        This study aimed to identifying the role of communication system 137 as a new media and a bridge between the citizens of Tehran and officials of Tehran Municipality in increasing satisfaction of the citizens with the performance of the municipality of Tehran. This study is an applied survey. The statistical population includes all citizens of 22 districts of Tehran who are above 20 years old and have experienced at least once all the processes of communicating with the communication system 137. In this study due to lack of access to all the citizens residing in Tehran, the city of Tehran was divided into  4 parts according to the map using cluster sampling method- North East, South East, North West and South West- and one region was chosen as the statistical sample by simple random method. The sample size determined by Cochrane formula consisted of 384 subjects and the questionnaires were generally distributed among 402 residents of districts 3, 5, 10, and 16 who were randomly selected. The data were collected using a questionnaire. Validity of research was confirmed by the advising professors and its reliability was confirmed by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.885. Descriptive and inferential analysis of data was made by SPSS software. According to the results, the communication system 137 plays a role in increasing the satisfaction of citizens of Tehran with the performance of municipality of Tehran. In addition to its functions, this system receives the messages sent by citizens, completion of the process of news recording and feedback survey. It was found that there is no significant relationship between contacting of citizens of Tehran with the communication system 137 and increasing their satisfaction with the performance of Tehran Municipality. The satisfaction of the citizens of Tehran with performance of Tehran municipality is evaluated average and low. The most frequent subjects for which the citizens of Tehran contact with the communication system 137 are parks and green spaces, development of cultural spaces, collection of the homeless, and putting mousetraps in the city.

        As the local and original residents of historical neighborhoods of a city leaves the districts and they are replaced by low-income migrants, many problems are observed in the city. The most important of these problems are including development of criminal centers, identity crisis, horizontal development of city, creation of periphery and suburb towns, and challenges in infrastructure development. Therefore, it is necessary to apply the best restructuring strategy to the two conflict approaches of Gentrification and Persisting residents. The problem can be observed in the old historic neighborhood of Ochdokan, Ardabil. The Ochdokan is one of the six old urban neighborhoods of Ardabil. There are some valuable and important historical monuments in the neighborhood. The residents of the neighborhood are unsatisfied because of its location, excessive crowd in daytime, physical outwearing environment, inefficient urban networks, unsuitable landuses, and incompetent structure to meets daily needs. The nonsatisfaction leads the residents to leave the area. The objective of this research is to address the problem in Ochdokan, Ardabil, Iran. This is an applied research in nature of the study. In terms of purpose, this study is a causal and descriptive-analytical investigation. We have used descriptive methods and field observations to gather data. The inferential statistic T test and descriptive statistics have also been applied for analysis of the data. The real estate rent gap theory of Neil Smith is one of the most important theories about the substitution of social classes as the gentrification approach. The Marxist theorists explain the gentrification process using the real estate rent gap hypothesis. The value gap hypothesis was also outlined by Hament and Randolf. When the value gap between non-accommodated houses and reformed occupied house is the maximum, the gentrification process is occurred. Lee’s humanism individualistic view is another gentrification approach in which the discussions mainly emphasize on the cultural preferences and demographic traits of the grandee and fulsome individuals.The results of the criteria and the indices of the approach for the Ochdokan have indicated that high level of literacy and social income as well as absence of eminent practitioners in the locality are representative of homogenous economic and job structure in the neighborhood. In other words, not only the social structure of the neighborhood is homogenous, but it is also homogenous for economic structure. Negligible presence of non-aboriginal residents as lessee in the area show low value of rent gap and also value gap for the neighborhood. Therefore, the stages of leaving, release, and substitution of the non-aboriginal migrant groups should occur as the initial necessity for the gentrification process via market forces. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the residents, provide them with investment opportunities and improve the physical condition.analysis of the data for the first hypothesis by SPSS has indicated that the hypothesis is significant (Alpha < 0.05). So the hull hypothesis is rejected. According to the results of this research, with a 95% of confidence, it can be concluded that applying the gentrification had unsuitable impacts upon the revitalization of the Ochdokan.

