        Today, one of the major destabilizing urban challenges is a type of urbanization with acute problems of informal settlement or marginalization. One of the most obvious manifestations of the rapid growth of urbanization is the formation of informal settlements in many developing countries, including Iran, which has become a symbol of urban poverty. This research has been carried out in order to investigate the indicators and dimensions of social consequences caused by the growth of informal settlements in eslamshahr and to provide a model to control and solve them. This research is practical in terms of targeting and in terms of descriptive-analytical method. In order to collect data and information, two methods of library-documents and field method of survey have been used. The statistical population of the current research includes experts and active managers in the field of urban management in eslamshahr. The findings indicated that the growth of informal settlements has a direct, positive and significant effect on the social consequences caused by the growth of informal settlements. Also, since the correlation coefficient (standard coefficient) between the two variables is equal to 0.75, it can be concluded that the growth of informal settlements has a direct, positive and significant effect on the social consequences caused by the growth of informal settlements, and the intensity of this effect 0.75). Based on the focal correlation results, the index of economic issues with a %35 influence on the total of other variables has been ranked first. In addition, based on the analysis, the highest degree of correlation in the indicators can be seen between health issues and welfare facilities and leisure time in the informal settlements of eslamshahr Manuscript profile

        The social pathology of urban neighborhoods is very important in the sustainability of the city. This research studies the sustainable pathology of urban neighborhoods in Region 1 of Tehran city with an emphasis on social harms. The main objective of the social pathology and its spatial distribution at the neighborhoods level is to plan and manage how to control and reduce the social harms and make sustainable neighborhood development. Employing an exploratory analysis method, the present study is an applied research. The data has been collected through documentary and field studies. For analyzing the data, Super Decisions software and various tools have been used in Geographical Information System (GIS). The study area is the neighborhoods of Region 1 of Tehran municipality and the level of analysis is its 26 neighborhoods. The statistical sample consists of 30 experts in the field of urban planning and engineering, and 372 inhabitants of the 26 neighborhoods. These participants have been selected using Cochran Formula and random sampling. The findings of the study show that the neighborhoods of Region 1 of Tehran municipality are encountering growing social harms. Common social harms in this region are ​​divorce, runaway girls, beggary, drug addiction, and seasonal workers. In terms of spatial distribution, mostly squares are densely populated, e.g., Tajrish Square. Among the 26 existing neighborhoods, Evin (rank 1), Zafarranieh (rank 2), and Imamzadeh Qasem (rank 3) Neighborhoods have respectively the most amounts of social harms while Araj, Hekmat, Deszashib, and Mahmoudieh Neighborhoods have the least amount of social harms. Any appropriate social interventions and supportive measures require comprehensive studies and studies on opportunities and threats, the strengths and weaknesses, the nature and causes of injuries and social issues at a smaller level, namely, neighborhoods. According to the results of this study, effective preventive measures can be taken to improve the planning and optimal management of the city of Tehran in the municipality of Tehran, with the full knowledge of the existing damage and its type, and by achieving appropriate strategies to reduce the damage to the neighborhood system. In the area of ​​a Tehran municipality, in order to help improve urban planning and management through the identification and elimination of existing damage, it is possible to develop and improve these areas of the region in terms of the quality of life of citizens and minimize the damage.  In terms of the indices of urban development infrastructures and facilities, significant differences are also observed between the neighborhoods of this region using Fuzzy Method, e.g., Tajrish Neighborhood has the first rank in sustainable development due to the availability of facilities and access to offices and industries and several other development indices. Bagh-e-Ferdows Neighborhood has the second rank, while Golab Darre and Mahallati Neighborhoods are at the bottom of this ranking. According to the results of this study, it is possible to improve the planning and optimal urban management in a Tehran municipality region with full knowledge of existing damage and their type. They have taken effective preventive measures and appropriate. Manuscript profile

