Urban livability and the right to the city are concepts related to sustainable development and social justice in cities and are effective in creating healthy, dynamic and just cities. While introducing livability and the right to the city as a dominant approach in urban planning in the contemporary world, this article has examined its theoretical origins, influential views and theoretical-experimental literature, its dimensions, and indicators. In terms of the fundamental-theoretical goal and its data, this research has been provided by the library- document method. Considering the wide range of topics and explanatory approaches available in this field, in this research, only those researches that have more relevance to the current research topic have been examined. Then, the theories of henri lefebvre and the theory of kevin lange, marcuse, tovey fenster, harvey, etc., as well as supporting concepts close to livability such as sustainable development, healthy city, neo-urbanism, smart growth and compact city have been examined.The findings of the article show that according to today's conditions, in most cities of the world there is a general agreement about the importance and necessity of recognizing, analyzing and explaining urban livability and the right to the city in various dimensions, but there is no consensus of opinion about the definition, standards and indicators. The most important reason for this can be seen in the direct dependence of this concept on the spatial and temporal conditions, and most importantly, the socio-economic and management background of the target community.

The old texture of the cities due to the historical antiquity and the existence of valuable historical elements, suitable communication situation, the location of the city's main market and its economic beating heart, etc., has a unique value and position in the spatial-functional structure of the city. The main goal of this research is to measure and evaluate the indicators of livability in the worn-out structure of Darb Babataher neighborhood in order to improve the viability of this historical structure. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and research-applied. The data was collected using a questionnaire, which was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha method, and the reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed using the Cronbach's alpha test, which was 0.851, which shows that the reliability of the questionnaires is at an acceptable level. In the final stage, the data was analyzed using t-test and Fisher's test, and among the factors affecting livability, urban services dimension with an average value of 134.26 and historical dimension with an average value of 69.93 were respectively the worst and best dimensions in life. The acceptability of the neighborhood has been recognized. However, it can be analyzed that although this neighborhood is considered the most important historical neighborhood of the city and is located in the center of the city, the desirable standards of life and its livability are at a very poor level.

On the one hand, access to services in cities and, on the other hand, urban ecological threats and the attraction of immigrant populations and their associated complications have created complex conditions in these villages that are of great importance to the biodiversity of these villages. The purpose of this study was to identify the biodiversity differences in the surrounding villages of Izeh. Method: The focus of the current study was the rural area located in 3 to 12 km of Izeh. The livability of these villages was investigated using 3 indices and 64 subindices. In this study which used a descriptive-analytic methodology to analyze data, t-test and Pearson correlation test in SPSS and Fuzzy TOPSIS technique was used. Findings: According to the results of the fuzzy TOPSIS decision making model, the villages around Izeh city are biodegradable in three categories: moderate, undesirable and unacceptable. Also, the results of T-test indicate that the western suburbs have better viability than the two eastern suburbs and the Netherlands. Finally, the results of Pearson correlation test show that there is a direct and significant relationship between the status of livelihoods and the population of the villages. Among the twelve components, pollution, housing, facilities and services, outlook and participation had the strongest relationship with the distribution of population in the villages around the city, respectively. Discussion and Conclusions: According to the findings, it has been shown that there is no improvement in the habitability score among the villages. Because none of the villages are acceptable and tolerable at the level of viability, and all of them are at moderate to unacceptable levels. Manuscript profile -

