Today, the situation of urbanization and informal settlement in the world and its theories and experiences contain clear and useful points. While statistics indicate a growing urban population, especially in developing countries, poverty is seen as one of the most important aspects of population concentration in the cities of these countries. The main objective of the present study is to identify, in the first place, the indicators of empowerment of informal settlements with an emphasis on the concept of an asset-based approach as a new approach in contrast to the need-based approach and, secondly, to measure extractive indicators in order to understand the impact of each One of the satisfaction of inhabitants of these settlements is the living conditions and the role of each indicator in improving their living conditions. The study area of the study is the Interobhab district of Islamshahr, which in the year 1395 was about 24 thousand people. At the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008, about 45 thousand people lived in Mid Abad. The method used in the research is based on documentary, surveying and analytical combination. The results of the research indicate that the correlation in the residential building subsystem related to the capital capital index is higher than the rest, and then sub-index of monthly income The financial need index corresponds to the highest level of solidarity with the residents' satisfaction with informal settlements. After these two sub-indicators, we can say that the highest scores refer to sub-indicators of social capital index such as: accountability, trust, participation, institutional capacity.

The results of the research on the status of the neighborhood in terms of four social, physical, environmental and economic criteria indicate that the social standard with an average of 2/578 and a relative score of 0/263 are in the first place. But according to the Likert spectrum, the level of neighborhood sustainability is moderately low based on this indicator, which is the highest ranked indicator than the other indicators. It shows that the level of sustainability of the neighborhood is at a weak and very weak level. Manuscript profile

Urban resilience can be described as the ability of an urban area to resist against dangers such as climate change, accidents, economic and social poorness to resist against them, absorb and adapt them or to avoid them. The thought of resilience in complicated systems such as cities, enables the understanding of mobility and nonlinear relations in such systems. This thinking, in the modern urban zone, the ability to integrate human and ecologic factors in urban systems and understanding their interactions, enables the extension of sustainable strategies according to the identified attractions. Today, mostly cities and settlement societies are created or built in such places that in terms of natural disasters are in danger of various of them and or because of technological advances are in danger of human made accidents. The perspective that has been there in management of accidents and urban management, has been mostly conflicting and decreasing the dangers.

The neighborhood has a special place in Iranian cities and is one of the elements that plays a key role in shaping collective identities. However, the body shapes the city, but beyond it, it repeats the role played in the daily lives of the inhabitants and plays a role in long-term collective memory. They become elements of identity that change in these structures can make fundamental changes to the foundations of the identity of a city. However, today, the neighborhood is no longer of importance and credibility, but with respect to the remaining historical nuclei of the old neighborhoods, it continues to identity in some areas. Urban development plans such as renovation and renovation projects of textiles and worn out sites are among the most important designs and tools that can have a positive or negative impact on neighborhood structures and neighborhood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of urbanization and renovation projects on urbanization in district 10 of Tehran municipality. The present research is based on the applied objective and based on the descriptive-analytical method. The data gathering method was documentary and field study (in the form of a questionnaire, interview). Descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, ...) and inferential statistics (correlation, multivariate regression) were used to analyze the data using spss software as well as content analysis method. To this end, structural, physical, security, economic, and health indicators have been used for neighborhoodism. The results of this study indicate that, despite the fact that the implementation of urban regeneration and renovation projects in terms of structural and physical aspects has had dramatic results in the region, but the impact of these plans on the feeling of belonging to people The local area and local identity have been weak and sometimes caused the lack of trust and sense of belonging to the local community and the surrounding environment, making them unsuccessful in terms of social performance. Overall, evaluating urban drainage projects and projects has not been followed up with studies of its strategies and policies, and has not succeeded in strengthening the foundations of neighborhoodism, and it can even be said that the implementation of these plans has weakened the dimensions of neighborhood and neighborhood status in the social system. .

