Rey city has experienced unprecedented urban growth in recent decades that leading to drastic changes in the land use of the region. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to investigate the changes in land use area of Rey city during the years 1988 to 2006 using aerial photographs and satellite images of Landsat and IRS. With supervised and unsupervised classification of the satellite images, 4 land uses types including urban lands, agricultural lands, green spaces and barren lands were extracted. Land use layers were compared in pairs and the rate of land use changes was extracted. The results showed that urban land use made and urban green space have increased 369.7 and 55.6 hectares, respectively, and agricultural lands and barren lands have decreased 213.8 and 211.5 hectares, respectively. The growth of residential areas during a period of 6 years from 2000 to 2006 totally with 212.7 hectares has been faster changed than a period of 12 years from 1988 to 2000 with 157 hectares. A pairwise comparison matrix of land uses was used to determine the amount of environmental damages caused by unprincipled changes in the region land uses in the studying period. The results show that the conversion of barren lands, agriculture and urban green space into residential lands with the amounts 44.65, 42.44 and 14.85 causes high degree of environmental damages. Land use change, especially the loss of vegetation, has a negative impact on the landscape. Manuscript profile

Sustainable urban development is about building a relatively ideal and ideal city in which contemporary citizens enjoy a fairly good life and the future generation's ability to meet their needs. Tehran, as the main city in Iran, which has about 20% of the country's population and its changes are influenced extensively and directly throughout the country, should therefore be considered more than other cities in terms of urban development. This research is practical in terms of purpose and in terms of its type, descriptive-analytical and consists of four main stages. In the first phase of this research, in order to identify and assess the current status of produced and consumed energy, we study and compare energy consumption data from all fossil fuels, non-renewable and renewable energy sources. In the second stage, the solar energy potential in Tehran, was studied using the information obtained from the synoptic station Mehrabad. In the third step, the cost of generating energy (electric energy) with fossil fuels or photovoltaic systems was compared. In the final stage, the process of designing and analyzing the choice of photovoltaic systems with run on two sample systems was implemented. The results indicate that the domestic, commercial and public sectors and transportation have the highest energy consumption in Tehran in different parts of the country. And also these two parts form the main part of energy consumption in residential areas. as of 2014, the total supply of energy (including production, imports, ...) of non-renewable fossil fuels is 1.774.5 million barrels of crude oil. As of 2014, the total supply of energy (including production, imports, ...) of non-renewable fossil fuels is 1.774.5 million barrels of crude oil. By contrast, the total supply of renewable energy, especially solar energy, is only 24.9% (equivalent to crude oil barrels), which is only 0.013% of the total energy supply of the country. However, due to high capacities of different energy standards in Tehran, utility rate of solar energy this city is significant. And luckily, in recent years, there has been a downturn in the cost of photovoltaic systems. Therefore, at the end of the research, suggestions were made to enhance the role of solar energy in the sustainable development of Tehran, especially in the construction industry, contains: review and modification of urban planning rules for optimizing energy consumption of fossil fuels, by notification and coercion new guidelines for the use of solar energy in the residential areas of Tehran. Culture -building and development of incentive schemes for the prosperity of the production and use of solar energy by citizens, even in small quantities. Providing necessary infrastructure for utilizing solar energy in the household, public and commercial sectors of Tehran Manuscript profile

The urban land management is a quintessential part of the urban management. In some countries such as Iran, there is no integrated urban land management and providing municipal services is assigned to nationwide organisations. This means urban management is offered by the municipality or subsidiaries of the aforementioned organisations. The rapid growth of urbanisation, migration to cities particularly to megacities, and the limited amount of land available for residential housing caused an increase in the demand for residential lands which resulted in its unavailability. In many countries, governments and their administrators attempt to enable various sections of the society, especially, deprived people to have access to the land market through setting policies. Although various countries face similar issues in providing housing and land to the people, there are some subtle differences. These differences are rooted in legislative, historical, political, economic, social, cultural matters and their natural boundariesInvestigating the relationship between decision making model of urban land policies and physical development of Sari city and the relationship between physical development model of Sari city and national politics and role of actors in urban land. To do so, it follows an applied analytical descriptive approach. To analyse the data, mathematical and statistical methods were applied using Excel and SPSS. Moreover, the GIS was used for visualisation and adaptive analysis. The study concluded that lack of clear visions and consequently uncoordinated organisations and their policies, isolated and vertical decision-making, and unmanaged intervention without the required organisational capacities are the critical reasons for inefficient urban land management. .

