  Rasht, as the center of Gilan province, has the highest number of food industries and since these industries in the northern part of the country, especially Gilan are the most dominant existing ones, it seemed necessary to study management conditions of the food industries’ residuals through observation and filling in topic questionnaires in 40 active industrial units in Rasht.   As the first step in this research, the food industries of the city were identified and classified based on their products. Then, active units were specified and their residuals’ management status was studied. Next, obtained data were analyzed using statistical softwares such as SPSS and other softwares were used for drawing relevant tables and diagrams. To study the quality of residuals and their compositions in each food industry group, the temporary storage places were surveyed and through filling in the questionnaires by those in charge the physical analysis of the residuals and the production levels were reviewed the results of which are as follows: Studies showed that the majority of food industries in Rasht did not pay close attention to environmental aspects, particularly the management of their residuals; they did not observe environmental regulations; they considered the cooperation of environment experts costly and problematic and often would not take any measure to analyze their residuals. It is noteworthy that among all food industries of the city only one of them was selected as the “Green Industry”. It was also found that bread, biscuit and drinks producing groups had the highest level of industrial wastes while bread, biscuit and drinks producing groups showed the highest level of domestic wastes. About 63% of the wastes from industrial residuals were recyclable; however only were practically recycled. The most frequent waste disposal methods exercised by the industries were selling (45.6%) and hygienic burying (32%). In addition, some industries burned a part (4.3%) of their wastes in a nonstandard way. The common way of keeping wastes until disposal was open stores in the factory that in itself could cause pollution. The major source of industrial wastes in food industries could be said to be from products (24.32%) and then those of packaging (20.58%). Moreover, the time periods of waste disposal in 48.2% of industries were case disposals and 15.4% of them were reported on a daily basis.   Manuscript profile

  Rasht county, has been experiencing unique circumstances compared to its surrounding cities and have had a growing tendency to centralization, since the beginning of its formation. Formation of one-sided relationship and orientation of most of the vital and functional movements of the cities of the province toward the city of Rasht have led to seclusion and inactivity in other settlement points of the province. It seems that with the expansion of activities in the city of Rasht, this problem will be expanded. This study investigates the fields of centralization in the city of Rasht in three areas: administrative-political centralization, economic-service centralization, and centralization of the population. During explaining the most important symbols and instances of centralizations in mentioned areas, to reduce the centralization in the city of Rasht, orient the movements to the other points and consequently balance the movements and interactions, we use the new model Regional Development Strategy (RDS). Regional development strategy with its strategic, community-based and flexible thinking is very effective in the establishment of regional balance since this model attempts to exploit the capabilities, capacities, actions and cooperation of all the regions and organize them as well as possible.

  Smart growth is a comprehensive strategy covering various aspects of urban development, and scenario planning attempts to focus on alternative futures using quantitative and qualitative categories. In this regard, the first and most critical step is to determine the key drivers, based on which the changes can be made to attain the goals. The present study is aimed at identifying the key effective factors for the spatial development of Rasht in the framework of smart urban growth pattern. The research method has a descriptive-analytical nature. The required data and information were gathered using both library and survey research methods, as well as the Delphi method. The interaction effects analysis of variables and MICMAC software were used to analyze the data. The results demonstrated that 55 factors are effective in the future development trend of Rasht based on smart growth, which are classified as three dimensions of use, traffic, and density. More than 62% of the factors affected each other. The dispersion plane of factors effective in the future of spatial development in Rasht based on smart growth indicated instability in the system. The results of matrix analyses and evaluation of effectiveness and susceptibility plan of the factors using direct and indirect methods determined 14 factors with the most substantial roles in the future spatial development of Rasht in the framework of smart growth pattern.

  Parking is one of the most important urban infrastructures that have a major role in reducing Marginal Park and trafficflow.Nowadays in the megacities due to land and space constraints with creation public parkingapply optimal management to increase services of large content of vehicles,Public parking when can be sufficiently aware effective that have optimal geospatial site selection. Now, Rasht city and transport network its, is encountered with main problem the lack of parking for residential users and other usersand perform the work, regardless of the land use has caused that this problem will occur slowly as a urban problems.This problem in crowded places,that urban multi land use, especially have administrative - business and leisure land usemanifests itself in the form of a serious.since Rasht haven't highway network.in addition to the regional transit it is open to shipping through other parts of the province and non-optimal positioning of the existing parking is on of the main problems in the city.In this study, for optimal site selection of public parkingfor greater efficiency the study area.Initially, was preliminary study to identify influencing factors for optimal Parking site selection, Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)Weighting factors were takenand Finally, using a geographic information system (GIS)were proposed appropriate zones for the construction of public parking.
