Abstract

The physical development of a city will cause growth in other areas. Undoubtedly, the physical development of a country is an important factor in creating the dynamism of the economic system and even the well-being of its people. In this regard, Local governments need the variable, stable and sustainable financial resources for their role in this area. One of these sources is "taxes". The impact of tax on urban physical development plays an important role in its economic and social growth. In the meantime, taxes, especially the tax of estates and tenements, are one of the most reliable ways to provide resources for physical development. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to Investigating the Process of Urban Physical Development with Emphasis on Real Estate Taxes (Case Study: Five regions of Zahedan).The current approach to the present research is qualitative and quantitative and the type of research is applied. In this regard, comprehensive studies were conducted on the research indicators in the study area. The Fuzzy Mamdani model is then used to analyze the information. The results of the model function of the ranking of indicators indicate that public health and environment indices are in a desirable condition, Housing indices and quality of access are at a moderate level and educational, commercial, entertainment and recreational indicators are at an unfavorable level. The results of the status of the studied indices in determining the physical development of each of the 5 study areas in Zahedan in the output of the fuzzy inference system in the MATLAB software show that the 5th region with a score of 0.82 and first area with a score of 0.79 have a desirable level. The 4th area with a score of 0.70 has an average level of physical development. As well as the 2nd area with a score of 0.61 and third area with a score of 0.50 have an undesirable physical development.

Abstract

Today, the process of developing and constructing educational spaces tends to be more inclined to physical dimensions and is painted against human beings and their characteristics. The result is a disconnect between the students' relationship with the schools in particular and the educational environment in general. As such, they consider their students to be less part of the high school and feel less attached to it. The purpose of this study is to focus on designers 'view of the semantic levels of the school environment that can influence students' sense of place. The research method was descriptive, analytical and survey using spss software and Lisrel 8.8. This study uses the confirmatory factor analysis technique to determine whether the number of factors and loads of variables measured on these factors are consistent with what is specified in the theory. According to the results of confirmatory factor analysis, the standardized coefficients are acceptable and relatively large. Through the SEM structural model, it was estimated that the highest correlation and consistency between subjective factor with factor loadings of 0.76 and physical component rank second. With a factor load of 0.63 and finally the educational component with a standard coefficient of 0.58 establishes and promotes a sense of  belonging in high schools. At the end of the conceptual model the research was mapped using structural equation modeling and by regression it was concluded that subjective, physical and educational components predict 43% of the variance in sense of belonging in Tehran high schools.

Abstract

 As it can take an efficient step towards the preservation and sustainability of such lands due to the preparation, implementation, and reformation of criteria. In District 9 of Isfahan Municipality, mismanagement in the preservation of ecological lands has destroyed gardens and agricultural lands, and has caused the loss of social unity of neighborhoods. Consequently, the study of ecotourism management in this region is of great significance. For this reason, in this paper, a model for ecotourism management with an emphasis on urban ecological textures is provided for District 9 of Isfahan Municipality. For this reason, first, the Star method has been used as a model for interviewing experts and relevant municipal experts in Isfahan city management. At that point, with the help of library investigations and field assessments, and implementation of the grounded theory method, 3 dimensions, 10 categories, and 35 subcategories are extracted from the data gained from the interview. The main dimensions are urban texture management (with categories legislation, planning, management of resources and control and supervision), the ecological texture (with the categories: protection and development and improvement), ecotourism (with the economic, social, environmental and cultural categories).

Abstract

Public spaces and social interactions have a reciprocal relationship. The rapid urbanization, limited land availability, and neglect of these spaces in urban development initiatives have resulted in a scarcity of open and green areas per capita, consequently reducing social interactions. District 10 of Tehran, as the most densely populated area, suffers from a lack of both quantity and quality in public and open spaces. Furthermore, issues such as physical deterioration, disrupted urban landscapes, a high tenant rate, low social security, and a transient population have further diminished the quality of existing public spaces and the level of social interaction in this particular district. Hence, the aim of this study is to explore the potential for enhancing public spaces in order to promote social interactions in District 10 of Tehran. The chosen research methodology is descriptive-survey, with data collected through documentary and field studies. The SWOT and QSPM techniques have been employed for analysis.  The findings reveal that various factors play a significant role in facilitating social interaction in public spaces. These factors include the diversity of activities, integration of land use, social inclusion, accessibility to public transportation, social security, memorability, safety, engagement of all senses, readability, visibility, flexibility, availability of urban furniture, materials used in urban furniture and pavements, climate comfort, and environmental health. Moreover, creating favorable conditions for the presence of children and the elderly would lead to increased supervision and social security.  The superior scenario proposes a set of strategies, including aggressive strategies (SO1: Enhancing social security in existing public spaces, SO2: Promoting the development of open and green spaces on a per capita basis, SO4: Establishing local hangout spots and micro spaces for community gatherings, SO5: Allocating multicultural and artistic spaces, sports venues, etc.) and conservative strategies (ST1: Repurposing inactive municipal-owned spaces, ST2: Encouraging greater citizen participation in social activities). Ultimately, six prioritized strategies are identified, resulting in the formulation of 18 policies and 31 action plans.
