Commercial complexes as one of urban land uses and the most important physical elements play an important role in the creation of new urban spaces. Today, the establishment of multipurpose commercial complexes in cities is considered as a suitable solution for creation of new urban cores. In planning for establishment of new commercial complexes with the aim of creating dynamic urban spaces, simultaneous attention to suitable access, designing leisure spaces and tourism components are important. In this study, the dynamics of Laleh Park commercial complex in Tabriz has been assessed based on components such as suitable form and flexibility, mixed- used land uses, liveliness, visual proportionality and sense of belonging, permeability, security and timing. The method of current study is descriptive-analytical and required data have been collected using library and field sources. Statistical population of this research is specialists and visitors of Laleh Park commercial complex. Up to 384 individuals were selected as sample size and data were analyzed using statistical methods, i.e. chi square in SPSS, by quantitative and qualitative tests. The results show that more than 90 percent of the respondents had positive attitude towards desirability of the commercial center and this complex has been effective in dynamics of surrounding urban spaces. As allocation of different commercial, tourism, recreational and residential land uses to the urban areas of this complex confirms this result.

Management of the movement of people and goods in the streets of a city is the main cause of urban transport systems. Operation of the system is dependent on the necessary infrastructure and proper placement of the various components and the components consistency together. One of the most important public transportation infrastructure is Multi-storey car parking structures as one of the centers of large cities. This can play a major role in reducing Traffic of parking in street sides and its psychological effects. The parking lot can have the necessary performance when in the right place. The study was descriptive - analytical and the purpose is to make location for the Multi-storey car parking in the city of Rasht. In this context, based on the literature and opinion of expertin transportation, urban development and urban planning, we selected 8 parameters including distance to main populated centers including malls, office - services, entertainment - catering, access to arterial roads and main squares, the distance to and functionality and compatibility of applications. The data have been analyzed using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The final area suitable for parking lot has been selected by overlay map. Then, using a map obtained from research model, during the field visit, it was found in an area that has very good potential. The area of land for construction of parking lot are located in the barren, vacant land, old parking and dilapidated buildings. We selected 9 areas with 35,547 square metersto build parking. We made a ranking of the suitable aseas with the demand and the need to resolve the problem of lack of parking garages in order of importance and priority.

One of the factors influencing the development of a country is health services and treatment optimized. These services will be more favorable when they are more evenly distributed in different regions of the country and hence provide community satisfaction. The purpose of this study was the analysis of health inequality in Qazvin province. For this purpose, this study with a practical approach and a descriptive-analytic nature was carried out. The data collection was done through library study including the study of previous documents and the world health literature according to the Statistical Yearbook of Qazvin province in 2013. The data were then analyzed through fuzzy Electre and weighted sum models, Pearson correlation coefficient, Coefficient of Variation, and t-test. In order to do this, Excel and SPSS softwares were used to ensure accuracy in calculations. The calculations of fuzzy Electre method represented the superiority of Qazvin city with 5 scores over the other cities. Bouin Zahra with 4 scores, Takestan with 3 scores, Abyek with 2 scores, Alborz with 1 score, and Avaj with 0 score ranked second to sixth respectively. The Calculations of t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Coefficient of Variation also represented inequality between the cities and within them (cities and villages). Inequality in Qazvin province indicated the unjust distribution of health services as well as the distance from the two principles of provision and availability - between and within the cities.

Achieving the balance between the spatial distribution of resources and services in urban areas is one of the main objectives of the government. District 7 in Mashhad with a population of about 220000 people and an area of 5200 hectares is one of the most crowded urban areas of Mashhad. CNG fuel station network is the key component of the network utilities acted as a supplier of fuel for transportation within the city, which is important in terms of traffic considerations, urban development, safety, and the environment. This study aims to locate CNG fuel station in District 7 in Mashhad and also utilizes the methods based on GIS and fuzzy logic. In order to implement fuzzy operators in GIS environment, the effective criteria including access to main thoroughfares, centers with high population density, green space, commercial land use, distance from residential land use, educational land use, and distance from existing stations were all first extracted and entered into the GIS environment. In the next step, the fuzzy membership value for each parameter (fuzzication) was determined. Next, the weighted layers were put together, and finally the most appropriate area was shown on the final map. The results showed that the southern and southeastern areas lacked fuel stations and had priority for the construction of new stations in the area.

Public participation in the form of spiritual institutions, which are known as faith-based public organizations (faith-based NGOs), is now one of the key strategies in local community development. Faith-based NGOs usually work to promote the human spiritual life; however, related extensive studies and recent investigations have shown that because of the faith capacity of these NGOs, in addition to their core function in spiritual matters of communities, they have much more effectiveness than any other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in providing social, cultural, and welfare services. In this study, in addition to identify various religious institutions involved in city management, the functional significance of these NGOs in the field of social security as well as the welfare of residents in small local communities was examined. The main objective of this study is to analyze and highlight the role of faith-based NGOs in sustainable management of social services and hence, in provision of public welfare in communities. The research method is analytic-descriptive which is based on library documents and interviews with a number of people and managers of these NGOs in Tehran, District 1. The results showed that in spite of the diverse characteristics of these public religious centers, they all have the same or similar purposes. Because of their cultural nature, voluntary organizations in general and faith-based NGOs in particular have more effects than any other organizations on creating cultural change as well as developing sustainable management of social and welfare services in small local communities.