        Declined urban neighborhoods are those parts of cities that failed to establish a balanced economic, social, and functional relationship with the rest of the city during the industrialization and urban development process. Indicators of urban poverty and deteriorated quality of life are visible in such neighborhoods. Actually these declined areas do not have the ability to compete or exchange economic, social or cultural benefits with other part of cities and other urban areas without government support. Social sustainability is a manifestation of sustainable development, which in recent years has gained increased recognition as a fundamental component of sustainable development, beginning to receive political and institutional endorsement within the sustainable development agenda, and the sustainable urban regeneration discourse.Moreover, regeneration is considered as one of the most significant, most effective approaches to improve and renovate urban neighborhoods. Urban regeneration tackles "quality of life" issues in communities through working to narrow the gap between the most disadvantaged neighborhoods and the rest of society. In this policy debate often an area­based approach, integrating horizontal policies, with sustainable perspectives, collaborative inhabitants, is advocated.    The aim of this analytical review is to establish the dimensions and components of urban community regeneration, its substantial principles, and supporting policies with an eye on social sustainability, and its conceptual framework. In line with its goals, this policy study is a library and document research involving content analysis of theoretical texts. Furthermore, drawing on the Delphi method and based on a conceptual model, an analysis concerned with community regeneration was carried out assuming a social sustainability approach.Also, the opinion of experts rating 4 aspects and 21 factors derived from theoretical principles were used to finalize the community regeneration model.The findings are suggesting that the principles extracted from an initial literature review comprised social participation, social capital, social composition, social coherence, sustainable policy (governance), welfare and quality of life, the environment, services and housing, preserving the identity and cultural heritage, security and wellbeing, being community-based, and equal access (to housing, services, open spaces, jobs, resources, etc.) can be classified into four groups (sustainable environment and space, sustainable community, sustainable economy, and governance). Of the 21 factors identified through the literature review, and according to the experts’ opinions, the sense of belonging, sustainable transportation, and information systems are the essential criteria, whereas the remaining ones except resilience received an acceptable score in the hierarchy of the criteria. Based on the nine principles extracted in this study, a conceptual model was presented in whose aspects the factors feature a significant order. At the conclusion this article presented, 32 supporting policies which can be used in the process of neighborhood regeneration in order to improve social sustainability. Concurrent attention to these strategies as a balanced set of issues is important. Because the fulfillment of each policy without considering the others will complicate the situation of the declined neighborhood and its local community. Moreover involvement of local communities during the process, is the key success point of the neighborhood regeneration programs. Manuscript profile

        6 - Exploring the Impact of the Structural Pattern of Residential Areas (Villas and Apartments) on (Face-to-Face) Neighborly Interactions in Neighborhoods (Case study: Naft sector, New site, Zaytoun karmandin and kianpars in Ahvaz City)

        One of the prominent features of cities in developing countries is that the rate of urbanization is increasing rapidly and the desire of people to live in cities is increasing, which is the expansion of urbanization, the increase in the population density of cities and the resulting tensions. It has caused urban spaces and citizens to face many problems. According to Hamadi, choosing a house in the cities has caused many changes in social relations and people's daily life. These simple transformations in the urban territory have caused a change in the lifestyle and behavioral pattern of the residents of the urban areas and especially the network of social and neighborhood relations. Neighborhood relations can be defined as a subset of social relations that are created between two or more families together, and these relations are a part of the quality of life that met many needs in pre-modern conditions. Even now, there is often such a feeling in cities and neighborhoods that have deep and extensive neighborly relations. Who we live with is socially and culturally important because it affects our quality of life. Human beings are inherently social creatures, driven by the innate desire to engage with a diverse range of individuals and actively participate within their communities. Neighborhoods and neighborhood units are a reflection of this approach. These neighborhood units, established with the objective of fostering a sense of community and enhancing social connections, assume a paramount significance in cultivating and refining this indispensable attribute. The neighborhood and the interaction of neighbors in the neighborhood have been one of the most fundamental concepts in architecture and urban planning for a long time. The lack of neighborhood interactions and the change in lifestyle and behavioral patterns of residents in cities have established the basic structure of this research. This research aims to examine the relationship between the physical structure or framework of the neighborhood and the amount of face-to-face interactions in the neighborhood. The existing research is descriptive-analytical and quantitative-qualitative in terms of its applied purpose, nature, and data collection methods, and a correlational research method has been used. Data collection was done through library research and field methods (questionnaires). According to Morgan's table, questionnaires were distributed among 394 people in four neighborhoods of Ahvaz city (Shahrek Naft, Newsite, Zeitoun Karmanani, Kianpars), which were presented in closed form and Likert scale. The data collected for this study was analyzed using SPSS software. To measure the adequacy of the sample, KMO and Bartlett tests were employed. The findings were also examined using statistical methods such as Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient, variance test, and Pearson test. The results of the variance test indicate a significance level of 0.001, suggesting a significant difference between the questionnaire findings in villa neighborhoods (New Site, Shahrak Naft) and apartment neighborhoods (Zeitoun Karmandi and Kianpars). A Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.586 indicates that there is a direct relationship between two variables. Specifically, the face-to-face relationships increase in villa neighborhoods, while they decrease in apartment areas. Manuscript profile

        7 - Evaluation of environmental and non-environmental components affecting social resilience in residential neighborhoods (Case study: selected neighborhoods of Babol)

