  The rapid increase in urbanization in the past few decades has led to various perspectives, including the inequality of services and facilities, the decline in the quality of life, the wear and tear of neighborhoods, etc. This has led to the attention of urban designers and planners on improving the quality of life, who mention this concept under the title of urban livability. The old texture of the cities due to the historical antiquity and the existence of valuable historical elements, suitable communication situation, the location of the city's main market and its economic beating heart, etc., has a unique value and position in the spatial-functional structure of the city. The main goal of this research is to measure and evaluate the indicators of livability in the worn-out structure of Darb Babataher neighborhood in order to improve the viability of this historical structure. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and research-applied. The data was collected using a questionnaire, which was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha method, and the reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed using the Cronbach's alpha test, which was 0.851, which shows that the reliability of the questionnaires is at an acceptable level. In the final stage, the data was analyzed using t-test and Fisher's test, and among the factors affecting livability, urban services dimension with an average value of 134.26 and historical dimension with an average value of 69.93 were respectively the worst and best dimensions in life. The acceptability of the neighborhood has been recognized. However, it can be analyzed that although this neighborhood is considered the most important historical neighborhood of the city and is located in the center of the city, the desirable standards of life and its livability are at a very poor level.

  The Intertextual Reading of Lalehzar Context Based on Event-Space Concept for Improving Its Spatial QualityAbstract: As valuable traditional pieces of the past, historical and cultural contexts are indispensable parts of any society, highlighting the importance of their preservation and restoration. Generally, historic sites carry the bio-codes of generations who left their distinct traces at a point in time. Without a shadow of a doubt, these unique footprints shape the cultural capital of any nation, including memories and mental images of citizens, leading to the basis of their identity. This article aimed to determine the most influential factors in improving the spatial quality of valuable urban context based on the concept of “event-space” through an intertextual reading. The selected area in this study was the Lalehzar context, one of Tehran's oldest historical and cultural streets. Reminiscing with vivid memories from the past citizens, Lalehzar street was a representation of modern life. This is why it consists of a significant number of cinemas, hotels, cafes, boutiques, and markets as modern functional representations, being an appropriate container for various social-cultural events and modern behavior. However, during the last seven decades, this area has lost its identity because of the city development and its negative consequences. Unfortunately, a large part of this historic district has been damaged due to the absence of social and cultural activities and an unfit neighborhood. Many symbolic spaces in Lalehzar have been destroyed or are on the verge of destruction. The place is now mainly used for everyday activities, entirely in contradiction with the physical body of the street in the form of electronics stores, resulting in intensified visual pollution. Given its rich history in Tehran and its exceptional location neighboring Baharestan Square and Toopkhaneh Square, Lalehzar Street has a brilliant capacity to accept new uses befitting its cultural and historical status. In doing so, the spatial quality and its improvement as an area of theoretical study in contemporary architecture were put into consideration, and the research and views of experts like Bentley, Rogers, Bell, and Golkar have been compared and analyzed. Some architects and urban designers believe that current factors are insufficient for the quality improvement of valuable contexts. Considering that the history and backgrounds of buildings are crucial in urban design and quality improvement, the intertextual approach was chosen to reinforce available potential and eliminate disharmonious parts. Intertextuality refers to the various relationships of texts, and intertextual reading allows studying different layers of a text and utilizing hermeneutics, the science of interpretation and change. Meanwhile, what is so important about this area was the events that took place here granted a lively atmosphere, almost equal to its physical representations and history that the built environment historians usually pay attention to. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to find the hidden dimensions of the effects of event space on spatial quality in Lalehzar through intertextual reading. The main research question was posed as follows: How can we determine the reliable and influential factors in spatial design quality improvement in valuable contexts through intertextual reading? In this qualitative interpretive research, the views of experts in event-space and spatial quality were first studied. To collect the data, in addition to the library resources and documentary research, interviews were conducted with the space users and audiences, whether at the buildings or in their neighborhood. To narrow down the study for accurate results, five landmark event spaces (Grand Hotel, Nasr Theater, Pars Theater, Pars Café, and Alborz Cinema) were selected through purposeful sampling, and they were studied and analyzed over two years. The data were coded via interpretive and content analysis, and eventually, SPSS and MAXQDA were used to analyze the extracting data. The former was used for quantities analysis resulting in a diagram of crucial factors for improving the quality of space based on the theorists’ writings, while the latter was used for creating some graphical coding diagrams for both the conducted research and interviews. The study’s results indicated that space perception, attachment to the natural flow of life (proportion, order, dynamicity), and spatial formation (variety and hierarchy) were the most influential factors in improving the quality of valuable contexts.Keywords: Intertextual Reading; Event-Space; Space quality enhancement; Lalezar; Valuable historical context.

