        Introduction & Objective: The urban landscape is the totality of the mind, the interaction between man and the environment, and the mental image remains in the human mind. Urban landscape is a phenomenon that is revealed only through human experience in the interaction between man and the environment. Due to the importance of urban landscape, the purpose of this article is to analyze the visual-spatial quality of urban landscape over time in District 8 of Tehran. Method: This research is a content analysis that has been done by exploratory method. The data used by the municipality of the study area have been provided. In order to achieve the research indicators, first the spatial analysis indicators and then the visual quality indicators for District 8 of District 1 of Tehran have been studied. Indicators are recorded based on the assessment of the perceptual approach based on the observer's view (scenes and places) with the camera (on routes in the study area). Results: According to the obtained results, it can be noted that in each of the factors studied in the study area, one of the criteria in the form of the concept of time dimension, is more prominent. So that sometimes man-made factors dominate the environment more, and sometimes the natural factors of the environment with the presence of man-made factors have a more prominent presence in the environment. Conclusion: In the evaluation of the present study, the studied paths in visual quality, path number 2 is more important, which requires planning and codified design to be able to revive the identifying elements of the area. Depending on the spatial characteristics of the study area, consecutive and related views lead to the creation of many three-dimensional values. These consecutive views, by moving from one direction to another, create a strong emphasis and impression on the observer.   Manuscript profile

        The purpose of present article was to evaluate the physical- environmental dimensions of internal transportation network resilience and its relevance with sustainable environmental development in Tehran district one. The present research is functional in purpose and survey analytic in data collection form. The sample group are 100 expert and specialists of internal transportation management field of Tehran district one in purposeful sampling method, and 400 citizens living in ten regions of Tehran municipality district one during 2019 who were selected in stratified-ratio method through Cochran formula and participated in the study. The data collection process was done in library method through researcher made questionnaire. The factor analysis technique was used to define resilience dimensions, one sample t-test was utilized to determine the existing status and Friedman test was applied for ranking the dimensions. The obtained results revealed the dimensions of internal transportation network resilience in relevance with sustainable environmental development consisting of environmental sustainability, infrastructures and strengthening, urban texture, accessibility and regional lands usage. In addition, the results of one sample t-test demonstrated an average or low status of physical- environmental resilience of internal transportation network and its dimensions in the field of study in relation with sustainable environmental development. According to the received evidences of evaluating the existing status, through proper and efficient planning process, it would be possible to eliminate existing weaknesses of physical- environmental factors and increase its relevance with sustainable environmental development.

        The purpose of this study is to provide a model of a health-oriented city in the direction of livability in region one of Tehran. The purpose of this research is basic-applied research that on the one hand with documentary-library studies to study the dimensions, definitions and theoretical framework of the research and on the other hand with accurate field observations to collect the necessary data and information in the area. The case studies lead to research questions. After determining the dimensions and indicators of the research (in the form of dual dimensions), the data were analyzed using Lisrel software and factor analysis test; and for the final approval of the information model, we entered it in Smart PLS software and proceeded to confirm the model. The results of the analyzes showed that all relationships were confirmed with 99% confidence and none of the indicators had a factor load of less than 0.5 and the significance coefficient of all indicators was confirmed and the factor load of all questions was higher than 0.7. All indicators were confirmed for homogeneity with variables. the validity of the structure including convergent validity was examined; also, the results of the existing evaluations showed that the Institutional-Managerial dimension with the greatest impact in the first place are the indicators of achieving a healthy and livable city. Then the Physical-Environmental dimensions and Urban Economy in the second priority, and respectively the Urban Community dimension, Urban History dimension, Environmental dimension in the third priority, from the perspective of the greatest impact on the dimensions of a healthy city in order to achieve livability in district one of Tehran.

        The present research aimed at studying the degree of faculty members’ information literacy in Islamic Azad Universities of region 1. It was conducted to find a solution to improve this skill. Faculty members’ skills in using ICT were evaluated using ICCS and ICDL indexes. It was a descriptive-survey research. The statistical population included all the faculty members (2131 people) in 2011-2012 academic year. Based on Morgan table, 325 instructors were selected through random cluster sampling method. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data gathering. Its validity was confirmed by experts and its reliability was estimated 0/834 using Cronbach Alpha coefficient. Data analysis was done through SPSS software. In addition, both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data, such as, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, one-sample t test and one-way ANOVA. The findings showed that faculty members’ information literacy based on ICCS index was average and that of ICDL index was above average level. Also, their skill in using E-Journals was below average.
