Abstract

Considering that more than one third of energy consumption is related to residential areas, proper planning and design of neighborhoods according to the climatic conditions of each region can be an effective step towards reducing energy consumption. It aims to optimize energy consumption in the residential blocks of Rushdieh neighborhood in Tabriz. Investigating and understanding the energy consumption situation in Rushdieh neighborhood of Tabriz, its capabilities and bottlenecks in planning is very important, if they are not paid attention to and there are no efficient strategic plans, it will lead to an increase in social, economic and environmental instability. According to its nature, the research method is descriptive-analytical and practical in terms of purpose. It is related to the intended goals of the research, the statistical population of the research is the professors, experts and elites of urban planning, which has been used to examine the indicators and strategies. The method of selecting people was targeted and snowball. Finally, the results showed that the formulation of policies, practical measures to improve the design of main roads and local accesses in the direction of neighborhood air conditioning should be emphasized as the most important strategy. In order to reduce energy consumption, the development of neighborhood design policies and residential blocks with the goals of using wind energy to reduce energy consumption have been placed in the second and third ranks of this prioritization, respectively.

Abstract

In recent years, urban regeneration has been proposed as an approach for modernizing the urban environment. Sustainable urban regeneration is a comprehensive approach to restore social, physical, economic and environmental development to urban areas. Considering the important effects of urban space optimization on the quality of life of citizens, especially people with disabilities in public places, sustainable urban development is a necessity. In this study, spatial quality of Tehran 6th region has been analyzed due to physical limitations of people with motor disabilities. In order to collect data, library and survey methods have been used. The statistical society of this study is immobile and aquadroplasia patients. For this purpose, a questionnaire has been completed by patients with aquadroplasia and motor disability. Using single-sample T-test, spatial quality component analysis and urban regeneration services were performed in the form of physical-spatial, functional-service, content characteristics indices. Then, using Pearson correlation analysis and regression, the relationships between indices and their impact on the quality of urban environment in district 6 were identified. The results of single sample T-test showed that the quality and satisfaction of the urban environment of district 6 are not at a high level in terms of immobility residents. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that at the level of physical-spatial characteristics, in the sub-index area of access and roads organization has the greatest effect of B=0.518 on citizens' satisfaction. At the functional-service characteristics level, social welfare services sub-index (B=0.531) has the greatest impact. At the content characteristics level, environmental health sub-index =0.680 and B=0.627 have the highest effect. The importance of indicators varies from person to person and from neighborhood to neighborhood according to their individual abilities and needs, but as the findings suggest, for the needs of people with disabilities in district 6, some measures have not been taken to optimize the urban environment of this area for social comfort, environment.

Abstract

It has a complex and multi -dimensional conceptual life and guarantees the performance of the ecosystem from the smallest unit to the surface of the Earth, or in other words from local levels to world levels, and its patterns are quite different from one region to region. In this regard, in the past three decades, in addition to the human impacts, the use of harmful resources and industries, the vulgarity of the ozone, the greenhouse, the greenhouse and the effects of the phenomena, and the phenomena of the city, Various environmental and environmental and remedies have been increased, which has increased melods to zero. For this purpose, in this study, it has been attempted to identify and analyze the key propellers affecting biodiversity by emphasizing the environmental indicators in Tehran's 11 metropolitan area. In this study, with the technique of environmental and Delphi dynamics, 57 primary factors were extracted in eleven different areas and then, using the Delphi method of managers, the matrix of the components of the components was formed. Next, the matrix analysis has been analyzed through the Michemac software. The results of the distribution of variables on the axis of influence and influence of the factors in the Micmac software indicate the system's instability within the scope of the study, and therefore five categories of variables were identified. Finally, due to the high direct and indirect effect of factors, seven key factors were identified as key factors in the field of biodiversity, with emphasis on the environmental indices of the region. Among the preferences under consideration, the variables of public transport status (speed, accuracy, confidence, security, security, convenience, economic affordability) and public access to the green space had the highest impact on the biodiversity in the study area.

