        Purpose: The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of the quality of internal audit performance on the accuracy of managers' profit forecast. Methodology: The data of 136 companies listed on the Iran Stock Exchange were used during the years 2017 to 2021. Hypotheses were tested by multiple regression method considering the fixed effects of year and industry. Findings: The results of the statistical tests showed that there is a significant relationship between the quality of the internal audit and the accuracy of the company's profit forecast. Originality: Management forecasts are disclosures made by companies to communicate information about their future performance to shareholders. These disclosures are voluntary and are intended to reduce information asymmetry between management and shareholders. Inaccurate forecasts can be very costly for managers and question the credibility of managers and show managerial incompetence. The quality of the internal audit function reduces the likelihood of erroneous, biased, or incomplete information in management reports that managers use to improve their profit forecasts.

        Introduction: Various sections of the urban ecosystem in Tehran produce waste containing lignin. This type of waste is either incinerated or transferred to landfill sites. This research examines the amount of wooden waste generated in different sectors of Tehran. Green spaces, tree pruning, fruit crates in fruit markets, and used wooden furniture are the primary sources of waste production based on wood. The objective of this study is to estimate the amount of wooden waste in Tehran and determine its resource allocation. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the amount of wooden waste entering 22 districts and the hay markets in the year 1400 has been investigated. The relevant information was obtained through field visits, 100 questionnaires in each region, and sampling of abandoned waste and waste processing stations. Questionnaires were distributed in the 22 districts of Tehran city. The results from the questionnaires and the physical analysis of wooden waste were utilized as primary data for analyzing the status of wooden waste in Tehran. Results and Discussion: The results show that 79% of the volume of wooden waste in Tehran is attributed to tree pruning and branches. The production of wooden waste is seasonal, with the highest amount produced in late winter, particularly in February. The majority of wooden waste production is related to branches, tree pruning, and bulky waste in the month of Esfand (February/March). Districts 4 and 5 have the highest amount of household pruning waste, while District 9 has the lowest. About 29% of the wooden waste consists of bulky items such as furniture and cabinets, and only 1% is allocated to green space waste. Conclusion: The conducted investigations have revealed that wooden wastes constitute a significant portion of Tehran's municipal waste. Result shown that the highest amount of wooden waste is generated by furniture manufacturers. Pruning waste is seasonal, with consistently moderate levels in all seasons. It is recommended that solutions for organizing and recovering these wastes be proposed to better manage the substantial volume of wooden waste in Tehran. Manuscript profile

        Urban heat islands (UHI) reflect the amount of temperature difference observed between cities and their surrounding areas. The current research aims to identify the heat island phenomenon in two cities, Tehran with an industrial business background and Varamin, which is growing with an agricultural background. The aim is to identify the vulnerability of the society to the effects of the heat island and to try to adapt the society related to the heat island. The current research used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Data analysis was done using SPSS, EXCEL, ENVI and ARCGIS software. The tool for collecting information is a structured questionnaire based on the LVI index and according to the characteristics of the study areas. The validity of the questionnaire was verified with the help of a panel of experts, and the reliability of the present questionnaire was confirmed using Kornbach's alpha method. The statistical data includes 99 heads of households in three districts in Tehran and two districts in Varamin. The results showed that Tehran is more vulnerable than Varamin. The first part of this research is dedicated to the investigation and identification of the urban heat island, which was investigated using the field temperature measurement data and satellite images. The results showed that urban heat accumulation exists in both cities, but Tehran is more intense. The thermal island in Tehran was quite clear compared to Varamin on clear and sunny days. On cloudy days, the temperature difference between the regions was small, and also on days with wind, Tehran had a higher night temperature than Varamin, which is related to the high density and greater extent of this city. The second part of this research is based on the LVI index to evaluate the vulnerability of the urban heat island. The average level of vulnerability in Varamin is due to the low level of community awareness of temperature changes and its effects, but there was a sign of adaptation, which is in the form of natural adaptation. Varamin also has a better situation than Tehran in terms of interaction and relations. Tehran is facing an increase in temperature as well as a low adaptation level, which is one of the reasons for urban density. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, mixing of land use and mixed development has become one of the important areas of research in urban studies. One of the important topics related to the mix of uses is how to measure it in urban areas. Due to the fact that in many researches, the mix of uses is assumed as an independent variable that affects other aspects of the urban environment, so how to measure it is very important to achieve reliable results. This research has been carried out in order to measure and evaluate the areas of Tehran metropolis in terms of diversity and mix of urban uses. This research is descriptive-analytical and practical in terms of targeting. The methods of collecting information and data are in the form of documents (municipal statistics and detailed plan). Shannon's entropy, Gray's relationship analysis, Shannon-Wiener and Simpson's dominance models were used to analyze the data and information obtained in ARC/GIS software. Region 3 ranks first with diversity index (0.496) and Simpson dominance index (0.059487). Regions 20 and 19 are ranked second and third respectively with diversity index (0.395) and (0.304) and Simpson dominance index (0.019127) and (0.007362). On the other hand, region 8 with the lowest diversity index (0.022) and Simpson dominance index (0.000006) is ranked last.

        Background: Today, among the various approaches proposed in the field of urban management, good urban governance is one of the most famous and most effective approaches Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify and evaluate the most significant variables and principal determinants affecting the future of urban governance up to the 2031 horizon for the Tehran metropolis. It was also looking for the most likely scenarios in the field of urban governance in the 2032 horizon for the Tehran metropolis. Research method: The present study used structural analysis and cross-effect analysis to look to analyze the data. The data and information required for the research were a combination of quantitative and qualitative data, which were gathered through documentary research and survey method (questionnaire) and interview with experts in a Delphi model. For data analysis, MICMAC software was used to analyze the interactions of variables and Morphol software to compile scenarios. Findings: Finally, out of a total of 100,000 output scenarios, 5000 scenarios were identified as valid and, given the impossibility of analyzing this number, 10 scenarios with high inertia were selected, and among these 10 scenarios, 4 scenarios with the highest inertia and repeat rates of over 90% were analyzed in subsequent scenarios. Conclusion: The results showed that there was no any ideal scenario among the scenarios and the only favorable scenario was the response variable that has been repeated in all four scenarios, which indicated the weakness of Tehran's metropolitan management structure in realizing good urban governance.

        After gaining power, Reza Shah Pahlavī started political, administrative and social reforms with authoritarian centralist policies and modernization. The management of urban affairs and municipalities was one of the areas where structural and administrative reforms took place. One of the duties of municipalities in that period was monitoring the price of bread. The hoarding of grain and flour and the shortage and increase in the price of bread had created a chaotic situation in Tehran. This article, relying on written sources and especially official documents, has answered the question, what solution did Tehran municipality take to solve the problem of bread shortage and monitor its price and what actions did it take? The Pahlavī government tried to manage urban affairs, especially the issue of bread, by choosing a military person, Colonel Karim Khan Bouzarjamhari, as the head of Tehran municipality.

        A major economic issue in Iran that has intensified in the past few years has related to privatization and its implementation in the economy. This interpretation of privatization has been mentioned in Article 44 of the Constitution in Iran. According to this new criteria for evaluating businesses, are public companies better than private ones? In the other words, In the Iranian economy, can privately owned entities better achieve value creation than publicly owned companies? This paper investigates the relationships between types of company ownership (in terms of government patronage) and uses new financial criteria of performance assessment in addition to criteria assessing value creation in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The study covers a 9-year period, and it examines the relationship between ownership type and performance of firms employing new criteria of value creation. Hypotheses are presented and examined by means of correlation, simple linear regression, and comparisons of two tests. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between the percentage of government ownership of company stock and value creation: private companies, whose proportion of government ownership is less than 50 percent, have greater value creation. In addition, a meaningful relationship exists between the use of new metrics to measure performance based on value (i.e., economic value added and cash value added) and traditional measures (i.e., return on assets and return on equity). In conclusion, privately owned companies are better value creators than publicly held companies.   Manuscript profile

        Deteriorated urban textures are areas of a city isolated from developmental life cycle. They have turned into the focus of problems and inefficiencies. The evaluation of renewal actions claims to promote residents’ satisfaction in some cases. At the same time of improving objective and economic quality of life, there are claims regarding the lack of any improvements in their subjective quality of life. Above physical reforms, renewal actions in deteriorated textures should consider the issue of enhancing residents’ quality of life. Hence, besides considering physical aspects, renewal thoughts must also seek to provide and promote their quality of life and satisfaction. The Tehran Renewal Organization in 1388-92 years with the aim of achieving democratic renewal has tried to follow renewal actions with residents of the neighborhood and in keeping existing human and community development. This organization five activities defined: Social activities in order to identify the neighborhood for Awareness and Inform to the residents; Integration and renewal; Improve the quality of construction; Environmental sanitation and the definition of stimulus projects. The aim of this article is to explain the relationship between residential satisfaction of local residents with renewal actions of Tehran Renewal Organization. To do this, first, the aspects of residential satisfaction in deteriorated textures will be discussed. Then, the status of these aspects in renewal experiences will be reviewed. Accordingly, the aspects of achieving residential satisfaction in these fabrics are explained via deductive reasoning method. Based on historical research method, renewal experiences are studied regarding the aspects of residential satisfaction. Residential satisfaction in deteriorated fabrics is influenced by physical-environmental, services, socio-cultural, managerial, and economic aspects. According to aspects of the theoretical framework to examine this issue in renewal experiences 1388-92 years in Tehran. Three neighborhoods Hashemi in 10 district, Moghaddam in 17 district and Takhti in 12 district as selected samples in Tehran were selected based on The cluster analysis, k-means method. Target population are residents of neighborhoods that their homes renovated between 1388-92. then based on Cochran formula 325 questioner was determined to be distributed in the neighborhoods. Questionnaires were distributed and were filled through systematic method in neighborhoods. The data of the questionnaires analysis by statistical methods such as regression and factor analysis in Spss software. Based on outcome of Exploratory Factor Analysis seven factors (residential complex, social capital and environmental conditions residential neighborhood, The physical condition of housing units, Local Facilities and Services, Social-economic situation, Physical conditions of Neighborhood) defining as factors of residential satisfaction in these neighborhoods. The general characteristics of the residential complex, social capital and environmental conditions residential neighborhood residents account for a high percentage of residential' satisfaction. Based on renewal actions that done in these neiborhoods and results of regression analysis, Social activities, integration and renewal and environmental sanitation associate with residential' satisfaction. Activities in the field of improving the quality of construction and development stimulus projects although were defined in renewal activities but has not been considered in the following years and effectiveness of them on residential satisfaction cannot be investigated.

        The growing number of cities in the world face a wide range of hazards, which are affected by factors such as the increased urban population and climate change. Urban development and climate change are closely related and interlinked. Today, the direct and indirect effects of climate change can be seen in countries with the lowest effect on global warming and climate change. Cities that are exposed to the risk of climate change are very vulnerable. Climate change is a globally widespread phenomenon. These cities can be said susceptible. In recent years, to cope with the adverse challenges caused by climate change, the concepts of urban ecological resilience, specifically, climate resilience have been introduced. Climate resilience is a type of urban ecological resilience, which is defined as urban resilience to climate change. In this respect, in recent years, two urban resilience concepts have been introduced to reduce these negative effects. Resilience is the ability of a system to absorb the disturbances while maintaining the basic structure in the same way and the functional methods, the capacity for self-organization and the capacity to adapt to stress and change and the capability to build back the system into its condition before a shock or intense change. Adaption to climate change focuses on reducing the vulnerability to these negative changes. Resilience has different aspects, among which climate resilience as a subcategory of urban ecological resilience is considered in this study, which includes the adaptation to and mitigation of the risks and adverse effects of climate. However, urban green infrastructure has various vital functions, including environmental, social, etc. The urban green infrastructure (UGI), according to research, has been effective in reducing the impacts of climate change in cities and enhancing climate resilience. Reviewing existing literature on the urban green infrastructure related to its role in creating urban (climate) resilience, it seems that the features  of green infrastructure and which one is effective based on the development, analysis, and evaluation of urban resilience to climate change. These have not been properly addressed so far, and in general, no exact factors have been provided to assess this kind of resilience. It seems that the characteristics of urban green infrastructure can be used as an important factor affecting climate resilience in cities to achieve such factors for assessing the quality of climate resilience. Moreover, the neighborhood scale has not been fully studied in the existing literature. Given the theoretical gap existing in this field, this question arises: "How and based on which features of the green infrastructure can we assess and analyze climate resilience in a city?” To answer this question, landscape ecology principles and the relationship between them and green infrastructure in cities were studied. The relationship was developed in the Yousef Abad neighborhood of Tehran and was qualitatively tested using aerial images, field surveys, and preparation of basic and analytical GIS maps. Finally, ‘effective qualities in assessing climate resilience in cities using UGI based on landscape ecology were obtained. Manuscript profile

        Pedestrian paths or trails are allocated to change these residential spaces into a safe and pleasant place for walking. These areas which are mostly considered as bed and origin, play a central role in promoting social contacts, communication and interaction between citizens. Definitions and indicators used in the study of the views of experts such as Jean Jacobs, Donald Aplyard, Coleman, Brian Goody and others have been used in this area. In addition to definitions and concepts discussed by theorists in the field, the experiences of different cities and countries in the Pedestrianization is also considered as part of the theoretical foundations of the study is devoted to. This study aims to examine the social and economic effects of 17 Shahrivar Pedestrian path in Tehran. To collect required information, documents, library and field studies have been used. In the present study, three types of questionnaires were designed for residents, pedestrians and workers of the 17 Shahrivar Pedestrian path which were analyzed after survey. The sample size of the resident, pedestrians, and working populations were 180790 and 1400000 people and 400 trading units, respectively. According to Cochran sample volume formula, respectively, 383, 384 and 196 questionnaires were computed and distributed using the cluster random sampling method. For final assessment of the reliability of the questionnaire in pre-test, Cronbach's alpha was used which was assessed as excellent for all three groups. Finally, for analysis of the questionnaire, Kolmogorov–Smirnov, single-T sample and Multiple regression tests were used. The findings of this research suggests that it is the intention of the social objectives of most people and tourism from this place and most people who refer to the location of the range around the closer Pedestrian path. The results show For all three groups that building Pedestrian path was negative in terms of social aspect, yet regarding the economic aspect, it had a positive effect. The significance level of the test for all components is smaller than zero, that is, the construction of the pedestrian on 17 Shahrivar has affected all the components of the social index. It is observed that the components of social interaction are at a high level because the average difference with the value of the test is greater than and larger than zero, that is, the construction of the pedestrian route on 17 Shahrivar in Tehran has increased the social interactions of all three groups of residents, pedestrians and employed people. In this way, the first part of the first hypothesis is assured with 95% confidence. In relation to the second hypothesis, the results of t-test for the economic index in the three groups of residents, pedestrians and employees indicate that the significance level of the test in each of the three groups is less than 0.05 and the difference between the mean and test value is zero It means that the construction of the 17 Shahrivar roadway in terms of all three groups did not improve the economic index. Therefore, the second hypothesis is rejected with 95% confidence. 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

        Designing seems to be based on acceptance of minimal programs and proportion of functional levels or as the common discourse calls it »physical plan«, serves as the focal point of its for-mation, and the quantitative proportion of level to individual plays an important role in its de-sign and evaluation. Meanwhile, interpretations of the quality of the space, experience and event concerning the conventional and standard quantities can not be seen, something which seems to be a result of reductive and simplistic outlooks in line with modernist currents and incomplete education of the concepts of this current and dissemination of the tendency toward an international style. The present article intends to develop a post-modern framework for an outlook toward func-tion in designing and show that a transition has occurred from functionalism to programming which accepts a fuzzy spectrum of necessity, freedom and pleasure. In this situation the de-signer comes across a problem whereby he (she) has to prepare a lot of options and make some decisions in order to meet a variety range of the needs of his (her) audience, however, the de-signer’s technical know-how is not often sufficient for analyzing the reality and future predic-tion and eventually organization of the human systems. In order to change the program into the design, the designer has to make some orientation and options in programming. The de-signer is faced with the variables of the problem, their significance as well as acceptance of the changing situation and growing variables on one hand, and human’s behavior, quality and life style on the other. This complication aggravates when the audience or user of the space plays an active role against the author of the space or the architect, hence a confrontation and chal-lenge take place. Explanation of the term »environmental design« which contains the behav-ior- space system refers to the inseparable aspects of biological and non-biological human sys-tems. The objective is to prepare the ground for the synergy of these two systems toward a proper system of correlated variables in the designed space. Taking advantage of indirect measurement and using the model of ideal type of design, this article tries to study the situation of in between space syntax so that users would take more freedom and pleasure in the space through categorization, registration and mapping of the proportion of optional and necessary activities in the spaces of National Library and Library of the University of Tehran. According to the studies and analysis of the data extracted from ob-servations, the results of the research reveal that the proposed mechanism of designing the in between spaces at libraries toward rendering a better function includes: 1. Prediction of the open in between spaces at a place with most adjacency to other functions, since the more con-tradictory or indifferent the relations between functions are, the more effective they would be. 2. Design of the closed in between space so that it enjoys a high visibility along with a high spatial scale. 3. Provision of subsidiary function to in between spaces. Manuscript profile

The bazaar environment in recent years has encountered an increase in the number of women's presence. The research problem is that so far, women’s experience of Tehran Bazaar as an Iranian shopping space, has not been recognized. While women are using this space that has been gradually formed over the years for men who had been in the majority. The research purpose is to find out the meaning of the Bazaar and how the spatial qualities affect the formation of this meaning in the minds of Bazaar’s female users. Using a phenomenological approach, researchers have conducted in-depth interviews with 14 women (and to achieve complementary data, 6 men). The maps derived from the mental images of women and men show that the realm of presence of men in the bazaar is more extensive than the realm of presence of women. In the mentality of participating women, Tehran Bazaar finds its meaning in the form of five main themes as follows: shopping space, recreation space, layered space, gendered space, and intimate space. These meanings are affected by seven themes that describe the spatial qualities of the bazaar: a large complex of specialized “Raste Bazaars” (or Bazaar branches), being historical, being a labyrinth, being movement based, being old and traditional, liveliness and social diversity. The research findings show Tehran Bazaar is not only a place to shop, but presents some important benefits of urban space such as being among the people, enjoying the physical qualities and being linked with historical identity of the city. Researchers' interpretations also suggest that there is a disjuncture and inconsistency between the women experiences and the pre-existing male structures. This disjuncture results from the lack of conformity between the socio-cultural characteristics and the spatial qualities of the environment with the needs and desires of women in the "lived space". In spite of these inconsistencies, some factors act in favor of women presence in Tehran Bazaar. The meaning of the Bazaar as a "recreation space", which makes good feelings for most of its visitors, and the "intimate space" that is welcoming to people from every culture and class, suggests that, despite all the restrictions and shortcomings, women have been able to benefit from the Bazaar characteristics in favor of their own interests. Being a place for shopping, Tehran Bazaar has the potential to enable women to disguise themselves as buyers and at the same time enjoy the spatial and social qualities beyond a shopping environment. The results of this study point out that for any possible modification in the Bazaar, the meanings of this place in the experience of its users should be carefully recognized. Designs that do not care about these meanings can lead to the destruction of values of the Bazaar for its audience. Manuscript profile

        Industrial Revolution and subsequent developments were led to the revolution in urbanization in the second half of the nineteenth century and the revolution changed human settlement in other cities and resulted in unprecedented expansion of cities. This was an epidemic phenomenon that Iran would not be safe from it. In order to deal with the development and distribution of the city in Iran from mid-century imitation of the western planned systems, comprehensive plans that have in their hearts policies to control and limit urban growth were used. In the form of the comprehensive plans have been accomplished policies of the Green Belt to determine the physical limits of the city (urban growth boundary). After more than four decades, providing the first comprehensive plans for cities and for urban growth boundary, yet comprehensive and accurate assessment has not been made from success and effectiveness of the urban growth inhibition tools. Those factors caused we executed this research and in this research has been selected Tehran metropolis as study sample. After that, this study sample has been investigated in order to assess the measure of success and effectiveness of the urban growth boundary. In this research has been used qualitative research method. Research indicator has been derived from the theoretical foundations and satellite images and Envi 4.8 software has been used to verify adaptation comprehensive plan of urban growth boundary and the real border. The main findings of this research are follows: Urban growth boundary that has been determined in comprehensive plan 1371 not effectively control urban development. In the period 1371-1386, a large part of the new development outside of the urban growth boundary has been located. When the ability of urban growth boundary control by using of growth boundary inhibition was measured, the results were shown that the value of this indicator is 0/15 percent and the result means that urban growth boundary of comprehensive plan has no ability in limit of urban growth of Tehran metropolis. Size scope of the urban growth boundary specified in the comprehensive plan that has been determined in 1371 had been appropriate and had been more than the necessary amount. Thus, the failure of the urban growth boundary in respect to evolutions and developments in outside of the East Tehran metropolis and thrown out in the southern part is clear. Size scope of the urban growth boundary specified in the comprehensive plan that has been determined in 1371 had been appropriate and had been more than the necessary amount.

        The theory of "reflection" in the cinema sociology sees the film as documents that reflect the social life and therefore by examining them, which in them, and by them, we can realize changes and social trends. In this article, Tehran city is analyzed and readout from the perspective of cinema sociology in viewing experience and the emergence of the 40’s cinema, and changes in behavior and cultural norms and social and economic transformations and their impact on behaviors and norms of the city by the method of semiotics. Urban social life is cause and movies are effect. As a result, given the position of cinema sociology, we can realize common urban issues and also reflection of the mentality in this particular historical period, and we can find social consciousness and a new morality that accompanied these relations and public reaction of citizens in the face of this city. The at hand study’s approach is Semiotics of Saussure, and the confrontation for finding the narrative structure and the contrasts. Then, the social structure with its developments compared to discover the social meanings of images. Urban social life is cause and movies are effect, and since based on Goldman's view, the original creator of the artwork, not the author, but it is the social group which this worldview is formed in it; we had tried to bridge between provided images of the city and The role of ideology and social classes and be clear that these pictures are the product of the view of which groups and social classes to the community? Unlike specialists in film studies, sociologists work with large data and are interested in the relationship between the community and films, which is why this is a microscopic study of a large data. Urban issues are more than not, usually subjects such as contrast of urban and rural, urban and rural contrasts characters, Housing problem, the marginalized, the class struggle in the big cities particularly with an emphasis on spatial inequalities between neighborhoods, issues and events that are happening in the neighborhoods of the city. Then we checked out these films and divided them based on the image of the city which the films were offered. Then we selected films of each class which clearly had more features in the image in question, as examples. We tried to review the changes of the city and transformations of cultural, social and economic norms of behaviors and their impact on urban norms and behaviors. The result was a film that was one of the most influential films of the '40s, Khesht-o-Ayineh (Created by Ebrahim Golestan, Year 1344 Solar Hijri calendar), and with analyzing and explaining these videos and extracting common features of them through image semiotics and given the status of knowledge for cinema, Common to urban issues in this particular historical period can be realized and also the part of the mind, the unconscious social and public reaction of citizens in the face of the city can be realized.

            Different models of disaster resilience have been conducted to evaluate or promote resilience of cities prone to disasters. By considering resilience as a set of adaptive capacities, pre-event capacities influence resilience. Therefor providing a methodology and a set of indicators to measure the present conditions influencing disaster resilience within communities is the focal argument in assessment of resilience to natural hazards. As the resilience has different dimensions, one of the quantitative approaches to measure city disaster resilience is to construct a composite index. The composite index, which encompasses a set of resilience indicators, can help in resilience quantitative evaluation, comparison between geographic units in terms of resilience, and elucidate resilience spatial distribution or assess resilience in a specific place in different periods of time.     Tehran Metropolis, the capital of Iran, is located at the southern foot of Alborz Mountains, and surrounded by several fault lines. High vulnerability to disasters of Tehran Metropolis as well as the increasing population and the accumulation of resources in the capital highlight the importance of assessing the disaster resilience of this city in order to take appropriate measures to compensate for the shortcomings before the natural events occur.      Based on the context represented here, the main objective of this study is to construct a composite indicator for evaluating inherent community disaster resilience for Tehran metropolis. In this regard, a set of resilient indicators extracted from three evaluation models -Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities (BRIC), Community Resilience Index (CRI) and Community Disaster Resilience Index (CDRI) -were used to evaluate and construct a resilient composite index for Tehran metropolis. Taking into consideration indicators’ feasibility, operation-ability as well as data-accessibility, 34 of the 143 identified indicators from the three models were selected at the neighborhood level (for the 368 neighborhoods of the City). By using exploratory factor analysis, the inherent resilience dimensions are shown in five social, infrastructure, economic performance, community-neighborhood relations and community-participatory domains. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) measure was 0.785, indicating that the correlation between the data is suitable for factor analysis and the cumulative variance of 5 factors explain 71.687 percent of the data variance.      The spatial distribution of composite disaster resilience and its dimensions in Tehran metropolis indicate that the western and southwestern neighborhoods of the city have the least inherent resilience. The northern and central neighborhoods are in a better position than the southern neighborhoods in terms of resilience. Among the resilience dimensions, the infrastructure dimension has had the most negative impact on the neighborhoods with an adverse resilience situation.     To conclude, the quantitative disaster resilience evaluation provides a clear picture of the status quo. Therefore, by assessing resilience in different geographic units, it is possible to compare and identify differences between areas, reduce shortcomings, and take advantage of opportunities. Besides, by measuring the resilience in different periods of time, one can understand any increase or decrease in resilience of a place and improve this quality before the events, especially in cities with high population density and prone to earthquakes like Tehran.

        In this research, focusing on the East, West and South regions of Tehran, the cooling and heating load in residential buildings in different geographical directions has been compared, and concerning the building façade material and construction details, optimal choices have been proposed. This study answers these questions, which of the typical façade materials and construction detail in Tehran city have the best performance in reducing the energy consumption of residential buildings, and what is the effect of facade direction on heating and cooling energy consumption of residential buildings. For this purpose, the simulation tool has been utilized using Energy plus software with a design-builder interface for thermal analysis. The results of this study show that the heating load of residential buildings in Tehran is higher than the cooling load in the western and northern units and the cooling load of the building is higher than the heating load in the southern and eastern units. In this regard, the heating load in the west facing units is 8%, and in the north units, it is 15 to 26% more than the cooling load. In south-facing units, the heating load of the building is 11 to 30%, and in east-facing units, the heating load of the building is up to 20% less than the cooling load. Comparison of heating load in southern, northern, eastern and western units shows that the best orientation of the building in Tehran to reduce the heating load of the building are respectively south-facing, east-facing (19 to 22% more than the southern unit), west-facing (20 to 25% more than southern units) and north-facing (30 to 40% more than southern units). The best orientation of the building in Tehran to reduce the cooling load of the building are the units facing south, north (0.5 to 7.5% more than the southern unit), west (6.5 to 7% more than the southern unit) and east (10.5 more than the southern unit) respectively. Regarding total cooling and heating load, the best orientation of the building in Tehran to reduce energy consumption are respectively south and then east facing units (about 16% more than southern units), west (15 to 17% more than southern units) and north (18 to 20% more in different views than southern units). The priorities of selection of facade materials and construction details in southern facades are brick facades with dry connection method, concrete panels with dry connection method and stone facades with dry connection method. In north-facing units, this arrangement includes a brick facade with a dry connection method, concrete panels with a dry connection method and stone facades with a dry connection method. In the west facing units, concrete panels with dry connection method, brick facades with dry connection method, and stone facades with dry connection method are the best. In the east facing units, brick facades with dry connection method, stone facades with dry connection method, ceramic facades with dry connection method and concrete panels with dry connection method have better performance in reducing the energy consumption of the building.

        Today, the issue of identity crisis has become one of the main concerns in the domain of architectural spaces, especially in countries with culturally rich backgrounds which seek original features in a purposeful solution. This is also true of the Iranian architectural space which, connected deeply to its culture, can conceive an authentic model related to the architecture of the modern urban façades.            The main inquiry of this study revolves around this fundamental question: “What elements are analytically included inthe study of the semantic authenticity in urban facades of the city of Tehran?” It could be concluded that, based on the theory of origin of Zancheti, et al., understanding the concept of “originality” is possible through three elements: the physical – environmental element, the physical element and the element of meaning in urban landscapes.  Furthermore, the authentic façadesfollow three elements: first, the clarity in the building structure, second,the connection with the environment and the urban space and third,the affiliation to the longstanding and meaningful objects.            In order to create original façades in today's urban architectural design, one needs to identify the construction of the building facade, followed by a systematic study of the physical and semantic relations to perceive its semantic authenticity as veiled codes in the facades. The aim of this study is to emphasize the structural authenticity in the city of Tehran by devising a framework in the original semantics. Therefore, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods is used. Thus, in the qualitative phase, the characteristics are examined through “Grounded-Theory” method.In the quantitative phase, however, the significance of the characteristics is determined using the SWARA method. The data collection method is based on field data, library research, and involves a questionnaire containing 24 questions. The selection of examples include monuments of contemporary architecture that have a wide range of impact and hold the following characteristics due to their superior views: 1-In the first and second “Pahlavi” Era; 1931-1966. 2- Iranian cultural roots are also meticulously studied. 3-There are genuine architectural signs and patterns. In the selection of this study, twopoints are more conspicuous than others: the importance of the works of the selected buildings and the significance of their relative era.            The physical analysis of the contemporary architectural works in the first and second “Pahlavi” Erasuggests thatproper design methods were applied in the structural proportions widely employed by the architects of the timeto originate a basic method in architecture. They follow a pattern that facilitates the process of the original design by employing it in view and intensify the validity of the façade.            According to this research, the production of an authentic urban facade has a direct connection with the creation of meaningful elements that are linkedto one another through time. This study considers roots as the basis of originalitywhich is perceived through an accuratedesign analysis of the architecture of PahlaviEra. The semantic authenticity of the façade is comprehended through semantic elements which areassociated with the city,the effective light,the turning point,the vitality and mobility, the memorability, and the domestic materials.

        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.

        41 - Evaluation of Aesthetics and Place Identity
        Behnaz Aminzadeh

             The shortage of theories and research in the field of urban design aesthetics have caused that the creation of beautiful landscape in cities to be regarded as a marginal and selective subject, depending on individual and personal tastes of the clients and designers. In related literature, the studies about the evaluation of urban aesthetics have been focused on the experts’ opinion about the beauty, and thus people's preferences of urban aesthetics are usually ignored. Galindo’s research (2005) is one of the few studies which establish connections between environmental meanings and urban aesthetics by using the people’s opinion about their environments. He introduces variables such as visual wealth, light, originality, and place memories as the most important variables of beautiful urban landscapes.     This study is an attempt to demonstrate the people aesthetic preferences and its relation to the identity of place. In evaluating people’s preferences we are looking for the “beauty in the eye of beholder”, and thus the evaluation is involved in the perception of beauty and the emotion people have for their living places. Four hundred residents of the district of Navab (old and new fabrics) interviewed according to a visual test (Q-sort). The findings show that there is no considerable differences between the criteria regarding beautiful landscape and those involving sense of place; it is also recognized that for both beauty and identity the objective criteria are cited more than subjective criteria by the respondents.     In detail, the result of people preferences about beauty can be summarized as below: Objective variables related to the physical appearance of the landscape are more effective than subjective variables such as beliefs and values about the place. The design of the building façade has been the most important criterion in evaluating beauty. Beautiful landscapes are mostly selected from new designed fabric of Navab. There is a public consensus in selecting desirable landscapes. Characteristics of the best three selected landscapes are their clarity of form, function, and structure. They all have a strong social context.     The results about preferences for identity shows that: Objective criteria are more notable than subjective ones. Familiarity with place is the important criterion of identity; it obtained the highest rank among other variables. Three higher landscapes which constituted the highest percent of preferences have special characteristics. All are landmarks with distinctive social context and hold clear forms and functions. According to the opinions of residents of both old and new fabrics, the new fabric is more identifiable. Although the reason for this selection is residents’ familiarity with space (place identification instead of place identity) but it demonstrates how much the designed environment (as an expert product), influences the people’s preferences of place. It comes to the conclusion that a professional work holds an inherent value for people. This issue should be regarded by those who participate in designing and making decisions about cities. It seems a participatory place making, supports and enhances the compatibility between built form and the people’s preferences. Manuscript profile

        In recent ages, smart and flexible land use planning have mainly focused on guidance of urban development and prevention of  irregular growth of cities, especially metropolitans with lack of monitoring and control during the process of land use planning that will lead to destroying a lot of lands with priority of conservation and agriculture. A glance at the procedure of changes in the past shows that the strategies and instruments of management and also of land use planning did not have enough and essential substantive and practical values. Therefore more efficient thoughts must be considered and used to adopt new management policies, simply because the patterns and relationships of land use have a significant influence on the vitality, character and all together the quality of a certain community. One of the suggested strategies for smart analysis of land use in zones with potential of development is using a model named LAND USE CONFLICT IDENTIFICATION STRATEGY (LUCIS) which has been used for the first time by the urban planning experts of Florida University in 9 regions of Florida State, during the last decade. In this study we have endeavored to follow the path of this research based on developed ideologies and methods. The Land-Use Conflict Identification Strategy, (LUCIS), is a goal-driven GIS model that produces a spatial representation of probable patterns of future land use. LUCIS identifies sensitive environmental factors that would be impacted by urban development, and conversely areas that are positive factors for conservation uses. LUCIS also identifies suitable and/or unsuitable lands for specific types of urban development potential or agricultural productivity. In this framework, to investigate the remedy of efficiency of this model, twenty second region of Tehran (Region 22 of Tehran) was chosen as the case study because of its distinguished characteristics and developing conditions. This region which is known as the west entrance of Tehran has been considered as a developing region due to its connections to the city limits in recent years and having natural resources such as northern mountains of the region as well as dry rivers which has been influenced by ungovernable urban development.  The aim - according to application of theoretical content and methodology of LUCIS model –was achieving a scheme that is consistent with natural and artificial characteristics in this region with focus on creation of balance and coordination between the procedure of developing and conservation of natural resources. To consider analyzing the necessary informational layers, the results demonstrate that the residential zone makes a rather vast part of this region (over 25 percent) – using that distributed in the whole of this region especially between Chitgar Park and Vard Aavard Dry River. The most Comparative conflicts (with the rate of more than 25 percent) have happened between residential-conservational zones at the northern parts of the region and near the dry rivers with mixed used zones in the available urban fabric. According to this, intervention strategies have been compiled in different land-use planning scenarios and performed for elimination of conflicts. Manuscript profile

        In general, categorization of systems in the context of social – economic issues, cities are considered as one the most complicated ones. Now, metropolitan areas have faced rapid growth and their problems have increased in terms of both quantity and quality aspects. Managing highly complicated systems requires a systematic approach, as well as identifying and guiding relevant elements on the basis of rules and analyses of such approach. The aim of urban management is to assure that the elements of the system are managed in a way that provide the daily functions of a city which facilitates and encourages all economic operations and enables the residents to meet their basic needs, such as housing, access to public facilities and services and income generation opportunities. Urban management integration is an issue emerged from local government, types of current performance and political dispersions in urban area, urban power system and its agents. The aim of this article is identifying and categorizing operant and the tools of integrated urban management in Tehran Metropolitan Area. The concept of city, urban management and the relationship between urban management operant and such concepts are determined on the basis of previous literature. In a mixed approach, needed data are gathered by using case study (qualitative) and survey (quantitative) methods. In this line, explorative studies and interviews are used to devise research theoretic basics. In terms of purpose, present study is a descriptive – analytic research. The statistical population of the research includes two groups: Tehran urban management administrative and senior managers, and urban management experts. A relevant questionnaire was used and sampling method was judgment. Judgment sampling is used when a limited group of people have the relevant information. It is the only sampling method which can be used, regarding the holders of such information. In present study, obtained data from collected questionnaires of urban management experts and managers were analyzed by using Kruskal Wallis test and then the most effective institutions and Operant in various aspects of urban management such as policymaking, monitoring, control, planning and urban and administrative rules and regulations were determined.According to the respondents, in terms of existing rules and laws on policymaking in Tehran Metropolitan Area, City Council (17.2%) plays the biggest role, followed by governmental agencies (17.2%). In terms of monitoring and control, Municipality (20.3%) plays the most vital role. In the meantime, Municipality has the highest share (18.8% frequency) plays the most vital role in urban planning. According to research findings, one can state that 17.2% of respondents believe that governmental agencies enjoy the highest legal rights to determine urban laws and rules. It shows the centralization of domestic political system and its related power links. Regarding executive affairs, Municipality has the highest frequency (35.9%). Ultimately, findings outline that in the opinions of research participants, Municipality is the most competent agency for integrated management of Tehran Metropolitan Area (35.9% frequency). In the meantime, rules and regulations have the highest and important role, among other available tools for urban management. Manuscript profile

          Physical, economical, social Inattentiveness beside vanished sense of attachment have prepared way for social harms in dilapidated areas. Thus, one of the primary objectives in residential or commercial architecture is preservation of “peace and safety” which can solely be achieved through the expansion of physical “security”. Researches have shown that the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in both the opportunity for crime and fear of crime. Through their involvement in design can influence the creation of safer neighborhoods and communities. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) approach may pave the way for alleviation and prevention of urban crimes, including dilapidated ones, by using general elements such as mixed land use, provision of predictable routes, proper urban lighting, creation of defensible spaces, etc... . CPTED is part of a comprehensive approach to crime prevention. By emphasizing modifications to the physical environment, it complements community-based policing, Block Watch, and social programs that address some of the root causes of criminal behavior.   There are four primary obstacles to the adoption of CPTED. First is a lack of knowledge of CPTED by environmental designers, land managers, and individual community members. For this reason, allocating substantial resources to community educational programs are often required. The second major obstacle is resistance to change. Many specifically resist the type of cooperative planning that is required to use CPTED. Beyond that, skeptics reject the research and historic precedents that support the validity of CPTED concepts. The third obstacle is the perception that CPTED claims to be a panacea for crime that will be used to displace other more traditional approaches rather than a small complementary tool in deterring offender behavior. The fourth obstacle is that many existing built areas were not designed with CPTED in mind, and modification would be expensive, politically difficult, or require significant changes in some areas of the existing built environment.   CPTED works best when fully supported by the community. Other key partners include: neighborhood residents: who can make their communities safer through participation in the development and implementation of CPTED-based strategies for crime prevention new home buyers: who can ask for a home built to CPTED principles apartment building managers: who can organize the safety of tenants   elected officials: who can encourage the integration of CPTED principles into official plans, zoning by-laws and development permits   police officers: who can conduct CPTED assessments in existing neighborhoods and review applications for new developments   insurance companies: who can offer discounts for safe designs Nematabad as a dilapidated urban area with vast abandoned lands has crucial problems in terms of crime rate and its spread throughout public areas. Therefore, the present paper with collection of existing data for given area and certain questioners filled out by residents that processed via GIS and SPSS as comprehensible graphic maps, tries to explore complex areas and categorizes their specifications, in addition to introducing their generative factors and the environmental design approach to regularize these areas.

        Development is an exponential phenomenon which requires basis changes in cultural and social structures on one hand and economic growth and reducing poverty on the other hand. Imbalance and high concentration are from characteristic of the Third World Countries. These characteristics are the results of polar growth policies according to which some locations are strategic while others are marginal. Urban planning faces with issues such as understanding and analyzing the potentialities as well as the determination of the development level of a given city. One of the major and essential topics in comprehensive planning system is harmonious development issue that is introduced in terms of development of districts of a community. Paying attention to coordinating the areas based on providing them all items of economy, social, facilities, welfare and equipment is of the issues which can pave the way to get to justly distribution of sources to unity all areas with the quantity and quality aims of the outstanding huge national plans and policies. Utilization of quantitative criterions and methods to level the settlements in space systems of urban zones causes to recognize the extent of inequality of settlements from one side and is, from the other side, a criterion to try to decrease and remove the existing inequalities among them. The objective of this paper is to assess and evaluate the entitlement levels of the 22 zones of Tehran metropolitan to get closer to social justice, space development and to reach to regional inequalities regarding the studied indexes. The research method is descriptive and analytic that utilized TOPSIS quantitative model for ranking. The most entitled district regarding development is district 5 with priority coefficient of 0.584 and the least entitled one is district 17 with priority coefficient of 0.256. Finally, considering the social justice criterion and necessity of equal sharing of sources and city services to decrease the social differences between north and south zones of Tehran, we have to devote sources to different areas considering the areas justice. I mean we have to do it in a way that: - The needs of each zone population are met; - Devote most of the budget to the zones with most investment attraction to the areas with the least investment attraction which can guide and control the move of budget into the poor zones in the true way; - By building some worthy applications, in or next to poor zones, decreasing in Capitation level for incompatible uses, and trying to increase the zones quality with making a change in the kind of the city zones usages and providing services, especially the ones which are providing services, especially the ones which are municipal responsibilities to make the same level of progress among different zones; - The setting of appropriate density levels within area; - Adequate existing public transport capacity available or likely to be available within a reasonable development timescale; - The relationship and linkages between the area to be (re)developed and established neighborhoods, including the availability of existing community facilities.   Manuscript profile

        Development in modern technology and changes in urban life have created fundamental adaptation in neighborhoods environment in modern cities. Neighborhoods which were calm and peaceful realms for living, without visual disorders had important role in social communication, empathy. These environments nowadays have changed into illegible and chaotic environment which neighborhoods, neighbors and their human communication lose their concepts and values. It can be said that governments and rulers as well as designers, architects and urban planners have influenced on these changes and also the results of them.New spatial organization patterns in neighborhoods causes fundamental changes in old urban fabrics and visual appearance of cities and people are the one how scarified. After the defeat of modernism knowledge in seventieth decade (As Charles Jenks notified it with destroying Port Eago residential complexes in the United States that presented the weakness of modern knowledge in growing the quality of residential environments), scientists and urban designers have seek newpattern with consideration on distribution of open spaces in urban fabric to increase the quality of design and life in residential areas. Nowadays living in apartments and high rise development is undeniable truth of urban life caused by scientific progress. So it is necessary to provide security and wellbeing of their residents who have limited choice in living environment. Surveys can help to create livable and dynamic environments in residential area for our children to live in a place in harmony with their nature and nature. This change occurred in Iran from the late period of the Qajar Dynasty on, Neighborhoods influenced from modern technology and knowledge and specifically vehicles, like western countries changed fundamentally without any consideration to future and qualitative needs. This paper have surveyed on the appropriate distribution of open space in order to upgrade the quality of modern urban residential areas in Tehran. It also mentioned thatthe way of open space distribution through the residential areas was not suitably allocated. In addition, there has not been an intellectual pattern to distribute these open spaces and because of improper use of western patterns in organizing the open and occupied/populated spaces throughout Tehran residential districts, the open spaces have not played an important role in revival of past concepts and values. Finally, in order to promote the qualified role of open spaces in modern urban residential sites in Tehran, some techniques were presented. The paper firstly have presented the history of patterns in developing residential areas and the changes in neighborhoods structure since 1900 up to now in the west as well as Tehran with investigation on quality and open spaces distribution and pattern in three districts; Velenjac, Narmak, Zibadasht complexes. Data gathered in this investigation by surveying in the area and interviewing with residence. In addition the gathered data have compared and analyzed due to the nature on incomputable qualitative aspects of the research. Finally, the comparison of case studies shows the importance open spaces and the valuably of their distribution to the density in quality of residential areas.   Manuscript profile

        Traditionally only the identity of towns and places that have a certain historical works. But today these places in large cities do not have the old place. So must be identity to the cities in new places. One of the ways that these identities can be created from the use of the identity of urban design and urban spaces, especially spaces in a furniture builder is new. This not only strengthens the identity and survival in the minds of people. But the continuation of sustainable urban identity and enhancing the sense of belonging somewhere.The purpose of this study is research role new spaces in creating sense of place belonging and without belonging place. The other hand achieve to this concept that the design of new spaces in desolate places as much impact on the community to create vitality and sense of belonging place and will result in the identity space.This research using descriptive - explanatory and using data collection methods as librarian and survival had intended to try to identify the role of design in creating a sense of belonging and research urban identity in Nahjolbalagheh park in Tehran city. The survival research in this research is observation and completion of questionnaires. Sample size is 100 cases of Nahjolbalagheh park visitors that the data collected in SPSS software was implemented and analyze hypothesis test was with the use of chi-square, Kendall, and gamma test. This research shows that community-based design space, proper placement of urban elements, the elements of identity construction, furniture and improving the quality of urban environment, including factors that may lead to new urban spaces are spaces in the maker’s identity. These finding shows that should not be sought identity in areas of historic old town. Proper design and use of furniture in a dynamic urban spaces abandoned not only led to the development of social spaces, increasing the level of citizen engagement, a sense of belonging somewhere, peace and comfort is psychological. But also on improving the security space. This study  with  studying of Nahjolbalagheh park of Tehran city examined the content expressed  that how old abandoned space using design tools in new and dynamic space and time resolution of the identity and authentication mechanism be created.Therefore can say to be promoted how much quality and service in space, how well the various elements of the quality of urban spaces and urban design elements in public spaces, especially the new builder of quality and quantity as so attract the people, the use of space, satisfying feeling of space and space and thus increase the shelf-space and space in mind and the space is identity. The purpose of this study is research new space and role of new spaces in creating sense of place and belonging is non-place. Therefore results of studies show that identity and sense of belonging related with style and environment design and improving the quality of the urban landscape, such as furniture, identity and urban culture in the new areas will be strengthened.

