        1 - Determining Criteria and Indicators for Architecture Design of Iranian Science & Technology Parks; With a View to World Experiences

        Technology parks were formed in 1960s as social foundations and as a part of the chain in knowledge - based development. From 1980s, the policy-makers pointed out to a sustainable development based on the technology infrastructure. Development of technology parks was promoted as part of this trend. As a result, there are currently more than 1500 STPs around the world. The development of STPs in Iran began since two decades ago and resulted in establishing a number of these parks. In some cases, challenges of allocating spaces, ambiguties in policies, poor funding, lack of rules and regulations, and bad strategic plannings have caused that some of theses parks are not successful in their goals and objectives. Sustainable master planning concepts for science & technology park sites prepares a way for sustainable design of research facilities. For the ultimate success research facility design it is critical that early master planning principles facilitate as many passive and sustainable techniques as possible. By using these techniques for science parks, the designers and science park managers will help to reduce costs, conserve resources, and reduce life cycle costs at the first stage, while providing a higher quality research environment. By reducing waste and planning for conservation of materials, the design team intends to improve the entire design and to build user processes. The outcomes show the reduction use of lands resources, and to reach a higher quality, more research productive facility and more money to devote to the core business of research. In this article, which is organized based on a descriptive analysis method, and an in-depth review on experiences from Australia and USA, we have attempted to analyse the master plan of those parks to evaluate the architecture considered to next figure out a proper trend relevant basis for development of STPs in Iran. In this view, essential factors such as scale, development process, accommodation and locality trend, space, are thoroughly assessed. Finally a case study was performed that investigates the master plan of KSTP from the point of view of regulations, specifications and key factors towards the success. Results obtained from this study can yield a framework for architecture and plan of STPs. It could also draw a bright outlook in the field to level the efficiency of STPs and draw a way toward the goals of policy- makers and STP managers. Manuscript profile

        2 - Investigating the feasibility of the current situation of the new city of Hashtgerd and its implementation with the prediction of the objectives of the master plan

        The comprehensive urban plan is prepared in order to determine the development directions and formulate a plan for the city, as well as to meet its needs based on the forecasts and goals of urban development. These projects have had different results due to the fact that they are based on the models and experiences of other countries and have been prepared at a high cost, but for various reasons have not been able to achieve their goals. The purpose of this article is to analyze the current situation of the new city of Hashtgerd and to implement it by predicting a comprehensive plan to achieve or not achieve its goals. The research method in this research is based on the applied purpose and based on the descriptive-analytical nature. Its implementation is done by anticipating the objectives of the master plan. To identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Hashtgerd new city, library resources and documents and opinions of experts and city officials have been used. Thus, each of the four SWOT factors is identified, analyzed, and in the next step, the SWOT matrix is ​​formed. According to the analysis, despite the number of cities in the Tehran region, there are only 5 new cities. This indicates that the new city of Hashtgerd has not been successful in attracting the population of the mother city of Tehran; Because the rapid growth of unplanned cities is more than new cities.

        3 - A study of CDS experiences in Iran and the world

        In recent decades, several schools and paradigms have emerged in the field of urban literature, some of which have profound effects on urban spaces, including the "urban development strategy" (CDS) approach, which is one of the most important and controversial, and in several Recent years have also attracted the attention of many scientific-professional circles in Iran. Although the CDS dates back to the formal formation of the Coalition of Cities in 1999, it later published its official documents in the following years in partnership with the World Bank and the United Nations Center for Human Settlements (HABITAT). He is also the official tribune and executive trustee of CDS worldwide. Today, many managers, planners and urban theorists are trying to develop the question of how and by what mechanisms this approach is able to draw positive changes in the normal life of citizens and reduce urban poverty, based on the successful experiences of CDS. -Develop your role. An overview of CDS implementation in more than 250 Third World cities in less than a decade underscores the fact that the approach is more action-based than action-oriented. However, most cities in developing countries such as Iran experience difficult conditions, both in terms of preparation and referral, because the major approach to management and urban planning in Iran is influenced by the school of classical planning with a focus on design. It is comprehensive in which the dimensions of physical development, arrangement and physical order of cities often take precedence over the social-citizenship dimensions. Although comprehensive plans are developed in Iran with the aim of paving the way for the balanced physical growth of cities, in practice they not only impose a lot of energy and costs on the urban economy, but often most of their goals are never achieved.