Abstract

Lefebvre's theory has received much attention in the field of space production, and its importance is especially in the fact that it is systematically integrated in the categories of city and space as a comprehensive and comprehensible social theory.
The traditional planning of land use is completely abstract and formal and devoid of perceptual and meaningful components, but Lefouri's trialectic approach is not like this and consists of three virtues (spatial practice-spatial representation and representational space) that are in communication with each other and collaboratively and at the same time in the moment. They form, produce a whole.This research has a descriptive and analytical method, and in terms of its purpose, it is fundamental. The changes caused by the arrival of new paradigms in the approaches of urban planning and urban design, which assigns a different nature to the strategic system of urban development changes, and on the other hand, new attention to space and finding the concept of living space to be important, it seems that Lefebvre's trialectic approach is contrary to traditional user planning. The land values ​​the everyday space and lived experience of the residents and can create spaces that increase the sense of place and sense of belonging of the residents to their living space.The review of the concepts shows that the concept of lived space (abstract-concrete space) was influenced by different approaches of the philosophy of science (interpretative and critical) and now it is witnessing an approach change (paradigm), which can show social transformations. This study shows that space-place (living space or space-love) is, unlike the previous definition of space based on positivist (mental and perceptual), abstract and generalist approaches, mainly a demarcated area of ​​space that has physical-concrete characteristics and It is formed and filled with meaning through human experience.

Abstract

In today's world, due to the pervasiveness of the Internet and electronic information, one of the tasks of urban management is to improve the quality of life of citizens, their access, and the optimal use of urban electronic services. These services can help improve the geographical situation of the city due to reducing the need for physical movement of citizens, reducing
traffic and pollution and increasing access to services.
However, if the urban management fails to use and implement this type of service properly, there will be a negative attitude towards e-services for citizens. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of urban management performance on the quality of life and the behavioral intention to use urban electronic services with an emphasis on citizen satisfaction in Mashhad metropolis. In this research, through library studies, literature review and previous researches, 67 indicators (items) have been extracted and categorized in the form of 19 components. After calculating the statistical sample size of the research through Cochran's formula, 478 questionnaires were distributed among the citizens of Mashhad. Finally, the components were evaluated using structural equation modeling with partial in Smart PLS3 software. Findings indicate that the citizens of Mashhad are moderately satisfied with the components and study subjects. The results obtained from structural equations show that The "Communications" component with a path coefficient of 0.87 affects the performance of urban management and the "Work facilitation" component with a path coefficient of 0.841 affects citizens' satisfaction with electronic services. The performance of urban management with a path coefficient of 0.717 affects the citizens' satisfaction with electronic services. Also, these two factors affect the quality of life with 0.58 and 0.252, respectively, and satisfaction with electronic services affects behavioral intention with 0.757. The urban management of Mashhad can pay attention to the results obtained from this research to achieve a city with desirable and satisfactory electronic services.

Abstract

One of the issues raised in the developing countries of the world is the issue of reducing damages caused by natural and man-made hazards. Various theories and paradigms such as crisis management and resilience have been proposed to reduce the level of risk vulnerability. Among the mentioned vulnerabilities is physical vulnerability. Now, the most important question that is raised in this research is whether according to the various studies that have been done in the field of physical vulnerability, apart from objective measures, the level of satisfaction of the residents has also been examined and whether it exists. Is there a relationship between objective and subjective indicators in this field? The case study studied in this research is Region 4 of Urmia City, which has a problematic context. This research is of an applied type and its method is descriptive-analytical, to examine this objective and subjective relationship of physical vulnerability, first objective variables were examined using spatial analysis and then subjective variables were examined using a Likert scale. questionnaire. And finally, this relationship has been measured using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The research results indicate that according to the correlation coefficient of 0.623 between subjective and objective variables; There is a significant relationship between the objective view (reality on the ground) and the subjective view (satisfaction of residents) in the field of urban physical vulnerability indicators.

Abstract

One of the problems of the cities around the capitals in the third world countries is that urbanization overtook urban development and this issue has created many problems in these cities. The lack of characteristics such as transparency, accountability, rule of law, participation, efficiency and the like in the urban management system also adds to the severity of the issues. The aim of the present research is to investigate the quality of urban physical-spatial development management with a good governance approach and to provide optimal strategies for the city of Shahryar. The research method is descriptive-analytical in terms of developmental and practical purpose, and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature. Data collection was done based on documentary and survey methods, and the tools of interview letter and questionnaire were used. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests, MICMAC software and SWOT model have been used in data analysis. The statistical population includes the city's citizens and the group of experts. Validity assessment was done using construct validity and reliability assessment using Cronbach's alpha method. The results show that the overall average status of physical-spatial development management in Shahryar city from the point of view of good governance indicators is equal to 2.006, which is in an average situation based on the Likert spectrum. The findings of the investigation of the influential factors on the quality of governance of this city with the help of MICMAC software show the stability of the system. Finally, the examination of the strategies for realizing the model of good governance in the urban management system shows the predominance of the strategy (Strengths and threats) in the urban management system of Shahriar, which is based on increasing the level of supervision, developing the capacity of the audit system and the headquarters to fight against corruption and violations. The administration emphasizes the fight against mafia and lobbying in urban management, the development of plans and programs for the renovation of worn-out city structures, the development of electronic technologies and tools, and the improvement of economic and human indicators of urban management.

