The amount and distribution of municipal service applications can play an important role in the space mobility in urban areas and cause population and demographic changes. Since one of the criteria for sustainable development is a balanced distribution of population, providing urban services and applications should be spatially fair and well balanced. In the present study, the city of Marand with 12 types of services and urban uses has been examined. The objectives of this study are to investigate the distribution and use of services in various areas of Marand and ranking those areas according to the existing capita in these areas as well as the recognition of the balance of demographic balance in the urban areas as well as identifying the effect of distribution services on demographic imbalance in the area. In order to achieve the first objective VIKOR and SAW models and CopLand model were used. For achieving the second goal Spearman model was used. The results showed that the distribution of services is not manipulated well in Marand and the results of all three models Vikor, Saw, and Cap Land model showed that districts 1 and 3 had the first and second rank as far as access to services is concerned and the fifth district had the last rank. A comparison between the obtained results and those of Spearman shows that there is no significant relationship between the population and capita distributions.    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

Nowadays, achievement to comprehensive development in settlements is concerns for regional planners and moving toward sustainable development is final goal for them. Since that social justice is basic concepts of sustainable development so in regional planning process, identifying of existing situation and getting environmental abilities and potentials of regions is very important. It is so clear that thorough study of economic, social, cultural issues and better understanding of community needs are basic for balanced development in geographical areas. Multiple attribute decision making (MADM) techniques are one of the effective methods for identifying and evaluating many alternatives based on some criteria with different degrees of importance so this is a High performance technique in order to evaluation of regional development and classification. This method include some technique which we have used three of them simultaneously in this article. They are TOPSIS, ELECTRE and VIKOR. By analyzing the quantitative indices in six categories economic, demographic, educational, cultural-religious, health and infrastructure criteria we have determined levels of development among counties in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province. Using three techniques In addition to providing comparative study, we will have a high accuracy in regionalization. We can conclude the counties in this province are suited in various levels of development and those which are adjacent to Isfahan province are more developed. The order of developed counties is: Shahrekord, Lordegan, Borujen, Kiar, farsan, Kouhrang, Ardal. Manuscript profile

The present study, in a local settlements sustainable development framework, has a systematic and holistic overview of promoting women's participation in the development of economic and social activities in the Tarom area; It intends to identify factors affecting women's participation and the development of local settlements (urban and rural), and the degree of importance of each factor. In this descriptive- analytical research, views of 391 households in 24 settlements were randomly studied. Statistical analysis and qualitative study shows that family and individual abilities of women, and the capability of agricultural and non-agricultural beneficiary households have provided an effective participation of women in economic and social activities in the study area, rather than supportive and guidance policies of political system. Thus, technical training for women, giving official documents to obtain a license for establishing agricultural processing industries, self-employment loans, and paying attention to the role of women in rural-urban settlements development planning process are recommended.

Bazaar is one of the most important urban elements within the city. It has had several significant economic, social, political and cultural roles in history. So, this study examines the impact of this valuable urban element and its relationship with citizens’ attachment to place. To identify cultural values that are the appearance of historical-cultural heritage of our country; the effective steps can be taken by planning for regeneration and promotion of the functions of this collection in different social dimensions. Some main questions on this article are: 1) what are systematic principles of forming physical-spatial (architectural) elements in bazaar complex structure such as Tabriz bazaar? 2) What is the relationship between physical-spatial elements in Tabriz bazaar complex and citizens’ attachment to place? This study identifies these elements by exploratory factor analysis and investigates the relationship between them by confirmatory factor analysis. In this study, architectural systematic principles in Tabriz bazaar complex, geometry, hierarchy and symmetry are recognized for the first time as the factors influencing citizens’ attachment to place. Among the important findings of this study, the results of confirmatory factor analysis and Goodness-of-fit index resulting from measurement models are mentioned; the designed measurement models can be well fitted by the observed data, and the four mentioned dimensions are considered as exact indicators to measure the structure of attachment to place. This subject confirms the first hypothesis and confirmatory factor analysis conducted on physical elements also indicates a good reliability of the elements introduced in the measurement of physical- spatial variable.