        This research proposes a systematic approach to provide insight on how to quantify the similarity/dependency between different architectural design styles. The study utilizes the College of Fine Arts of University of Tehran as its primary focus and examines to what extent the architecture at the College of Fine Arts at University of Tehran was affected by the French École des Beaux-Arts and the German Bauhaus school through examining more than hundred architectural works from these schools. In the first half of this study, the teaching method and educational system of these schools are reviewed and in the second half of the study the main characteristics of architectural works of each school are identified. If we consider an architectural work as the outcome of an architectural education, then the features of the created work can be attributed to the associated educational system. Based on this, the characteristic of the prominent architectural works of the two schools were investigated and used for the analysis through the proposed approach. This approach can be used for quantitatively investigating complex qualitative problems in different disciplines. On average, the results show that the college of Fine Arts is influenced by thirty-three percent from these two approaches, while the Bauhaus approach shows a greater impact. Manuscript profile

        Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder characterized by impaired glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Dietary fatty acids may play a role in the progression of PCOS and related metabolic abnormalities. We conducted a case-control study to examine the association between dietary atherogenic index (AI) and PCOS risk. The study included 203 women with PCOS and 291 healthy controls from Taleghenai Hospital in Tehran, Iran. Demographic, anthropometric, and dietary data were collected using a validated food frequency questionnaire. AI was calculated based on dietary fatty acid intake. Participants’ mean ages were 28.98±5.43 and 30.15±6.21 years for cases and controls, respectively. No significant differences in intakes of total fat, cholesterol, saturated, trans, monounsaturated fatty acids, linoleic, or linolenic acids were observed across AI quartiles (p>0.05). However, polyunsaturated fatty acid intake decreased significantly with increasing AI quartiles (p=0.034). In addition, this case-control study found no relationship between the dietary atherogenic index and the risk of PCOS among Iranian women. Further research is needed to validate these findings and elucidate the role of dietary fatty acids in PCOS pathogenesis. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important concerns of investors in financial markets is choosing a share or stock portfolio that is optimal in terms of profitability. To this end, there are many ways in which the stock portfolio has been chosen. The optimal portfolio selection is a portfolio management goal. In this dissertation, the DEA technique has been used as a new and reliable way to select the stock optimal stock. In this thesis, the risk of different orders, average returns, return variances, higher torque are considered as output variables. It will also be possible to take into account the priorities for increases in risk ignored by DEA in applied studies but discussed in economic theory. Finally, in this research, 278 companies were evaluated in 50 stock portfolios during the 5-year period, which is evaluated by 3 models, one for higher returns, one for lower risk and one for a combination of these two methods has meant greater returns and less risk. Also, baskets number 6 and 8 ranked best in the first, second and third models. . Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to provide a prediction model for the Tehran Stock Exchange Index using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and fuzzy regression analysis. The behavior of this index is nonlinear and chaotic that traditional methods do not predict accurately. Hence, using the above two tools and identifying three macroeconomic variables including inflation rate, exchange rate and crude oil price as independent variables, we predicted the index of the total stock index for the next week. Then, the modeling was performed using the above three variables. By comparing the results, ANFIS performance was better than fuzzy regression. The Root Mean Square Error Performance criterion was obtained for the ANFIS output of 0.021248. The prediction of the next week showed an error reduction for both tools and ANFIS again with an error value of 0.007933, yielded superior performance of the study. Also, the model with four inputs was more accurate compared to the model with three inputs. The emphasis on using macroeconomic variables, predicting the next week's index number, using the two tools mentioned, analyzing the sensitivity of the models during the research are the characteristics of this research. This research can be used by all companies in the stock exchange, investors, brokers, and individuals and legal entities dealing in any way with the stock market. Manuscript profile

The hoarding and accumulation of bad news for extended periods lead to stock price crashes when the accumulated hidden bad news crosses a tipping point, and thus comes out all at once.

        The main target of this research is the investigating of relationship between of social responsibility and forces with a bubble that is created in Stock Exchange of Tehran for a symbol Transactions (for clarifying the information from the managers). At first all the information are determined with the unit root of P/E, Elongation, sequence and Skew tests in Stock Exchange of Tehran for 158 companies that they had the bubble in 1389 to 1392. Therefore with getting the bubble tests, all the companies in 1389 to 1392 had the alternations in Exchange and they divined in two parts, with the bubble and without bubble. Variable transparency, Financial Leverage, Speed liquidity, the rate of official value and Equity Market, the rate P/E and the companies were used for predicting the bubble. Therefore with using of Logistic regression, a model was designed for the bubble prediction. The research results show that the increase of Variable transparency, Float shares Financial Leverage, Speed liquidity, the rate of official value and Equity Market, the rate P/E and the companies are the reasons in the decrease of bubble. Generally, these results support this Hypothesis that there is a negative and rational relationship between the transparency and bubble. Manuscript profile

        In this article investigate the herd behavior of stock prices inTehran stock exchange with the Heston model. Basing on parameter estimation of the Heston model obtained by minimizing the mean square deviation between the theoretical and empirical return distributions, we simulate mean residence time of positive return.Plots of mean residence time of positive return against the amplitude or mean reversion of volatility demonstrate a phenomenon of herd behavior for a positive cross correlation between noise sources of the Heston model. Also, for a negative cross correlation, a phenomenon of herd behavior is observed in plots of mean residence time of positive return (MRTPR) against the long-run variance by increasing amplitude or mean reversion of volatility. From the simulating results of MRTPR, we observe that (i) when MRTPR is regarded as a function of the amplitude of volatility fluctuation c, there is a phenomenon of the herd behavior for a positive cross correlation between two Wiener processes of stock price and volatility (i.e., λ > 0); (ii) when MRTPR is regarded as a function of mean reversion a, there is a phenomenon of the herd behavior for our considered values of b and c under λ > 0; (iii) increasing a or c induces a phenomenon of the herd behavior under λ < 0 when MRTPR is regarded as a function of mean reversion b.

        This paper is to study the relationship between momentum effect (continuation of prior returns) and financial distress risk using data from companies listed on Tehran stock exchange during 31/01/1387-31/04/1393. In this research, financial distress risk was calculated by the second version of Altman Z-Score model. To describe momentum effect, by determining the formation period to be 6 months, and the holding period to be 3, 6, or 12 months, we firstly examined the profitability of short term (3/6), midterm (6/6), and long term (12/6) momentum strategies and found that during abovementioned time period, only midterm momentum strategy was profitable. Then, we showed that momentum anomaly was driven by market under-reaction to financial distress risk. In other words, it can be said that momentum is proxying for distress risk, and is largely subsumed by distress risk factor. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, the pattern of efficiency calculation with data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to present a consolidated index for representing different dimensions of stock liquidity. Among DEA models, the range adjusted model (RAM) considers both inputs and outputs simultaneously; provide measure of efficiency and deals with negative inputs and outputs. Thus in this paper, RAM model is used as a basis for presenting relative consolidated index of liquidity. The next step, units with relative consolidated index equal to one is ranked, based on the full-inefficient frontier ranking method. Results support the effectiveness of data envelopment analysis application for measuring liquidity relative consolidated. Using this method, the stock liquidity consolidated index allocated to each of the companies listed on the, presents different aspects of stock liquidity for stocks in stock exchange, in a way that liquidity of stocks can be compared with each other easily and liquidity of a specific stock can be surveyed during time prides.

        Today, stock valuation is one of the most important matters in the field of financial research, because by investing in the stocks of other companies, assuming that optimal portfolio are selected, the investors Constantly seek maximum return based on a given level of market risk or minimum risk based on a given level of return, and project the future stock prices according to the daily exchange of many stocks. Financial researchers, propose various methods for projecting the value of companies and make comparisons between them. The present study compares the stock market price of 80 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange with the discounted model of Free Cash Flow For The Firm (FCFF), over a 10-year period (2002-2011) and calculates the difference between them to investigate the effect of factors such as financial leverage, inflation, the amount of fixed and intangible assets on the difference. The findings from the analysis of combined data using multivariate regression models show that inflation and amount of fixed assets from Among the factors investigated in this study, have a significant negative relationship with the difference, deviation of the prediction value based on discounted model of Free Cash Flow For The Firm (FCFF), from the stock market price. Financial leverage and the value of intangible assets had no significant relationship with the deviation of the prediction value from the stock market price. Manuscript profile

Allowable volatility range is the price range of a share in a workday; this means that the share’s changes in that day cannot exceed or become less than this limit. Therefore this range reduces market manipultion and emotions.Beside varied advantages of exercising volatility range, there are some disadvantages and researches have been done that some allege efficiency and some allege inefficiency of this phenomenon.In this study, the type of cross - correlation is based on time series data, which are 10 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange for the fiscal year 1391 have been selected. The method of sampling is Through screening and Convenient. To test this correlation and linear regression was used to model time series.Results show that between the examined corporations(Ceramic and tiles of Sinai, Iran Transfo, Industry of Azarab, kalsimin, The steel of Esfahan Mobarake, The Suger of Shahrod, Development of Mines and Metals, zamyad, The suger of Lorestan, The Suger of Piranshahr) 1 corporatin (gheshekar) In all companies, the role of institutional investors in incidence due to more attractive investment group.

        In the most of financial models it’s supposed that distribution of observations is normal and the Value at Risk (VaR) and other criteria of market risk are calculated upon this distribution. This is while observations follow abnormal distributions in reality. So this study calculates Incremental Value at Risk (IVaR) with the assumption of being normal initially and then with regard to real distribution of data and finally compares the results of these two situations. The scope of this study consists of 42 companies present in financial sector of Tehran Stock Exchange during 2009 to 2013.The result show that by using IVaR criterion we can analyze the impact of each stock on creating the risk of portfolio and we can selected the optimal stocks. Also the results confirm this point that analysis of an portfolio’s sensitivity using IVaR criterion and based on that portfolio’s real distribution achieves more accurate and reliable results rather than it’s normal distribution.

        Stock market investments always have been risky because stock returns are volatile. The studies have ever been done on modeling and forecasting stock market volatility has mainly applied the maximum likelihood method and little attention has been paid to the Bayesian estimation method. The reason was that it was assumed that the maximum likelihood method does the best fitting with small volumes of samples. This study tries to estimate GARCH model parameters using Bayesian approach and MCMC algorithm to compare it with maximum likelihood alternative using the daily TEPIX index of Tehran Stock Exchange over the period April 6, 1999 April 20, 2014. For this purpose, the data is divided into three subsamples. The results indicates that; in small samples; the maximum likelihood method is less efficient than Bayesian method but as the sample size increases the efficiency and forecasting accuracy converge in both methods so that distribution function of the parameters is asymptotically asymmetric in small samples and converges to symmetric asymptotic distribution as the sample size increases.

        This study reviews the impact of corporate governance indicators on credit ratings in a sample of firms listed on Tehran stock exchange. Regarding the absence of international credit rating agencies in Iran’s financial market, this paper firstly calculated credit ratings of selected firms using the emerging market score (EMS) model. The next step was dividing corporate governance indicators into four categories: shareholders’ and stakeholders’ rights, board of directors and its committees, auditing, and transparency and public disclosure. Based on each of these categories, a representative index, and by aggregating four representative indexes, a composite corporate governance index was built. Then, the relationship between these indexes and credit ratings was examined.Results suggest that only governance indicators related to shareholders’ and stakeholders’ rightsare significantly positively correlated with credit ratings. However, combining these indicators with other governance indicators (that is, indicators related to board of directors and its committees, auditing, and transparency and public disclosure), did not have any significant influence on credit ratings of Tehran stock exchange listed firms.

        This paper analyzes the role of default risk in the momentum effect focusing on data from Tehran stock exchange during 19/04/2009-21/07/2015. Default risk was calculated by a measure based on the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option pricing model, where a firm’s default risk is derived from the market prices of its shares. This method overcomes some of the problems associated with the default risk measures used in prior studies. To describe momentum effect, by determining the formation period to be 6 months, and the holding period to be 3, 6, or 12 months, we firstly examined the profitability of short term (3/6), midterm (6/6), and long term (12/6) momentum strategies and found that during abovementioned time period, only midterm momentum strategy is profitable. Then, we showed there is no relationship between default risk and momentum effect. While the loser portfolio is characterized by high default risk, small size, high book-to-market ratio and illiquidity, characterization of the winner portfolio is somewhat more complex. This makes momentum profits difficult to forecast. Manuscript profile

        The study aimed to review and analyze cognitive structures for MITSE by a qualitative interview-based approach using Zimet technique. Accordingly, a semi-structured interview applied on 13 MITSE residing Khuzestan province and micro investors' mental (perceptual) map extracted. Six main extracted categories included in attributes of financial markets, types of financial markets, attributes and applications of capital market, governments' roles on capital markets, society and capital market and main players of capital market. Micro investors in sub-categories sector revealed that the main factor for the country's economic growth means investment and savings has increasingly been tarnished by a dramatic decrease of the public trust and the private sector toward the government and central bank policies. Ahead of this negative influence, the country's development of financial markets (DFM) will undesirably be ineffective. DFM considered as the most important and effective strategy in the developed countries. One may claims that the biggest mental perception for micro investors would be to ignore the most important advantages and attributes of capital markets and investment on stock exchange (e.g. transparency and security on investment, risk control on asset withdrawal and micro investments of long-term projects). This will ultimately lead to a severe reduction in economic growth, inflation, depreciation of the national currency and decreasing quality of the public's level of living in the country.

        This study investigates the effects of arbitrage asymmetry and limits-of-arbitrage to explain the observed idiosyncratic volatility return premium in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The sample includes 90 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange from 2008 to 2022. For this purpose, a comprehensive index of limits-of-arbitrage has been constructed based on three measures of arbitrage risk: transaction costs, noise trader risk, and information uncertainty. Furthermore, a mispricing measure has been constructed based on three anomalies: asset growth, gross profitability, and momentum. These measures and anomalies capture the main features of the Tehran Stock Exchange. To test the research hypothesis, the three-way portfolio sorting and the Fama-Macbeth cross-sectional regressions conducted. The empirical findings show that the idiosyncratic volatility premium is positive for both overpriced and underpriced stocks. Within the high limits-of-arbitrage stocks, the positive idiosyncratic volatility return premium is higher for overpriced stocks than for underpriced stocks. Consequently, the limits-of-arbitrage and the arbitrage asymmetry can explain the positive idiosyncratic volatility return premium in theTehran Stock Exchange. Manuscript profile

        This article has studied several fluctuations in the Iranian currency market and multiple turmoils in the economy that have not only wiped out Iranians private savings but also affected financial market activists to provide a better understanding of fluctuations' movement between markets. To doing so, we used the exchange rate in the open market (in some periods, the black market) as one variable and the Tehran Stock Exchange Index (TEDPIX) as a second in the form of multivariate conditional heterogeneity variance (MGarch) model. According to the results, the time series suggests multiple structural breaks from Dec. 2018 to Jan. 2020. Using the so-called GLS-Based unit root test, we observed five structural breaks that produced stationary problems at the level and no evidence of stationary problems at the return of the data. Also, by using DCC and FDCC models we confirm that there is a fluctuation between the two markets during the period. This overflow shows a different performance if structural failures are considered.

        The use of models based on stochastic differential equations has attracted the attention of financial researchers in recent years and one of the most famous models is the Brownian Geometric Motion model. The purpose of this study is to predict the Tehran Stock Exchange total index, one of the important economic indicators for investors, using the geometric Brownian motion model. For this purpose, the total index of Tehran Stock Exchange was investigated in the period from the beginning of 1380 to the end of 1395. Finally, the results showed that the model was able to predict the 1 day horizons with high accuracy. Also, by increasing the length of the prediction horizon, the accuracy of the predicted values by the model is reduced, and the GBM model's ability to simulate the total index value of the stock exchange decreases Nevertheless, the predicted values are still high accurate until the 90-day forecast horizon.

        This paper studies the relationship framework between individual and group acts of stock trading activities in Tehran stock exchange which leads to the development of a cohesive relationship model for individual and group acts of stock trading behaviors. It has a quantitative–qualitative hybrid approach in which the model is designed by using Delphi technique at first stage, and it is tested and assessed by using structural equation modeling method at second stage. The model shows that areas of financial capability, financial capacity, word-of-mouth communication, mass media, financial consultation, stock trading behaviors, and personality are considered as causal conditions of relationship framework of individual and group acts which affect that process positively and meaningfully.

        The uncertainty and volatility of the stock market is peculiar features of capital markets. This paper examines the volatility of Tehran Stock Exchange Price Index (TEPIX) due to the degree of uncertainty in the relevant macroeconomic variables. To analyze the relationship, we have used Vector Auto Regressive (VAR) and Conditional Variance Models (CVM) with quarterly data for the period of 1373-1388. Our findings show that a significant share of unpredictability in the TEPIX is due to its own endogenous variables. Moreover, the results indicate that price fluctuations in the parallel markets including housing and gold market also play an important role in the degree of the volatility. Manuscript profile

        The movement in the stock price index is an important indicator in the economic system of a country. The purpose of this paper is to examine the long-run and short-run relations between Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) price index and monetary and exchange rate variables in Iran. We have used Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) modeling approach and Error Correction Model (ECM) to determine the effects of monetary and exchange rate variables on TSE price index in the long-run and short-run. This procedure for small sample will be the most appropriate. Quantitative estimates based on the time series monthly data from 2004 to 2009, indicate that liquidity (M2) has a positive effect on TSE price index in the long-run. But, free market exchange rate (FER) and legal reserve (LR) have a negative effect on TSE price index in the long-run. On the other hand, monetary variables have a significant effect on TSE price index in the short-run. However, the coefficient of the Error Correction Term (ECT) shows that the speed of adjustment is slow and the ECM can only explain 69 per cent of the fluctuations of TSE price index.

        One of the effective factors on stock price index is exchange rate that often its quantities is fluctuating in different domains. In different countries with considering the differences in investment infrastructure and economic situation, the effect of exchange rates and its volatility on stock price index can be different. This article uses monthly mean of Tehran price index (TEPIX) and real exchange rate between 1380/M1-1391/M3 with purpose of studying the effect of exchange rate and its volatility on TEPIX. By Using Eviews6 software, at first, volatility of exchange rate is calculated by GARCH method and then the effect of exchange rate and its volatility on TEPIX is estimated by VAR model. The results indicate that in all periods the effect of exchange rate is more than its volatility. Based on the results of Johansen test, exchange rate and its volatility has a significant long-run equilibrium relationship with TEPIX. Exchange rate has negative effect on TEPIX and its volatility has a positive one.   Manuscript profile

        Several studies have been accomplished  about the relationship between the  exchange rate volatilities and stock market behavior. In theoretical methods, there is no general agreement about the relationship of foreign exchange market and stock market. This paper which is based on a two regime MS-EGARCH(1,1) and with using monthly data between 2000 to 2010 intends to investigate this topic. According to estimation results, the first regime is related to variance regime and low average (recession)and the second regime is related to variance and high average (expansion). In average regime and low variance, foreign exchange market shocks had positive effect on stock return variance but it did not have any effect on the level of average return of stock market. But in variance regime and high average it did not have any significant positive effect on the level of variance and the level of stock return average. The above results showed the asymmetrical effects of foreign exchange market shocks on stock return in two stagnation regime and expansion regime. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Purpose – This paper seeks to identify empirically the factors underlying the decision to adopt online banking in Tehran. Design/methodology/approach – The sample used in this study is based on 385 interactive questionnaires completed by Tehran internet users. Data were analyzed by employing correlation and multiple regression analysis. Findings – The results showed that perceived usefulness,perceived ease of use, internet experience, trust and use of other banking products positively associated with the intention to use online banking in Tehran.On the contrary demographic characteristics was found to be not significant in this study. Research limitations/implications – This study was conducted in Tehran and future research can use this model to study the adoption of online banking in other cities. Managerial implications – The results allow banks’ decision makers to develop strategies that can increase the adoption of online banking. Banks should improve the security and privacy of the websites, which will increase the trust of users. Banks should also create features which are useful to users, try to make the process of using the services easy for consumers, teach customers how to use the online services and use a package deal, such as an account with online access, debit or credit card and a SMS banking service. Originality/value – The findings allow the factors that can influence the adoption of online banking in Tehran to be understood. Unlike existing studies based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study includes internet experience, trust and use of other banking products on top of the existing variables used in TAM. Most studies on adoption of online banking are focused on developed countries. By focusing on Iran, this model can also be applied to other countries which are relatively new to e-commerce and online banking. Manuscript profile

        Purpose – This paper seeks to identify empirically the factors underlying the decision to adopt online banking in Tehran. Design/methodology/approach – The sample used in this study is based on 385 interactive questionnaires completed by Tehran internet users. Data were analyzed by employing correlation and multiple regression analysis. Findings – The results showed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, internet experience, trust and use of other banking products positively associated with the intention to use online banking in Tehran. Research limitations/implications – This study was conducted in Tehran and future research can use this model to study the adoption of online banking in other cities. Managerial implications – The results allow banks’ decision makers to develop strategies that can increase the adoption of online banking. Banks should improve the security and privacy of the websites, which will increase the trust of users. Banks should also create features which are useful to users, try to make the process of using the services easy for consumers, teach customers how to use the online services and use a package deal, such as an account with online access, debit or credit card and a SMS banking service. Originality/value – The findings allow the factors that can influence the adoption of online banking in Tehran to be understood. Unlike existing studies based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study includes internet experience, trust and use of other banking products on top of the existing variables used in TAM. Most studies on adoption of online banking are focused on developed countries. By focusing on Iran, this model can also be applied to other countries which are relatively new to e-commerce and online banking.   Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of this study is to measure the efficiency score by the cross-efficiency method in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and its relation to profitability and risk in banks listed in the Tehran stock exchange for the period 2011-2017. The statistical population of the study consists of 19 banks listed in Tehran stock exchange. The proposed method is developed in two steps as follows. First, we evaluate the efficiency measures of banks using the cross-efficiency method in DEA. Then, we address the relationship between obtained efficiency scores with risk and profitability of banks through inferential statistics. In order to analyze the data, first, we apply pre-tests of variance homogeneity, F-Layer test, Hausman test, and Jarque and Bera test and then we use multivariate regression test to confirm or reject the research hypotheses.The following three conclusions emerge from the obtained results. First, we have a significant relationship between the credit risk and the efficiency measure of the banks listed in Tehran stock exchange. Second, there is a significant relationship between liquidity risk and the performance of the banks listed in the Tehran stock exchange.

        Introduction and purposes: The virtual world is a universe which its effects on our lives have not only always been attractive but also a question and due to its over-expansion in today’s world, it has created a great deal of sensitivity. Therefore, at this research, we have tried to study these tools of communication & their effects on a statistical population, which in this case have been the students of Azad Tehran-Central University.Method: Accordingly, 300 questionnaires were distributed among two groups of social networks members & non-members students & by designing questions related to social networks and lifestyle, we studied the effects of these kinds of communication tools on lifestyles of Azad Tehran-Central university students, in order to answer this fundamental question that whether there is a meaningful relation between membership & presence at virtual social networks (Facebook) and the lifestyles of Azad Tehran-Central university students. This was analyzed by taking advantage of descriptive & inferential statistics (frequency, frequency percentage & frequency distribution rate & table) and the SPSS software.Findings: In this regards, the hypothesis of this research was set, as “there seems to be a meaningful relation between membership and presence at virtual social networks (Facebook) & the lifestyle of Azad Tehran-Central university students”.Conclusion: The research has shown that neither the length of membership at virtual social networks nor the amount of activity at these networks have not under-liedthe formation of any special lifestyle among the statistical population, therefore the hypothesis of this research was rejected and the lack of a direct relationship between membership at social networks & a significant lifestyle is proved.

        The concept of cultural development is a kind of transformation that takes place through the irreversible concentration of cultural elements in a given society, and the community cares more effectively than the natural and social environment. As demonstrated by the failure of certain projects underway since the 1970s, development is not synonymous with economic growth alone. It is a means to achieve a more satisfactory intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual existence. As such, development is inseparable from culture. The process of cultural development is the product of the historical, political, social, and family mechanisms that gradually develop and gradually change or disappear. This research is descriptive, in terms of applied purpose and in terms of depth, is a deep-seated research. The research method is "qualitative method" and is implemented with "Delphi technique".

        Today, urban transportation and its effects and consequences, in addition to the physical and environmental spheres, are problematic in the social and cultural spheres, as it has more complex dimensions in the metropolitan cities of developing countries. Thus, considering that Tehran city as the largest metropolis faces a population density and massive volume of transportation and transportation inside and outside the city, and also the technical and infrastructural aspect has been dramatically increased in recent years, but still the consequences and transport implications in environmental and health areas, is one of the most important issues in Tehran. Given the importance of this matter, the central issue of the present study is whether the social dimension of urban transport and the strengthening of this dimension has an impact on social development. In this regard, the argument is that strengthening the social dimension of urban transport as social capital, leads to the formation of social development in the city. In order to study and analyze this issue using the documentary and library research method and using the theoretical analysis tool and its analysis, we try to investigate the concepts of social dimensions of urban transportation and social development, the role of social dimension of urban transportation in social capital and, consequently, the formation of social development based on theoretical implications. The findings of the study show that in a broad conceptual dimension, social development, namely, the improvement of the human condition, which strengthen social security indicators, social participation, education and culture, and social identity, in order to reduce the social damage to urban transportation spaces action and it leads to the creation of social capital and the final product of this process is the formation of social development in the city, and as a result, social capital as a social dimension of urban transport plays an important role in the social development of Tehran.

        This study aims to investigate the role of heat island in the process of temperature changes in an urban area of Tehran during 2010 and 2018, equivalent to 1389 and 1397. To evaluate the changes, five points were identified on the map of region 1 and its eight regions. Then the middle month of each season from 2010 and 2018 was selected for review. Landsat 8 satellite data were used to analyze the heat island and the effects of urban construction on the intensification of this phenomenon. The maximum temperature data, normalized vegetation difference index, and ground surface temperature were extracted. This study shows that the level of vegetation in 2018 compared to 2010 has decreased sharply, so that it has caused temperature changes and also the creation of a heat island in recent years in the region. The increase in temperature in the morning and noon is observed in all selected months of the four seasons of the year. At the same time, the amount of increase in minimum temperatures was greater than the maximum temperatures. Manuscript profile

        In developed countries that have a rich cultural heritage, preservation and restoration of valuable historical context in the framework of its spatial management and the development of public spaces is still an important area and a permanent link to success. From this point of view, valuable historical contexts are considered as special and opportunity-creating places in terms of physical, social, cultural components and the people of the city. Based on this, the purpose of the research is to analyze the performance of the urban public space in the valuable historical context of the 12th district of Tehran.According to the nature of the subject and its general purpose, the present research method is descriptive and analytical and it was conducted in the 12th district of Tehran metropolis with the help of a questionnaire on the number of 50 people. The components have been evaluated in 3 cultural, physical and social sections and in the form of 20 variables. Pearson, t and regression tests have been used to measure the impact of public space and historical context.The findings show that one unit of change in the standard deviation of cultural actions and the dynamics of native and local life causes the standard deviation of the dependent variable (public space of historical context) to change by 81 and 70 percent. While a unit change in the standard deviation of the activity pattern only causes the standard deviation of the dependent variable to change by 24%.The results show that the social component has a better status than the physical and cultural components. In other words, the variables of cultural actions and the dynamics of native and local life have a far greater contribution compared to other variables. Manuscript profile

Specially, from that point of view that this city was located in the centre and geographical core of direction of powerful tribes who were claiming for administration. So that finally, in beginning of Ghajarieh era, it was selected as the capital city and its importance increased day by day, and with entering to the new age after the parliamentary revolution and beginning of fast period of civilization in Iran, Tehran by passing through its natural and historical borders and attachment of surrounding towns and villages changed into a greater megalopolis that of course met many functional, physical and social-economical problems and difficulties of megalopolises of undeveloped countries. Problems such as unidentification, uncoordinated physical and spatial context of old and new districts of city, living environmental pollutions, living in suburbs, over centralization of official and non-official economic activities and therefore uncoordinated centralization of population in this city and so on, caused that population centers and margin cities of this megalopolis grew up and changed into population poles as the dormitory centers and hinterlands of Tehran that creation of Karaj urban pole in west of Tehran is the best example in this regard. Therefore, by concentration of population in other towns around Tehran, now we face an urban assemblage and region in area of Tehran Province, and formation of such structure in body of the country, Tehran Province has had its own consequences and needs a specific great political and administrational management.   Manuscript profile

        Every week world urban areas gain another one million people. nowadays cities asthe settlements of over fifty percent of world's populations face many challenges likeair pollutions, noises, traffic congestions, stresses and so on. this trend threat bothhuman´s life quality and environment quality. ideal city for citizen´s life is sustainablecity in which improvement in the quality of human life is achieved in harmony withimproving and maintaining the health of ecological systems. In this city life isdesirable and increased quality of life, less conflicts, more effective economy, socialprogress and … are main advantages of these cities. There are many Barriers forCreating Sustainable Cities and one more important of them is weak urban transportsystems and traffic congestion. Traffic congestion in cities has social, economic andecological effects. On the other hand these three factors (social, economy and ecology)are the pillars of sustainable development. therefore inadequate management of urbantransport systems so existence of traffic congestion in cities is an important barrier ofcreating sustainable city. access to sustainable city requires a shift towards sustainableurban transport. sustainable transport is a term used to describe those modes oftransport which are not primarily associated with the use of non-renewable energyresources for the transport of individuals without causing a deterioration in the qualityof urban life. Nowadays Tehran as the biggest city and Capital of our country hasmany problems and barriers to be a sustainable city . high increasing in population,centralization, uncontrolled development, Air pollution, traffic congestion, accidentsand so on are some of these problems. Air pollution is the most importantenvironmental problem of Tehran which is caused mainly by motor vehicles. Motorvehicles produce 60-80% of pollution in this city. low price of fuel, low quality ofgasoline, large number of old cars, very high price of vehicles, Tehran's geographicposition, high dependency on private passenger car, improperly enforced driving andtraffic rules and finally lack of harmonious management are the most important factorsthat caused non-sustainable transport system is used in the city and as a result Tehran is an unsuitable place for living . in order to avoid this unsuitable situation changing ofTehran to a sustainable city it is necessary to support comprehensive models ofsustainable transport that are suitable with special conditions of our country andTehran city. one of these models is mooted in this study and there is no doubt aboutthat it is impossible to achieve urban sustainability in Tehran without attention inspecial consideration associated with our country .

        Geography of election is a field of geography with background in European countries from mid of 1910s. Later this field was expanded in 1960s along with little revolution in USA. Geography of election considers condition before and after election; on the other words, it analyzes actors of election through spatial point of view. One of the fields for study on geography of election is study on spatial-local condition of ballot-boxes before election; it was tried in this study to analyze 15th district of Tehran municipality using GIS for 2 cases: first case is relationship between demographic zones and quantity of ballot-boxes and second case is way of access to hospital and clinic in case when unexpected accident is occurred. 15th district of Tehran is one of the 22-fold districts of Tehran metropolitan, located in southeastern of Tehran at entrance gate of old Khorasan road. According to predictions of a universal plan, population of this district will be 942400 people in 2021. Therefore, 15th district is one of the important demographic centers. In regard to such condition, spatial-local analyze of GIS maps is considered in this research which accordingly, relationship between population and quantity of ballot-boxes in districts is not suitable; actually ballot-bases of district is not distributed proportionally considering current population in its areas. Moreover, positions of local hospital, firefighting stations as well as clinics existing in this district are considered in relation to ballot-bases. Condition of mentioned district’s access networks is interested and findings are shown lack of a planned systematic network. Manuscript profile

        The increase of urban population and its post-effects is one of the currentproblems and difficulties of the people at the world, regional, or national scales. Therise of metropolitan of Tehran in our country has changed the urban order. Its spatialexpansion not only has created new alleys, city divisions, and new towns, but alsochanged the small and old population centers of suburban villages into theconcentrated population poles. As a result, the unique spatial order established before1335 in Tehran and its suburb, were altered due to some economic, social, and politicalactivities and all the city and its periphery were developed to an enlarged spatialorganization. This process of changes created a new form of spatial organization whichis now called "urban region", "urban complex", or "urban system". Manuscript profile

        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.

        This investigation aims at studying the strength of local identity within neighborhoods of the city of Tehran. Previous researches show that few decades ago local identity and belonging was strong within neighborhoods and because of close and vast relationships between people the extent of deviance was so low in local communities. This close relationship and sense of belonging to local community among people also had different social functions and was a source of emotional support for residents of local communities. However in recent years profound physical and social changes have tended to weaken that sense of blonging and local identity and wash away its functions. Regarding these deep changes it seems necessary to study the local identity and sense of belonging in order to understand its new conditions and mechanisms; therefore we can plan to rebuild that sense of identity in new forms. This study makes use of classical social theories, identity theories; theories of place identity, particularly local identity theories, in order build a theoretical basis to study the extent of local identity in Tehran city. Our statistical society is all +18 citizens of the city of Tehran and we have used survey method and structured questionnaire to conduct research and gather data. Results show that demographical variables make no meaningful difference in local identity and overall the extent of local identity among Tehranian is moderate.   Manuscript profile

        One of the main concerns of managers and urban planners is systematic guidance and control of physical-spatial development of cities. This requires resources and tools such as sufficient financial resources. Urban management incomes appropriateness means it should be some kind that access to them doesn’t expose qualitative conditions of city -as alive and dynamic phenomenon- to the threats. Considering this matter, present paper has explained the combination of income resources of Tehran’s urban management and its effects on qualitative of physical-spatial development of Tehran. Research method is descriptive-analytical that has been done using library- documentary study and referral to the records and existing references. Results show that abandonment of urban management in achieving financial resources has led to financial reliance of Tehran’s municipality on resulted incomes from buildings and lands taxes, especially sale of the excess of floor area ratio. The overview of the records indicates that this procedure of the achievement of financial sources has relied on violation of Tehran’s physical projects rules and laws and this matter has caused not reaching to suggestions of Tehran’s comprehensive plan and as a result the city’s imbalanced vertical development and more disruptions to its physical-spatial organization. At the end, the message of this study is to maintain the quality of the urban environment and the development of infrastructure for creating and providing services to citizens in the long term need to correct and detailed planning in order to reduce dependence on unstable incomes of urban management and move towards a sustainable income.

        Introduction and purpose: Cultural policymaking as one of the pillars of cultural engineering can achieve desirable cultural goals in the society only when policymaking tools and actors are selected comprehensively and comprehensively. Such a selection will reveal the role and effectiveness of the institution of "education" and next to it, the fundamental institution of "family" in this regard; nevertheless, we witness the non-participation of the "family" in educational cultural policies. The present article raises the main question, which factors are basically effective in the participation of the family institution in cultural-educational policy makers? It seeks to identify the influencing factors on the participation of the family institution in cultural-educational policies in Tehran metropolis (specifically districts 2 and 12 of the municipality) using the qualitative research method based on "Foundation Data Theory". Research method: The research was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of data type and based on the "foundation data" approach using the interview tool. The target community of the research includes experts in the field of cultural-educational policymaking as well as families living in districts 2 and 12 of Tehran Municipality; A total of 25 people were selected as participants in the research.The data was collected with a semi-structured interview tool, and two methods of review of participants and review of non-participating experts were used to obtain the reliability and validity of the data. Findings: Factors such as: "redefinition of the concept of participation", "redefinition of the role of stakeholders in policy-making", "structural and organizational changes in the educational system" as well as "approval of rules and regulations of participation" in the phenomenon of "participatory educational cultural policymaking (with the participation of the family institution)" It is effective. The identified factors indicate the need to review and transform the approaches, requirements and processes of educational cultural policy in the country. Conclusion: Among the identified factors, if the role of stakeholders is redefined in policy-making, structural-organizational changes and alignment of family and education system are made, family participation in policy-making will be facilitated.       Manuscript profile

        The limit of Tehran encompasses approximately 23 cities, 237 inhabited villages, and numerous activity centers, housing around 2 million people. The area's spatial expansion, both formal and informal, is ongoing and anticipated to continue over the next two decades. While the northern part of limit faces encroachment issues, the southern section serves as a hub for the marginalized and socioeconomically disadvantaged, seemingly compelled by urban and regional development programs that limit their citizenship. These marginalized groups often overlook significant social, cultural, and economic aspects of their collective and individual lives, despite their potential for development and participation. Failure to incorporate these groups could render development and management plans for limit ineffective and confined to mere documentation. Hence, it is essential to involve the area's inhabitants in the planning process, as they could otherwise become victims of exploitative land acquisition schemes. The article's primary aim is to provide insight into the social realities of limit and the necessity of a community-oriented approach for managing social vulnerabilities and achieving sustainable development in there. The region's complexity, housing a diverse population, underscores the importance of recognizing the needs, goals, of this community-focused strategy. To address the issues and challenges faced by limit's residents, any development and management plan must actively engage all stakeholders, both current and future, and strive for inclusivity while combatting unlawful practices. In essence, the article advocates for an approach that acknowledges the community, ultimately leading to a more holistic and effective strategy for the region's advancement and well-being.  Manuscript profile

        Introduction & Objective: Metro construction projects are typically complicated and associated with large uncertainties. Underground construction projects face characteristics like underground situations, the large size, large amount of funding,   various stakeholders, long project duration, and complicated construction techniques. As various stakeholders are involved in metro projects, the interaction among stakeholders lead to complicated risk management process in these type of projects. Therefore, we used social network analysis to investigate social risks related to metro construction projects, from a stakeholder perspective. Method: Using qualitative research approach and interview strategy, we gathered the data   from 30 stakeholders that classified in six stakeholder groups. The data were analyzed using social network analysis seawares and the social network of stakeholder’s risks were depicted. Results: Human-management, planning, financial-economic, legal, and project delays are the most critical risks in metro projects. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is concluded that financial and economic risks are not always prioritized over project risks, and special attention should be paid to human and managerial risks, along with other risks.   Manuscript profile

        Introduction and Aim:   According  to  the  concept  of  migration,  migrants  return  to  their native land to live due to various reasons (economic, social, cultural, etc.) can lead to the  phenomenon of counterurbanization. In Iran, counterurbanization of people is concerned to movements from big cities to small towns or to return from cities to rural  areas.  Because  migration  does  not  have  a  coherent  rule,  reasons  and motivations for  migration  are  diverse  and  yet  complementary.  Based  on  studies done  in  the  project  document  further  migration to  Tehran is  caused due  to economic  problems.  In  this  study,  the  role  of  economic  factors  in  shaping the phenomenon of counterurbanization of metropolitan Tehran has been investigated. The final purpose  of  this  research  is  to  identify  and  evaluate  those  economic factors that motivate people in Tehran to migrate to smaller cities or villages. Method: the method of this research is the correlation description and it is  practical. Using a  questionnaire is  the Method  of  data  collection.  The  research sample is of men and women living in metropolitan Tehran and sample size of 384 were determined based on the Cochran formula. Results: the results suggest that Administrative infrastructure and amenities factors in  the Tehran Metropolis do  have affect counterurbanization, and the  first  factor has more impact than the latter one. The analysis also shows that by increasing the level  of  these  factors,  the  possibility  of counterurbanization  movements  will increase up to 16 percent, which is a significant amount at this time.

        Introduction and purpose of study: the diversity of land- uses is one of the key elements in contemporary urban planning that due to its social, economic and environmental advantages has been widely emphasized in modern urbanization patterns. The main purpose of present article is to compare the level of urban neighborhood sustainability in two planned neighborhoods (Velenjak and Darroos) in Tehran and the position of land- use diversity in the improvement of sustainability in two under study neighborhoods. Method: in the present research by emphasizing on qualitative indices the sustainability of two selected neighborhoods are evaluated. The proposed theoretical framework is based on neighborhood sustainability framework. For this purpose, a questionnaire was compiled containing 30 questions and neighborhood sustainability was evaluated based on Likert five- point scale by the residents. The value of Cronbach Alpha test (0.891) confirms the validity of questionnaire questions. Findings: the data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed using multi- variable regression analysis, t- test and Pearson correlation test. The hypothesis of the study stating the higher degree of desirability of sustainability in Darroos neighborhood was rejected and the mean score relating to the sustainability of Velenjak neighborhood with mean value = 81.3 and Darroos with mean value = 52.4 reflected the difference in the sustainability of two above mentioned neighborhoods. In investigating the other hypotheses, the significance of the effect of land- use diversity factor on neighborhood sustainability was rejected. Conclusion: the results of present study indicate that the low level of diversity and land- use diversity in Velenjak neighborhood compared to Darroos neighborhood not only increases the citizens’ satisfaction but also enhances the peace in this district; in the other hand, land- use diversity in Darroos neighborhood has led to the increase of density and traffic. The findings indicate that although the land – use diversity may enhance local access in short term basis but in long term it may led to the attraction of traffic trips, arrival of strangers into the neighborhood and elimination of confidentiality, increase of building density and consequently the population; so that gradually, the level of neighborhood sustainability may deteriorate. Hence, it is essential that in codification of regulations of detailed design a special attention is paid to this. For this purpose, proportional distribution of activities based on the density of households and also their needs, elimination of incompatible land- uses in neighborhoods, application of vacuous spaces and barren lands are proposed for development of new and more flexible activities, development of zoning regulations on neighborhood level (float planning) as the research suggestions.   Manuscript profile

So, over the past decade focusing on bottom-up planning has been more successful in many different areas of the city in developing countries. Nevertheless, the consequences of this approach should be more investigated in developing countries. Todays, centralized top-down planning is used in the most cities of developing countries which stakeholders' partnership has been limited in urban management. The main aim of this study is to assess citizen participation in local management in the Sanglaj neighborhood. Research method: This research is of descriptive and analytical method. Using non-probability sampling method, we chose 96 residents of the Sanglaj neighborhood as a model. Also we designed a Questionnaire and distributed among them. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS software. Tests used in this software, Single-sample t test and Pearson's correlation tests. The findings: The findings and statistical tests showed desire to participate among the citizens of the Sanglaj neighborhood is high and the average 57/3 confirms it. Finally, it was shown, there is a significant relationship among participation and performance of local councils. Correlation Test value is 0/837 and based on standard interpretation, this value is acceptable. Conclusion: The results showed that the level of citizen participation is not desirable, which explains the low level of citizen participation in urban governance is based and it can be concluded that enough context for citizen participation in local management is not provided. However, the willing to participate at community affairs among the citizens of Sanglaj neighborhood is in good standing. So this is a valuable capital and a potential that must be treated. Finally, it is suggested that councils could still regard as a public institution to provide public participation in urban governance.   Manuscript profile

        Cities today extend their spatial territories, whereas they become more susceptible to natural and man-made threats. Being located in the earthquake-prone belt of Himalayas, on average every five years, Iran faces an earthquake of magnitude of seven in Richter scale. Given the existence of active faults, Tehran is always at risk of earthquakes and has higher probability of accidents due to socio-economic-physical risk factors like high concentration of population, weak structures, weak adaptation of public services, housing, and so on, compared to other cities in Iran. As is clear, cities are complex systems constantly exposed to various interactions. Thus, to make such a great complex with its own complexities resilient and efficient, we need to draft some principles that clarify the path to achieving this goal. The purpose of the present study was to examine the components of urban resilience (case study: District 16 Tehran) with an emphasis on the natural incident earthquake. The study was conducted using a questionnaire, determining the total volume of samples, and using Cochran method along simple random sampling formula. Thus, 200 questionnaires were analyzed according to a 5-option Likert scale and t-test using SPSS. The results showed that urban resilience components at economic level include the role of providing services and increasing incentives for housing reform with an average of 3.39 percent was the most proper and the belief in planning to reduce the devastating effects of the earthquake with the priority of increasing revenue of people with an average of 1.92 are the most improper economic components.  The social level includes the participation in training courses to deal with the damage caused by an earthquake and to reduce its effect with an average of 3.38 as the most proper and transfer the experiences for reduction of the impact of earthquake with an average of 1.73% is the most improper components at social level. . Moreover, at the physical-environmental level studied, the increase in the damage caused by the lack of a prior warning system and evacuation systems with an average of 3.64 were considered the most appropriate and the trust in housing due to consulting with domestic architects and consulting engineers with an average of 2.016 was the most inappropriate case at physical-environmental level.

