In Iran, improvement plans for valuable rural fabrics have been prepared and implemented by the Islamic Revolution Housing Foundation since 2000 with significant financial investment. Although these plans have led to transformations in valuable rural fabrics, they face challenges, like all other plans, that impede the effective realization of their objectives. Accordingly, the present study aims to identify the challenges of improvement plans for valuable rural fabrics. The research method is developmental in terms of purpose and analytical in terms of nature and research method. Given that the improvement plan for valuable rural fabrics in Khorasan Razavi Province has only been implemented in six villages—Kahak, Jazin, Riab, Azghad, Kong, and Dizbad—this study examines all these villages. In this study, 168 local residents and 17 rural experts participated in completing questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using exploratory factor analysis and a one-sample t-test in SPSS software. The results indicated that the most significant challenges in the implementation of improvement plans for valuable rural fabrics are 8 challenges accounting for 64% of the variance. Furthermore, the most important challenges in the preparation of the plan include 5 challenges with 57.1% of the variance. Overall, the common and critical challenge in both the preparation and implementation phases of improvement plans for valuable rural fabrics is the "lack of comprehensiveness in the fabric's scope," which alone accounts for 18.7% of the variance in the preparation phase and 12.7% in the implementation phase. Clearly, understanding the challenges of the plan enables higher-level planning managers to achieve more effective and beneficial formulation and planning by identifying and addressing the plan's weaknesses; a matter that has received less attention from managers despite the emphasis of various studies on its reform and revision.

One of the most important plans of the government to organize the country's villages in the last two decades has been the rural conducting plan. It seems necessary to evaluate the consequences of the implementation of these plans in different dimensions in order to know the results and also to identify their strengths and weaknesses. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and analyze the level of satisfaction of villagers with the economic, social and physical performance of the implementation of the rural conducting plans in Divshal rural district. The research is descriptive and survey type. The statistical population of the study was 2671 rural households and the sample size according to Cochran's formula was 336. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient test, regression test and path analysis using Amos software. According to the research findings, the correlation coefficient was 0.708, according to which there is a direct and positive relationship between the implementation of the rural conducting plans and the realization of villagers' satisfaction with the rural environment. Based on the adjustment coefficient (0.63), more than 63% of the satisfaction indicators can be explained. The results of one-sample t-test showed that the performance of the rural conducting plans in different dimensions was higher than the theoretical median of the research objectives. According to the results of route analysis, the highest impact belongs to the variables of housing and environment and the least impact belongs to the variables of participation and employment in the non-agricultural sector. As a result, the physical dimension of the project implementation had the most and the social dimension had the least impact on the level of villagers' satisfaction with the implementation of the rural conducting plans.

Due to human activities, the face of the earth is always changing. For the optimal management of natural areas, it is necessary to know the trend and amount of changes in vegetation/land use. Estimating these changes is very important. The purpose of the present research is to monitor land cover changes using satellite images in the Gorganrood watershed in Golestan province. The images of TM sensor in 1987, ETM+ sensor in 2000 and OLI sensor in 2019 were processed and analyzed. After performing geometric and atmospheric corrections, monitoring and classification of images using six change monitoring techniques in Gorganrood basin with an area of 8020 square kilometers were analyzed and the changes occurred in this basin in two time periods, from 1987 to 2000 and 2000 to 2019 was investigated. Change monitoring techniques include red band difference, infrared band difference, PCA difference and standardized PCA difference, change vector analysis and comparison after classification. Statistical methods have been used to determine the threshold. After determining the change threshold, the areas with decreasing, increasing and unaffected changes have been identified. In order to evaluate the accuracy of change monitoring techniques, after the ground impressions obtained through field visits, Google Earth satellite images and aerial photos, the manufacturer's accuracy, the user's accuracy, the total accuracy and the Kappa coefficient were used. The results showed that the standardized PCA1 method had the highest total accuracy and kappa coefficient in both periods. The values of these two parameters are equal to 96.5% and 94% for the first period and 91.5% and 86% for the second period respectively. PCA1 method with overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient equal to 84.5% and 74% for the first period and 89% and 82% for the second period after standardized PCA1 method has the highest level of accuracy among other methods. On the other hand, the near-infrared band difference method had the lowest total accuracy and kappa coefficient in both periods compared to other methods. The results also show that between 1987 and 2019, agricultural lands (rainfed) had the most positive changes. The extension of these lands has mostly been at the price of loss of pastures (due to higher fertility). In the space of 32 years, pastures have also undergone changes and transformations, and the decreasing changes in them can be attributed to the plowing of pastures and their allocation to agriculture.

