One of the effective ways to manage energy consumption in cities is to use methods based on the simulation of biological patterns. Cities so that they become complex flexible systems and create ecological and cultural-social health through the provision of ecosystem services is of vital importance. The services of urban ecosystems are the benefits that citizens get from them and include supply, regulation, cultural and support services. Although few methods have been proposed for the design of urban environments based on the relationships between ecosystem services, their use has not received much attention. The main obstacle for the development of design methods based on ecosystem services is the lack of necessary knowledge to understand the relationships between urban ecosystem services, and usually based on the principles governing urban design, only spatial designs are often done. This article examines the relationships governing the synergies of urban ecosystem services from an ecological point of view and then analyzes its effects on urban design. This analysis can provide an efficient tool for designers and policy makers to make more favorable decisions for the exploitation of various ecosystem services in urban areas and to minimize the destructive environmental effects caused by urban designs. Based on the results of this analysis, the effectiveness of urban ecosystem services will increase with a correct understanding of their ecological relationships and considerations related to the spatial relationships of urban elements.

Today,one of the necessities of sustainable development of cities is planning for spatial development control the normal cities.many factors are affective in city centers physical development including the develop bank branches and deliverhng financial services and bank facilities in different service,industrial and housing sections.Studying the effect of bank service and its role in urban centers spatial development and identifying effective factors we can do a more accurate and scientific planning in the direction of future of urban centers in order to maintain of regional balances provided.In the present study,It has been attempted to classify Ilam city centers in terms of enjoyment extent of facilities and bank services in the direction of spatial develop ment using TOPSIS technique and the selection of indexes.So we first examined the enjoyment extent of city centers in terms of facilities and bank services on the bases of and financial indexes and then we evaluated city centers in terms of spatial development extent.Investigation results adjustment in the economic and physical development sections shows that there is a significant deffrence among city centers of ilam province in terms of spatial development extent on the bases of enjoyment extent of facilities and bank service.so that there is a direct and meaning ful relation ship between increasing facilities and spatial development in ilam, sarableh and dehloran cities.Bank facilities have less effect on spatial development in abdanan and dareshahr cities.But the effect of bank facilities on spatial development has been more in ivan and mehran cities than other cities.
