Abstract :
The importance of social innovation to successfully face various challenges has brought it to the forefront of urban development. Social innovation offers solutions to improve the existing situation and increase the quality of life for individuals and society, and seeks to develop innovative solutions to solve the social challenges of cities. Given the need for change in line with the needs of the times, social innovation can take an effective step in urban regeneration by overcoming the inefficiency of old policies and solutions. Accordingly, the most important goal of the current research is to explain the factors affecting the realization of social innovation in urban regeneration. This research is in the field of applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. Also, library-documentary studies and qualitative content analysis and logical reasoning methods have been used in order to formulate the conceptual framework of the research. The results of the research show that five main actors, including the government, citizens, civil organizations, universities, and private companies, play a role in the regeneration based on social innovation. Citizens also acquire different roles in this type of re-creation, which include sensor, sharing, collaborative, and entrepreneurial. Also, the four components of "Empowerment and capacity building", "participation and cooperation", "creative solution and idea", and "change and transformation" are highlighted as the most important components of social innovation in urban regeneration. Finally, four factors: the quality of urban governance, the quality of the local economy, the quality of urban research, and the quality of social relations and power were identified as the most important factors for the realization of social innovation in urban regeneration