        The new cities after World War II were a model for solving the social, economic, and environmental problems caused by the concentration of large cities. These new towns were located and settled in order to solve these problems as well as to attract the population overflow in the area of these cities. Thus, this pattern has been considered in many countries of the world, and in Iran before 1977, with the aim of providing housing for industrial workers and after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, in order to attract the overflow of the population of the main cities, attention has been paid. The present study was designed to analyze the position of new cities in the Tehran metropolitan space system. The method used in this research has been descriptive-analytic. The findings indicate that the location and establishment of new cities in Iran, especially around the Tehran metropolis, have not met the expected goals the benefits of new cities from the economic and environmental dimension, their position in the spatial system of Tehran's urban area. To reduce the economic attractiveness and livelihoods of Tehran's metropolitan area. also, among the new cities around Tehran, the only new city of thought is due to being located in an area that has potential and actual economic potential, a history of urbanization, being in the center of activity and being attractive enough to invest in cooperative sectors (cooperative housing companies) and the private sector is almost successful and could achieve the quantitative and predictable demographic targets projected for the city Manuscript profile

        Introduction and purpose: Today, consumption has become one of the most important concepts of society, whose impact on urban life may be in the form of a kind of feeling, which makes a person belong to consumption and consumption space. Therefore, the main goal of the current research is to investigate the discontinuity and confusion of contemporary Iranian architecture through cultural, political and social factors. Method: The research method of this research is qualitative-quantitative. And the current research strategy is descriptive-analytical, the method of collecting information is in the form of library and field studies with interview and questionnaire tools. Meanwhile, the results were analyzed using Spss software. Findings: Architecture is an architectural show that is very popular and in which all the architectural elements have appeared only to show off and only as an imitation of other styles and architecture of other countries. without having anything to do with the original culture, identity and architectural patterns of its region. in a clear way like what has been revealed in our country and in today's society. Conclusion: The results of the research showed that political and cultural factors after the revolution have strongly influenced the formation process of residential buildings in these areas, and year by year the face of these buildings has distanced itself from its native culture and identity and has moved towards the West and modernization. In this regard, the issue of globalization has not been without effect. In Iran and after the revolution, a special trend towards postmodern culture was formed, which is a direct result of globalization. Postmodern culture is in opposition to macro narratives and changes the identity from the macro form to relative, micro, local and regional identities, which are formed in the form of cultural mixing in the contemporary world of global culture. Therefore, the non-western world cultures, which still lack theoretical creation, show the existential problems of western thought, which is clearly visible in the buildings of these regions.     Manuscript profile

        Theileria ovis is one of the benign hemoprotozoal agents in sheep and goat in tropical and subtropical regions which is transmitted by ixodid ticks. This study was carried out on 400 randomly selected healthy goats for determining the distribution of T. ovis. After preparing the blood smears, they were examined staining by Giemsa method for microscopic studies. In order to molecular diagnosis, DNA was extracted from blood samples. Subsequently, the genomic DNA from piroplasms was first extracted and then amplified with the primer pair using hyper variable region V4 of 18S rRNA for simultaneous differentiation of Theileria and Babesia. Differential diagnosis of Theileria ovis from T. annulata and T. lestoquardi was performed using Semi-nested PCR technique on the PCR products with primers specific derived from hyper variable region V4 of 18S rRNA, P2, P3 for T. ovis and with primers specific derived from ms1-2 gene for T. lestoquardi (P4, P6) and T. annulata (P5, P6). The results of microscopic examinations showed that 1.7 % (7/400) were positive for the presence of T. ovis in comparison to T. ovis which were 6% (24/400) in Semi-nested PCR. The results of present study revealed that T. ovis is detectable in goats without any clinical manifestation. Therefore, the goats can be served as reservoirs of the infection for ticks and transmission agents of this parasite to the sheep.  Manuscript profile

        The needing or not needing a master is one of the important issues to be considered in spiritual journey.A master is a person who is cognizant of the issues and can guide the person along the path of spiritual journey. Knowing the science of jurisprudence, having an accurate knowledge of the religious law, understanding divine sciences and intuition is necessary conditions for being a master. The wayfarer needs a general master at the beginning of the path and a special master until the end of the way.The religious way and reaching the truth is not possible except through the Sharia.The master who know Sharia will smooth the path and then will help the follower to reach his goal faster. Some do not believe in the necessity of following the master in spiritual journey. Allame Tehrani has critiques on the theory of not needing a master in spiritual journey.He declares the necessity of master, benefits and ways of knowing the master and problems and threats of the master’s absence, as well. Allame Tehrani scrutinizes not needing a master as being astray in spiritual journey and he has considered full obedience to the perfect master in diverse stages of his spiritual journey Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Metropolis of Tehran is one of the most polluted cities in the world. The present study aims to analyze the temporal-spatial behavior of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) in Tehran city. Material and Methodology: Thus, pollution- metric station data of Tehran Air Quality Control Company were used for evaluating the variations of air pollutants in temporal-spatial scales during 2013-2020. The results of statistical analysis of pollutant distribution in temporal-spatial scales were provided by using Arc GIS software and analytical function of inverse Distance Weighting interpolation (IDW) as maps, tables and graphs was demonstrated. Findings: Based on the results, particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) reached the minimum (65 and 23 µg/m3) and maximum concentration (81 and 30 µg/m3) at 18 and 24 p.m., respectively. In addition, maximum (81 and 30 µg/m3) and minimum concentration (73 and 23 µg/m3) of these pollutants was respectively related to Wednesday and Friday. Maximum seasonal concentration of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) relates to summer (90 µg/m3) and winter (35 µg/m3) respectively and the minimum seasonal concentration (65 and 24 µg/m3) of both pollutants relate to spring. The results of inverse Distance Weighting interpolation (IDW) indicated that west, south and central regions of Tehran in summer season involved with particulate matter (PM10) more than other regions. But in all seasons, except the western and southern regions, the central regions have a high concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5). Discussion and Conclusion: The particulate matter concentrations is more than its allowable limit in specific regions of Tehran in some yearly days and months. Therefore, city programmers and decision_ makers must have schedule table for particulate matter control management and air pollution reduction. Manuscript profile

        Introduction:The existence of mountains near Tehran has created an opportunity for economic development, and is suitable for citizens to spend their leisure time as well. The tourism growth trend in these areas, without taking into account the strategic planning, has led to adverse environmental impacts especially to mountain areas adjacent to Tehran Municipality Region 1 due to uncontrolled utilization. Therefore, the current study aims to assist the management and planning process in area under studyMaterial and Methods:This analytical-descriptive study has been carried out in three stages. In the first step, the Internal and External Factors Evaluation (IFE and EFE) matrixes were prepared to evaluate the current situation. In the second step, the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) matrix was developed, and accordingly strategies were presented. In the third stage, by preparing the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), the strategies were evaluated and prioritizedResults and Discussion:In the IFE matrix the highest weighted score was assigned to “create a structure named specific mountain area in Tehran Municipality Region 1”, and in the EFE matrix “low awareness of tourists about importance of mountains” is the highest. According to the results, 26 strategies extracted. Based on comparison of mentioned strategies, “preparation of the tourism master plan and equipping tourist services in partnership with related organization” is the first step towards strategic management goals in area under study, and “maintaining features and distinctive aspects of the valleys of southern slopes of Alborz with the aim of preserving the diversity of tourism products” is the second priority.

          Background and purpose: If sustainable urban development is considered as economic efficiency, social equality and environment protection, one major perquisite for its realization is optimization of urban land uses; otherwise the cities would suffer from sprawl or uncontrolled expansion. Various models have been proposed for understanding the city shape and its scattering measurement. Material and Methods: This work aims at calculating Tehran urban sprawl in various decades using different models including temporal analysis of urban density, quartile distribution, degree-balanced distribution, degree of aggregation and Holdern model, and its impact examines on nearby farms. Results: Findings of this work show that Tehran is shifting from concentration and gradual growth to excessive urban sprawl and rapid and uncontrolled growth. In The following, using satellite images of the years 1357 and 1385 we examines the rate of change of land use especially the quality and quantity of changes of farmland to urban uses with using ArcGIS software. The image has converted to maps through visual processing or visual interpretation. At the end with map have obtained with using compilation and synthesis method that can show to how land use changes during the period (28 years). Discussion and Conclusions: The results of research in this section indicate that the total agricultural land in study area in 1979 was about 38952 hectares that Half of which have been eliminated in the course of 28 years 1996- 2006 and have decreased directly or indirectly through urban development and reached 19.4 thousand hectares in 2006. If the growth and development of the city continues as sprawl distribution. The same amount of land will be destroyed in the future development. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objectives:Calculation of biodiversity indices of urban birds in Tehran in order to better understand the environmental conditions and improve or modify seems necessary. The aim of this study was to calculate the indicators of richness, biodiversity and bird uniformity in Tehran as a case study in the parks of the city, Mellat, Jamshidia and Ghaem.Methods: In this study, the birds were recorded by point counting and the indices were calculated using Ecological Methodology software.Finding: A total of 3723 birds were observed in 40 species of 8 orders and 19 families. 75% of all recorded species belonged to Passeriformes and among them the number of House Sparrows. Although the Ghaem park had the largest area among studied parks, had the least species richness and diversity and was the most abundance. The Shar park the oldest Tehran urban park located in the densely populated of the city, with the highest richness and species diversity and the lowest abundance, compared to the other parks.Discussion and Conclusion: The birds registered in the studied parks were mostly owned by the Passeriformes and half of them were native to Tehran. The area of the above boats does not necessarily mean that the birds are more diverse. According to the findings gathered in Park-e- Shahr located in the city center, We found out despite the presence of dense texture, the suitable space existed, attraction and capturing the birds were observed. The results of this research can provide an opportunity to study the factors affecting urban biodiversity indices and help environmental researchers, managers and urban planners to design a suitable green space to protect biodiversity and attract birds as one of the health habitat indicators and improve citizen’s quality of life.

        Background and Objective: Rate of pollution and so, different concerns about environmental effects of doing a project is becoming the main issue that capital cities increasingly are facing it. So, the purpose of this study was to assess and analyze the effects of strategic management on pollution reduction of oil refining processes in great Tehran area.Method: The present study is considered as a practical, descriptive and case study. The statistical population was managers of Tehran Oil Refinery (40 people) which were chosen by cluster sampling. Data was collected using a high reliability integrated questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha = more than 0.85) which was based on Delphi method and helped to identify and weigh the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats by SWOT. In the last analysis Friedman test used to determine the significance of each item. The best strategy was determined using QSPM (Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix).Findings: The findings indicated that "the strategic plan in the refinery to reduce the pollution from oil refining processes in Tehran refinery," "occupational diseases due to the lack of appropriate protective equipment for workers," "Future development plans to reduce pollution of refinery processes ", " Destruction of vegetation and land degradation” can be ranked respectively as Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of pollution reduction caused by oil refining processes.Discussion and Conclusion: Many environmental threats, resource degradation and pollution result in incompatible activities.  Besides, as oil industry development is so important and reduction of environmental pollution is crucial too, it is necessary that oil managers make policies and take steps to protect environment, expand and develop the petroleum industry.  The findings indicated that following strategies play a key role in reducing the pollution of oil refining processes:1-      Justify the oil industry officials about the importance of the Protection of environment by holding meetings and also enhancement of oil industry and environment organizations.2-      Training and improvement of technical knowledge of refinery’s employees about reducing oil pollutions.3-      Identifying and preventing some actions of oil refining processes that have negative effects on vegetation, environment and ecosystem.

        Background and Objective: In general, in recent decades, due to urban lives on the sidelines of rivers, dwellers of these areas have been the subject of damages caused by flood. The goal of this research is determining the vulnerability level of urban areas against flood in order to reducing human and financial losses. Method: For this purpose, Chung fuzzy analysis hierarchical process method (fuzzy AHP) is used due to the higher degree of possibility for weighting criteria of gradient, soil, distance from river, geology, height, land usage, and population. After weighting, the criteria of vulnerability in the environment ARCGIS were fuzzy and ultimately fuzzy operators were used for overlapping layers. Findings: To amend the obtained maps, algebraic multiplication and algebraic addition operators, Gamma 0.9, Gamma 0.7 and Gamma 0.5 operators were used. Obtained map from Gamma 0.7 operator was chosen as the final map of vulnerability for obtaining more appropriate result. Discussion and Conclusion: Therefore, considering the final map, and that the percentage of population density is over 1.07 in the eastern north of the area near Kan river, the possibility of vulnerability is proposed to be high in that area. Also it is possible that unpermitted constructions in Kan and Vardavard River limits will lead to water aggregation and its sudden release in the area, and if the process of unpermitted constructions and population increase is continued in the area, it can be resulted that the possibility of vulnerability against flood may be high in Tehran District 22.

        Backgrounds and objectives: Population growth and excessive consumption of natural resources for the continuation of economic welfare, in addition to destroying the ecosystem has caused a shortage of life on the planet is vital to prevent any shortage of access to natural resources continue. This article estimates the ecological footprint of water and energy consumption (electricity and natural gas) of the household sector in the 22 districts of Tehran and estimates the environmental capacity of the mentioned resources. Analysis method: Estimating the ecological footprint of water and energy (electricity and natural gas) used in the household sector of Tehran refers to the negative relationship between the continuity of household activities and the ecological gap of the mentioned sources, which according to the results and their analysis, ecological gap more than 4 million hectares of water, electricity and natural gas consumption are available in the household sector of Tehran.To find the impact of practical solutions to reduce the ecological gap using SPSS software and Cochran test and also developing a questionnaire related to the use of resources in household,the most important factor in reducing the ecological gap is identified. Findings: Based on the results obtained and their analysis, the ecological gap of over 4 million hectares is due to the excessive use of water, electricity and natural gas in the household sector of Tehran. After estimating the ecological gap, questionnaires were distributed to clarify the causes of household waste loss. According to the statistical society, in the assessment of the questionnaire, the population of the 22nd household in Tehran was considered to be 2 million and 830thousand households.To create uniformity of analysis, the households were based on a population of 3, Then through the Cochran formula, 1100 households were sampled and they were randomly selected. Discussion and conclusion: The results of the questionnaire showed that the most important factor in reducing the ecological gap and having the optimal use of water in the household sector is reducing water consumption for washing cars,the most important factor for creating optimal power consumption in the household sector is using energy-saving bulbs.The most important factor for creating optimal consumption of natural gas in the household sector is the use of double-glazed windows and the least effective factor is the use of gas heaters proportional to the area of the houses.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Air pollution is one of the significant problems that have become one of the main issues. In this study, we focus on detecting the route and source of atmospheric pollutant movement in high-level air pollution periods in Tehran. Method: Air pollution data, Terra MODIS satellite image data, and FNL data were used. The PSI calculated high-level air pollution periods for PM10 and O3. Moreover, the origin of pollutants was detected by the HYSPLIT model and satellite images. HYSPLIT model determined the origin of widespread pollution. It could detect them with the backward method in three levels, which included 10, 1500, and 5000 meters. Some maps were produced for satellite images and HYSPLIT models drawn in GIS. Findings: In the extratropical pattern, the dust from Syria, northeast to south-east Saudi Arabia, central, northern and southern Iraq and parts of Turkey have affected Tehran. According to HYSPLIT model outputs, at a lower level of the atmosphere and the middle level of the atmosphere, not only the local situation but also the regional situation had a considerable role. At the upper level of the atmosphere, environmental pollution could become into Tehran by streams. In the compound pattern, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and some parts of Turkey had an important function. In the HYSPLIT model, the North-East and North-West of Iran have attempted to influence Tehran in the lower level of the atmosphere. In the middle level of the atmosphere, the local situation is more remarkable. At the upper level of the atmosphere, the origin of dust was western to eastern parts of Iraq and the northeast part of Iraq. Further, the dust on the north-eastern of Syria, Jordan, and parts of Turkey is more notable. Conclusion: These maps were categorized into two main synoptic patterns, including extratropical and intricate patterns. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Increasing consumption of chemical compounds in industrial processes has led to the accumulation of pollutants, including heavy metals, which are very costly and difficult to absorb from the environment. The purpose of this applied research is to investigate the level of cadmium, chromium and lead contamination in the soil of western Tehran using pollution, enrichment and land geoaccumulation indices and pollution factors.Material and Methodology:  In order to evaluate the concentration of heavy elements in the study area, sampling was done in all three areas of District 21 of Tehran Municipality and 10 samples from each area with three replications and a total of 90 samples were prepared in the spring of 2020 and the concentrations of cadmium, lead and chromium in Soltani acid extract was measured using an atomic absorption spectrometer. The present study is one of the descriptive-analytical researches and its data are of primary type which has been prepared by two methods of documentary and field studies.Findings: The accumulation of these elements has been created in the surface soil. The mean concentrations of the studied elements in zones two and three were higher than one. The topsoil of area three had higher amounts of lead, cadmium and chromium than the other two areas, but these values were not significantly different from area two. The average amounts of lead, chromium and cadmium for the region were 38.1, 9.1 and 1.6 mg/kg, respectively. The enrichment index in zones two and three was more than one, but the numerical value of this index was less than one in zones one. Geoaccumulation index values for lead element in all three areas showed non-contaminated to slightly contaminated class and for cadmium and chromium showed non-contaminated class. The numerical value of the contamination factor, except for cadmium and in zone one, in other cases is one and more than one, which indicates the high concentration of these elements compared to the background concentration in the study area.Discussion and Conclusion: As a result of industrial and traffic activities, the accumulation of excess amounts of man-made elements in the study area has been created.

        Background and objective: The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of zinc metal in atmospheric dust and to assess its health risk during the winter of 1397 to the fall of 1398 in areas 9, 10, 11 and 12 of Tehran Municipality.Material and Methodology: For this purpose, two points in the west and east of region 9 and one point in the east of regions 11, 10 and 12 (the western parts of regions 10, 11 and 12 were adjacent to the east of the adjacent region) were determined and atmospheric dust was collected monthly for one year. A factorial experiment was performed in a completely randomized design with three replications. Experimental factors included sampling location and sampling time (seasons). The concentration of zinc was determined after extraction with hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid (3: 1 ratio). Finding: The results showed that the lowest concentration of zinc metal in winter and at point 9W (Tehransar) and 558.23 and the highest concentration of zinc metal in autumn and at point 11E (Vahdat-e-Islami Street) was 1835.3 mg / kg. The concentration of zinc and the amount of atmospheric dust increased from west to east and with the passage of winter to autumn. The health risk assessment was based on the US Environmental Protection Agency's EPA development method.Discussion and Conclusion:  The results showed that swallowing atmospheric dust was the main route of exposure to zinc, and more than 90% of the risk index for non-cancerous zinc metal diseases was related to HQ (ingestion risk equation). In winter, the amount of HQ and HI (cumulative risk index for non-cancerous diseases) was lower than safe level for zinc and for adults and children, and did not pose a health risk.

        Background and Objective: In order to achieve national services, the strategy of industrialization undoubtedly plays an important role in protecting the special and natural resources of its particular environment. It has been described to this extent and can be customized.Material and Methodology: The purpose of this research is applied based on purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature and method. The statistical population of the study is the citizens of Tehran. Questionnaire, observation and interview were used for data collection. SPSS software and one-group T-test were used for data analysis.Findings: The results show that there is a significant relationship between the development of industry in Tehran and environmental pollution (increased electronic and non-electronic waste, air pollution, etc.) and informal housing, but with social inequality (social class conflict, opportunity inequality, gender equality) has no significant relationship.Discussion and Conclusion: As the industry evolves, environmental and social consequences also emerge over time. As soon as developing countries adopt western technology, social structures change and the region's environment is affected by this development. Consideration of environmental and social impacts is widely needed in developing countries because of the underdeveloped economy and lack of appropriate scientific and technological infrastructure; development plans in these countries have a significant negative impact on biodiversity and the environment.

        Background and Objective: The study of the response and adaptation of the trees' leaves exposed to air pollutants is a good indicator of plant yield in contaminated environments. In this study, the effect of metal contaminants on changing the morphological traits of platanus orientalis leaves in Chitgar and Azadi Square in Tehran was investigated. Method: Two areas were selected for sampling. Area one was a low-traffic environment (from the interior space of Chitgar Park) and a high-traffic environment (Azadi Square). In each area, five healthy and disease-free tree base of plantain type (Platanus orientalis) were randomly selected at the shortest distance from the street. Completely healthy leaves were collected from the outermost part of each tree canopy from the street side in the first half of September. The leaves were collected at 10 to 11 am. To ensure that the stomata were open. The leaves were put in wrapped nylons in an ice tank with minimal hand contact and transported to the laboratory in the shortest time. Morphological traits of plantain leaves and stomata were measured. Metal concentration was also measured. Findings: Pb, Hg, Fe, Cu, Cr, Co, Cd, and Ni were more polluted than other metals and their toxicity in Azadi was more than Chitgar. The results of the study indicated that in the presence of heavy metal contaminants in the environment, the leaf length, width, area, fresh and dry weight, and the relative water content decreased while the dent per area unit, vein distribution per blade area, and special area of the leaf increased. As Cu increases, the leaf area decreases and the symptoms of Cholosis appear. The accumulation of cadmium, lead and nickel will reduce the size of Mesophile tissue and epidermal cells. Dry and fresh weight of platanus orientalis leaves in Azadi reduced in comparison to Chitgar. The decrease of dry weight is a complication of cadmium toxicity. Stomatal length, width, and size decreased while stomatal density increased. Stomatal strength, stomatal density, and stomatal size increased in upper leaf area. Discussion and Conclusion: By decreasing the contact surface with the pollutant and changing the stomatal size and density, platanus orientalis adjusts gas exchanges with the environment. The occurrence of these morphological adaptations increases the stability of platanus orientalis to the air pollutants stress.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Urban expansion causes fundamental changes in the ecological landscape structure and function and a gradual change in the spatial structure and pattern of the landscape. Due to the importance of understanding the components of urban environment and how to understand the interactions between these components, the aim of this study is the urban-rural gradient analysis of Tehran using landscape metrics to quantify the landscape pattern.Method: Research data were collected in 2019 and the combination of gradient analysis and landscape metrics has been used to quantify the pattern of Tehran landscape. Land use maps of Tehran were classified using Landsat 7 and 8 satellite images related to 2008 and 2018 in ENVI 5.3 in categories of built-in land, open land, vegetation land and water. For the gradients analysis, a number of 4km×4km transects were designed in the four main directions, and passing through region 12 of Tehran. To calculate the mestrics of Number of Patches, Patch Density, Edge Density, Percentage of Landscape, Mean Patch Size and Mean Shape Index on both landscape and class levels used the moving-window technique.Findings: From 2008 to 2018, urban development has increased the Patch Density in the landscape. So in the central transect the continuity of the landscape has decreased and the fragmentation of the structural components has increased. At the level of the landscape, the Number of Patches and the Edge Density have increased dramatically. However, the Mean Patch Size and the Mean Shape Index have decreased. At the class level, the Mean Patch Size of open lands and built-in land has increased.Discussion and Conclusion: Along transects in addition to land use changes, Shape and Patch Density have also changed, and the process of these changes along transects is different. The percentage of built-in lands is the dominant matrix in transects near the commercial center of Tehran, and the area of vegetation lands and water has decreased from 2008 to 2018.  Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Leisure spaces are the most important functional areas of the city. Convenient access to these spaces can be effective in balancing the soul of citizens. Because the type of access is measured based on the distance and arrival time from one place to another, we can realize the crucial role of the network in this regard.Method: In this paper which has been done by descriptive analytic method using library and field data collecting, access to leisure spaces in district 9 of Tehran were analyzed in relation to the street network. In this way, access to 11 types of leisure spaces in four land use functions (parks and green space, sports, cultural and entertainment) were evaluated using network analysis.Findings: Levels of access assessment were including the good, average and poor levels and the results showed that access to the sport centers is mostly good and access to the parks, green spaces and catering spaces is relatively good, but access to the cultural spaces is average and poor. In terms of access quality, district 9 of Tehran is divided into two parts, east and west that the western half has better access to leisure spaces than another.Discussion and Conclusion: Also, the results of integrated access to leisure facilities map showed that access to leisure facilities along major arterial streets is better than near parts of blocks. This is especially clearly marked in the eastern half of the area. The result of this problem is exclusion the inside parts of neighborhoods and the rise of inequality in access to leisure spaces.

        Background and Objective: Nowadays, cities are growing at an unprecedented rate which has caused significant challenges. Among these turbulences, we must seek a comprehensive and fundamental solution to improve the quality of life. The city prosperity model presented by the United Nations Human Settlements Program in 2012 offers a new approach to urban prosperity and sustainability. This paper while discovering and studying the relationship between city and prosperity indicators, develops the most commonly used model in the world and creates a native model for measuring, identifying opportunities and promoting cities with an emphasis on the quality of life component in urban prosperity approach. Material and Methodology: In the theoretical part, this research has been conducted based on descriptive and analytical methods; and by conducting library studies and analyzing the attitudes associated with the city prosperity model and the concept of quality of life, it attempts to document and extract the components, dimensions and indicators of these two categories. These indicators were tested through 380 questionnaires in neighborhoods of Tehran metropolitan and then, using factor analysis statistical method, significant factors were selected. Findings: Using factor analysis, the 22 main factors of urban prosperity were identified based on the data of the neighborhoods of Tehran. Each of these factors, which have a more semantic and functional relationship, were expressed in the 6 main dimensions of urban prosperity in the proposed model. Finally, the developed and localized model of urban prosperity was presented emphasized on the quality of life component. Discussion and Conclusion: The proposed model can be very effective in achieving sustainable urban development, improving the quality of life and measuring the prosperity status in cities of Iran, It can be presented as a Localized and developed example of the global city prosperity model, which is a reliable measure for reviewing, analyzing and prioritizing urban actions.

        Background and Objective: Improper development of city, changes in socio-economic structure, mismatch of adjacent areas and inattention of urban management to historical areas on one hand and the opportunity for proper development and investment around the city on the other hand, have led to declining quality of life in historical neighborhoods and excluding from urban development process. Versus, returning to infill development principle and revitalization of lost urban spaces by creating attractiveness in historical contexts could be a stimulus for development of these areas. In this regard, implementation of urban catalyst projects in urban historical contexts is inevitable. This applied research seeks to explain and prioritize lay outing criteria of urban catalyst project in historical contexts. For this purpose, historical context of region 12 of Tehran despite of its valuable historical potential was selected in the center of old city of Tehran.Material and Methodology: This research is descriptive-analytical and uses Fuzzy Network Analysis (FANP) method to prioritize criteria. Thus, after studying the theoretical fundamental of research by documentary-library method, appropriate criteria for lay outing urban catalyst project were weighted by factor analysis method and entered in the Super Decisions software for evaluation.Findings: findings show that pedestrian priority, job creation and capital attraction are the most important criterion among the criteria for lay outing urban catalyst projects in the historical context of region 12 of Tehran. Also, the least importance was given to improving public transportation, reviving cultural and historical heritage and environmental quality criteria.Discussion and Conclusion: It could be concluded that facilitating pedestrian movement and creating employment play a significant role in lay outing urban catalyst project in historical context. Unlike popular belief that revitalization of cultural and historical heritage is the most important factor in stimulating the historical area, this criterion was ranked among the least important criteria.

        Background and Objective: With population growth and urban development, humans gradually went away from nature. Over-population density and human-made environments have increased the human environmental, physical and mental needs. In order to meet these needs, urban man has created parks inside the cities. The purpose of this study is to prioritize citizens' satisfaction indices from parks and urban green spaces using the topsis model in parks of Tehran. Material and Methodology: The research method is descriptive, analytical and survey. The information was collected by completing the questionnaire by visitors to the park and finally the questionnaires were analyzed. Findings: The data analysis showed that most respondents were in the age range of 20 to 40 years old, had a free job, and had a diploma or a bachelor's degree. Their motivation from going to the park was resting and their access to park was a personal vehicle. Indicators of citizens' satisfaction from parks were determined based on the topsis model. In this model, green space and boards had the lowest and the most distance from ideal point, respectively. According to the similarity index, among the 23 criteria, the green space and the area of the park ranked first and second, respectively, and the boards and trash bin were ranked 22 and 23, respectively. Based on multivariate method, cluster analysis, citizens' satisfaction criteria from parks was divided into three groups. The criteria that had the highest, the lowest and the average satisfaction rates for the people were in the first, second and third groups, respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the cluster analysis, people's satisfaction with the elements of conducting the competition in the park, the green area in the spring, the size of the green space, the area of the park and the variety of flowers and trees were more than other elements.     Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Traditional Iranian markets, despite many changes in urban life and the passage of time, still retains its special place within cities. Meanwhile, the traditional bazaar of Tehran is one of the examples of the country's markets in terms of antiquity, size, geographical and political location since the Qajar era, which due to its unique architecture, physical structure, has given a desirable quality to the urban space. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the text layers (Sarai Amir and Navab) using the system of physical codes and semantic meanings from Bart's point of view to deeply understand the semantic underlying layers of the work. Material and Methodology: This research has been done qualitatively and from the descriptive-analytical method using the layer semiotics method from the intertextual point of view to study the different layers of the text (architectural effect). In this research, the text layers (function, form and meaning) of Amir and Navab saras have been studied in three main categories: explicit meaning, implicit meaning and ideological meaning. Findings: It also indicates that each layer of text contains multiple layers of meaning that is created by placing the layers together in different time axes and the continuity of the previous layers. With the help of intertextual reading, in addition to recognizing the surface layers of the work, He realized a deep understanding of the hidden layers of meaning.   Discussion and Conclusion:  Recognition of physical codes of the architectural text has been done with emphasis on intertextual relations (analysis with various meanings and surface and lower layers) and physical sign system and semantic code system.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Tehran has experienced extensive population growth in the last decades, leading to a high rate of urban expansion. Land use/land cover (LULC) patterns have noticeably been changed to impervious surfaces that led to the changes in the thermal condition and forming heat islands in this city. So this study wants to evaluate the landscape and the Land surface temperature patterns via using the landscape metrics on a proper scale in Tehran. Material and Methodology:  In this study, a combination of remote sensing, GIS and landscape ecology approach is used to explain the relationship between land use/cover patterns and land surface temperature in Tehran's urban area. We used ETM + Landsat satellite images of February 28, 2013 to create a five class LULC map of the area through Linear Spectral Mixture Analysis and the maximum algorithm methods. Also, Land Surface Temperature map were prepared according to the available methods for thermal band of the sensor and were presented in four zones. Then, the relationship between LST and land use/cover was investigated using 7 landscape metrics (e.g MPS, PAFRAC, COHESION). Findings: We found that impervious surface has the highest percentage of class and mean patch size, cohesion and aggregation, and landscape metrics very well described the LST zone II with impervious surface dominance. Also, the results showed that the 30 m pixel size is good enough for assessing the spatial and ecological characteristics of LULC patterns and their relationships with LST in Tehran Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed the possibility of assessing the relationship between LST and LULC based on the landscape metrics. The findings can be useful for urban planners and environmental managers to decrease urban heat pollution during urban sprawl and development. Manuscript profile

        Noise pollution is one of the important issues of environmental pollutant in metropolitan areas and is almost one of the hazardous agents, which causes discomfort for residents and disturbs the work efficiency. Schools are the most important areas for assessment of noise pollution, because Poor acoustical conditions in classroom directly affect to speech, perception and learning of students. The present study was conducted in Tehran city, during 2004 - 2005. In this study, 90 schools were randomly sampled. Schools consisting of primary, secondary and high school. In each school 103 parameters consist of noise characteristics and acoustic condition inside and outside of schools were measured and estimated. After the base calculation conducted of 158 data record for each sample, the research data was transferred into Excel and SPSS data sheet for statistical analysis. The results showed that the mean of Leq in classroom (in normal condition) were 71.98 ± 6.54 dB (A). The mean absorption index of internal absorbed area surface of classroom was 4.55± 2.07 sabin.m2 and the mean of the reverberation time was 3.65 ± 0.79 sec. The mean values of the transmission loss of the walls between classrooms were estimated 26.50 ± 2.37 dB and for outside were 29.72 ± 2.26 dB. Results showed that 70.6% of background noise index in classroom and 61.1% of Leq was in impermissible condition. Results also showed that 99% of street side walls and 100% of separator walls had a non efficiency to isolation of noise transmission. Analysis of the results showed that, the internal sources were the main cause of noise pollution in studied schools. Improvement acoustic reform by using of tile acoustics, control of opening in doors and windows and education for noise reduction in studied schools, and site selection and acoustic base designing for future construction were proposed.

        Environmental pollution in metropolitans due to rapid growth of using gasoline as the main fuel in transportation sector has become one of the most important problem in national level, so substituting clean fuels in this sector could be one of the most effective options. The main question which this research is going to answer is the beneficiary (non-beneficiary) of converting Tehrans taxis from gasoline to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in order to decrease social costs that should be interpreted as increasing social benefits factor. In this article, after reviewing the current concepts and principles of social costs and their measuring methods, social benefits of substituting gasoline with CNG are evaluated. Considering the existing figures, reduced social costs as a result of this substitution are calculated. The results of this research suggests that substituting gasoline with CNG in Tehrans taxis reduces the social costs of using gasoline (about 63.8 Million US $). As a matter of fact this substitution increases the social benefits equivalent at mentioned figure. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Ambient air quality is a major concern in highly urbanized and industrialized regions such as Tehran. Method: In this paper, the spatial distribution of 4 air pollutants in Tehran atmosphere was analyzed. The analyzed air pullutants were Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3) and atmospheric particulate matters less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10). For this purpose, 4 common geostatistical interpolation methods namely: Ordinary Kriging (OK), Universal Kriging (UK), Sample Kriging (SK), and Ordinary Cokriging (COK) with Gaussian modeled semivariogram, were used to estimate the continuous surface for the 4 mentioned air pollutants. The data were collected from 21 air quality monitoring stations located in different districts of Tehran during a 2-year period from 2012 to 2013. The Kriging interpolation schemes are stochastic, local, gradual and exact interpolators. After preprocessing the collected data, they were imported to GIS by using metric coordinate system (UTM Zone 39). Finally, the Kriging predicted map was evaluate using 3 statistical indices of validation namely: Mean Absolute Error (MBE), Mean Bias Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) that can be divide into systematic and unsystematic errors (RMSEs, RMSEu). Findings: The results indicated that, using 2 auxiliary variables, the OCK is the optimum schema for spatial estimation of CO and NO2 pollutants in Tehran. Moreover, SK is found out as the best model for spatial estimation of NO2 and CO. According to optimal model, the highest concentrations of ozone (O3) and particulate matters greater than 10 microns (PM10) are observed in the marginal areas of Tehran, while the highest concentrations of CO, NO2 are observed in the central and northern districts of Tehran such as districts 1 to 4. Conclusion: The developed optimized model can be used for real time estimation of any pollutants in Tehran atmosphere by updating the observed data Manuscript profile

        Producing thousands of tons of glass wastes inTehran, caused by daily, industrial and commercial activities, has made recycling an inevitable issue. Burying or leaving these recyclable wastes in the suburbs is considered a factor causing environmental problems. Besides, the country’ wealth is wasted as a result of burying or burning such wastes. According to the statistics released by Tehran Municipality Recycling Organization, glass constitutes 2.2 percent of the total weight of solid wastes. Some 52,226 tons of glass is produced inTehranannually, of which unfortunately only a small amount is recycled and the rest is buried with other wastes. In fact, the average monthly rate of glass recycling is about 2 percent in the city ofTehran. Glass recycling leads to saving resources and raw materials, reducing energy consumption, cutting down expenses, decreasing landfills and environmental pollution such as air and water pollution as well as reducing the release of greenhouse gases, providing job opportunities, and increasing the cooperation and general knowledge of people. Recycling can be used to achieve the goal of sustainable development and preservation of resources and environment. Therefore, the authorities are expected to care for the proper, scientific recycling of glass waste and to prevent this valuable material from being buried or left in the environment.   Manuscript profile

        In this research, carbon monoxide as one of the pollutants in the city of Tehran was studied during the execution of Comprehensive Plan for the Reduction of Air Pollution (1999-2005) to evaluate the success of the said plan in lowering this pollutant. To this end, statistical data of the Air Pollutants Measurement Stations in Tehran were analyzed using the Excel software in which the daily level of carbon monoxide was measured and then based on the daily rates, the relative monthly and annual rates were calculated. Studying the trend of changes in the city’s carbon monoxide level, it can be concluded that the execution of this plan has not been effective in lowering the level of CO pollutant to the expected extent, but due to the increasing trend in the number of motor vehicles, considered to be the main source for producing CO in the city, the plan has been able to prevent the increase of this pollutant. Due to the stable trend of changes in the CO level in Tehran and also to the dissatisfaction with this trend, the researchers tried to review the Comprehensive Plan for the Reduction of Air Pollution which has been executed since 2000 so that the success of the plan in lowering the level of CO pollutant can be witnessed in the remaining years of the Plan (2006-2010).

          Background and Objective: An integrated model of life cycle assessment and hierarchical analysis was developed to determine the best practical method for municipal solid waste disposal. The model used for environmental and technical assessments of scenarios included (A) landfilling of wastes without energy extraction; (B) waste incineration with energy recovery and ash burial; and (C) production of compost from the organic components and landfilling other wastes. Method: In order to conduct environmental assessments, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) was estimated by life cycle of the disposal method. Technical evaluations were carried out based on the hierarchical analysis method and a survey of experts. In order to analyze the results of the proposed model, Tehran city in Iran was selected as a case study. Findings: The highest greenhouse gas emissions occurred in scenario A, and the lowest was associated with scenario B. Maximum discounts on emissions from burning putrescible wastes, paper and cardboards were obtained in scenario B. In contrast, landfilling of such wastes in scenarios A and C was the main source of methane production. Although the incineration of plastic wastes might lead to more energy extraction in scenario B, the generation of non-biological CO2 had an incremental effect on GHG emissions. Scenarios A and C had a relatively high superiority over scenario B from the perspective of most technical criteria, but the probability of leachate in these scenarios reduced their technical advantages. Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the combination of evaluations, the method of landfilling without energy extraction is the most inappropriate option, and waste incineration with energy extraction leads to the lowest greenhouse gas emissions and is technically acceptable.

In this article, after reviewing the current concepts and principles of social costs and their measuring methods, social benefits of substituting gasoline with CNG are evaluated. Considering the existing figures, reduced social costs as a result of this substitution are calculated. The results of this research suggests that substituting gasoline with CNG in Tehrans taxis reduces the social costs of using gasoline (about 63.8 Million US $). As a matter of fact this substitution increases the social benefits equivalent at mentioned figure Manuscript profile

        AbstractIntroduction & Objective: Air pollution is one indication of the urbanization, populationincensement, excessive use of fossil fuel resources, lack of utilizing environmentally friendlytechnologies and most importantly lack of proper environmental management are some the factorswhich play big roles in this matter. Establishment more than ten million people and excessiveconcentration of industries and factories, alongside with the geographical situation, topography andspecific climatic region, have made Tehran one of the seven polluted cities in the world. In theassessment of air quality, concentration of carbon monoxide gas (CO), among the various pollutants,has a main role and importance.Materials & Methods: In this study, the probability of persistence of two to seven days unauthorizedamounts of pollutants CO in city of Tehran was investigated. For this purpose, the 5-year data (2002-2006) related to five stations measuring air quality of pollution control companies of Tehran werecollected and then using first-order, two-state Markov chain were modeled.Results & Discussion: Results showed that the highest probability of persistence of pollutant CO existin Fatemi station, Bazar and Aqdasiyeh stations are sat at next orders. Many months of the year,Fatemi station has the highest probability of CO and two stations, Bazar and Aqdasiyeh, are located innext ranks. Meanwhile, the persistence of pollutant CO in Shahr-e-Rey station compared to otherstations is the least. Manuscript profile

        Varjin Protected area is an estimated 26907 hectares of mountainous terrain located in Lavasanat and Roodbar Ghasran, districts in the Northeast of Tehran. Owing to its spectacular nature and its proximity to Tehran, Varjin protected area is considered to be an area with rich potentials for implementation of Tourism. The present study was an attempt to carefully examine the environmental capability of the area to further its extensive and centralized applicability. To do so, after detecting the ecological resources of the protected area (scale 1/100000) the obtained data was introduced to Arc GIS 9.2 software. Since implementation and applicability of outdoor recreation necessitated synchronized evaluation of numerous criteria or variables, the study utilized spatial multi criteria evaluation method (SMCEM). And therefore, the initial attempts focused on preparation and standardization of the criteria maps. Fuzzy expert system and s-shaped functions were used for the purpose of the study. Overall, data were obtained through sixteen layers as criteria maps for extensive outdoor recreation capability evaluation and seventeen layers for spatial evaluation of centralized outdoor recreation. Using Expert Choice software, analytical hierarchy process was conducted to load the criteria in relation to the type of applications. Then, the mathematical relationship of the extensive and centralized outdoor recreation was extracted. To analyze land proportion for the development of the expected applications, combined loaded linear method was utilized and the final map of extensive versus centralized applications were represented on the criteria maps data. The results show that nearly 4641.46 hectares (approximately %17.25) of Varjin protected area has suitable extensive outdoor recreation implementation, while nearly 1915.78 hectares (approximately %7.12) has the ideal conditions for centralized outdoor recreation development.

        In past times, Tehran citys solid waste management was included mostly collecting and burying waste. Environmental knowledge was increased over times due to improvement in environment technology and sciences and so the relationship between the public health and environment became more obvious. Main waste producer sections are trading centers such as hotels and restaurants which mostly produce semi-household wastes. According to studies undertaken on District 6 of Tehran city, hotels are the main waste producers. The most part of waste composition includes organic and regenerative matters with plant-and animal-based origin (70%). So solid waste management must concentrate mostly on such materials separations and compost production. Hotels solid waste management is a topic which yet no study has been implemented about it or if any, there is no publication in general and expertise libraries about the subject. The present study has been carried out since 1385 to 1386 aiming to investigate the current status of solid waste management dominated on Tehrans hotels. There are 72 hotels, 180 hostels and 160 restaurants in the city. Study areas include waste production rate, distinction of physical composition, Storage, collecting and transportation systems. To improve waste management task it is necessary to obtain required knowledge about these steps. Data gathering with respect to hotels solid waste management was performed through referral for sampling (random selection), physical analysis and questionnaire completion in which the later was carried out with 11 copies for hotels in District 6. The questionnaires have been standardized according to Delphi method. Among hotels with various ranking in service delivery quality, two hotels were selected randomly and considered for investigation, (in some cases with seemingly more changes, the number was increased to 4 hotels). Sampling of two hotels (Enghelab and Azadi) in the District was carried out with 3 referrals for Physical analysis and waste fractions weight was measured separately. Above mentioned trading units have been selected randomly for physical analysis and because of waste composition similarities in hotels (due to undertaken studies), a bin was selected randomly for every trading unit which then was analyzed physically. Step sampling method has been introduced for final conclusion. Based on the project findings, hotels’ waste production per capita is bout 1-1.5 kg. It was also observed that waste separation is not undertaken in 36.3 percent of hotels but 63.6 percent do the task mostly for dried bread. The study shows the average percent of waste physical composition in hotels is as following: 75.8% wet residual, 14.6% plastic, 1.5% metal cans, 2.5% paper, 3% glass and 2.5% other materials. It was also shown that 27 percent of hotels were not equipped with bin and 45 percent had 1.2 and 3 bins, 27 percent had more than 4 bins. Waste collecting procedure is carried out in un-mechanized collection system in 27.3 percent of hotels which 36.4 percent of them are satisfied with mechanical waste collection and 36.4 percent are very satisfied with the method Manuscript profile

        Lead is one of the heavy metals with a bluish grey color, an atomic number of 82, an atomic mass of 207.19, a spouting point of 1740, and a melting point of 327.43. Lead plays an important role in battery and military industries, making alloys, fuel additives, etc. Lead consumption in the world will reach 9 million tons by the year 2010. This is a cross-sectional study in Tehran municipality district one. In this study, 32 air samples were collected during 105 days from 4 February to 19 May 2008. An S2 Low Volume Sampler pump and a fiberglass filter with a porosity of 3 Micron were used. The filters were analyzed with Spect AA220 atomic absorption apparatus. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software and then compared with the EPA standard rates.  The results of the study show that the mean lead concentration in the air is 0.308 micrograms in m³   (the standard EPA is 1.5 micrograms in m³). The results also indicate a positive relationship between air temperature and concentration of lead (p< 0.05, r = 0.613). Moreover, there is a significant difference between mean lead concentration and the distance of stations (p< 0.05, ANOVA = 0.045). It can be concluded that some important variables such as air temperature, distance of stations, and pollution of local industries are the potential factors of air pollution in Nobonyad Square, Tehran Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Urbanization and increase in imperious surfaces, in many cases, have led to increase of runoff volumes and flooding in downstream areas. One of the useful methods for reduction of flood risk in urban areas is urban runoff harvesting to be used for non-potable purposes. In this study, according to urban development in region 22 of Tehran and increased risk of flooding, as well as the need for green spaces development, it was attempted to implement urban runoff harvesting to supply a part of water required the green spaces in this area. Method: For this purpose, green spaces of region 22 were identified and then water requirements of different species in one year was estimated using a questionnaire filled by specialists. The annual runoff volume was also calculated. Findings: Result of the calculations showed that water requirement of green spaces is 14,969,534 cubic meters while the average annual runoff volume was estimated as 33,285,441 cubic meters. According to the results, if only a quarter of the runoff (8,321,360 cubic meters) is controlled by special management, it would be possible to provide 5,55% of the water required for irrigation of green spaces, which is currently supplied by tankers and is costly. Discussion and Conclusion: Finally, some methods such as earth dams, Crescent- shaped stacks and diamond-shaped stacks were suggested as a good models for water harvesting in places such as Cheetgar Forest Park, Vardavard, Letman and Khargooshdare.

