        Agricultural land-use changes are considered as one of the undesirable phenomena indicating the greedy nature of humans. One of the most important consequences of this undesirable change is disorder in the livelihoods and income of local residents and the occurrence of population movements. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to investigate the consequence of agricultural land-use change on the demographic changes in rural areas of Sari city. The method of this study is descriptive-analytical and library and survey methods were used to collect data. The statistical population of the study was 25 villages, which were selected by random quota sampling and according to Cochran formula, 381 families were selected as sample size. The results of the analysis showed that in the last decade, agricultural lands has been decreased by 6% in the studied villages. It has had a great impact on the rural population dynamics. In villages near to the city and the sea due to their proximity to Sari city and having more job opportunities and benefiting from services and infrastructure an increase in population density has occurred, while in remote villages due to lack of access and unfavorable services and facilities, and value added of agricultural land-use change population decline has occurred.

        Urban integrated management is one of the most important and fundamental issues to consider and address in the area of metropolitan management. Despite the fact that more than 100 years of Tehran's urban modern-city management system, but due to the overwhelming focus of the government in the management of cities, municipalities and councils, they still do not have the necessary independence for their decision making and urban policy. Therefore, attention and explanation of this issue is one of the most important issues which is necessary considering the development of physical, spatial and demographic development, as well as the complexity and complexity of the problems and challenges of Tehran. This paper is aimed at strategic planning of integrated urban management in Tehran metropolitan area based on the strategic planning model of Meta-SWOT. The present study is descriptive-analytic, and in terms of target targeting. The data collection method has been a library and survey. The results of this study indicated that among the resources and internal capabilities of the modification of urban management laws, the integration of all actors in the field of urban management and general management in the city had the highest score. Also, the results of external environmental factors that indicate that the unidentified components of the integrated attitude in urban management, the lack of separation of political leadership from specialized management and the lack or weakness of the mechanisms for strengthening organizational communication indicates the impact of environmental factors. According to studies, the northern regions have the least and the southern regions of Tehran metropolis have the highest level of inconsistency. Therefore, in proportion to the growth of urbanization in Tehran, there is a lack of formation of integrated urban management. As a result, there is no reasonable coordination between the construction of spaces and the body of the city and the natural and physical environment with the social, economic and cultural situation.

        AbstractIn addition to enabling the relationship between city dwellers and nature, urban parks enhance social interactions, and even affect the social functions of adjacent public spaces. Factors affecting the social functions of urban parks can be divided into two categories; internal features such as the size, facilities and physical characteristics of the park; and external features, i.e. the park's relationship with the surrounding public spaces. This article examines the two Tonekabon urban parks, which are markedly different in terms of these characteristics, to explain how these distinctive features affect their social functioning.This is a descriptive study and data collection was done by survey and field observation. The statistical sample includes 400 park users, which are selected exclusively from the residents of this city, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, t-test, correlation and regression were used to analyze quantitative data. According to the findings, the higher the relationship between parks and activities in the surrounding public spaces, the higher their security and vitality. In the Javan Park, the effect of the interrelationships of the parks with the surrounding activities and public spaces on user satisfaction, and in the Madar Park, the effect of physical quality and facilities on user satisfaction is higher. Although the social functions of urban parks are influenced by various physical factors and characteristics, but parks are integral part of public spaces and activities in it, and even the effectiveness of these factors and characteristics is more influenced by the specific spatial-social context in which the functions of the park are performed.