Immigration and the growth of metropolitan areas are always associated with major changes in the areas around them. National Tehran metropolis with its rapid growth in recent decades has caused population increase and physical development of the surrounding towns and villages. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting demographic and physical changes in Garachak city as a settlement around Tehran metropolis. The research method is descriptive-analytic and data collection was based on library documents, observation, in-depth interviews and 300 household questionnaires completed randomly. The data were analyzed by using single T- test, multi-variable regression, interpretation of satellite images (in years 1987 and 2011), and Holdern model. The results showed that due to reasons such as locating on Tehran-Varamin road, short distance and the rapid access to metropolis Tehran and its facilities, and also due to the low costs of land and housing in that area, Garachak city has had high population growth so that the city as a complementary area for Tehran has an additional role in residency and settlement. According to Holdern model analysis, approximately %68 of physical growth and nearly %32 of growth in Garachak city is respectively associated with population growth and horizontal-sprawl growth which have caused huge changes in economic, social, and ecological aspects of the city.

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.

Increasing population has disrupted the order of nature and led to restructuring of the original land. In recent years, in order to prevent the horizontal growth of cities, the idea of constructing high-rise buildings in cities around the world such as Tehran metropolis has been proposed. One of the negative impacts of high-rise building is the change in urban wind flow. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of high-rise buildings on the performance of urban wind flow using an inductive-comparative method. In this study, District 22 in Tehran was selected as the case study due to its increasing trend of high-rise construction. The findings of the study showed that the natural pattern of wind flow changed due to the incorrect and non-normative positioning of tall buildings; thereby, this led to the secondary effects resulted from stagnation or intensification of wind flow causing serious problems for air inlet corridor of Tehran. Therefore, appropriate principles and criteria for both the site location as well as the assessment of high-rise building observed by urban managers seem to provide bases for accurate management actions and reduce the side effects.

The optimal distribution of uses as well as service centers is an issue which urban planners often emphasize, as the rapid growth of population and city expansion has caused an inappropriate spatial distribution of urban uses. Cultural centers are an example of the uses whose distribution and dispersion are important in urban areas in terms of both urban development and social justice. The purpose of this study is to analyze the dispersion of the cultural centers in Saqqez city as well as to locate the new cultural centers according to the shortage in the city. The research method is descriptive-analytical. In order to classify and analyze the data, some models including ANP model and network analysis model, and Moran'sI, Anselin local Moran'sI indicators were used. Furthermore, the softwares ARC /GIS, and Super Decisions were employed to map layers. The results of this study indicates that according to the survey carried out, %41.11 of the city area is out of access to the cultural centers. The findings also reveal that the cultural centers in Saqqez city are inappropriate to other centers in terms of both compatibility and accessibility. Therefore, by integrating the various layers of influential uses, the final map of optimal spaces was suggested in order to build new cultural centers in 5 categories from very good to very weak

The physical development of cities located in the mountainous often occurs towards the hillsides. The hillsides as a result of glacial erosion in the Quaternary period have deposits characterized by permeability and grain separation, which lead to instability and environmental changes if combined with the steep slope, abundant rainfall, and earthquakes. Songhor city is a typical case of such cities. In this study, the slope instability potential in Dalakhani basin was investigated. For this purpose, the developing extent of glacial sediments was identified through the regression analysis of temperature and elevation as well as the sediment investigation. By defining instability indicators and using the fuzzy dimensionless method to homogenize parameters, the map of slope instability potential was produced. The findings of this study revealed that out of 1.7 square kilometers development, from 1987 to 2011, Songhor city expanded to the slopes prone to instability up to1 square kilometer. The map of slope instability potential also showed that half of the city was located in the area with high potential of slope instability. Furthermore, with respect to the physical development of Songhor to the high slopes, it is necessary to identify the areas prone to slope instability.

In recent decades, the quality of the urban environment has become one of the key issues in human environment studies. Measuring quality can be done not only on the basis of the objective environment but also on the basis of individuals’ perception of the environment to which they belong. In this regard, the environment quality can be also based on the satisfaction of citizens. Therefore, it is required to investigate how individuals consider the quality of the place where they live. This study aimed to assess the quality of the urban environment in Ajabshir, Ilkhichi, Malekan and Azarshahr and also investigate the status of these four cities in terms of quality indicators of the urban environment in order to identify the factors influencing the quality satisfaction in the urban environment. The research method was based on multivariable regression analysis known as the experimental model of measuring environment quality. In accordance with the results gained, the quality of the urban environment in the four cities was lower than the average. Moreover, according to the specific characteristics of small cities regarding social matters and the relationship between citizens, the content quality characteristic of these cities was in good condition. Totally, among the factors affecting the quality of the urban environment, the highest rank belonged to the quality of the residential environment.