        The first thing that comes to mind when residential areas in the culture of contemporary Iranian architecture are studied is that achieving higher quality in residential environments is a necessity given the said point. Identifying the main factors that affect quality improvement, providing a model for quality measurement in the residential environment, and then prioritizing indexes is essential. Not only does this method study the issue of quality from the perspective of residents living in the selected complex, but also it can be used in quality improvement policies and strategies of residential environments. Therefore, this article considers three main factors: capability of intermediate spaces, quality of architectural design, and personal characteristics of residents in question. This article analyzed the relationship between these factors and the quality of residential complexes. Further, it determined environmental quality based on residents’ needs and expectations by providing a four-level model for measuring quality in residential complexes and measuring indicators from residents. Then, it identified the principal indicators in quality improvement of the environment by prioritizing indicators. This measurement used t-test, correlation, and factor analysis. The results obtained in the field of research hypotheses showed that there is a significant correlation between the indicators of the duration of residence, level of education, age and type of ownership (in the individual characteristics of residents), the ability of intermediate spaces, and the quality of architects’ design with the quality of the residential environment. The results showed that the residents of Vahdat Beton Complex are not satisfied with the quality of their residential environment. The quality score showed that the most dissatisfaction is with the area of the residential complex. Also, the consequence of the significant coefficient demonstrated that the area of the residential unit should be considered by the city officials, as their top priority. The results of the analysis of the elements that make up the quality of the environment showed that space 2 at the level of the neighborhood unit, space 2 at the level of the residential complex, and space 3 at the level of the residential unit is more important spaces for the residents. Moreover, the lowest level of residents’ satisfaction is with the accessibility at the level of the residential complex and the observance of privacy, overlooking, and visual pleasure at the level of the residential unit. Prioritization of measures to improve the quality of the environment showed that space 3, at the level of the neighborhood unit, space 2 at the level of a residential complex, spaces 1 & 3 at the level of the residential unit are the most important spaces for improving the quality of buildings. It also showed that indicators of green space and social livelihood in space 2, visual pleasure and sensual richness in space 3 of neighborhood unit level, accessibility, and readability in space3, green space and controlling the entry of strangers to the complex in space 1 of residential complex level, green space, and belonging in space 3, privacy and overlooking in space 1 of the residential unit level.  Manuscript profile

        Interventions in historical contexts are taking place with different approaches throughout Iran and the world. The present study was designed to answer the question of what approaches should be taken in relation to residents’ viewpoints in the Jobebara neighborhood of Isfahan, which is a historical context. For this reason, after reviewing a variety of strategies, the residents’ opinion and their democratic intervention and social participation were selected as the appropriate research strategies, which was tested through a questionnaire of residents’ opinions on the subject under investigation. The method of the present study is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods so that the interpretation and analysis of various books and articles related to the field of interfacial development are placed alongside the quantitative method (questionnaire) in the field of analysis, and evaluation of interfacial structures and also for the purpose of the application. The data collection methods in this study are library and field research, because the researcher first studied library resources and then field studies, interviewed specialists in the field and residents in the context by drawing visual questionnaires on the subject of research. To identify infill buildings, all approaches to infill buildings include ten methods including, maximal contrast, and stylistic approach, stylistic maximum likelihood and new synergy approach, facade approach, ornamental approach, deductive approach, and line design, neutral or zero degrees, unstable architecture coexistence, style and fantasy, subtle or mirrored building approach, contextual architecture with continuity approach, hybrid approach were analyzed and then co-integration and integration approaches were analyzed. Finally, integrated approaches were decreased to 5 approaches, the approach of conflict and contrast maximum and candid style, approach parallels maximum style and synergy between the new and old approach, preservation of the facade approach, neutral or degree zero architectural approaches, and creating subtle or mirror new buildings, respectively. In developing the questionnaire, a growing number of images related to the architecture of infill buildings in historical contexts of different parts of Iran and the world, especially the city of Isfahan, including Jouyebra, were tested by the Delphi method and based on five selected approaches in this field. The scores on both questionnaires were scored on a Likert scale (score scale), in which each image was scored from very low to very high (1-5). Then, the highest-rated images and their questions were surveyed by 360 residents, and finally, 340 people were accepted and analyzed by the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software. Investigating the reliability of the variables under examination in the historical texture of the river. It was found that the inhabitants of the neighborhood generally wanted a completely new and modern construction in their texture, compared to being in harmony with the existing texture. This means that most residents were unenthusiastic in the texture of their neighborhood and were looking for modernity. For this reason, the findings showed that residents’ views of reflective and mirrored approaches to new buildings to the neutral or zero degree architecture approaches ranged from highest to lowest, respectively.

        The implementation of the forest protection plan was started in 2003 in the form of a national plan due to the unfavorable situation of the Zagros forests and with the aim of protecting and developing forests in this region of the country. Considering the national nature of the multi-purpose forestry plan and the allocation of the national budget to it, the present study was conducted with the aim of quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the implementation of the plan in Khuzestan province. In this study, some parts of the forests under the management of the plan in Izeh, Andimeshk, Baghmalek and Indika were selected. At first, the multi-purpose forestry plan was defined based on the law on the protection and utilization of forests in the form of three goals of protection, restoration, and development and, of course, increasing the income of foresters, and all executive projects were included in these goals. To analyze the quantitative data, a one-way analysis of variance and Duncan's multiple-range mean comparison test were used to compare the means of the variables. Qualitative data and data differences between different studied areas were also analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Based on the results of this study, it was found that in Khuzestan province in terms of quantity and quality of the plan implementation, Izeh area had the best performance, and Indika, Baghmalek and Andimeshk areas were in the next rank. The results also showed that the goals in the form of protection of Zagros forests are at the highest quantitative and qualitative levels. Forest development and rehabilitation are the second priority and the least planning to increase the income of forest dwellers and reduce their dependence on forests. Therefore, it cannot be expected that the executive projects within multi-use forestry plan of Zagros forests will succeed without changing the income level of foresters and the natives of the region will have maximum cooperation in advancing the goals of the plan with the government.

