This study aimed to develop a conceptual model to use the biomimicry approach in design of building envelopes to improve urban ecology. The research was descriptive-analytical and the required data were provided by library and field studies of buildings designed with biomimicry approach. For this purpose, first, biomimicry approach was identified, then twenty samples of biomimetic envelopes designed by architects around the world were examined and components and criteria were extracted from them. The dependency system of the criteria was measured and the importance of each criterion was determined using a network analysis process with a survey of twenty elites and experts in this field and they were weighted with the help of Super-decisions software. As a result, for functional, physical, and formal components, the relevant criteria and sub-criteria were determined according to their importance. Then, a conceptual model of quality evaluation of building envelopes with biomimicry approach was developed. The novelty of this research is the study of biomimicry approach in Iranian envelopes with nature-oriented design. In this regard, using a quality evaluation model, Barin ski building was evaluated so that according to its strengths and weaknesses, designers can make more effective decisions in design of biomimetic building envelopes in Iran.

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.

Because of modernization, local and national identities getting deformed and Have been lost their originality. Tabriz Bazaar which is considered as registered historical building never been out of this risks and there should be contextualist consideration in its designing and its improvement. The question that can be asked is what effect this kind of attention, ie contextualism, has on the Tabriz Bazar’s brand equity. This research has been done with a mixed method approach with a sequential exploratory scheme (first a qualitative method and then a quantitative method). In the first stage, experts were interviewed to extract the contextualist model of traditional commercial spaces, which did not exist before, and the data obtained from interviews with experts were evaluated using thematic analysis. The results of this analysis showed the pattern of contextualization of traditional commercial spaces. Then, after compiling the contextual questions in the form of a questionnaire, the complete questionnaire - which included the contextual questions and brand equity - was distributed and collected among 374 tourists in Tabriz Bazar. The data were then tested using Smart-Pls software and structural equation modeling. Findings show that from the perspective of Tabriz Bazar tourists, contextualism had a positive effect on brand equity. As a result, the contextualism model obtained in the present study and the preservation of social, cultural and historical values can be used to strengthen the special value of the Tabriz Bazar brand.

One of the challenges faced by urban planners is optimal urban and regional management and balance in the development of cities. the main goal of this research is to measure the economic and social stability of the cities of Mazandaran province during the census of 1385 and 1400. The current descriptive-analytical research method was carried out using the data of government agencies and the census of 1385 and 1400. In order to identify the components of sustainability, 30 professors in the field of urban planning were selected as the sample size. Measuring the economic and social stability of Mazandaran cities in the censuses of 1385 and 1400 is considered an innovation of this research. In order to evaluate the sustainability of the cities of Mazandaran province using questionnaires that were completed by experts in the field of urban planning; Among the models of stability barometer, radar, and electricity, stability factors were ranked. At the end, with the Copeland technique, the final ranking was determined. The results of the sustainability measurement techniques showed that the cities of Sari, Babol, Amel, Qaimshahr, Tankabon and Chalus have higher ranks in terms of sustainability. Also, the cities of Mazandaran province have had different stability, and the problem of instability is more related to small and medium-sized cities in terms of size, and more related to economic issues in terms of indicators. Therefore, it is possible to provide the stability and development of cities by implementing the solutions obtained from this research
