        In recent years, all governments have adopted policies such as granting credits and low-interest loans to improve the quality of rural housing. A policy that has changed the heart of villages and housing patterns. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of housing credits and loans in rural areas of Masal city (Shalma, Markieh and Darkhaneh villages) in two dimensions of housing pattern and village identity. In this regard, descriptive-analytical research method with emphasis on qualitative-quantitative approach has been used to collect information from field method (observation, interview and questioning). The statistical population of the study also includes the housing estates of the studied villages, that the sample size is estimated to be 383 houses based on Cochran's method. The research findings show that the main impact of crediting and debt consolidation loans is to improve the strength of new and renovated housing compared to older housing. Other effects of these facilities include a reduction in biological activity in the residential unit, a decrease in the level of infrastructure, a reduction in the number of rooms, and a change in the type of plan and housing structures. On the other hand, the results indicate a decrease in the identity of the villages in terms of spatial affiliation as well as a decrease in cultural values and adaptation to the old and traditional pattern in the new designs of residential units.

        Equity-based planning should move away from techno-logical approaches and move toward multi-stakeholder policies, giving power to local management.From this perspective, the point of shared planning and social justice is distributive justice.The basis for a fair distribution of services is the two criteria of accessibility and the spatial distribution of services.Recognizing the differences between different regions and regions in order to provide appropriate plans for aligning and reducing regional inequalities is the first step in spatial planning.The purpose of this research is to study the level of rural areas in the central part of Urmia city from the inputs and facilities and comparing villages in terms of utilizing facilities and services. Finally, due to the different geographic conditions of the region, the results were combined with the Kaplend model and the final level of acceptance was accepted, which indicates the difference in the level of rural districts and the lack of distributive justice among them.

        Urban sprawl, is the encroachment of urban land uses on non-urban land, which in recent years has become one of the challenges of planning the spatial development of cities around the world. The purpose of this study is to identify and measure the dimensions and urban sprawl reflections of urban surface in Rasht. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical. In order to measure and study the urban sprawl, first land use maps were created by using Landsat satellite images in four classes (urban and built areas, water and paddy areas, forests and agricultural lands as well as gardens) .They, also, used spatial metrics (Class Area, Number of Patch, Patch Density, Total Edge, Edge Density, Mean Shape Index, Area Weighted Mean Shape Index, Euclidean Nearest-Neighbor Distance, Proximity Index, Aggregation Index) in two levels of class and landscape to calculate the Rasht city Urban sprawl surface via FRAGSTATS software. The results of the research show that urban areas have grown increasingly and several urban plots have emerged. Along with this growth, agricultural land and paddy fields have lost their spatial cohesion and integrity and have turned into considerable number of plots. The coefficient of 103% increase in urban class over a period of 26 years (1993-2019) indicates the rapid change of spatial dynamics of the city into physical dispersion, which, in turn, is generally associated with land use change, land cover change and destruction of natural and terrestrial resources outside and around the city.

        Citizens' emotional and cognitive perceptions lead to a general perception of citizenship rights. Our focus in this research is to study the factors that affect, and are related to gender. Gender was considered as a determining factor in the perception of urban spaces to examine the possibility of gender differences in the enjoyment of the right to the city. The population of this study is 390 citizens of Qazvin city that were selected by proportional stratified-sampling, and by combining inappropriate cluster sampling and proportional classification. The data analysis was done by R, using two-way logistic regression and ordinal regression, and the results show that gender plays an important role in citizens' perception of the right to their city. A male citizen of Qazvin is about 30 percent more likely than a female citizen of Qazvin to have a sense of entitlement to the city. Among the analyzed factors, physical convenience had the highest gender gap in terms of citizen satisfaction, which can be largely prevented by increasing the determinant components in cities, and It also increased satisfaction with the right to the city. Furthermore, the dimension of physical comfort was the most differentiated between men and women in terms of satisfaction, indicating that Qazvin, does not provide as much security for women as men.

        Introduction :One of the main problems of spatial development, especially in less developed complaints, is the rupture of the space organization due to the relationship between the interactions between settlements. The space organization of Zebarkhan district of Neyshabour is no exception to this rule. Efforts to address the space police force of settlements can pave the way for the development of development programs at various levels. In this regard, recognizing your relationships and your abilities in rural schools and setting up the correct way to use these abilities is one of the first and basic steps that must be taken firmly.Goal of the research: The present study analyzes and evaluates the space organization of Zebrakhan village and the changes that occurred in it during a period of 23 years (1375-98).Research Methodology: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of methodology. The method of data collection was library and field. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, with a spatial approach and with a scientific method to explain the changes and developments that have occurred during the past 23 years in the space organization of the rural area of Zebarkhan, Neyshabour city. The statistical population of the study includes 29 urban and rural settlements located in Zebarkhan sub-district of Neyshabour city.Geographical area of research:The geographical area of the research is Zebarkhan village of Neyshabour city. Zebarkhan section consists of three villages that Zebarkhan village is known as the most populous village.Results and discussion: The findings showed that the lack of proper distribution of services and lack of spatial balance has led to increased mobility and movement between human settlements in the countryside. Therefore, the three settlements of Ghadamagah, Baghshan and Darroud with the first to third ranks have become the main places of intra-district traffic.Conclusion:The results of flow analysis indicate that the flow pattern is one-way relationships and no complementary, two-way and synergistic bonds are formed. This model is in line with the theory of the growth pole with the sovereignty of cities and is still far from the regional network model. In general, it can be said that the space organization of Zebarkhan village lacks a spatial balance that by creating a balance in the distribution of facilities and services, balanced and sustainable development and optimal space organization can be achieved.