  From the general opinions about the patterns of urban design expressed by many theorists, the evolutionary process of the concept of urban objects can be formulated in the form of 3 patterns according to different styles of urban design: 1. Aesthetic/decorative style 2. Functional/software. Model-oriented 3. Sensory/contextual model. The most important feature of "cosmetic/decorative urban body" is to understand the urban body as a two-dimensional view of the wall, and basically two-dimensional walls that rarely communicate with the surrounding spatial structure and are like a thin and luxurious dress that covers the city. It has been said that the walls in question decorate the city, cover its ugliness and in a way give beauty and art to the city. But on the other hand, the most important feature of the functional/program-oriented urban body model is to stay away from it. The concept of a two-dimensional wall is presented in the form of a three-dimensional spatial structure, and the understanding of the urban environment is usually defined as a three-dimensional object under the title of "spatial model" and finally theoretical foundations. The "perceptual/contextual urban body" can be found in postmodern theories, phenomenological studies, and environmental perception studies, which practically created a new type of aesthetics that can be called "perceptual or phenomenological aesthetics". In this body model, it is viewed not only from the eyes of the head, which is mentioned in the aesthetic/decorative and functional/program oriented urban body model, but also from the eyes of the mind and the eyes of the heart.The form obtained from the combination of the three views mentioned. In this research, the classification of urban patterns in the architecture of historical bodies in the construction of intermediate buildings in the historical context was discussed. Discussion Also, in this research, urban styles in the construction of buildings in historical context were divided into three categories of styles, based on the research of this practice, it can be said that in terms of theoretical foundations and based on the stated theories, three conceptual models of the urban body based on " decorative wall model", "space model" and "space model". There is also a fundamental difference between these three modelsIn Iran, there are no laws for the construction of intermediate buildings in the historical context, on the other hand, there is no specific program in organizations such as cultural heritage, the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development and other related organizations in the form of codified and organized laws, and all these organizations are subject to the laws. The Athens Charter states that these laws and regulations are international and do not pay attention to the local aspect; although the implementation of these laws in Iranian organizations has created a structural order in the construction of intermediate buildings; But it has been used for a long time without updating and paying attention to the canvas. Construction patterns in historical contexts are subject to many disagreements among theorists.in the following the advantages and disadvantages and opinions of other theorists have been discussed in connection with each of the implemented models and examples. It is hoped that by examining this issue, we will be able to find a specific framework for the construction of new buildings in historical contexts in different cities of Iran. Manuscript profile

  Urban regeneration is a comprehensive and integrated approach, emphasizing the expansion of intergroup relationships through voluntary associations, clubs, unions, and typically local and non-governmental groups. This applied research aims to assess the desirability of social participation in the reconstruction of the historical neighborhood of Soro. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical methodology, this study is designed to evaluate the desirability of the social participation component in redeveloping the historical context of Soro from the perspective of local residents. The information was collected through library studies, employing a questionnaire and interviews. The sample size consists of 400 local residents, and for data analysis, SPSS software and the factor analysis method were employed. Through content analysis and a review of various sources and theoretical texts, indicators were extracted and classified into four groups: internal, relatively internal, external, and relatively external indicators. The results revealed that 44% of social indicators are most influenced by internal factors, followed by 28% for cultural indicators, 16% for physical indicators, and 12% for economic indicators, respectively.

