The aim of this research paper was to determine the role of urban space design on citiescompetitiveness in the process of globalization. In the era of globalization and with the rush of investors to findattractive places for investment, cities are becoming the focal points for investors and the urban managers, who needto present a variety of attractions to draw financial capital and be able to compete with other cities. But, it seems thesedays, capital and time is wasted due to the lack of coherent theoretical foundations regarding the role of urban designprofessionals in making cities and urban spaces more attractive. This study explains and discusses the role of urbandesign in the process of making cities attractive in order to compete, by using a descriptive approach and by studyingand reviewing relevant scientific resources and researches. The outcome of this study shows that today the relationshipbetween urban design and urban economic conditions are reversed, and this phenomenon, based on the aims that havebeen mentioned in this article, has created a new model of urban space management in order to attract investors anddevelop urban growth. پرونده مقاله

The facade of the buildings as a part of the urban landscape is considered one of the main elements of the urban bodies, which is first exposed to the view and judgment of the observers. Today, the lack or absence of analytical information about the facade and its components and elements and the importance and impact on the audience has led to the design and production of undesirable facades and visual disorder in cities. The aim of the study to know the elements and components of the facade of the building and the degree of impact on the visual perception of the audience, and seeks to answer the question that according to the audience's point of view, in what order is the priority and importance of elements and components in the facade structure and design? The present research has been carried out using a descriptive-analytical approach based on documentary-library studies, The structure of the facades of the building was identified using the existing theories, and then the key components were extracted by the frequency method and given to a group of architects and experts in the form of a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. Statistical analysis (factor analysis) of the data collected from 100 questionnaires indicated that in four main categories, elements, components, and aesthetic pillars of the facade, respectively, the middle part, inputs, texture of materials and aesthetic principles of the facade are important from the audience's point of view. پرونده مقاله

One of the characteristics of complex systems is their emergence. Samen district, as part of the central area of Mashhad, has been affected by the various urban development plans. The purpose of the current research is to identify the evolution of the effects of the renovation and improvement plans of Samen district, focusing on the role of the emergence of space in the occurrence of theft crimes. In this regard, by using the comparative-historical method, the evolution of the area has been investigated in recent years, and the effect of the layout of the area on committing theft in two time periods before and after the plans has been investigated. Documentary- and library-based studies are considered as the most important data collection tools in the current research. The data of geographic information system was used to measure the emergence of theft, and the data taken from Khorasan Razavi Police Office was used to check the amount of theft. For data analysis, depth map and Arcpro software have been used. The results of the research show an increase in integration in the new area, so that the permeability of the whole district has increased. This increase in integration has caused the distribution of thefts to be extended into neighborhoods, while in the old area, theft crimes mainly occurred in the main streets. Therefore, it can be stated that the changes that have occurred in the area have caused the appearance of "Inviting rather than Uninviting"characteristics. پرونده مقاله

In recent years, the physical form of Mashhad, as the second metropolis of the country, has been affected by macro economic indicators. In order to resist the impulses and pressure of the upcoming economic trends, it is necessary to measure the dimensions and the effect of the mentioned economic forces on the physical form of Mashhad in the past. Therefore The question of the current research is "What is the role of economic trends in the formation of the physical form of Mashhad ?".The approach of the current research is quantitative and a longitudinal survey research method has been used. In order to analyze the trend of economic indicators, the vector auto regression model has been used to measure the effects of variables on each other.Also Landsat satellite images have also been used to analyze the changes in the physical form of Mashhad city.The results of the research show that in recent years, the country's economic developments have led to an increase in the price of currency. This, along with other economic indicators, has caused inflation in the price of land, housing, and rent, and has prompted the city managers to reduce the inflation in land and housing by allowing the growth of Mashhad. The directions of development in the early years were generally in the north and east of the city, but in recent years, the city has expanded to the west and south. The results of the research show that the variables of exchange rate, Gini coefficient and unemployment rate have more stable effects than other economic variables on the physical form of Mashhad city in such a way that whenever one of these three variables is associated with a strong fluctuation, the physical form of Mashhad city is also affected. پرونده مقاله

The urban informal development is undeniable reality of a great number of cities across the world. Hence, many urbanism studies have been devoted to this topic. These scholarships have used various theoretical frameworks to explain this phenomenon. However, no comprehensive theoretical base is available for the subject yet. Therefore, this study aims to formulate an alternative theoretical foundation relying on contextualist worldview capacities. The research has been conducted with descriptive-analytical methodology through the review of contextualist literature. The results of the study in the first step answer the questions about the origin, philosophical background, evolution process, approaches, and dimensions of contextualism. In the next step, the research developed a new reading of contextualism to be a suitable theoretical framework for informal urbanism studies. This reading explains informal urbanism relying on multiple ontologies, pragmatic and plural epistemology, mixed methodology, and inclusive-flexible analytical framework. In the theoretical dimension, the results have revealed the reductionism of the view promoting contextualism in urbanism, so have reformulated and customized it to explain informal development. In the scientific dimension, moreover, it proposed the reading of suitable policymaking for urban managers regarding the informal settlements. Such a platform is based on accepting contextual (local) realities and avoiding the mostly negative metanarratives. پرونده مقاله

This paper aims to present a conceptual model for analyzing the factors affecting the participation ofchildren in urban planning. One of the effective ways to implement urban development projects is toincrease citizens’ participation in the preparation and implementation of such schemes. Due to the age andawareness of children from the city, their participation is associated with a particular sensibility in the city.Therefore, the accompaniment of children in urban affairs requires a comprehensive and holistic view.Although urban planning research has emphasized the need for the participation of all segments of society,including children, so far, but few has comprehensively provided a conceptual framework for theparticipation of children in urban planning. The participation of children is influenced by many factors;however, most research has focused on limited aspects. This paper discusses the history of children'sparticipation in the widespread expression of theorists in this field. The methodology is based ondocumentary research methodology, which mainly contains information and results provided by previousauthors and researchers in the respective filed discussed. Documentary research method has beenconsidered as a comprehensive and technical way to strengthen other qualitative methods. Finally, theconceptual model is presented. The proposed model covers the field of software including rules andeducation, and hardware domain, including planning institutions and urban management institutions. پرونده مقاله