Like living organisms, the regeneration of cities is done through the renewal of worn-out cells and tissues. Sometimes the process of wear and tear is faster than the process of renewal, which causes the accumulation of wear and tear to reach a critical stage and makes it necessary to accelerate the renewal of worn tissues. What is important is the level of people's participation in improving and renovating worn-out structures. The current research is of a qualitative type and the method of conducting it is a systematic literature review using a meta-composite approach to analyze data extracted from selected sources. Finally, in the systematic review process, 28 sources were selected and used for qualitative analysis and coding. For this purpose, reliable documents accessible in search systems such as Google, NOormagz, Magiran Elm-Net and SID were referred to in the time period of 2010 to 2014. Then, by collecting and categorizing the counted codes, 15 dimensions and 67 indicators were extracted. The codes include physical, social, environmental, managerial, psychological, service, infrastructural dimensions, partial participation, how people are involved, the level of learning of executive and functional levels, the motivation that creates it, the quality of people's cooperation, the executive realm and the subject. The results of the research show that the low value of land and housing with frequency (27) and non-standard buildings with frequency (23) are indicators that have played great importance in various researches. On the other hand, informing, endogenous and exogenous motivation, the quality of imposed and forced cooperation, etc. are some of the less important indicators in this field. The most important aspects of the innovation of this research are the multi-level and systematic look at people's participation in the improvement and renovation of the worn-out urban fabric and also the identification of the main elements of this issue.

The significant increase in urbanization along with excessive population density and activity in cities and its growing trend in terms of functional and physical diversity has increased the importance of the issue of urban vulnerability against natural hazards such as floods. Using 54 key indicators in the framework of the MOVE model, this research has determined the level of social-physical vulnerability in the areas of Tehran. Then the results are spatially analyzed and the degree of vulnerability of each dimension as well as the final index has been determined. MOVE and GWR models have been used in this research. The results showed that in the final index, the southwest and northeast neighborhoods of Tehran had the most unfavorable conditions, and on the contrary, the central areas of Tehran had the most suitable conditions. Regions 18, 19, 20 and 4 had the most neighborhoods with medium to very high vulnerability status. Also, the neighborhoods located in regions 8, 6, 10 and 7 had the best conditions, respectively. Also, the results of the geographically weighted regression model showed that the sub-indicator of exposure had the most impact, and the sub-indicators of lack of resilience and susceptibility were placed in the next ranks, respectively. In the meantime, according to the R2 coefficient that is close to the average in total for all sub-indices, it can be said that the final index obtained had a great impact on the high vulnerability of the residents of the studied neighborhoods.

Human and natural factors are effective in the distribution of cities and urbanization. In Iran, the role of the human factor is greater, and this has been due to the implementation of development policies and programs. This factor has led to regional inequality and geographical imbalances, including on the north and south coasts which is well reflected in the distribution pattern of cities. In the present article, we try to compare the distribution patterns of cities on the north and south coasts, which have a common feature, being adjacent to the sea. So, the question is what is the pattern of spatial distribution of cities on the north and south coasts of the country? The research method is descriptive-inferential and using the model of the nearest neighborhood and Moran coefficient, the location of the studied cities have been compared with each other. The results show that the spatial distribution of cities in the northern coastal basin is more concentrated than the spatial distribution of cities in the southern coastal basin except Khuzestan plain. Northern cities have favorable natural conditions, traction poles, transit routes, and anti-deprivation policies, and therefore they are more spatially correlated with each other. The spatial distribution of cities in the southern coastal basin is clustered in the western part and the spatial auto-correlation is positive, but to the east, the density of cities and their spatial cohesion is reduced. For this reason, the density and spatial cohesion of cities on the east of the southern coast is minimized.

