        Due to economic growth and demographic expansion in cities, cities face multitude of challenges. With the rising challenges, there is a need for integrated urban management approach to manage public affairs in the cities. This approach will provide a holistic solution to these problems’ cities are facing. The economic growth has created social, environmental and societal changes in the cities. To solve these problems new tools, technology and policies are required to coordinate and integrate environmental, economic, social factors in relation with urban areas to study and manage growth and solve potential problems.The present study is aimed to investigate the current model of integrated urban development management system from the perspective of urban planning in Bandar Abbas in a Descriptive-Analytical Method. The data of this research have been collected from various sources (library, documentary, electronic, various field sources). The sample size is 40, and the sample size is collected from urban planning experts based out of Bandar Abbas and Tehran. Analysis of qualitative results has been performed using the SWOT model. Based on the results, 14 various factors were identified as strengths, 38 factors as weaknesses, 9 factors as opportunities and 20 factors as threats. According to the results, the most important strength is, citizens increasing expectations from municipality to provide services. The important weakness is citizens not having knowledge and duties as a citizen, municipalities and neighboring countries. The most important threat is the influence of ethnic subcultures in the city and cultural conflicts.

        The matter of meaning in place, is one of the main qualities of human life. People consciously or unconsciously looking for meanings in places. The importance of finding the meaning of place is that, Understanding the meaning will lead to “act” in place. Finding the place friendly, or finding it insecure will lead to act differently. Now the question is that, is the meaning of place, something constant to put in place for ever or something changing from time to time. Does it related to physical elements of place or to the people using the place? Understanding the answers of questions above, would help the placemakers plan and design places better than before and meaningless places won’t happen anymore. Manuscript profile

        3 - Investigating Adaptive Behaviors in Urban Spaces in Relation to the Dialectical Concepts of Isolation and Congestion

        The presence of people in urban spaces and related components is one of the most important issues in the field of behavioral sciences in urban studies. The mechanism of static presence in urban spaces is influenced by factors that generally determine the quality of social life in these spaces. The present study examines the way people are present in urban spaces in relation to each other, and in this context, focuses on the concepts of "isolation" and "congestion" in these spaces. Studying and comparing behavioral patterns in these two thresholds, and studying its changes in the daily life sequence of urban spaces, to a large extent, clarifies the environmental preferences of space users, their behavioral actions and interactions, and the factors influencing their adaptive behaviors at peak times of "isolation" and "congestion" in public spaces. In this regard, the present paper examines this relationship through applied research based on field observations in Nabovat Square in Narmak, Tehran. The results include explaining the relationship between the environmental characteristics of urban space with the patterns of pause and presence in this space on the threshold of isolation and congestion. This study has shown that factors such as the presence of active uses, the availability of comfort facilities, the use of micro-spaces, and the placement of people in the context of creating favorable social interactions have raised the thresholds of "isolation" and "congestion" and delayed the desire to leave public spaces in these thresholds.

        Theory, approach and the tools of transect model have recently turned into one of the fundamental maxims of urban design and planning in the urbanization systems in Europe, the United States and more recently the middle-east, its fundamentals are based on reaching the sustainable development patterns in urban areas. A general accordance regarding the operationalizability of this theory and approach in creating sustainable urban development considers its generalizability in the urbanization system in Iran. The following article tries to shed light on this new approach (Transect) and to analyze and discuss its probable advances and weaknesses on controlling and directing the spaces by reviewing the literature of the research subjective through a typology of the theory and the transect approach and collection of its fundamental theories by highlighting its different aspects.Findings of the research show that transect model is, in fact, a type of cross-sections which take advantage of the theories of natural urban camouflage along in leading and controlling of urban areas which are based on the urban character. Also, by reviewing the literature f the subject toward the transect model and its background theories and approaches and to defy its similarities and differences; typology was performed based on 8 theoretical orientation indexes; subject of the theory or the approach; type of advantage from the primary discipline of ecology; urban design and planning paradigm; purpose of employing cross-sections; the type of considered order; considered elements of the place, extent of the theory or the approach. Analysing this theoretical framework shows that has a relative improvement of the transect model based on all of the typological components and those related to the ones connected to the spaces and paradigms of urban design and planning. Therefore, theorizing or expanding the theory and approach of transect model is recommended in order to solve its shortcomings and weaknesses along with attending to all of the aspects of the space and synchronizing with the paradigm of evolution as the superior paradigm of urban design and planning.