Abstract

Land use planning is one of the essential aspects of sustainable urban development, aiming to balance land use in urban areas. This study seeks to identify the factors influencing the realizability of service land uses in Zanjan city through a futures studies approach. Data collection employed a combination of library and field methods. In the field phase, the Delphi method was used, engaging 35 experts in urban planning, urban management, and housing, who assessed key factors across two rounds of questionnaires.
A total of 36 factors were identified across five dimensions: legal, economic, socio-cultural, physical-spatial, and managerial. The data were analyzed using MICMAC software. The results indicated that "urban land use laws and regulations" and "service location and spatial distribution" scored the highest direct influence values (85 and 82, respectively), playing the most significant roles in realizing service land uses. Key barriers identified include weak institutional coordination, inappropriate physical development policies, and lack of effective citizen participation. Cross-impact matrix analysis revealed a 55.32% fill rate, indicating a system of interdependent and mutually influential factors that contribute to the instability of service land use realizability. The study proposed solutions to improve the current situation, including: Revising urban laws and regulations, Strengthening institutional coordination among relevant bodies, Utilizing modern technologies such as GIS for proper service location planning, and Enhancing citizen participation culture in urban planning. The findings not only identified key influential factors but also emphasized the importance of considering multidimensional and sustainable aspects in service land use planning. This research provides a foundation for sustainable development and spatial justice in Zanjan city.

Abstract

Synergogy is a method whose principles are based on group participation and comprehensive structural synergy in the learning process. In the meantime, the content of location-based courses (such as geography) is intertwined with spatial data, and its stabilization requires memorization and mental imagery. Experience has shown that learning these subjects in traditional ways has not been effective and has not been able to stabilize the learning content. This research is written with the nature of the applied method and with the aim of investigating the synergistic rhythm of the place-based curriculum of geography. The statistical population was 60 students of the final year of geography at Farhangian University, who collected data using the library and field method (Choo and Bowley evaluation model) and entered it into SPSS software, and analyzed the data with the rhythm analysis model and the structural equation model of path analysis.The results Examining the components of group dynamics, doing work, feedback and the variables of place, time and classroom space arrangement shows that the synergistic rhythm of place-based courses has a linear, continuous, regular and gradual growth, which is important in regular linear practical courses and in sinusoidal theory courses. Is. At the same time, in the structural equation, the effect of time-spatial variables and space arrangement on the synergism of the place is continuous and they are in continuous relationship with the positive direction. It is more desirable to conduct the synergy method of place-based geography lessons with the priority of workshop classes, technology site and smart classes. Holding synergistic classes in the morning (9 to 11) is considered the most suitable time.The direct and indirect effect of the sum of all variables on synergy has relative favorability.

Abstract

Informal settlements, as one of the most important challenges of urban management in Iranian metropolises, require the adoption of new approaches with an emphasis on public participation and a community-based approach in the field of local planning and development. Within this framework, facilitation offices have been established in some informal neighborhoods with the aim of raising awareness and empowering residents, strengthening the relationship between official institutions and the local community, and improving social, economic, and physical indicators. However, the effectiveness of these offices in practice has been less evaluated structurally and empirically. The present study aimed to analyze the performance of facilitation offices in four neighborhoods of Tabriz metropolis, focusing on its relationship with empowerment, social participation, and physical, economic, and social outcomes.The research method is descriptive-analytical and applied. Data were collected in the field using a researcher-made questionnaire from 396 residents of neighborhoods with facilitation offices in 1401 and analyzed using structural equation modeling in SmartPLS software. The results showed that the performance of the offices had a direct effect on empowerment with a coefficient of 0.907 and on local participation with a coefficient of 0.636. Participation also played a significant mediating role in improving social indicators with a coefficient of 0.438, economic indicators with a coefficient of 0.294, and physical indicators with a coefficient of 0.266. Also, educational measures, transparent information, and interaction with local institutions were among the most important influential factors in the neighborhood development process. Accordingly, the research findings can be a basis for reviewing urban policies and creating participation-based institutions in the process of recreating and developing informal settlements