        Responsive House to the needs of residents has always been a concern of humans. If the residents are people with specific characteristics and restrictions. The role of housing designer is important in responding to these special needs.At present, due to the significant number of physically and physically disabled people in the community, especially in the city of Ardabil, the physical, spatial and mobility needs of this segment of community are not considered optimally; Therefore, what social housing offers to such people are limited options for choosing their place of residence and places of social communication, which makes them more and more isolated. For this purpose, the Q research method is used to identify the physical components affecting the mental satisfaction of veterans. The statistical population of Q was physical-motorized survivors of residential complexes in Ardabil city. The correlation between the views of the audience about Q's propositions, data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software.The results showed the existence of two mindsets among the audience. The first concept often refers to the issues related to the type and level of access to services and facilities and the second dimension of the emphasis on the dimensions and proportions of design spaces.The effect of designer's attention on seemingly minor issues, such as access, communication of spaces, dimensions, sizes, and the like, is a major part of the mental problems of devotees. The designers can be a positive step in helping to better deal with the stresses caused by veterans' physical limitations. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: One of the principles of passive defense which needs to be paid attention when utilized in critical and sensitive uses is the distribution and deployment of such uses, therefore is to keep and observe appropriate distances and boundaries and also the proximity to other significant uses. Purpose of the research: Explaining the distribution pattern of vital land uses and identifying vulnerable urban tissues is the main purpose of this study.Methodology: The presented study has been done with descriptive-analytical methodology for the city of Mahabad (2020). The used data in the study are quantitative (shape files) and in order to measure the density of the distribution of the uses and also their distribution pattern in Mahabad (which are the aims of the study), ArcGIS software’s spatial statistics techniques have been used intensely.Geographical area of research: The study area of this research is the city of Mahabad, which is located in the south of West Azerbaijan province.Findings and Discussion: The results show that the distribution pattern of the critical faculties is a clustered pattern in a way that the most of these facilities are observed in the central and western parts of the city. Also, the geometric and geographical center is located in the central part and extends northeast to southwest. In other words, the deployment of support and management centers in the central part and major military centers in the western part of the city has caused such a distribution pattern. Therefore the tissues located in these parts have the most vulnerability. In addition, the results from the calculations of the radius of vulnerabilities of critical land uses revealed the fact that 78 thousand people, roughly equal to %53 of the total population and also 887 hectares, equal to %37 of the total area of the city are located in the vulnerability zone center (Elliptical Standard Deviation). This zone which includes the central neighborhoods and the initial and worn out core of the city has a high density of population comparing to the other urban neighborhoods, hence comprises a large part of the urban population. Conclusion: The issue of vulnerability and safety against accidents and military conflicts in the city of Mahabad is very serious. Manuscript profile

        Architectural and urban features of the past explain the identity of cities. The study of the historical contexts of cities, the spatial structure and configuration of historical spaces, and specifically residential buildings, reveals the extent to which the structure of space affects the behavioral patterns of residents. It should be noted that the yard and open space of residential buildings are the center and core for organizing home spaces. This article was examined the yard configuration of residential buildings in the historical context of Lahijan in Sharbafan neighborhood in the twentieth decade. The research method in the present study was associated with descriptive-inferential analysis, which was done quantitatively and qualitatively. In the qualitative section, library documents were examined. In the quantitative part, first, the spatial structure of Sharbafan neighborhood was simulated based on an old photo belonging to the 1320s by Cinema 4D software. In the next step, the simulated range plan was drawn in Autocad software and dxf output was taken from it. To analyze and study the spatial organization and space syntax, and to obtain a variety of indicators of combined analysis using the axial map, among the software in this regard, by studying and reviewing, UCL Depth Map software has been used for this research. Comparing the visual and axial Intelligibility of the samples shows the superiority of the two-sided type in axial and visual Intelligibility over the one-sided and middle-sided types. The highest correlation was observed in the visual Intelligibility of the two-sided type and the lowest correlation was observed in visual Intelligibility of the one-sided type. Access to physical information and spatial structure of historical contexts through photographs allows the study and comparison of the current situation with the previous era. Analysis of spatial and physical structure of the simulated model with space syntax software makes it possible to study architecture and spaces of historical contexts. Manuscript profile

