  Background: Qom is the eighth city of the country in terms of population and the second largest city in the country after Mashhad The centrality of admitting religious scholars and geographers As the north-south-east highway to the west, Transportation has become a major issue in the city.Target: Forecasting the development of the public transport system in Qom with the Interactive Impact Analysis.Method: With the logic of morphological analysis, a number of dimensions and indicators were identified as factors in the development of public transportation. By using the scenario wizard software, consistent scenarios from the combination of different indicators according to the experts of the transport deputies of Qom.Results: First consecutive scenario with compatibility level 46 as the most adapted scenario, including intersection design, resident population (welfare of citizens), safety (removal of accidental points), personal transportation management, the role of traffic police and the correct use of traffic lights and Driving was selected to manage traffic in Qom.

  The trend of population growth and development of cities in recent decades has led to the use of vehicles, both private and public. Meanwhile, public transportation has attracted a lot of attention due to its economic viability. Therefore, urban planning officials and municipalities try to solve problems such as; Environmental pollution, heavy traffic congestion, insecurity on some roads, severe accidents on some roads and excessive consumption of fuel suitable for vehicles (including oil - diesel and gasoline) are to consider appropriate measures. Data envelopment analysis with appropriate mathematical solutions can be an accurate and comprehensive tool to investigate such situations, so that managers can use it to make the best decision and remove existing barriers. Our goal in this article is to determine the efficiency, satisfaction and productivity (productivity in efficiency, productivity in satisfaction) of public vehicles, specifically 10 bus lines in Mashhad, so that their productivity in three consecutive years 91, 92 and 93 has been evaluated and the ratio of productivity in satisfaction to productivity in efficiency of each line has been calculated.

  Background and purpose: Scattering the urban diverse applications and their compression intensity in level and height (density) are the determinant how to meet the citizens' needs, because, for using the urban facilities they are inevitable to move toward these applications. Subway and B.R.T are two mass public transportation systems with less traffic interference which transfer people within the territory of a city and also impose more expenses to city than other transportation systems, for practicing their infrastructures. Since more intensity of applications leads to more effective transportation systems, in contrary, and more efficient transportation system leads to more residential and activities growth around this system, thus, these two entities must be studied, designed and exercised coordinated. Methods: Due to the existence of both transportation systems in Tehran, Tehran pars, region 8, this case study was done there, also, for more precise identification of the relation between public transportation system (subway and B.R.T.) and density of various applications and by virtue of  its location's nature, geographical information system and Arc GIS software were used. 153 urban blocks were analyzed statistically in this area by OLS in ARC GIS by the significance level of 0.05. In this analysis, each dependent variable, difference during implementation of the system and difference between eligible and inaccessible blocks to the system, the method is used in this study (Diff-Diff). Findings: The result shows the increase in annual rate of residential density, number of floors and population density under the impact of subway, includes 0.05%, 0.072 floor and 0.001 person per square meter, respectively,  also it shows the increase on the number of floors indicator by -0.05 floor within the  area of BRT stations. Discassion and Conclusion: Relation between subway and urban density is significant but relation between B.R.T and urban density is not significant. Manuscript profile

  5 - Assessment of Citizens Satisfaction with Urban Bus driving System (Case Study:Maragheh city )

  Today, buses are the most important means of public transportation in most citiesof our country, as well as in most developing countries. There is little investmentneeded to launch a bus; and it does not depend on a specific route compared to other mass transit systems. It can be developed and changed. It also has a lower level of urban space compared to other vehicles; it is a priority in terms of cost savings and urban bus traffic reduction for many vehicles. In this study, in order to evaluate the satisfaction of Maragheh citizens from the interurban bus system, 200 people were selected as sample in each region of the city. Data were analyzed by SPSS and Minitab software and data output through the test T single-sample and ANOVA tests, and these results were achieved; most users of urban buses are women, educated people, and people with an income of less than one million. In the first hypothesis, the data output was calculated through a single-sample Ttest, it was found that there are some satisfactions in such cases as: bus timing, time saving, security for women, reduced traffic, reduced pollution, etc. However, there is not enough satisfaction in such cases as: drivers' behavior, ticket costs, and the number of stations. In the second hypothesis, using ANOVA, it was found that there is a difference between the different regions of the city in terms of satisfaction with the intercity bus system. Manuscript profile

  The 20th century has focused on facilitating the movement of motor vehicles in planning transportation and traffic in cities. The purpose of the current research is to investigate the travel behavior of citizens and prepare a conceptual framework about travel behavior. The purpose of this research is to explain the model of the public transportation network based on the travel behavior of citizens, so this research is of a fundamental type and based on the theory derived from the data (foundational data theory) which is an inductive and exploratory research method. Is. The first information was collected through library documents, including the study of other researches, as well as existing theoretical frameworks and transportation network patterns in different cities and countries, field observations (questionnaires), semi-structured interviews, and note-taking. The statistical population of the research was 389 people, including 202 men and 187 women. The results indicate that men travel more frequently for work, entertainment and physical training than women. On the contrary, women make more shopping trips than men. With increasing age, older people choose walking as the main mode of travel, and fewer people choose bicycles or cars for travel. Also, factors such as access to public transportation (0.266), transportation demand management (0.195), bicycle and pedestrian conditions (0.123) have the greatest impact on the movement pattern of citizens.

  Public transportation system plays an important role in economic growth and urban development, including reducing transportation costs and increasing efficiency. To increase the share of public transportation systems in urban travel, measures need to be taken to improve their management and increase their efficiency. In this regard, the most important step in planning for this area is to revise or redefine the routes of the network lines. This process is known as a strategic step in managing long-term programs for the network. Given the growing trend of urbanization in large cities and the need for reliable and efficient public transportation, optimizing and improving the performance of public transportation networks is of great importance. Efficient planning and operation of transportation systems require accurate estimation of passenger waiting times. In this article, using a queuing system, simulation and optimization of urban public transportation system have been investigated with a case study of the Isfahan Bus Company in order to reduce waiting times at bus stops. In this study, first, the current performance of Isfahan's public transportation network was examined using simulation, and then by making changes to the network and various parameters, optimal solutions for reducing waiting times were proposed. The results of the simulation of Isfahan's bus transportation system show that significant improvements in the performance of the public transportation network can be achieved by making corrective changes to the structure and scheduling of the buses.
