Among the different dimensions of sustainable development, the social aspect is known as one of the main dimensions. This is more in line with the quality of life and emphasize on the concepts such as foresightedness, justice, participation and empowerment. The main aim of the present research is to evaluate social stability indicators in thirteen regions of Mashhad city. For this reason, multiple criteria decision making model of Vikor and related analytical methods have been used for rating of the thirteen regions of Mashhad metropolis based on social stability indicators. The present study is a descriptive-analytical research and statistical population in this study is thirteen regions of Mashhad city with the population of 2766258 people, among the population 390 persons have been selected as samples based on Cochran formula. The sample has been randomly selected from different regions. Based on the results of the research, the indicators of social stability in the framework of Vikor model show that the regions 9 and 1 have the most favorable conditions in terms of the realization of social stability indicators, and by contrast, regions 3 and 11 have the most undesirable situations. The results of the research have relatively high correlation (0.743) with previous studies conducted about the overall situation of sustainability in Mashhad metropolis.

Urban growth pattern is one of the major issues which can contribute to sustainability and life of cities, and with all characteristics including form, function, physic and content, has been the endless concern of theorists, philosophers and idealists from at least the 5th century BC to the present day, and today, having knowledge about city spatial form can be one of the important factors affecting the success of urban planners and practitioners, and help urban environment improvement. Therefore, due to the importance of the subject, the present research is aimed to evaluate physical – spatial growth pattern of Tabriz and Istanbul metropolis using quantitative methods. The present research, in terms of nature and method, is descriptive -analytical and practical. So that, the required data were collected using survey, documentary and library studies and then physical – spatial growth form of Tabriz city (with 10 region) and Istanbul (With 39 region) was calculated using quantitative methods. To evaluate the city form, for method (metropolis size, density, gathering degree, balanced distribution) was used. The results of this research show that the present growth pattern of Tabriz city is fragmented and tends to random pattern in 1390 years. But the form of the Istanbul metropolis, shows tendency of focus growth pattern.
