in urban management studies.
