  In recent decades, several approaches have been proposed regarding the formation of "quality of urban public spaces,« and various researches have been conducted in this field. However, what can be discerned so far is the lack of attention to the concept of integrative spatial quality and its holistic approach in the field of urban planning as "the basic elements of urban design.» This research explains the critical criteria of the process of forming an integrative spatial quality in urban public spaces. To achieve the purpose of the study, District 5 of Tehran Municipality, due to numerous public spaces in line with the research criteria of the article and the low age of construction, has been studied as a case study. Based on the theories, views, and researche identified in the framework of the mentioned purpose, five critical criteria are essential. The research method is analytical-descriptive. In reference to the contribution and role of this research, it can be emphasized that the foundation of integrative spatial quality in public spaces is only possible by simultaneous attention to allthe key Components: "physical,« "perceptual,» "social,« "environmental,» "functional."Thirty-three variables have considered further study and explanation of these five criteria regarding structural equations and validity and reliability. Thus, it is possible to design a 5-factor model in the field of measuring the quality of integrative spatial in public spaces, which at the same time is a fundamental step in developing a structural model at a higher level, the adequacy of this measurement model, due to various indicators, indicates that the model in question has an acceptable fit from the view of data coordination, including 220 samples with its factor structure. The main goal, part of which, by pursuing the question, "What criteria in the process of forming an integrative spatial quality in urban public spaces, what is their role and position?« is reflected in the present article. This research showed that the optimal quality of selected urban public spaces in this region was related to physical –aesthetic, and functional attributes. In addition, evaluation of this process, planning, and acting in order to enhance it should be considered accordingly based on this framework. Further specific studies on these factors and their effectiveness and relationships are issues that can be addressed in future research to clarify the theoretical findings. Every public space needs unique features; but based on the results, these suggestions are also presented to improve the quality of the urban area and its integration in the five districts of Tehran:The ability to access the communication structure of public spaces for the disabled and people with disabilitiesExecutive diversification of public spaces in accordance with seasonal changes, forming a network of connected public spaces that have interactive quality indicators and also invite individuals to establish sustainable social interactionMeaningful spaces and granting new uses such as restaurants, coffee shops, and more for the proper use of public spaces in the direction of dynamism, vitality, and prosperity.

  Among the current production management issues, the ability to handle the unexpected changes, survive the unexpected threats in the business market and suitable use of environmental fluctuation as an opportunity are the most challenges of the production organizations. This ability is agility. The first step to achieve the agility is to measure the current agility level of organization. As each organization has its own structure, culture, strategies, and goals, the agility differs from one organization to others. Furthermore, the required agility level differs from one organization to another regarding the competitive environment in which they compete. In this paper, a model presented in order to measure the agility level in Shiraz municipality waste management organization. Based on this goal, first through the comprehensive literature review, different agility model studied and relevant dimensions and components of agility measurement model extracted using the meta-synthesis method. The main criteria and the principal components of these models include Agility drivers, agility enablers, key capabilities, agility strategies, required agility level, agility goals, and results. Then all levels of the model (three levels) have been Finalized using Focus Group method and the agility measurement tools designed according to the third level of a model (Guide tips). Finally, the agility level of Shiraz municipal waste management organization measured and results show a moderate level of agility in this organization. Manuscript profile

  The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the cognitive emotion regulation questionn aire in university students.The data were collected from Islamic Azad University, Central Branch in Tehran in the form of cluster sampling. A sample including 360 individuals responded to the Persian version of cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to check the validity. In confirmatory factorial analysis of the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire using Amos 21, 10 questions were eliminated, culminating in a 26-item questionnaire with seven factors, confirming the theoretical background. The measurement model enjoyed a favorable fitting. Cronbach's alpha was used to check the reliability, which was obtained as 0.812for the 26-item questionnaire. Since the cognitive emotion regulation scale (26 items) enjoyed a good reliability and validity, thus it can be used in diagnostic and research areas Manuscript profile

  : The aim of this study was to evaluate relationship between the cognitive emotion regulation strategies with depression, anxiety, and stress in university students. Structural equations method was used for investigation of the relationships between the variables. The data were collected from Islamic Azad University, Central Branch in Tehran in the form of stage cluster sampling. A sample including 360 individuals responded to the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire, out of which 82 persons also responded to the depression anxiety stress scale (Dass .21), in addition to the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire. In confirmatory factorial analysis of the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire using Amos 21, 10 questions were eliminated, culmina- ting in a 26-item questionnaire with seven factors, which confirmed the theoretical background. The measurement model enjoyed a favorable fitting. The structural model among the variables (cognitive emotion regulation with Dass) had a suitable fitting. There was a negative significant relationship between the positive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation and the factors of Dass scale. Similarly, there was a positive significant relationship between the negative strategies of the cognitive emotion regulation and the factors of Dass Scale.    Manuscript profile
