Abstract

Urban issues are among the issues that are affected by various factors and should be examined from different perspectives. One of the problems of Mashhad city is the dire condition of the Kashaf Rood river. This river passes through the north of Mashhad and has an important history. The course of this river once played the role of the Silk Road and was a civilization builder, but as a result of neglect, it has become a place for the disposal of industrial waste water and animal and human waste, and has caused various social, health, economic, cultural, etc. damage to the river's surroundings. . This river can be an important source for the prosperity of agriculture, industries, and tourism, but its capacities have been less addressed and generally it has been raised with a threat-oriented view, such as the flow of dangerous urban sewage and its use for unhealthy urban agricultural production. On the other hand, considering the increasing climatic, cultural, economic, etc. changes, it is necessary to explain the current and future issues related to this river with a comprehensive view by researchers, elites and concerned people. Also, solving the problems of the Kashfroud tributary requires the activation of the local community so that responsibility towards the fate of the resulting river and as a result of collective action occurs. The purpose of this note is to introduce and present a suitable mechanism for discussion regarding the determination of the network of issues of revitalization of the Kashaf Rood River in the form of a series of discussion meetings with elites, experts and officials.
