Unlike some cities in Iran that have recently faced the phenomenon of dust and environmental problems, Zabul has been facing this problem for years. Although research has been done on other cities, But no studies have been done on Zabul. Descriptive and inferential statistics were analyzed using SPSS software. In this study, Shannon entropy method was used to measure indices and Coopers technique was used for ranking. The results were compared with the results of studies related to sample cities (Ahvaz and Urmia) that had similar or relatively similar conditions to Zabol. The results showed that the livability index in this city is 0.245762 and the difference between its six regions is significant. In addition, this city is in a more critical situation than the sample cities, but it has not received as much attention from researchers, and therefore there are no reliable statistics and information about it.

The current research is mainly aimed at determining the effective factors concerning public participation in old urban texture regeneration. Descriptive and analytic method is applied in this research and 363 residents of urban old texture in Mashhad have been selected as the samples of the study. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection and the collected data were analyzed by SPSS software and using the statistical tests of chi-square, Spearman Correlation, and multiple regression. The results show that the highest effective factors in people’s participation include their trust toward the governors, prediction of the desirable results, their perception toward hygiene and welfare conditions of the desired urban neighborhoods, and possessing other income sources rather than the existing property in the old texture. Therefore, prior to the implementation of regeneration projects, it is necessary to provide confidence and trust in the people and to assure them of the desirable future of executive projects, so that real participation of the residents is possible in all stages of planning and implementation.

The aim of this study is Prioritization potential pathway to walking at the historical context of yazd city. the research is an applied research with descriptive analytical method . research indexes were obtained using theoretical framework of research and validation of criteria was confirmed by experts of group and urban traffic experts and experts . the final indices include security, access to public transportation, car traffic volume in the passage, the compatibility of pedestrian adjacent streets, visual landscape, access to roads, width and length of the passage. the indices were weighted using analytic hierarchy process, then, by using gis software, different layers that have a role in the site selection were created . then the weights assigned to each layer were placed in weighted sum function . the results showed that in the old tissue of yazd city, the streets of northern imam khomeini, southern imam khomeini, and Giyam have the most talent. the innovation of this research is using weighted sum function over linear layers.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of healthy city policies based on local and regional needs in South Khorasan province. The type of research was descriptive and analytical, which was conducted in terms of conditions and the realization of the idea of a healthy city in South Khorasan province, using health, social and residential indicators. The required data were obtained from general censuses, sampling of the Statistics Center and 300 sample households from 11 cities of the province. SPSS and ArcView software were used to analyze the data. The innovation of the research has been in using various indicators and giving priority to health indicators. The results showed that South Khorasan is one of the most deprived provinces and few facilities are concentrated in limited areas while other areas are in unfavorable conditions. In addition to being the poorest population groups, these areas are often adjacent to border areas and are more prone to common viral and microbial contamination in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The provision of citizens’ satisfaction as well as their participation in urban management is one the main goals of participatory systems as people’s dissatisfaction makes the interaction of people with the municipality difficult, or even impossible. For this reason, the present study aimed to determine influential factors on people’s satisfaction of the services offered by Mashhad municipality_ district 9_ employing a descriptive-analytical methodology. The data required in this study were collected through a developed questionnaire which was checked for its validity and reliability and was later administered among 200 participants. Correlation coefficient and multiple regressions were then conducted to analyze the data collected. The results showed that, among the factors, settlement duration, the degree of connection with municipality, age when entered the district, distance from house to the main street, and receiving direct advertisement had a significantly meaningful relationship with people’s satisfaction of the services provided by the municipality. The findings also revealed that municipal environmental activities in Mashhad was appropriate for sustainable environmental assessment. Thus, this study suggests that the authorities should not only ensure citizens’ satisfaction but also develop municipal services.

Cities forward to develop upon dangerous natural-infrastructures, while there is lack of proper and immediate urbanism law and provision. This condition, moreover to that exceeds the amount of these kinds of dangers, leads to make the most possible victims because of civil population concentration. This process suggests it is serious to determine the dangerous areas and plan for preventing development into the dangerous areas; because determining safe civil areas cannot be applied by the automated civil growth and the intentional targets of house-building dealers. For this reason, this research –using descriptive and analytic method- is seeking to survey Birjand’s physical civil growth and how this city is developed into dangerous areas, and then spots controlling and directing condition of building development growth. The research has been applied by descriptive and analytic method and the results show that not also the physical civil growth has been intensified, but if the civil population concentration has been increased after upgrading the city to province center, while this concentration is distributed without regarding dangerous factors and areas. Therefore, targeted and legal intervention to direct house-building path and refining executive solutions for minimizing damages and victims seem necessary.

Urban open spaces are invaluable assets in maintaining ecological health in a highly developed urban matrix. Unfortunately, habitat values and ecological quality of these areas are often challenged by consecutive urbanization. The assessment of changing structure and function of an urban space system is crucial in maintaining livable cities. General characteristics and type of open spaces are investigated in case study – Mashhad city. The possible impacts of urban landscape change on the ecological qualities of natural open space patches are explored by using a landscape structure indicator. Even though various conceptual and analytical approaches exist in measuring the ecological integrity of natural systems, in this paper specifically deals with isolation issues. Because an isolated open space system loses its ecological integrity, isolation index yields meaningful result for anticipating the possible threats generated by urban structure. Isolation trends of urban open spaces are displayed. Also, numbers yielded by the isolation index presented. GIS seems to be an appropriate tool to evaluate the intricate attributes involved in the phenomenon. Black- white and colored aerial photographs of the city of Mashhad in various date and other data are available are used for the analysis in GIS environment. The results show some eye-opening facts with regards to the planning and management of urban open spaces, and possible threats to the ecological viability of theses precious areas in the future.
