        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

        Cities are often the site of overcrowding and man-made phenomena. For this reason, in the absence of earthquake preparedness, the probability of human and financial losses is high. The main issue is to what extent the society is able to return to its original state after a major disaster. Therefore, measuring and analyzing the resilience of urban land use clarifies the importance and necessity of the present study. The general purpose of this article is to determine the importance of the role of each of the criteria and indicators of resilience in District 22 of Tehran as an environmental area. The research method of this research is descriptive-analytical, and its nature is applied. In this study, first the theoretical framework of the research was done by collecting information through documentary studies, then the degree of resilience of urban land use, based on the opinions of experts and review of previous research, criteria and sub-criteria of resilience were determined. After that, pairwise comparisons of indicators were performed with the help of 20 faculty members and experts who specialized in urban planning and management. In order to evaluate and evaluate the final degree of resilience, FAHP method and GIS system have been used. Finally, evaluations and studies showed that the average resilience of the structural-natural criterion is moderate in District 22 of Tehran Municipality. Manuscript profile

        The growing population and necessary development of urban areas have raised major concern about how to minimize natural hazards in urban societies. Urban growth is changing constantly owing to the way of humanity lives on the earth. The size of both cities and their urban populations is unprecedented. Major changes in city sizes have altered the way land and its resources are used and manifestly led to undesirable environmental consequences. Examined casualties of and damages from earthquake in cities show that a high percentage of damages are directly or indirectly caused by unacceptability of planning and calculated risks to cities so as to reduce them. It can be said in actual fact that damages and casualties of earthquake are mainly caused not only by violated standards of structures but also by improper principals of urban planning (including design). Minimizing the risk of earthquake relies upon pre- and post- earthquake studies of urban plans (including design). A positive step forward in decreasing the vulnerability of urban areas to earthquake is considering urban land use planning as a central core of urban planning. An increased flexibility of urban areas to minimize earthquake risks depends on including proof against earthquake in urban planning. This paper attempts to show the relationship between urban land use and vulnerability of cities against earthquake, primarily focusing on the necessity of including the relationship in urban planning. Determining strategies for land use planning, this paper offers flexible, simple, logical and effective policies on and criteria for rehabilitating urban fabric Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this paper was to determination of the effective factors in prediction of traffic created from urban applications in Neyshabour. This study has been performed by descriptive in the form of correlation of prediction. Field data has been gathered, in case of a questionnaire. The case study in poll section determine 60 person in basis of Morgan chart that were separated into two groups in each 30 persons between employees in urban administration and other people. Data that gathered in this way analyzed by use of spss. The results showed that number of employees in each land use or its functions, has undeniable role in increasing the scale of traffic production (P= 0/000), but other noted factors can’t predict it however urban lists are related to the scale of traffic production. The number of employees in each land use is also clarified in this research. We can say that urban administration have to estimate any amount of traffic before getting any license for land use change or localization and specific performance and also estimate its effect over the entire transport ion net .

        As of late, the city's quick development has caused numerous urban issues. One of these critical issues in urban areas is the absence of readiness in case of catastrophes in metropolitan territories. So as to stay away from this, the estimation and investigation of urban land use avalanche is vital. The general target of this paper is to get successful factors in the degree of urban land use debasement and decide the significance of every one of the criteria and pointers of the territory. 22 urban communities of Tehran are the natural region. The examination technique for this exploration is diagnostic distinct and its temperament is appropriate. In this paper, hypothetical establishments were first presented through the gathering of data and narrative examinations. In the accompanying, to decide the degree of land use debasement, strength criteria dependent on the Delphi approach and the investigation of past examinations were resolved. At that point, with the assistance of 20 employees and specialists gaining practical experience in urban arranging and the board, a couple of markers were looked at. So as to assess and finish the versatility of the FAHP technique, the GIS framework has been utilized. The aftereffects of the exploration demonstrate that the mean auxiliary, characteristic basic, basic, financial, social spatial-utilitarian flexibility is 0.54, 0.20, 0.069 and 0.193 individually. At last, the evaluation and appraisal from region 22 demonstrated that the territory is tolerably unobtrusive Manuscript profile