The most important distinguishing point of this research with similar researches is the use of the combined method of inferential statistics - spatial interpolation - structural relations. The present research method is descriptive and analytical in terms of nature and is practical in terms of purpose. To collect of information, a library-document and field-survey method was used. The tools of data collection are in several ways: observation, questionnaire, and taking notes. The statistical society of this research is the residents of Kouye Salar neighborhood, which has 18,000 people according to the 2016 census of the Statistics Center. To determine the sample size, Cochran's formula was used and the sample size was 376, which was distributed in the study area using the cluster random sampling method. One-sample t-test was used for quantitative data analysis and IDW method was used for spatial data analysis. The DEMATEL model has been used to evaluate the relationship between the livability dimensions. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and the reliability of the questionnaires was also confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test with the alpha coefficient value of 0.775. Based on the results of the research, the dimensions of livability, which include social, economic, environmental, urban management, historical pattern, and facilities and services, have obtained average of 2.94, 2.07, 3.01, 1.25, 1.83, and 2.55, respectively and also, the livability level is unfavorable with an average of 2.27. Also, the results of the spatial analysis of the livability dimensions in Kouye Salar neighborhood show that about 66% of the neighborhood is in an unfavorable condition. According to the results of DEMATEL model, the dimensions of urban management, economic and facilities and services as "cause" and the three dimensions of environment, social and history pattern as "disability" are extracted and shown in the livability of the locality territory. Extended AbstractIntroduction The ever-increasing growth of Urmia's urban population and on the other hand the city's transformation into a megalopolis has always challenged the level of quality of life, or in better words, the level of urban livability. In this regard, due to the unprincipled physical expansion of the city of Urmia from the north, it has caused the formation of informal settlements such as Kouye Salar, which has significant problems and deficiencies in terms of urban equipment and service uses, because of the unplanned development. Due to the rapid growth and development caused by the presence of a large number of immigrants from other regions, Kouye Salar neighborhood is experiencing many problems due to inefficiency in dimensions such as economic and urban management. This neighborhood, which is located in the 2nd region of Urmia, has a diverse population and is more suitable for immigrants. One of the main problems of the mentioned neighborhood is the informality and the lack of service and urban equipment uses. Therefore, the main purpose of the research is an analysis of the livability situation in Kouye Salar neighborhood. Among the innovative aspects of the research, we can mention the section of research method, which analyzed this neighborhood in terms of livability by combining spatial data and a questionnaire. The most important distinguishing point of this research with similar researches is the use of the combined method of inferential statistics-spatial interpolation-structural relations, so that a specialized expert's view is also made on the livability of Kouye Salar in addition to considering the votes and opinions of the neighborhood residents. Another distinction is the use of all livability dimensions, indicators and variables for a neighborhood, because usually, this range of components is used in extra-local scales and inferential and spatial statistical methods are also used in the same way.Methodology The present research method is descriptive and analytical in terms of nature and is practical in terms of purpose. To collect of information, a library-document and field-survey method was used, which In the first step, the background and theoretical literature of livability was collected from scientific articles and authentic documents, and then the field survey of the studied area was done. The tools of data collection are in several ways: observation, questionnaire, and taking notes. The statistical society of this research is the residents of Kouye Salar neighborhood, which has 18,000 people according to the 2016 census of the Statistics Center. Cochran's formula with an error percentage of 0.05 was used to determine the sample size, and a sample size of 376 was obtained which was distributed using cluster random sampling method in the study area. SPSS and GIS software were used for data analysis. Quantitative analysis of data through one-sample t-tests and spatial analysis of data through IDW method in the geographic information system have been done in order to evaluate the status of livability indicators and provide suggested solutions to improve the status of this neighborhood. Also, to evaluate the relationship between dimensions of livability, the DEMATEL, which is one of the multi-indicator decision-making methods, has been used and the opinions of 4 experts (urban planning, social, economic and social worker experts), who had sufficient knowledge of the research subject, were used in order to complete the initial matrix. To evaluate the validity of the questionnaire, experts in the fields of urbanism and urban planning were used, who confirmed its validity. Also, the reliability of the questionnaires has been evaluated through Cronbach's alpha test for about 20 questionnaires, which shows the good reliability of the questionnaire with the alpha coefficient value of 0.775.Results and discussionThe findings of this research show that according to the data from the field collection and the questionnaire and the results of the one-sample test, the qualitative status of the social, economic, facilities and services, urban management and historical pattern respectively with an average of 2.94, 2.07, 2.55, 1.25, 1.83 are at the lower than average level and the environmental dimension is at the average level with an average value of 3.01. The social and environmental dimensions are in the intermediate and medium to high level, which as mentioned earlier, factors such as relative security, establishment of ritual ceremonies, lack of differences and ethnic conflicts, reducing the level of pollution and proportionate collection of waste, have had a great impact on the relevant situation. The average level of facilities and services is mostly due to the existence of gas, electricity, drinking water network and provision of daily needs of the people, which mostly reflects the quantitative aspect, while Kouye Salar neighborhood has poor quality of drinking water and noticeable drop in water pressure in the warm season and the roads inside the neighborhood are not up to standard and quality, and at the same time, access to important services such as education and health is not optimal and is associated with difficulties and challenges for the residents. The neighborhood’s economy, regardless of its unfavorable and critical situation on a national scale, has complex conditions and the most important reason is the lack of attractiveness and fields for investment and entrepreneurship, and the existing micro-enterprises are currently operating with minimal production capacity and they are deprived of the necessary support and facilities. The worst situation is for urban management and historical patterns. Kouye Salar neighborhood, despite its historical background, does not have any suitable symbols and its public spaces, such as the network of roads, lack the necessary qualitative appeal. These factors have caused the overall livability level of the neighborhood to be defined as unfavorable, with an average of 2.27, and thus, the contrast and heterogeneity of an enclosed low-privileged place in the bio-peripheral circle is revealed with urban livability standards. Also, the results of the spatial analysis of the collected field data show that the situation of social, economic, environmental, urban facilities and services, urban management and historical pattern dimensions in the neighborhood is in an unfavorable situation, and these factors have caused a decrease in the level of livability in Kouye Salar neighborhood, so that this neighborhood with an area of 511,486 m2 is at an unfavorable level and with an area of 262,972 m2 at an intermediate level.ConclusionThe target neighborhood has also been examined from view of structure and cause and effect analysis, and according to DEMATEL model, the degree of influential - effectiveness of each of the dimensions on the neighborhood livability (according to unfavorable, intermediate and favorable components) has been investigated which according to the desired factors and indicators, dimensions of urban management, economic and facilities and services as "cause" and three dimensions of environment, social and historical pattern as "disabled", are extracted and shown in the livability of the locative territor Manuscript profile -