        Background and Aim: In order to understand the impacts of watershed management (WM) measures and their effect in solving the socio-economic and environmental problems of region, it is necessary to evaluate these measures to improve future activities in watersheds. One of the important aspects in the watershed management decision making (DM) is to consider the stakeholders participation in the planning process. On the other hand, the participation of stakeholders is not same and their opinions on the issue are varied.Method: Therefore, stakeholders in the mentioned watershed were divided into six main groups, and the values of the social network ratios of stakeholder groups regarding the issues discussed during face-to-face interviews were calculated.In this study, the Social Profile Ratio (SPR) method was used to determine effective stakeholder groups in decision-making and implementation of watershed management activities in the Emamkandi watershed in the northern province of Urmia in 1999. The social profile ratio, as a tool for introducing the characteristics of society and stakeholders, plays an important role in informed decision-making by the Watershed Planning Committee, and is calculated based on the scores of components including the position, power, and salience of stakeholders in relation to the issue. Therefore, stakeholders in the mentioned watershed were divided into six main groups, and the values of the social network ratios of stakeholder groups regarding the issues discussed during face-to-face interviews were calculated.Results: According to the results, stakeholders placed more importance on the "importance" component compared to the "position" and "power" components. The social network ratios for all stakeholders were calculated to be greater than one, indicating their agreement with the issue.Conclusion: Overall, based on the results of the study, it can be said that the group of managers and experts from the Agricultural Jihad organization had the highest agreement with the issues raised compared to other groups. The use of local knowledge to create motivation for better participation had the highest social network ratio, and the lowest agreement was related to the issue of the impact of decisions made by institutions and executive organizations on improving the income of watershed residents. The results of the social network ratios for the issue of using local knowledge to create motivation for better participation in watershed management projects showed that three groups of managers, biological experts, and agricultural Jihad experts agreed with the issue raised, and the numerical value of this ratio for managers (equal to 33) indicates the agreement of most managers. In all participating groups except for managers and Agricultural Jihad experts, the social network ratios indicate their disagreement with the issue of involving watershed residents in practical watershed management decisions.

        Background and Objective: Increasing world population and need to more production, limited water resources and the indiscriminate use of them specially in arid and semi-arid regions and also the huge amount of sullage produced in cities and the necessity for proper disposal of them, increased the urgency (necessity) of using wastes in order to farming & feeding the under- ground aquifers. Cadmium, lead and nickel are such pollutants which can enter to water, soil and plant and finally to human and animals’ food chain from different resources.Material and Methodology: This Study was performed to evaluate the amount of soil contamination in the south Tehran farms and mapping the studied area using geostatistical methods. From the 2000 hectares of the agricultural farms around Firooz Abad stream in Tehran south in 2014, 175 soil samples were selected with 300 meters intervals. Two methods of mapping including kriging and Inverse distance weighting (IDW) were used.Finding: Based on mean concentration, the metals in studied area were in following decreasing order: nickel> lead> cadmium. According to the standards proposed by the environmental protection Agency of Iran, 13 and 9 % of soil samples are contaminated to total lead and nickel, respectively.Discussion and Conclusion: Due to the importance of point spatial variation of soil pollutants, the IDW method was identified as the suitable method for mapping the concentration of total lead and nickel. The total lead and nickel concentration in about 161 and 14 hectares of the agricultural lands, respectively, were more than allowed limits. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Background and Objective: Airports are the most basic parts of air transport system, and presence of new generation of modern aircrafts, rapid growth of traffic volume and demand for air travel, and adoption of coherent and precise rules and regulations for various stages of flight operations have made the airport a complex and dynamic system. The aim of this study is to perform management and land use planning using an environmental approach at Mehrabad Airport. The first hypothesis is that the airport surrounding areas are related to flight safety. The second hypothesis is that the use of the airport surronding areas is related to environmental protection, and the third hypothesis is that land management and planning affect the comfort and security of the people residing in the airport surrounding area. Method: The study was carried out through investigation of the study area using Arc GIS 9.3 software to produce geographic position maps of the area, land use areas, and communication networks. Then, by adjusting and distributing the questionnaire, the effective factors on land use management were assessed and the strengths and weaknesses of the strategic management method were identified. The questionnaires were analyzed by correlation analysis using the SPPS19 software. Findings: The findings of the first hypothesis suggest that there is a meaningful and direct relationship between the parameters of "the airport surrounding area" and "flight security". In the second hypothesis, there is a meaningful and inverse relationship between the factors "how to use the airport surrounding area" and "environmental protection". The third hypothesis indicated the meaningful and direct relationship between the variables of "land management and planning" and "comfort and security of the people residing in the airport surrounding area". Discussion and Conclusion: Results of the analysis show that among the respondents, most of the pilots (90.5%) believe that there is a strong relationship between the the airport surrounding areas and the flight safety. Only 4.8% believed that this relationship was insignificant. In contrast, 4.8% of the remaining respondants also reported this connection to be very much. Manuscript profile

        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.
