Mining activities in Sirjan city have led to a process of urban renewal by forming diverse residential patterns. This renewal, which is more a product of economic pressures and labor migration than of formal planning, has created extensive changes in various physical, infrastructure, compliance with urban documents, spatial structure, and local society. In this regard, the aim of this research is to investigate the effects of urban renewal resulting from residential patterns arising from mining activities on Sirjan city.
The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. Data collection was done with a qualitative approach and through semi-structured interviews, surveying people's opinions on social networks, field observations, and analyzing maps and master plan documents. In this study, the impact of four residential patterns including rental and temporary, renovation and integrated apartment building, official complexes, and marginal self-built housing was evaluated on five physical domains: infrastructure, compliance with superior documents, spatial organization, and local community.
The findings show that the diversity of residential patterns and population influx have led to the creation of heterogeneous textures, unbalanced growth of settlements and overcapacity pressure on infrastructure. Also, the developments that have been made are often not consistent with upstream documents and have caused changes in the spatial organization of the city. These inconsistencies have reduced the quality of life of citizens and lowered their satisfaction with the urban environment.

In the end, it can be concluded that urban renewal in mining cities, in the absence of comprehensive planning and integrated management, can have negative and irreparable consequences for the city and society. Therefore, there is a need to develop specific strategies to manage new residential patterns.