        Land use change in cities leads to changes in surface temperature and surface albedo. Surface albedo plays an important role in land surface energy budget and climate. This article examines the land use changes and its effect on the surface albedo and surface temperature. For this purpose, 3 satellite images of Landsat 5 and 8 were used for August, 1998, 2010 and 2017 in the area of Sari to Chalus cities. The Sabal algorithm was used to extract the surface temperature and surface albedo. Urban thermal characteristics were analyzed by examining the relationships between land surface temperature (LST) and two indices, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI). The results of this research confirm the inverse and significant relationship between LST and NDVI and the direct and significant relationship between LST and each of the variables Albedo and NDBI. On the other hand, during the years 1978 to 2017, built-Up area that form impervious surfaces have been replaced by natural and permeable surfaces, in other words, a decrease in NDVI and an increase in NDBI and Albedo have been observed in the studied area. The surface of the earth has been manifested in cities. Also, the correlation between NDVI and LST is rather weak, but there is a strong positive correlation between albedo, NDBI and LST. The increase in construction in cities has led to an increase in albedo and the subsequent increase in surface temperature due to the increase in impervious surfaces. Manuscript profile

        Urban thermal islands are one of the most common urban climatic phenomena in which some urban areas, especially urban centers, are several degrees warmer than the surrounding areas. The study of this phenomenon and its mechanism of study is very important for urban planning. This research has been applied in terms of analytical method and in terms of purpose and has been done with the aim of investigating the effect of applications on the temperature of Yazd desert city. To illustrate this relationship, images from the 2005 and 2015 Terra satellites measuring the Aster were used. The results of the studies show that the physical expansion of the city of Yazd in different historical periods, has led to the advancement of this city in the marginal salt and sand surfaces, so that construction and asphalt areas, increase and areas Salt and sand and barren lands on the outskirts of the city have declined. As a result, most of the thermal islands of Yazd city have been formed in marginal areas and barren lands. In this regard, there is a negative correlation between the two variables of vegetation and land surface temperature during the 10-year period, which indicates that the size of the heat islands has increased as the green space decreases Manuscript profile

        Urban land use planning is the core of the urban planning system. The purpose of land use planning is proposing an appropriate configuration and placing for urban land using and activities, especially in towns with a combined land using by lots of variety. Achieving this goal requires an understanding of space allocation and land distribution among users that is possible by using qualitative and quantitative methods. In this paper, we evaluate the land using in Zarghan downtown.For this purpose, we used quantitative and qualitative assessment. In quantitative assessment we discussed about the capital account and compared them with existing standards. In qualitative evaluation, by using environmental quality indicators we established the questionairs and spread them among residents. Data collection methods contains the field, library, interviews with officials and residents and develop a questionnaire. Results of Zarghan show that expanding urban population has increased in recent decades and it is causing an imbalance in the distribution of land uses. This growth is negligible and although currently not lead to deterioration of the situation but has taken an upward trend. Capitation of lots of land useage is match with existing standards and satisfaction has earned favorable to the residents. Manuscript profile

        The increasing growth of urbanization in terms of number and population in the last two decades without fundamental changes in urbanization patterns has caused many economic, social and environmental problems for its inhabitants. In order to overcome these problems, the idea of ​​sustainable urban development and in line with it, new approaches and strategies such as smart urban growth have been proposed by urban thinkers. Smart urban growth is one of the new models of urban planning to organize the development process of cities and respond to the scattered urban growth. In fact, the smart growth strategy seeks to reshape cities and lead them to a viable community with access to a favorable environment, an integrated urban transportation system, urban congestion, and mixed uses. In the present article, the five urban areas of Marand have been studied in terms of urban land use according to the indicators of smart urban growth strategy. The research method in this article is "applied" and concerning the method is "descriptive-analytical". Using the AHP method, the desired indicators have been weighted and using the TOPSIS multi-criteria decision model have been analyzed and evaluated in the five areas of Marand based on smart urban growth indicators. The results of TOPSIS model show significant differences in terms of smart urban growth index and urban land uses in Marand urban areas. So that District 3 of Marand with a TOPSIS score of 0.1133 is in the first rank and District 5 with a TOPSIS score of 0.0128 is in the last one. Due to the inequality of areas, while paying attention to the strategy of smart urban growth in the whole city, districts 1 and 5, which are less developed, should be considered in the priority of development plans by city planners and authorities.