Global Warming is now one of the most important environmental issues. In the present study, in order to reveal the effect of global warming on the climate of cities located in the Urmia Lake basin, the changes in 14 climatic variables were evaluated through Mann-Kendall test and least of squares error test in three time scales: annual scale, wet season scale and dry season scale. The results indicated that according to the tests done the minimum, maximum and average temperatures increased in both annual and seasonal time scales. The average temperature of the area increased by 0.06 degree Celsius annually and the maximum rate of increase was about 0.13 degree Celsius per year in Maraghe. The temperature of very hot days (with a maximum of 30 degree Celsius or more) increased and the temperature of very cold days (with a minimum of -4 degree Celsius or less) decreased. Total rainfall and the amount of heavy precipitation decreased. The average rainfall in the region declined by about 4 mm a year. The wind speed parameter showed negative, positive and stable trends in the area under study, but the relative humidity was negative in most stations. In general, the results of Mann-Kendall and Least-squares error methods were consistent. Overall, the trend of climatic elements was in line with the latest findings of the intergovernmental panel on climate change.

One of the main concerns of city planners and managers is how to fairly distribute and allocate urban resources and services in different areas of cities in proportion to the needs of urban society. Optimum distribution of services are directly related to the planning of land use and the successful planning of urban land use, in turn, depends on how the laws and aropriate policies create and employ efficient methods to provide and implement urban projects as well as land use plans. This study aimed to investigate how the urban resources and services were allocated and concentrated in different areas of Shahindezh city with an emphasis on social justice. The research method was analytical-comparative while using statistical techniques as well as practical models including Williamson index and Shannon Entropy. The findings of this study indicated that the majority of urban land use in Shahindezh was under common standards of the country that according to lack of space, it could be used for cultural, religious, and sanitary purposes. The results also revealed the unfair and unequal distribution of a number of activities and services in different areas of the city. Finally, investigating the spatial distribution of urban services indicated that there was a tendency towards concentration and polarization in land use in some areas of the city.

Land-use change is a key factor in the development of the human and physical environment. Models of land-use change help understand this intricate system and can provide valuable information on possible future land-use configurations. Therefore, we investigated the changes in land use of Tabriz using satellite images taken in 1989 and 2005.We then modeled how these changes would alter the land uses for 2031 using effective parameters in Tabriz development and land Transformation model. Tabriz sharply in the past decade has faced changes in the urban land use. The results obtained from satellite images for years 1989 and 2005 represent increasingly changes, particularly agricultural land use and green spaces to built areas. With continue this process; Tabriz in the future will face a lot of challenges. The results of modeling of Tabriz in 2031 in this research show that more than 90 percent of the city will be built area and only 10 percent of the city's green spaces will be assigned to the user. Forecasting of Tabriz development in this research show that, the built areas will increase 143 percent and area of agriculture land and green spaces will decrease to 11603 and 1919 hectare respectively. With the development of the city of Tabriz in the coming decades will be encountered with increasingly ecological and environmental problems.

Rapid growth of urban population Leads to complicated problems, Especially InOccurrence Social abnormalities. Increased crime in cities threatens security and comfort of citizens and disrupts social cohesion. The Physical Structure of the cities has a significant influence on the incidence of crime and creates different spatial distribution of crime in the cities. The Demographic and socio - economic characteristics In cases where the criminals live, is one of the essential elements of Ecological crime And other ecological element is where the crime occurred. paying attention to (CPTED) help much to this. this term Is concerned with suitable designing and efficient use of space and built environment, that leads to reduction of criminal opportunities, fear of crime and improved quality of life. This theory emphasizes the optimization of opportunities, specific and clear definition of the territory, access control and the like, which are known as (CPTED) strategies, the perpetrators of the crime can be discouraged. Research methodology is Descriptive - analytic, questionnaire have been used as a tool for collecting information among the citizens of the central district of Isfahan. Research results indicate that attention to the principles and indicators of environmental optimized design and the municipalitys assistance can play a significant role in reduction of the crime

Among the various cities, extractive towns have special features, including a high focus on industries and mining activities; high environmental contaminants and social problems caused by the occupational migration, and cultural duality that could be the issue of instability in the environmental, economic, social - cultural and physical aspects created or exacerbated. In order to applied assessment indicators to determine statues of urban sustainability for the Iranian exploitative towns seem necessary. The aim of this study was to analyze and evaluate the dimensions and indicators of sustainability and sustainable urban development in the Asalooye city located southern of Iran and north of Pars Sea coast and in term of methods and procedure governing this descriptive – analytical study. Information required by the review of documents, field and completed questionnaires were collected by using SPSS software and valuation of indicators using a Likert-case is analyzed. Statistical analysis of the results after using the T-student test, Wilcoxon and Friedman tests indicate instability in the dimensions and sustainable urban development in the city.
