Mashhad city is a religious metropolis and the center of pilgrimage tourism in Iran which during a very short period with the aim of development and modernization and changed the urban texture especially in the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (AS) area without future study plans, While the modeling of the inefficiency of urban texture has the possibility of identifying effective factors in the optimization of old texture and this advantage has not been used in the development planning of this pilgrimage city. For this purpose, a research was conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach and using the weighted summation method and spatial statistics methods (spatial auto correlation technique and geographic weighted regression), with the aim of investigating the spatial of inefficiency texture in Mashhad, in which spatial analysis and zoning analyzed the inefficient structures and identified the factors affecting the inefficiency of this city. The results of the weighted summation technique showed that the peripheral areas of Mashhad were more inefficient than the middle areas. Also, the application of Moran's technique in this research showed that this coefficient was positive (0.1) in inefficient tissues, and therefore, the inefficient tissues of this city have followed the cluster distribution. On the other hand, the calculation of the Gates-Ord-J statistic also showed a high concentration of inefficient clusters with the predominance of hot clusters (about 30%). The results of the modeling of research variables also showed the effect of two variables of smallness, the ratio of rental units and the number of low-durable buildings on the inefficiency textures. The result of the fitting of the models used in this research showed that the level of inefficiency, cluster distribution and the factors affecting the distribution of clusters on the inefficiency of informal and marginal texture were more than the central texture. This result emphasizes the priority of the need for effective intervention in marginal textures as a prospect for the arrival of tourists and on foot pilgrims. The need to pay attention to changing the desired strategies according to the types of inefficient textures is reminded.
