    As an urban life support system and as a new method in planning,green infrastructure design can be more effective in the function of natural systems of cities through integration in sustainable regeneration processes as well as integrated and coordinated management of organizations involved. Multiple management systems and disharmony of state organizations and institutions in charge of urban regeneration in green infrastructure is one of the main issues in urban management. In this regard, using green infrastructure indicators in regeneration programs, in this research, conducted in Lahijan in 2019,the organizational relationships of staff members, including state institutions of the city were examined. Also,using descriptive-analytical method and library information, as well as 400 questionnaires distributed among local residents and 50 interviews with city managers as the staff members, after analysis and implication of the data through Pearson correlation,SPSS and social network analysis in UCINET environment, the connection between urban green infrastructure indicators and sustainable regeneration was determined, and the interactions of institutions involved in regeneration were studied.According to the results of the questionnaires, a significance level of under 0.01 was found for green infrastructure and sustainable regeneration components; therefore,as a certain level, the relationship between the indicators of green infrastructure and sustainable regeneration was measured 0.95. In terms of environmental indicators,due to higher correlation coefficients and mean, the impact was higher than the other two indicators.State institutions have a high ability to preserve the urban green heritage by increasing the inter-institutional interactions and awareness.Therefore,in order to realize this approach,it is necessary to raise the awareness of each institution and collaboration among actors to increase the executive power of the staff committee members.Accordingly,the executive power of institutions is based on inter-institutional relations and collaboration and increasing the managers' knowledge about sustainable indicators of regeneration in the rehabilitation of urban green infrastructure of Lahijan.

    Traffic problems are the most prominent urban dilemmas, especially during recent years, since the capacity of old traffic arteries don’t meet the increasing volume of population and vehicles, therefore, adopting some measures in order to enhance the capacity of existing roads has been placed on the agenda of urban managers. Changing the existing intersections to over changes is one of these methods. It seems that these structures which facilitate traffic dimension in some cases and after a period of time since exploitation make considerable impacts on other dimensions especially in terms of economic and social perspectives on neighborhoods. This research is the result of investigating the impacts caused by construction of four unleveled crosses of Shahid Motahari, Kowsar (Shahid Rajaei), Sardaran, and Seyed Hasan Nasrallah (Nasr) on their surrounding neighborhoods in Qazvin city and during a 6-year period since 2011 to 2016. Extracting and investigating the existing documentary data from prior-to-construction to the end of research period besides obtaining the comments of citizens and managers and then, statistically analyzing the results of SPSS and how the impacts affect neighborhoods and desirability rate of crossroads in terms of being overpass or underpass were of the main goals of this research. Also, developing the SWOT charts and applying the AHP method and recommending the practical solutions on the basis of extracted results in order to enhance desirability and to reduce negative effects of these crosses were of other measures performed in this study.

    The sense of the place is a collection of anecdotes and individual or collective narratives that take place in association with the place, they play a role in developing social attachments to the place. This sense leads to a link between the individual to the place in which human being considers himself or herself as a part of the place and considers a role for himself or herself a role in that space based on the experiences that are created by signs, meanings, and functions. A space can create a sense of belonging and attachment to a place can bring the possibility of a social event and a shared experience among the people; This sense leads to the link between the individual and the place in which human being considers himself or herself as a part of the place and considers himself or herself a role in the place based on his or her experiences which are based on the signs, meanings, functions and character and the place will become respectable for them. The following paper is a descriptive-analytic research with the survey method which is done with the distribution of questionnaires among a number of 370 residents of the city. The variable of the sense of belonging and the influential factors on it which include personal, environmental and similar factors are considered as independent variables, also the migration and influential factors on it are considered as the intervening or controlling variables. To check the research hypothesis, statistical tests were used. The results indicated the fact that there is a meaningful relationship between the sense of belonging and intercity migration, in the sense that the amount of migration was lower for the people with higher levels of belonging, this relationship was statistically proven as the resulted levels of meaningfulness is less than 05/0, therefore the main hypothesis of the research is validated.