Commercial usage is one the most important urban usage wich affects other urban activities. It is worth noting that people are actively deal with space and always with the business and related information. Individual placement in a convenient location from an environmental perspective and getting it by all senses will be able to actively respond to the environment and it will draw the attention to the environment. Due to the remoteness of the hospitals, railway stations and close to natural areas such as parks, subjective factors such as the appearance of intimacy, originality and vitality affected and will affect the ability to invite people. Method: In this regard, appropriate measures to study the documents formulation and using the AHP model value of each criterion, relative to other criteria determined and to each of the relevant criteria weights. Finally, the resulting weights in layers of criteria and multiplication using fuzzy compounds   layers were combined. Results: Integrated data showed that the 2 with more favorable situation than the 1 and the area as well as with situation better than 3 areas with different importance is the best place to create trade center. Conclusion: Region 17 of Tehran withpopulation of more than 358 thousands suffers from adequate access to 3 district municipality and this matter makes the costs of access to urban services increase.

        Background and Objective: Urban development reduces the permeability and increases surface runoff. The Increased runoff has encountered urban areas with many threats on the one hand and provided an opportunity on the other hand and both necessitate the management of runoff in urban areas. Zoning of rainfall and runoff are undeniable because of the major land uses in Region 2 of Tehran city which includs residential land uses, highways, and green space respectively for various return periods in order to identify those areas with high potential for surface runoff to achieve management goals. Method: The method employed in this study is SCS-CN in GIS software based on Maximum 24-hour rainfall data for a time period of 14 years collected from Rain-gauge stations around Region 2 of Tehran. Findings: The findings are determination of a common statistical period between stations used, homogeneity test, adequacy, reconstruction of incomplete data to calculate the return periods of 100, 50, 25 and 5 years to conduct zoning for the maximum 24-hour rainfall, and also construction of curve number layer based on the type of land use, effective coefficient, penetration and retention of surface using relations in the model to conduct runoff zoning in various return periods. Conclusion: The results show that the highest potential for generation of runoff is related to residential and highway land uses in eastern part, and the lowest potential is related to slopped parts in the central and north districts with green space land use that should be put under management priority. This indicates the importance of land-use in creating the potential of runoff, so that this importance makes the prominent factor of slope totally ineffective.  Manuscript profile

        Abstract Background and Objective: Population increases day to day and causes some difficulties which are more noticeable, especially in urban areas such as Tehran as one of the most populated cities in the world. Nowadays, these difficulties highlights the role of sustainable development. Needless to say, inequality in urban life is sign of failure in fulfilling of sustainability development. Based on multidimensional features of sustainable development paradigms and existence of different attitudes, it is difficult to have a perfect and multidimensional consensus in this field. Different attitudes and evaluation of sustainability methods signify the substantive dimensional issues such as environmental, social and economic features. In many societies, despite the resources, high-quality environment and high rate of social and economic features, failure in reaching sustainable development goals can be observed. Thus, it seems that investigation of of dimensions and indexes of sustainability and holistic attitude in this field can provide a new attitude towards societies. Attaining sustainability in this field needs a holistic cognition of the existing condition of the society for planning and giving strategies to reach advance rate of sustainable development in society. The aim of this study is to investigate the sustainability of urban life in Districts 7 and 22 of Tehran municipality with different attitudes by considering dimensions of sustainability in terms of substantive and procedural criteria. Substantive criterion includes environmental, social and economic indexes and these features not only exist in deep layers of society but also can change according to other conditions and are affected by sustainable development policy. Another criterion which is normally ignored in the evaluation of sustainable development, is procedural index which is formed by the indexes acting independently as a political process in society. Method: In this regard, library and ocumentary studies, field observation, questionnaire and interviews were employed. The collected were analyzed by SPSS software and statistical method. Findings: The results show that District 22 is better in terms of both procedural and substantive indexes compared to District 7. Conclusion: Analyses show that District 22 not only receive high amount of investment in sustainable development by the local government (district municipality) but also supports some capacities which exist in the region. In addition to heightening the quality of management and local government, this district creates new capacities and helps in increasing the level of society. Manuscript profile

        Aims: Nowadays, air pollution has become a major problem in the populated areas such as Tehran and other large cities in Iran. In such areas, the spatial and temporal variations of air pollution are important. In this study, spatial distribution of air pollution over Tehran is considered in cold a season during acute air pollution periods while indicating the factors involved. Method: The air pollution data of 16 stations located throuought Tehran for the years 2011-2013 have been used to find contour maps of gaseous and particle mater pollutants using interpolation techniques of which Kriging was more appropriate. Results and discussion: Results of the investigations of spatial and temporal distributions of air pollutants during the acute air pollution periods which often occur in cold months over the city, showed that in December 2012 that the concentration of gasous substances increased northwards, while that of particle matter increased towards the southwest. The north-south gradients of CO are highest during the day especially in the midday, while they are reduced substantially during the night. This appears to be due to the atmospheric local circulation, mainly due to the northern mountains inducing katabatic and anabatic near surface winds during the nights and days respectively. The atmospheric boundary layer thickness (increasing southwards) seems also important in the spatial distribution. As expected, the mean vales of CO at nights are higher than those during the day because high stability conditions prevail during the nights particularly in this mountain surrounded city. Conclusion: The trends of concentration of particle matters in cold month show that it first increases in the southwest and west of the city and then by local wind circulation spreads towards the other parts of the city. This is probably due to the vicinity of the southern parts of the city to the more dry lands as well as the sources of the building construction industries. Larger air pollution anomalies are also found to occur for the particle matters during acute air pollution periods in cold season. Manuscript profile

        Environment and natural resources as a pavement of sustainable development, is considered as a supportive factor for natural life and cultural heritage of the human society. The increasing growth of population has caused the necessity for job substitution services. Limited resources and lack of capable pattern for development have caused a lot of pressure on environment and restoring natural resources. Destruction of environment and natural resources has attracted the attention of planners and policy makers as a global problem. The trend of environmental destruction and natural resources of our own country is not an exception from this rule. Education is recognized as a profitable investment in development process, especially sustainable development and establishing changes and reforms in order to prevent the destruction of the environment and restoring natural resources. One of the important accelerating factors is public training especially educating students. This process only would take place if the training and education is compatible with the right conditions. For this purpose, this research has been delivered on high school level students of the city of Tehran to find out their knowledge and awareness about the environment and protecting it. Population of this study is about 470,000 students. This is an applied research with the Descriptive-Correlation method. A questionnaire was used to collect information and data. Data is analyzed by using SSPS software. The results obtained from Spearman Correlation coefficient between independent parameters of age, parents education, listening to the radio programs, watching the television programs, having access to forest and green spaces, studying books about environment. With the related parameter of students’ awareness about environment indicated that, there is a significant relationship between mentioned parameters. The obtained results of individual effects of independent parameters on related parameter through the tests of Keruscal-Walis and Man White Nee, indicated that the independent parameters method of acquiring information, using of magazines, participation in related activities, participation in educational classes and membership in environmental organizations, have direct effects on students’ awareness about the environment. However, the parameters of genders, educational achievement, educational field, deferent student organizations and being a member or not having a membership in students’ organizations have no effects students awareness about the environment.

        Background and Objective: To employ HSE in industrial sector of Iran, evaluation of economic impacts of HSE is unavoidable. This would justify the financial costs of risk assessment and safety control for policy makers either in public and private sectors. On the other hand, considering the occurrence of fire in the subway system can cause catastrophic losses to the society. This study aimed at determining the economic losses caused by fire in Light Power Substation (LPS), and Rectifier substation (RS) in Tehran subway line 1. Method: After identification of the most important causes of fire hazard in LPSs in Tehran subway line 1 by applying fault tree analysis, economic losses caused by fire were determined using scenario techniques. Findings: The economic loss caused by fire in LPS by transformer fire scenario and 20 KV panel fire scenarios that have the highest occurrence probability, was determined to be about 3,980, and 6.410,milion Rials (based on the prices in 2012) respectively. The economic loss caused by fire in RS by transformer fire scenario and 750 KV panel fire scenarios was determined to be about 6,452, and 70,266 milion Rials respectively.  Conclusion: Considering the mentioned economic costs and consequences, a comprehensive risk analysis and emergency response planning are unavoidable necessities in Tehran subway system.

        Background and Objective: Regarding the vegetation's crucial role in urban environment, investigation on the change detection seems to be necessary. Therefore, the usage of remote sensing was noticed to be important to study the changes. Method: In this study, to estimate the qualitative changes of vegetation cover, the NDVI was applied and Tm and IRS images of 1990 and 2006 were used and vegetation maps of District 5 of Tehran municipality by underlining the different greenness levels were generated. Findings: Statistics revealed that the area of good and moderate greenness level vegetated lands decreased and the area of poor greenness level vegetated lands increased by 23.22, 684.27 and 299.43 ha respectively. It is important to mention that to find out the procedure of qualitative changes of the study area's vegetation cover post-classification change detection technique applied and results indicated that non-vegetated areas converted to poor and moderate greenness level vegetated lands by 0.9 and 186.48 ha respectively. Also the conversion of 419.58 ha of poor and 175.86 ha of moderate greenness level vegetated lands to non-vegetated lands was noticed.                                                                                                                Conclusion: The maximum amount of increased non-vegetated area and destroyed moderate and good greenness level vegetated lands were studied in region number 2. So, region number 2, in comparison with other six regions has been changed the most during 1990 to 2006. The equal amount of increased non-vegetated area and decreased vegetated area by 408.06 ha showed that land use changes have been accrued in study area, therefore conservation and increase the urban vegetated areas are important to develop urban master plans.                                                                                                                         Manuscript profile

        Aims: Nowadays, air pollution has become a major problem in the populated areas such as Tehran and other large cities in Iran. In such areas, the spatial and temporal variations of air pollution are important. In this study, spatial distribution of air pollution over Tehran is considered in cold a season during acute air pollution periods while indicating the factors involved. Method: The air pollution data of 16 stations located throuought Tehran for the years 2011-2013 have been used to find contour maps of gaseous and particle mater pollutants using interpolation techniques of which Kriging was more appropriate. Results and discussion: Results of the investigations of spatial and temporal distributions of air pollutants during the acute air pollution periods which often occur in cold months over the city, showed that in December 2012 that the concentration of gasous substances increased northwards, while that of particle matter increased towards the southwest. The north-south gradients of CO are highest during the day especially in the midday, while they are reduced substantially during the night. This appears to be due to the atmospheric local circulation, mainly due to the northern mountains inducing katabatic and anabatic near surface winds during the nights and days respectively. The atmospheric boundary layer thickness (increasing southwards) seems also important in the spatial distribution. As expected, the mean vales of CO at nights are higher than those during the day because high stability conditions prevail during the nights particularly in this mountain surrounded city. Conclusion: The trends of concentration of particle matters in cold month show that it first increases in the southwest and west of the city and then by local wind circulation spreads towards the other parts of the city. This is probably due to the vicinity of the southern parts of the city to the more dry lands as well as the sources of the building construction industries. Larger air pollution anomalies are also found to occur for the particle matters during acute air pollution periods in cold season.   Manuscript profile

        Forecasting the volatility of a financial asset has wide implications in finance. Conditional variance extracted from GARCH framework could be a suitable proxy of financial asset volatility. Option pricing, portfolio optimization and risk management are examples for implications of conditional variance forecasting. One of the most recent methods of volatility forecasting is Realized GARCH (RGARCH) that considers simultaneous model for both realized volatility and conditional variance at the same time. In this article, we estimate conditional variance with GARCH, EGARCH, GIR-GARCH and RGARCH with two realized volatility estimators using Tehran Exchange Price Index (TEPIX). We compared models, for in sample fitting, by the log likelihood value and used MSE and QLIKE lose functions to evaluate predicting accuracy. The results show that the RGARCH method for TEPIX outperforms the other methods in both ways. So, using RGARCH model in practical situations like pricing and risk management would tend to better results. Manuscript profile

        Given the growth and development of markets and financial instruments, investors and financial analysts need methods and models that enable them to select the best stocks with the highest return. In this study, effect of financial reporting transparency on CAPM model, three factor model of Fama and French and five factor model of Fama and French, has been investigated. Financial reporting transparency is measured using Tehran Stock Exchange Transparency Index.To test the hypotheses to data from 94 companies during the period from 1387 to 1396 and the time series regression method have been used. The results show that the five factor model of Fama and French have more predictive power than the three factor model of Fama and French and the CAPM model. Also according to the results, the value factor is not known as an exogenous factor. Also results show that adding transparency factor to all three models, enhances the predictive power of all three CAPM models, the three factor model of Fama and French and the three factor model of Fama and French.

        onsidering that the purpose of the stock exchange is to attract small funds and allocate them to the economy, especially production, so it is necessary to try as much as possible to make it as efficient as possible. The higher the cost-effectiveness of the capital market, the more investors' confidence in stock will increase, and their willingness to invest will increase. So if this confidence and trust is created in the investors, it will increase the possibility of attracting small savings and investments through stock exchange and injection. For this purpose, in this research, we will try firstly to test the efficiency of the Tehran Stock Exchange, and in the next step, suggestions are made to move from inefficiency towards the better functioning of the market to improve the quality of profit. Therefore, in this research, the role of stock market performance in the quality of companies' profits in Tehran Stock Exchange has been investigated. In this study, a sample of 172 companies has been used to measure the company's earnings quality. Multiple regression analysis showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between stock market stock performance and corporate earnings quality. Also, the other result showed that the amount of investment in the relationship between the performance of the stock market and the quality of corporate profits is ineffective. Manuscript profile

        AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the susceptibility of turbulence in returns between different industries of Iran's capital market for active industries in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period of 1384-1394. For this purpose, panel data and CCX criteria for risk avatars were used. The results of this study indicate that for the full period of the research sample and for considering the period of recession and crisis in the stock market, the results indicate the effects of overflow in the active industries in the stock market. Estimated coefficients for tipping effects in the sample indicate that in most of the companies surveyed, the effect of overturning is significant. Also, the estimated coefficients for considering the period of the crisis in the stock market indicate that the coefficients are positive for the effect of the outflow in the stock market. Also, in the case study, there is a probability of financial risk fluctuation between the investigated industries. Based on the results, it can be stated that the CCX value and the significant level reported in each section have a negative relation with the amount of direct and value related debt and investment activities. Therefore, the economic sectors that have high debt financing, low value and investment, are in the midst of financial crisis, the initial candidates for fluctuations and declining stock prices. Evidence suggests that those industries that are more competitive will expose the risk sequence more strongly. Manuscript profile

The statistical population of the study is all companies of the mass real estate industry in the Tehran Stock Exchange from 1390 to 1398. Data were analyzed in Eviews10 and MATLAB software. Predicting stock price behavior and the whole industry index by autoregressive methods and moving average in terms of random processes showed that the explained pattern can not be used to predict stock price behavior but in some random steps, the forecasting error was negligible. Regarding the forecast of stock price behavior, the last three steps of the process, winter have a significant effect on stock price forecast; But the first step has a significant effect on predicting the behavior of the industry index. In the first steps, the error of predicting the behavior of the industry index is very small and the explained model can be used to predict the behavior of the index in the first months of the year.

        Today, profit rates and the possibility of managing and manipulating the profits are clear to all, and researchers have always sought solutions to remove the uncertainties facing investors and stakeholders when making their financial decisions. To clarify users' decision path of financial data users, Beneish (1999) has developed a profit-management predicting model that has yielded different results in different societies. Thus, this article aims to optimize and localize Beneish’s model by adding the Tunneling variable to Beneish’s variable and using a modern neural network and particle swarm algorithms. The statistical research population consisted of 196 companies listed at the Tehran Stocks Exchange from 2014 to 2019. The research method was a descriptive-library method in which the variables are interrelated through the causal-correlational method. From an objective point of view, it is an Ex-Post Facto research design. To analyze the data, the regression method and artificial neural and the PSO algorithms were used. The model analysis results suggested that all financial ratios had significant effects on Beneish’s profit management, as the Tunneling phenomenon and the financial leverage had the highest and lowest effects on predicting Beneish’s profit management, respectively.

        Tversky and Kahneman in the70 s in a series of articles achieved to the development of applications of psychological knowledge in finance and economy and  these research gradually became known as behavioral finance in the 90s as a field of financial matters. This school of thought with find inability to existing models, which are based on full rationality and lack of arbitrage turned to psychology and the science of decision making and by using a combination of  these science and finance gain a better understanding of investment activity in the financial markets. The development of this approach has led the scientists noticed a behavior in investors that are inconsistent with the classic financial theories. These characteristics known as behavioral biases that explaining the systematic errors in people judgment. In recent years the nuclear talks and the progress or lack of progress always caused reactions by players in capital market of Iran. The discussion has became more serious in the second half of 1392, ie since the beginning of negotiations in New York and all market indicators, including indices, volume and value of transactions was increasingly affected by this event. In this study, it was determined that what is the reaction of active players in the capital market according to the news and rumors about nuclear talks and which of behavioral biases exist in their transactions. Therefore, after making a list of behavioral biases in a questionnaire, the experts commented about those and results and were analyzed and ranked using TOPSIS. Manuscript profile

        Determination and prediction of housing price in urban areas plays a significant role for governments, public and private enterprises, and financial evaluators. An accurate estimation of the housing price can be employed for future planning and decision making in many urban and regional policies. However, the growth of the housing sector has a profound impact on gross national product, resulting in a significant increase in employment. On the other hand, an increase in loan for purchasing house leads to a rise in liquidity and inflation rate. This means that the gap between the income and housing price is increased. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new models for making decisions in order to prevent the increase in the inflation rate and housing price. According to the key importance of housing price, a number of models have been developed to formulate the price behavior with regard to its effective components. In this study, a novel model based on the ARIMA method for forecasting and formulating the housing price has been developed. The results show that the model proposed has a high potential (with a determination coefficient of 99.7%) to foresee the housing prices in the city of Tehran. Manuscript profile

Initially, we discussed theoretical background of idiosyncratic risk and financing to investigate the background of the research. In the next step, the determination and estimation of the research model is done. The results of various estimates with and without control variables indicated confirmation of the fixed effect method for the final research model without the surplus / deficit control and trend variables. Estimation of the final model also shows a positive and significant relationship between independent variables (Market-to-book value, stock return, profitability and tangibility, as well as a negative and significant effect of the Z-Score variable on financial leverage. Therefore, each of the six sub-hypotheses of the research and consequently, the main hypothesis of the research was approved.

        Superior corporate governance can reduce the extent to which controlling shareholders can engage in expropriation and thereby decrease the firm's financial constraints. If management is more committed to emphasizing shareholder value and financial discipline, the company has a more transparent information environment, and the board of directors is more independent of controlling shareholders, it is more difficult for the controlling shareholders to expropriate from minority shareholders. The main purpose of this study is investigating the impact of corporate governance mechanisms on the financial constraints in the companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The sample of this study, includes 102 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period 1386-1390 and for processing and testing hypotheses, linear regression and clustering methods are used. The study results showed that count of major shareholders and board independence have increasing and significant impact on financial constraints in companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange.

        Macroeconomic factors are important for multifactor asset pricing at the industry level. Apart from oil prices, the market portfolio is a significant pricing factor in all industry excess returns. Exchange rates are also an influential factor for excess returns. This paper aims to examine the impact of crude oil prices and exchange rate on industry relating to petroleum stock returns. Multifactor static and dynamic models consider crude oil and exchange rate as pricing factors in the industries excess returns from 1384 to 1388. The macroeconomic factors comprise the market portfolio, oil prices, and exchange rates. Oil prices are an important determinant of returns in all of the studying industries. The findings also suggest oil price movements are persistent. Nonetheless, the proportion of variation in excess returns explained by the one to three lagged oil prices appears to have significant for just oil products industry and one month lag is significant for plastic industry and finally no legs are significant for remaining industries.

        The Tehran exchange after reopening in 1368 ,has been undergone fluctuations during its activities that these fluctuations often were market inherent and indicate what it has happened in the markets. But sometimes the market reacts suddenly. Perhaps the decline of share market in 1383 was one of these reactions. In this research we explore the price bulb in public companies in Tehran exchange. firstly by using of box Jenkins method, we estimate the residual of model and  based on model residual ,the continuum, skew and unit root has been used that the price bulb have been occurred during 1383 to 1388. Then by testing price bulb, all of companies that have been undergone to high growth and decline of price in exchange are divided to 2 companies. One without bulb and other one with price bulb. In order to prediction of bulb, the independence variables inside of companies like company size ,shareholders demography ,p/e ratio, information transparency and liquidity speed have been used. In the next step, by using of binary logit and probit regression method, a model has been designed for the prediction of price bulb. for model reliability, the data 6 months before bulb expression have been used. The test of hypothesis show that there is no significant relationship between independent variables (company size, shareholders demography, P/E ratio, information transparency, liquidity speed) and price bulb, except 2 companies inherent independent variable(share floatability and company size).   Manuscript profile

        This study examines the Impact of investment firms ownership on management opportunistic behaviors in earnings overstatement, using the theoretical foundations of strategic alignment hypothesis, in a sample of 96, listed firms in Tehran stock exchange for a period of 8 years, from 2006 to 2013 that were simple random sampling selected. Data and theoretical foundations collected through library studies and analyzed using correlation method and multiple regression. The study results suggest that there is a significant and positive relationship between earnings overstatement and investment firms ownership. In other words, investment firms as a major shareholder, want to get the benefit of their investee firms. Investee firms managers maximize earnings for responding to its major shareholder too. This is approved in line with the strategic alignment hypothesis. The results also show that earnings overstatement have a significant and positive relationship with the variables of firm size, return on asset ratio and debt ratio.

        A brief look at the majority of stock exchanges in all over the world shows that they exercise volatility range in order to achieve goals such as preventing price manipulation and reducing market turbulence and emotions. Allowable volatility range is the price range of a share in a workday; this means that the share’s changes in that day cannot exceed or become less than this limit. Therefore this range reduces market manipultion and emotions. Beside varied advantages of exercising  volatility range, there are some disadvantages and researches have been done that some allege efficiency and some allege inefficiency of this phenomenon. In this study,we examine one of the consequences of exercising the allowable volatility range, namely magnetic effect  and by using autocorrelation examine either existence or non-existence of it in sample corporations_20 corporations that are accepted in Tehran’s stock exchange up to 1391/09/30 . It is worth mentioning that the sample corporations  are blessed with 26/87% of all the transactions in Tehran stock exchange during  the period in which this study has been done. Results show that between the examined corporations(kesaveh, hafari shomal, betrans, sina, fazar, fasmin, folad, ghepira, gheshekar, ghenisha, kermasha, keruy, vapetro, vasapa, vasakht, vasepah, vasandogh, valsapa, vamellat, vamaden) 14 corporatins (kesaveh, hafari shomal, betrans, sina, fasmin, folad, gheshekar, ghenisha, kermasha, vasapa, vasakht, vasepah, vasandogh, vamaden) had magnetic effect.

        The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of dividend policy in Teheran Stock Exchange (TSE). To do so, a fresh bunch of recently introduced theories including catering theory, cash flow uncertainty, life cycle hypothesis, systematic risk, dividend stability and fixed assets variable are selected to be investigated. Data for hypotheses testing derived from financial statements of firms listed in TSE for the period between 2003-2010. For analyses purpose Tobit regression is used because of the censuring nature of dependent variable. In addition to six main theories and variables, four control variable including cash, firms size, profitability and investment opportunity are considered. The results of study show that mangers of TSE firms do not cater to investors demand and they have not stable dividend policy. Moreover, firm’s life cycle and systematic risk are not determinants of dividend policy while cash flow uncertainty, fixed assets, cash, firm’s size, profitability and investment opportunity are.

        In emerging markets such as Tehran Stock Market, there is a gap between signals of changing the trend and the beginning of the movements which we can make profit by using a well-designed Algorithmic Trading System. Proposing a high-frequency trading system has advantages (taking advantage of intraday stock market volatility) and disadvantages (high amounts of transaction cost due to the high transaction volume) thus we can augment advantages and cotrol the disadvantages by designing the system elaborately. In this research, the “Local Traders” approach for predicting the future trend of stock has been utilized. According to the “Local Traders” approach, there is a local trader (an agent) for each stock which is expert on it. It predicts the future trend of its own stock based on stock’s intraday data and their technical indicators by determining how much it is good to buy, sell or hold. Results show that, the proposed model outperforms the Buy and Hold strategy in all kinds of markets (Normal, Ascending, Descending) even if there is no discount on Transaction Costs.

        Financial literacy is believed to play an important role in understanding investors’ behavior both in advanced and emerging stock markets.  While previous studies have shown a positive association between improved financial literacy levels and the quality and performance of investors’ decisions, the dynamics of this process has not been adequately examined. This study develops an empirical model explaining the decision-making process that integrates the impact of investors’ financial literacy, emotions, and risk perceptions on investment decisions focusing on the financial markets of the Islamic Republic of Iran, mainly represented by the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). In particular, a three-dimensional process is used to provide a more robust measure of financial literacy represented by financial attitude, financial behavior and financial knowledge covering both basic and advanced financial knowledge levels. Using a large data set on investment behavior at the TSE in 2016, we find, unlike previous studies, no evidence on the impact of financial literacy on investors’ risk perception in Iran. On the other hand, financial literacy, risk perception and emotions collectively and significantly affect investors’ decisions at the TSE. We further find some evidence of gender specific effects.

        Studying the countries' stock market and global market interaction has been one of the most important research subjects in the global market. Thus, studying the relationships may have a significant role for the decision making of the investors. An appropriate estimation of the dependence structure has been the significant starting point at an investing period, for the investment risk control. The present research aims to study the interaction between dependence structure at Tehran stock market efficiency and the global price of gold and oil, at the period of 2010-2017, on a daily basis. In doing so, GARCH-Copula approach has been applied. The results show the asymmetric mutual relationship between the studied efficiencies. As it can be seen in the present paper, the t-student Copula functions can have a better recognition than other functions for both efficiencies; 'Tehran stock and gold market', and 'Tehran stock and oil market'. The results indicate that the Tehran stock market has been highly dependent to both oil and gold markets, and their threshold changes may lead to a stronger dependency of the markets together.

        The purpose of this study is to provide an appropriate pricing model and also addressing the common deficiencies in other valuation models. To this goal, a sample of 82 companies is selected. (Financial companies, companies with fiscal year different from end of 29th of isfand, companies which their stocks were not traded in past 3 month and those which listed after 1389 are excluded). Then portfolios based on the third and fourth moments are formed by the sampled companies. We used three pricing models including CAPM, Fama- French 3 factor model and Carhart Model for each portfolio. Results show that estimating these models accounting third and fourth moment lead to increase of significance of these models. But the insignificance of the interception of difference between two portfolios showed that third and fourth moment premium are not priced which can be due to assuming homogeneous investment horizon for investors. For this, using wavelet analysis, we analyzed three portfolios with in two horizon levels including level 1 (2 to 4 month) and level 2 (4 to 8 month). Results interestingly showed the improvement in significance and also in R^2. Using GPH estimator, we showed that there is long term memory in studied time series. In order to making these series stationary, we used recent method by calculating fractional data and again we estimated the models. Results showed that models estimation significantly improved for all three portfolios. But except CAPM for the two first portfolios, in other models the risk premium is not priced. Comparing fractional models with those obtained by wavelet models strongly indicates the superiority of the latter. Comparing all models, we concluded that best model for pricing, based on the third moment, is fama- French 3 factor model in level 2 daubeechies4 and by regarding the fourth moment, CAPM is optimal one for the level 2 symlts8.

        In the recent decades, several financial crises have arisen the world over and they have promoted the emergence of a new outlook holding that quantitative economic models based on fundamental factors tend to perform poorly in the prediction of fluctuations. Thus, the study of market behaviors has increasingly strengthen its position in the sphere of applied and research studies.  Galactic studies and investigating the impacts of supernatural and extraterrestrial factors on the behaviors of finical markets have traditionally been one the topics which have attracted much attention and argument. Reviewing the research literature connected with these studies and using the TGARCH statistical model – which can be best used in heteroskedastic environments (like the returns of stocks and securities) – in this study we have investigated the impacts of the positions of heavenly bodies and their physical activities on the return of the Tehran Stock Exchange. Daily data for a period of 23 years (1992-2015) were used in this study, and information about heavenly bodies was collected from the NASA Data website and the official website of the World Data Center for the production, preservation and dissemination of the international sunspot number. The results obtained showed that the angle between the position of the Saturn and the Mars (as seen by an observer on the Earth) has a significant negative relationship with the return of the Tehran Stock Exchange. Such a relationship, however with further impacts, also exits for the angle between the position of the Saturn and the Jupiter (as seen by an observer on the Earth). Also, findings showed that there is a significant positive relationship between the return of the Tehran Stock Exchange and the position of the Moon when it is at the full. As to sun spots (solar activities), the results suggested that there is a significant and positive relationship between this factor and the return of the Tehran Stock Exchange. Meantime, the Granger causality test was performed and the results obtained indicated that all factors in the model discussed in this article are, in terms of econometrics, simultaneously the causes of changes in the dependent variables.   Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between intangible assets and the financial performance of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. Therefore, the present study is a practical and quasi-experimental research. Totally 134 companies for the 12-year period (1380 to 1391) were classified and examined in four categories using available databases. Intangible assets also was divided into two categories; registered and unregistered intangible assets.  We used a few proxies for calculation of intangible assets. The results of the partial correlation coefficients and hierarchical regression test with regard to the control variables showed that there is a significant relationship between intangible assets and financial performance of the companies. In some cases, there is a positive and in others a negative sign relationship. The intensity of this relationship for unregistered intangible assets is stronger that registered intangible assets. The most significant positive correlation is between ROA and Tobin-Q, and then between markets over book value and net income respectively. Also, the net income measure was strongly associated with intangible assets among the other measures. Manuscript profile

        This study aims to investigate the relationship between crude oil price returns and stock market index returns of an exporter (Iran) and an importer (Turkey). Using daily data of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), Brent crude oil spot prices, and one-four month futures prices for the WTI; Tehran Stock Exchange Price Index (TEPIX), Tehran Stock Exchange Dividend and Price Index (TEDPIX), the Dividend and Price Index for the Istanbul Stock Exchange gathered during the period of 2000-2010; the relationship is analyzed by two models of the Constant Conditional Correlation (CCC) and the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC). The findings reveal that the DCC is predominant over the CCC for Turkey, which means there is a non-constant conditional correlation. In contrast, the findings show the predominance of CCC for Iran. Among the spot markets, stock market volatility is better defined by the Brent than the WTI. For futures markets of the WTI, a better relationship with longer maturity confirms the financial markets as being long-term. Finally, no evidence is found for one- or bi-directional volatility spillovers (interdependencies) between the markets. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important human needs that must be answered in the context of urban life is the need for social life. Cities with a favorable visual environment are able to improve the society's mental image of itself by expanding the aesthetic experience of citizens. Strengthen their civic pride. District 2 of Tehran Municipality is one of the largest urban areas of Tehran, which has many extra-urban uses. Due to the existence of such uses, the volume of traffic and travel within the city to region 2 is very high; For this reason, it is important in the discussion of the concept of environmental graphics and urban furniture. The purpose of the present research is to present the optimal urban furniture graphic reading model in order to realize the quality of the environment in the 2nd district of Tehran as a densely populated area. The research method that governs the research is the mixed method (quantitative-qualitative) and in terms of the purpose, it is an applied research type. The collection of research data has been done in library form and through survey studies and review of theoretical research literature. In the final stage, the data was analyzed using the Friedman test and t-test, and among the indicators affecting the environmental graphics, the index of urban elements with a value of 2.25 and the index of drawn paintings are among the indicators affecting urban furniture. With different colors on the walls with a value of 1.45 respectively, the highest and lowest indicators of the environmental graphics of the area have been recognized. The urban furniture elements of the range lack the necessary efficiency for the citizens. Monitoring the design, construction and location of urban elements and urban furniture designed in the studied area is low in terms of common standards. Manuscript profile

        The important issue about groundwater resources includes; understanding the characteristics of thelocal watershed or aquifer, distinguishing cases leading to their contamination and managing them.In this study, during the October 1390 a total of 16 wells were sampled in order to evaluate anddistinguish the quality and menacing agents of district14th, Tehran’s groundwater sources.The concentration of the anions (NO2, NO3, Cl, SO4, CO3 and HCO3), cations (Mg, K, Na), and certainheavy elements like Pb, Cd and Ag, as well as other physical parameters(temperature, color and odor),chemical parameters (pH, EC, TSS, TDS) and MTBE were determined.Factors which were measured on the field were; pH, Electric Conductivity and temperature. The traceelements concentrations were measured by Graphite furnace atomic absorption, anion concentrationsby potentiometric and titration method, cation concentrations (Mg by titration method, K and Na byflaming measurement method) and MTBE concentrations were measured by CP-3800 GasChromatograph.Anion test results manifested an increase of nitrate, sulfate and chloride concentration in the southernand western stations which can be associated with the region’s south-west to north-east slope ,inaddition to the sandy texture of the area. The cation pollution of the East and Northeast wells havebeen manifested and the high increase in the amount of potassium might be related to the clay texture,sewage of the absorption wells and the fertilizers that are used in the parks. Among the heavy metalsonly cadmium had concentrations more than the standard levels.Agricultural activities, municipal wastewater, surface run-offs, eroded soil texture of the area as wellas the geological structure, lack of adequate boundaries in between the drinking and the waste waterwells have caused an increase in the contaminating effects of these sources. MTBE contamination wasnot indicated in any of the wells. Manuscript profile

        In order to determine the groundwater quality of Tehran city in 2010 and 2011, seventy one wells wereconsidered for water sampling. The groundwater quality was evaluated using WHO index and thequality was worse in 2011 in comparison with 2010.Furthermore, eastern and southern areas showmore index values which indicate the lower groundwater quality for drinking use. According to theresults gained in both years, the majority of northern sampling stations lie within the good range whilethe ones in southern areas are mostly addressed as poor quality. Uncontrolled water discharge, regulardroughts as well as leakage of anthropogenic pollutants like NO3- and SO4— may be addressed as themajor causes of groundwater quality degradation within the study area. Regarding the remarkableweight of NO3 in index quality interpretation, the key role of this pollutant in groundwater qualitydetermination is manifested. Such quality degradation trend may reach a critical status in near futureand should be seriously taken into consideration. Manuscript profile

        Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) is one of the gas additives that can be more effective in increasing the octan rating of fuel. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has labeled MTBE in carcinogen compounds.This compound can leak into the soil from underground fuel tanks and its chemical and physical properties affords rapid influence.Sorption ability of soil, is so effective in influence of MTBE into the soil and “distribution Coefficient (Kd)” can show this ability. Kd is one of the important effectives that recently lionizes in Environmental Geotechnics and its range is so wide in as much as it can be “0” or “1000” and more; This wide range is important in using numerical models for underground water and contaminant trasformation modeling.In this study, the real value of sorption has been determined by several sorption tests on MTBE and the soil of Ray city and according this value, various isotherm models were studied to find the most accurate model for MTBE and this soil.In this study, all of the tests have done according to ASTM standards. Finally, it’s concluded that all of studied models are appropriate for calculating Kd but in similar cases,  we can offer foloing models sequently: Dubinin-Radushkevich Model; Langmuir Model; Freundlich Model; Linear Model.

        In an attempt to examine the quality of ground water in Tehran with respect to the consumption pattern in the last ten years for 71 examination point, three distinct neural networks of different Electrical Conductivity (EC),   input and output parameters were set out . It is observed that, in order to forecast with a great deal of trial and error, the tangent algorithms with the momentum-training algorithm turns out to be less error. As the number of the input parameters is reduced and the training algorithm is fixed with momentum and the stimulating algorithm gives way to the tangent algorithm, error falls off.  Finally, three model with one hidden layer, the momentum training algorithms and the stimulating tangent was constructed. The  maximum error occurring implies the maximum determination coefficient of 0.986 that its connected to models 1 and 3. Moreover, in line with the neural network laid out in one layer, the minimum normal root mean square error (NRMSE) is supposed to run out at 0.110 in models 1 and 3. According to lesser input parameter of model number 2 and very close approximation to this two models (1and 3) with maximum determination coefficient of 0.96 and the minimum normal root mean square error (NRMSE) 0.176 can be a very close approximation and can decrease inputs parameters and experience for Measurement of input parameters and the estimate is supposed to be excellently acceptable. As regards the effect of the parameters on the forecast made, the neural network involves the predominance of the two sulphate and chloride ions over the sodium parameter. Manuscript profile

        Abstract It is essential that the urban spaces to be organized, within the framework of the several functions specifically   in such a direction that to give an appropriate response to humans’ physical, material, and intellectual need. Nowadays, human having recognized the importance and the place of the green spaces and public recreation and promenade in their day to day life and its various applications among the structure of accumulated human settlements, forced them to consider and put forward their efforts for the keeping and regenerating the existing resources in their policies and planning agendas.  Our large cities in our country, especially the metro city of Tehran are standing in a far distance from the necessary size and number of the social spaces, particularly in the field of the recreation promenade areas. Therefore, the policy of developments of green and recreation-promenade spaces in the marginalized and close distance and within the interaction of the cities are more welcomed. One of the very attracting areas in city of Tehran is Lavizan forest park, located at the north-east of Tehran, situated in a direct and constructive interaction with the city and as the city green belt has held specific terms and regulations. This study aimed to investigate the perspective and Ecological aspects of Forest Park Lavizan in Tehran and the opportunities and leading it to the library study and field of work. At first according to the maps, the location of the area where the park is located, was evaluated in terms of environmental issues. Then pros and cons of Lavizan park discussed. Finally park supposed as a patch and limitation of recreations    an ecological subjects with ways to deal analyzed. The results of this research shows the main importance of forest parks and also appropriate approaches for develop this kind of parks.

        Evapotranspiration is one of the critical parameters in an interdisciplinary topic between agriculture and hydrology. Thus, the accurate estimate of evapotranspiration can reduce the casualties of water resources and cause proper management in planning. In this study, the standard FAO penman- monteith method is used to estimate the evapotranspiration of the refrence crop (ET0) in Tehran province for selected synoptic stations. Some studies show that in case of high temperature, the wind speed performs an important factor in increasing values of evapotranspiration. The lowest annual reference crop evapotranspiration in synoptic station north of Tehran with an average temperature of 15.6 degrees celsius high it is estimated the average 1160 mm. While Abali stations and Firouzkooh respectively 8.6 and 9 ° C mean annual temperature, 1180 and 1220 mm annual evapotranspiration values experience. The annual evapotranspiration reference plant in Doushan Tappeh station with average annual temperature of 18 °C, About1425 mm. The most important factor in reducing evaporation and transpiration synoptic station in northern Tehran and Doushan Tappeh with average annual temperature is much higher, Wind speed in this station. The maximum value of evapotranspiration estimated around 1700 and 1680 mm in geophysics station and then Mehrabad Airport stations respectively. Approximately, 75% of the annual reference crop evapotranspiration has been occurred from April to September. Also, the maximumvalue of evapotranspiration is observed between June and September, and the minimum is seen from November to Februaey in alla station. Manuscript profile

        Background and objective: Nocardia is a germ-positive filamentous bacterium with relative acid-fast properties that ubiquitously exists as an environmental saprophyte. Nocardiosis is usually characterized as an acute or chronic illness associated with pus or granulomatosis, which can cause an aggressive disease both in healthy people and immunosuppressive patients. The aim of this study was to identify the biodiversity of Nocardia species isolated from Tehran hospitals via phenotypic and PCR molecular approaches. Materials and methods: 200 samples were collected from Tehran hospitals. After being separated by paraffin baiting technique, the colonies were evaluated for their growth abilities in liquid lysozyme and at 45°C and based on other biochemical tests via macroscopic examinations and then microscopic gram and relative acid-fast staining practices. Ultimately, we designed a genus-specific primer set and performed the PCR reaction to compare both results. Results: From the 200 samples, 30 samples were identified as positive based on the culture and biochemical tests and molecular method. Conclusion: Considering the species diversity of Nocardia genus and the existence of different conditions for performing phenotypic and biochemical tests, it is very probable that another genus relevant to the actinomycete family be mistakenly identified as Nocardia. Thus, molecular methods can provide confirmation of the phenotypic approach. Manuscript profile

        This study investigates the adjustment effect of management ability on the relationship between managers' narcissism and speed of adjustment of cash in the Tehran stock exchange during the period 2014 to 2020 using the information of 115 selected companies. The results of the research hypotheses showed that managers' narcissism increases the level of cash holding and thus increases the speed of adjustment of cash. This result is consistent with the theory of free cash flow, which states that people who tend to be more insecure and narcissistic about their performance in more difficult tasks are more attracted to risky growth opportunities and the challenge of keeping cash. The results also showed that the ability of management reduces the speed of adjusting cash holdings so that companies with highly capable managers prefer to maintain a lower level of cash in the company and spend the excess cash on investing in profitable projects to increase shareholder wealth. At the same time, it modulates the ability to manage the relationship between managers' narcissism and speed of adjustment of cash and reduces the intensity of the positive relationship between them. This result shows that capable managers have a better ability to predict possible future shocks than cash flow and are able to determine the optimal level of retained cash so that these managers can manage liquidity efficiently and have peaceful relationships with lenders or suppliers. They are better able to cope with low cash balances, which will reduce their motivation to raise cash levels. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a corporate governance system on avoiding companies getting caught in the Ponzi trap. The research method is applied. The statistical population of this study is Tehran capital market companies. The research period is from 1394 to 1398. The statistical population of the research was 132 companies selected as a sample. The data collection methods were library and field that the library method was used to formulate theoretical foundations and the field method was used to test research hypotheses. The data collection tool was the databases of companies that are members of Tehran Capital Market, which was obtained from the Kedal website. In this study, correlation test and regression analysis and Eviews software were used to test the research hypotheses and determine whether or not it was significant. According to the findings of the study, the management system with good, average, and poor performance affects companies in the Ponzi trap and it can be concluded that corporate governance systems are effective in companies avoiding the Ponzi trap. Therefore, companies have to use domestic and international capital markets to finance themselves. Through the system of governance, they can play a key role in the decision-making of investors and lenders, and this will make these companies less inclined to Money Making, so, in this case, the companies will be more careful about getting caught in the Ponzi scheme.

        Purpose: The objective of the present study is to review the interactive role of an auditor's expertise in the relationship between abnormal transactions with biased people and financial statement fraud with an emphasis on testing the agency theory in Tehran Stock Exchange.Methods: With respect to the type of data in this research, logistic regression has been used. The statistical sample consisted of 118 corporations from 2014 to 2021, which were chosen by systematic removal.Results: The results showed that segments of abnormal transactions with biased people increase financial statement fraud. Moreover, an auditor's expertise moderates the intensity of positive relationships between abnormal transactions with biased people and financial statement fraud.Conclusions: With regard to the agency theory, the motivation behind abnormal transactions with biased people is that they want to seize the corporation's capital and that the managers distort financial statements in order to conceal the truth. Furthermore, since the specialist auditors monitor a great portion of the industrial corporations, they are of an expertise and experience above other accountants; therefore, they are more capable to detect financial statement deviation and fraud in terms of abnormal transactions with biased people.

