  The multi-core spatial structure is one of the important and basic topics in urban planning studies, which is considered both as a framework for evaluating urban development and as a basic spatial development goal. Considering the importance of the multi-core spatial structure pattern, especially for large cities with high populations and diverse and complex activities, the present study aims to evaluate the spatial structure of Tabriz city from the perspective of multi-core pattern development based on the spatial distribution of functions and population across the city. The present study employs a Quantitative Correlational Research method. The documentary method is used for data collection, and various techniques such as mean center, standard deviational ellipse, kernel density estimation, location quotient (L.Q.), nearest neighbor index, and geographically weighted regression are applied for data analysis. The study examines six functions: religious, educational, commercial, healthcare, industrial, and administrative. The findings suggest that the spatial distribution of functional cores, except for industrial and commercial functions, exhibits a single-core spatial structure in the city center. Also, the results indicate that the correlation between functional cores and the population of Tabriz city, based on the spatial regression test, is moderate. Accordingly, an imbalance in the distribution of functional cores in Tabriz City is evident. Therefore, Tabriz is located in a single-core state, and due to the increase in the distribution of administrative and medical functions in the eastern and industries in the western, it can become a multi-core model.

  The purpose of this study was to determine the evolution of environmental and social performance of Mashhad metropolitan residents on the happiness of its residents. The metod research was descriptive and analytical, and the required data were obtained using the Oxford Happiness Scale Questionnaire, which was rewritten to collect economic and social information and urban practices. The sample was 780 households in 155 neighborhoods of Mashhad. The collected data were analyzed using F and Chi-square and Hussman and Lemmer tests in SPSS software. The results showed that the eleven and twelve districts of Mashhad were in the first place with a score of 5.9 on the ladder of happiness and district three is at the lowest level with 0.5. Statistical tests also showed that the study areas had a significant difference in terms of happiness, but the happiness in each area did not change significantly over time. Finally, the values of F and X2 for the simultaneous test of cross-sectional and temporal constant effects were 10.7 and 308.5, respectively, indicating that there were constant effects for both regions and for each region over time.