        Social resilience refers to the ability of individuals to adapt to changes and represents the community's capacity to respond to crises. The location plays a significant role in the occurrence of social events, thus establishing a close relationship between social resilience and location characteristics. By properly designing spatial and environmental components, social elements can be supported in the process of community resilience. A resilient and resistant city is one where residents actively participate in decision-making processes alongside city managers and municipalities, based on their capacities and resources. It is a city that has identified its hazards and implemented appropriate planning and measures to safeguard and support people's lives, properties, cultural heritage, and social capital. Understanding the factors that influence city resilience not only preserves human life but also reduces community costs during emergencies and crises. In other words, a deeper understanding of resilience is crucial for creating sustainable and safe environments.The present study aims to explain the influential factors on social resilience in residential neighborhoods and evaluate its quality in three neighborhoods in Babol. In the first step of the research, we explored the influential factors on social resilience by reviewing the theories and perspectives of various theorists. This phase led to the identification of 11 main components and 31 sub-components. These influential factors were then divided into two groups: environmental and non-environmental components, based on their origins and impact. This approach, which distinguishes our study from previous ones, provides a clear understanding of the different dimensions that contribute to neighborhood resilience. Furthermore, the environmental components were further categorized into three groups: physical, perceptual, and social environments, in line with the theory of resilient places. While social resilience is a broad concept that encompasses various domains, this categorization helps architects and urban planners understand where to focus their efforts and highlights the complexity of the relationship between different components. Subsequently, based on these components, a questionnaire prepared that was distributed in three neighborhoods in Babol: Shahab Nia, Borj Bon and Pir Alam. collected data from 384 complete questionnaires, analyzed using exploratory factor analysis, one-sample t-tests, and analysis of variance. The results of the analyses confirm the influence of all components. Based on the results of analysis, the impact of each component on overall social resilience was determined. The results indicate that among the environmental components, "attachment to place," "sense of security," and "social interactions" had the highest specific values of 3.196, 2.952, and 2.937, respectively. Among the non-environmental components, "awareness and knowledge" had the highest impact with a specific value of 1.949 in the studied neighborhoods. Furthermore, the analyses suggest that the level of social resilience in the Borjban and Piralam neighborhoods is relatively desirable, while it is undesirable in the Shahabnia neighborhood. However, it is also evident that there is a need to improve the physical-social quality in the first two neighborhoods. This means that through the evaluation conducted, it is possible to identify the components that require improvement more clearly and emphasize the consolidation of desirable component conditions.

        AbstractReligiosity is a fundamental factor in socialization and intellectual, practical and orientation in solving problems and phenomena and social issues and therefore is a factor in improving the work conscience of individuals. Considering the importance of discussing work conscience, the present study seeks to answer the main question of whether there is a difference between religiosity and work conscience of neighborhood councilors by using field method, survey technique, questionnaire tools and using SPSS and Smart PLS software. Is there a connection in Tehran? The statistical population of the present study is the councilors of neighborhoods in Tehran, whose number according to the latest statistics is about 3500 people. The results indicate that between the total amount of religiosity (0.33) and its dimensions, ie consequential dimension (P = 0.22), ritual dimension (P = 0.39), doctrinal dimension (P = 0.36), Experimental dimension (P = 0.25) and emotional dimension (P = 0.34) have a positive, direct and significant relationship with the work conscience of Tehran councilors. Therefore, all research hypotheses are confirmed. The results of the Smart PLS structural equation model also showed that the total effect of the independent variable of religiosity on the work conscience of Tehran councilors is 0.52.Keywords: work conscience, religiosity, councilors, neighborhoods of Tehran.

        Introduction and Purpose: The center of historical and ancient neighborhoods has specific identity and physical characteristics. But, due to the development of the cities and increase in population and changes in the urban context, numerous traffic problems and congestion and noise, and environmental pollution have been created. This study investigates the extent of people's social connections in the historical context and center of urban neighborhoods. In this regard, the theoretical foundation of Travis Hirsch has been considered as the framework of the research, and the extent of social connections of individuals in Ardebil neighborhood center and its relationship with people's residence have also been studied. Method: To measure social connections in neighborhoods, the researcher-made questionnaire technique for 398 residents of historical neighborhoods and new settlements, and components such as neighborhood attachment, neighborhood commitment, neighborhood social participation, and belief in neighborhood values were used. In the analysis, using Pearson's correlation method, the relationship between components and its impact on the level of consensus of individuals in neighborhoods were studied and using multivariate analysis of variance, neighborhoods were compared. Findings: Results showed that there was a significant relationship between attachment components, social interactions, commitment to neighborhood values and beliefs; and the attachment component has a higher impact on the amount of social bonds people have with urban spaces, especially neighborhood centers than other neighborhoods. In comparing the relationship, there were significant relationships among the location and the attachment components and commitment and social interactions; and belief component had no significant relationship with the individuals' residence. Given that there was a high degree of satisfaction with the new settlements compared to the historical context, it is necessary to pay more attention to historical contexts.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The unbridled expansion of cities during the recent decades has gradually led to the decline of their climatic comfort. One of the objectives of this study is to analyze the spatial geometry and structural-spatial patterns of traditional neighborhoods in the cold and dry climate to use the results for optimization of new residential fabrics. This study also aims to investigate the role, plantation pattern and species of the plants in the green spaces of old neighborhoods.Material and Methodology: First the factors that affect climatic comfort were identified by examining expert viewpoints. Then, Ecotect Autodesk software was used to simulate the conditions and analyze the data in three traditional neighborhoods of Hamedan City.Findings: certain measures are required in linear neighborhoods to increase their exposure to sunlight during the cold seasons because they have more shading compared to centrifugal neighborhoods during the cold periods of the year.Discussion and Conclusions: using centrifugal models can help optimize these spaces and improve climatic conditions in them. In addition to preventing the prevailing cold winds from blowing into the neighborhoods from the surrounding environments, the old trees at the center of the neighborhoods selected in this study improve coolness and climatic comfort in these spaces, especially during the hot seasons of the year.