In this regard, purpose of the present study is to investigate the rate of livability in the NourAbad Delphan city for it leads to sustainable development. The method of this research is descriptive and analytical, using a questionnaire and direct observation tool. Therefore, a combination of quantitative and qualitative method is used. The statistical population of this study was all citizens of norabad city, which totaled 66417 in the year 1395. To estimate the sample size, a Cochran formula was used that number The sample was 384 according to this formula. After determining the sample size, the questionnaires were distributed randomly among the citizens. In addition, the researcher in person has directly observed the indicators studied at the city level. The obtained data were analyzed using Spss and T single-sample tests, Friedman test The results of this study showed that the dimensions of Livablity in Nourabad city were not coordinated and not equal, and then the environment with a total of 3 favorable and average indicators was 2.55 times higher than that of the city and more consistent with the criteria of the city of Livablity. Subsequent to the total of 6 indicators, 2 indicators of education , Social solidarity and social status, and the four indicators of the amount of leisure time services, health services, social security, social participation, and unfavorable status. The average score for the social dimension was 1.90. The last stage of the economic adventure was characterized by four indicators, which indicate that the housing and consumer goods in the optimal situation, the transport indicator, and the infrastructure are also relatively favorable and the employment index is in an extremely unfavorable situation. The undesirable index of employment in the city has not only greatly reduced the Livablity, which has caused permanent and seasonal migrations and especially young people in the city of Nur Abad. Thus, the dimensions of the habitability in the city of Nurabad are associated with severity and weakness, and the greater the extent of the environment to the Moving social and economic dimensions reduces the severity of Livablity.