Achieving environmental quality criteria is not possible without considering the pattern of physical development. The quality of the place is one of the effective causes in the occurrence of various diseases, however, regarding specific diseases such as cancer, the studies conducted are in the first steps. The present study tries to measure the spatial patterns of cancer deaths in Mashhad and show that 1) What is the pattern of deaths? And 2) to what extent is it related to the quality characteristics of the environment? The study is descriptive-analytical and the study variables include 1) characteristics related to the deceased and 2) characteristics related to the quality of the environment (including air pollution and green space per capita). For this purpose, after developing a conceptual research model, by receiving information related to the deceased and the quality of the environment, a spatial database was created in the ArcGIS software environment. In the next step, using classical statistical models (correlation and t-test) and spatial statistics (spatial autocorrelation, orientation and spatial regression) data were analyzed. The results showed that the spatial pattern of the deceased did not follow the pattern of population distribution and the difference in the spatial pattern of the deceased according to gender and their average age at the neighborhood level. The use of spatial autocorrelation models showed two hot cores in the north and southwest of Mashhad and a cold core around the holy shrine. Which shows the need to pay attention to spatial differences. The results of correlation and spatial regression test indicated that the frequency of deaths in the neighborhoods is related to the average level of air pollution and green space per capita. However, the need for further studies at various intervals is suggested to confirm the findings.

Cities are experiencing unprecedented growth, creating major challenges for national and local policymakers in terms of the quality of the urban living environment. These challenges are particularly critical for urban planners and decision-makers. This study addresses the question of the current status of urban living environment quality in the districts of Mashhad metropolis. Using a descriptive–analytical approach combined with field surveys and expert questionnaires, the key components of urban quality of life were prioritized across three selected districts (and three neighborhoods within each district). Subsequently, the quality of urban life was assessed through a survey of Mashhad’s residents. The findings indicate that the quality-of-life indicators in the selected districts and neighborhoods, measured across six domains—physical, economic, transportation, social, institutional, and environmental (according to the study’s conceptual model)—are unevenly distributed. These spatial inequalities are reflected in unequal access to essential services such as housing, education, healthcare, transportation, and employment opportunities. As a result, the quality of life of residents, particularly in disadvantaged areas (such as District 5), is significantly affected. Overall, District 1 demonstrates a more favorable living environment compared to Districts 5 and 11. This disparity is also evident in the selected neighborhoods within each district.

The issue of the elderly and their related challenges has become a global concern due to the growing population of this age group, requiring greater attention. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on the lives of older adults. Therefore, creating a resilient environment can help prevent isolation and foster their active participation in society, particularly at the neighborhood level. This study aimed to examine the environmental conditions of the Jolfa neighborhood in Isfahan to strengthen the resilience of the elderly, especially in facing challenges arising from the pandemic. Using qualitative content analysis and semi-structured interviews with 23 elderly participants, the findings revealed that the living environment of the elderly has notable strengths at three scales: housing, neighborhood unit, and district. However, weaknesses and challenges also exist. At the housing scale, the elderly showed relative adaptability to the crisis and expressed positive evaluations of their living environment, indicating partial resilience. At the neighborhood unit scale, despite adequate access to services, the quality of the environment requires improvement. At the district level, the analysis indicated that environmental weaknesses and threats outweigh opportunities and strengths, reflecting reduced overall resilience. The findings highlight the need for effective interventions and strategies to improve conditions and enhance elderly resilience. Consequently, the modification and development of living spaces in the neighborhood, along with upgrading facilities and services, can positively influence the quality of life of the elderly and their ability to withstand crises. This study underscores the importance of improving the living environment of older adults to promote their health and well-being.