        The purpose of the present research is to represent a model and validate that to assess the audit quality of the accepted corporations in Tehran Stock Exchange. The first statistical population of the research consists of the scholars fully aware of the theoretical principles of the audit quality and experts in this regard and the second statistical population involves all the accepted corporations in Tehran Stock Exchange. In the qualitative part, 15 experts were chosen by purposive sampling and in the quantitative part, 147 active corporations during 2014 to 2020 were selected by systematic deletion. After studying the theoretical foundations of the research, a questionnaire based on a 5 point Likert scale was designed to recognize the effective criteria of the research. Then, using Friedman ranking method, the most effective component and its degree was determined. Finally, for the validation and sensitivity analysis, the proposed model was applied by using the obtained data from the qualitative part of the research and the calculation of the portion of each component in fluctuation of the total index. The results showed that the effective factors on audit quality can be classified into 2 main categories, 4 main components, and 20 singular indicators and that the main aspects determining the audit quality include the features of the institute and audit team, the effectiveness of the audit committee, properties of the employer, macro factors, profession, and environmental factors. Moreover, the main indicators and components do not have equal priority in determining the audit quality. It means that the more the average ranking of each aspect, the more its significance in determining the audit quality. Among 10 indicators existing in the combinational criterion of the audit quality, the only indication that is considered as the most important one in destabilizing the combinational index and one of the important ones in decreasing the average of combinational index is the audit wage which is one of the main indices in the features of the institute and the audit team.

Based on the conditions for sample extraction, 115 stock exchange corporations from different industries were analyzed during a 7-year period. The research purpose was practical and in terms of method, it was considered descriptive and retrospective. For data collection, the financial statements of corporations and the information existing in the database of the Stock Exchange, Codal website, and Rah Avard-e Novin software were applied. Excel software was used for saving, classification, and calculation of the variables and for statistical analysis of the data, E-Views software was applied.Results: The results showed that there is a significantly positive relationship between women's presence in corporations' managerial pyramid and profit management through real activities as a criterion for decreasing financial reporting quality. Furthermore, there is a significantly positive relationship between profit management through real activities as a criterion decreasing the quality of financial reporting quality and accountancy wage. However, women's presence in corporations' managerial pyramid has no significant impact on the relationship between profit management through real activities as a criterion decreasing financial reporting quality and accountancy wage.  Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present study is to compare public health and well-being of the participants in morning workout routines compared to nonactive people. Statistical population of the research consisted of the participants in morning workout stations as well as those who were not active in the city of Tehran. Using random sampling, 200 participants active in morning workout routines and 200 people who were not active were chosen as the sample of study. Standard questionnaire of public health (GHQ-28) was used to measure four microscales (physical health, anxiety and sleep disorder, social function, and depression). Validity of the questionnaire has already been assessed in more than 70 countries in the world (R=0.82 -0.92). For research hypothesis testing, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation coefficient test (p≤0.05) were used. The research results showed that physical health condition of those participating in morning workout routines (M=2.8±2.2) outperforms those who are nonactive (M=5.3±3.6) and they have less anxiety and sleep disorder (M=3.4±2.3) than those who are not active (M=8.6±3.7). Social function condition of those participating in morning workout routines ((M=3.3±2.9) was better than nonactive people (M=6.3±3); depression condition of those participating in morning workout routines (M=1.5±1.2) was also less than those who were nonactive (M=5.4±3.3) and all these results were meaningful at P≤0.01. There was a significant relation between public health and well-being of those participating in morning workout and the time duration of their exercise (r=0.64). Therefore, it can be said that the public health condition (all indices) of those who are active in morning workout routines is better than that of nonactive people and whatever the time duration of exercising increases, there is a more chance of people’s public health and well-being.

        The purpose of the present study is to review the condition of Sarāy-e Mahallat's utility indexes from the view of citizens in Tehran. The research statistical sample consisted of all 101 male and 117 female participants in the gyms of Mahallat. The research method was descriptive and its purpose was practical. The measurement instrument was a research-made questionnaire distributed among the statistical population after receiving the expert comments about its validity. After collection, its reliability was reported to be (–r 0.89.9) by Cronbach's alpha test. The research results showed that the citizens rated the sport equipment's safety to be weak. They had more expectations of the gym halls, equipment's safety and variation, expert coaches, and sport groups. Furthermore, the population under study evaluated the total satisfaction of Sarāy-e Mahallat to be less than average and it decreases as more participants join the gyms. No significant difference was observed between men and women in this regard. The most important obstacles and limitations for the participation in Sarāy-e Mahallat include the participants' lack of time and the fact that all classes were not active there. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of comparative study of the dark traits of the personality on corporate sustainability with evidence of the Tehran Stock Exchange is an applied study and a descriptive-correlational study method. The statistical population of the study included activists, investors, agents, experts and senior experts of Tehran Stock Exchange companies, who were selected with a simple 240 random sampling strategy. In this study, the standard questionnaire of the Digen (Jonson & Webster, 2010) was used with three subscales of Machiavellism (eliminating all ethics), narcissism and psychosis. Corporate sustainability, including two subscales of environmental preferences and social preferences, was used by Plaster and Salver (2021). Research data analysis was performed with the model of structural equations and Smart PLS software. The results suggest that the dark traits of managers' personality have a negative impact on corporate sustainability; removing ethics has a negative impact on environmental preferences. Narcissism has a positive effect on environmental preferences. Psychosis has a negative impact on environmental preferences; Removing ethics has a negative impact on social preferences. Narcissism has a positive impact on social preferences. Psychosis has a negative impact on social preferences. Managers' dark personality traits have a positive impact on corporate sustainability by modulating managerial authority. The dark personality traits of managers have a negative impact on environmental preferences by modulating managerial authority, but this effect was not significant. Managers' dark personality traits have a negative impact on social preferences by modulating managerial authority. Manuscript profile

        Mahmoud Moshref Azad Tehrani was one of the greatest poets of fortieth decade. The study of imagination in his poems as an impressive poet in modern poetry caused the discovery of his innovation in the field of imagination and revealed some aspects of emotions, feelings and social problems. In this research which is taken by taking note and library method, three hypotheses were the bases of work. One hypothesis was that Moshref as well as other contemporary poets has paid more attention to detection element among imagery elements and he has paid more attention to nature and tangible objects among constructive elements of imagery. Another hypothesis was that the emotions which are mixed with his imagination and have caused his poetic experiences were not personal emotions but social ones and they were derived from pains, sufferings and his joint hopes with people of his society and Moshref was a poet who could create beautiful images and take responsibility toward his society as an artist.

        Background and Objective Soil as a heterogeneous natural resource and the largest organic carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems is composed of complicated processes and mechanisms. The necessity of accurately estimating soil properties on the national and regional scales for improving soil management, and understanding their influence on agriculture have resulted in attracting researchers’ attentions to this field. Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is considered as an indicator of soil quality in fertility and food production. It is also considered as a key variable in environmental and agricultural issues. Thus, using rapid and cost effective and more accuracy estimation of the SOM content in soil resources assessment and management can be helpful. In precision agriculture, the scale of soil data required for management of lands and products is very large. The scale of collecting filed data usually cannot fulfil those needs. Sampling, preparing and analyzing the large number of soil samples as well as producing the distribution map for large areas are very difficult. In addition, traditional laboratory methods of soil analysis are boring, time-consuming, and costly. In fact, they need specialized laboratory operators. The aim of the present study is to compare the performance of the two Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) and Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) for predicting SOM using VNIR spectrometry data. With the use of combining Wavelet transform and diagnosis of independent bands, noises existing in soil spectroscopic data has reduced. In addition, independent and effective spectra and bands in spectroscopy of SOM were selected. Consequently, in the present research, Wavelet-PCA-PLSR and Wavelet-PCA- BRT models were developed and performance were assessed.Materials and Methods 42 surface (0-30cm) soil samples in the heterogeneous areas of urban-agricultural regions in Tehran province were collected. Soil Organic Carbon (OC) measured using Walki Black method and the samples’ spectrums were measured by ASD FieldSpec-3 spectrometer. First and second derivitation of spectral reflectance and absorbance were calculated. To reduce noises and smooth the spectrum, Sym8 matrix function of wavelet transform was used, wavelet transform is conducted to show and reconstruct characteristics in the spectrum. Principal component analysis and Hotelling's T2 test with 95% confidence level were used for outlier detection. PLSR and BRT was conducted onreflectance, absorbance and their first and second derivatives, at five levels of wavelet transform. Then, by comparing the results, the appropriate model was selected via validation. For doing the PLSR in nonlinear data, Kernel functions were used. When using numerical samples, regression trees are used instead of decision trees. But their processes are the same. In regression trees, the greedy algorithm was used. Therefore, by answering the binary question through which node the maximum data about respons variable is obtained, the root node and its two children are obtained. Producing the structure of trees is recursively repeated and a typical stopping criterion is considered. The stopping criterion can be as achievement to a split which cannot be divided and provides fewer data, or when data in the node contain 5% of the total data. Moreover, the tree size should be minimized. For splitting the node, the Ginny factor, entropy factor, etc. were used for minimizing those factors. In addition, the total square error is calculated in each branches and those with minimized values are selected. In addition, in the regression tree, the pruning process is employed for over-fitting. The BRT consists of the two regression tree and boosting techniques for improving the predictability of each of them. For calibration and validation of the model, 30 and 12 soil samples were randomly selected, respectively and R2 and RMSE were used for quantify the accuracy of models. Moreover, to select the best production factor of the PLSR mode, explained variance residual values and RMSE of validation were considered. Finally, soil organic matter map was produced using Landsat OLI satellite imagery and the proofed method for the study area.Results and Discussion The SOM value acceptably, the creation of continuous mappings with more accuracy based on noise reduction and retention of suitable data have always received researchers’ attentions. The present study tried to find the better method such a more accurate quantization of SOM using soil spectroscopic data. Using wavelet transform and outlier removal based on Hotelling's T2 via the PCA, the suitable data were extracted for producing the more accurate quantization. In this method, independent and effective bands or spectra remain in the model, while Lin et al. used wavelet transform and correlation techniques for selecting appropriate bands in estimating SOM. Since the soil reflectance is more complex and affected by several factors, using correlation method in these heterogeneous areas such as the area studied in the present study does not lead to acceptable results. Considering the data values, the unsupervised PCA method calculates principle components and eigenvalues and eigenvectors. It also tries to maximize the covariance matrix based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). SOM estimation models were developed using the PLSR and BRT for reflectance and absurbance spectra and their first and second derivation. Based on the results, the BRT method with RMSE and R2 values as 0.58 and 0.94, respectively leads in the better results for the data of the second derivation of reflectance. Moreover, values of RMSE and R2 in the PLSR were obtained as 1.0338 and 0.938, respectively for the data related to the second derivation of reflectance. However, comparing RMSE of the BRT and PLSR shows better results of the BRT model.Conclusion In that field measurements of chemical properties of soil such as organic matters are critically time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, measuring those properties is not possible in the large samples. So, the results of the present study indicate that in heterogeneous agricultural-urban areas, potential of the developed models such as wavelet-PCA-PLSR and wavelet-PCA-BRT can be used for estimating SOM. Meanwhile, these two algorithms do not make distributional assumptions and therefore, there are no strong assumptions about normality. Using continuous functions and satellite imagery, the map of the level of SOM in large scales can be prepared in order that it can be utilized in studies such as cultivation potential, soil fertility, and sustainable development of soil.

        Knowing the ratio of landuse and how this ratio change over the time is a significant factor in landuse planning and management. By knowing how landuses change over time, we can predict future changes and do preventive and appropriate actions. The aim of this study is detecting the landuse changes in the Tehran city in period of (1995-2005). Landuse maps for the mentioned years were derived from LandSat imagery and improved using AutoCAD data produced by the National Cartographic Center (NCC) and available maps. For verification produced maps, using the error matrix approach, a Kappa coefficient of 88% was achieved and after classification, change detection was carried out using comparison approach. The results of change detection with a Kappa coefficient of 91% and Cramer’s V of 88% show that the greatest increases were in built up area (4603.68 ha), parks (650.7 ha) and water level (22.32 ha) and in contrast, the greatest decreases were in open land (4561.47 ha) and vegetation cover (715.23 ha). In addition, according to the results the most changes of built up area has been occurring in the west part of Tehran. Manuscript profile

        Excessive consumerism leads to the manifestation of architectural works that can be confusing, often diverting attention from the importance of structures and the context of realizing a work or the vitality of a cultural and artistic movement in society. Therefore, the main aim of the present research is to elucidate the role of the display-oriented society in shaping the architecture of residential buildings in Region 1 of Tehran (from 2008 to 2018). The research methodology is qualitative-quantitative, and the research strategy is descriptive-analytical. Data collection is conducted through library and field studies. The display of architecture manifested through elements, design types, building facades, decorations, and overall structures, is apparent in the residential buildings of Region 1 in Tehran. This is evident through decorative additions on facades, large and unidirectional windows, lighting types, and color combinations, accompanied by curved forms, and most importantly, high-rise constructions. These factors, together, have transformed the residential buildings in Region 1 of Tehran into one of the most affluent areas, significantly elevating property values in this area. The results of the research indicate that contemporary residential buildings in Region 1 of Tehran, particularly during the years from 2011 to the present, have adopted a prominent ornamental aspect. Without alignment with Iranian identity and culture, these buildings have transformed these areas, heavily relying on elements such as decorations and modern forms. They are highly consumer-oriented, aligning mainly with the tastes of the client and the architect. Therefore, residential buildings in this area are intensely consumer-oriented and have, to some extent, taken shape solely due to consumerism. Manuscript profile

               Making money in municipalities is one of the things that has a major impact on providing urban services to citizens. If municipalities are not able to generate sufficient and sustainable revenue, they will not be able to create and operate the necessary facilities in the city. But the important point in the discussion of financing and reforming the financial resources of municipalities is the sustainability of revenue sources; So that these revenues, in addition to being reliable and sustainable, should not be a threat to sustainable urban development. This research is an applied research and its method is descriptive-analytical. The reason for choosing the research is to achieve the principles and effective criteria of "providing sustainable revenue sources for the municipality of Tehran". A questionnaire was prepared for field assessment and accreditation of the status of the studied incomes and was prepared by 150 professors and urban planning experts, city council members, senior financial managers and deputies, consultants, financial experts and experts, expert professors, managers. And revenue recognition experts of 22 municipalities in Tehran were completed. The purpose of preparing a questionnaire and collecting information in this way was to determine the stability of financial and revenue resources of municipalities and determine the possibility of using these resources in Tehran Municipality. The results showed that the most stable type of revenue for the city of Tehran, which is also enforceable, is to receive an appropriate share of government taxes, either in the form of VAT or in the form of a percentage transfer of national taxes as a share of the municipality.Extended AbstractIntroduction:         Making money in municipalities is one of the things that has a major impact on providing urban services to citizens. If municipalities cannot generate sufficient and sustainable revenue, they will not be able to build and operate the necessary facilities in the city. One of the most important concerns of managers and urban planners is to achieve sustainable urban development. Due to the rapid gro;wth of urbanization, the demand for goods and services in cities has increased significantly, and in this regard, meeting the needs of its citizens requires sufficient financial resources.

              Tehran metropolis has faced many environmental pollutions in recent decades and its quality has been affected.This situation has been paralleled by the ever-increasing population and, as a result, the significant increase in the reliance on motor vehicles for intra and extra-urban trips in this metropolis.  The purpose of this study is to evaluate the environmental quality of Tehran and its spatial relevance to transportation variables. This research has been done by quantative method and using the data of the statistical yearbook of Tehran province in 2019. Shannon entropy weighting method and Promethee multi-criteria decision making technique for evaluating and ranking Tehran regions in terms of environmental quality, hierarchical clustering in SPSS environment for clustering 22 regions and bivariate Moran autocorrelation analysis in Geoda software to study spatial coherence And environmental quality quotes are used. The results indicate the existence of major spatial differences between different regions of Tehran in terms of environmental quality and regions are divided into four major clusters. Positive and negative relationships between transport variables and environmental quality were observed in the form of different spatial patterns in the regions and spatial clusters and non-clusters were analyzed. The results showed that the production of riding space and the increase in travel production, under the influence of artificial road construction in the second cycle of capital accumulation and Fordism mass production style, has a negative spatial correlation with the quality of the urban environment.Extended AbstractIntroduction:      In this research, in particular, the impact of riding transportation with motorized vehicles (according to trip production and absorption statistics) and walking on the urban environment is discussed. Recently, (Dutta et al, 2013: 49) has emphasized the relationship between the quality of the urban environment and the physical, social and economic conditions of the city. In the sense that it is not acceptable to issue a general and universal ruling regarding the relationship between the city and the environment; Rather, regional differences should be considered and the local conditions of cities should be considered in this regard. One of the most obvious indicators of today's urbanization is the increase in reliance on passenger transportation with motor vehicles. Such an unplanned increase brings with it negative environmental impacts, and yet, one of the environmental impacts of urban transportation that is easily seen in developing countries and unfortunately usually ignored is the pedestrian/vehicle conflict. )Huzayyin & Ashour, 2004: 4). In fact, the methodical evaluation of the effect of the type of transportation on the quality of the urban environment will be a suitable and useful tool for thinking about alternative transportation methods. On the other hand, considering the prominent role of transportation use in the body and consequently the social dimension of the city, the decision regarding it will subsequently face the city with obvious physical and social changes, and considering the heavy costs of the physical and social changes of the city, It is appropriate to explain the effect of different types of transportation on the quality of the city's environment.Tehran is one of the metropolises of Iran that suffers from extensive environmental issues. The pressure on the ecological resources and on the natural resources of the city and region of Tehran, which has been under the direct influence of the driving force of rapid urbanization and comes from the increase in the volume of urban trips, the upward trend of waste production, runoff, etc., is noticeable (Shahi et al. , 2018) Therefore, it is felt necessary to use a planning thinking in order to solve and adjust this problem. This research tries to explain part of the environmental problems of Tehran city by focusing on the transportation variable and offers suggestions to improve its situation. We would like to say that without planning and methodical monitoring of the current structure of the city, presenting any kind of program to improve its environmental condition will be fruitless; Because in this case, we have forgotten the problem-producing points that constantly challenge the urban environment. Identifying these issues and what is behind them will be the first step and prerequisite for any plan and action. A review of the theoretical background of the research shows that the utilitarian perspective in dealing with space and including the environment thinks about maximum exploitation and capital accumulation. During the production of artificial space, during the second cycle of capital accumulation, in which, according to Harvey, large-scale industrial production is replaced by daily and mass light industrial goods (Aghaei, 2020), the emergence of Fordism leads to the production and consumption of riding spaces, and production and consumption becomes one and expands day by day. The antithesis point of this current is formed by two currents: with the ideas of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and his subject-body view and the view of this same Hegelian, Cartesian dualism is questioned. The results of this case are also revealed in urban planning, which in this research has been shown in the form of a comparison of the production of travel from the examples of the production of riding space with pedestrian circulation.Methodology:        This research is one of the quantitative studies with a practical aspect. The research data were taken from the statistical yearbook of Tehran province. The general process of the research has been that after extracting environmental quality assessment indicators from previous researches, the data were weighted in the form of research indicators, using the Shannon entropy method. Then, in order to evaluate and rank the 22 districts of Tehran from the perspective of environmental quality indicators, the Prometheus multi-criteria decision-making method was used in the Visual Promethee software environment. In the next step, to investigate the spatial relationship of transportation variables with the environmental quality of the regions, two-variable Moran autocorrelation analysis LISA and Geoda software with ESDA approach were used and the type of relationship, the type of clusters and their significance were determined.Results and discussion:      The evaluation of the environmental quality of the 22 districts of Tehran shows that there are many differences in terms of the quality of the environment in the regions. Meanwhile, region 22 has the best environmental quality and region 7 has the worst quality. The quality of the rest of the regions is between these two regions. In general, the areas of the city can be classified into 4 different clusters based on the quality of the environment, and it can be said that the neighboring areas have almost the same quality. The results of spatial correlation analysis of travel production and absorption with environmental quality show that there is a negative spatial relationship between these two variables, so that we are facing an increase in travel production and absorption in areas with lower environmental quality. On the contrary, there is a positive spatial correlation between the production of walking and cycling space with environmental quality. This means that we are faced with an increase in the area of ​​pedestrian and cycling paths with a higher environmental quality. However, the same spatial patterns are not observed in the regions.Conclusion:         The evaluation of the effectiveness of transportation variables on the environmental quality of Tehran, which is the main goal of this research, revealed significant facts. The results of the analysis show the existence of a positive spatial connection between the area of ​​the cycling and walking paths with the quality of the environment; The subject of pedestrianized cities has now received much attention from researchers in the field of urban planning, which shows the importance of this variable in environmental quality issues. In fact, walking is one of the daily manifestations of the active involvement of humans or their environment or urban space. It can be recognized and interacted with only by walking in the city. With the increase in travel production and attraction, we are facing a lower environmental quality. The cores of the city, which are usually located in the centers and older areas of the city, are a potential possibility to attract travel and are more likely to face pollution and poor environmental quality. The production of rider-oriented space under the modern urbanism style and influenced by Cartesian subjective thinking, the production of artificial space for the second cycle of capital accumulation and the emergence of Fordism and urban zoning will lead to the reduction and degradation of the quality of the urban environment.

        The most important function of any city is its residential role, and for this reason, the qualitative characteristics of housing play an essential role in the quality of urban spaces and social-spatial justice. With the rapid growth of urbanization in the last century, especially in underdeveloped societies, followed by the natural growth of the population, migration and the shrinking of the household dimension, causing serious challenges in the city, including the reduction of housing quality and inequality in various physical, environmental, service, social and economic dimensions. has been Region 2 of Tehran city has a diversity of residential and housing quality due to its north-south orientation and stretching from the city center to the northernmost urban parts of Tehran. Housing is one of the vital needs of humans, for this reason, residents' satisfaction with the quality of housing in urban areas can be analyzed, and neglecting this important issue can cause housing inequality. The aim of the current research is to analyze the residents' satisfaction with the quality of housing at the level of neighborhoods in the 2nd district of Tehran. The research method of this research is descriptive-analytical with an applied nature, and it has been done in the collection of information through documentary and survey methods using the questionnaire method. The collected data were done using the sample t-test, satisfaction level of housing quality indicators, Pearson's correlation test and finally factor analysis. The findings show that the studied indicators (access, structural features, amenities, economic features, social features and environmental health) have a significant relationship with the research topic and even the components of each indicator. The results of the residents' satisfaction also indicate that the area is favorable in terms of having the indicators studied in the research. Finally, ten factors for housing quality can be identified from the perspective of street quality, building type, housing demand, cultural level, amenities, access to the station and transportation lines, quietness of the place, sound and air quality, ethnic and racial ratio, and municipal fees and taxes. The results of Pearson's correlation analysis indicate that the highest correlation was related to the indicators of amenities with accessibility and economic characteristics.Extended AbstractIntroduction:      The extent of the housing problem and its existing dimensions, including its quantity and quality in terms of scale and size, and in terms of various social, economic, cultural, physical, etc. dimensions, have given great importance to this sector. Housing is one of the basic needs of a family, which must meet their human needs and desires. If its lack is felt, it will lead to many serious crises in a stable society. According to the mentioned topics, the housing should provide advantages such as the location that includes proximity to the workplace, shopping, business and schools, the environment that expresses the quality of the neighborhood such as security and beauty, the ability of investment that expresses the capital reserve. Due to the characteristic of the housing in that it is immobile, it acquires characteristics from its surroundings that are in addition to its physical shape and dimension, so it is possible that a housing has high quality, but due to being far from services and jobs, from a social point of view, it has There is no value or its level is low, which of course, this problem can be seen in all rich and poor countries. The commercialization of urban housing, the culture of housing demand and rapid urbanization have caused the value and quality of housing to flourish, especially in metropolitan cities. The issue of housing quality has received much attention in recent years and has become the subject of scientific research in all fields, which indicates the quality of urban spaces and spatial justice, as well as expressing the general social, economic and environmental characteristics of different regions. Housing has always been the biggest concern of households because it is considered both as capital and as the main factor of quality of life, and this issue is more prominent in underdeveloped countries. So it is possible to consider the quality of real estate as a measure of the general quality of life that a citizen expects when buying a particular house in a particular urban area.Methodology:      The present research, in terms of purpose, is fundamental and applied and has an interpretive and analytical nature and in terms of method. In the collection of information, it has been done by documentary and survey method using the questionnaire method. Based on Cochran's (2007) methodological approach, we distributed 350 questionnaires through a cluster sampling method that represents the northern, middle and southern parts of this region in the form of neighborhood units in these three parts. We did this to have a more accurate conclusion. SPSS software was used to analyze the data and explain the relationships between the research components. After the demographic survey of the respondents of this area, we investigated the status of the research indicators from the T-Tech test from the citizens' point of view. Finally, factor analysis was performed to determine the most important indicators.Results and discussion:       Qualitative findings showed that the means housing and its existing dimensions, including quantity and quality in terms of scale and size and in terms of different social, economic, cultural and physical dimensions. In other words, and in short, the most important function of any city is its residential role, and this is why the qualitative characteristics of housing can play a fundamental role in the quality of urban spaces and social-spatial justice. In this regard, the present research has been conducted with the aim of analyzing the satisfaction of residents with the quality of housing with the approach of spatial justice in the 2nd district of Tehran in six indicators of accessibility, structural features, amenities, economic features, social features and environmental health.Conclusion:      One of the objectives of the current research was to measure the satisfaction of residents with housing quality by using housing quality indicators in the 2nd district of Tehran according to the special characteristics of this area, using a sample T-Tech test for all the components of the desired indicators to explain the relationship between They got done. The results of the test show the appropriate level of satisfaction of the residents with the housing quality in all components. Therefore, the results of the research show that the urban neighborhoods with the indicators studied in the research regarding the quality of housing can have a good satisfaction from the residents. Another goal of this research was zoning neighborhoods according to housing quality by using residents' satisfaction with indicators. Among the six indicators that were considered regarding the quality of housing, the results of residents' satisfaction indicate that the 2nd district of Tehran is favorable in terms of having the indicators studied in the research. In the first three indicators, i.e. accessibility, structural features and amenities, very high satisfaction has caused the desirability of the region, but in the next three indicators, i.e. economic features, social features and environmental health, despite the satisfaction and desirability, fewer neighborhoods in the 2nd district of Tehran are satisfied. have had a very high Based on the results obtained from the correlation analysis in the 2nd district of Tehran, the highest correlation is related to the indicators of comfort facilities with access and economic characteristics. In the current research, the results of factor analysis show that the first factor shows the highest load for street quality variables.The naming of other factors is as follows; The second factor is the type of buildings, the third factor is housing demand, the fourth factor is cultural level, the fifth factor is comfort facilities, the sixth factor is access to the station and transportation lines, the seventh factor is the solitude of the place, the eighth factor is sound and air quality, the ninth factor is ethnic and racial factor and the factor It is worth mentioning the tenth of municipal duties and taxes.

        AbstractTehran metropolis does not have a specific, defined and formal system for managing the institutional capacity of urban management; But this system is managed and transmitted by relying on the structures, methods and common norms of urban and rural governance. The fragmentation and fragmentation of urban management in the city of Tehran due to the different institutions and organizations that originate from the city government model, the lack of capacity for inter-institutional and intra-institutional interaction can be seen as the result of the official dominance of the power institutions and the non-alignment of informal institutions with their policies and programs. The purpose of the research is to policy the key factors and variables affecting the institutional capacity of urban management. The research method, from the point of view of the goal, is of the type of applied-developmental research, in terms of the main research methods, it is in the category of descriptive-analytical research. Also, the type of data in the research is a survey, and the main tool used to collect data is interviews with managers, experts of Tehran municipality and university professors in the form of a questionnaire, which is a suitable narrative tool. The sampling method in this study was simple random sampling and the sample size was determined to be 100 people with a measurement error of ten percent. The findings of the research show that the strongest component of the desired institutional capacity is the readability and transparency of laws and regulations, with an average of 3.37, and the lowest average belongs to the component of inter-institutional capacity, which indicates the weakness of the institutional capacity in Tehran metropolis. The results show that the components of communication resources and the ability of institutions have a far greater contribution compared to other components in predicting the dependent variable, such that a unit change in the standard deviation of communication resources and the ability of institutions causes the standard deviation of the variable to increase. dependent (institutional capacity of urban management) to change by 28 and 18 percent. While a unit change in the standard deviation of participation only causes the standard deviation of the dependent variable to change by 2%.Extended AbstractIntroduction:      Considering that the focus of this study is the urban management system of Tehran, in the urban management system of Tehran, we are faced with numerous organizations with diverse missions such as transportation and traffic, urban, cultural and social services, financial and urban economy, technical and civil engineering, etc., which serve the population of the capital. And they provide services to the biggest metropolis of the country. Naturally, for a city of this size, we need an institutional and integrated approach to define, implement and achieve a valid model that can be used by city managers in policy making. But how is this approach designed and implemented? The problem of this research comes from this: in the current method, policies are formulated without the presence and participation of urban and regional agents and experts, and management is tied to autocratic management, traditional planning (with a top-down approach). The actors of the private sector and specialized associations, non-governmental organizations do not have a place and role in the political decisions of Tehran's urban management, and the continuation of this situation will have no consequences except for the aggravation of the gaps. Therefore, in this research, in addition to identifying key factors and variables affecting the institutional capacity of urban management and creating changes in the formulation of urban policies, paying attention to upstream documents and the participation of actors, it has the attention of all civil institutions in synergy and interaction in the policy-making process and reducing interference. The government wants to make decisions. During such a process, all managers (macro, medium and small) should consider themselves as participants in the network of power and decision-making and policy-making and participate in Tehran's development plans and programs. With these interpretations, this research seeks to answer the question, what are the key factors and variables affecting the institutional capacity of Tehran metropolis management?Methodology:      From the point of view of the goal, the research is of the type of applied-developmental research, in terms of the main research methods, it is in the descriptive-analytical research. Also, the type of data in the research is a survey, and the main tool used to collect data is interviews with managers, experts of Tehran Municipality and university professors in the form of a questionnaire, which is a suitable tool for narrative. These people are generally those who have been active for many years in the field of research in the relevant headquarters and organizations of the Tehran Metropolitan Municipality, or have been in relevant institutions, research institutes and urban management organizations, or have been in related executive responsibilities. The response scale was completed and weighted in the form of Likert in 5 degrees. The sampling method in this study was simple random sampling and the sample size was determined to be 100 people with a measurement error of ten percent.Results and discussion:       In the background variables which in this research are sex, age and education, using frequency distribution tables, the results are as follows; The distribution of respondents according to gender is 45 women, 55 men and the average age is 37.5 years. The percentage of respondents' education is 28.6% bachelor's degree, 36% master's degree and 35.4% doctorate respectively. The respondents' answers were presented in the form of a 5-point Likert scale (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, relatively satisfied, satisfied and very satisfied). The overall assessment of institutional capacity indicates that 2.06% of institutional capacity variables are very satisfied, 8.19% are satisfied, 24.03% are relatively satisfied, 44.78% are dissatisfied and 20.94% are very dissatisfied. The findings of the research in Table 3 show that the components of readability and transparency of laws and regulations, legality, intra-institutional interaction among the components have the highest average, respectively. Also, the inter-institutional capacity component has the least importance with an average of 3.35. Regarding the significance of the test, it can be said that the components are significant at the 95% level.Conclusion:      Tehran metropolis does not have a specific, defined and formal system for managing the institutional capacity of urban management; But this system is managed and transmitted by relying on the structures, methods and common norms of urban and rural governance. The fragmentation and fragmentation of urban management in the city of Tehran due to the different institutions and organizations that originate from the city government model, the lack of capacity for inter-institutional and intra-institutional interaction can be seen as the result of the official dominance of the power institutions and the non-alignment of informal institutions with their policies and programs. Tehran metropolis has institutional potential in formulating, regulating laws and regulations, effectiveness of activities and measures and success rate of urban management in relation to institutional processes. The sustainability and human-centeredness of the future development of this complex requires building the capacity to accept new forces in the management organization of the region by referring to the teachings of the urban governance approach and strengthening the sense of trust and cooperation among all these actors. More than ever, the development of the metropolises of the country, especially Tehran, the way of planning the management of the regions is dependent on the institutional capacity and somehow tied to it. In the absence of urban management policies and trans-sectoral approach, inter-institutional challenges and transparency, accountability, and capacity building have become much more pronounced and do not show a decreasing trend.The components of communication resources and the ability of institutions have a far greater contribution compared to other components in predicting the dependent variable, such that a unit change in the standard deviation of communication resources and the ability of institutions causes the standard deviation of the dependent variable (institutional capacity) to increase. urban management) to change by 28 and 18 percent. While a unit change in the standard deviation of participation only causes the standard deviation of the dependent variable to change by 2%. Also, the components of institutions-ability, transparency, internal-interaction, legality, inter-institutional-interaction and inter-institutional-capacity, because the significance level is higher than 0.05, show that they do not have a significant effect on predicting the institutional capacity of urban management.

        During the last one or two decades, with the increase in crises, the resilience of cities and regions against natural and human hazards has received particular attention. The aim of this research is the spatial analysis of the components affecting the urban resilience of the metropolis of Tehran (the political and economic capital of Iran) in the form of ecological indicators and identifying the most important factors affecting them. In this research, firstly, indicators in 7 categories include water transfer reservoirs, waste collection centers, water and wastewater treatment centers, green use and parks, brown and barren lands, fault lines, and air pollution in the GIS software environment using resilience state overlay tools. It showed the areas. The future research discussion of this article consists of two parts. In the first part, in order to create a base of existing primary factors about the components of spatial resilience, from the environmental scanning technique (examination of articles and printed sources, interviews with experts, and monitoring of conventions and conferences) and review of the literature background. In the second part, experts and elites were asked to identify the most important factors affecting the ecological resilience of the environment within the next 10 years. Finally, 18 variables were determined by Delphi, and Mic Mac software was used for data analysis. The findings showed that the spatial analysis of the resilience of Tehran city in the ecological dimension of the environment is in an unstable state by considering the effect-dependency analysis diagram. Based on the findings, the variables of fault zones and earthquake intensity, drought, establishment of production and industrial resources (power plants and industries), proximity of risk centers, soil quality, quality and quantity of water reserves, environmental pollution, threats of geomorphological origin (landslide, subsidence) and..) has the highest influencing factor on the ecological dimension of the resilience of Tehran city. Extended Abstract Introduction: Today, societies are trying to achieve conditions that will provide them with a quick return to the pre-crisis situation in case of various accidents and damages. Therefore, in recent studies particular emphasis has been placed on resilience and the promotion of resilience against various accidents and crises has become an important and broad field, so the simultaneous and mutual movement of sustainable development and increasing resilience is currently being discussed. Urban resilience is one of the most important and key approaches that guarantee the survival of human settlements. Unfortunately, in recent years, the vulnerability of Iranian cities to unexpected incidents and accidents has increased, which has made the need for foresight in this field even more important. The ever-increasing speed of changes in the first decade of the 21st century has led to the emergence of an era called uncertainty and has placed an environment full of opportunities and threats in front of the current complex systems. In this unstable and rapidly changing environment, the traditional tools of planning will not be responsible for the medium and long term. During the last two centuries, and especially from the 20th century until now, a completely different approach has emerged in urban and regional planning, but the nature of planning, i.e. purposefulness, systematicity, and having future guidelines, remains intact. The important point is that the type of attitude and intellectual foundations that prevailed in different times have changed in the category of planning, which has caused the creation of different styles in planning. One of these approaches is planning based on the future research scenario. The importance of the issue comes from the fact that the city of Tehran has a population of 8,693,706 people, and this city, as the capital and the first metropolis of Iran, faces many challenges, including the ever-increasing population and the subsequent abnormal development of the urban body (in the event of an earthquake, witnessing a human disaster and fewer casualties in the world) we will be). The purpose of this article is to evaluate the spatial resilience of Tehran city from an ecological perspective and to provide suggestions and solutions by examining the current situation. Methodology: In terms of the purpose, the research is of an applied type, which was carried out by a descriptive-analytical method based on documentary library studies and field investigations. Considering the nature of the data and the impossibility of controlling the behavior of the effective variables in the problem, this research was of a non-experimental type and was carried out within the framework of the case-analytic model. The investigated community was the statistical block and all urban and residential uses of Tehran city, and the main data was obtained mainly by using the data of the urban blocks of the Iranian Statistics Center and the available documents, including the comprehensive and detailed plan. Available information layers, field observations, targeted questioning of municipal experts, and specific data produced in the software environment of the GIS geographic information system, as well as document and library study, have provided another part of the required information for the article. To achieve the objectives of the research, indicators in 7 categories including water transfer reservoirs, waste collection centers, water and wastewater treatment centers, green use and parks, brown and barren lands, fault lines, and air pollution based on existing land use studies and revision The detailed plan of Tehran city areas was extracted. In the following, for the spatialization of the studied indicators at the level of the texture of the regions, the method (Tracking Analyst Tools) has been used in the network analysis process (Spline Tools) in the ArcGIS software environment. In the second part, experts and elites (25 people) were asked to identify the most important components affecting Determining environmental-ecological resilience within the next 10 years. Finally, 18 variables were determined by Delphi, and MIC MAC software is used for data analysis. Results and discussion: In the analysis of the effect-dependency matrix, it is necessary to pay attention to the arrangement and ecological spatial distribution of the metropolis of Tehran with the model of future research in the framework of Figure 5(t). The pattern of this distribution will have a very direct relationship with the stability or instability of the environmental-ecological resilience system in the Tehran metropolis with a forward-looking approach; In such a way that stable systems, while having indicators with a high degree of influence and effectiveness, the variables also have a normal distribution in other levels of the diagram. And in unstable systems, the distribution of variables does not have the same normal pattern, and most of the indicators tend to be high or low. Therefore, according to the analysis, it can be found that the environmental-ecological resilience system of the Tehran metropolis is in an unstable state by considering the effect-dependency analysis diagram, and it indicates the instability of the influencing variables and the continuity of their influence on other variables. Each of the variables is placed in a certain place in the diagram according to the degree of influence. According to Figure 5(t), the position of the variables in the diagram indicates their status in the system and their role in the dynamics and evolution of the system in the future. Conclusion: The results of the evaluation, while at a high level, comply with the realities surrounding urban resilience in Tehran, in such a way that in the framework of prospective studies and by using the scenario approach, it is possible to measure the general state of resilience, and model Its stability or instability was also found from how the variables are spatially distributed on the level of graphs and figures output from Mic Mac software.

The development of the tourism industry has benefits such as job creation, transportation optimization, increasing the income of local residents and supporting cultural and natural heritage. But its development requires sufficient knowledge and understanding of economic, social and cultural issues and factors. Tourism is a clean activity that can be effective in preserving nature for future generations and helps developing countries in solving problems such as unemployment and poverty by stimulating the potential of these countries. Due to its nature, this industry is a complex and mixed activity and requires the participation of various and numerous sectors of the society, and it also leaves extensive positive and negative effects at different levels. Cities are one of the most important residential destinations for tourists, and urban tourism is a type of tourism where citizens interested in cultural, historical, religious and natural attractions spend part of their free time in these places. In recent decades, the growth and development of the tourism industry and its adoption as one of the major economic activities by developed and developing countries and the competition of major tourist destinations in order to attract tourists have prompted planners to increase the income from Tourism activities should pay attention to two important categories: first, increasing the satisfaction of tourists and improving the pleasure and quality of the tourism experience, and second, trying to protect the interests of the host communities.Due to the accumulation of social infrastructure and civil institutions, cities have the ability to attract domestic and foreign tourists, and therefore they are the destination of many tourists. According to MasterCard's report in 2015, the top ten tourist-friendly cities in the world were: London, Bangkok, Paris, Dubai, New York, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Seoul, which attracted a total of more than 133 million tourists. It is also noteworthy that seven Asian cities are among the top ten tourist cities in the world.Methodology:    This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method of work. To collect the required data and information, library-documentary and field studies (questionnaire distribution) were used and for data analyse used MicMac software. The statistical population of the study consists of all experts in the field of tourism development in the metropolis of Tehran Using the snowball sample size selection method, Finally, 30 experts were selected as the sample size. Results and discussion:   Findings show that a total of 28 factors affect the development of tourism in Tehran the extent of this effect is from strong to weak. The results indicate that human factors in this metropolis have the greatest impact on the development of urban tourism and These factors include the development of infrastructure related to domestic and foreign tourism, Accommodation and welfare facilities, security, Historical monuments and facilities related to medical services.Conclusion:    Urban tourism is one of the sustainable sources of income for cities, and urban management with medium-term and long-term planning can make the most of this industry. The development of urban tourism is influenced by various factors, some of which are human and others are natural. The results of the present research, which was conducted with the aim of identifying the key factors affecting the development of tourism in the metropolis of Tehran, indicate that human factors in this metropolis have the greatest influence on the development of urban tourism, and these factors include the development of infrastructure related to domestic and foreign tourism, facilities accommodation and welfare, security, historical monuments and facilities related to medical services. Considering the dependence of these factors, Tehran metropolis can play a role as one of the most important destinations for medical tourists and historical tourists.Urban management policies and programs are among the most important factors that affect all factors of tourism development in Tehran metropolis, as urban management can provide other related factors such as security and cooperation of the private sector through the participation of citizens in tourism activities. Considering the geographical location and also being the capital city of Tehran, the influencing factors on its tourism development are more than other cities in the country and reciprocally, the development of urban tourism in Tehran can also affect the development of tourism in other places in the country.

        The stock market is one of the main components of the economy, and various factors cause fluctuations in it, one of which is the effect of investors' behavior. Therefore, present study seeks to answer the question of whether the feelings and sentiments of investors might intensify the fluctuations in the Tehran Stock Exchange or not. To answer this question, at first, in order to quantify sentiments, as non-abstract variables, the Equity Market Sentiment Index (EMSI) was used that investors are classified in 5 categories of completely risk-averse, risk-averse, neutral-risk, risk-taking and completely risk-taking. Using GARCHi-in-Mean, results indicate that the sentiments of investors will result in greater fluctuations in the Tehran Stock Exchange. Hence, if fluctuation is considered an indicator of market risk, the excitement associated with an abnormal rise in volumes will increase that risk. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is to investigate the reasons for tax evasion in companies, which uses two independent variables (financial constraints and tax planning opportunities) and tow dependent variable (firm value and tax evasion by tax difference method) in the form of 13 models. The 11 indicators have been considered for the variable of financial constraints of companies, and the model is implemented for all these indicators. The research was conducted in the 5-year period from 2015 to 2019 in the Tehran Stock Exchange, and Eviews software was used to analyse the data and fit them for 3 research hypotheses. The results of the research show that the opportunity for tax planning has a negative effect on the value of the company, and the increase in the opportunity for tax planning and subsequently tax evasion causes a decrease in the value of the company. Also, the research results showed that there is a significant relationship between tax planning opportunity and tax evasion (by tax differences method) of companies, while there is no positive relationship between financial constraints and tax evasion (by tax difference method) in companies that have tax planning opportunities.

        The present study aim was to investigate the feminist Ghazaleh Alizadeh point of views and examine the woman's image in her works. Feminist criticism was emerged as a serious, distinguished, and integrated approach in the European literature in the late 1960s, and its aim was identification of cultural roles and great achievements in acquiring women’s social and political rights. This method was developed in Iran in the beginning of 1960s by the novels written by Simin Daneshvar and continued by authors such as Shahrnoush Parsipour, Zoya Pirzad, and Ghazaleh Alizadeh. This study considered the feminist criticism of novels by Ghazaleh Alizadeh, and the women’s characterizations were analyzed with regards to content analysis. By reviewing these works, the readers would realize that Alizadeh has mainly exposed women to socio-political events after the Islamic revolution. With moderate viewpoints, she has criticized the solitude of women in the community, and by a mystic and theosophical approach, she has tried to highlight the roles and contribution of women in the social history of Iran.

        The city as a geographical, economic, political and sociological reality in each period of its development has been influenced by each of these factors and has influenced each of them. The complexity of each of these factors has created the complexity of the city as their spatial crystallization. Certainly, organizing and regulating the city and how it grows and evolves requires the thematics of the city and urban issues and then planning for it. In general, the belief in improving the environment is one of the sources of the idea of ​​urban planning and perhaps its most important ideology. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the detailed plan of Tehran Region 1 with emphasis on livability. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical methodology. In order to evaluate the content validity of the assessment tool, the questionnaires were provided to experts and specialists in the field. Findings show that the structural variable was the only variable that could only directly affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the detailed design. According to the results of regression analysis, the legal and executive variables have both directly and indirectly affected the efficiency and effectiveness of the detailed plan. The direct and indirect effects for the legal and executive variables are 0.429 and 0.201, respectively.   Manuscript profile

        The current research has found a semantic nature with the three concepts of urban management, smart city, and passive defense requirements, whose main goal was to present the requirements, elements, and components of passive defense in a smart city. A model whose role and form were found in the framework of urban governance approaches, such as the integrated management model, New approaches to urban management concepts such as participation, accountability, transparency, justice, local communities, distribution of power and authority, all-round urban sustainability, the presence of institutions in the decision-making system and urban decision-making, development of local institutions, institutional capacity building, convergence of institutions, social capital, synergy of institutions, suitable legal system, citizenship rights, etc. are its main keywords, and according to the mentioned concepts, it systematizes the urban management system. The current studies show that the principles of urban management are not compatible with the requirements of passive defense. The results show that Tehran is in an unfavorable condition in terms of intelligence, but in terms of comparing the components of smart city management, smart life is in the first place and smart governance is in the fifth place.