Today, urban viability reflects a strong discourse on urban development and urban design, which has become prevalent in the history of urban planning. Implementation of urban development plans is one of the basic measures in urban planning and management for the city to be inhabitants of the city and guaranteeing the continued existence of the city for a long time. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of Zanjan city in terms of livability indicators and how urban development plans can be implemented livability in Zanjan city. The research method of this research is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. The results of this study indicate that the findings of the analysis of the mental indices based on the distribution of the questionnaire among the statistical population showed that the Objective and subjective indicators conditions are not nearly consistent. According to the results of regression analysis, the rate of communication and correlation of livability with urban development plans is 0.622. Considering the significant level of 0.000 and its low, it is rejected from the 0.05P <zero hypothesis. It can be said that the relationship between the two variables of livability with the urban development plans is significant. In other words, the implementation of urban development plans accounts for 37% of the Zanjan city's livability. In addition, the highest correlation between the implementation of urban development plans with the social index is 0.369 and the smallest amount is also economic-related with 0.167.

Acquisition of urban lands with a social justice approach is one of the issues that has been neglected in many urban development projects. In this study, after examining land ownership rights, some important rules related to land ownership in different Western and Islamic perspectives are presented and suggestions are made to increase social justice in the realization of urban property rights. In the present study, due to the nature of the subject, the secondary analysis method and content analysis technique have been used. The findings of the study suggest that in the Western view, liberalism imposes restrictions on the government’s power to expropriate individuals, and argues that expropriation laws are only permissible if they serve the public interest. Results of the analysis of private property laws based on the indicators of justice and property rights in Iran by examining property laws in the relevant documents, in the form of 9 principles, including the participation of stakeholders in the implementation of urban projects in financing public spending, transfer of rights Development to the people, the legality of private expropriation if the public interest takes precedence over private-individual interests, and so on. Among the problems of land expropriation in urban development projects are the weakness of laws in proving the loss of existing owners or comparing the loss of owner and citizens and lack of explanation of the rights of the owner of each plot of land in relation to rules and regulations on how to use and use that property.

Urban growth is a vegetative process that crystallizes as an accumulative process, shaping the city spatial structure over decades. In this way, current activities are deposited on the urban fabric through Building, and improve and develop the urban form in response to the changing needs of its time. Since the Building custodian at the Urban level is the Urban management; and governance is a central issue on the path to sustainable development; the research’s problem is "What are the necessities of [Tehran’s] urban building management system in Iranian researchers’ representations". In this regard, the scientific descriptions of Iranian experts on the realities and desirability of the urban Building management system are considered as a face of truth; and the researcher, in order to understand it, uses the thematic analysis strategy as one of the qualitative methods. In this regard, out of 789 sources updated in the Iranian scientific databases, 65 were systematic sampled. The results of this fundamental research showed that according to Iranian experts, the urban building management system of Tehran can be considered as "Tehran’s Building Governance", when it has a Reliable, Remarkable, and Respectable. In other words, by pursuing "fair, balanced and empowering growth", it has sought to "solve the physical and spatial problems of the city of Tehran" in order to achieve "sustainable and affordable product"; and follows this path by "relying on endogenous capacities based on local values" by a "cooperative, efficient and collectivist organization" and in "facing the legal-executive challenges of Tehran’s urban management".

Religious tourism is a type of tourism in which participants are motivated by religious reasons. The aim of the research is to investigate the role of religious tourism in the planning system of Qom city. This research has been developed in terms of practical purpose and in terms of descriptive-analytical method. The data obtained from the research was collected by documentary and field method based on the opinions of 35 experts and using a researcher-made questionnaire. The research findings showed; Religious tourism is not directly mentioned in any document or development plan until the fifth plan. The prioritization of the components showed that the shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (PBUH), the Jamkaran Mosque and religious places are known as the most important components in the development of the landuses of Qom city, and the planners and officials of the regional levels and the national and local level planners have the lowest rank among the components according to the experts. Also, the results of the research showed that the planning system's attention to religious tourism in Qom city and the whole country is moderate to low. Concluding, as a social and cultural reality, religious tourism plays an essential role in the sustainable development of Qom and the country's tourism, and executives, planners and activists can provide reasons for the development of religious tourism in its various dimensions by preparing and implementing development plans.