C MoreCurrently, urban systems are facing great challenges related to the increase of various risks and their effects. In this regard, the continuous existence of risks has made it necessary to design resilient cities and, as a result, achieve sustainability and livability. Considering the alignment of the concepts of resilience and livability in achieving sustainability and appropriate quality of life in urban environments, the purpose of the current research is to analyze the relationship between livability and resilience with an emphasis on urban infrastructure in Ponak neighborhood of Tehran. The research method is mixed (quantitative-qualitative) with an applied purpose and a causal-correlation nature, which was used to analyze the information from the T-test and Pearson tests in SPSS software and the authors' field observations. The statistical population of the research also includes the citizens aged 19 to 65 years of Ponak neighborhood of Tehran, which was determined as a sample size of 384 people based on Cochran's model. The findings of the research show that the condition of the investigated neighborhood has been evaluated favorably from the perspective of urban infrastructure indicators in terms of livability and resilience. Also, in the dimension of livability, the only component of benefiting from green and public spaces suitable for recreation and social interaction, and in the dimension of resilience, the two components of access to suitable open spaces and temporary accommodation places in times of crisis and appropriate mechanisms to protect infrastructure and the existence of emergency plans for reconstruction they are in a bad situation. On the other hand, there is a significant positive and direct relationship between 6 components of livability and 6 components of resilience from the point of view of urban infrastructure in Ponak neighborhood at the 95% confidence level. In other words, the desirability of the neighborhood from the perspective of livable city infrastructure has led to the improvement of resilience in the dimensions of adaptability (ability to go back), resistance (ability to absorb shock) and variability (ability to change and adapt). In this way, according to the appropriate standards of urban planning, especially in the strengthening of houses and buildings, as well as the absence of hazardous uses in the aspect of livability, the return to the past has a favorable state in Ponak neighborhood. On the other hand, according to the existing infrastructure of the neighborhood, such as easy access to the main routes of the city and the flexibility of the roads, proper access to medical centers and rescue facilities, houses and resistant infrastructures, as well as the compatibility of the land use of the resistance neighborhood and the ability to absorb shock in Ponak neighborhood is highly desirable has it. Also, any crisis and danger in human and environmental dimensions will destroy the body and existing infrastructure. However, in order to achieve the ability to change and adapt to these risks, we need flexible plans in different dimensions, especially urban infrastructure. Adaptability is desirable in Ponak neighborhood due to proper infrastructure, however, the ability to change requires spending a lot of money and time. Manuscript profile -

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.

In this descriptive-analytical research, the focus is on investigating the subjective dimension of livability in Kermanshah metropolis. Employing a survey method based on a questionnaire, the sample size of 384 people was determined using the Cochran method, with samples selected based on the population of each region. After confirming the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, citizens' responses were entered into SPSS21 software to calculate the average of each index in the regions. The indicators were weighted using the Shannon entropy method. Livability status in the urban regions of Kermanshah was then examined using planning techniques such as TOPSIS, VIKOR, and SAW. Given the different ranking results provided by these techniques, the research employed the method of percentage and intensity of changes to identify the most suitable technique for measuring and ranking livability. Results reveal that, according to TOPSIS and VIKOR techniques, livability in most metropolitan regions of Kermanshah is unfavorable, with only region 5 deemed suitable. Conversely, the SAW technique evaluates the livability as favorable. Through the change percentage method, it was determined that the TOPSIS technique is more suitable for ranking and measuring the livability of Kermanshah metropolis. The research concludes with suggestions for enhancing the livability of Kermanshah metropolis. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, the present study with a descriptive-analytical approach has sought to examine the social livability condition of Tabriz metropolis in two Subjective and Objective dimensions. In order to measure the mental state of social livability (including 7 indicators and 80 items), first the relevant design questionnaire was designed, after determining the statistical sample in the 10 regions of Tabriz using Cochran's method (384 samples) and confirming the validity and reliability of the information questionnaire. Subjective dimension information collected; also, the last statistical yearbook (2018) of Tabriz has been used to examine the objective dimension (including 25 indicators). To analyze the relevant information, Shannon's entropy method has been used to weigh the indicators and research items and the corrective Morris method has been used to determine the social livability status of regions based on global literature at 5 levels. Finally, GIS software is used to draw maps to better understand the social livability at the regional level. The research findings indicate that in terms of Subjective dimension, region 2 with a social livability score of 89.2 is in an acceptable position and is ranked first. Most region (5 region) are in poor condition and unacceptable. In the objective dimension, none of the regions is in a suitable condition and the 10 studied regions are in an unfavorable and unacceptable situation. Finally, in the combined dimension (both objective and subjective dimensions), region 2 is in a tolerable state, region 3 is in the middle state and other regions (8 regions) are in an unfavorable state. Therefore, the results show that all urban areas of Tabriz need special attention of urban managers. Manuscript profile -