Throughout history, markets have played a major undeniable role in shaping the cultural, national and native identity in Iranian-Islamic cities, so that the urban life is closely associated with the market. However, given recent changes in market dynamics and the emergence of modern supersized malls, serious concerns are being raised about the impact of these spaces on local identities. That said, the main purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of construction and activity of large-scale shopping centers on the collective identity in general and neighborhood identity in particular. The authors’ primary assumption is that neighborhood (as a level of place identity) is a variable influenced by urban textures and is weakened by elements such as megamalls. Atlas Mall project (under construction) in the Niavaran district was chosen as a case study to investigate this hypothesis. A futurological approach was adopted in the research with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The current status of neighborhood identity was measured by a survey with a sample of 300 respondents who were the residents of three (immediate) surrounding neighborhoods. Referring to academic expertise, referring to informants and local experts, and also the studies on the impact of three operating shopping centers (Tirazheh, Arg and Kourosh) were used to predict the potential effects of Atlas Mall on the residents’ neighborhood identity. The findings show that the neighborhood identity in the three neighborhoods is strong (above average) and the impact of Atlas Mall on the residents’ identity is associated with (and under the influence of) six other key drivers: consumerism, the presense of foreign brands, modern architecture, traffic and transportation, crowdedness, and the price of real properties. It can be predicted that the impact of Atlas Mall on neighborhood identity will be gradual, so some planning and policy-making efforts can be done, before and after its inauguration, by urban managers or the project managers in order to reduce the impacts.

The layout and fabric of a city reflect the influence of beliefs and cultures of their inhabitants. Amongst Iranian ancient cities, the historical city of Yazd, thanks to its intact and less-affected old fabric, is an excellent arena for investigating such impact. According to the historical sources, Zoroastrians lived in nine (out of seventy seven) districts of Yazd in the Qajar era. Since Zoroastrians continue to live in these urban spaces to date, it has been tried in the present research to investigate the extent of influence of Zoroastrian’s religion on the formation of such spaces.This research, therefore, investigates the architectural elements with religious function in one of the main Zoroastrian districts in Yazd City, and the religious commandments that have influenced the formation of its space. To this end, a relatively well-preserved area i.e. the Dasturān district, is selected and its religious buildings were identified. The results of fieldworks combined with the findings of historical and religious texts, confirm that the religious spaces had a pivotal role in the formation of the fabric of Zoroastrian city.

mortmain has been existing for a long time in the field of urbanization. It is a multifaceted phenomenon with various physical, functional, social and economic dimensions. Identifying the effect of mortmain endowment on the building blocks of Iranian-Islamic cities, especially through a historical approach, will help to clarify this concept. With its unique historical neighborhoods, the city of Isfahan which was mainly developed in the Safavid era under the influence of the idea of the Islamic city and mortmain offers a perfect opportunity for innovative historical research. From among the numerous historical neighborhoods in Isfahan, the neighborhood of Aligholi Agha was selected as the case of the present study due to the survival of its mortmain deeds. The hypothesis of this research is the influence of mortmain on the shape of Aligholi Agha neighborhood. The research seeks to find an answer to the question of how tradition of mortmain has affected the structure and creation of traditional neighborhood spaces?. Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to analyze the spatial structure and physical elements of traditional neighborhoods from the perspective of mortmain tradition and based on the structuralism approach in Islamic city studies. Accordingly, in the process of traditional neighborhoods regeneration, a sustainable spatial organization can be achieved by relying on research findings. For this purpose, the research was conducted through a descriptive-analytical method, while reviewing the literature of the position of mortmain in Islamic thought and its impact on the structure of the Islamic city, and using library-documentary as well as field observations, historical documents and maps, and existing mortmain deeds. Our findings indicate that mortmain has been effective in the formation and further historical development of Aligholi Agha neighborhood centers in Isfahan and creating public buildings such as mosques, bath and other public buildings in this neighborhood. Also, due to the doctrinal and social dimensions of the mortmain tradition, the development and creation of Aligholi Agha neighborhood buildings, has created an interconnected and intertwined structure in the center of the neighborhood and has created sensitivity and participation of people in preserving and reviving traditional buildings in this neighborhood.

