        Introduction and Purpose: Today, lack of attention to ecological and environmental issues in the design of urban public spaces and the existence of a purely architectural attitude in the designs cause destroys the natural environment of cities and disturbs its order in the urban space. This in turn over time, the loss of identity of cities will reduce the readability and discomfort for city residents and it will dilute the relationship between public spaces and nature. Yousefabad neighborhood is located in District 6 as the identity card of Tehran. This neighborhood has had urban spaces with a high level of social interactions and the location of aqueducts and gardens in the past Which are now completely destroyed by urban development. The main purpose of the forthcoming research is Knowledge, analysis and environmental design of ecological infrastructure using the principle of connection between urban spaces and nature in the neighborhood of Yousefabad. Method: The type of research is quantitative-survey method. Component were analyzed by using 256 questionnaires among residents to examine the effect of public space criteria and connection with nature in ecological design and determining the degree of importance of each the component. Findings: Based on the findings, the most important and the least important components are as green infrastructure as the most important indicator with a score of 7.87 and participation as the least important indicator with a score of 5.43 Conclusion: The results showed that green infrastructure is the most important indicator and participation is the least important indicator. Yousefabad neighborhood has not reached the balance between important and specific research components.  It can only be done by the potential of public spaces in the neighborhood to achieved a remarkable ecological network design.   Manuscript profile

        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

        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.

               Today, the finding organizations and the optimal organization of space in cities is a major aim in order to create sustainable development for cities. In the meantime, location and optimal establishment activities as well as the proportional distribution in cities and towns are highly effective in achieving optimal physical arrangement. The research method deployed is a descriptive - analytic one that has been carried out in order to perform optimal site selection of educational space in urban areas, with emphasis on locating schools in 6th area of Ahvaz. To achieve the above objective and analysis of information obtained, Fuzzy Delphi AHP (FDAHP) and Cut Fill functions are used. To locate the optimal place Arc GIS software is used for prioritization of urban land uses in proximity to schools. In this research the feedback information (Comments) of 15 experts have been obtained and analyzed. The results show that, according to weights obtained from Fuzzy Delphi Analytic Hierarchy Process (FDAPH), residential land use is a top priority for the schools neighborhood. Manuscript profile
