        Nowadays, a majority of cities suffer from shortage of quality spaces for collective living. Undesirable space and lack of identity are among factors which put a higher emphasis on promoting quality of life. Life quality is a multi-aspect and complex category, and this concept has various meaning for different people and groups with respect to time and local conditions. Nowadays, life quality has decreased in various aspects and people′s presence has faded away in urban areas. However, existing population in public spaces is such that we face a large number of population in some spaces. This population is a factor to decrease collective life quality in cities. This population does not have sufficient area and required facilities to do voluntary activities in the area, and consequently less interactions will be hold, resulting in urban areas which have changed into sedentary spaces and without manifesting social life conditions. The major function of cities is facilitating the presence of citizens in urban spaces, collective life has become the victim of automobile comfort. Thus, the study is looking for explaining the position of public spaces in meeting regeneration policies in ineffective contexts such that promoting public spaces provides some conditions to promote people′s life quality in ineffective contexts (historic contexts).

The main goal is to achieve the optimal design criteria for residential complexes based on satisfaction with the subjective indicators of residents. First, the research model is designed based on the relationship between subjective indicators and architectural components, and resident's characteristics. In evaluating the structural model, first, the factor load of different variables of the questionnaire in predicting the relevant items examined to ensure the suitability of measurement models and the acceptability of their markers in measuring variables. The research method is using the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique and AMOS software. A questionnaire survey was distributed among occupants of some residential complexes in the three new cities of Andisheh, Parand, and Pardis. The results show that among the evaluated indicators, security has the highest satisfaction. Residents do not feel a sense of belonging despite satisfaction with objective indicators. Physical factors as façade design and landscape design have relatively low satisfaction. Residents' social relationship is weak, the most important factor in terms of design is the lack of spaces for social interactions. Manuscript profile

        Quality of urban life is a multidimensional concept and includes various social, economic, political and physical dimensions. This diversity in dimensions causes quality of life planning to be influenced by different actors and factors and crystallized with complex features such as Uncertainty, nonlinear growth and unpredictable capability. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate the quality of urban life in District 2 of the Municipality of District 13 of Tehran and analyze the factors affecting it in terms of complexity. The method of data collection was based on questionnaires and interviews. Hierarchy and Expert Choice software and Mactor method are used. The statistical sample of the study includes 280 residents and 50 municipal experts in the 13th and 2nd districts. In the study of quality of life based on the results of AHP technique, it was found that in terms of quality of physical-spatial (objective) dimensions, environmental, socio-cultural and economic, Niroo havayi neighborhood and in terms of quality of physical-spatial (mental) dimensions of Piroozi neighborhood, They are considered the most desirable neighborhoods. However, in examining the factors affecting the quality of life, it was found that a variety of actors are involved in policies affecting the quality of urban life in Tehran and show different positions of convergence, divergence and competition towards quality of life policies. Such diversity in actors and convergence, divergence and competition in their stance on policies, indicate the diversity of elements of intervention in urban planning, especially quality of life. That is, the era of the idea of the city as a machine with executive tools such as comprehensive and detailed plans and static models is over, and evokes a new concept called the city as a complex system.

        One of the key pillars in the development of any country is the employment issue and its related challenges that developing strategies in this field and its diagnosis is not hidden from anyone. The aim of this study was to explain informal employment in Iran according to its increasing statistics and to examine its relationship with the most important indicators of work life development including job satisfaction/dissatisfaction, job attitude, and quality of work life. The statistical population of the study consists of formal and informal workers in small and medium workshops in selected cities of Iran. Due to the large size of the statistical population and the difficulty of access to all workers, 980 of them were sampled. Finally, 887 acceptable questionnaires were collected, of which 489 were related to informal workers and 398 were related to formal workers. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software. The results show that the indicators of job satisfaction, job attitude, and quality of work life are significantly lower for employees who have informal employment. Moreover, informal employment statistics in the surveyed cities, on average, is about 55%, which due to its increase compared to previous years and its negative consequences, especially in business development, recommendations were provided to solve this problem.

Quality of life in rural areas depends on many factors such as employment, adequate income, access to services such as education and health, health, social security so that factors such as low density of rural settlements, reduced employment and income in the agricultural sector, Inadequate and inefficient communication routes and transportation networks have complicated the implementation of policies necessary to improve the quality of rural life. With this view, the purpose of this study is to study and compare the quality of life indicators before settlement and presence in the nomadic environment and after settlement in Azadegan village after the flood. The research method in this research is descriptive-analytical, based on library-field studies (questionnaire) and searching Internet sites.

        Today, in most developed countries, habitability is discussed as a principle in the context of sustainability. It is also argued that viability assessment can help implement new urban plans by providing a descriptive method for assessing urban environments and their quality, and varied approaches. Living quality is one of the main concepts of urban design, which has practical and theoretical importance. In this research, an attempt was made to formulate a theoretical framework to explain the concept of happiness in the environment by analyzing the scope of Tajrish and placing a policy for creating happy environments. Then, by introducing and recognizing its constituent components, a model should be presented in order to extract solutions called design policies. Therefore, after reviewing the quality indicators through selected criteria related to happiness, they have been studied in four influential dimensions. By measuring the extracted situation, the results showed that in addition to the three main stages of knowing the current situation, knowing the future ahead, the connection between the past and the future, which in urban culture is called livability, the fifth phase of analysis with three main components including, Identity, structure, and meaning have emerged that will be responsive to the policies of the four main dimensions.

        The main objective of an architectural work is to elevate the quality of humans’ life. Moreover, Architecture gets its qualities from the qualities of human life. Since the quality of human life receives its different spiritual aspects from the cognitive system and perceptions of the architect and his life, it is not possible to discuss the relationship between architecture and human life quality in a research without Based on the presumptions of this study, the most effective cognitive system is that presented by Islam in the teachings of Quran, which is rooted in the innate existence (Fitrat) of man, and “Hayat-e-Tayyebah” is its fundamental basis. Therefore, the main consideration in this paper is to discuss the teachings of the Quran about the quality of human life and how they can be used in architecture. The aim has been to introduce an interdisciplinary research possibility using modeling and logical argumentation and analyzing issues in architecture with a look at the theoretical framework of the Holy Quran toward human and his life. To this end, knowledge about humans has been introduced as the basic cognition in architecture that leads to understanding human life. Finally, potentials of architecture have been redefined in interaction with the quality of human life. Manuscript profile
