The current research was carried out with the aim of ecological evaluation of the waterbrims of the Zahra river, by examining 2 Km of the waterside area, which has the most connection with the surrounding urban environment. The research method is descriptive and analytical based on its nature and method. In this research, the successful examples of ecological waterbrims have been examined and after extracting the criteria of ecological evaluation, the scoring of the area has been done using field sampling, and the process of weighting the criteria into quantitative indicators in the form of AHP weighting model and using Expert Choice software. The results of the research showed that among the three environmental criteria, transportation services and physical environment, the environmental component with 40% has a more favorable situation than the other two factors, and the transportation service component has the lowest ecological evaluation score with 13%. However, obtaining scores lower than 50% shows the overall ecological weakness of this waterbrim. The innovation of this research is to identify the ecological development criteria in urban waterbrim areas by examining successful samples in this field and providing criteria to evaluate and improve the ecological quality of these areas.

Cities in their evolution process are continuously impacted by their functions in a direct way and as a result of such impacts some changes are created in terms of spatial, economic, and socio-cultural aspects. Tourism is one of the main functions of the cities which have a noticeable impact on urban spaces. This article aims at investigating and analyzing the economic impacts of trade tourism and how it can play a role in cities economy, and how the cities are affected by such forces economically. In this regard, Baneh city has been chosen for researching such economic impacts. The geographic situation of the city and its proximity to Iraq has resulted into an increasing level of business transactions in formal and informal ways. The economic interests and benefits created from imported goods and exchanging them has formed a kind of tourism which can be called trade tourism that has expanded to the furthest cities of the country. In this survey some field data have been used and the research method was based on field work, library work and literature review and scientific analysis using SPSS software. Data collection process was based on questionnaire and the target populations were the experts related to tourism sector and urban affairs and those who were working directly in these sectors. Two questionnaires were used for collecting the data from target groups. In the first one the sample was 10 and in the second one the sample size was 263. The findings of questionnaires were analyzed through binominal distribution models and sign tests. It is revealed that the business activities and the employment resulted from this new function of cities in the absence of other sectors of economy like agriculture, industry and services, has left a considerable economic impacts on the city and has caused increased income and employment and higher level of land prices in the city.

In recent decades due to growing prices of fossil fuels and environmental pollution as a result of increased energy demand in renewable energy research and study has been considered by researchers. Resource constraints and environmental investments in the electricity sector, including key issues that will affect the process to minimize cost and environmental impact has always been regarded experts. Environmental protection and energy security of the electricity produced by power plants solar power acts emphasized. Iran has a warm climate is semiarid due to the special geographical location and orientation on the radiation belts and desert, The more central parts of the country, especially those are with a clear sky. This increase in sunshine hours and radiation from these regions than in other parts of the world. Therefore study in the construction and deployment of solar sites in the regions of the country can achieve clean energy for residents. This paper uses the capabilities of GIS and models to predict the overall radiation, sunshine hours and the amount of radiant energy receivedin Ardekan township villages. Calculated for each of the months and years, where 7/ 7hours sunny day and average 5/3 solar radiation of more than kilowatt hours per square meter per day were suitable for solar construction sites were identified. And for embedding solar panels priority direction is south and southwest in this place, respectively.

Historical and cultural contexts of cities great monuments of culture, native architecture and urban planning and considered as part of the social identity of each nation and country. Historic- cultural cities based on historic and hereditary resources have many opportunities for tourists; therefore, they are the main centers of attracting tourists. Shiraz metropolitan with rich cultural- historical backgrounds and possesses historical landscapes has high potential to attract domestic and foreign tourists. However this city can’t use so much from this industry as a source of income. Several factors are involved in this issue, disproportion land uses around the collection of Zandieh that have world-renowned, can including these factors. It is seem to be the main causes for this incompatibility, for good performance of this landuses, with locating Incompatible landuses within radius of Zandieh series use the agglomeration of population in this part of city and they were neglected from being incompatibile of this landuses with series of Zandiyeh artefacts . This study was done with aims to assess appropriateness of land uses in old contexts of Shiraz with an emphasis on the Zandieh collection which according to the nature of research used descriptive - analytical method. Results indicate that the land uses around this monuments haven’t good appropriateness which with giving help from GIS can provide suitable condition for analyzing current situation of land uses around Zandieh collection.

One of the essential functions in geografialy urban studies by using of spatial and temporal data is urban growth analysis. In this context, urban horizontal expansion can be measured by statistical indicator. The main objective of this article is monitoring of growth of 9 urban areas, quantifying the degree of urban free growth, the degree of uncontrolled urban expansion, and the benefits of urban growth for a period of years 85-91, in the Shiraz city. To achieve this goal, the K-Score Pearson test is used for measuring the degree of city expansion, and Shannon Entropy is used for the degree of city sprawl, and finally the degree of urban growth was surveyed. These dimensions were measured for both the period of 85-91 and 9areas of Shiraz. Results show that the degree of freedom for a period of time is high. In the period of 88-89 observed growth of construction was less than expected. In area 1 the observed growth is equal to the expected growth. By considering the whole city, the general Shannon Entropy also shows concentration. In the end, the analysis of city benefits indicates that Shiraz has experienced a favorable positive city growth in all regions.

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.

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.

Evaluation of environmental sustainability is inevitable because this is one of the most important tools in the planning process due to sustainable development policy making and planning. This research has a descriptive-analytical and applied method. The aim of study is to assess the environmental sustainability indicators in Ahvaz Metropolis with emphasis on air pollution and industrial pollutions. To achieve the purpose, we have used the indices of AHP for scoring. To analyze spatial data, GIS software is used. To evaluate urban environmental sustainability, we have also emphasized on two indicators of air pollution and industrial pollutions. The findings of the research indicate that the city of Ahwaz has instable environmental conditions based on air pollution. One region with effect coefficient 0.326 has the highest weight and the second region with the weight 0.033 has the lowest rates of infection among other regions. The dust storms also affect the areas of the city of Ahwaz. Evaluation of industrial pollution also shows that eight regions of the city have the highest infection rate effect (0.331) and district one with effect coefficient of 0.024 has the lowest level of industrial pollution in the urban areas.
