Abstract
The present study aimed to explain the impact of augmented reality on the participatory housing design process in urban regeneration projects. This study used a qualitative approach and grounded theory method with the systematic process of Strauss and Corbin to extract concepts and patterns in interview data with urban experts. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with 9 urban managers and decision-makers and analyzed after open coding, axial and selective coding. The results of the study showed that augmented reality as a technological tool and participatory mechanism can improve decision-making transparency, effective interaction between designers and residents, and the quality of the design process. Augmented reality also increases the accuracy of predicting the social and physical consequences of the design and strengthens trust among stakeholders. Causal, contextual, and intervening conditions, participatory strategies, and the consequences of improving citizens' decision-making and spatial perception form the comprehensive framework of this technology in the urban regeneration process. The present study, while providing a coherent conceptual framework, shows that combining augmented reality technology with participatory methods has the potential to increase social legitimacy, reduce design errors, and improve the effectiveness of urban regeneration projects. Given the qualitative nature of the research and the limited sample size, the results of the study are more interpretable at the level of conceptual explanation and do not have the ability to be statistically generalized.