        Cities have emerged as the center of change and where policies are implemented. In this regard the final document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development states with the title of the future we want; if cities are planned and developed as well, they can make it happen the Sustainable economic, social and environmental communities. This organization introduced a model In the name of the Prosperity city to realize the happiness of cities. This can draw the vision of comprehensive development for cities by analyzing the current situation and prioritizing planning interventions. In this research that has been done with the goal evaluation of Prosperity indicators in the neighborhoods of Saqez city; Effective indicators have been identified in the Prosperity of Saqqez neighborhoods Using MicMac software and then these key factors were graded using the copras model at the level of 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city and GIS is used for visual expression. In this study, 49 indicators have been used in five dimensions in order evaluation of Prosperity indicators. 14 key indicators are known using MiceMac software.‌ Research results show that according to the Prosperity indicators of 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city; neighborhoods 16, 19, 4, 11, 10 have little effect which are located in the southeast of the center and west of the city and neighborhoods 22, 21, 9, 2, 20.1 are in a better position to achieve prosperity which are located in the southeast, center and north of the city. Must be said spatial improvement and proper distribution of revenues, Greater cohesion and participation, the possibility of access to neighborhoods with low impact on parks and educational services and better distribution of indicators, especially indicators of productivity and quality of life are the most important proposals at the neighborhood level.Extended AbstractIntroduction:     Due to the existing competitive environment and the development of new technologies in the age of globalization, UN-Habitat has taken a new approach in the field of urban development; a holistic and integrated approach to promote welfare and play a public role. This new approach helps cities in better management of the future of the city in the economic, political, social and environmental fields. This approach is called urban prosperity. Prosperity means success, wealth, progress, health or felicity. Urban prosperity creates a sense of individual and public social and economic security for the present and future of cities and it is realized of other immaterial needs and desires and the indicators of urban prosperity are complex and it's a multifaceted issue and understanding these complexities, accessibility indicators, valuation and measurement are important. The spatial structure of a city consists of components and elements and is with each other in interaction and each of these components will be affected on the whole structure. These indicators of urban prosperity are expressed as an urban prosperity cycle; includes: productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, social dimensions and environmental sustainability. In recent decades, Iranian cities encountered with rapid and unstable development and this does not end with urban development and there is a lot of problem, these problems are significant in cities. In the meantime, a multifaceted look and tool must be considered to address urban issues and challenges to guide cities towards real development to achieve this, the CPI is effective. The Urban Prosperity Index was introduced through the UN-Habitat Program and in Iran in the year 2016, it coincided with the start of the city council elections; the approaches of each study must change in accordance with the characteristics of the defined society and be localized. Optimal results can be one of three modes; Intermediate, critical, desirable which is done according to the situation of cities in the future. Optimal condition is required to vision and planning.Methodology:      The research method is descriptive-analytical by nature and is done with a functional purpose. In this research, first, it was dealt with a systematic and structural view Review of theoretical literature on urban prosperity then effective indicators and variables were extracted in urban flourishing in five dimensions (Productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, equality and social participation and environmental sustainability), it has been done based on theoretical foundations and using the Delphi method. In the second stage Indicators were analyzed In the MicMac software environment and was scored using the interaction technique (structural analysis method) finally, key factors were extracted in urban prosperity and in the next step leveling in the neighborhoods of Saqez city using the Copras Model. Finally, some suggestions were made.Results and discussion:              In this research, 49 indicators of urban prosperity have been measured in 5 dimensions and in Mikomak environment the results indicate,14 key indicators are important; Including creative forces, specialization, life expectancy, unemployment, production, participation, existence of universities, educational services, mortality, industry, mobile services, transportation costs which are known as controlling and influential forces on the open system. The assessment shows this on how to distribute the key factors of urban prosperity in 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city with the Copras Modelm, There has been a huge difference in terms of indicators at the neighborhood level so that neighborhoods 16, 19, 4, 11, 10 were among the neighborhoods with low impact.These neighborhoods are unsuitable neighborhoods in terms of productivity index which are located in the southeast, west and center of the city in these neighborhoods, working conditions have been low due to the greater instability in the dimensions of employment and income, which will be much less depending on the amount of financial support and predict when to get a new job and so on has made more attention. Essential to the mentioned neighborhoods these neighborhoods are unsuitable in terms of infrastructure index and the importance of access is essential to parks and spaces and it can be said that these neighborhoods are in a lower degree in terms of social participation they are located in relation to other neighborhoods. It is necessary to pay attention to these sub-indicators in order to provide prosperity in the area of these neighborhoods, to identify the key issues and problems of these neighborhoods finally, take an appropriate intervention approach. These neighborhoods are at a low level with high population density and incompatible uses and educational services. In these neighborhoods, residents' access to educational centers has faced problems due to the small width of the passages and the instability of the cross section and permeability. The process of proper access to these centers should be on the agenda especially in neighborhoods 16 and 19 and with the support of the public and government sectors and it should be noted that The revitalization process should not lead to the loss of the identity of these neighborhoods. Intervention in these neighborhoods must be maintained structural values and physical properties as well as nature No building materials have been used in these neighborhoods Complies with standards and do not have the necessary retrofitting facilities. This is the instability of buildings and structures a great threat to the lives of the residents of these neighborhoods and increase mortality in the face of natural disasters and it changes the life expectancy of the residents and neighborhoods 22, 21, 9, 2, 20, 1 are in the first ranks in order to achieve the prosperity of Saqez neighborhoods.Conclusion:      The result of the research showed that Productivity and quality of life indicators have higher scores and infrastructure, social, and sustainability indicators have the lowest scores among the indicators of urban prosperity which can be a great guide for urban management.