Improving the quality and living conditions of dysfunctional and inefficient urban tissues requires strategies appropriate to the condition and characteristics of each tissue. In the current research, the existing condition of the ineffective tissues of Neishabur city has been examined and compared from the physical aspect. These tissues have been studied in two separate categories, including middle tissue (historical) and marginal tissue. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The current situation has been analyzed and evaluated using the SWOT technique. Priority intervention strategies in context have been determined using experts' opinions. ACCEPT method and experts' opinions have been used to identify priority regeneration strategies. In the middle (historical) texture, seven strategies and in the marginal context four strategies have been determined as priorities. According to the desirability score, in the middle context, "activation of historical, cultural and religious resources and services of tourism in the context and around the existing elements", and in the marginal texture, "encouraging residents to document properties and units and providing facilities have been determined as the most important priorities of the physical dimension. The results show that the conditions of the dysfunctional tissues of Neishabur are different from each other in terms of the situation in the middle (and historical) and marginal tissues, and therefore it is necessary to adopt regeneration strategies that are appropriate to the conditions in each tissue.

The increasing growth and expansion of cities under the influence of population growth and migration, has led to unplanned construction and many changes in the spatial structure, especially the physical development of cities in unfavorable places that require basic guidance and organization. In the present descriptive-analytical research, using Fuzzy ANP method, the development and growth of Yazd city has been evaluated. Using weighted overlap method in GIS the analysis of the development pattern and guiding urban growth has been done. To analyze the effective factors in the development model of urban area, first 7 main criteria (including environmental, economic, demographic, land and housing market, spatial-physical, government plans and policies, and access to public services) with 32 sub-criteria were determined for Yazd urban area by examining the internal and external sources. Then questionnaires were completed by 20 officials of relevant organizations. Using the Fuzzy ANP model, the coefficient of importance of each indicator was obtained and the most important factor in the development pattern of urban areas was determined. The results show that spatial-physical criteria with 0.170, and population with 0.158 have the highest and economic criteria with 0.052 and government plans and policies with 0.035 have the least impact on the growth and development of Yazd. Because region one in the north of Yazd city has less worn-out texture and region 3 in the south lacks fertile agricultural lands, these regions can be suggested for the future expansion of the city.

Cities are growing and developing at a high speed, and the urbanization process is one of the most important issues facing urban planners. Along with the high level of population growth, land use change and its conversion to urban uses is also an important issue. The present study is an attempt to explain the spatial patterns of Kermanshah city in the last 25 years. The research is applied in nature and descriptive-analytical in terms of method and based on remote sensing data. First, the images of 1995-2005-2020 were obtained from Landsat 5 and 8 satellites in TM and OLI sensors. Then, using NVEI software and supervised classification method, the images were converted into land use maps in four classes: urban, agricultural, mountain and water. Then the maps were prepared using ARCGIS software to enter FRAGASTATS software and in the next step, they were entered to this software to analyze the landscape of the land. In the next step, these maps were analyzed using spatial metrics (PALAN-PD-NP-LSI-LPI-AWMFD-ENN-MN). In the last stage, by entering these metrics into the Shannon entropy model, a general overview of the spatial growth pattern of Kermanshah city in the last 25 years was obtained. The results of this research showed that the city of Kermanshah has experienced different growth patterns in the last 25 years. Patterns can be categorized into 3 periods. In the first period (year 1995), due to the rapid growth of urbanization and the inadequacy of urban planning patterns, the city experiences a period of scattered growth in isolated urban spots. In the second period (2005), due to the reduction of migrations and the development of the city within the limits of the existing spots, the city spends a period of compact pattern. But again, in the third period (2020), the city of Kermanshah has entered a period of dispersion pattern, which has approached the spatial pattern of a scattered city in all the metrics of the landscape.

