Introduction & Objective: Pedestrain road is a tool for collective activity especially regarding urban economy, environmental quality and social health. In this regard, one of the measures taken over the past several years to restore the components and functions of pedestrians to efficient circuits in most countries of the world is regeneration. Regeneration is a set of artistic and tactful actions in order to return urban functions and spaces at various levels. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the status of footpath in Tehran, region 12with an urban regeneration. Method: This study is a descriptive-analytic one in terms of purpose. SPSS software and TOPSIS method are chosen for analyzing information.The Cronbach's alpha coefficient is used to determine the reliability of the questionnaire; Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.858. Results: On the one hand the results of one-sample T-test show among the recreation (regeneration)dimensions based on the data from the questionnaire, the economic dimension in favorable condition and the environmental dimension got the lowest score among recreation dimensions from the viewpoint of the citizens of region 12.On the other hand,according to the TOPSIS model, the pedestrian paths of Khordad 15, Bob Homayoun, Naser Khosrow were on suitable condition;furthermore,the pedestrian queues, Sourasrafil, Davar were roughly successful whereas 17 shahrivar pedestrian was unsuccessful because the use of areas surrounding this pedestrian was inactive and moreover, for social security a road was built for the use of vehicles from Shohada square to Safa street;as a result,this pedestrian was turned to be useless. Conclusion: The implementation of the road construction in region 12 in Tehran is completely physical and economically oriented and does not have holistic and community-based attitudes. In this regard, a new approach, called urban regeneration, should be with workable solutions to solve current instabilities.   Manuscript profile

The purpose of this study is to assess the vulnerability of Tabriz metropolitan zone 8 in earthquake threat. Method: First, the most important studies conducted on futures studies and urban planning and design with regard to natural disasters and special studies in Tabriz were reviewed. Then the components and dimensions of urban vulnerability are prepared and then using the view of experts with Delphi method and also comparative studies, dimensions and final components are prepared and by analyzing questionnaires and conducting necessary studies and calculations the vulnerability of Tabriz metropolis in dimensions And various components were evaluated. Finally, while evaluating the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities, the future strategies of Tabriz metropolitan area 8 were presented by swot method. Findings: Considering that the results of research suggest the exploitation and promotion of strengths and the optimal and maximum use of opportunities, so with this strategy, the current situation of the study area is acceptable, but we should not ignore the weaknesses and threats and Crisis and time management limited the occurrence of earthquakes. Rather, it expresses the need for optimal and optimal long-term research and planning. Conclusion: This study focuses on attracting and making optimal use of dynamic economy and appropriate employment, as well as investors in the field of tourism in the historical context, as well as benefiting from traditional religious, cultural and ideological identity in attracting stakeholders in the region to strengthen health and residential infrastructure. - Emphasizes welfare, resilience, education and culture in order to reduce vulnerability and improve the resilience of the region during an earthquake.   Manuscript profile

Introduction and objects:The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of urban engineering system in controlling the physical development of Tehran. Physical development is controlled in a regular and organized manner when the criteria and framework for controlling urban development are specified and urbanism engineers are members of the Engineering System Organization as knowledgeable individuals, with the help of the power given to them by the Engineering System Organization, apply them in the city. Method: Research based on purpose, has an application and in terms of nature, has a survey method. In collecting data, the documentary and field methods were used. To compile and confirm the research indicators, the Delphi method was used in three stages of surveys of ten urbanism elders. One-sample t-test, Pearson correlation, multivariate recursion, heuristic factor analysis, Friedman ranking were used to analyze the data and Kolomogorov-Smirinov test was used to evaluate the normality of the data. The statistical population of the study includes 35 urban engineers with employment licenses, members of the Engineering System Organization of Tehran Province. The research indicators were measured by Likert spectrum with an average of 3 components and 26 components and 26 indicators. These components include comprehensive urban plan, passive defense considerations, justification plan to increase urban boundaries, justification plan outside urban boundaries, preparation of urban detail plan, urban adaptation of buildings, land separation plan and adaptation of urban land use. Findings: According to views of experts, the average of all indicators is 4.01, which is higher than the assumed average (3). Using Pearson test, the highest Pearson link is between the control of physical development in Tehran and the criteria of land separation plan (r=0.787). The amount of variance explained by the control of urban physical development by the components of the forecast variable (0.43) is significant. Conclusion: The results show that 43% of the control of urban physical development is affected by these variables (comprehensive urban plan, passive defense considerations, justification plan to increase urban boundaries, justification plan outside urban boundaries, preparation of urban detail plan, urban adaptation of buildings, land separation plan and adaptation of urban land use. ), which show a high degree of appropriateness and desirability and has the necessary explanatory and predictive power in the subject of research.    Manuscript profile
