The purpose of this paper is analyzing the reflective surfaces with high Albedo effect which can be considered as one of the passive design approaches for controlling the absorption of suns radiative energy and reducing temperature and building energy consumption, especially in hot and dry climates. The methodology of this research was based on an analytical approach with a simulation which contained experimental study and computational simulation of reflective roofs with different levels of albedo using Energy Plus software. This study has been done for two types of common roofs existing in Tehran residential buildings as well as containing accurate temperature fluctuations and cooling energy consumption in one year. The results of the research showed that increasing Albedo of roof surfaces with reflective materials had a noticeable effect on decreasing the surface temperature and the roof surrounding air temperature. Furthermore, as a result of the reduction of suns heating absorption by external surfaces, the consumption of cooling energy was reduced.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the feasibility of land use planning in the Master plan of Malayer city. If the urban development plans are implemented as approved, the public interest will be provided and many urban problems will be solved..In this regard, for the first time the Master plan realization of Malayer as a middle-sized city with a population of about 170,000 people was examined. The research methodology in terms of purpose is applied and of nature is descriptive-analytical.Needed information was extracted from the city's development plans. The results showed that like all comprehensive plans that are prepared in Iran by traditional methods, the comprehensive plan of Malayer city, is accompanied with weaknesses and threats of this model such as authoritarianism, separation of the plan preparation process from the implementation stage, certainty in locating uses, …, and has had little feasibility. Dedicated review of Malayer Comprehensive Plan showed that, in general, The feasibility of the proposed uses has been low. In the meantime, the uses of urban facilities and equipment, health-welfare, sports, hospitality and tourism services have been below the average. Educational, administrative and disciplinary uses, green space and forest parks, industrial, religious and transportation facilities have been constructed more than moderate and need and only residential, medical, commercial and cultural uses have been realized in accordance with the master plan proposals. In the meantime, the irregular increase in the level and per capita industrial and roads uses have caused more damage to the city of Malayer.

The purpose of the present study, was the evaluation of sustainability levels of Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad Provinces in terms of urban sustainability indicators with an emphasis on social, physical and urban dimensions out in three general indicators and 22 sub-indicators. The research method is descriptive-analytic with an objective purpose. The study area is Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad provinces. In this research, the indices were weighted by expert experts using the ANP model. To analyze the data and determine the degree of sustainability ratings we used VIKOR multi-criteria decision-making method for the cities. Based on the VIKOR cities were classified into three categories: developed, moderately developed and deprived of development. The results showed that the gap between the most developed city (Boyer Ahmad) and the most deprived city (Lande) was quite evident. It shows that the spatial distribution of services and facilities has not been equitable in planning and policy making. Therefore, the development trend at Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad provinces is uneven. The provincial authorities should focus their policies on disadvantaged and less developed areas to reduce the gap between areas in order to achieve stability.

The aim of this study was to analyze rainfall drought indices to predict and reduce their negative effects in Ardebil province, which involved a descriptive-analytical study in terms of research type. Data were collected using documentary method. Accordingly, the information of mean rainfall and mean temperature on a monthly basis in synoptic stations of Ardebil, Germi, Parsabad, Meshkinshahr and Khalkhal were received from the Meteorological Organization in Ardebil province for the period (1996-1996). Dip and Dic software were used to analyze the SPI and CZI indices data in each of the 5 synoptic stations of the province. Drought zoning was then performed in two scales of 6 and 12 months, from IDW interpolation, in ArcGIS software. The innovation of the present study was the use of if-then rules in MATLAB software in combining drought indicators in the field of climatology. The results showed that very severe droughts at the 12-month scale were less than at the 6-month scale, and in all 5 stations studied, the number of moderate droughts was more than severe and very severe ones. Also, the highest frequency of drought was observed in Ardebil city and the lowest in Germi station. Similarly, a comparison of the two indicators displayed that their performance did not differ much; but it turned out that the SPI index, could reveal the number of droughts better than the CZI index.

In the sustainable development, the physical aspects of man-made areas are of great importance. This paper, in order to quantify the growth pattern of human-made areas, the relationship of built-up areas of Golestan province with ground surface temperature using six landmarks including number of patches, largest patch index, shape index, nearest Euclidean distance, aggregation and Cohen examines. The selection of measures should be based on criteria such as independence between the measures. Statistical analysis of correlation between measures showed that there was no correlation between them. Landscape measurements were extracted by using Fragstats software. The results of Landscape analysis also showed that Gorgan city has the highest homogeneous structure and Maraveh Tepe city has the most inappropriate human-made structure. Landscape ecology studies are based on the importance of spatial structure on ecological processes. For this purpose, the statistical relationship between the structure and surface temperature of the earth was investigated using Pearson correlation coefficient. Surface temperature data were also extracted from the Madis sensor data. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the shape of the structure and the surface temperature. The man-made areas have a more complex shape and the surface temperature of these areas is higher than in other areas.

The risk of earthquake has threatened human settlements ever since. Despite the advancement of science and technology in the present age, the humankind has not yet been able to accurately predict and counteract earthquakes. However, it is possible to minimize the devastations upon appropriate management. This study enquired in to the selection of temporary housing sites as a crisis management measure for earthquake victims in Borujen city. Therefore, based on library research and comments of experts and crisis management specialists, contributory factors and parameters to temporary housing sites selection were identified. The final weight of each factor was determined by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process Model (AHP). The geographic information system (GIS) was used to prepare maps in different layers. Spatial and non-spatial data were combined by using the final weights of each of the factors and analyzed in the GIS, which resulted in the selection of the best places for temporary housing sites. The results of the paired comparisons showed that the geological parameter was the least important with the significance coefficient of 0.16 and the safety parameter was the most important with the coefficient of 0.376. Moreover, the results indicated that parks and green spaces and schools were the best places for establishing temporary housing sites for earthquake victims in the city of Borujen, whereas the required space for temporary housing sites in the central part of the city is hardly sufficient.