Life in the traditional cities of Iran until the end of the Qajar period was organized in the form of a neighborhood, which suffered a physical and functional rupture following the urban development of the Pahlavi period. Over time, changing the lifestyle and accelerating its process caused semantic changes, isolation and destruction of neighborhood structures from the collective memory of citizens. Since the neighborhood is the bedrock of current life in the old city and the most important residential scale, it is important to study its structure and key elements. However, not much research has been done on the structure of neighborhoods in Isfahan during the Qajar period and in order to identify each neighborhood from the perspective of architectural history studies. In this regard, Lonban neighborhood, which is one of the oldest and largest neighborhoods in Isfahan and located in the western part of the city will be studied in the mentioned period. The purpose of this recognition is to examine and map the historical background of one of the most important historical cities of Iran. The present research has been done by historical-interpretive method and using valid written historical sources. Historical data from which the existence of the neighborhood originated or was important to local people were compiled and extracted as key components from various sources, including maps, travelogues, historiographies, etc., and with different perspectives on the five categories of natural, historical, economic and occupational, demographic, and physical characteristics were explained. Finally, using the studies and matching with Seyyed Reza Khan’s map, the area of this neighborhood in the city of Qajar period was redrawn and the key elements in this neighborhood were identified and their positioning was done. These studies are not only valuable in terms of urban historiography, but as a structure derived from human behaviors and activities over a long period of time and in accordance with their natural environment, it is essential for the process of improving the quality of today’s cities.

Neighborhood in the Iranian cities plays a critical role in the construction of personal and collective identity, place attachment and place belonging. Such neighborhoods during the rapid urbanization and modern urban planning ideas have undergone changes in the spatial structure and social organization over the past several decades leading to disruptions in peoples’ psychological bonds with their neighborhoods and accordingly decline in social participation, social capital and local identities. According to a survey conducted by the Tehran Municipality (2017), Ekhtiarieh is one of the top ten neighborhoods in Tehran, where a high level of neighborhood attachment and relatively high residential stability have been recorded. This article seeks to identify the psychological nature of this bond by studying the lived experience of the residents of Ekhtiarieh and to identify the components that affect the construction of the attachment to the neighborhood. Therefore, the qualitative inquiry and the grounded theory methodology adopted. Using purposeful and theoretical sampling techniques, 24 residents were selected as participants in the research through the process of the data collection and analysis. In-depth interview, open questionnaire and cognitive mapping have been used for data collection and data analysis was performed simultaneously using open, axial and selective coding.Findings show that attachment to the neighborhood is experienced as the sense of home on the neighborhood level and has emotional, perceptual-cognitive and behavioral dimensions. Participants with high level of neighborhood attachment experience an array of emotions namely pride, psychological well-being and sense of belonging and membership. Attachment to the neighborhood is also experienced through maturity of person-place bond, formation of the social self, transformation in the place meanings, territoriality, and the psychological ownership of neighborhood. Analyses of lived experience of Residents shows neighborhood attachment is associated with the specific behaviors namely adaptive proximity seeking patterns, collective action, seeking similarity and affiliation. Attachment to the home, self-continuity, place identity, visual-auditory pleasantness, neighborhood status, places and events connecting people, perceived responsiveness of neighborhood, and place and community stability are factors promoting attachment to the neighborhood.

With the development of industry and the invention of cars, the walkability has lost its pivotal role in the design of urban spaces, and this has caused the spatial quality of public areas and sidewalks to be reduced compared to before. It seems that investigating examples of existing urban spaces that are still attracting the Pedestrian population in field of walkability quality and investigation of the relationship between these components, provides the community with appropriate models for improving walkable neighborhoods. This research seeks to answer the question of which of the factors has caused the attraction of the pedestrian population in this neighborhood as a case study of this research. The aim of this study has been to investigate the walkability criteria in Sang-tarash-ha neighborhood by descriptive-analytical method using a questionnaire for simple image sampling. Quantitative analysis of the questionnaire data as well as qualitative conversion into quantitative components has been done by SPSS software. Concurrent by testing the research hypothesis, the degree of correlation and relationship between components has been investigated by Pearson and Regression tests. The results show that, there is a linear relationship between walkability components other than urban self-reliance. In terms of quality, the component of providing security and safety had the highest-grade point average among the walkability components so it can be concluded that attention to pedestrian security and safety in the physical design of the streets of this neighborhood is the greatest factor of the strong presence of pedestrians during the years of life of this area.