Poverty is a universal, complex and multifaceted phenomenon. This phenomenon exists relatively in all societies. What poses poverty as a serious challenge to policymakers is the lack of access to basic living standards such as housing, food and clothing. The purpose of the present study is to identify the factors that lead to housing poverty and to measure the degree of poverty in rural areas of Dehgolan Township. This research is of applied type and its nature is descriptive-analytical. The method of data collection is both documentary and field and the questionnaire has been used as the main tool for collecting field data. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), SERVQUAL technique, IPA matrix and poverty census index (HI) were used to analyze the data. Based on the findings of factor analysis, 38 statements were identified and named in the form of 10 sub-criteria and 4 factors (physical and functional poverty, poverty of security and comfort, poverty of enjoyment and health, and supportive and legal poverty). These four factors explain 81.8% of the cumulative variance of the factors contributing to rural housing poverty. The results show that although the quality of new rural housing in various dimensions is relatively favorable and rural housing poverty is reduced in various dimensions, but there are differences between the expected average and perceived quality. This has led to a kind of weakness, especially in the physical and economic dimensions, and the main reason is the change in the functional spaces of the native houses and the low payment facilities.

The issue of rural housing is an institutional-structural process and is very sensitive and important. Success of the issue necessarily depends on the participation and interaction of all stakeholders, which includes three groups of attendees, observers and officials. The present study seeks to explain and analyze the role of rural development actors in organizing rural housing in Zanjan Township with a descriptive-analytical method. Data collection was done by two methods: field and documentary. The statistical population includes 13 sample villages in Zanjan Township with a population of 14075 people, of which 374 persons were selected as a sample according to Cochran's formula. For data analysis, factor analysis, structural equation model and multi-subject-multiplayer model were used with the help of SPSS, Lisrel and Mactor software. Findings showed that land price indices (0.665); ease of receiving infrastructure facilities (0.743); type of construction materials (0.764); and regarding the standard of facade design and layout (0.747) are among the most important factors of improving the quality of rural housing. Based on the structural equation model, actors had the most caus-effect relationships with the managerial index (5.01) and the physical index (4.82). Based on a multi-theme multi-player model, the activists of the Islamic Revolution Housing Foundation; Dehyari of the village and the inhabitants of the village "with the impetus of" residential strength; administrative costs and construction license; adherence to the standard of facade design and layout; house price; issuance of manufacturing license; resolving common housing disputes and ease of obtaining infrastructure facilities are the main factors in rural housing developments. Therefore, for the development of rural housing, some attempts need to be done, such as physical improvement; empowering the weak sections of the villages and facilitating the legal acquisition of land for the villagers.

The indiscriminate continuation of urbanization and the sprawl growth of cities has inevitably created the phenomena of creep, corrosion, annexation or integration. The annexation of large villages to the city is one of the policies of urban development that has been carried out in order to reduce numerous economic, social, physical and environmental problems. The application of the urban village model can create an effective role in preserving the environment and improving the quality of life in rural settlements and order and peace in urban settlements in the country by guiding and controlling new constructions compatible with the characteristics of the rural context. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. With Cochran's formula, the sample count is 385 people have been obtained. The sampling method in this research is simple random and the reliability of the questionnaire based on Cronbach's alpha is 0.850. The aim of the research is to identify and rank annexed zones in order to promote sustainability based on the urban village model. To analyze the data, the CODAS method has been used as one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. Based on the results of weighting, population criteria, building density, space design and walkability, environmental protection and cleanliness are weighted respectively (0.16), (0.12), (0.08), (0.8). 0, (0.06), the most important criteria among the 20 existing ones. The results of CODAS technique show that Mahdasht and Ahidasht neighborhood with (1/80) and (1/55) rank first and second, respectively, Baladeza and Balamaliek (1.40) third and fourth, Sharif Abad and Hevela with (1.38) and (0/419) fifth and sixth, Zoghalchal and Paeindeza with (-0/219) and (-0/921), ranked 7th and 8th, and finally, the neighborhoods of Pol Gardan and Qoroqh with (-1/83) and (-2/48) have taken the ninth and tenth place. Based on the obtained results, Mahdasht with the highest amount and Qarq with the lowest amount of sustainability in social, economic, physical and environmental indicators, respectively, were recognized as the most appropriate and the most inappropriate option among the extension areas of Sari city in line with the implementation of the urban village model.