        With their many functions, metropolitan cities have strong relationships with the peripheral areas and especially the villages of the penetration zone, and this has a profound impact on the economic, social, cultural, and even physical aspects of the villages. Economic growth of cities is due to their economic relations. The city and the countryside have the advantages of attracting rural employment, creating out-of-village job opportunities and rural-urban migration. The metropolis of Tabriz, in various historical periods, has played a strong transnational role from Eastern Europe to South and Central Asia, which shows its undeniable role in taking on some strong professional functions to perform this task. This interconnection between the metropolitan city of Tabriz and its sphere of influence, on one hand, extends the physical development of the city to its national metropolis, and on the other hand, the physical development of the surrounding villages and extensive user changes in these villages, along with widespread demographic, economic and cultural changes will be obtained. This issue is the main subject of the present research and its main objective is to monitor and evaluate the role of the expansion of the metropolitan city of Tabriz by urban-rural migrations and its impact on physical changes, in particular, land use changes in the urban areas. This study concerning its purpose is a descriptive one and as the methodology is considered is an applied research which has been developed based on the questionnaires used in the study and analyzing its items. To achieve the objectives of the study, we used the Cronbach, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, T-Student and multivariate regression tests. The results show strong correlation between migration and change indicators if more than 85% of land use variations are expected by the migratory variables. Manuscript profile

         Land use planning is at outmost importance in urban planning. Monitoring and spatial organizing of local and functions of cities is an important factor in resistant development. The resistance of residential functions for urban development is important as well. Therefore,  this study tends to survey the quantities and qualitativenature of land use of Dehgolan city development process. This study aimed to assess the quality and quantity of urban land use with an emphasis on sustainability and strengthening residential users in Dehgolan. Methods of investigation include analytical - applied method which incompasses  the use of qualitative and quantitative assessment of Dehgolan city land use; process across which quantitative assessment criteria for residential users were deployed  by making use of rigid planing and authors' field observations to provide triangulating suport. In this study, in order to evaluate the quality and consistency of residential users of the software with other users’ and in order to probe qualitative land use consistency for residential purposes an evaluation of ARC GIS and Distance model  were applied. The results showed the lack of age of personal share for most users; primarily residential users that was observed to be  about 15.11 square meters.

        Land use planning program has  always been the most important factor in urban planning, because it determines land use and spatial structure of cities, on the one hand,  and on the other hand it also determines the economic value of each piece of land. Therefore,  different perspectives are presented on ways of using this important resource that are important  regardless of quality of life issues, while the quantity, per capita and access are considered. In the recent decades changes have happened to the urban planning.  Consequently,  land use planning has been neglected  and  attention to land quality issues were rare. There have been times when solutions  have been offered for improving it, however, inefficient and inadequate. In this regard, approaches to sustainable development with emphasis on efficient use of land has provided a  new approach in urban planning and has been followed by the most important element of it - Land use planning.   In this paper it  has been tried to choose most important indicators that are effective on urban land use; also this indicators were adapted on sustainable devel0opment then they  were used for evaluation of urban sustainability of urban land use. Since the protection of monuments and their privacy were of the most important elements of sustainable development, indicators were chosen with emphasis on protection of monuments and privacy compliance date . Further we were trying to combined these indicators with other indicators of urban sustainable development. For this purpose order maps showing space density were used to determine Kernel density estimation (KDE) and for combination of  layers and providing  the final map on AHP model. The results show that districts located in the eastern half – New city districts- have more stability than the  districts located in thewestern half in city of Susa. Manuscript profile

        Among the important factors in urban planning and management, particularly in line with the achievement of the sustainable development in the urban areas as well as regarding the optimal use of the land, is on-time access to the data of land cover conditions in these regions. The remote sensing data has a high potential for the preparation of the update urban land cover maps. In order to present on-time and digital satellite data, a variety of shapes and possibility of processing during land cover maps are of high significance. In order to use the satellite photos Landsat/ETM+ and two algorithm of supervised classification including the maximum likelihood and the artificial neural network, land cover maps were prepared. During classification, the neural network algorithm of a perceptron network with a hidden layer and 7 input neurons, nine middle neurons and 4 output neurons were used. The input neurons are the same in number as the bands of the Landsat photos and the number of output neurons are the same as land cover map classes. Eventually, land cover map of the region has been classified into four classes of residential areas, barren lands, plant coverage, and roads. In order to evaluate the correctness of the classification results, many photos have been taken using GPS. Using overall accuracy and Kappa Coefficient the precision evaluation results of these two methods indicate that perceptron neural network has an overall accuracy of 98/24 and Kappa Coefficient 97/03 compared to the algorithm of maximum likelihood with an overall accuracy of 94/23 and Kappa Coefficient 90 / 34 is of higher precision. The findings of this study also show that the classification method for multilayer perceptron neural network as compared with the maximum likelihood method is of higher separation and capability for preparing the land cover map in the urban regions.
