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.

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.

Housing sector in the past few decades due to rapid urbanization and its complications are one of the main challenges in economic development Social and country has become. So that this government is incapable of providing urban housing. Therefore, in recent decades, "theformation of housing cooperatives" as a way of limiting the housing problem in the country is taken into consideration in this regard, the present study aimed to analyze the role of housing cooperatives in the country's planning system has been developed for housing. Analytical method has been developed to collect information on library resources and documents Our findings suggest that despite the relatively small number of construction permits issued for housing cooperatives The higher the ratio of the number of residential units in the building housing cooperatives shows So that the average number of residential construction permits issued and total housing units of 3/06 And licenses issued to the private sector by about 2.6 units Licenses and permits issued to the cooperative housing unit is considered to be 1.19 Data show greater tendency to clump Housing Cooperatives And make greater use of land for construction of housing. The classification of the states with the highest number of licenses issued, an applicant for housing units in Tehran province alone has been shown that in a good clustering, and at the top And Districts of Tabriz, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz and Kermanshah in good condition, and finally the remaining half of the province who are over 25 are at a disadvantage

The quality of environment is equal to quality of life and is one of the influential factors for sustainable development. Local governments could have a great influence on the urban environment management. The objective is to apply practical and implemented methods in descriptive-analytical research. The required data are gathered using questionnaires and face to face interviews with the residents with a volume of 374. Data analysis is done using SPSS software. The results indicate that the following indexes have more factor loadings: For participation index, the tendency to participate in environmental decisions for the neighborhood; for response index, the attention of authorities to improve the condition of your neighborhood environment; for effectiveness and efficiency index, the implemented municipal programs to reduce pollution (climate, water,…) in your neighborhood; for clarity index, the level of your awareness of the executed environmental programs and plans for your neighborhood; for responsibility index, the level of responsibility of the city managers regarding urban environmental protection; for rule of law index, the level of legal action taken by authorities for stopping local polluting agents; for justice and equality index, the level of access to open and green spaces and environmental spaces of the neighborhood.