Dilapidated urban structures, regardless of their different species, are the product of some negligence of urban management, which over time has become an area of the city that lacks the necessary physical stability and strength, does not provide adequate access to their homes and lacks Severe service suffer. For this reason, due to the low quality of life in some parts of them, the housing of deprived and rural immigrants and some non-Iranians have become and finally have become unsafe places with many social anomalies at the lowest level of environmental quality. What has faced the problem of intervention, improvement and renovation of worn-out structures in our country is the lack of a clear strategy based on the identification of worn-out tissue species and the serious determination of urban management to renovate and improve them. In many areas, contextual improvement and micro-partnership with the people living in it, offers a very desirable and sustainable method that can be done over a short period of time. Qom city is one of the cities that is clearly facing the problem of erosion due to having about 1074 hectares of historical and dilapidated texture and the residential texture around Qom Grand Mosque, due to its special location and being located in the central and historical area of Qom city and its erosion.

Urban economics, after the formation of sustainability-based approaches such as sustainable development, became more and more associated with these approaches and formed a comprehensive category called "sustainable urban economy".The aim of this research is researching the effectiveness of sustainable urban economy for the transformation and redevelopment of dysfunctional urban neighborhoods in which haven’t been evaluated until now. , using a quantitative-qualitative method based on interviews and questioning of experts in Tehran, research data were collected. The results showed a significant effect of all the studied models on the dependent variable, ie local development. However, some models of sustainable urban economy, such as "social entrepreneurship" and "LED model", had a greater impact on local development. This means that the two models can be used more than other models in accordance with the conditions of dysfunctional neighborhoods in the 10th district of Tehran. Finally, it was concluded that in order to apply the models of sustainable urban economy in local development and the transformation of dysfunctional urban neighborhoods in the 10th district of Tehran, two basic preconditions should be considered. One is that the priority of selecting redevelopment models should be based on their adaptation to "endogenous local development" and the other is that the sociological conditions and requirements of dysfunctional urban neighborhoods should be considered in choosing the development model. Thus, by accepting and applying these two preconditions, it is possible to create a local model of local development in Tehran. Manuscript profile

Cities, urban spaces beyond independence, also have a special identity personality. While the city is a place where urban interactions lead. People also have a sense of citizenship towards their city. In other words, what leads to the construction of the city is not a collection of huge buildings and parks, but it is the people themselves who, with their special characteristics, create their urban identity and become citizens. It can refer to topics such as (time, place, ethnicity, beliefs, customs, common language, dialects and local coverings) (Nofel et al., 2009: 57-69). One of the main and important elements in promoting the meaning of the city is the neighborhoods of the city. For many years, neighborhoods have been an integral part of the urban environment. Therefore, a large part of the semantic and identity of the city is the responsibility of the neighborhoods (445: 2000, Eben Saleh). Neighborhoods can spread a sense of identity and belonging to the environment among residents. In this research, the research method is descriptive-analytical. Part of the information is in the form of a library and the other part is obtained through a field study. Also, statistics, sources and survey methods will be used to analyze the study neighborhood. Following the completion of the above questionnaires and by analyzing the data obtained from field surveys and existing documents regarding urban identity in the mentioned neighborhood, the method of analyzing its data is done in two ways. In order to calculate its reliability and validity, Cronbach's alpha method is used. Correlation tests will be used to analyze the data. Manuscript profile

Historical fabric is an architectural and cultural masterpiece, forming a valuable part of urban identity and history. Preservation and maintenance of this fabric and the quality of its landscape are essential but currently neglected due to economic and socio-cultural reasons. This study aimed to identify and explain the key drivers affecting the landscape quality of the Sang-e-Siah neighborhood historical fabric in Shiraz. The research was applied concerning purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature and research methodology. Library-documentary and field studies were used, along with the distribution of questionnaires, to collect the required data, which were then analyzed using MicMac software and the Delphi technique. The results indicate that 7 out of 22 main influential factors affect the landscape of the historical fabric of the Sang-e-Siah neighborhood in Shiraz. These key factors have the most significant impact and are the least influenced by other factors affecting the landscape quality of the historical fabric of the Sang-e-Siah neighborhood in Shiraz and include spatial unity (coordination of elements) (V4), color and materials (V16), sidewalk space (V19), security and peace (V14), green space (V20), urban furniture (V12), and lighting (V15). The results of the research indicate that a desirable urban landscape has numerous impacts on the quality of life for citizens and increases their satisfaction with municipal management performance, which, in turn, will lead to greater citizen participation in urban development projects. Achieving a desirable urban landscape requires the identification of influential factors and planning for the improvement of their conditions because due to the internal relationships among these landscape elements, a change in one factor leads to changes in others. Intervening in the historical urban fabric is highly sensitive due to the value of these historical areas. Manuscript profile