Tehran as the largest city in Iran, is one of the most polluted cities in the world, so necessity of accurate detection of contaminants and identifying contaminated areas for reducing their severity is obvious. The aim of this research was prepared Tehran air pollution map and determining the areas with the highest polluted. For studying air pollution situation in Tehran, after gathering concentration of 5 main Atmospheric pollutants (CO, NOx، SOx، O3، PM25) from 20 air pollutant recorder station, three Interpolation methods in ArcGIS software include: Kriging, radial basis function RBF and inverse distance weighted IWD have been used. In Additon, for comparing methods and selecting the best of them, root- mean- square error RMSE and the correlation coefficient R2 had been used. It determined that in most of parameters IDW had better accuracy for zoning pollution of the area by checking the RMSE values. For achieving results with using mentioned methods, map of air quality limits in the area was ready and by combining five maps and weighing them into each parameter, general pollution map of the area was prepared. Results showed that in Monoxide carbon pollution zoning map, most of the pollution was related to the unhealthy class, in Nitrogen Oxide and Ozone was related to very unhealthy class and in particle matter and sulfur oxide was related to unhealthy class. In final map also most portion was related to unhealthy class. Overlay Masudieh station with 1091 pollution weight had the most pollutants and dangerous weather conditions and Darrus station with 628 pollution weight had better position.

The purpose of this study was to determine the vulnerable and resistant areas of alluvial areas of west of Tehran against seismic hazards. The research method included the study of important fractures, effective faults, the use of sediment diagrams of drilled boreholes and geotechnical data. Samples were examined from two aspects of density and standard penetration test. Finally, an alluvial zoning map of the western regions of Tehran was prepared and plotted against seismic hazards. According to this study, the south-eastern part of the study area has the most impact in terms of intensification of seismic waves and its northern part does not have any intensification. In addition, due to the soil quality, the possibility of liquefaction in the study area is also important. Since the city of Tehran is based on alluvial formations, it is essential for designers and builders of civil engineering projects to examine the type and extent of alluviums and their response to seismic hazards in Tehran, as these data are used by planners to strengthen different urban areas and reduce seismic hazards. In this study, for the first time, the effect of seismic waves was evaluated based on the subsurface connections of faults with alluvial areas in the west of Tehran.

Urban sprawl or uncontrolled dispersion of built-up areas imposes many economic, social, and environmental issues to cities with a high growth rate. The combination of Remote Sensing and GIS. Technologies with the Shannon Entropy Model can used to identify, quantify and analyze the trends of urban sprawl patterns. In this research, Landsat satellite imagery, spatial analysis of GIS and Shannon entropy used in two levels (for the whole city and within urban areas) in Tabriz city. After geometric and radiometric correction of images and the mapping of urban and non-urban areas in four periods from 1972 to 2013, to calculate the total entropy of each period, the region divided into 58 cells. In addition, to create a spatial pattern map and visualize urban sprawl, the whole city divided into 100 cells with 16 sub-cells, the amount of entropy of 16 cells was calculated, and sprawl spatial pattern obtained by Kriging interpolation method. The results of this study showed that urban sprawl of Tabriz has been approaching the maximum entropy (4.06) from 1972 to 2013 and has caused a two-fold gap between the growth of urban areas and the population. In addition, the spatial pattern of urban sprawl is unbalanced and focuses on the city’s communication axes.

The major problem that urban plans are facing with is their lack of flexibility in the face of uncertainties which have made policies of strategic plans inefficient and have made the city vulnerable against possible futures that are ahead. These uncertainties have made the future studies an important topic, and have made urban planners to use different models of future studies to reduce the vulnerability of cities against future challenges. One of the most common future study methods is scenario planning which has helped planners overcome some of these uncertainties. With the advancement of computer technology related to scenario planning, Software such as scenario wizard provide the ability for urban planners to analyze different aspects of the city, driving leading factors of development and uncertainties associated with each factor and finally extract possible scenarios. The main objective of this study is to provide a framework for the application of scenario planning and scenario wizard software in the preparation city strategic plans. In this practical study, the city of Najafabad is case study and to promote research, surveys, and interviews with city officials has been done. The results show that urban governance, upper level management, higher education as well as the urban economy with subcategories such as sustainable agriculture, trade, industry, and tourism are key factors and driving the development of the city of Najafabad. In addition to these factors, the arrival of new technologies such as subway and the state of water resources are founded as events that affect development.

One of the challenges faced by urban planners is optimal urban and regional management and balance in the development of cities. the main goal of this research is to measure the economic and social stability of the cities of Mazandaran province during the census of 1385 and 1400. The current descriptive-analytical research method was carried out using the data of government agencies and the census of 1385 and 1400. In order to identify the components of sustainability, 30 professors in the field of urban planning were selected as the sample size. Measuring the economic and social stability of Mazandaran cities in the censuses of 1385 and 1400 is considered an innovation of this research. In order to evaluate the sustainability of the cities of Mazandaran province using questionnaires that were completed by experts in the field of urban planning; Among the models of stability barometer, radar, and electricity, stability factors were ranked. At the end, with the Copeland technique, the final ranking was determined. The results of the sustainability measurement techniques showed that the cities of Sari, Babol, Amel, Qaimshahr, Tankabon and Chalus have higher ranks in terms of sustainability. Also, the cities of Mazandaran province have had different stability, and the problem of instability is more related to small and medium-sized cities in terms of size, and more related to economic issues in terms of indicators. Therefore, it is possible to provide the stability and development of cities by implementing the solutions obtained from this research