        Today Over the past few decades, the growth of urban societies and population growth have led to the spread of distorted cities into separate regions with its original texture and its development towards agricultural land and its surroundings. This unplanned development leads to land use changes in the periphery of the city. In the past few decades, the city of Qorveh has encountered with the development of urban and peri-urban settlements, which caused changes in the land use of the city of Qorveh and its surrounding areas. Analysis of land use change in Qorveh city can be effective in planning for future development of the city. Therefore, to attempted to estimate and determine land use change trends, Landsat satellite images with TM, ETM and OLI sensors were used for the three time periods of 1986, 2000 and 2018. These images were categorized, validated and detected by the Neural Network method to five floors; urban lands, arable lands, dry lands, water zones and Bayer lands. Finally, Markov Autoclave was used to calculate land use changes in Qorveh city for 2031. The results indicate that, continued land use change would result in the degradation of agricultural land use. Manuscript profile

        Urban land use and its location has always been an interesting topic for urban planners. As experts have tried to focus on the context and surroundings proximity, neighborhood, compatibility and incompatibilities, utility and other factors. By the expansion of geographical information systems, it is possible to focus on these factors and their impact on the planning process for land use allocation. At the same time, many scientific efforts have been made to integrate these systems and multi-criteria decision-making methods in order to enhance their ability to support decision making. Methods used in this field have also been widely used in various studies; one of the most important applications of these methods in urban planning is to determine the suitability of each parcel for allocating urban land uses. In this article which is applied in terms of purpose and is descriptive analytical in terms of method, the land-use suitability analysis as a scientific technique along with linear combination, and Delphi methods, have been used. Findings, which have been obtained from overlaying analytical maps (land prices, access to communication axes, number of blocks of land and air pollution's maps), indicate that what type of land use is more suitable for each parcel. The results of this paper are presented in the form of land use allocation scenarios. Comparison of the results of modeling with current situation shows that out of 2,166 parcels in the study area, 521 have no suitable uses and need change. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the socio-economic consequences of nomad’s settlement in the Godarpee Site of Kermanshah township. The present study in terms of the purpose is an applied research that performed by using a descriptive correlational method. The statistical population of this research was the households located in this site (N=60) that due to the few number of statistical population, all of them were studied by census method. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire that its content validity confirmed by panel of experts and for reliability of questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used (α= 0.72). Data analysis was implemented by using descriptive and inferential statistics with using SPSS software. Findings of means compare test showed that there was not significant difference between income, employment and animal husbandry of nomads in conditions of before and after of the settlement. But in the case of agriculture, forest and range lands there was significant difference at the %99 level. Also about social indicators such as literacy, cultural status, access to welfare facilities, security, age of marriage and environmental and individual health, there was significant difference at the %99 level in conditions of before and after the settlement and these indicators had a positive growth compared to the previous settlement.

        Providing housing for low-income groups is one of the problems for governments. Low-income households spend much of their annual income on housing, so it is imperative for every government to provide housing for the welfare of society. The importance of social housing is due to the provision of adequate housing for the lower deciles and the adjustment of its important challenges due to limited energy resources and increased demand. The building sector is one of the largest energy consumers in the world, especially in Iran. Proper housing design avoids energy waste. Therefore, social housing design with the approach of optimal energy consumption as macroeconomic and social policy is considered in this study. If Iran continues the same process in energy production, transmission, distribution and consumption, it will pose a serious threat to the economy. The overall goals include reducing the share of housing in the living cost basket and optimizing energy use in social housing. The research method is analytical, field and simulation of the proposed model in Tehran, while maintaining affordable prices, respond to the housing demand by optimizing energy consumption. Initially, social housing was designed in accordance with design standards and based on cost, optimization of energy-efficient parameters such as form, orientation, neighborhood, details of building components, etc. and finally it was shown that the proposed scheme was more desirable than the existing one. The obtained results are providing solutions with economic justification of social housing plan by optimizing energy consumption. Manuscript profile
