Problem Design: In urban areas, the concept of green infrastructure has been highlighted as a means to improve the quality of life and well-being of residents. Green infrastructure refers to a network of interconnected green spaces that provide multiple ecosystem services. By integrating green infrastructure in urban planning, cities can reduce the adverse effects of urbanization and at the same time improve the livability and sustainability of the urban environment. To achieve sustainable development through green spaces, it is necessary to prioritize them in urban planning processes.
The Aim of the Research: To consider the fair distribution of green spaces, ensure access for all members of society, and design multi-purpose spaces that meet different needs. In addition, sustainable management practices, such as water conservation, use of native plant species, and community involvement, are critical for the long-term preservation of green spaces.
Research Method: In terms of methodology, it is descriptive-analytical with practical purposes, the research method is in the form of preparing a questionnaire and data extracted from Geographic Information System (GIS) software and using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) done.
Research Results: Based on the analysis of 4 main criteria and 9 effective sub-criteria, the results show the importance of the options of increasing social interactions, reducing environmental pollution, and education and training of the body and mind along with increasing density, respectively, with scores of 0.173, 0.161 and 0.139, according to the selection priority, and based on them, plans have been proposed to improve green spaces in the 10th area of Tabriz metropolis.

The increase in urbanization has led to significant development in a number of urban areas, and in addition, changes in land use structure have been significant due to the rapid growth and expansion of urban areas. The city of Urmia is not exempted from this trend and its population and area have increased several times during the last few decades. Based on this, in the present study, the temporal and spatial patterns of the physical development of Urmia city during the last two decades have been investigated. The current research has been done in two basic stages. First, land use maps were extracted using Landsat satellite images and support vector machine classification technique in three years 1382, 1392 and 1402, and in the next phase, various trends were analyzed and the role of population was calculated using the Heldren model. According to Pejush's findings, the area of residential land in Urmia increased from 4377.2 hectares in 1382 to 5895.7 hectares in 1392 and 6573 hectares in 1402, and many lands were added to the city. Surveys have indicated the physical development of the city in different directions, especially towards the west and north, which is strongly associated with the expansion of informal settlements and the integration of villages into the urban context. Also, the results of Heldren's model also show that in the first ten years of the period, 88% of the city's physical development was due to population growth, which decreased to 78% in the second ten years. The results of the research show that in general, the physical development of Urmia city is of a spiral type and various factors such as land use change, population growth and marginalization were involved in it

The assessment of housing quality at the level of urban areas serves as a guiding tool to understand the state of housing quality and, on the other hand, as a delineator of areas requiring intervention towards the enhancement of desirable housing standards for the population. The prevalence of dilapidated residential units, seismic vulnerability of the city, and the ongoing trend of population growth and migration in Damghan highlight the necessity of studying the domain of desirable housing for its populace in this city. This research, both in terms of its applied objective and analytical approach, adopts a descriptive-analytical stance. Data collection instruments in this study endeavor to utilize secondary data for conducting relevant analyses relying on an objective approach. Analyses were conducted utilizing ranking techniques such as Coperas, Moora, and Oreste methods, and ultimately the Copeland technique; while spatial distribution analysis of indices was performed using GIS software, and statistical discussions were conducted employing SPSS software. Findings indicate that among the 9 districts of Damghan, districts 2, 4, and 9 exhibit the highest levels of both quantitative and qualitative housing indices, whereas districts 7, 5, and 1 demonstrate the lowest levels of the aforementioned indices. Results from the spatial autocorrelation test using Global Moran's I also suggest a random pattern of indices dispersion at the district level in this city, emphasizing the involvement of numerous factors in shaping such a pattern. Dilapidation of residential units, district antiquity, and uneven distribution of urban amenities across districts are among the primary reasons contributing to this pattern. Ultimately, this study proposes the identification of inadequate neighborhoods in terms of housing quality, implementation of neighborhood-based housing redevelopment processes, and municipal emphasis on housing quality within regulations and oversight as recommendations towards enhancing housing quality at the urban level in Damghan.