        This study seeks to determine which factors exacerbate the fear of crime and what components can limit or completely neglect this problem. This is a survey method that compares crime fears and their individual and neighborhood factors among Ahwaz neighborhoods. The data were collected from a sample of 4 residents of different areas of Ahwaz city using a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed that despite the different effects of the studied variables among different neighborhoods, among individual variables, gender had a significant relationship with fear of crime and women reported more fear of crime than men, And this was also the case for non-Arab ethnicity living in these areas. Other individual variables (age, education, income, and home ownership) had no significant relationship with fear of crime. On the other hand, neighborhood-related variables, including inattention, neighborhood attachment, neighborhood quality, and neighborhood crime perception were significantly associated with crime fear. In the multivariate regression, only the inferior variable entered the model and was able to explain 21% of the dependent variable changes. As in the findings of this study, witnessing vulgarism is one of the important factors in fear of crime. Thus, it seems that the satisfaction of the neighborhood decreases the fear of crime. Among the neighborhood related variables, neighborhood characteristics, sense of belonging to it, the view of people toward Police, and understanding of crime and vulgarism were reported to be meaningfully related to the fear of crime at all and worriment of crime against belongings and persons (not the sense of security). The point of view toward neighborhood and ownership of the home, did not show to have meaningful relationship with the fear of crime. Manuscript profile

        Heidarian and Nematian are religious group with Suffi tendency which stablished in Iran during 8th and 9th century. These two groups were been in dispute with each other because of religious-political reasons, hence all of big cities in Iran ( in Safavi and Qajar era) were divided into two Heidari and Nemati poles and there were always struggles and wars between these two poles. Despite these struggles, sometime they united with each othe. For example in Tabriz in Mashroote period they put aside their disputes and fought against inbound dictatorship and colonization. So the most intense disputes used to happen in religion related days specially Ashoura. In these days  each of these groups had their own specific slogan and poems. For example Heidarian group used to use sentence of “Heidar,Safdar,Ali” and Nemati group used to use sentnse of “Mohammad is he and Ali” for salutation to Prophet`s family. In Tabriz Neighborhoods, disputes between Heidari and Nemati groups during Qajar era were less than Safavi era. The reason probably was Russo-Persian Wars which made unity between groups. But disputes were existed in Ardebil, Shoushtar, Shiraz and …. Manuscript profile

        Citizenship participation leads to the prosperity of individual capacities and improving the performance of city managers and, consequently, sustainability. Hence, today, urban planners and policymakers consider the maximum attraction of citizenship participation as one of the sustainable strategies. The present study uses descriptive-analytic method to study the effective factors on citizen participation and the relationship between the amount of participation of citizens with stability in Evin and Zaferanie neighborhoods. In this research, sampling was performed using the Cochran formula and the sample population based on it. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using independent t-test and Pearson test and regression tests. The results of the research indicate that the level of citizenship participation at the neighborhood level has a significant difference. In other words, the level of citizenship participation in different aspects of the Evin neighborhood is more favorable than the Zaferanieh district. As a result of this situation and given the relation of the level of participation and sustainability of the neighborhood, Evin neighborhood is in a more favorable position than the Zafarrani neighborhood in terms of sustainability indicators. Finally, with respect to the multivariate regression test, it was determined that the factors affecting citizen participation are, respectively, institutional placement, social empowerment, decent city governance, the formation of local government and spatial justice.