        Today, urban society is facing many problems, including environmental issues. Behshahr city has also been created due to population change and increase in construction with many environmental issues such as: change and destruction of natural lands, reduction of green areas, fragmentation of land uses, etc. Based on the purpose of this study, the ecological change of Behshahr city in order to provide solutions for ecological configuration of the landscape (landscape) and the promotion of environmental radiation, using the principles of the landscape with the Forman mosaic model (spots, corridors and matrices) and Pathology is one of the structural elements of the landscape. For this purpose, first the elements of the ecological structure of the city were detected using satellite images of 1986 and 2020, then the changes of these elements were analyzed by 5 metric landscape (MNN, LSI, MPS, LPI, NP) in Fragstats program and in The pathology of these elements was continued by analyzing natural and artificial spots and corridors of the city. Finally, by zoning the degree of ecological continuity (vegetation) in Arc GIS software, solutions were provided to improve the ecological continuity of each zone. The results show that the elements of ecological structure, especially agricultural spots, gardens and green space of Behshahr city are not in good condition in terms of composition and spatial distribution and during the study period in terms of ecological continuity, especially agricultural spots have been severely damaged. So that crop and garden green spots have decreased by 52% and 31%, respectively, during the last 34 years. Last year it was reduced by about 48 meters, gardens and green spaces by about 10 meters, and the distances between similar ecological spots increased. Finally, it leads to the presentation of: (1) operational and executive "protective" solutions in relation to natural and green corridors and stains (2) and "corrective" operational and executive solutions based on the creation of green ecological networks and the restoration of stains. Destroyed as well as a critical network map of the study area. Manuscript profile

        Due to the deep changes in Contemporary societies and the transition from the traditional to the modern and postmodern societies, the old and pre-constructed identity has become a constructed thing that is constantly being restored; it has been influenced by a complex network of causal relationships in various physical, functional, social, semantic, and natural aspects. This is important in the place identity, especially in historical areas, due to drastic economic and physical changes, as these areas are in fact the most important identity element of cities. Thus, the historical district of Tehran is examined due to the double importance of the components of political economy that marginalize identity factors. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to determine the causal relationship and prioritize the components of spatial identity. In order to achieve this goal, first, 19 questionnaires were given to experts using purposeful and consecutive sampling method based on the logic of DAMATEL model in the form of a 32 * 32 matrix, the relationships between variables are determined and then The importance of each is determined by using the combined model of the DEMATEL and the Analytical Network process. The results show that the "social" criterion is the most important criterion, followed by the "semantic" and "physical" criteria. the indicators of "the degree of adaptation of space to climate", "the level of memorization of space", "the degree of visual appeal”, “the rate of occurrence of specific and unique events in space" are the most important indicators in the network.

        One of the most important natural hazards is floods, which will cause a lot of damage if they occur. One of the most important ways to deal with this natural hazard is to zoning the flood potential. The present study was conducted with the aim of zoning the risk of floods in Fariman city with emphasis on urban and rural areas in 1399. This type of research is an applied type in which fuzzy logic, hierarchical analysis and GIS software are used. The eight criteria studied in this paper include slope, distance from the river, altitude, geology, land use, rainfall, drainage density and vegetation. Based on the results obtained from the combination of layers by fuzzy overlap method and the final weight obtained from the fuzzy hierarchy analysis model, in which the height variable with a weight coefficient of 0.271 is the highest and land use with a coefficient of 0.040 has the lowest impact on flooding. The study area has. Therefore, according to the flood risk classification map of Fariman city, it can be stated that very high risk areas 17.8%, high risk areas 14.2%, medium risk areas 20.4%, low risk areas 22.5% and areas with high risk Occupies very little risk with 25.1% of the city area; It should also be noted that the city of Freeman is in a very low danger zone. In terms of rural settlements, most of the settlements in this city are in the zone of moderate vulnerability. Therefore, it is suggested that the necessary attention be paid to the improvement, design and implementation of watershed and aquifer management projects and the location of new cities and towns, as well as rural development projects in the study area. Planners and decision makers should also take the necessary action to reduce the risk of proper location of infrastructure and location of city facilities. Manuscript profile