        The aim of the research is to analyze the effective factors in the development of sports activities based on the principles of land use and with a future research approach. For this purpose, the city of Tehran was chosen as the pilot project. In the input phase, PESTEL analysis was used for environmental scanning, and in the analysis phase, the global business model was used. For data analysis, 23 experts and Delphi method were used. After the theoretical saturation and confirmation (98%) of the experts, the questionnaire was distributed among them to measure the variables based on the degree of influence and effectiveness; then the data was entered into MicMac software and one 18x18 matrix was formed. The results showed that the matrix filling index is 96.197%, which indicates the high influence of the identified factors on each other. The variables were divided into 4 types based on the placement type; and the variables "Investment in sports", "Community income level", "Government financial aid" and "Education and promotion of sports culture"were the most influential in the studied system. Also, 6 variables "unemployment rate",distribution and distribution of sports spaces and venues","per capita and infrastructures","cultivation and heroism","interest and support of local communities" and "performance in international arenas" have more impact than effectiveness. And are the driving variables of the system. The "climate and geography" variable has the least role in direct and indirect effects. According to the results, the status of sports activities in Tehran is somewhat "unstable" based on the environmental approach, Manuscript profile

        In the event of an earthquake environmental hazard, reinforced concrete buildings in Tehran, in addition to destroying and inflicting extensive human and financial losses, will lead to the production of construction debris and mass debris. In this study, the reliability analysis in 110 concrete buildings running in area one of Tehran with the assumption of variable compressive strength of concrete and yield strength of rebar has been investigated. That is, it has compared the flexural frame and the flexural frame with the shear wall. And this is slightly higher in shear walls. Also, in all tested rebar’s (environmentally friendly), the average yield strength was higher than the nominal strength. Regarding seismic performance, shear wall structure has less general and relative displacement than flexural frame structure. The results of reliability analysis showed that the use of shear wall system instead of bending frame can reduce damage to non-structural components and consequently reduce the production of construction debris and preserve the environment.

           Since cement industries are among the polluting industries, efforts should be made to reduce the environmental pollution of this industry by planning and optimizing its raw materials. With this approach, considering the close proximity of Tehran's cement plant to the capital, it was decided that with the optimization of the planning of production of mines, the supplier of raw materials of this plant with the aim of reducing the amount of waste and pollutants to improve the activities of the factory stepped up in this direction Optimization of extraction and adjustment of raw materials was used in research methods in operations, especially linear programming. The most important sources of raw material supplies to the Bibishahrbanoo, Mesgarabad, Lapehzanak and Chehelghez mines (as CaO, Fe2O3 and Al2O3 fractionation compensators in the form of iron ore and bauxite stones). Cement production is based on the setting of calcium saturation modulus, silica modulus and alumina modulus, among which the calcium saturation modulus is the most important factor in the composition of raw materials. In this plan, the issue of short-term production planning, the modulus adjustment, and the determination of the contribution of each resource in the supply of feed to the factory becomes a very attractive engineering problem, which requires the solution of this issue in terms of environmental and engineering indicators. Based on data gathered from geological maps and exploratory boreholes, as well as the analysis of surface samples of the studied areas, the set of mines was divided into 31 utilizable blocks. Then, by coding in the Lingo software environment, the extraction of blocks based on cement modulus was prioritized. The results of analyzes in production planning showed that the amount of calcium saturation modulus in the optimum setting is 82.12% and the minimum amount of elemental (MgO) is 2.69%, which is the result of the Tehran cement complex and causes the least amount of environmental pollution.

        Radiometric errors are the most common errors of data acquired by remote sensing sensors. Correction of this type of error requires knowledge about the atmospheric conditions during imaging of the sensor. The aim of this study is to select an ideal location for the construction of a radiometric calibration site. Tehran province was selected as a case study to conduct research in a pilot environment. Based on the studies performed on the CEOS standards in site selection as well as the criteria observed in Cal Val sites, 14 parameters were selected as important and necessary parameters for calibration site selection. The data used in this research include two categories of satellite data and GIS layers. After applying the preprocessing on the data and obtaining the weight of each layers, suitable places were obtained for the construction of the calibration site between 2012 to 2019 years. Due to the importance of the consistency of the selected place during different years, the places that were always suitable between the evaluated years, were selected. The results of the research show an ideal location in the western region of Tehran for site construction, which has been selected very well suitable in terms of all criteria. In addition to developing the appropriate location for the calibration site uses, instruments such as san-photometer and goniometer were also developed to be installed on the site to provide services to multispectral and hyperspectral sensors.

        One of the processes that can examine the changes of the city for a period of several years and as a result predict the directions of urban growth and development in order to implement appropriate planning is urban development modeling. Therefore, urban designers and planners need spatial and temporal information related to urban growth patterns obtained through modeling. To discover and evaluate changes and urban development, multi-time remote sensing data can play an essential role due to the cheapness and speed of obtaining data from it, and geographic information system due to its analytical capabilities. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the size of the studied area as well as the required spatial resolution is important in choosing the type of satellite. The purpose of this research is to investigate the urban development situation in the 22nd district of Tehran, which has not been researched in this field using satellite data. In this research, we have analyzed the data of Landsat satellite in 2003 and Landsat 2018 in a period of 16 years. The studied area is the 22nd district of Tehran Municipality and due to the expansion of urbanization in this area, the relevant results showed that the development of urbanization in the 22nd district is increasing significantly and this trend is increasing towards the west of Tehran. In these 16 years, there has been the biggest change in the land use of barren land, which has become an urban area. Manuscript profile

It will not be found unless it builds the necessary infrastructure that has been a factor in achieving sustainable development, but it is also important to pay attention to the role of human beings and the education of this strange creature, as it is the ethical and creative city of a healthy city. But exactly where and in what manner and for what purpose it should be managed is the most important question of the present study. To answer this important question, we went to the library resources and followed some of them in the field, and based on the existing statistical tests, we concluded that Tehran had more population in the heart of its ecological potential. This has led to cultural diversity in the city of Tehran, as well as the lack of necessary personal and social education and exploitation, as well as the lack of education in achieving citizenship rights as one of the most important issues facing the Iranian capital. That's why there are so many problems in the areas of transportation, beautification, children, and the elderly and so on.

        Due to the natural conditions of Iran, ignoring the issue of floods can cause irreparable damages, among which flood estimation and flood zones zoning are of great importance in controlling the hazards. Due to the location of the catchment area in northern Tehran and the slopes and steep slopes, the precipitation and vegetation characteristics are one of the major concerns in this area. Also, the construction of villas and restaurants on the banks of the rivers and the destruction of vegetation have reduced the amount of infiltration water and increased surface water. The large volume of water on the one hand increases the magnitude of the flood inundation and on the other hand, with increasing erosion, it creates sediments that, by leaving them, reduce the capacity of the main riverbed. The main cause of these floods is heavy rainfall, sometimes accompanied by snow melting, causing flooding of the river and water flowing into the marginal lands of the river. In this study, we tried to study and zoning flood catchment areas in north of Tehran province using fuzzy decision making model. After analyzing the required fuzzy criteria each of them has been performed for zoning using gamma, or and and fuzzy information layers and for identifying catchment areas of gamma catchment catchment (0.8). Well highlighted flood-prone areas. The and operator extracts the maximum membership degree and does not have high accuracy in locating. Orger is also a collection sharing operator. As such, it extracts the minimum membership degree, thus making it very desirable for the present investigation of the gamma operator in relation to catchment hazard zoning. Manuscript profile

        Every year, there are several events in the world that occur suddenly and cause damage to humans and the natural environment; They are known as natural hazards. These hazards, due to their unexpectedness, in most cases cause a lot of human and financial losses. Landslides and earthquakes are environmental hazards whose occurrence causes a lot of losses and damages. Earthquakes are likely to occur due to (return period). Therefore, identifying areas prone to earthquakes and landslides is very important to use methods to prevent or deal with the instability of areas to reduce the risk and risk of them. The purpose of this study is to locate cities with emphasis on geomorphological constraints. For this purpose, first, among the most important factors affecting earthquakes and landslides, 6 factors are the amount of slope, slope direction, geological material, distance from the fault, seismic acceleration and rainfall, the data of which were possible for all provinces of Tehran. They were classified based on engineering judgment in the GIS environment. In the AHP method, based on the layers, the information layers, weighting and combining were combined, and then the earthquake risk and landslide risk zoning map was prepared in the GIS environment. Therefore, landslide and earthquake hazard maps help designers and engineers to choose the right location for the implementation of development plans that the proper location for the implementation of sustainable development will not be possible without considering the limitations and its planning and management. The results of this study show that this province is the most threatened in terms of geomorphological limitations of landslides and earthquakes. Manuscript profile

It was classified based on Kriging interpolation. Finally, based on the air quality index table, the importance level of health safety was classified and the corresponding map was prepared. Through the IO technique, the location layer of sensitive and vulnerable uses was placed on the surface of the area and the pollutant layer. The results showed that district 10 of Tehran municipality with an average concentration of 42 micrograms per cubic meter is the most polluted area in terms of this pollutant in Tehran. also; The highest amount of PM2.5 pollutant is related to the central and southern half of the region. also; The most polluted month of the year was November with an average concentration of 56 micrograms per cubic meter. This area has had 104 unhealthy days for sensitive groups in terms of air quality index based on the type of pollutants. The environmental and health risk assessment for this pollutant indicates that according to the William Fine method, risk number 105 has been determined, which represents the average level of risk. therefore; It requires corrective and emergency measures to control the risk.

        In today's changing world, technology is changing and evolving with increasing speed. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing the promotion and growth of sports start-ups in different climates of Tehran. This descriptive-survey type of basic research was conducted in a mixed manner (qualitative and quantitative) using the systematic design of the database theory. The statistical community was investigated in two qualitative and quantitative parts. In the qualitative part, the sports spaces of Tehran city were selected according to the different climates from the northern and southern regions in the form of accessible sampling, and in the quantitative part, the statistical population includes managers, executive officials, professors and experts of sports places and spaces in Tehran, which according to Using the method of structural equations, 220 people were selected as a statistical sample in the form of available sampling. GIs software was used for analysis in the qualitative part. In the quantitative part of convergent validity and reliability tests, to check the normality The Klomogrove Smirnov test was used for the data and structural equations and pls software were used to check the relationships between the research variables. The results showed that the northern areas of Tehran have a more suitable situation for sports space startups. Since the strategic document of the country's comprehensive sports system did not particularly pay attention to start-up business and entrepreneurship, therefore, it is necessary to consider the mission of these newly emerging companies, strategies and priorities such as reducing administrative barriers to start new businesses. Entrepreneurial activities, teaching this type of start-up activities at all educational levels with a focus on physical education schools and strengthening the connection of scientific centers of universities with the sports industry should be considered for the country Manuscript profile

        Turtles are reptiles of Testudines order and they are considered as key species in the habitat, their presence contributes to the survival and sustainability of biodiversity. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution and species diversity of turtles in the southeast of Tehran province. Turtle sampling was done in from spring to the end of summer 2015 was done monthly and based on field work in 12 stations but turtles were present in only 5 stations, there was a turtle, so that no turtles were found in Pishva and Pakdasht counties.56 turtles were collected from 5 stations in the southeast of the province. After complete biometry and sex determination, they were measured by identification keys. From the 56 collected sample, 36 were male and 20 were female. All species belonged to Mauremys caspica caspica subspecies. After identification, statistical analysis of data was performed using Excel and Spss software. Although numerically the highest number of samples was related to Shahzadeh Mohammad-Ijdan and Bahram Lake stations and the lowest number was observed at Davoodabad village station, but statistically it was found that there is no significant difference in the distribution of this species between stations that the sample was found (p>0.05). The male to female sex ratio was 1: 1. There was also a significant difference between sex and tail length, distance from Plastron to cloaca and distance from cloaca to end of tail (p<0.01).

        Foreign traveler reports contain a wealth of information about customs, ethics, social behavior, and cultural practices. These personal or political notes, on the one hand, illustrate the urban issues in part and in a rather precise manner. On the other hand, because of the lack of dependence on power centers, the weaknesses and strengths of the community and the city are reported to Nikki. Tehran is one of the cities that foreign tourists of the Qajar period paid special attention to. In fact, the capital of Tehran during the Qajar period has flooded the tourists, despite the fact that there are few reports of this place in Islamic sources, and in particular the Safavid period. In travelogues, sometimes the people of Tehran are characterized by accepted patterns such as intelligence and hospitality, and sometimes described with malicious patterns such as lying, flattering, and superstition. The present study aims to draw a descriptive-analytical method using library resources, ethics, social behaviors and cultural practices of Tehran's people from the perspective of tourists and travel writers of the Qajar era.

        Mosque is the most outstanding religious building in Islam and although its most important function is worshiping God, it becomes bold in the field of art and its building is an honor for political systems. In Qajar era, constructions of mosques had two forms: restoration of Grand mosques & constructions of modern, multi-functional mosques, especially in Tehran. This procedure was influenced by Iran’s entry into the stage of modernity and therefore intrigued in architecture, decorations and mosques’ functions. This research based on theoretical studies not only mentions the procedure of building mosques in Qajar era of Tehran, but also tries to study effective terms and conditions in building mosques and its subsequent development. The consequences of this study indicate that in Qajar era, while Safavid art was following, appropriate styles to transition period were used in the construction of religious buildings, especially mosques.In the section of religious places, mosques are the most important ones, so because of the growth of spirituality, tendency for religious demonstrations and services, urban development, Tehran expansion and also art and honesty that were supported by kings and nobles, some mosques were built for ritual-educational functions and integrated arrays.

        From a historical point of view, the Hesar is an interconnected set of walls, gates, towers and ditches that play the defensive function and protect the city's main environment. Until the advent of the modern world and the collapse of the Hesar, it was thought that it would deprive cities of security. Accordingly, most of the cities were within a strong Hesar, and they were repaired from time to time. Tehran’s Hesar was built by the Shah Tahmasb Safavid’s order in 961 AH, and 323 years later, 1284 AH, was destroyed by Nasser al-Din Shah. In the same year, the construction of a new Hesar was began. During the reign of Reza Shah, with the leadership of Karim Agha Bouzarjomehri, the mayor of Tehran, the Hesar was destroyed in order to develop the city. The issue of this article is to study the shape of Tehran's Hesar such as wall area and strength condition, tower and fortification, use of gates and its aesthetic theme in Qajar architecture, ditch dimensions and its function in the Qajar period. The importance of this article is that in the studies of Tehranology, little attention has been paid to the formal issue of the Hesar, while one of the main features of the city of Tehran, for which it created the capability of the capital, was the fence. This research was formed in response to this question: What was the shape and function of Tehran’ Hesar during the Qajar period? Manuscript profile

        AbstractDue to the fact that news papers have the feature of informingthey are of interest.Newspapers are the heart beat of public opinion. The importance of newspapers is such that pillar called it the Force democracy. The role of newspapers in increasing the level of political awareness of the Qajar period, especially regarding the constitution, is of particular importance.

        Municipalities are among the organizations that play an important role in the development of cities and the expansion of civic areas. Today, one of the most important issues for municipalities is creating sustainable sources of income and financing municipal services. Also, one of the biggest problems of the municipality is the reduction of the relative share of sustainable revenues, which will reduce the power of long-term and sustainable planning of this urban institution. In this research, as an applied research, the dynamics of municipal revenues, both stable and unstable, have been investigated using system dynamics. The use of systems dynamics method made it possible to study the causal relationships affecting the issue under study and by modeling the conditions prevailing in municipalities, it was possible to provide solutions to improve the current situation. The simulation results on one of the districts of Tehran Municipality show that with the continuation of the current situation, the share of stable municipal revenues will increase from 5% to only 21% in 1404. This is while the percentage of fulfillment of municipal revenue obligations reaches about 5% in 1404. Based on the simulation results in different scenarios, paying attention to the development of waste recycling infrastructure and focusing on increasing the collection of municipal toll revenues can increase the percentage of sustainable municipal revenues by up to 45%. The proposed model can be used as a basis for decisions of municipal managers to strengthen sustainable revenue sources and reduce costs. Manuscript profile

        Housing is the most comprehensive applied,and social type of architecture.The quality of housing construction has changed significantly in recent decades due to social changes and technological advances. Technology has been one of the factors of transformation in all aspects of post-modern architecture. Today's technology plays a role beyond the structure in architecture. Nowadays, the industrial supply of materials to increase the speed of implementation and reduce costs seems to be inevitable due to the advancement of technology and building construction as an industrial product. In other words, to produce high-quality and cheap housing, many other traditional methods of construction do not meet the existing needs of society. Thus, improving the quality in the production of materials, design, and implementation methods, speeding up the construction process, competition in the advancement of technology, optimal use of the workforce, and the use of new construction technologies are among the most effective components in this industry. Thus, gaining knowledge and information about new construction technology is an urgent need for engineers in the contemporary decade. The need to use construction technologies varies depending on the growth of each society and the use of technology in other industries, and the implementation capabilities of that society. Nowadays, technology has affected the dimensions of human life, so some experts believe that the world will be conquered by technology soon. Human efforts have always been in line with improving life facilities and utilizing normal, cultural, and social conditions. Thus, this study seeks to examine the role of technology in improving the quality of construction in the Berelian residential complex, Jannat Abad, Tehran. The status of technology in architecture causes various viewpoints. However, meeting the needs of users in architecture undoubtedly requires the mastery and use of technology in its various dimensions. Critics believe that the use of technology alone cannot respond to and fulfill all needs. The impact of technology on time, quality, cost, resource consumption, efficiency, and the ultimate achievement, which is associated with the concepts and goals of sustainable architecture, cannot be ignored in this regard. Modern and advanced technologies play a fundamental role in the development of contemporary urban architecture. In this regard, it is possible to improve the quality of construction based on the three Vitruvian principles of "static" "beauty"and "utility" architecture by using new technologies in the housing construction industry.The present study identified the components of technology affecting the improvement of construction quality in the Berelian residential complex, Jannat Abad, Tehran. It uses a fuzzy approach. It is applied in terms of aim and descriptive and analytical in terms of method. It is also considered a survey (questionnaire). In this study, data were collected using the library method, and some components were extracted through reasoning in the form of a peer-to-peer matching table between the two areas considered in the article by using the views of professors who are familiar with these areas.The analysis was done through the parametric test that compares the means in paired samples with the AHP model. The results revealed that the components of durability and useful life, the ability to control quality, reduce material waste and waste production during construction, ease of maintenance and repair, safety against fire, reduction of on-site construction operationssafety and high speed of construction, mechanization, and flexibility are among the most important components Also visual and functional harmony in the beauty part is a key component in evaluating the quality of housing construction. Given what was stated, materials are one of the significant components affecting the construction of housing Finally among the identified components, ease of maintenance and repairs, durability and useful life visual and functional harmony, and diversity (no restrictions in design) were among the influential components It can be stated that observing the effective components of technology can be useful and effective for improving the defects and reducing possible errors in the quality of construction in the residential complex, and the construction of industrial housing can be institutionalized as a culture in the country.Thus, the policy of development of building industrialization will be one of the effective and facilitating methods to solve the housing problem in Iran. Also, the industrialization of the building will reduce the cost of construction and the cost of buying housing. Manuscript profile

        Suicide is among the human behaviors influenced by different biological motives. In the current conditions, given some issues such as increased suicide attempts, lifestyle change, and decreased age of suicide attempts, it seems vital to deeply investigate suicide. Using qualitative phenomenological approach, the present study tries to focus on the data obtained from in-depth semi-structured interviews with 30 individuals who attempted suicide (23 women and 7 men) to understand and identify risk factors that are effective in explaining how the suicide occurs. The results indicate that to understand suicide, the psychological disorders, the consequences of antisocial behaviors, and the risk factors that over time have influenced the lifestyle on the individual, family, and social levels should be taken into account. In-depth interviews demonstrate that most of the respondents were involved with issues including addiction, nonconformity, multiple secrecy, free relations with the opposite sex, illegal behaviors, early marriage, running away from home, and dropping out of school. Thus, identifying the risk factors and the interactions among them is of crucial importance in this regard. Manuscript profile

        Iran has experienced devastating earthquakes in recent decades, each with significant damage and different socio-political consequences. What has caused public concern, especially among policymakers and managers, is the possibility of a severe earthquake in Tehran. Paying attention to the location of this city and the dimensions of the consequences of such an earthquake reveals the importance and necessity of addressing it. Many researchers, policymakers, and aid agencies believe that natural disasters strengthen alliance between groups and moderate conflict, but because they face a shortage of basic resources after people's disasters, natural disasters can provoke conflict and conflict within the country. The current study examines one of the neglected aspects of the consequences of accidents, namely political vulnerability. In this study, the future research method and a combination of Delphi technique and scenario writing, along with a questionnaire and a matrix of cross-referenced effects have been used. It has been used and referred to experts and specialists in crisis management for future research. Identification of key factors and the extent of the impact and uncertainty of the identified indicators of the political consequences of the earthquake were determined through a questionnaire compiled by experts panel. This questionnaire, which was extracted and designed based on the conceptual model and using theoretical framework, divided the influential factors into 32 factors.

        The present study was designed and implemented with the aim of investigating and analyzing the role of radio in the cultural development of Tehrani citizens. This research is of mixed type (qualitative-quantitative) and this article focuses on the quantitative part of the research. In the statistical analysis section, the opinions of 384 Tehrani citizens over 18 years of age were used. The measurement tool in the research was a researcher-made questionnaire, whose validity was confirmed using face validity and reliability using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. In this research, 9 indicators were extracted through the qualitative method, which are: attitude, tendency, and character, and cultural consumption, personal security of citizens, product, communication, achievement and human power. AHP technique was used to analyze and rank the identified factors. The results showed: the priority of responsibility and accountability over work conscience and social discipline, the priority of family orientation over religious ethics, were the most important duties of the studied sample in making radio programs for an effective role in cultural development.

          Investigating justice in gender relations is one of the most complex concepts in recent decades, the importance of which has been recognized by international organizations for social, human development and quality of life. This article is looking for an answer to the question of what the feeling of relative deprivation has to do with the  quality of life of women. The statistical population was made up of women aged 18 and over who lived in Tehran in 1400. Survey research method and information has been collected by face-to-face interview technique in the form of a questionnaire. The sample size is 404 people and the samples have been selected from five regions by random urban block sampling method. To judge the hypotheses, correlation coefficient test (Pearson, Spearman), independent F, correlation T and univariate regression were used. Findings show: variables (age, level of education, number of family members, income, marital status, family forms) are not significant with quality of life. But as the feeling of relative deprivation increases, the quality of life decreases and vice versa. Also, the physical well-being of women has decreased during the outbreak of Covid-19. So it can be said: the basic core of the feeling of relative deprivation, which is justice, strongly affects the quality of life of women. The feeling of injustice is the result of a deep gap between subjectivity and external reality. Of course, the feeling of deprivation is reduced by changing the conditions and providing information in order to correct mentalities. Manuscript profile

        Human life has changed a lot in all aspects since the innovation of the internet in the world. These changes include not only personal details and human characteristics such as behavior, habits and ways of thinking, but also great circumstances such as the evolution of decision- making methods and vital actions both political and international.In recent years, the cyber space effects and the treatment of people in the cyber space have drawn the attention of the specialists in the area of political actions. The main goal of this article is to examine the effect of Telegram on political participation of the middle class women in Tehran. By the middle class, we mean a class higher than the low class in which the participations are only voters in political elections and lower than the high class in which the participations are high rates of management and decision- making process. In the middle class, participations are moderate employee women in government departments, active women, women parties assembles and nongovernment organizations. In conceptual model used, is a combination of three media theories: including cultivation theory(Gerbner),public sphere theory(Habermas) and political participation’s indicators theory(rush). The achieve results confirm the positive effect of Telegram on political participation of women users in middle level in Tehran. Manuscript profile

        Improper use of antibiotics, and the subsequent residues in raw animal products such as milk, can directly or indirectly cause health problems in human communities such as allergic reactions and reduce the effectiveness of antibiotic treatments. The aim of the present study was to determine the residual levels of tylosin, gentamicin, and neomycin in milk and ice cream distributed across Tehran. A total of 125 samples, including raw milk, pasteurized and sterilized milk, traditional and pasteurized ice cream. The samples were randomly obtained from retail centers in Tehran from July to September 2019. The residual levels of tylosin, gentamicin, and neomycin were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Of the samples, tylosin, gentamicin, and neomycin were detected in 94.4%, 92.2%, and 96.6%, respectively. The highest tylosin residues in raw milk and ice cream samples was 26.72 ± 1.55 and 26.01 ± 1.55 μg/l, respectively. The highest gentamicin residues in raw milk and ice cream samples were 28.15 ± 1.29 and 28.8 ± 1.29 μg/l, respectively. The highest neomycin residues in raw milk and traditional ice cream samples were 33.46 ± 1.95 and 34.7 ±1.95 μg/l, respectively. According to the Iranian National Standard, in all tested samples the residual antibiotics were below the standard approval limit. Since most samples contained antibiotic residues, continuous monitoring of milk samples for antibiotic residues is recommended. Manuscript profile

        Mold contamination of feeds is a common problem in poultry industry. The aim of this study was to investigate mold contamination of laying hen diets around Tehran (Shahriar and Malard). For this purpose, 5 laying poultry farms were subjected to random sampling so that a total of 60 samples were taken from each poultry farm during four consecutive seasons. For counting and separation of molds, surface cultivation in the culture medium was used. After the primary growth of molds, slide culture was prepared and the macroscopic and microscopic indices of molds were defined. Seven types of molds were separated by macroscopic and microscopic studies. In terms of the total number of molds in laying poultry farms in each season, no significant difference was observed, but between seasons a significant difference was observed (p<0.001), as such, the number of molds in autumn (3.11±0.10 Log CFU/g) and winter (3.35±0.10 Log CFU /g) showed the highest level of contamination in all laying poultry farms. Also, the lowest number of mold contamination was observed during the spring and summer in all laying poultry farms. Fusarium, Penicilium, Aspergillius flavus, Mucor, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria and Ulocladium were the most prevalent molds in all seasons. Overall, there was a seasonal trend in the amount of mold contamination with maximal contamination observed during autumn and winter seasons. Manuscript profile

           In order to evaluate the seroprevalence of Leptospira interrogans infection in horses, blood samples were taken from 152 horses from 7 horse clubs in Tehran. Serum samples were examined using a microscopic agglutination test to detect the presence of antibodies against five live serotypes of Leptospira interrogans (grippotyphosa, pomona, icterohaemorrhagiae, canicula and hardjo). Of the tested samples, 23 horses (15/13%) were positive to one or more serotypes. Titer levels ranged from 1:100 to 1:200. Icterohaemorrhagiae (44/44%) was the most frequently detected serovar followed in descending order by gripotyphosa (29/62%), canicula (22/22%), pomona (3/7%) and serotype hardjo was negative. Statistical analysis using the chi-squared test showed there was no significant correlation differences between Leptospira interrogans infection and factors such as sex and age. The serum titers of infected horses ranged from 1:100 (n=19) to 1:200 (n=78). These results suggest that the icterohaemorrhagiae serovar may be the most prevalent serovar in the horse population Tehran. Manuscript profile

           Newcastle disease is the most important viral disease that affected pigeons. The disease is characterized by sudden onset of anorexia and neurological symptoms in pigeon. Trichomonas gallinae causes trichomoniasis of pigeons in the upper gastrointestinal tract and the respiratory system. The symptoms of this disease include yellowish green fetid discharge from the mouth, diarrhea, emaciation, severe weakness and death. In the first 6 months of 1392, from a total of 32      suspicious cases from Tehran and its surrounding, swab samples of the mouth, pharynx and larynx of birds were prepared. The samples were studied for trichomonas infection. At necropsy, foci of white to cream color in the oral mucosa, pharynx, larynx and pharyngeal and tracheal mucous congestion associated with the presence of fetid fluid in the crop were observed. Also, general congestion of the carcass, urate deposition in the ureters, and the emptiness gastrointestinal tract was observed. For detection of Newcastle disease virus (NDV), samples of the trachea and spleen were collected and RT-PCR experiments were performed on the samples. Trichomonas was observed in the samples under the microscope. All of the 19 samples studied were considered positive to the presence of high virulence strain of the virus. Metronidazole and supportive therapies were used for treatment. Adherence to the principles of biosecurity, treatment or removal of trichomoniasis infected birds, and annual Newcastle disease vaccine are essential for the prevention of concurrent outbreak of these two diseases.  Manuscript profile

        Abstract The formation and expansion of the concept of quality of life over the past half century, has become a key concept in global and human issues. Besides of this concept, quantitative and qualitative expansion of cities as the dominant form of human life has caused the emergence of a new concept “quality of urban life”. Simultaneously the emergence of the term “social capital“as the most important capital of a society to achieve sustainable and synergic development and success of variety of plans and projects has attained increasing importance. Undoubtedly the success of urban plans and projects especially in neighborhood scale directly depends on social capital and citizen participation. Since the social capital is the fundamental factor in any development plans and programs, to achieve the high quality of life in urban neighborhoods as a type of plan it is essential to take advantage of social capital capacities such as trust, participation, social relations network and cohesion. Otherwise the urban plans and projects won’t be able to reach to their final goal that is social sustainability and citizen’s satisfaction. This article is descriptive and comparative survey that examines the quality of urban life in the one hand, and its relationship with a social capital in the other hand. To evaluate the quaof the questionnaire Cronbach's alpha, for the review of the subjective and objective quality of life the factor Key words: Social capital, Quality of life, Haftchenar neighborhood, Tehran.

        The use of futures research methods can be one of the best techniques of optimal management in the future in which a critical moment may occur. In order to reduce the damage and losses caused by earthquakes, the necessary preparation is obtained with the help of futurology. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the vulnerability of the road network in District 2 of Tehran Municipality and its efficiency against earthquakes. The research method was descriptive-analytical. Criteria considered in the study were 8 land use criteria, number of floors (building height), building quality, building density, degree of enclosure, passage width, population density, distance from the fault. Information layers were prepared by documentary-field method. In the IHWP method, they were ranked, scored and processed in the GIS environment by the Delphi method. In the ANP method, it was evaluated by experts in super decision. The results show that the vulnerability class length in the IHWP model has the highest length in the very high vulnerability class with a length of 63.121 km and the very low vulnerability class with a length of 3.961 km. In the ANP method, the very low vulnerability class with a length of 135.35 km has the highest length and the medium vulnerability class with a length of 11.329 has the lowest length. In this method, the vulnerability class is very high, with a length of 40.94 km, in the second priority in terms of vulnerability length. In IHWP model, vulnerable areas in the center and a small part of the south in Azadi, North Rudaki, Niayesh streets and in ANP model, vulnerable areas in the south and a small part of the north of region 2 in Jannah highway, Habibollah street , Yadegar Imam Highway, Shadmehr, Niayesh Gharbi, Behboodi, Parcham, Nosrat Gharbi streets.

        Nowadays, urban management can influence the stability of neighborhoods. Currently, the most effective, least costly and the most sustainable approach for urban management practice is “good urban governance". The main objective of the current study was analyzing the “good urban governance” model in local sustainable development of neighborhoods in District Six of Tehran. The research method is descriptive- analytical. Hence, initially the neighborhoods in District Six were investigated in terms of indicators of good urban governance and local sustainable development by using entropy of Shannon weight model and VIKOR. Further, to explore the relationship between local sustainability and good urban governance, Pearson's Correlation and Multivariate Regression were used. The results of VIKOR Model indicated that neighborhoods in District Six are weak and unstable in terms of good urban governance and local sustainable development; moreover, in terms of good urban governance indicators, Gandhi Neighborhood held the first position and Behjat Neighborhood held the last position. Likewise, Argentine Neighborhood was the most sustainable neighborhood and Nosrat Neighborhood was the most unsustainable neighborhood with regard to local sustainable development indicators. The results of Pearson Correlation Test indicated a statistically significant relationship between good urban governance and local sustainable development in neighborhoods of District Six. Finally, the results of Multivariate Regression Analysis showed that among the indicators of good urban governance, participation index had the greatest impact on local sustainable development.

        Since the 1970s, with the turn of industrial-production capitalism to financial capitalism under the process of globalization and in sync with neoliberal approaches, global cities have witnessed the influx of capital to accumulate and reproduce it in their spaces.This movement of capital from the production sector to space has caused the spatial structure of cities to undergo extensive changes in their spatial, physical, economic, social and environmental dimensions. The consequences of privatization and commercialization of the public spaces of cities in order to reproduce as much capital as possible and space competition and polarization of space can be considered as the result of applying such attitudes. In contrast to this prevailing thinking, urban critical theories have been formed based on the fundamental criticism of these approaches and the explanation of the root causes of problems and the consequences of these approaches on urban spaces. This research, with a fundamental approach and a descriptive, analytical method, and using documentary and library studies through qualitative analysis from the perspective of critical urban theories, explains the spatial structure of Tehran and the effects of capital rule on its spaces. And in the process of spatial data analysis, it uses a spatial model (GIS). The findings of this research show that the metropolis of Tehran, both in terms of urban development plans and urban management policies, has been significantly affected by these capital-oriented approaches. And it has faced challenges such as profit-oriented urban management, polarization of the physical and social structures of the 22 districts of the city, commodification of housing, exchange of land and real estate in the open market, change of use and privatization of space.

        Future research involves a set of endeavors that visualize potential futures and plan for them by searching for resources, patterns, and factors of change or stability. Future research reflects how the reality of "tomorrow" is born from the change (or stability) of "today." The increasing trend of floods in recent years indicates that most parts of the country are exposed to destructive floods and the extent of flood damage and loss of life and property has increased. The purpose of this study was to predict the future of floods in Tehran using the svm vector support machine algorithm. The research method is spatial analysis. The data used were prepared in the form of information layers. The criteria used were altitude, slope, direction of slope, land use, distance from the road, distance from the waterway, geology. The IGR index was obtained for 7 effective factors selected for the occurrence of surface floods in the study area to evaluate the predictive ability of the model. The results showed that the weight of geological factors, altitude, land use, slope, slope direction, distance from the road, distance from the river were 0.029, 0.026, 0.025, 0.019, 0.015, 0.009, 0.008, respectively, with the highest values. 0.029 was assigned to the geological factor and 0.008 to the distance from the river. The final zoning map showed that the high susceptibility class to flooding was in the range of 40.63% and the very low sensitivity class was 3.55% in the lowest area. Manuscript profile

        Today, worn-out urban fabric is a source of crime and insecurity, and one of the approaches used to reduce the risks in these places is the CPTED approach. CPTED approach (crime prevention using environmental design) can be considered as a purposeful approach to efficient and intelligent design of environmental components by optimally using the artificial environment to reduce crime, which effectively increases social capital, improves quality of life and increases capital. Socially, it has a great impact. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate how to improve security in dilapidated spaces with emphasis on sustainable urban environment with the C.P.T.E.D approach. The research is descriptive and analytical and has been done in a library and field method using documentary sources and SPSS. The statistical population and the study area is Deh district of Tehran. The results show that the use of cpted approach in urban design and urban public spaces will increase social security in these spaces and, consequently, will improve the quality of life in these spaces for its residents. This is because the feeling of security as a mental matter is influenced by various social and psychological factors. Manuscript profile

        The expansion of urbanization and the development of cities along with the rapid increase in population, the development of industrial activities and the excessive consumption of fossil fuels have greatly increased pollution and have turned this issue into one of the environmental issues in recent decades. Tehran metropolis is one of the cities with high air pollution, which can be deposited in the soil and observed in the long term. In this research, in order to evaluate the concentration of heavy elements from the soil of the three areas of the 21st district of Tehran municipality, 10 samples were prepared with three repetitions and a total of 90 samples. Sampling was performed from a depth of 0-20 cm with three replications. Degree of pollution, pollution load index, and ecological risk index were used to assess pollution. Comparison of the concentrations of heavy elements and the trend of their changes showed that the accumulation of these elements has been created in the soil surface. The mean concentrations of the studied elements in zones 2 and 3 were higher than zone 1 (P-value < 0.05). Based on the results, the concentration of the studied elements in regions of two and three were higher than area one (P-value <0.05). Also, the pollution index being higher than one, indicates a high concentration of heavy elements compared to the background concentration in the studied area. The results of this research showed that due to the increasing development of urban and industrial areas in west Tehran, the soil of this area is highly exposed to heavy elements. Therefore, it seems necessary to regularly monitoring the soil of the region in terms of heavy elements and to carefully check the origin of these elements. Manuscript profile

        Tree growth has a great ecological and economic importance and stem analysis is one of the reliable and widely used methods which is used to study the growth of different attributes of the trees. In the present study, we evaluated diameter, basal area, and height and volume growth of two fast growing species (namely Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum). After falling down the trees, 5 centimeter thick disks at 2 meter intervals were collected and transported to the laboratory. The thickness of the annual rings was measured in two perpendicular directions up to1millimeter precision. The results showed that the highest value of the current growth of diameter of Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum occurred in 4 and 6 year ages, respectively, equal to 1.5 and 5.4 cm and the highest value of the current basal area growth of Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum occurred in 9 and 10 year ages, respectively, equal to 0.1 and 0.14 square meters. Furthermore, the highest value of the current growth of height of Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum occurred in 6 and 9 year ages, respectively, with value of 1.3 m 3.1 m and the highest value of the current growth in the volume of Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum occurred in 8 and 12 year ages, with a value of 0.094 and 0.1 cubic meters, respectively. Finally, there would be concluded that both of these species in such sites can meet the environmental needs such as green spaces as well as economic goals such as commercial wood product.

        The effects of air pollutants in Tehran city on leaf area, proline concentration, soluble carbohydrates and photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids) in acacia and persimmon were the subject of this research. At first, using the information of Environmental Protection Organization and Air Quality Control Department, Sorkheh Hesarbeh Park was selected as a clean environment and Azadi area as a polluted environment, and the desired plants were taken from these two areas. Leaf area in November (84) and June (85) and concentration of proline, soluble carbohydrates and amount of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids) in July (85) were determined and compared by spectrophotometric method. The results of this research showed that air pollution caused a significant decrease in the leaf area in acacia and persimmon. Also, air pollution increased the concentration of proline in two plants, Acacia and Persimmon. Due to air pollution, the concentration of soluble carbohydrates decreased in acacia and increased in persimmon, and these changes were statistically significant. The results of this research showed that as a result of air pollution, the amount of photosynthetic pigments including (chlorophyll a and b and total chlorophyll and carotenoids) increased significantly in date palm, and in acacia chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll and carotenoids decreased, this decrease is significant in the case of carotenoids. and the amount of chlorophyll b did not change much.

        distressed textures are regions which are separated from life evolution cycle and became the bone of problems and inefficiencies. Nevertheless, these textures account for high percentage of urban population, and yet have numerous capacities and potentials for future intra-city developments. Dealing with distressed and inefficient urban textures is not apart from dealing with economic, cultural and social realities, and entails careful, comprehensive and realistic planning. In recent years, urban regeneration has been brought up as a new approach for improvement and renovation of these textures. “Urban regeneration” approach is beyond objectives, desires and achievements of “urban renovation”, “urban development”, and “urban improvement”, and has comprehensive, consistent and sustainable outlook by considering all social, economic, physical and environmental aspects. The current study has been carried out by understanding effective factors on urban distressed textures and evaluating the sustainability and unsustainability of District 10, and using SWOT-QSPM methods; research variables were determined through documentary and library studies that include social, economic, and environmental indicators . Throughout the survey method, the required information was collected and analyzed using the entropy criterion and SWOT-QSPM model. Further quantitative results showed that this area is economically unstable in the first place due to its social and environmental dimensions. The instability of the economic dimensions of the tissue is that: this leads to the instability of the other dimensions of the texture and ultimately shows itself as a physical instability. Thus, the later approach of sustainable urban regeneration with the strategy (economic regeneration and community-based recreation), due to its integrated globalization and interactivity, can be an optimal version to intervene with this tissue.

        Public spaces are places where people have the right to enter without being controlled; places such as streets, parks, squares, markets and mosques. Due to scale performance and broad range of contacts, these places have the highest share in the collective life of citizens and help to create a healthy and flourished city. Therefore, improving the quality of these spaces will improve the quality of urban environment. The aim of this study is to investigate how to improve the quality of Azarbaijan and Rudaki Streets in Northern Sabalan neighborhood in the District 10 of Tehran. The research method is descriptive - analytical and the necessary data were collected through survey. The data for this study were collected using questionnaire. The statistical population includes residents of North Salsabil Neighborhood and the sampling was conducted using Cochran formula based on which 381 participants were selected. The variables based on PPS (Public Spaces Projects) consider these places successful in four key qualities: access and communication, usage and activities, sociability and comfort and finally phantasm. T-test was used to assess the quality and Pearson Test was used to assess the continuity of the criteria and finally Fridman test was used to prioritize the criteria. The results showed that due to density of their population, Rudaki and Azarbaijan streets were weak concerning the mentioned qualities. Therefore, to improve the quality of public spaces in the neighborhood, it is important to improve accessibility, connectivity, and adaptability of activities as well as to develop pedestrian paths, readability, efficiency, and to mix land uses in order to maintain public spaces in the neighborhood Manuscript profile

        Today, cities are extremely vulnerable due to population growth, industrial expansion, consumption of fossil fuels as a result of greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and finally climate change. With the expansion of cities, many natural surfaces go under construction, more synthetic materials are used, and population and building densities increase the production of heat from human activities. All of these cases, along with the type of land use in the city, cause certain characteristics such as radiant power, heat capacity, albedo, etc., and show a different surface temperature than other places. Space technology has been used successfully to determine surface temperature and urban energy balance. In this study, the surface temperature of districts 1 and 21 of Tehran was identified using Landsat 7 satellite images and its surface temperature was estimated by adapting it to the land use map of these areas. The results show that there is a close relationship between land use and surface temperature, as in these two areas, depending on the role and activity of each area, different surface temperatures have been identified. District 21 with industrial and workshop operations, barren lands, lack of vegetation, lack of waterways, and excessive use of artificial and industrial materials as well as production of heat due to human activities shows an average surface temperature of 5 degrees Celsius higher than that of region 1.

        The importance of sustainable urban policy has made it clear that neighborhoods and local communities have a role in the framework of the concept of sustainable development. Thus, the urban management plan is oriented towards the micro level. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the neighborhood houses in attracting the participation of citizens, regions such as Sohanak, Andisheh, Sadeqiyeh in the north, Imamat and Haft Chenar in central region, Atabak, Shohadayeh Gomnam, Aghdasiyeh, Khani Abad and Imam Zadeh Hassan in the south are selected as a example and are assessed in six categories of information and advertising, effectiveness, reliability, facilities, experience and expertise and satisfaction. The statistical population is consisted of women aged between 20 to 50 years old and a sample of 500 individuals is selected. The research method is survey and questionnaire. The results show that the participation of citizens in neighborhood houses is at moderate to high level. And there is a significant relationship between the variables facilities, reliability, activities, satisfaction, faculty expertise, information and familiarity and participation of citizens in a significant relationship. The overall results show that the performance of neighborhood houses proper facilities is effective in citizen participation. In other words, the higher the hardware and software facilities (trust, proper notification, appropriate activities, satisfaction and use of expertise), the higher the participation of citizens in the use of facilities and programs and activities of neighborhood houses.