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the livability of nomadic settlements in the central part of Boyer Ahmad County by descriptive-analytical method. The research approach is a combined approach (quantitative - qualitative - quantitative). Required data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire, observation and semi-structured interviews based on grounded theory. The statistical population of the study consisted of four nomadic settlements with a total of 272 households. Data analysis was performed using Path Analysis and TOPSIS methods. The results show that employment and income criteria have the most significant direct effect on livability. Nomadic families living in a quiet, safe, balanced and stable residential environment with higher social welfare have a higher quality of life. Also, there is a statistically significant direct relationship between population size and proximity to the top urban centers with the livability of the centers. Also, the causal relationship between optimal water and pasture management indicates a significant indirect effect on livelihoods, meaning that livestock-based households pay little attention to environmental impacts and make the most use of nature. Moreover, from the point of view of the residents, Mansourabad has the first highest level of livability and the Talkhdan settlement is ranked second with the right points and the least difference, and Hosseinabad and Dali Bajak are in the third and fourth levels, respectively.

Several factors and can have an impact on the quality of life of villagers, one of them is livability and standard housing. Rural housing as a basic human need, with wide economic, social, cultural, environmental and physical dimensions, has a significant impact on the quality of life and sustainable rural development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between livability housing and quality of life of villagers in the village of Zirkooh. This study was done by the descriptive-analytic method. The sample size is 313 households that was selected by using the Cochran formula with a 5% error measurement. According to the results, the livability variable with a Pearson statistic of 0.616 with high quality of life has a strong direct correlation. Also, due to the significant level that is less than 0.05, the livability variable has a significant relationship with the quality of life and has the ability to be generalized to the whole society. The effect of livability variable on both objective and subjective dimensions was confirmed but according to the adjusted coefficient of determination for the mental dimension of quality of life is 0.307 and for the objective dimension is 0.328, which indicates that 30.7% of the subjective changes and 32.8% of the objective dimension changes in the dependent villages is livability housing. more effect of the livability housing variable on the objective dimension of quality of life.

According to Cochran formula, the number of samples needed to complete the questionnaire was 169 households. To analyze the data, one-sample T Test, Pearson, and Smat PLS structural equations were used and for the ranking of villages, a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method, VICOR, was applied. The findings of this research indicate that the mean of place identity among the studied villages is low and the place identity dimensions, which include differentiation, continuity, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, have a significant relationship with the livability variable. Therefore, the higher the place identity, the higher the livability of the villagers. The differentiation variable has a direct impact on the livability variable of .0001 This means that this variable has a direct effect on the livability structure of 10%. Also, the continuity variable has a direct and inverse relation of -0/29.7 on the livability structure. This means that with an increase in the structure of continuity, we will see a decrease in the unit of livability (by -0.297). In addition, self-esteem and self-efficacy variables have a direct effect on the viability structure with the rate of 0.31 and 0.61, respectively. As it can be seen, the self-efficacy variable as compared with other variables has a more direct effect (62.1%) on the livability. Manuscript profile -

Presently, their "instability" has emerged as a major challenge for the space planning and management system. "Tourism development" is regarded as an indispensable strategy in many countries to promote sustainability and enhance livability in rural and peri-urban areas.Research aim: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of tourism on the livability of tourist destination settlements in Pirasher Birjand and compare it with a number of control villages (non-tourism villages) with a comparative approach.Research methodology: This is a documentary and survey research with an applied nature, and its method is a combination of descriptive and analytical methods. The tool for collecting information at the level of the studied settlements is a questionnaire, which has been used after checking and confirming its validity and reliability. The studied settlements include fourteen tourist destination villages in Pirasher Birjand and seven Shahid villages.Results: According to the findings, the livability status of the tourist destination villages in Birjand Pirasher has a significant difference with the control villages, and the overall livability index was higher in the tourist destination villages. Also, there is a significant difference between the four dimensions of livability (social, environmental, physical and economic). In general, it can be concluded that tourism has a positive effect on livability in peri-urban areas, and this effect takes place directly through the mechanism of changes in the employment status and income of residents of peri-urban settlements. The impact of tourism on the livability of rural areas has "spatial and geographical nationality".Conclusion: Finally, diversification of business fields in rural areas, especially Pirasher, can play a key role in changing and improving the livability of settlements.