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. He faces certain problems. The findings show that a survey of residents' satisfaction shows that 32% completely agree with the demolition and renovation of the building, 23% agree, 20% somewhat agree, and there are those who are interested in this area and intend to continue living in the area. 15% of the residents of the area agree with the repair and reconstruction of the area but oppose the demolition and renovation. 10% are also dissatisfied with any changes in the buildings and structures of the area.

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.

As a geographical, economic, political and sociological reality, the city has been influenced by each of these factors in each period of its growth and development and has influenced each of them. The complexity of each of these factors has caused the complexity of the city as their spatial crystallization. Certainly, organizing and ordering the city and how it grows and evolves requires the thematics of the city and urban issues and then planning for it. In recent decades, several policies have been proposed to deal with the issue of environmental quality, social dignity and economic vitality of cities (especially in their inner areas) and various programs have been implemented in this regard. During the last three decades in developed countries, in order to solve the problems and bottlenecks in declining urban areas, various approaches have been experienced in theory and practice. The development policies in Iran during the last decades have led to uneven growth and severe imbalances in development, both in terms of sectors (between agriculture, industry and services or traditional and modern sectors) and in terms of Spatial-spatial differences between cities and villages and even at different levels of urban communities have resulted. For balanced urban development and minimization of problems, related institutions have turned to creating "urban plans" which are considered the most fundamental means of shaping and organizing. More than three decades have passed since the preparation and implementation of urban plans for the purpose of organizing the urban space, despite all the measures taken, evaluations show that these plans have failed to achieve their goals. The main goal is to examine the views of thinkers and planners in line with the factors affecting urban plans. Manuscript profile

Urban development with a social justice approach is one of the issues that has been neglected in many urban development plans. The transfer of the development right is considered one of the new ways of monitoring land development. The transfer of the development right is important in terms of its position in reducing inequality and ensuring the individual rights of the owners. The development right transfer approach is actually a plan to reduce physical development in areas that the community or planners want to protect. This research aims to examine and implement the approach of the right to transfer development and explain some of the principles of important rules in the perspective of Islam, and its relevance and influence in urban development, and offers suggestions for the realization of social justice using this approach. The current research is an applied research that uses the descriptive-comparative research method to analyze and examine the data. To describe and analyze the data, the comparative literature review method has been used. Based on this, while gathering the topics of Islamic social justice and the method of transferring the right to development, the relationship between the aforementioned method and the realization of social justice is analyzed through the Delphi technique by receiving 5 rounds of opinions from 30 experts. As a result of this research, the principles of social justice include eight principles; Equality in public rights, the lack of objectivity of the position and position of people in the administration of justice, inequality in individual-social acquired rights, compliance with the requirements of time in receiving tariffs, equal access to public services, non-privatization of property and public interests, the benefit of all in public affairs, The lack of immunity of rulers and officials from justice was explained. And also compared to the basics of the right to transfer development method, it was found that the principles of equality in public law, the lack of objectivity of the position and position of individuals in the implementation of justice are completely consistent with the method of the right to transfer development. The principles of inequality in individual-social acquired rights, compliance with the requirements of time in receiving tariffs, equal access to public services, non-privatization of property and public interests, benefit of all in public affairs, lack of immunity of rulers and officials from justice are largely consistent. Or you can use the method of transfer of development right in order to achieve the intended goals of that principle. Manuscript profile

Cities inherently face complex and wide-ranging challenges that can only be solved through a systematic approach. Not only has the balance of cities collapsed, but it has also made it impossible to achieve sustainability with the current methods of urban management and development. As a result, urban planners around the world are trying to develop models for the development of 21st century cities with an integrated view of all dimensions of urbanization. Responding to the new demands and expectations of today's world, one of the new concepts to deal with the current challenges of cities in the field of urban planning is the development of a smart city, which has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, the smart city as the axis of transformation. And the development of the millennium has been proposed and means the opening of new concepts in urban planning that combines the capabilities of the real and virtual worlds to solve urban problems.

It is ranged from security concerns to lifestyle preferences due to their formation differing across regions. The present research evaluated development, history, dimensions, and outcomes of residential gated communities. In addition, it explores the reasons for choosing gated communities in Yazd. The research involved a qualitative approach, including questionnaires and interviews with residents. Most residents in Yazd do not prefer gated communities as a long-term lifestyle, instead opting for traditional apartment living. Economic incentives, such as government-provided housing loans, play a significant role in residents' choices. Understanding the impacts and motivations behind gated community development helps shed light on the complexities of this prevalent trend in residential development.</p> Manuscript profile