        Abstract Walking and enhancing walkability in the neighborhood areas may lead to increase security and social relations, accesses, neighborhood identity, the sense of community, neighborhood quality and to reduce environmental quality such as noise and air pollution.This study was to answer the question thathow the walking capability is in the city of Rasht in Guilan. In terms of practical goal, descriptive_ analytical essence, and data collection the current study is on the basis of library research and field work.For this purpose, first walking capability indicators of old and new communities were investigated. Each was compared by standard rules then optimal strategies to improve the walkability of aforementioned areas were presented. Residents of 5 new and 5 old neighborhoods that have a population of 124382 thousands were selected as a statistical society. By using Cochran formula a sample of 366 residents out of population were reselected. In this regard, because of the proximity of the number of new (61722 people) and old communities (62660 people), 183 questionnaires in new and 183 questionnaire in old neighborhoods were completed. In order to understand the gap between studied indices of residents of new and old neighborhoods, due to the nature of interval data, an independent T-Test was used. T-Test results determine that in many of the components between the two communities (respondents) there is a significant difference. In general it can be claimed that according to the field studies, as well as respondents new neighborhood in most cases than the old ones have better conditions in terms of walking capability.

        Sustainable urban development, as the most important matter of today urban planning, is on the principle that a city space is formed in the neighborhood and continues on its base; so neighborhood development is considered as the key action to achieve sustainable development. In this way, assessment of the sustainability is considered as an effective step towards achieving urban sustainability with the use of various indicators in urban neighborhoods. The purpose of this study is assessment and comparative analysis of ‌sustainability in old and new neighborhoods in Kerman, and it is a combination of remained neighborhoods of the previous periods and new urban developments, due to its historical development. Meanwhile each of these two neighborhoods, based on their conditions and characteristics, represent the degree of adaptation with principles of sustainable development. The descriptive-analytical method is used in this research and the results of this research are practical-developmental. In this study, five dimensions of sustainability were evaluated in 49 indicators, after reviewing the literature and exploratory studies in Kerman areas, including environmental, physical- spatial, socio-cultural, economic and institutional-political. After completing the questionnaire, methods and statistical techniques have been used to analyze the sustainability level, such as Pearson, single-sample T-test, K2 test, Regression analysis in Spss software, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results have shown that the most stable dimension is the economic one in both neighborhoods. In general, the sustainaability in the old and new urban neighborhoods in Kerman is lower than the average value and Malek Mosque (old urban neighborhood) is in a worse situation than Motahari (new urban neighborhood).

On the one hand, this inner development is related to providing urban housing and the necessity of preserving city proper lands and its surrounding area. Many urban lands are either non-utilized or have extra-urban land use (as prison, barracks, etc.). For some lands, building-residential density has not been implemented considering land value and existing installations and equipment. This has caused cities to expand in their suburbs in a discordant and indiscriminate manner. By restricting marginal expansion and implementing persuasive densification policies, the destruction of environment and farming lands in suburbs could be prevented; besides, the use of intra-city capacities will be optimized and maximized. Consequently, by leading infill physical expansion, steps could be taken to urban sustainable development. Based on available statistics, 67 thousand hectares of urban worn-out texture has been identified of which 258 hectares lie in Borojerd. Ignoring the infill development in cities of Iran is especially obvious in Borojerd. This study aims to assess the spatial capacity for infill development in abandoned and unused land in Borojerd. This is a descriptive- analytic survey. As the result of the study showed, by considering empty, unconstructed land inside Borojerd and by estimating receivable lands, the necessity of optimized use of empty, less utilized spaces as well as abandoned lands to provide houses and expand cities through in-fill development can be understood and preferred to sporadic urban expansion in uneven, gradient land with high preparation costs.

        Evaluation of the viability indicators can be used for comparing the status of different geographical areas of the city and prioritizing them in terms of facilities, services, and urban bottlenecks. The purpose of the present study is to prioritize the viability of Shahrekord districts and neighborhoods based on the role of urban management. The present study is descriptive and applied research. The population of the study consisted of 160000 inhabitants of Shahrekord. The research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of three sections: social, economic, and environmental with 85 items. The collected data were analyzed by Friedman test using the  SPSS22 and GIS software. The results indicated that most of the administrative and service centers are located in district 1 of the city and thus it is ranked first in terms of viability, while district 2 is in the second rank. Also, the ranking of different neighborhoods in the city of Shahrekord indicates that the neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city are far from the center and due to their heterogeneous population and suburbs, lack of suitable facilities and services ranks last as far as viability is concerned while downtown areas are in a better condition.

        The existence of numerous theories and studies about crime at the level of neighborhood, despite having positive points, suffers from certain kinds of reductionism and ambiguity. Many of these studies have focused on social, economic, cultural and environmental variables as the prime causes of crime, and have not systematically studied crime at the neighborhood level. Also, theories and studies that have tried to provide a more integrated model for crime analysis at the neighborhood level are still not well suited to combining different levels and dimensions. The purpose of this paper was to present a multidimensional and multilevel model emphasizing the causal factors and mechanisms for explaining crime at the neighborhood level. Without attempting to present a theory, this article tries to provide a comprehensive model for community-based crime studies by reviewing existing theories on social, cultural, economic and environmental dimensions and combining them. The article tries to increase the explanatory power of neighborhood and crime studies. The success rate of this goal is conditional on testing this model using data within and between neighborhoods and also on being criticized by researchers in this area. The model presented in this paper is a multidimensional and multilevel model in which it attempts to combine the external and internal characteristics of the neighborhood with the power of collective and individual actors to explain the crime.