                        Land policy making is generally aimed at optimizing the allocation of resources in land and housing. Land buying and selling without restrictions in the market and not receiving added value of land from the owner leads to the investment in the land sector and creation of the speculative demands in land and housing sector. This process causes land shortage and increase in urban land price in the process of urban development. From this point of view, the present study has focused on the laws and policies of urban land in Tehran metropolis. This study is a descriptive-analytical research, and the general method of the research is a secondary analysis. The results of this survey showed that government policies and laws in the land sector not only have not been targeted by countering the speculative approach in this sector, but have intensified the speculation in the urban land market. The ineffectiveness of the tax system in the land and housing sector, zoning rules, land differentiation and inefficiency determine the range of cities in urban comprehensive plans. Also the inability of laws to exclude or restrict the private ownership of urban land, lack of determination and efforts in local management to prepare land for new urban development, the weak performance of the government and municipalities in recycling land in urban areas, inefficient texture, are all the results of the past few decades policy making in the land and housing sector in Tehran metropolis, which in turn result in the continuation and prosperity of more speculation in land and housing sectors of the cities.   Manuscript profile

        Air pollution, as one of the most important environmental problems in cities, is a reflection of the reversal of unsustainable human activities in urban systems. Recognizing the problems caused by pollution in cities, the inefficiency of urban programs based on traditional approaches in dealing with its effects and accurate prediction of contaminated areas as part of the appropriate steps can provide useful information for planners to address this issue. In this paper, due to the air pollution problems, in order to accurately identify the status of the 22 districts of Tehran and the pollution process, appropriate zoning maps during the years 1395-1959 are presented. The goal is to move from not-real results to realism. The research method is a "descriptive-cross sectional" study, in which the annual average spatial analysis (AQI) presented by the air pollution sensing stations in Tehran is studied. At first, daily average air pollution was calculated based on the AQI index in Tehran during the aforementioned years, and then in the GIS software, the IDW methodology is used to obtain air pollution zoning maps. Also, the Spearman correlation coefficient model was used to analyze the relationship between two random variables and elevation. Then, by analyzing these maps, the most polluted urban areas and its causes were stated. The results showed that the highest air pollution in Tehran during these years were the central and southwestern parts of Tehran; moreover, there is no significant relationship between height factor and air pollution in Tehran. Thus, using the identification and generalizability of the theory of this research on contamination, finally, with regard to the more polluted districts of Tehran, effective systematic solutions were presented.   Manuscript profile

        Urban spaces are representations of the citizens’ life quality based on environmental, cultural and social structures. One can come to a clear and general overview on this point by analyzing those structures as parts of the whole city or society. The study of urban spaces from this point of view has been neglected due to several reasons including the ease of understanding the physical and environmental aspects compared to the meaning and performance of the urban spaces. This study is a strategic-urban one with an applied method obtained from the results of descriptive-inferential and library-based studies based on which our model has been formed. The accuracy of hypothesis was investigated using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) especially Partial Least Square (PLS) method in Smart PLS and the SPSS software. In addition, bootstrapping, confirmatory factor analysis, Cross Validated Redundancy (CV red.), Cross Validated Communality (CV com.), t- value test, Stone-Geisser’s Q² value and GOF index were applied in the study. The results of the study indicated the significant levels of 3.403, 2.405 and 6.085 for meaning, function and form respectively with acceptable level (1.96) which show that the three components of form, function, and meaning always have a two-link relationship (dialectic) with each other, and it may be possible to set a set of discourses among them that can be defined in the form of a general structure. Thus, these components in combination can be effective in the formation and occurrence of behavioral patterns by guaranteeing human activities. Manuscript profile

        Today, environmental issues have become one of the most important challenges for urban planners, and unbridled urban development has added to their complexity. Resiliency approach planning can, in all respects, create the capacity to deal with the turbulent future. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the environmental resilience of neighborhoods in the district 14 of Tehran. In principle, 23 neighborhoods have been investigated by selecting five environmental indicators. The five indicators were ranked by 30 urban planning experts through hierarchical analyzes of AHP, and then the Gray Relationship Analysis of the status and location of neighborhoods in the district 14 were analyzed concerning each indicator. Finally, the normal line of 0.714 was drawn as the final score in all indices, indicating that 12 neighborhoods had a low resilience. Based on the obtained results, the environmental resilience is reduced while moving towards the western and southwest neighborhoods,. This is in harmony with the texture and population density of the region. Therefore, urban planners need to understand the consequences and environmental costs of physical development rather than physical development itself.

        A variety of effects and functions have been enumerated for urban green and natural spaces, one of which is to increase the interaction of residents and neighbors. This issue is so important that today attention to the nature and green spaces of the city as well as the implementation of policies which release the people of the cities from problems such as isolation and cause residents to relate to each other, are of the most important tasks of the urban institutions and this is an important indicator for improving the life quality and community development. In this research, two residential complexes of Ekbatan in Tehran and Pardisan in Qom have been selected as the case study and the purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of nature on neighborhood relations in these two residential complexes. The method is descriptive – analytical and the results of the study showed that concerning the neighborhood relations, Ekbatan Residential Complex score was 3.08 and the score of Pardisan Residential Complex was 2.66. Also, in evaluating the satisfaction of nature and green spaces, Ekbatan and Pardisan scores were 3.81 and 2.61 respectively. In this survey, regarding the relationship between the two variables of nature with neighboring interactions, the Pearson Correlation test results showed a positive and significant correlation between these two variables, so that the overall coefficiency estimate was 0.669. This value was found in Ekbatan to be 0.684 and in Pardisan 0.516, which indicates a stronger relationship between these two variables in Ekbatan Residential Complex. Finally, in assessing the impact of nature and green spaces on neighborhood interactions in residential complexes, the coefficient of determination for Ekbatan and Pardisan were 0.384 and 0.717 respectively. Totally, the findings obtained from the results of 383 questionnaires were used to determine the coefficient of error with a 0.000 error value of 0.627, which confirmed the positive effects of nature and green spaces on neighborhoods and interactions.   Keywords: n Manuscript profile

        Women’s sense of social security is one of those important issues which occupy a prominent position in the feminist approaches. Along with the development of human societies, there have arisen diverse questions and controversies about women’s sense of social security. For example, can a woman lead a free life without fear in today’s world? In recent years, various studies have been conducted throughout the world, including Iran. Considering this necessity, the current study seeks to investigate those components that are influential on women’s sense of social security in public green spaces. The methodology used is descriptive-analytical and it is practical in terms of its purpose. The sample size consists of 165 female persons. They have been selected randomly. Apart from descriptive statistics, Gamma and Lambda correlations tests as well as Pearson and Regression tests were utilized for analyzing the data. The results indicated that women’s sense of social security in Niavaran Park is relatively strong. Nonetheless, the main argument focuses on the determination of influential components. The findings showed that the social capital with 0.69 and groupism with 0.19 regression coefficients had the lowest and the highest impact on the women’s sense of social security in Niavaran Park respectively. Furthermore, factors like age (0.36), education (0.53) and financial situation (0.35) had a positive relationship with women’s sense of social security. Generally, women’s security in society falls under the influence of social and environmental conditions on one hand and socio-economic base of the family on the other hand. Manuscript profile

        Cosmopolis as political-spatial phenomena affects the relations and political power of each other within the geopolitical framework of globalization at national, regional and international levels. This competitive environment is realized through the creation of a free market economy, the flow of capital and commodities, urban diplomacy, international relations, the sphere of influence of cosmopolis in the context of globalization, and thus creates a network of hierarchies of cosmopolis. In the course of these developments, two opposing poles with a different geopolitical atmosphere from the superior cities such as London, New York and Tokyo, and the black hole cosmopolis, i.e., Tehran, remain in isolation, despite its prevailing geopolitical position, and a major contributor to geopolitical processes which are not globalized. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship and the extent of Tehran's influence on globalization and its economic developments (eliminating deprivation and increasing social welfare) in the course of competitiveness, political and diplomatic relations with other cosmopolises. Theoretically the methodology of the research is historical and has a descriptive-analytical nature which is based on the analytical model of SWOT (three major geopolitical criteria of globalization, economic competitiveness and urban diplomacy factors), which after impact scoring as a positive factor for the development of more strengths of the weaknesses is its negative factor. The results show that globalization of the Middle East of some countries such as Istanbul, Abu Dhabi, Cairo, Dubai, and Riyadh, with the understanding of the geopolitical situation of globalization with other powerful cosmopolises (alpha, beta and gamma), are somehow better positioned in the hierarchy of cosmopolis than Tehran itself. In the end, proposals some suggestions have been stated to foster the political-economic relations of Tehran with the countries of the Middle East and Western countries thereby taking advantage of the geopolitics of globalization.  Manuscript profile

        Natural disasters around the world have always been a major challenge for sustainable development. As a result, ways to achieve this development through vulnerability reduction models have become necessary. Explaining the relationship between resilience to natural disasters and how social, economic, institutional, and political capacities of societies influence resilience enhancement and recognition of resilience dimensions in society is therefore important to reduce the risk of disasters. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the status of resilience in Farahzad problematic fabric and to present optimal patterns in these fabrics using single sample t-technique and structural equations. The results of the t-test of social, economic, and managerial-institutional resiliency indices showed that seven variables were used to evaluate the social index and also the analysis of collected data showed that people's satisfaction with ability variables, adaptation to turbulence, and participation rates, social bonds with neighbors are above average, and there is acceptable satisfaction. The p –value of the T-test for these six variables is 0.00, since the error is less than the acceptable error rate of the test, which means less than 0.05, the difference can be statistically meaningful. The level of satisfaction observed for these measures is moderately satisfactory to a level that is significant at the 99% of confidence level; however, for the variable of knowledge and awareness of the crisis, the level of satisfaction is moderate and there is a significant dissatisfaction in this regard, and since the observed p-values for all of these indices are less than 0.05, it can be concluded that the observed difference from the respondents’ viewpoint and the average level of community satisfaction were quite significant. Finally, the social resiliency index was 3.50 and the p-value was less than 0.05 (0.000). It shows the satisfaction of the people of the Farahzad neighborhood with the index of social resilience.

        In recent years, the connection between the university and the city has increasingly become a pervasive issue. Among the effective domains of the university is its role in improving the cultural quality of the historical context of cities. For this purpose, in this research, the role of the university in the cultural re-creation of the historical fabric of the Tehran metropolis has been investigated. The purpose of this research is to identify the performance criteria of universities in the cultural reproduction of the historical context. The research method is applied and descriptive-analytical. The research scope of the historical fabric of Tehran corresponds to the 12th district of Tehran Municipality. The statistical population of the research is specialists and faculty of urban planning, urban planning, and architecture. The sample of the study included 35 people and this number was chosen based on the opinion saturation of the elites. The method of data collection was an observation, semi-structured interview, and questionnaire. The method of data analysis was using the T-Test and structural equation method. The findings showed that universities can play an effective role in cultural regeneration with various examples. In this regard, the coefficient of the path between the performance variable of universities in cultural regeneration is 0.971, which indicates the fact that the mechanisms governing the internal structure of universities in the cultural field can be implemented as manifestations of cultural regeneration in the old context. Also, the structure of the effect of national and local policies on the performance of universities shows that these policies, especially in the national field, with a coefficient of 0.978 have a positive effect on the performance of universities. Therefore, it can be concluded that national policies have influenced the performance of universities and this performance can show its manifestations in cultural regeneration. Manuscript profile

        With the rapid growth of residential complexes and their physical development, we sometimes see the environmental quality of residential spaces deteriorating, leading to various life crises. Housing problems today include a wide range of mental disorders such as stress, anxiety, and depression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between physical components of architecture in reducing depression and anxiety in dispersed, striped and centralized residential complexes. The statistical population of this study was 3400 residents of 9 residential complexes in Tehran. Simple random sampling was performed using the Morgan table with 340 participants. To analyze the data related to ‘depression’, a researcher-made questionnaire, physical components of architecture in mental health,  was validated by 20 architects and experts in the field with a reliability index of 0.809 and a situation-trait anxiety questionnaire with a reliability index of 0.90, and a Beck questionnaire with a reliability of 0.93. Also, Pearson correlation and regression tests were used to analyze the data. The findings show a significant correlation between different types of dispersed, striped, concentrated, and stressed residential complexes and depression. Also, the analysis of the results showed that all physical components of residential complexes in dispersed complexes can be more effective in reducing stress with a correlation coefficient of 0.784, the beta regression coefficient of -0.550, and depression reduction with a correlation coefficient of 0.776, the beta regression coefficient of -0.574. The ratio of band and concentratin was also proved to be effective. Manuscript profile

        Livability has a significant effect on the life, growth of cities, and the quality of life of citizens. Despite the high environmental capabilities of many cities in Iran, they face many livability problems, and thus, their solutions are the major priorities. A livability is a suitable place for human life. Semantic and mental aspects of citizens, especially a sense of living place affect livability. Hence, this study assesses the effect of the sense of place on the livability of citizens in Tehran. Tehran, which is currently facing several livability problems, is selected for the study due to the high population and the large displacement of its population. To this end, the questionnaires' assessment, as well as the structural equation modeling (SEM), are used in districts 1,4,5, and 6. These districts were selected as the study samples due to a relatively balanced distribution of socio-economic and cultural strata in Tehran as well as different environmental and physical conditions. The obtained results indicated that the most effective way to improve livability yields the t-statistic in a range of 5.3 to 36.7. Besides, understanding the current situation of the city by the citizens of Tehran includes the social and psychological aspects, where the social aspect has more priority than the psychological one.

This type of habitance forms based on numerous factors; such as personal and structural factors. The aim of this research is identification of structural factors effective on homelessness formation in Tehran metropolitan area. The methodology of this research is practical, based upon the aim and descriptive-analytical, based upon the method and nature. Considering the aims of the research, at first, the factors affecting homelessness formation were extracted out of previous studies and with emphasize on right to city approach (which is the main approach of this research) and categorized into three political, economic, and social groups and into 15 criteria. These factors were written as a questionnaire and were asked from 20 experts (university faculties) to fill it. Through Fuzzy SWARA, which is one of the new methods of MCDM, and then Fuzzy ARAS, each of these factors and criteria were weighted and prioritized, respectively. The results obtained from the Fuzzy ARAS method showed that political and economic factors are the most important factors in homelessness formation by 0.4089 and 0.3909 weights, respectively. Among 15 criteria, the land and housing allocation policies (political factor), commodity land and housing under allocation approach (economic factor) and new urban policies (political factor) and demographic composition (social factor) were the most important criteria effective on homelessness formation in Tehran metropolitan area Manuscript profile

        District 22 of Tehran has always faced the challenge of land and housing policy in recent years, especially with the increase in population and the expansion of residential towers and its consequences. Attention to the factors contributing to the failure of these policies has always been considered important. This study was descriptive-analytical and the statistical population included municipality experts and managers in district 22 of Tehran. For this purpose, non-random sampling methods were used and 38 individuals participated in this study. To prioritize the items and indices, the Likert scale was used. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software. The results showed that the rate of complications for issuing a building permit, with a mean of 3.84 was the most important policy of government intervention in urban management. Also, according to the respondents, confusion about the decision and the lack of specific procedures following changes in urban land and housing policies as well as the recent fluctuations in land and housing prices, with a mean score of 4.21 were the most important factors influencing the non-efficiency of land and housing policies in district 22.

        Natural and human hazards pose significant challenges in the historic districts of cities, where a lack of awareness, preparation, and social participation among residents can lead to substantial damage. Recognizing the issues arising from such events, attention to social resilience becomes imperative in these areas. Consequently, this research endeavors to explore the indicators of social resilience, aiming to formulate a model specifically tailored for old neighborhoods, with a focus on the Evin neighborhood. The research methodology involves a comprehensive study utilizing both library documents and field data. The statistical population comprises 150 residents of the neighborhood, along with a group of 15 experts selected through the snowball method. Data collected through questionnaires were subjected to analysis using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Shefes post hoc test, and partial least squares (PLS) model. The findings reveal that Evin neighborhood exhibits positive outcomes across various indicators, with an economic index of 304, a physical index of 2.89, an environmental index of 2.88, and a social capital index of 2.84. Factorial and inferential analyses further confirm the favorable status of all social resilience indicators in the neighborhood. Structural equation model analyses highlight the significance of the social capital index, particularly the sub-index of participation and spontaneity, as crucial factors in the social resilience model for old neighborhoods, especially within Evin. Examining other indicators, such as economic, physical-institutional, and environmental factors, indicates their respective contributions to shaping the social resilience model of Evin neighborhood. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of understanding and enhancing social resilience in Tehran's old neighborhoods, with a specific focus on the Evin neighborhood.

        Urban vegetation provides valuable ecosystem services to cities and their residents. With the increasing recognition of the multifunctional benefits of these services, improving green space networks tailored to the environmental and climatic characteristics of each city is a global trend. Green roofs have also gained attention as an important element in enhancing vegetation coverage and green spaces. The implementation of green roofs in Tehran can contribute to reducing building energy consumption and mitigating hazards such as air pollution, noise pollution, and heat islands, while enhancing urban biodiversity. In a time when greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise and the impacts of climate change are affecting urban life, the application of green roofs can be a step towards increasing resilience. It is necessary to optimize and integrate green roof components within the framework of green, intelligent, and sustainable building approaches. Manuscript profile

        In 1990’s  we witnessed the  revision of almost  all scientific, philosophical, and artistic areas in human knowledge, for this reason, the view of urban renovation and restoration was changed compared with that of previous decades when a minor attention was paid to urban regeneration issues. Considering the past of historical identity of different period, it has a new identity consistent with conditions of today’s life on its agenda. Accordingly, urban regeneration becomes a comprehensive concept, a concept that considers improvement and rehabilitation of old textures in all economic, physical, social, and cultural dimensions. This research is a comparative study of regeneration of Khayam texture of Tehran, and Liverpool 1 in  the UK, because both samples are located in central texture of the city, and their surrounding textures has identity-related values. Regeneration plan for Liverpool 1 project (2008) was recognized as the Europe’s best regeneration project, and Khayam block redevelopment project (Tehran) is also the largest recreation plan conducted by Tehran municipality after Islamic Revolution. This comparison aims to study objectives and measures in the two plan, the reasons behind the success of Liverpool 1, non-realization of predetermined objectives in regeneration of Khayam, and finally, provision of solutions for realization of predetermined objective of Khayam texture. The result is that adoption of short term and temporal policies, with consistent and prearranged planning, and lack of public participation from the beginning to the end, and failure to consider historical identity and position of Khayam texture resulted in failure of Khayam regeneration. Descriptive-analytical and comparative research method was used. Data collection was conducted by documentary, library and field observation method. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this article is to measure the dynamics connectedness of Tehran stock market with stock exchanges of selected countries from the Middle East and China, oil and gold markets, the dollar index and the euro-dollar and yuan-dollar. To this end, a variance decomposition approach has been used to measure connectedness of markets between January 2008 and the end of July 2019. The findings show that the variance of forecast errors in most of markets are due to the shocks of those markets themselves. The Qatari Stock Exchange has a significant impact on Saudi and UAE stock exchanges. As the time horizon increases, Brent's oil market will be more influential than other markets, and this market will be more affected by the stock exchanges of the Arab countries and the Shanghai Composite. According to the results, investing in the Tehran Stock Exchange and the yuan-dollar exchange rate due to insignificant dynamics connectedness with other markets is recommended to hedge risk.

        The objective of this study is to model the extreme dependence structure from the crude oil price to Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) index. For this purpose, the conditional extreme value theory (C-EVT) was used to model the marginal distribution of returns on stock and oil market during the period 2008 to 2021. Then, the dependence structure of the extreme return was estimated by Copula models. The results showed that the crude oil market has contagion effects on the TSE. These effects are asymmetric and there is more dependence on the left tail. In other words, as crude oil price falls, decline of the total index is expected and these effects are greater when a positive simultaneous change occurs between variables. Due to the financial risks of the existence of contagion, considering structural extreme dependence can calculate the portfolio risk accurately and reliably. Therefore, it is suggested to pay attention to the structure of extreme dependencies between assets in order to optimize the portfolio. Manuscript profile

        Tourism is a group of activities that take place in a chain to help tourists and one of these parts is the tourist centers that, through the provision of various services, and can be a factor in attracting tourists and developing tourism in the region. This thesis seeks a descriptive and analytical method for strategic spatial planning, analysis, and the study of natural and human capabilities and the location of leisure complexes to facilitate tourism services in Tehran's 22nd area. Two methods were used for office studies and field study to obtain the information. The statistical community includes tourism experts in organizations related to the city of Tehran. For data analysis, SWOT analysis model, fuzzy interference techniques, and graded analysis model (AHP) with the help of Excel and GIS software were used. The results showed that according to the analysis of GIS, the most important places for the construction of leisure complexes based on the criteria of urban facilities, health, transportation, socio-economic and constructions, must be taken into account mainly in the north and west parts of the region. In this regard, the most important internal strengths and weaknesses are 0.430 and -0.504, respectively and the most important external opportunities and threats are 0.448 and -0.525.

        Usability evaluation can be the first step to improve e-learning systems. Since there is not an appropriate toll in Iran to completely evaluate it, the goal of this study was validating a foreign sample called UseLearn and its implementing in e-learning universities of Tehran. The research method was descriptive–correlational. A sample size of 288 was chosen through proportional allocation. The tool used in this study was UseLearn. The data were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis, Cranach’s alpha coefficient, one-sample t test, ANOVA and MANOVA. Results showed that 12-factor model tested in this study was approved by AGFI. Also, factor loadings obtained for the questions (except question 29) indicated the validity of the questionnaire. Single-sample t test results indicated that the e-learning systems in e-learning universities of Tehran are not in a good situation in terms of usability. Results of MANOVA showed that there was a significant difference between the means of components of UseLearn questionnaire. Thus, UseLearn questionnaire can be used as a valid tool for assessing the usability of e-learning systems in the country.  Manuscript profile

        Tehran Bazaar is one of the traditional and local institutions of Iranian society. During the Pahlavi period, Iran's political system, relying on a kind of modernist ideology, undertook policies that weakened Tehran's Bazaar, but with the occurrence of the Islamic Revolution, it was expected that in the light of the ideology of the Islamic Republic system, which emphasized a kind of local modernity, the Bazaar would take the path of strengthening and revitalization. Therefore, this article studies the consequences of urban policies on the status and position of the Bazaar in Tehran in the post-revolutionary period. In this study, a combination of interviews with experts and document study was used, and the data were analyzed and summarized using content analysis. Urban policies implemented and affecting Tehran Bazaar have been examined under the three main categories of "Transferring the functions of the Tehran Bazaar to commercial centers", "Strengthening the tourism function of the Tehran Bazaar and "Protecting and revitalizing the Tehran Bazaar". The overall result of these policies has been to weaken the Bazaar in most functions and to intensify the process of transforming the Tehran Bazaar from a multifunctional social institution to a purely commercial institution.

        This paper, utilizing qualitative methodology and detailed morphology, provides a sociological study of the economic structure of Odlajan’s quarter of Tehran as one of the primary historic quarters of Tehran. First, field observations of Odlajan’s quarter were conducted and all conflict-arising and interactive nodes were studied. At the same time, in-depth interviews with various people in the Odlajan’s quarter were performed. These interviews were 27 cases. The duration of field observations was five months (from May 2014 to September 2014). Research findings showed that Odlajan’s quarter is comprised of three main layers that include the core layer, the periphery layer and the Semi-periphery layer. In the core layer, traditional practices are dominant, dilapidated and worn out structures and major warehouses are located in this layer, so much so that we can consider this layer as “Bazaar’s surplus”. In the semi-periphery, economic practices move towards rationalization and modernization and finally, these economic practices are converted to rational practices in periphery layer. In general, as one moves from the core layer to the periphery layer, economic practices are more reasonable and the intensity of dilapidated warehouses and the economic and social problems is reduced  Manuscript profile

        Scattering of worn-out areas in the 22 districts of Tehran is a major challenge for the city. The Fifth Development Plan mandated a 10% revitalization of worn-out areas that could not be carried out by the unilateral entry of the Ministry of Road &Urban development. In the Sixth Development Plan, the issue was refined and 21 city offices were required to play a role, but evaluations showed that goals were not realized due to top-down planning and very low public participation. Therefore, the main issue is to examine the status of people's participation as the real beneficiaries of these programs. Using a qualitative- quantitative (questionnaires, interviews) method, and drawing on a descriptive-analytical approach and grounded theory, collected information including reasons, motivations, values, beliefs, and experiences of the inhabitants of the worn-out urban areas were analyzed. of their information and awareness. According to the theoretical framework of the research, participation stems from building trust, raising awareness, and empowerment of the residents- a topic that has not been adequately addressed in development programs. The findings of the study indicated that the level of public participation is low due to lack of awareness and information, which is contrary to the goals of the programs which, in turn results in the weakening of social trust and deepening cultural, social and economic poverty in worn-out urban areas. The multidimensionality of these challenges calls for the necessity of using multiple and simultaneous tools and programs. In this way information, education, improvement of social service experience, reinforcement of social responsibility and empowerment along with the use of the Block Chain as an information platform on security, transparency and trust can be helpful.

        Leisure time is an exceptional opportunity to transmit culture and foster social cohesion and happiness; however, the reality of women's leisure time consumption in cities and especially in Tehran's metropolitan area indicates a much lower share of leisure time than men and that there are serious limitations on their leisure, sports, and recreational facilities. The current study aimed at examining married women's leisure problems in Tehran. The research approach was qualitative and 23 semi-structured interviews were conducted with three groups of experts (policymakers, executives and university professors). Thematic Analysis was used for data analysing. It was found that two global themes of "Intra-governmental" and "Extra-governmental" problems could explain the leisure problems of the target group. "Marginalization", "Lack of special attention to women", "Conspicuous or exhibition policies", "Apathy" and "Managerial vacuum" are intra-governmental problems. "Restriction", "Dominance of consumption", "Accumulation of leisure" and "Conspicuous body project" are extra-governmental problems. This study illustrated that leisure problems for married women in Tehran have a cultural root and are caused by "cultural neglect and misunderstanding" about "woman" and "leisure". Manuscript profile

        The literature on urban entrepreneurship tends to emphasize sociological attributes. This approach reveals considerable insight into how and why entrepreneurial activities emerge, yet much unanswered questions remain about psychological characteristics that are found at the individual-level. Given this theoretical gap in urban entrepreneurship literature, the present study has investigated the effects of two intangible assets- psychological and social aspects- on the success of entrepreneurs. Social capital consists of three dimensions including structural, cognitive and relational that are derived from Nahapiet & Ghoshal (1998) and psychological capital is measured by Luthans et al (2007)’s theory. Entrepreneurial success is tested using a measurement presented by Gorgievski et al (2011) and encompassed both the financial and non-financial parameters. This study has been done on the businesses that are supported by Tehran Municipality. Based on cluster sampling, three clusters randomly were selected from 22 districts of Tehran. A structural equation modeling procedure is applied to the examination of the influences of variables and the research model was tested empirically using a sample of 110 respondents. The results showed that both social capital and psychological capital affected entrepreneurial success and also the mediating role of social capital was confirmed. These results suggest that urban policy makers and municipalities should focus on improving entrepreneurs’ psychological capital, particularly the aspects of hope, self-efficacy and optimism. However, the aspect of psychological capital (resiliency) should not be ignored. Manuscript profile

        The current research was conducted with the aim of presenting a new model of tower construction based on social sustainability development in Tehran province. In terms of data collection, it is considered as a survey method. In order to collect data, quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The statistical population consisted of two groups of specialists, PhD students in architecture and experts living in this city. The sample size was 384 for specialists and 14 for experts. Two methods of cluster sampling and purposive sampling were used. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire and interviews with experts. The data analysis method was the use of descriptive statistics indicators and Friedman test using SPSS software. The most important findings of the research indicated that the design of open spaces, art, culture and entertainment in the towers can be effective in promoting interactions, a sense of belonging and avoiding the negative effects of industrial life on residents. Flexible design of towers and removal of structural constraints with solutions such as (strip design of towers, design of atrium, facilitating proper access and installation of open spaces ...) can be effective in sustainable development and enhancing residents' sense of satisfaction. Proper design of roof and ground floor and creating appropriate social-interactive spaces, can play a role in reducing tower problems and creating vitality and public participation and, consequently, sustainable social development. Designing a leisure center and equipping the towers with basic public services (restaurants, shops, kindergartens, hairdressers, supermarkets, clubs, swimming pools ...) is able to create a sense of belonging and interaction, and on the other hand, reduce trips in the city and create social development.

        The Covid 19 pandemic has had many economic and social consequences, but the lower groups tended to suffer the most in terms of class, gender, ethnicity and race.  This study attempts to show the different aspects of the impact of the Corona crisis on women's quality of life. The hypothetical basis of the research is the theoretical literature on quality of life, social support, gender inequality and role system. The research hypotheses were tested using standard questionnaires of quality of life, Enrich's marital satisfaction, Phillips social support, and a researcher-made questionnaire on role weighting and social distance. The research data were collected by survey method and an electronic questionnaire available with the participation of 397 married women in Tehran and analyzed by Spss and Amos software. The results show that the Corona epidemic does not change the lives of men and women in the same way, and women are usually more vulnerable to the consequences of the virus. Women have the opportunity to enjoy a higher quality of life in the face of Corona through factors such as benefiting from the social support network, marital satisfaction, and presence in virtual social networks, despite the stress and pressure caused by the role.

        Investigating stages of physical growth and development in the cities of the world indicates the effect of two paradigms of modernism and postmodernism on the organization and spatial structure of cities. So that the effects of these two paradigms have led to the development of cities, the establishment and development of communication networks and highways, the creation of satellite towns and suburbs , and the greatest impact on the spatial and physical area of cities. Modernism and the effect of that modernity have had fundamental effects on the social, political, economic, cultural and physical spheres and most of all targeting the transformation of the urban community, including the city's physical-spatial dimensions, also they have greatly changed the concepts of urban culture. On the other hand, postmodernism has also had an impact on the spatial structure of city in terms of economic, social, political and methodological issues. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the spatial structure of Tehran metropolis from the perspective of modernism and postmodernism. The methodology of this research is descriptive-analytic and data collection is based on library and documentary studies. The results show that in modernism, components such as the physical viewpoint and single-dimensional urbanization, the creation of space spheres such as the creation of highways, air networks and architecture and high-rise construction and beady, respectively, were in the first to third positions, also in postmodernism components such as the mixed use and the diversity of housing construction, the existence of the principle of choice in the structure of city, and the average density and combined use of the combination, played a role in the first to third positions in terms of influencing the spatial structure on Tehran metropolis.

        The damage and casualties caused by natural disasters will depend on the state of readiness of the event. Building resilient cities of various sizes is a suitable and effective way to strengthen the structure of the city to deal with crises and natural and unnatural disasters. This study in terms of purpose is applied and in terms of method is descriptive - analytical. In this study, data collection was based on library and documentary methods and for data analysis we used AHP Fuzzy model. Results showed that the measure of physical properties of texture with a weight of 0.424, and sub-criteria’s such as Street width with a weight of 0.238, building resistance with a weight of 0.120, access to the park with a weight of 0.102 are the most important criteria and sub-criteria in physical resilience of Tehran's 12th district. The final maps of regional physical resilience showed that only 1.03 percent of the area texture has high resiliency and 74.64% of the area has medium resilience and 24.33% of the area has low resilience. Also, the results showed that Tehran's 12th district buildings according to the age of buildings and their quality, the narrow access, the fine-grained segmentation, the increased occupancy levels, and the lack of open space that threaten the peoples’ lives in this area are in contrast with urban resilience. This issue warns us of more damage and casualties when an earthquake occurs. Manuscript profile

        Population growth and development of cities, their transformation into metropolises and the issue of migration, cause an increase in population and many transportation problems. Hence, the Transit Oriented Development approach emerged as one of the most evolved development perspectives. The city of Tehran, as the capital of Iran, is always struggling with transportation problems. Districts 11 and 12 of Tehran are considered due to their centrality and the existence of important commercial centers; However, it has always faced many problems due to the increase in private car traffic, and to reduce its consequences, it has launched subways and high-speed buses. The purpose of this study is to investigate the situation and effects of transportation-based development in districts 11 and 12 of Tehran. The research method is descriptive-analytical and is one of the few researches that used field method and questionnaire tools to collect data. The statistical population of the study consisted of citizens and users of subways and buses, of which 100 people were randomly interviewed. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the elite comprehensive and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's coefficient of 0.80. Analyzes were also performed in SPSS software. The results showed that the three land use variables around the stations, access network and communications, as well as the spatial quality of the stations are at a level of less than 0.05 and the average is equal to 2.53 confirms that the status of stations in areas 11 and 12, inappropriate. The result of t-test of independent samples at the level of less than 0.05 confirms that region 12 is in a more suitable condition than region 11. The result also shows that the physical, economic, social and environmental effects of transportation and operation of stations in areas 11 and 12, at a level of less than 0.05 are significant and the effects are positive and moderate. The mean difference of 0.050 confirms that Region 11 has more physical, economic, social and environmental effects than Region 12. The regression model also showed that at the level of less than 0.05, the greatest impact on the development of transportation-oriented, was related to the variable of spatial quality of stations with a coefficient of 0.327.

        Considering the special geographical-climatic conditions and the high consumption of fossil fuels in Tehran, the design of buildings, consistent with the climate and in order to benefit from renewable energies such as solar energy is necessary. The physical characteristics of buildings have a very important role in the regulation of microclimate conditions and thermal situation of interior and exterior spaces of buildings. The aim of this research is to determine the proper form, aspect ratio and orientation of buildings, based on the amount of received solar radiation in Tehran. In this research, six geometric forms, including square, rectangle, hexagonal, octagonal, hexadecagon and triacontadigon with an equal area and elevation were studied. Using the Q-BASIC software, the azimuth angle and altitude of the sun were extracted, then, based on “Law of Cosines” computational method, the amount of energy received at the vertical surfaces was estimated in 32 geographic directions. The results show that the highest amount of annual received energy is related to the rectangular form with the North-South orientation and the least amount is related to the rectangular form with East-West orientation. The best form of building in Tehran is a rectangle with East-West orientation and after that is the square form. The most suitable aspect ratio for the rectangular form with the East-West orientation is the ratio of 1: 1.4. The most appropriate orientations for the specified aspect ratios, are the 165 degrees South-East and South-West and then is the directions to the South. Manuscript profile

        Density can be defined as a benchmark or a measurement system. The economic dimension of congestion is perhaps the most important issue in this category because the national economy, local economy and household economics directly affect urban density. On the other hand, the land value is very important, and on the other hand, financial power, operating factors and urban management in helping housing programs, providing land and housing, as well as urban services, all contribute to the formation of the nature of urban congestion and the realization of density The projections are effective in urban development projects. The purpose of this study was to analyze the consequences of surplus sales on zone 2 of Tehran, which was done by descriptive and analytical method. And after the conclusion, the data analysis method was used with the swot model to access the results. The study zone is Tehran 2 District. The results of the research have shown that the sale of surplus congestion by municipalities has disrupted the population density scheme approved by the Urban Organization and urban design. In addition, there was a shortage of service use, increasing congestion and becoming a bed of land and housing. The consequences of this policy in various economic, social and cultural aspects have led to an increase in the price of land and housing, an increase in the costs of the production sector and urban services, the weakening of urban laws and regulations, and the loss of urban identity.

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.

        Due to the deep changes in Contemporary societies and the transition from the traditional to the modern and postmodern societies, the old and pre-constructed identity has become a constructed thing that is constantly being restored; it has been influenced by a complex network of causal relationships in various physical, functional, social, semantic, and natural aspects. This is important in the place identity, especially in historical areas, due to drastic economic and physical changes, as these areas are in fact the most important identity element of cities. Thus, the historical district of Tehran is examined due to the double importance of the components of political economy that marginalize identity factors. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to determine the causal relationship and prioritize the components of spatial identity. In order to achieve this goal, first, 19 questionnaires were given to experts using purposeful and consecutive sampling method based on the logic of DAMATEL model in the form of a 32 * 32 matrix, the relationships between variables are determined and then The importance of each is determined by using the combined model of the DEMATEL and the Analytical Network process. The results show that the "social" criterion is the most important criterion, followed by the "semantic" and "physical" criteria. the indicators of "the degree of adaptation of space to climate", "the level of memorization of space", "the degree of visual appeal”, “the rate of occurrence of specific and unique events in space" are the most important indicators in the network.

        Urban integrated management is one of the most important and fundamental issues to consider and address in the area of metropolitan management. Despite the fact that more than 100 years of Tehran's urban modern-city management system, but due to the overwhelming focus of the government in the management of cities, municipalities and councils, they still do not have the necessary independence for their decision making and urban policy. Therefore, attention and explanation of this issue is one of the most important issues which is necessary considering the development of physical, spatial and demographic development, as well as the complexity and complexity of the problems and challenges of Tehran. This paper is aimed at strategic planning of integrated urban management in Tehran metropolitan area based on the strategic planning model of Meta-SWOT. The present study is descriptive-analytic, and in terms of target targeting. The data collection method has been a library and survey. The results of this study indicated that among the resources and internal capabilities of the modification of urban management laws, the integration of all actors in the field of urban management and general management in the city had the highest score. Also, the results of external environmental factors that indicate that the unidentified components of the integrated attitude in urban management, the lack of separation of political leadership from specialized management and the lack or weakness of the mechanisms for strengthening organizational communication indicates the impact of environmental factors. According to studies, the northern regions have the least and the southern regions of Tehran metropolis have the highest level of inconsistency. Therefore, in proportion to the growth of urbanization in Tehran, there is a lack of formation of integrated urban management. As a result, there is no reasonable coordination between the construction of spaces and the body of the city and the natural and physical environment with the social, economic and cultural situation.

        Increasing trend of urbanization particularly in developing countries has led to urban sprawl. Urban sprawl in Tehran has led to several challenges in achieving sustainable development. A spatial analysis on urban sprawl in traffic area zones (TAZ) of Tehran has been investigated for the past two decades (2001-2020) using the Weighted Urban Proliferation (WUP) method. Then, the minimum access distance between each pair of TAZ-hospital has been calculated using Network Analysis and the relation between sprawl determinants and accessibility has been investigated. Finally, the Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients have been calculated. Results show that the sprawl level has decreased significantly in Tehran over the past two decades. Consequently, because of the direct relationship between dispersion and access distance, the maximum distance to the nearest hospitals has been reduced about 3 kilometers. However, the calculated Gini coefficients show a 10% growth over the study period; in a way that, in 2001, 90% of hospital opportunities were distributed among 29% of population, while in 2020 the same share of opportunities are distributed among only 7% of population. Results indicate that urban sprawl reduction can only increase accessibility standards and promoting equity of accessibility requires proper attention and management of socio-economic variables along with urban sprawl.

        Introduction: Urban public services take a structure to the physical, social and spatial nature of the city, and therefore their unbalanced distribution pattern will have an irreparable impact on the structure of urban neighborhoods. Research aim: In this research, the availability and spatial distribution patterns of public services have been analyzed in the neighborhoods of district 15 of Tehran Municipality.Methodology: The research method is descriptive-analytical, which was carried out by using documentary and observational data and using Geographican Information Ststem and Vicor model for the analysis.Studied Area: The area of this research is District 15 of Tehran Municipality. It has an area of 27.8 km2 and a population of about 66000 people.Results: The studied neighborhoods can be classified into four categories according to the number and weight of services. In the top category, there are 3 neighborhoods of Abzar, Moshiriyeh and Masoudiyeh, which have been developed in recent decades. In the lowest category, there are 3 neighborhoods of Mesgarabad, Shoosh and Manzarieh. The first is a marginal neighborhood, and the other two neighborhoods are part of Tehran's old fabric. 4 neighborhoods are in the intermediate category, close to the top category, and 9 neighborhoods are in the intermediate category, close to the lower category. The pattern of service distribution is clustered, except for religious service which shows a random patthern. Conclusion: In large cities, including in Tehran, in the neighborhoods of the central part of the cities, where the buildings and space has been formed in accordance with the needs of the time when the neighborhood was created, compared to the new neighborhoods, using land for public service, except for trade, shows more weaknesses. Also, since the establishment of services has been more focused on places where it is possible to access land, the spatial distribution of services in the neighbourhoods does not show a balanced pattern, except in the case of religious use, all of them have a cluster form.

        Pollution of the air is amongst the most vital and complex issues in industrial civilization which has a menacing influence on the environment. Furthermore, climatic over-measurement has increased the spread of these pollutants in the atmosphere, which will consequently augment their influence on human beings and their natural ecological systems. The aim of the present study is analyzing the relationship between climatic elements and air pollution with the deaths caused by heart diseases in Tehran from 2006 to 2010. In this regard, the relationship between climatic variables and pollutant variables with death caused by heart diseases was scrutinized using mixed methods of Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression .The findings demonstrate that there exists a negative correlation between climatic elements of the temperature with a correlation coefficient of. /47. The pressure with a coefficient correlation of ./42 has a direct influence on the rate of the deaths from heart diseases with the meaningful significance of ./99. All the elements show a significantly meaningful correlation with the deaths from heart conditions ; notwithstanding, the most meaningful correlation was observed in carbon monoxide which was. /41 with a meaningful significance of. /99. When all the chemical elements in the air are present en masse, a unit of change in temperature based upon the Celsius degree will have a decrease of 17/12 in death caused by heart conditions. A unit of one percent change in humidity leads to a decrease of 7/9 percent in deaths. The change of one unit of PPM in carbon monoxide causes an increase of 26/2 and one unit of change in suspended particles based upon micro gram or cubic meter causes an increase of 1/4  in the rate of the deaths caused by heart diseases in the city of Tehran.