Abstract

In recent decates, the subject of quality of living in city and the satisfaction of citizens from their environments has attarced the views the most of researchers and international institutes around the world. Because of its importance, UN to publish a report annually in which different cities around the world ranked and compared through the quality of life. Quality of living talk about different indices and one of its important indices is access to the city services which in turns would decrease some of the city problems such as slums and irregular construction, land speculation and etc. This research tries to analysis the city quality of living according to the standards of services access in cities. So, quality of service access was analysed in objective and subjective sections in old zone of Urmia. The research method is descriptive-analytic and we use questioner, different models such as AHP and network analysis and fuzzy techniques, Pierson coefficient for our study. Results show that satisfaction of city-service access has a very meaningful statistic impact on the subjective factors of quality of living and as it increases more, we have more subjective quality. These results tell planners that key factors would have great impacts and roles on the satisfaction of the life of citizens.

Abstract

 
In this study, to show the inequality between different cities in Ardebil province, 60 developmental indicators in different sections including health care, social, educational, cultural and infrastructural sections have been analyzed through VIKOR model. Moreover, for data analysis and graph and table representation of data Excel, SPSS, and ARC Map 10.1 software was used. For determining validity of the research indicators, questionnaires were completed by experts (16 experts and professionals in the related area) through AHP model. A survey in 2011 showed that from among 10 cities in Ardabil province, Ardebil city; Serein Germy and Khalkhal; Parsabad, Bilesavar and Namin; Meshginshahr, Nir and Kosar were developed, developing, less developed, and undeveloped areas, respectively. This inequality is the result of environmental, economic and political factors and it also reflects inadequacy of spatial planning, which places Ardabil in its high priority for development. Furthermore, according to the conducted analyses it is concluded that there is an imbalanced regional inequality on city scale in Ardabil province; there is a meaningful and positive relationship between the population of a city and the degree of its development; finally there is a meaningful and positive relationship between the distance from the provincial capital and the degree of its development.

Abstract

The management of land development in the compilation of urban development documents is a very important topic. Failure to pay attention to this necessity, and the course of physical development foreseen for urban areas, make the main goal of the development plan, which improves the quality of housing in urban areas, not being realized. The purpose of this study is to introduce a functional model for land development management in order to guide and manage the urban development flow. To this end, the Land Readjustment Plan (LR) as the selected method of land management in urban areas is introduced and it is possible to perform it in a range of Yazd city. The general research method used in this descriptive-analytic study. The data used in this article collected by the library method as well as the field survey were used and analyzed using ArcGIS software. In this regard, a proposal for the scope of the study was compiled and evaluated before and after the implementation of the plan. The calculation of the distributional index showed that the proposed scheme would give 20% of the profits to the owners in the scope of the study. The conclusion from this study shows that using the Land Readjustment Program as an economic and design tool, planning and redevelopment of undeveloped lands can be done in accordance with urban needs. This planning involves modifying the layout of parts, modifying the network of roads, supplying services and infrastructure of the facility. Thus, the field of realization of urban development plans in these areas was provided. It also provided the basis for the participation of all stakeholder groups through creating the necessary attractions for the groups influencing the implementation of the project.

Abstract

Livability approach is defined as the healthy, safe, suitable and economically accessible urban system that brings about high life quality and is considered as a subset of sustainable development. Although investigating urban livability can be advantageous in identifying deficiencies and taking actions in order to improve livability of the living environment of residents, but unfortunately there has been inadequate considerations about livability theory in Iran. the result, in this study, the livability of Urumia city has been investigated. Firstly, after devising 24 factors in 4 aspects (Physical-Environmental, Economic, Social and Health) this index was evaluated in urban areas by using newly invented model RALSPI with descriptive-analytical approach. Finally, based on this model, the areas were placed within the range of very livable to intolerable, so that District #1 was determined as the best area with livability score of 0.31 and District #2 was determined as the most unlivable area with the score of 0.007. This issue revealed a huge gap between the areas of the city.