Appropriate distribution of urban green spaces is very important to increase of spatial justice in the cities. City of Ardabil is among the cities that faced with the problem of the imbalance in the distribution of public parks and green spaces. The per capita public green space in the city of Ardabil is 7.30 square meters. This amount is lower than the green space standards of the United Nations Environment Program (20 to 25 square meters per person) and lowers than the standards of Iran’s urban green spaces (12 square meters). This study by using of 9 key indicators has ranked 44 neighborhoods of the Ardabil city in terms of access to the parks and public green spaces. Research data gathered from the Ardabil City Municipality Department of Parks and Green Spaces and in the next step, have been corrected by using of field study in the year 2016. Multi-criteria decision-making methods, including TOPSIS, VIKOR, SAW and COPLAND have been used for analyzing, ranking and integration of final results. The findings of this research show that in terms of public green space indicators, 14 neighborhoods of the city are developed, 15 neighborhoods are semi developed and 15 neighborhoods of the city are poor in access to the appropriate public green spaces. Finally, based on the findings, recommendations were presented. Manuscript profile

With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, the process of urbanization has increased in recent decades and has made urbanization a priority. Evidence suggests that in recent decades, cities have grown exponentially and urban areas have multiplied their initial reaches. Uncontrolled and uncontrolled expansion of cities has greatly damaged urban integrity Space and also the proper distribution of services. As a result, planners and policymakers around the world are working to identify and manage the city's urban development pattern by developing its sustainable urban development. During the four decades, the city of Malayer has been no exception to this massive urbanization incident. This research is a descriptive-analytical survey using Shannon and Hellendron entropy and density models, as well as using existing maps and aerial photographs and satellite imagery, to analyze how physical development of the city and the determination of the area And urban neighborhoods with the aim of organizing the physical model of development and development of the city of Malayer. Based on the results of the research findings, due to the expansion of the deep gap between the value of entropy due to the horizontal and spherical growth of the city during various decades, which is itself influenced by urban growth, the pattern of development of intrathecal focus is increased by increasing the density of the building and the pattern of expansion The continuous mining has been proposed as a future development model due to the physical constraints due to natural factors and the existence of agricultural land Manuscript profile

The main question of this article is that Planning and organizing political, security and economic space in the region of Makran what features and specifics should be which can be used as a model for all areas of the region, including Chabahar? The results of this article show that the region has an exceptional position in terms of communication status. The coastal strip of the Chabahar district is on the same side with the coastal strip of Hormozgan and the north of the Persian Gulf, and on the other side of Pakistan's coastal strip and Karachi. This area is coming by the Sea of Oman, the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal, to the Mediterranean Sea and Europe, by the Indian Ocean to Africa and the Nose of Hope (and also the Mediterranean) as well as the Atlantic and the Americas. Also on national security, strategic position of Chabahar ahat on the one hand is due to its location at the entrance to the Oman Sea and Persian Gulf and, on the other hand, having oriental estuaries as well as its harbor because of its proximity to the Indian subcontinent and its natural ability to play the role of covering the Gulf ports in terms of controlling the Strait of Hormuz and its nobility on the southern shores of the Oman Sea, have given Possibility of strict control over the military lines in the Indian Ocean and the Strait of Bab Al-Hamad to the area. Due to the political situation in the region also, the border province of Sistan and Baluchistan, in terms of its neighbors with both Pakistan and Afghanistan and also on the margin of free waters of the Oman Sea has enjoyed strategically and politically sensitive.

Design of architectural space, Specifically an academic space in this research, while congested without being aware of the coherent spatial structure and sometimes with the Breakdown, creates high density or abandonment of different parts of space. This paper examines the relationship between spatial structure and user movements in the central campus of Tehran University. For this purpose, the campus ,with seven colleges, a mosque, a central library and other related buildings, was tested that was used to analyze the spatial structure of the "space syntax" method. The method of doing this research is simulation using the Depth map software. A case study ,which is valuable in terms of architecture and scientific and cultural values, was also used to conduct the research. In this analysis, four factors in social, Physical and behavioral subgroups has been investigated Which is ultimately compared to the natural motion factor. The results have been analyzed and the tables for this simulation are extracted and discussed. results show a strong and direct meaningful relationship exists between the value of the integration of space derived from the space syntax analysis and the motor behaviors of users. Therefore, one of the important reasons for users' congestion in some places, as well as being abandoned in some other places, is due to the physical structure of the site. Based on the results, changes can be made to user mobility Considering the proposed architecture in the campus of university. This research also focuses on the methodology for analyzing and evaluating space syntax on a case study. Manuscript profile