Sustainable housing is the center of economic and social activities of rural households and a factor affecting their well-being. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the structural and functional stability of rural housing in Sarfirouzabad district, Kermanshah Township. Based on nature, the present study is applied-developmental, based on scope, it is case study, and based on method is descriptive-analytical. The reliability of the research (using Cronbach's alpha coefficient) is equal to 0.94 and the validity of the research was confirmed by the opinion of geographers. The statistical population of the study includes 527 households. The Cochran's formula was used to determine the sample size. Cochran's formula was used to determine the sample size, which resulted in the selection of 216 rural households. The sampling method was simple random. The results showed that six villages (66%) were recognized as sustainable villages in terms of housing sustainability, 1 village (11%) as semi-sustainable villages and 2 villages (22%) as unstable villages. Also, the item of durability of materials with a total effect of 0.317 was in the first priority, while the item of building strength with an overall effect of -0.153 had the lowest impact and is in the last priority.

One of the main policies of the country and one of the most important strategies of the government in recent years is the "Mehr Housing Project" with the aim of providing housing for different groups. The purpose of this study is "Comparative evaluation of residents' satisfaction with Mehr housing in Zahedan." The research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. In the process of collecting data and information, documentary and field methods have been used. The statistical population of the study is the residents of Mehr Shargh and Gharb housing complexes in Zahedan and includes 4950 heads of households. The sample size was estimated to be 562 heads of households based on Cochran's formula and SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The results of Pearson correlation analysis show that there is a significant relationship between age and monthly income and education with satisfaction with the residential complex. However, the results of t-test showed that the satisfaction of the residents of Mehr Zahedan housing complexes with a total average of 79 sub-criteria is lower than the average (2.41). Friedman test was used for the final ranking of indicators and the most important effect is the performance-structural index including accesses and facilities. SAWARA model was used to analyze the most effective indicators affecting the quality of housing according to experts. The most important content indicators are the presence of CCTV cameras and closer proximity to the shopping center. Finally, the results of independent t-test to compare the two residential complexes of Mehr showed that there is no significant difference in terms of satisfaction in Mehr housing in Zahedan.

High-rise construction is one of the approaches based on new theories of urban development and the maximum use of valuable urban land. This approach has been adopted by urban managers and policymakers to meet the growing needs of the growing urban population. Mashhad is the second largest metropolis after Tehran and has a special political-administrative function as well as pilgrimage-tourism. In this respect, it is very attractive for the attraction of the population and the tourist. Therefore, high-rise construction is pursued as a grand strategy aimed at spatial development, with minimal land use and urban land reuse in urban development plans and programs. Adaptation of high-rise residence to the social and religious context of Mashhad requires identifying the challenges and weaknesses of this strategy that the present study was designed to respond to. This research is by nature an applied research. The research is a survey and its type of analysis is descriptive-comparative. In order to apply the results of the research, the proposed guidelines for eliminating social and cultural damages of high-rise buildings in Mashhad have been presented in the form of integrated land management model and high-rise construction in Mashhad.