  Historical contexts serve as significant carriers of ancient heritage, conveying cultural and civilizational messages across generations. The surroundings of the holy shrine in Mashhad boast valuable historical and religious landmarks such as historic houses, mosques, gardens, and caravanserais. However, due to their integration within aging urban fabric, these sites face challenges including visual degradation, structural integrity issues, accessibility constraints, and deficiencies in urban infrastructure. Despite the establishment of regeneration offices, efforts to preserve and maintain these sites have not been entirely successful. This research aims to assess the operational pathology of facilitation offices, particularly focusing on tourism, within the central fabric surrounding the holy shrine. The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative interviews conducted between 1401-1402 with 28 managers of facilitation offices. Findings highlight critical factors contributing to operational pathology, including the knowledge of urban regeneration experts and related entities (coefficient of importance = 0.184), urban management's perspective on tourism (coefficient = 0.110), financial resource inadequacies within regeneration organizations (coefficient = 0.099), expertise deficiencies among regeneration experts (coefficient = 0.095), reluctance to collaborate with other entities (coefficient = 0.086), and weaknesses in the evaluation system of regeneration organizations. These results prioritize key areas requiring intervention for enhancing the performance of neighborhood development offices in the vicinity of the holy shrine. Manuscript profile

  The sustainable development of historical contexts means the development that takes advantage of preserving and improving urban historical contexts with the aim of preserving cultural identity, historical values, and natural resources.This article has tried to identify and cluster the driving forces affecting the future state of sustainable development of Mohibe Beryank, district 10 of Tehran metropolis, using the method of structural analysis. This article is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. Theoretical data was prepared by document method and experimental data by survey method based on Delphi technique. The statistical population is 30 experts and specialists based on judgmental or purposeful sampling and the drivers studied are 40 driving forces in 4 dimensions, which are processed by structural interaction analysis method in MICMAC software. The findings of this research showed that the general pattern of the study's drivers dispersion in terms of mutual effects analysis, in general, indicates the situation of an unstable environmental system in which the drivers of development are complex and It has intermediates. The state of clustering of thrusters is indicative of cluster concentration in dual thrusters. Among the 40 driving forces, 10 driving forces have more key effects in affecting the future state of sustainable development of Haft Chenar Beryank neighborhood in District 10, which include having a job and adequate income, the existence of various job opportunities in the city, strengthening the sense of belonging to a place, strengthening public trust between citizens, increasing optimal density in the fabric, access to recreational and leisure spaces, creating active public spaces, democracy and citizen participation, improving public transportation and considering construction design considerations.strengthening public trust between citizens, increasing optimal density in the fabric, access to recreational and leisure spaces, creating active public spaces, democracy and citizen participation, improving public transportation and considering construction design considerations.

  The aim of this research is to identify visual characteristics in the motifs of three selected fronts of Foroozesh Street, Molavi Street and Vakil Al-Tajjar Street in the historical context of Tehran, which has been less studied. The reason for choosing these three heads among similar cases was the capacity to analyze their motifs from the perspective of Daniel Chandler's codes. This research is qualitative and based on data obtained from library information and observation of case examples that describes and analyzes motifs based on Daniel Chandler's semiotic opinions. The results of the analysis are as follows: From the point of view of social codes, it shows the integrated style of cultural exchange between the rulers of Qajar and the West. From the point of view of the textual ciphers, brickwork, tilework motifs are explained in the visual text of Islamic elements, Khatai, birds and written verses. In interpretative codes of visual elements, it explains the royal authority as well as the importance of living in the shadow of faith in the One Lord and the fruits of faith of a Muslim person. Perceptual codes are interpreted based on the similarity of the elements in the motifs of the three heads. Finally, from codes of perception, it shows the orientation of the leader's and the audience's thinking about the natural elements of the garden in a symbolic and abstract way. Manuscript profile