        Social, environmental, and economic assessments are three requirements necessary for attaining sustainable development; and the evaluation of the social impact has a 40-year history in the world. Since the year 1386 (2007), following the ratified bills of Islamic Council, the necessity of applying this approach to urban development projects was put on the agenda of Tehran Municipality and relatively wide measures in this regard were taken among which is the training and licensing for 500 experts to socially evaluate the development projects in Tehran. And a brief look at the matter shows a small presence or general ignorance of Iranian geography society regarding this created practical and scientific capacity. All of this is in the circumstances where the nature of urban projects has spatial dimensions, and in principle, these assessment without analysis of the space will not be very effective. Geographers (especially human geography - the major of urban planning) with understanding the analytic levels of urban problems and structural recognition of the phenomenon of city and urbanization and urban development process, can play the greatest role in this field.  The purpose of this article is providing a methodological framework of evaluating social impact as the preparatory groundwork for familiarizing the geography graduates in order to enter this arena. To achieve this goal, evaluating social impact of organizing the cemeteries in Tehran's urban area, especially the blocks of martyrs in Behesht-e Zahra, are selected, and the results can be used for other studies.  Manuscript profile

        Objective: The present study performed in a descriptive method investigates the status of providing services in dissertations and thesis section of libraries affiliated to Ministry of Health and Medical Education in Tehran; Methodology: The population of the research consisted of 36 libraries including: 11 libraries affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 10 libraries affiliated Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, 10 libraries affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences and 5 libraries affiliated to Islamic Azad University, Medical Sciences branch. The aim of this study is to find the answer to 7 major questions regarding the study of the status of services provided in dissertations and theses section of the above-mentioned libraries, including the space and allocated location (to keep the dissertations), organization (indexing,…), professional staff, computer and software facilities for the retrieval of information, current facilities to make dissertations and theses accessible (databases and published indexes). The instrument for data collection in this research is questionnaire (consisted of 24 open-ended and multiple-choice questions) completed by the heads or the staff of dissertations and theses sections. In order to analyze the data, statistical software, SPSS, has been used. Findings: The study results show that regarding the space and the location, 50 percent of the mentioned libraries have allocated a separate section for the dissertation and theses and the other 50, percent lacked such a separate place. 9 libraries (32, 2 percent) kept other faculty's dissertations and theses, but not 67, 8 percent. Among174 staff working in the studied libraries’ dissertations and theses section, 100 persons (57/4 percent) are non-librarian, a major shortcoming for this section, which leads to organizing the dissertations and theses inappropriately and not being able to provide proper services to the clients of this section. Also, considering the manner of organizing and indexing, 82 percent of the studied libraries have performed these processes and 17/8 percent has not done that yet. About the computer facilities, this study indicates that in most of Tehran, Shahid Beheshti and Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences faculties, computer facilities are available and only most of Iran University of Medical Sciences faculties lack these ones. 22 libraries (78/5 percent) have any software facilities in their dissertations and theses section and 21/4 percent of these sections lack any software facilities. So, based on these findings it can be claimed that most of the studied faculty libraries are relatively in an acceptable status. 75 percent of these libraries conveyed that their dissertations and theses available to all Students form state, Azad, Payam-e-Noor and… Universities. In 17.8 percent of them, the dissertations and theses are only available to the students and faculty members of their affiliated universities. And 7/14 libraries have mentioned they only give dissertation services to the students of state universities.     Manuscript profile

        Today, due to rapid social and cultural changes in societies, the issue of security is one of the main concerns of families.Schools are considered as the primary and influential center in children's social interactions, so these places should be safe enough for students to exchange information and participate in peace with each other. The characteristics and qualities of the elements that make up learning environments are effective in shaping different behaviors. Spaces that have suitable conditions for physical, mental and social development of individuals have a favorable architecture in terms of structure.In recent years, sustainable architectural models have sought to improve the quality of life by creating environmental and psychological security.In recent years, sustainable architectural models with the creation of environmental and psychological security seeks to improve the quality of life.According to sustainable architecture models in order to create a sense of security from the students' point of view. Accordingly, all first secondary schools in District 22 of Tehran, which included 27 schools, were evaluated in 1398.Research method is a survey-analysis that is used to collect information from field studies, questionnaires and software. In the field section,350 questionnaires based on Likert scale were distributed in schools and in the analytical section, data were analyzed using SPSS software and statistical method (t) in the form of written tables.The results show that the physical design status of the architecture, indoor air quality, optimization of consumption of various basic environmental resources are below average and the variables of building location,green space are moderate.Safety is one of the most important building blocks in any space, which plays an important role in attracting people and understanding the space by them. The need for safety is one of the most basic human needs, and until this need is not met, he cannot have a good impression of the space he is in. In today's societies, the important point is to maintain order and safety in order to create a suitable environment for the life of teenagers. Therefore, schools, as educational and cultural centers, need conscious design in order to attract students' attention to the space. Safety is one of the most important bases of today's societies.Sustainable architecture based on its primary building principles as a type of design in creating spaces with the aim of creating space based on environmentally friendly principles psychologically can be effective in communicating with the space user and creating positive imagery and ultimately strengthening the sense of safety. be Environmental issues are an important fact all over the world, which has received serious attention and is on the agenda of the world in contemporary society; Because this fact has effectively improved the quality of life of the human race, although there is a need for proper environmental education, so it can be said that the design of architectural spaces and the creation of schools with regard to sustainability components not only lead to the education of environmentalists. It is lived, but it also affects the creation of behavioral stability and peace in people's thoughts and safety in their relationship. Manuscript profile

        Up to now most species of Iranian frogs has been identified morphologically and all populations (albeit their vast distribution) are assigned to Rana (Pelophylax) ridibunda. The main objective of this research was to study frog populations of the South eastern Tehran using mitochondrial 12srRNA sequencing. For this purpose, n=19 water frogs were sampled in four stations (i.e. Pakdasht, Varamin, Gharchak, Pishva). The samples specimens were preserved at 96% ethanol solution and transferred to the laboratory for further analysis. DNA was extracted from leg tissue using CTAB method and the 12srRNA gene was ampilified and sequenced using primers developed by Kocher et al. (1989). The phylogenic tree was drawn using Joining Neighbor and Maximum Likelihood methods in Mega6 software the results indicate that indicated two clads with 100% affinity. The first clade assigned to P. bedriagae populations and the next clade included our samples. In conclusion, the frog populations of Tehran province may be assigned to P. bedriagae or a subspecies. Further research is needed to reveal this. Manuscript profile

        The identification of Anura amphibians species in the southeastern cities of Tehran province was examined through histological studies. 4 main stations (i.e. Pakdasht, Varamin, Qarchak, Pishva) were selected in the southeast of Tehran province. Then, 24 samples specimens were preserved at 10% formalin solution and transferred to the laboratory for histological studies. Studies have shown that in one group of samples (Green Toad, Pseudepidalea (Bufo) viridis) there were toxin-producing glands. In this group, the 3-layer epithelium and below it the chromatophores were quite visible. Beneath them were large glands that produce toxins, followed by connective tissue and then striped muscles. In a group of amphibians (Marsh frog, Pelophylax (Rana) ridibunda) collected, a 4-layer epithelium was observed that divided itself into two subgroups: some with mucosal secretory glands and some without mucosal glands, but in the latter two groups, chromatophores, connective tissue, striped muscles and cartilage were seen. Another group of amphibians found that the epithelium was three-layered but had no venom-producing glands or no mucosal glands, but two features were seen in histological observations, such as some with cartilage and some without cartilage. The results of histological studies showed that in addition to morphological, morphological and genetic studies, histological studies can be used to identify of Anura. These differences indicate the possibility of polymorphism in the Marsh frog species. Manuscript profile

        AbstractPharmaceutical industry has a main share in capital market and a considerable role in stock market transactions through the collection of community micro-savings. Hence, the cruicial aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of nominal exchange rate volatility and entry of real shareholders on the return on assets (ROA) in the 32 pharmaceutical materials and products of Tehran stock exchange as a import oriented companies during the period of 2011-2019. For achieving this, by using of Panel GARCH method, the exchange rate volatility has been estimated and then, the impacts of this variabble with other explanatory variabbles such as entry of real shareholders, profit margin, capital and interest rate to the operational profit, have been examined on return on assets in these companies. The empirical results of model estimation by GMM estimator revealed that the exchange rate volatility has negative and entry of real shareholders has positive and significant effect on the return on assets. Moreover, the auxiliary variables like profit margin, capital and interest rate have positive, positive and negative effects on the return on assets. By results of this study, we can suggest that the financial policy makers with decreasing of exchange rate volatility through control of domestic prices and capital market stabilization policies, motivate real shareholders to enter the capital market and increase the production and profitability of pharmaceutical companies.

        This research paper aims to determine credit ratings of Tehran stock exchange companies listed between 1388 and 1392 using a scoring system named EMS approach. The EMS approach is an enhanced version of Altman Z-Score model (Altman, 1968). Unlike the original Z-Score model, the EMS approach can be applied to manufacturing, non manufacturing, privately held and publicly owned firms in developed or emerging markets. This approach incorporates particular credit characteristics of emerging markets’ companies, and is a suitable tool for determining their credit ratings. The EMS approach combines fundamental credit analysis and rigorous benchmarks to reach a modified rating, which can then be compared to agency ratings and market levels. According to surveys and with regard to financial information of companies subject to article 141 of Iran’s commerce law, we found that during research time period, the EMS approach could classify failed companies (subject to article 141) with more than 96 percent accuracy. Results indicated that some of sample companies listed on Tehran stock exchange were financially distressed or in grey zone, and this could be considered by investors and lenders.   Manuscript profile

        The present study aims to review the effect of life cycle on tax avoidance of firms. Based on the available theoretical bases, firms have unique and various planning during different stages of their life cycles, among which the rate of tax avoidance is not an exception. The present study is an applied research and it uses post-event method. The variables of study are examined using information of financial statements. Period of study includes 2006 to 2015 and the selected sample consists of 95 firms that are accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. To review the hypotheses of the study, ordinary least square regression in Eviews software version 9 and ANOVA in SPSS software version 22 are used. The findings show that there is a significant relation between life cycle and tax avoidance of firms. In addition, there is a significant statistical difference at the level of 99 percent between various levels of life cycles of firms. This subject is more in the growth and decline levels and less in puberty level. The main result of the study can be considered as a confirmation of the theory of Zohurhassan et al (2016). According to their view, tax avoidance has a U-shaped pattern in the levels of life cycle of the firm that is more significant in growth and decline levels and less common in puberty level. The findings of the present study, also, confirm this theory.   Manuscript profile

        Heavy snowfall and its aftermath is an example of atmospheric phenomenon which can cause serious harm to many parts of the natural and human environment. In order to identify the effective synoptic characteristics and patterns at the events of heavy snow in Tehran in the present study, the snowfall data are collected from the Mehrabad airport weather station archives over the years 2000-2009. From the total number of 150 snowy days that had been recorded, synoptic maps have been created for 19 February, 2003, using data from the GFS, with an accuracy level of 1.0o×1.0o, by GrADS software. Temperature advection maps have also been created using CFSR data. Studying the synoptic maps at different atmospheric levels revealed that during the period of heavy snowfall in February, 2003, the formation of low-pressure over the Mediterranean Sea and on the other hand the formation of high-pressure and its ridge over Caspian Sea are visible and the transition of the two systems causes intensive pressure gradient over the area under the study. Simultaneously at the level above, a low and trough forms that the transition of this trough to the aforementioned area leads to the creation of snowfall. Analyzing the amounts of absolute vorticity and the vertical motion reveals advection of absolute vorticity and the negativity of the vertical motion () which imply the instability and ascending air mass that will eventually result in the occurrence of heavy snowfall. Studying the amounts of temperature advection at 200 hPa also represents warm advection. Manuscript profile

        Benthic macroinvertebrate communities are one of the key biological components considered for the assessment of benthic integrity in the context of the Water Framework Directive. The effect of industrial and agricultural wastewater effluent on water quality, habitat quality, and benthic macroinvertebrates of an urban stream in Namrood River located in Firoozkooh (Tehran province, Iran) was investigated in this study. The Namrood River is situated by the main road and is being polluted by pollutants from tourism industry and recreational centers, gas stations, sewage from villages, agricultural wastewater and fish culture effluent.  In the present study, three stations were selected, one station as blank and two stations, up and downstream were selected to sample the sediments and Chironomidae and Gammarus pluex in both cold and warm seasons of the year. The copper and zinc levels were measured in sediment and benthos. The results showed that copper and zinc concentration range in benthos were 0.170-0.966 and 0.187-3.846 ppm, respectively.  Sediments of the upstream station had the highest copper concentration among the samples in both cold and warm seasons of the year and the highest concentration of Zn was observed in sediments of upstream station in cold season.Comparing the average concentration of studied elements with WHO permissible limits showed concentrations lower than standard for Copper and Zinc element in sediment and benthos.‌ Manuscript profile

        Abstract Investigating the effect of oil price uncertainty on the Tehran Stock Exchange index is of great importance because with increasing uncertainty in oil prices, the systematic risk of the stock market index increases. On the other hand, in oil exporting countries such as Iran, oil revenues are among the most important and influential factors in macroeconomic variables and, consequently, financial market indicators. The present study investigates the effect of oil price uncertainty on the Tehran Stock Exchange index using the wavelet-based quantile regression model (MODWT-MRA) during the period April 2011 to April 2021 in Iran.. The results of the model estimate showed that with the increase in oil price uncertainty, the Tehran Stock Exchange index will decrease. According to the results, the effect of oil price uncertainty on the Tehran Stock Exchange index in the first few quantiles has a smaller coefficient than the final quantiles, so the negative effect of oil price uncertainty on the Tehran Stock Exchange index in recent months is more than the first months. Also, the coefficient value on the component 5 scale is much higher than the component 1 scale; Therefore, the negative effect of oil price uncertainty on the Tehran Stock Exchange index in the short run is much greater than the value of this effect in the long run. This is because in the long run, the investor will adjust to the uncertainty. Manuscript profile

        AbstractIn the stock market, information plays an important role, if there is information asymmetry in market, maybe over time, the market moves toward incomplete competition models. The Tehran Stock Exchange, as the largest and most integrated part of the Iran capital market, does not have much history and as a result, several factors affect the activities of this market. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the factors affecting the performance of these firms. For this purpose, the 40 active firms in the Tehran Stock Exchange whose data are available are considered. The required data of the study were collected from the Tehran Stock Exchange site, the Rahavard Novin software and balance sheets of these firms during the period of 2008-2018 and models are estimated using with STATA 14. The performance variable in this study has three proxies including ROA, ROE and EBT indexes. The data analysis was done with GMM Dynamic Panel. Two main variables of market structure and asymmetric information are examined. The results show that the former have a direct relationship and the later have an inverse relationship with firm performance. The results also indicate that the information asymmetry trend is increasing and monopolistic competition is the best description of the degree of competition among the active firms of the Tehran Stock Exchange.   Manuscript profile

The theoretical framework of this study inspired the theories of pure relationship and fluid love to explain the problem. The research method in this study was survey and data collection tool was questionnaire. 384 users of the Telegram virtual network were selected randomly, and the questionnaire has been provided online. The results showed that the use of virtual space has no role in the emotional relationships of couples. However, there is a positive relationship between the dimensions of the agreement and the extent of the agreed relationship. The diversity in the topics pursued in virtual social networks enhances the emotional relationships of couples and plays a negative role on the dimensions of intimacy, agreement and adherence to a positive role on the dimensions of interest and affection, but this effect is at a weak level. The results of using a variety of virtual social networks and the topics pursued in these groups can lead to a form of awareness in individuals that enhances the couple's emotional relationships.

        Role of information in economy started from questioning one of the assumptions of perfect competition theory in market. In stock market, information plays an important role in determining the level of competitiveness. In this study tried to measure the competitiveness of firms in Tehran Stock Exchange by using income equations in the presence of asymmetric information. In this regard, first, using the income equations and a GLS- Panel has been paid the effect of various variables. The results indicate that equations without the effect of scale offer better specification of the firms’ conditions. Although asymmetric information is high in stock market and stock gains influenced by the degree of asymmetric information, but extent of this influence is limited. The “H competitiveness index” shows that monopolistic competition is best description of market conditions in equations of incomes from changes in stock prices, but in equations of incomes from stocks dividends and accumulated, the performance of studied firms be explained with monopolistic behavior.

        This paper is to develop a pattern to forecast adjusted returns according to the downside risk for the Tehran Stock Exchange. For this pursues, first, it seeks to find the factors affecting the adjusted return of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, taking into account the role of downside risk in the context of information asymmetry. In the second stage, it provides a pattern of forecasting adjusted returns based on downside risk. In fact, the main problem is that several internal and external effective variables affect the adjusted return according to the downside risk, and each of these variables may have positive or negative (ambiguous) effects on the adjusted return according to the downside risk. This study is to investigate the ambiguity about the role of variables affecting adjusted returns. The results of the regression model test show that the variables of capital structure, net profit, return on assets, board of directors, and duality of duties of managing director and chairman of the board at 99% confidence level and variables of dividend ratio and operating cash flow at 95% confidence level have significant effects on the adjusted return.

        With the growth of private banks , financial and credit institutions, competition for better services has increased. Given the importance of the issue, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive model for evaluating banks. Every organization needs to evaluate its performance to understand its strengths and weaknesses, especially in dynamic environments. The issue of performance appraisal is so widespread that even management experts say: "What cannot be evaluated cannot be managed".Banks, like other organizations in Iran, need performance evaluation to provide more diverse and faster services as well as their development. [6]This study aimed to present a model to evaluate the performance of banks listed in Tehran Stock Exchange using data mining approach. In this research, four data mining models of decision tree C5.0, decision tree C4.5, Naive Bayes classifier, and random forest were implemented and compared to evaluat the performance of banks. To this end, 28 financial ratios (e.g., profitability ratios, liquidity, quality management, asset quality, and capital adequacy) in 18 banks of Tehran Stock Exchange during 2014-2017 were selected as independent variables. In addition, the performance of banks in three categories of acceptable, unacceptable, and moderate was selected as the dependent variable of the study. According to the results, the decision tree C5.0 with the accuracy of 94.4% was the most efficient model proposed in this research. Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of this study is to analyze the cost behavior of the companies accepted based on chaos theory. The purpose of the study is of an applied type. . In this study, 69 companies with 416 observations . Corporate financial data was generated by innovative management software and leadership software. Various tests were used for data analysis such as BDS correlation tests for nonlinearity of time series, Dickey Fuller for correlation, Lyapunov power for turbulent cost behavior. Dickey Fuller test results showed that all of Mana's costs behaviors were the same. The results of BDS test showed that the studied cost behavior is nonlinear and chaotic non-random. As a result, the time series studied are generally chaotic. The results of the Lyapunov test view showed that all the Lyapunov coefficients were calculated for positive cost variables. Therefore, it can be said that the research variables have a butterfly effect. That is, the company's cost behavior is unstable (divergence). According to the Lyapunov power test, non-operational costs are less sensitive and more stable and have high predictability; and investment costs are more sensitive and less stable and less predictable.

        The significant role of the media in providing information in the modern world has led to the improvement of the notification position in investment decisions and people always try to make the most appropriate decision by using information and news. Investors always purposefully use media products to raise awareness and make more profit. This kind of view is not only related to financial market investors but also media activists who always try to gain more market shares during competition by looking at the news as a product. Considering the focus of media function on the two main elements of awareness and information, this study seeks to survey the views of financial and media market participants on the role of news marketing in financial markets and its impact on market development in cognition and specify the connection between two mentioned views and draw a new roadmap for media activists. The research is established on Q-method and the required information has been extracted and processed through a questionnaire. Based on the results, financial market and media activists have a free macro-managerial tendency as well as believing in the requirement to use news marketing for developing financial markets. Also, they emphasize factors such as independence in general, independence from government, and the authority to freely disseminate information in financial markets. Manuscript profile

        Study of the comovement between financial markets plays a crucial role in increasing the performance of trading strategies. Due to the strong dependence of Iran economy on oil prices and the fluctuation of the dollar exchange rate in the open market, it is very important to study these macroeconomic level factors on stock market performance for portfolio management. In this research, using time-frequency domain analysis, while discovering the interdependence between financial markets, capital turnover trends in Tehran stock exchange are analyzed and the effect of exchange rate fluctuations and the price of the OPEC oil basket on the indices including TEPIX, industry, banking, automobile, and oil products are studied. The results show that the longer the investment horizon, the stronger this effect is, and the increase in the exchange rate causes the index to increase in order for the market to prosper more, while there is a weak interdependence between TEPIX and oil price. During the investment horizon of 4 to 9 months, any increase in USD encourages shareholders to trade more, while in similar conditions, the increase in oil prices, except in the banking and the petroleum sectors, cause money to flow out of the market in other sectors.

        The Behavioral finance literature states that human beings in practice behave differently from what modern financial theories portray as rational human beings, so the assumption of rationality of investors and the belief in the efficiency of stock markets has been criticized. Accordingly, the present study examines the impact of investor behavioral biases on how to make decisions and market efficiency simultaneously, which has not been addressed so far. It also highlights the importance of understanding the process and the role of behavioral factors in investor decisions and market efficiency for future capital market policymakers and regulators. The present study is applied in terms of type of use and descriptive-correlational research. The target population of this study was real investors in Tehran Stock Exchange and Available purposive sampling method was used. Structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data and test the conceptual model of the research. The research findings show that biases of overconfidence, representation, availability and anchoring and adjustment have a significant effect on market efficiency. Findings also showed that overconfidence bias, anchoring and adjustment have a significant effect on investment decisions. Behavioral biases among investors are inevitable that these biases can affect investors' decisions and market efficiency. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this paper is to optimize the portfolio consisting of stocks using DEEPQ's reinforcement learning strategy based on the state-action matrix. For this purpose, in order to optimize and make profitable the portfolio consisting of stocks, the performance of the reinforcement learning strategy based on the DEEP Q algorithm and the passive strategy of Buying and Holding in two states of Bullish and Bearish markets during the time period of 2017-2021 were investigated. The statistical population was 672 companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange, of which 7 companies (statistical sample) were considered suitable. The comparison of two strategies shows that the Reinforcement Learning strategy, in the Bullish and Bearish markets, compared to the trading method of buying and holding, which has led to losses, has a high potential for profitability in the Iranian stock market. Based on the results, it is suggested that brokers and stock exchange companies and analysts use the Reinforcement Learning strategy for profitability and stock portfolio optimization. Also, the comparison of the results of these two approaches makes it clear that the application of Reinforcement Learning is more suitable for investors who do not have the high risk-taking ability of the Buy-and-Hold approach.

        AbstractThe purpose of this study is to design a financial stress index to predict the occurrence of a financial crisis. In this study, a composite index has been designed to measure the Iranian financial system and the effects of financial turmoil in conditions of uncertainty in the financial markets and the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2009 and 2021. Since the shocks of variables were used in previous studies, in this study, three factors of currency turbulence, stock market index turmoil, and banking industry turbulence have been used to design and construct the financial stress index. This research is conducted in five steps based on the DCC-GHARCH approach and finally, based on the variables of financial institutions and the stock index, a predictive model for the financial stress index is presented. From the results, we find that all independent variables of the research have a positive and significant effect on the financial stress index, except for the coin price volatility index, which has a negative and significant effect. The value of the model determination coefficient is 0.8736, which indicates that the quality of the fitted model is desirable. Manuscript profile

        Options are one of the most important derivatives that are trading in most major stock exchanges in today’s world. One of the basic issues in the field of these bonds is valuation and the Binomial model one of the common methods, but it has a number of problems such as the absence of transaction costs and Knightian uncertainty, which have been solved in this research. The purpose in this research is to compare the binomial model under Knightian uncertainty and transaction cost with the Black-Scholes-Merton model. By using these two models, in this research priced options were published since 1397 until the end of 1401. After estimating the theoretical prices of each of the models, it is compared with the market prices, and the amount of prediction error of each of them is calculated using the root mean square error (RMSE). The obtained results show that the Black-Scholes-Merton model has less error than the binomial tree model under Knightian uncertainty and transaction cost. By removing the transaction cost from research model, the error of this model is reduced, and in the symbol-day data that are in the money, this model has a lower error than the Black-Scholes-Merton model.

        Investment portfolio theory is an important foundation for portfolio management, which is a well-studied but not saturated topic in the academic community. Integrating return forecasting in investment portfolio formation can improve the performance of portfolio optimization model. Since machine learning models have shown a superiority over statistical models, in this research, a approach of forming the stock portfolio in two stages is presented. first step, by implementing neural network, suitable stocks are selected for purchase, in the second step, using the (MV) model, the optimal weight in investment portfolio is determined for them. In particular, the stages of selecting suitable stocks and forming a stock portfolio are the two main stages of the model developed in this research. first step, a convolutional neural network model is proposed to predict stock buy and sell points for the next period.second step, stocks that are labeled as buys are selected as stocks suitable for buying, and MV model is used to determine their optimal weight in the stock portfolio. The results obtained using 5 shares of Tehran stock market as a study sample show that the efficiency and Sharpe ratio of proposed method is significantly better than traditional methods (without filtering suitable stocks) Manuscript profile

        The traditional data envelopment analysis model allows the decision maker unit (DMU) to use the most favorable weights to evaluate the efficiency. This type of evaluation with the most flexibility can prevent the full ranking of DMUs and the evaluation results for DMUs are unacceptable. To solve this problem in data envelopment analysis, a common weight approach based on the concept of the degree of satisfaction of a DMU has been introduced. Also, to solve a common weight model, which is a nonlinear model, an algorithm is presented that can be modeled step by step. In this paper, we will evaluate the performance of companies active in Tehran Stock Exchange using a common weight model for 24 companies active in Tehran Stock Exchange. The weighted average performance of Tehran Stock Exchange companies for the years 1394 and 1395. The results show that this method will rank companies without any interference during these two years.

        This paper analyzes the role of corporate governance indicators in default risk focusing on data from a 60-‌member sample of firms listed on Tehran stock exchange during 1389 to 1393. In this paper, default risk was calculated by a measure based on the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option pricing model, where a firm’s default risk is derived from the market prices of its shares. This method overcomes some of the problems associated with the default risk measures used in prior studies. Moreover, corporate governance indicators were divided into four categories: (1) shareholders’ and stakeholders’ rights, (2) board of directors and its committees, (3) auditing, and (4) transparency and public disclosure. Based on each of these categories, a representative index, and by aggregating four representative indexes, a composite corporate governance index was built. Then, the relationship between these indexes and default risk was examined. Results suggest that only governance indicators relating to transparency and public disclosure, at 5% level, are significantly correlated with default risk. However, combining these indicators with other governance indicators (that is, indicators related to shareholders’ and stakeholders’ rights, board of directors and its committees, and auditing), did not have any significant influence on default risk of Tehran stock exchange listed firms.

        Megacities are highly responsible for the emissions of environmental pollution, energy overconsumption, and the threat of non-renewable natural resources. Therefore, it is vital to develop the ecological design indicators with an energy approach, especially for the historical urban fabrics, which in addition to environmental issues, have witnessed the migration of indigenous people as a result of physical and cultural degradation. Therefore, this article seeks ways to implement urban design with a renewable energy approach in urban historic contexts, which can be noticeable at the level of the world’s heritage. The research aims to encourage young and active people to live in the neighborhood with a green and sustainable lifestyle respecting energy sources, reducing pollution, and improving local identities at a global level. It thus studies the plausible futures with a series of techniques including Delphi, design solutions, and visioning with a case study method. The case of research is Downtown Tehran focusing on Sangelaj Neighborhood, somewhere between Tahmasebi’s and Naseri’s fortifications. After going through the three stages of design solutions, including context appraisal, vision, and action plans, a Delphi technique evaluates solutions in three consecutive rounds. Panelists including professional urban and architectural designers, as well as experts in urban energy, restoration, environment, traffic, and geology reached a consensus. Findings show that participatory visioning techniques, which mean engaging urban actors such as people and organizations, will improve the implementation of an urban eco-park, with energy, ecological and historical approaches. It thus provides a circular economy and circular neighborhood. The article then proposes strategies such as the complete street, and the use of renewable energies including recycling wastewater, using solar energies, and wind power. These suggestions will highlight the rich historical and natural background of the neighborhood such as Iranian gardens and aqueducts. Manuscript profile

        The temporary settlement of the affected population is a process that requires the identification of suitable spaces for the settlement of the population, planning, management and providing appropriate solutions before and during a possible earthquake. Region 3 of Tehran municipality is a prone area for earthquakes and the presence of faults affecting the vulnerability of Tehran city, including Masha faults, North Tehran fault, and Ray fault, as well as the influence of faults in and around the region, including Mahmoodieh fault, Davodieh fault, Telo Bayan fault, and Xian and Kausar increase the risk of earthquakes in this region. This issue has shown the necessity of crisis management and the discussion of locating optimal spaces for temporary accommodation, especially green and open spaces after an earthquake to provide assistance and accommodation to citizens. Therefore, the issue of locating, determining urban spaces with the ability of temporary accommodation and providing a suitable pattern of accommodation by considering the effective spatial parameters and factors is considered the most important goal of this research to manage the crisis after the possible earthquake of Tehran in region 3. This research is applied in terms of its purpose and its research method is descriptive-analytical. In this regard, previous studies have been examined using documentary and library studies, a conceptual framework and a review of experiences. This research was done by qualitative and quantitative data analysis and by identifying the criteria and principles of locating temporary settlements and weighting the criteria through a pairwise comparison matrix. Hierarchical AHP method has been used to locate existing open spaces. Manuscript profile

        Abstract The present study was conducted with the aim of comparative evaluation of the usability of Tehran Municipality's comprehensive financial software (Finance) using the usability scale and the effect of four factors (gender, age, professional work experience and occupation).This research is included in the group of descriptive, cross-sectional and survey researches. The necessary information was collected through questionnaires distributed among users working in Tehran Municipality in 2023. Questionnaire questions were classified into seven groups, each group representing each of the applicability criteria in the ISO 9241-10 standard. The data were analyzed by independent t-tests, analysis of variance and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The findings showed that four factors (gender, age, professional work experience and job) have a significant effect on users' understanding of the applicability of Tehran Municipality's comprehensive financial software according to the seven principles of ISO 9241-10 standard. In general, users' evaluations about the compliance of Tehran Municipality's comprehensive financial software with ISO 9241-10 standard are different. Therefore, more attention is needed in the field of software upgrade, especially the development of reporting capabilities and levels of accounts, management and training of the software for the needs of urban management and users.

        According to the association between increased micronuclei (MNi) level in reproductive age women and increased risk of congenital abnormalities, we aimed in this study to find the contribution of WTS to women's health in apparently healthy young cases by comparing the variability of MN values in water pipe smokers and non-smokers. Finding the associations between MNi levels and demographic, socioeconomic, reproductive, and lifestyle factors was the secondary scope of this study. This cross-sectional case-control study was performed on 30 premenopausal women (15 cases and 15 controls) who lived in Tehran, according to our inclusion criteria. The mean MN frequency among waterpipe smokers was 28.53± 7.462, whereas the same parameter in the control group was 6.53 + 3.24 (p= 0.001). Non-parametric tests revealed a significant association between MNi and frequency of waterpipe smoking (p = 0.001), age of starting waterpipe smoking (p = 0.003), concurrent use of alcoholic drinks (p= 0.004), and secondhand smoking (p =0.001). In the context of heavy environmental pollution in Tehran, significantly higher MNi frequencies and decreased genomic health in waterpipe smoker women in reproductive age may predispose them to an increased risk of harmful reproductive outcomes. These findings emerge from governmental and non-governmental biomonitoring programs in high-risk women to concern more on unhealthy lifestyles and environmental pollution. Manuscript profile

        Purpose: The main purpose of the present study is to investigate the tail risk in the Tehran Stock Exchange using dynamic methods and time series spectral analysis in the form of the dynamic multi-scale Expected Shortfall (DMS-ES).Methodology: In this study, the daily data of Tehran Stock Exchange total index in the period 2011/03/26 - 2022/03/19 were used then extracting the short-term, medium-term and long-term information components of the index return time series, four predictive models of expected fallout (ES) were estimated using Taylor (2017) approach at different time horizons.Findings: The results of estimating the models and back tests show that the expected shortfall (ES) is short-term in nature and the dynamic model using short-term components in the one-day time horizon has the highest efficiency among the introduced models. In addition, the results of comparing the models based on the average loss test show that the use of spectral analysis components increases the efficiency of dynamic predictions of the expected shortfall (ES) at different time horizons.Originality / Value: Finally, according to the results of this study, it is suggested to use dynamic models and signal decomposition analysis algorithms to increase the efficiency of risk criteria predictions.

        Purpose: This research has been written with the aim of modeling a new criterion for measuring risk in order to eliminate the shortcomings of traditional models in the field of investment risk management.Methodology: In the present study, with a practical purpose, to estimate the value at risk of daily bitcoin price data (2,707 views) in the years 2013 to 2020 and the data of the total stock exchange index (2,753 views) 2011 to 2020 has been used in two groups of education and test (500 views). In order to estimate the value at risk using the nonlinear method and the generalized variable self-fitting time (GAS) method, modeling was performed by learning from the data of the training group and the accuracy of the model was determined by the data of the experimental group.Findings: The results showed that for the total stock index, only two models, GAS and GARCH, are suitable risk estimators. On the other hand, for Bitcoin cryptocurrencies, only two models, GAS and GARCH, are suitable risk estimators, which GARCH model is more preferable.Originality / Value: Findings showed that the new GAS model is a preferential estimator for the total stock market index than other nonlinear models. This is due to the variable time feature as well as the dynamics of the GAS model, which is able to respond to market turbulence conditions unlike traditional models in the short run. These results also help investors and active financial institutions to manage risk in their trading systems. Manuscript profile

        Purpose: Since the Sudden changes in stock prices are unusual and usually negative which occurs in the absence of important economic events Therefore, it has always been considered. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of stock price crash risk on the future strength of the CEO.Methodology: 103 companies during the period 2015 to 2019 have been surveyed to test the research hypothesis.Findings: The results of reviewing the data collected during the period showed that the risk of crash in stock prices does not have a significant effect on the future strength of the CEO. As mentioned in the theoretical literature of stock prices’ crash, several factors can lead to this phenomenon, and management performance alone is not a sufficient condition to create conditions for crashing stock prices. For instance, according to the stock price bubble theory, stock price changes occur due to a shock without any proper and economic justification, and in fact cognitive errors that affect human psychology can affect investors' judgments in stock valuation and pricing. According to this, it seems that the crash in stock prices in the period under study was formed for reasons beyond the control of management and less managerial factors have been effective in crashing stock prices. Hence, the reduction of the CEO's power in this situation is unexpected.Originality / Value: The research finding provides new evidence in support of behavioral finance theory in stating that the CEO's future power is not affected by crashing stock prices.

        Purpose: The purpose of the current research is to create an optimal portfolio using machine learning algorithms and fuzzy theory, which has a better return than the average return of the market (total index of the stock exchange).Research Methodology:In this article, the stocks of the selected companies are classified in the first stage using the two introduced algorithms. In the next step, stocks that entered the positive class are predicted for the next trading day with the help of random forest algorithm. For each company, three predictions are made, which are the inputs of fuzzy method optimization. Optimization is done with the aim of minimizing the risk with risk measures of value at risk and value at conditional risk. Shares information is five years old (daily) and its time period is from the beginning of 2017 to the end of 2021.Findings: In the end, each of the algorithms and the risk measure used were measured and compared with the actual market return. Based on the obtained results, the CVAR risk measure has a better capability and result than the VAR risk measure, and the support vector machine algorithm has also achieved a better performance in choosing the investment portfolio.Originality/ value: This research is optimized in the form of a capital sample by integrating machine learning methods and risk measures. Adding VaR and CVaR risk metrics enhances the decision-making process regarding risk reduction. Forecasting with the help of random forest and using an approach based on fuzzy theory for risk and value analysis gives the research an innovative perspective in portfolio formation. The findings provide investors and researchers with valuable insights in their search for better investment strategies. Manuscript profile

        Objective: With the expansion of globalization, financial markets in both developed and developing countries have become interconnected. In financial discourse, the interconnection between financial markets is referred to as financial contagion. Financial contagion can transmit the volatility of one market to another, potentially leading to economic booms, recessions, or varying levels of risk and return. Consequently, given the significance of volatility contagion in markets for investors and decision-makers, the purpose of this study is to examine the effect of dynamic contagion in the volatility cycle between the futures market of gold and the foreign exchange rate in financial markets and the Tehran Stock Exchange.Research Methodology: The data were collected daily over the period from 2009 to 2018. To test the research hypotheses, GARCH-BEKK models, Markov Switching, and Vector Autoregression were employed.Findings: The results of the study indicate that the contagion effect of volatility is from the foreign exchange market to the gold futures market. Moreover, the contagion effect of volatility from the foreign exchange market to the gold futures market varies across different regimes.Originality / Value: The findings of this research could provide new insights that may guide policymaking and decision-making in the financial industry.

        This paper proposes a  Soft Computing model for effective bankruptcy prediction, based on the integration of Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) neural network and genetic algorithm which is called here as GA-GMDH. Genetic algorithm (GA) designs the whole architecture of the GMDH network and optimizes its topology. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed GA-GMDH model, its performance was compared with performance of the commonly used statistical techniques of logistic regression (LR) and a relatively new artificial intelligent technique of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). Performance of the designed prediction models depends on the utilized variable selection technique. Therefore, we constructed 12 prediction models through combining the four filtering feature selection methods and the three prediction models. The four feature selection methods of independent samples T-test, correlation matrix (CM), stepwise multiple discriminant analysis (SDA) and principal component analysis (PCA)are combined with prediction models to generate four optimal feature subsets. Empirical data were collected one year prior to failure from Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) during 1997-2008.  For robust assessing of prediction models’ performance, we applied Type-I and Type-II errors, and area under the receiver operative characteristics curve (AUC) measures. Experimental results indicate that our proposed GA-GMDH model has high ability in bankruptcy prediction problem and significantly outperforms ANFIS and LR models in all combinations with four feature selection methods. Meanwhile, the CM method has the best ability in selecting predictive variables in comparison with other feature selection methods. Therefore, CM-GA-GMDH model is determined as the best constructed model for bankruptcy prediction using our particular dataset from TSE.   Manuscript profile

        People's attitudes are a combination of beliefs, principles, values and perceptions that prepare a person to judge others, objects or things around him and find a positive or negative view of them. Therefore, attitude measurement is a valuable and effective tool to assess the current situation and the way people look around. The cultural attitude survey of students living in dormitories of the University of Tehran was conducted with the aim of examining students' interaction with cultural programs and how they spend their leisure time in dormitories with the presence of 158 graduate students in the Fall of 1400. The most important finding of this survey is the increasing dependence of students on cyberspace, which is the first and main priority of students to spend their leisure time, which results in more isolation, less sense of responsibility, selfishness and less sense of cooperation and empathy among people. The type of attitude and cultural concerns of dormitory students also have many similarities with the community. Among them, we can mention the moral problems in society, the decrease of people's respect for each other, the decrease of people's tolerance, the decrease of respect for the opinions of others.

        The student period and the experience gained during it can influence the thoughts, attitudes, values, orientations and behavior of a person in different ways. What shows the importance of student life is the influence of cultural programs and the interest of students to benefit as much as possible from the spaces and facilities available in the university. The purpose of writing this article is to quantitatively investigate the attitudes and cultural preferences of Tehran University students. For this purpose, a number of 382 questionnaires were provided to the students of Tehran University in the first semester of the academic year 2018-2019, so that by completing the questionnaire, students' attitudes regarding cultural programs and their priorities in this field can be quantitatively examined. The findings of the research indicate that considering the atmosphere of the university and the cultural programs implemented in it, more than half of the students have admitted that they do not want to attend the cultural programs of the university. Therefore, changing the attitude of university managers and officials towards the cultural interests of students, accepting the changing tastes of students in parallel with the cultural and social changes of society, accepting the diversity of the cultural needs of the student population, and giving special importance to responding to the needs of students with the aim of transferring value. Cultural events and increasing students' participation in planning and implementing cultural programs can be the basis for deepening cultural values and benefiting students from cultural programs.

        Nowadays, Iranian cities find their long-standing physical, socio-cultural cohesion in jeopardy due to the change of values, intellectual customs, lifestyles and human relationship with the universe and nature. In such circumstances, collective memories are forgotten and the soul of the city is completely changed. The aim of this paper is to study the change, continuity and constancy of the concept of city and memory in the historical center of Tehran. The research method is qualitative, adopting a phenomenological strategy. In this article, through a literature review about collective memory, change, continuity and constancy, a theoretical framework for phenomenological study has been developed and based on it, in-depth semi-structured interviews with architects, artists and historians living in the historical center of Tehran has been carried out. The results of this study include the classification of collective memories, the categorization of signs and causes of change in historical areas. Some factors such as the continuation of the local character of some neighborhoods, the presence of religious sites and the continuity of some architectural traditions can be considered as a secret of the continuity of the concept of the city over time and also the continuous presence of Alborz, Valiasr Street, historical buildings, city park, historical bazaars can guarantee the constancy of the city. One can define the optimal threshold of change, continuity and constancy in the historical center in terms of making the restoration overcome demolition, preserving the character of the historical center and local lifestyle during changes.

        Adolescence with the special risks of puberty and social crises is a fertile ground for the emergence or exacerbation of psychological problems; Since this period is a critical and crucial stage, the use of educational and therapeutic approaches to increase the level of awareness of this period is of particular importance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of positivity training and religious coping strategies on resilience in students in Tehran. For this purpose, among the statistical population of the study, which were all 11th grade female students in Tehran, using software from Gpower software and taking into account the risk of type 1 error at the level of 5%, test power 0.8, effect size 0.26, 21 people were selected for each group and randomly assigned to three experimental and control groups. The instrument used in the present study was Connor and Davidson (2003) Resilience Questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance using SPSS-23 software. The results showed that the two groups of positive thinking skills and religious coping in the pre-test stage were not significantly different from the control group and also from each other (p <0.05). In the post-test stage and also the follow-up, there is a significant difference between the control group and the group of positive thinking skills (p <0.001) and religious coping skills (p <0.001), which shows the effect of positive thinking skills and religious coping training on post-test resilience, respectively. It is equal to 70.6 and 58.8%. Also, the effect of two methods of positive thinking skills and religious coping in the follow-up stage was 7.2% and 63.7%, respectively. Also, the results have shown that the difference between the two groups of positivity and religious coping skills was significant in the post-test phase and this difference was estimated to be 11.1 percent (p=0.008). This means that the positivity strategy has increased the resilience of teenagers more compared to the religious coping strategy. Therefore, the above method can be used as an effective intervention method in increasing the productivity of female adolescents. Manuscript profile

        In August 2020, 10 feedlot cattle were presented with weakness of the hind limbs, ataxia and incoordination, paralysis, and eventually sternal recumbency, in a farm in the suburban area of Tehran. Hypothermia, ruminal hypomotility, constipation, tongue paralysis, hypersalivation, paralysis of the tail and anus sphincter, bradycardia and arrhythmia were recorded in clinical examination. Necropsy revealed severe impaction in the forestomaches, and endocardial hemorrhage. 0.5ml of gastrointestinal contents of affected cattle was administered to three mice, via intraperitoneal route. Signs of botulism was noticed following the injection; hence the diagnosis was confirmed. Microscopic examination revealed nonspecific histopathologic changes in different organs including heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and abomasum. Analysis of the ingested feed confirmed the presence of meat pieces mixed with bread waste, which provides an excellent environment for C. botulinum spores to germinate and produce toxins. Eventually, after 45 days of botulism outbreak, a total number of 98 affected cows were slaughtered and the carcasses were destroyed according to guidelines issued by Iran veterinary organization.

        Identifying the critical time and timing of plant irrigation based on a precise and basic plan is the key to water conservation, improvement of irrigation operations and plant tolerance to water shortage in agriculture. In recent years, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in many plants to deal with dehydration and drought stress. In this regard, an experiment was conducted as split-plot in the form of randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the Yasuj region at years 2015 and 2016. Water stress was considered as the main factor in the form of irrigation after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of evaporation from the evaporation pan class A and mycorrhizal fungus was considered as a secondary factor in the form of no application, application of Glomus mosseae and application of Glomus intraradices. The results showed that the interaction of irrigation and mycorrhizal fungi on flower phosphorus, flower yield, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage was significant. In irrigation levels after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan, the use of mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices compared to the absence of fungi respectively increased the yield of plant flowers (30.04% and 27.35 %), (90.2% and 90.98%), (93.21% and 94.1%) and (81.73% and 78.86%), also, at these levels of irrigation, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage flower achieved a significant increase in the presence of mycorrhizal fungus, compared to the absence of mycorrhizal fungus application. Application of both strains of mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices in irrigation levels after 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan compared to no application of mycorrhizal fungus, respectively, resulted in a significant increase in the harvest index of Borage flower (44.55% and 43.36%), (13.21% and 15.96%) and (5.6% and 5.41%) and flower phosphorus (44.69% and 20.45%), (150% and 125%) and ( 267.74% and 235.48%). Mycorrhizal fungus was able to moderate the negative effects of drought stress and increase the above-mentioned traits in those irrigation levels, and based on the results of this study, irrigation treatment after 90 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan + the use of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizal fungi is recommended.

        The main objective of this study is to investigate how cash flow and systematic risk can affect corporate diversification. When it comes to investment decisions and financial considerations in companies, diversification plays a crucial role. Studies indicated that corporate diversification influences employees’ productivity, cash retention, investment costs and overall company value. Diversification helps companies reduce risks when they encounter economic or market conditions. In other words, it assists companies in anticipating and preventing market changes and disruptions, thereby minimizing the impact of systematic risks. This research follows a descriptive and ex-post facto approach, categorized as cause and effect. The analysis of variables has been performed using multiple linear regression. Data from 118 companies between 2018 to 2022 were collected for research purposes. In order to analyze the data and test the hypotheses, Excel and EVIEWS software have been employed. The findings of this study indicate a relationship between systematic risk and corporate diversification. However, cash flow of companies and corporate diversification exhibited no significant correlation. Additionally, the results suggest that cash flow acts as a moderating variable that significantly influences the relationship between corporate diversification and systematic risk. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this article is to find the location, characteristics and reasons for the disappearance of Miyanjoob Caravanserai. This building was located in the middle of the road that connected the capital to the western regions of the country during the Qajar period. Historical-analytical research method has been used to find out the condition and characteristics of this building. In this method, by examining the historical sources of the Qajar period, the possibility of the existence of this caravanserai in the assumed place between Tehran and Karaj has been investigated, and according to the historical documents, the hypothesis has been proven. This study shows that the building was located in the vicinity of the current Wardvard and was called Mianjoob due to its location next to the stream that goes from the Karaj River to Tehran. The findings of this research also determine the reason for naming, the name and characteristics of the owner of the building, and the reason for the destruction of the building. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Metropolis of Tehran is one of the most polluted cities in the world. The present study aims to analyze the temporal-spatial behavior of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) in Tehran city. Material and Methodology: Thus, pollution- metric station data of Tehran Air Quality Control Company were used for evaluating the variations of air pollutants in temporal-spatial scales during 2013-2020. The results of statistical analysis of pollutant distribution in temporal-spatial scales were provided by using Arc GIS software and analytical function of inverse Distance Weighting interpolation (IDW) as maps, tables and graphs was demonstrated. Findings: Based on the results, particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) reached the minimum (65 and 23 µg/m3) and maximum concentration (81 and 30 µg/m3) at 18 and 24 p.m., respectively. In addition, maximum (81 and 30 µg/m3) and minimum concentration (73 and 23 µg/m3) of these pollutants was respectively related to Wednesday and Friday. Maximum seasonal concentration of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) relates to summer (90 µg/m3) and winter (35 µg/m3) respectively and the minimum seasonal concentration (65 and 24 µg/m3) of both pollutants relate to spring. The results of inverse Distance Weighting interpolation (IDW) indicated that west, south and central regions of Tehran in summer season involved with particulate matter (PM10) more than other regions. But in all seasons, except the western and southern regions, the central regions have a high concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5). Discussion and Conclusion: The particulate matter concentrations is more than its allowable limit in specific regions of Tehran in some yearly days and months. Therefore, city programmers and decision_ makers must have schedule table for particulate matter control management and air pollution reduction. Manuscript profile
