The rapid growth of the tourism industry and the prioritization of economic benefits in protected areas around Tehran have disturbed the principles of sustainable development and leads to increasing pressure on the environment. So calculating the carrying capacity of tourist areas is recommended as a key solution. The main purpose is to determine the tourism carrying capacity in the Varjin Protected Area due to its proximity to the capital and with its unique nature and ecological attractions. The research method is survey and descriptive-analytical. The data were collected through interviews with environment guard, climatic statistics from the Lavasan synoptic station, and using GIS software. The carrying capacity was calculated by TCC as a quantitative tool, in three levels: physical, real and effective. To determine the wide range capacity, ecological attractions such as wildlife visits, water resources and mountaineering were selected and their carrying capacity were determined on the basis of (person / hectare / day) and then compared with the Baud-Bovy international standard. Based on the results, estimation of effective range capacities in all three tourist attractions indicated that the computations were less than 5 people per hectare. Hence, it complies with the world standard. The results of the study indicate the appropriate range capacity for widespread tourism and tourist attraction in the Virgin Protected Area.

In this research, we aimed to identify the effective factors in increasing visual attractiveness to achieve high urban quality and the mood of people in the urban landscape. Previous studies have shown that visual factors play an important role in improving the quality of urban environments. Therefore, the promotion of urban quality, by creating a visually attractive space in the everyday landscape, can help restore vitality to cities and make them a more desirable environment. The research method is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. At the first, the content validity of the questionnaire was measured by the Content Validity Ratio (CVR). Elements with CVR >0.49 were chosen as the final set of clusters. Then, using the SAM questionnaire, 12 participants who were not related to architectural education were examined. The results shows that the landscape, openness, mystery, social interactions and pedestrian give the highest priority to the creation and promotion of this quality and these elements significantly change the participants’ mood. The novelty of this study is in using the SAM questionnaire to assess mood in front of the everyday landscape.

The present study was conducted with the aim of analytical evaluation of green urban development trends in District 22 of Tehran during a five-year period from 2011-2016. The research method was descriptive and analytical. Research data were collected in two time periods (2011 &2016) from official documents and databases of governmental and non-governmental organizations, especially environmental deputies and Tehran Municipality. In order to determine the extent of the effect of each of the criteria for evaluating the green city and scoring their performance in this 5-year period, experts used two separate questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using Expert Choice software and performance evaluation matrix and Excel spreadsheet. The innovation of the research is the use of various and valid criteria in relation to the green city in order to "evaluate" the performance of green urban development during a five-year period in the 22nd district of Tehran. The results of the study showed that in the study period, out of 39 criteria, 18 criteria had a good performance during this period, including: water sustainability policy, daily average SO2 and per capita green space, and 21 other criteria had ineffective or undesirable performance. The final result of the evaluation of the performance of the green city showed that the development of the green city in this region is in a moderate position due to its significant environmental potentials and is relatively far from the ideal point.

The purpose of this research is to explain the effectiveness of personality components on residential satisfaction. The applied research was done using the descriptive-analytical method. Hierarchical cluster analysis and K-Means were used to determine the locations of the study sample. The target audience in measuring residential satisfaction is the residents of neighborhoods whose houses were renovated between 1388-1392. According to Cochran's formula, 325 questionnaires were completed in a systematic way in the neighborhoods. The validity of the instrument was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test with a coefficient of 0.72. Exploratory factor analysis is used to explain the factors of residential satisfaction in the neighborhoods, and Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test are used to investigate the influence of personality traits on residential satisfaction, and finally, the relationship between personality traits and the residential satisfaction factors was determined by regression analysis. The innovation of the current research is to investigate the influence of personality components on residential satisfaction in the field of worn-out urban contexts and also to consider the component of the resident's dwelling status as a new component in this field. According to the results of the study, the characteristics of the residential complex, environmental-social conditions of the neighborhood, local services and facilities, and the condition of the residential unit were determined as factors representing residential satisfaction. Gender, residence status, ownership, income, and education have an effect on residential satisfaction. Ownership and education components have the highest and household dimension has the lowest impact on residents' residential satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to present an analytical model of morphological dimensions of the entrance, based on the phenomenological approach and study of the main inputs of Tehran. The methodology of this article was based on qualitative- Survey methods. Since the study of urban entrances has not been studied from the perspective of phenomenological approach, research innovation is in terms of approach and case study. Data collection was built upon document analysis, complete observer and questionnaire survey (108 users) and they were analyzed through qualitative – quantitative methods. The results of the expert -based survey showed: All of the entrances to Tehran are inappropriate regarding the identification and semi-appropriate concerning the orientation. The results of the user-based survey confirmed expert-based findings and showed: Saveh with a score of 77.8% in all of the identification dimensions had the worst position and in regard the orientation, its condition was semi-appropriate (56%). Damavand with a score of 66.7% was in the best condition. In relation to the type of environmental characters, Saveh had just natural elements, while Damavand with a score of 88% in green spaces and with a score of 63% in its potential for the activities was in the best position. Karaj was in the next position, because of the physical elements (64%) and unique land uses (66%). Although in all of the entrances, the final level of inside-ness had not existed, in Damavand’s entrance (11%), it existed a little. Based on findings, for having a successful entrance, creating the “identification” and “orientation” should be considered. The innovation of this research is in conducting a study for the city of Tehran.

The theory of urban competitiveness is based on Porter Diamond's theory. There is a link between housing that has a large share of the total economy and urban economic competitiveness.The adequacy of the supply and allocation of land for the development of new housing, as well as the importance of maintaining cheap land, which can be maintained by local power for urban development, is evident. In this research, the purpose of the estimation of the number of residential units needed to provide residential units in Tehran in 1400 Hijri. The research method of this paper is based on information-based analytical-descriptive. Considering that the population is the main cause of creating a potential demand for housing, first the population of Tehran was estimated for 1400 using three nonlinear polynomial quadratic models, Gampartz and logistic. Since the comprehensive plan of each city is the city's most important project, population estimates of second-order polygonal models and Gampartz were considered due to their close proximity to the project. Then, using the logistic model, which was a suitable method for estimating the number of residential units in a citythat the number of residential units was estimated based on these three population estimates. The number of residential units obtained from the Gompertz model based on the population was 663141 which can be as a measure for decision making and urban future planning in order to achieve economic competitiveness of the city.

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.