Up-to-date information on land use and land cover, especially in urban areas, and awareness of its changes and developments over a period of time is very important for planners and managers. The present study aims to monitor spatial changes in land use and land cover in the urban area of Babol and Amirkola in the period 1986 to 2020 and forecasting it for 2030. The present research is applied based on the purpose and descriptive-analytical based on the nature and method. Data are taken from Landsat 5 and 8 satellite images. The Fuzzy ARTMAP model was used to detect and classify images, the cross-tab and LCM models were used to analyze land use and land cover changes, and the CA-Markov model was used to predict land use and land cover in 2030 in the IDRISI TerrSet software environment. ArcGIS software was also used to draw the final maps. The results showed that the conversion of garden-use and irrigated agriculture into the built environment has a growing trend, so that these lands have increased from 11.3% in 1986 to 19.7% in 2020 and according to the forecast by 2030, built-up land will reach 22.2% of the total area. Also, the ratio of built-up to non-built land has increased from 12.8 percent in 1986 to 24.5 percent in 2020, and is projected to reach 28.6 percent in 2030, which shows the high rate of garden and agricultural lands destruction.

Locality is a feature that shows dependence on a place. The principles of attitude towards the place and location of any building are related to four characteristics, including figure and image, order, identity and memory, which originate from mental-internal and physical-external impressions. Emphasizing the phenomenological approach, the current research seeks to reread the principles of location in historical buildings and find the relationship between physical and perceptual factors with the attitude of place in buildings, which was carried out using a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) research method. The statistical population of the research includes 1- historical monuments and 2- experts, thinkers and specialists. The statistical sample of the first group includes two historical buildings in Tehran (Sahibqraniyeh Palace) and (Firdous Garden) and the second group includes 20 experts, thinkers and experts who are experienced and knowledgeable about the subject of the research. Analysis of documentary data and field observations has been done using SPSS software. The physical indicators obtained from the theoretical findings include "materials", "form and proportions", "color", "lighting" and "natural elements", which were prioritized based on a survey among the statistical community through AHP test and using Expert Choice software. The results of the measurement of the indicators studied in the two historical monuments of Sahibqraniyeh Palace and Ferdous Garden show that there is no significant relationship between any of these indicators, and among the physical indicators, the index of "natural elements (plants and water)" has the highest percentage of influence on the perception of the building. The results of this research show that the principle of identity through physical indicators in buildings such as form and proportions, lighting along with the principle of figure and image through physical indicators (materials, color and proportions) have caused audience perceptions of these buildings. Therefore, by restoring these two important principles, the placement of buildings can be improved.

Cities, as places of population concentration and increased environmental and social loads, need to reduce vulnerability to human-induced hazards. A city is not merely a collection of buildings, but a human, social, cultural, economic, and physical phenomenon. This research aims to evaluate the socio-spatial vulnerability of historical buildings in the historical fabric of Rasht and examines the potential consequences in the spaces surrounding these buildings. To assess human hazards, the Delphi technique and the ICCROM-CCI-RCE method were used. Exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression (predictive models) were employed to analyze the output data from Space Syntax software. Ultimately, the findings of the predictive models revealed destructive socio-spatial human behaviors around historical buildings. Two factors, movement flow and visual access, were identified as spatial vulnerability factors extracted from exploratory factor analysis, and seven categories of contextual human hazards were identified. Variables such as visual connectivity, pedestrian movement, vehicle movement, and pedestrian movement within the movement flow have significant factor loadings compared to visual access. In the visual access factor, variables such as vehicle movement and Isovist areas have acceptable factor loadings. The research results clearly showed that the social fabric must be fully considered alongside the spatial fabric. Their interaction is often overlooked during the assessment of vulnerable spaces and the prediction of human-fabric hazards in historical environments. Therefore, managers and officials must comprehensively examine the social context and how humans use space