The spatial structure of quarters plays a fundamental role in revitalizing and improving their quality. Emphasizing the reconstruction of cultural heritage, this approach can serve as a suitable catalyst for strengthening related issues or the spatial structure of historical quarters. This research aims to reconstruct the spatial structure of the Arg quarter in Mashhad. The methodology employed is mixed (quantitative and qualitative), where initially, by defining the criteria for cultural reconstruction in both soft and hard environments and categorizing them into seven dimensions of the urban environment, the cultural criteria in the components of spatial structure were elucidated. In the second step, quarter issues in the Arg quarter were extracted through the perspectives of authors, experts, and residents using observation and interviews, then the issue network was drawn and analyzed using qualitative research analysis tools (Gephi software). The results of the research indicate that the most important issues of the spatial structure of the Arg quarter include the lack of day and night activities, neglect of social values, functional disturbances in space and activities, inappropriate environmental qualities, and the loss of a sense of place, which can be addressed by proposing suggestions for improvement based on the identified issues.

The problem Statement: Despite various estimates that have been made about the effective strategies in creating natural light and visual comfort in the structure of traditional Iranian houses, a precise quantitative evaluation of their efficiency and quality has not been determined. Main question: What strategies were used in Qajar architecture to make the most use of natural daylight and how much was this important in traditional residential buildings of Tehran city due to the fluctuation of radiation intensity and the possibility of glare? Objective: This research aims to investigate and identify the effective strategies on the desirability of benefiting from natural daylight and visual comfort in traditional houses of Qajar period in Oudlajan neighborhood of Tehran. Research method: The present paper is based on a quantitative paradigm and a simulation strategy that uses Rhino software and evidence derived from reading the physical structure of traditional houses of Tehran city in Qajar period by non-random sampling for its calculations. Conclusion: The results showed that the daylight autonomy of the space in the majority of the rooms under study was at an acceptable level (more than 50%) and therefore these rooms were well lit by natural light. In addition, the comparison of the data of these analyses shows that the ratio used in the light-receiving surfaces was about 19.20% of the floor area of the room and the dominant direction of the light-receiving was from the south front. Also, all the rooms are in the acceptable level of glare probability mentioned in the lighting standards. Manuscript profile

Mohammad Taghi Heydari Sima Kazemi Lemraski Abstract The increasing growth of urbanization and the lack of coherent urban management have led to the inefficiency of planning in cities, so that this inefficiency is more visible at the small "neighborhood" level. In general, the community-based approach in urban development and planning can increase people's control over their own lives and livelihoods, and ultimately lead to the presentation of plans and programs that are more consistent with local needs and conditions. In the science of cultural economics, the economic fields and Websters needed in a cultural category are discussed. Determining the correct policies in the field and sectors of the economy of culture is one of the most important and key factors in its development. In this regard, in the present research; Effective policies in cultural economy in Moradab-Karaj neighborhood (Islam-Abad) have been compiled with a neighborhood-based approach with a descriptive-analytical method based on documentary and survey sources. First, we will examine and explain the nature of the cultural economy and the role of creative industries and effective policies on the cultural economy, and finally, strategic-executive solutions are presented in order to achieve the development of the neighborhood. The data used in this research is a combined method (quantitative and qualitative). Data analysis has been done according to the analytical descriptive method and according to theoretical inferences. The statistical community of this research is made up of experts and experts in the field of urban planning and some of them are native people of the neighborhood. In order to get a deeper understanding of issues and problems, especially social and economic characteristics, information was collected using a survey method and a questionnaire tool. After the comments and answers were counted, the content analysis method was used, and in particular, the software (MAXQDA) was used, through which the data of the answers to the interviews and questionnaires were summarized and coded. The results show that the neighborhood council and city-management can contribute to the ecological, economic, social, political and cultural sustainability of the neighborhood in the direction of sustainable neighborhood development by fundamentally changing the neighborhood's planning structures. Finally, it can be said that coherent neighborhood management plays a significant role in shaping the neighborhood and maintaining the economic structure of the neighborhood as well as creative industries.