        These days, the quality of people settlement is considered as one of the main research areas for spatial planning in different countries. This is due to the influence of current researches in quality of life-related topics in monitoring public policies as well as its role as a practical tool in urban planning. Hence, understanding, measuring and improving the quality of life have been the main goal of researchers, planners and governments in recent decades. Therefore, identification of effective factors in assessment and evaluation the quality of life can help planners to propose appropriate strategies to develop different areas and cities with their related needs and required facilities. In this regard, this research has been done by descriptive analytic methods which use FTOSIS (Fuzzy-Topsis) and questionnaire. The selected case study is Sanandaj city neighbourhoods including Nanle, Nayser, Molavi town and Farjeh. Sample community consists of 40 experts in urban planning (councils and urban experts) of Sanandaj city that has been selected by homogenous and target selection method. The result of this study showed that economic dimension has the lowest weight with 1.97 while environmental dimension with a weight of 2.251 has the highest one in minimum, mean and maximum fuzzy (W ̃i). indicators which have obtained the lowest weights should become into consideration for urban planners, policy makers and managers to improve the quality of life and social and economic boom.

        Social security is one of the important elements of the power of civil society and serves as a complement to the survival of natural and human capital in the urban spatial development process, which emphasizes networking, trust and relationships within the community as a major contributor to urban spatial development. It is considered as a key factor in the development of urban socio-spatial development. Through social empowerment, collective organization, voluntary contributions to solving collective or public problems contribute to the social well-being of the community. As social security decreases, the incidence of disease and social anomalies also increases . On the other hand, poverty also reduces social security and, consequently, social health in society. By contrast, the increase in social justice leads to a reduction in class inequality and, as a result, increased social security and increased social security through the establishment of norms for health and the control and monitoring of high-risk behaviors as well as by reducing chronic stress and its negative consequences Will have a great impact on people's health. Considering that extensive studies on social security in urban environments, especially marginalized areas and informal settlements, have been carried out, but little research has been conducted on the impact of public safety on the components of social health, especially in informal settlements. Hence, this research seeks to assess the impact of social security on the social health of inhabitants of informal urban settlements, Manuscript profile

        Urban prosperity was formally introduced in 2012 by the UN-Habitat Program. This concept includes six dimensions of productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, equity and social inclusion, environmental sustainability and governance and legislation. District 18 of Tehran municipality is faced with sprawl development, destruction and increase of environmental pollution, lack of attention to the urban renewal, decay texture, increased cost of services and expansion of informal settlement and poverty. Sadeghiyeh neighborhood has undergone social, cultural, economic and physical degradation in recent years. In this study, neighborhoods of this District were surveyed and ranked based on urban prosperity indices. In this research, library and documentary study was used to formulate the theoretical framework and to determine indicators, field observation was used to identify the status of objective indexes, and a questionnaire was used to identify the state of subjective indexes of urban prosperity. Numerical taxonomy model and ARC GIS, SPSS and EXCEL were used to analyze this data and information and final evaluation of the flourishing indices of these neighborhoods. The results of the research show that the study area has so far not enjoyed prosperous policies and programs and the establishment of spatial and service justice. In addition to preparing this plan, this damage necessitates a rethinking of the planning and executive measures of the area. One of the most important aspects of this review is the thematic and local comprehensiveness of the region's prosperity and districts and to attract inclusive participation of citizen from the policy-making stage to the implementation.

        Introduction: The centers and historical contexts of the cities have been exposed to the adverse effects of urban development more than other urban areas due to the new developments of urbanization and the resulting problems. Undoubtedly, the historical and ancient context is one of the most important challenges facing cities, especially in recent decades, and is a major concern for urban management. In Iran, these tissues have not been properly dealt with and the measures taken have not had a significant effect on their improvement. Research aim: The main purpose of this research is to analyze the status of regeneration indicators in the historical contexts of Rasht city. Methodology: The method of conducting this research is descriptive-analytical. Questionnaire technique was used to collect information. Studied Areas: Rasht conty, Giulan Porvince. Results: the average of total index in Rasht city was equal to 2.79, which indicates a close to average level. Also, the findings indicate that the status of the economic dimension with an average of 3.196 is better than the other three dimensions in the historical neighborhoods of Rasht city. The environmental dimension was ranked second with an average score of 2.808. Finally, the physical and social dimensions were ranked third and fourth respectively with average scores of 2.540 and 2.474. The results of the T-test showed that the situation of regeneration indicators in the historical neighborhoods of Rasht city is not suitable, and basic management and functional measures should be taken to improve this situation. The results of the survey for the neighborhoods showed that the "Historical Bazar neighborhood" which is known as the primary core of the city, has won the first rank among other ancient and historical neighborhoods in terms of regeneration dimensions. (0.7455). this neighborhood has the highest weight from the economic point of view. (0.2013). Also, Someeh Bijar neighborhood has the lowest rank among the studied neighborhoods in terms of regeneration dimensions. (0.3707) Conclusion: The historical neighborhoods of Rasht city do not have a suitable condition and it is necessary for the urban management to take steps in this direction through the preparation and compilation of special regeneration plans. The results of the research also show that in the special regeneration plans of each neighborhood, one should focus on the inner capacities and potentials of the neighborhoods and to prevent the presentation of uniform and similar patterns and designs.