Cemetery is one of the effective elements in arranging the spatial structure of human settlement and especially Iranian cities. The social-cultural development of cemeteries along with the increase of social interactions and presence of citizens will bring vitality to urban spaces. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The method of data collection is documentary and survey, and ArcGIS software and models such as cluster analysis (Group Analysis) and interpolation (IDW) were used for quantitative data analysis. In order to identify and verify the cultural areas of cemeteries, accessibility indicators such as Imam Reza shrine, typical tourist attractions, historical monuments, residential centers and other citizen facilities and services were used. The results showed that the shrine complexes of Imam Reza, Gonbad Kheshti, Gonbad Sabz and Khwaja Rabi as the first cultural area, Yasir and Nasser as the second cultural area, Khwaja Murad and Khwaja Abbasalt as the third cultural area and Miami as the fourth culture area can be identified. In order to increase the role of the cultural areas of cemeteries in the urban vitality of Mashhad metropolis, the indigenous model of the garden-cemetery to promote the Iranian identity in historical cemeteries and the planning of tourism facilities and equipment through the spatial-functional connection of cemeteries with the shrine of Imam Reza in socio-cultural development of urban cemeteries is effective.

Social interactions are a significant indicator of citizens' quality of life, health, well-being, and happiness, and their social satisfaction leads to life satisfaction. Currently, it is believed that the level of social interactions in cities has decreased in recent years, and this issue has negatively affected the physical and mental health of citizens. Therefore, urban planners and designers are compelled to provide solutions to improve this situation. On the other hand, the physical structure of cities acts as a platform for social activities and has a direct relationship with the social life of citizens. In line with the mentioned factors, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between the physical and spatial structure of the city and the level of social interactions among its residents. In this research, indicators have been used to evaluate the two main criteria: the physical structure of urban neighborhoods and social interactions. ArcGIS Pro software analyzes the physical structure of neighborhoods based on density, land-use mix, access to essential services, and access to public transportation stations. To measure the level of social interaction among residents, questionnaires were collected and analyzed using SPSS software, and finally, the relationship between these two criteria and their impact on each other was examined. The results of these analyses and the investigations conducted on the considered indicators show a positive correlation between social interactions and the indicators of density and access to public transportation, and no significant correlation with other indicators of the physical structure

In most Iranian cities, the existence of issues such as: ethnic segregation, neighborhood deterioration and decline, increased traffic, social and economic anomalies, inequality in access to opportunities and resources, and many other issues have exacerbated the identity crisis in cities and have confronted urban social life with serious challenges. Because environmental quality is directly related to people's thoughts and feelings about environmental, social, and economic conditions, as well as the level of individual satisfaction. Therefore, it is necessary to have perspectives that can study the phenomenon of the decline of urban social life and the issues and problems related to it in a comprehensive and comprehensive manner. One of these approaches to solving problems in urban spaces is the category of "vitality". For this purpose, the present study was used to analyze the role of the quality of urban spaces in Ilam in promoting vitality. This research is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive-analytical in nature and method. SPSS and structural equation technique in Smart PLS software were used to analyze data and information. The results showed that in the urban furniture index, beauty in the form and pattern of furniture design (with a coefficient of 0.970), in the index related to residential and commercial buildings, building facades in accordance with local culture (with a coefficient of 0.884), and in the index related to roads and sidewalks, road lighting factors (with a coefficient of 0.777) were selected as the most effective factors in the vitality of urban spaces in Ilam.

With the formation of the process of inequality of access to welfare considered by human societies, economic and social contexts and motives as well as factors of population displacement also emerge. Despite all the efforts made towards rural development in the form of various projects, the process of depopulation of villages continues. One of the important policies in the process of rural development of the country is to spend development credits to achieve the goals of rural development. The present study evaluates the impact of construction credits on rural population stability. This research is of practical type and has an analytical nature. The statistical population of this study is all villages with more than twenty households in Zanjan township by rural area (Dehestan). To evaluate the effects, construction credits were considered separately for construction sectors and rural areas. Then, using statistical and econometric and spatial analysis, the effects are evaluated. The duration of the study period is 21 years, which includes the latest available data, from 1991 to 2011. Dynamic panel model and Stata 14 software were used for data analysis. The results of the study show that the funds spent on rural development such as electricity, rural pilot projects, rural schools and health centers have a positive and significant effect on maintaining the rural population. But the effect of credits spent on water and gas resources in maintaining the rural population has not been significant.