Environmental quality is a multidimensional concept that has common points with concepts such as quality of life, quality of place, perception and satisfaction of citizens. It can be considered one of the most important tasks of urban planners and designers to improve environmental quality. Urban streets, as one of the constituent elements of the structure of cities, which have the main effect in improving or reducing the environmental quality of the city, have been reduced to a path only to solve the problem of vehicle traffic. This issue is also true for Shahid Beheshti Street in Karaj, on which the initial core of the city was formed. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of effective indicators in improving the environmental quality of the said street for three specific periods of development in order to determine the extent of their use in the design and its effect in improving the environmental quality of the street. The statistical population of this research includes 20 experts from Karaj city who are related to this field. The tool for collecting information is a questionnaire, which was designed based on theoretical foundations and research. The results obtained from the independent one-sample T-test analysis show that in the three mentioned development periods, for the design and expansion of the communication network of Shahid Beheshti Street in Karaj, less attention was paid to the indicators effective in improving the quality of the environment in order to become a lively and activated space. Is. Although it was done using Tukey's test and ranking, all three periods compared to the previous period had a relatively better situation in applying the indicators to improve the environmental quality of the above street.

Today, informal settlements and the lack of security of occupation in them has attracted the attention of many researchers , so much so that the Human Housing Organization has mentioned the insecurity of occupation as an indicator of deprivation in informal settlements. Occupation security is one of the most important issues facing informal settlements.The subject of this research (or study) is the analysis of the role of the security of occupation in the physical quality of housing in Yousef- Abad neighborhood, one of the informal housing centers of Tabriz metropolis, which is located within the area of Tabriz Region 1. The aim of this study is to investigate the level of perceptual occupancy security and the relationship between the perceptual occupancy security and the physical quality of housing in the studied area. The research method used in this research is of descriptive and correlation type, and it uses the survey method and a questionnaire tool, and SPSS. 25 software is used for data analysis. The statistical population in this study is the residents of Yousefabad informal settlement neighborhood. The probabilistic sampling method is simple and "Charles Cochran's" formula has been used to calculate the sample size And the sample size according to Cochran's formula is 373. The results show that the level of the perceptual occupancy security is very low in this district, and the Index of evacuation to any time is one of the main factors in reducing the security of perceptual occupation in Yousef- Abad neighborhood. and these is not a positive and meaningful relationship between the perceptual occupancy security and physical quality of housing.

The aim of this research is to investigate the macroeconomic variables effect on housing prices and rents. The data are collected from reports and documents. Data is quarterly and is from 2008 to 2019. The ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model was used to analyze the data and the augmented Dickey-Fuller test (ADF) was used to examine the unit root of the variables. Results show that predictor variables have a significant explanatory effect on the behavior of the dependent variable. Thus, for the housing price, the regression equation was significant with an R squared of 0.98 and an adjusted R squared of 0.975. Accordingly, this model predicts 97.5% of the variance in the housing price. Also, for the rental price, the regression equation was significant with an R squared of 0.986 and an adjusted R squared of 0.982. Accordingly, this model predicts 98.2% of the variance in the rental price. In housing prices, "informal exchange rate", "inflation rate" and "liquidity rate" have a direct and positive correlation with housing prices. "Unemployment rate", "coin price" and "bank interest rate" are also directly and negatively correlated. Also, the effect of the "consumer price index", "official exchange rate", "number of residential units built" and "Volume of the stock market" is not significant. In housing rent, the "informal exchange rate" and "inflation rate" have a direct and positive correlation with housing rent. "coin price", "bank interest rate", and"Unemployment rate" are also directly and negatively correlated. Also, the effect of the "consumer price index", "official exchange rate", "number of residential units built", "liquidity rate", and "Volume of the stock market" is not significant.