        The purpose of the research: The main goal is to evaluate the role of spatial planning in strengthening the urban identity and it is followed by examining the relationship between the most important criteria of spatial planning as an independent variable and urban identity as a dependent variable.Research methodology: The current research has a descriptive-analytical method. First, 76 components were identified through content analysis, and then a questionnaire of experts was prepared using the Delphi method and went back and forth in three rounds. Finally, 21 components were left, which were used to prepare a questionnaire for citizens in historical and new neighborhoods. The evaluation of these components was distributed to 364 people in historical neighborhoods and 351 people in new neighborhoods with a questionnaire attached to five-point Likert scales. Data analysis was done using multiple regression model in SPSS software.The geographical scope of the research: the neighborhoods of Melkabad, Qazvin, as an example of the historical context, and Mulla Sadra, as an example of the new context, are the geographical scope of this research, which are respectively 23.5 and 51.5 hectares of area and 4156 and 7254 people. have a populationFindings and discussion: Among the identified components, 21 components (criteria) in five managerial, spatial-physical, economic, social-cultural and environmental groups were finally selected as independent variables. The dependent variable was also urban identity. For the research components, 21, 12, 16, 15 and 12 substandards were identified respectively. It was found that there is a direct relationship between the independent and dependent variables of the research. Also, in the new context, the relationship between physical planning and the sense of local identity and the relationship between socio-cultural planning and the sense of local identity is stronger than in the old context.Results: In the historical context, there are problems such as not paying attention to the physical, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions that play an essential role in urban identity. Spatial planning in the new neighborhoods, which was planned in advance, has not been able to create an urban identity, and the residents are facing social, identity and cultural problems. In order to improve the status of the identity of Qazvin neighborhoods, it is necessary to pay attention to the proposed solutions and proposals with the will of city managers and the participation of citizens.

        Traditional neighborhoods are part of a city that have lost their identity due to physical or functional weakness and cannot create a sense of belonging among their residents. The erosion of the residential fabric of these neighborhoods has affected the social and economic activities and has led to a sharp decrease in the quality of life and the quality of the environment. Since attachment to a place is a strong stimulus for maintaining and promoting communities and their related social capital, in order to create a sense of belonging to the residential context in these neighborhoods, it is necessary to pay attention to concepts such as human relationship with place, identity and sense of belonging. In this regard, the general purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between the components of architectural identity (symbols, decorations, patterns of the past) and attachment to place in Aghazaman neighborhood of Sanandaj city. In order to achieve this goal, the present research, using the descriptive-analytical method to collect information in the form of documents and survey, with the collection tool in the form of a questionnaire, first examined the correlation between the components of identity and attachment to the place and Then, it identifies the effective indicators in predicting the dependent variable (attachment to the place) which, using the statistical method of structural equations, the results of the research have shown that the direct effect of the identity components on the attachment to the neighborhood is equal to 0.15, the amount of variance It has been explained that the variable of attachment to the neighborhood through identity-forming components is equal to 0.89 and the Pearson correlation coefficient of identity-forming components to attachment to the place is equal to 0.456. The results of the research show that in relation to the index of identity building components, the most important influential factors are the use of past patterns, decorations and symbols, as well as in relation to the index of attachment to the neighborhood, staying in the neighborhood, social communication and participation in The neighborhood has been found as an influencing factor in Aghazaman neighborhood. Therefore, the findings of the research show the role of identity-building components in creating attachment to a place, and this result shows the value of using identity-building components in creating attachment to a place.

The statistical population was all residential properties located in this neighborhood, of which 50 homogeneous license plates were selected in terms of land area by non-random sampling method. Using fuzzy data envelopment analysis model, Network Fuzzy Range Adjusted Measure Data Envelopment Analysis, overall and partial efficiency was calculated and classified into three groups by using the K-means Clustring technique. Findings from Pearson correlation coefficient and F-test & test of significance (Two-tailed) of variance in SPSS software environment show that there is a direct and positive relationship between overall efficiency and part of residents in all financing methods with an average correlation coefficient of 0.834 with a significant level of 99%. It is more prominent in the process of improvement and modernization. The findings show a direct relationship between overall efficiency and governance with a mean correlation coefficient of 0.570. The results suggest that there is no significant relationship between residents' performance efficiency and governance, which indicates a lack of correlation in financing between government and people's interests.
