This article is trying to study the environment factors quality of the open and public spaces, Landscape and climate micro of new town residential complexes of Sahand. Living and freshness of city is fundamentally connected to environmental spaces, and that’s why important factors are considered as significant criterion in evaluating environment. The main problem is that most residential communities were not regarded in the development of environment because of the abstract viewpoint to the residence issue. This cross-sectional study was carried out for the 2009-2010 periods. Type of sampling was simple random sampling, 330 of residents were participated into this study. An interview was managed and information was gathered through questionnaire. All data gathering for this study was analyzed using descriptive. Data analysis was accomplished by SPSS.13 software. Results showed that most of residents (48.8%) consider the quality of open spaces at good levels, 49/9% moderate level and 9.1% low level. The mean and standard deviation of the sample individuals in relation to satisfaction levels of the open spaces of urban residential areas in Sahand were, 88/055 and 21.133 respectively. In the new city of Sahand, the attention should be paid to the environmental and microclimatic aspects of residential complexes with the purpose of the creation of attraction and also the reinforcement of population increase as well as the promotion of open and green public spaces in respect to the climatic welfare

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

In the era of globalization, the concept of creative tourism has become a planned innovation in attracting a variety of cultures and emphasizing historical heritage, posing a challenge for countries. Undoubtedly, ancient sites are a rich source of heritage and an ideal place for implementing creative tourism. The innovative prospect of this issue in the intangible heritage corridor is due to the continued existence of tangible works, including material and cultural heritage. To this end, the present research focuses on identifying the generative sites of this type of tourism in the World Heritage site of Tabriz Historic Bazaar. The research method is a mixed quantitative-qualitative and exploratory approach, using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in library studies, historical documents, field observations, and in-depth interviews with 30 experts, specialists, and professors. The results indicate the effectiveness of both mental and tangible perceptions. Therefore, pairwise comparisons were made using the Expert Choice 2000 software, and the degree of inconsistency was measured, which was accepted due to being less than 0.1. Then, each subset was integrated into ArcGIS 10.8 software using Spatial Analyst functions, and weighted layers were introduced as completely suitable, suitable, unsuitable, and completely unsuitable in four criteria. The results indicate that completely unsuitable spaces, despite their rich material and cultural heritage, are being neglected as attractive places for tourists. Therefore, in terms of creating the potential for creative tourism, interventions are needed considering the cultural characteristics of the society.

The field of civil engineering and construction are interconnected to each other and their common points are in architecture design lessons. The present study deals with the influence of this lessons education on the students’ performance in the field of civil engineering. The statistical society was chosen in Tabriz University. The investigation technique was analytical-qualitative, which was performed using a pilot study. Additionally, the evaluation of the acquired results was accomplished quantitatively and the questionnaires were employed. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was obtained 0.94, which indicates that the questionnaires have an acceptable stability. In order to analyze the distribution of variables, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was utilized in this study. Based on the significance of the obtained results, it can be concluded that two main parameters of principles and fundamentals in civil engineering and construction possess a normal distribution. Likert scale was used to analyze total questions, which had three ranges of weak (26-71), medium (72-97), and good (98-123). These ranges exhibit the influence of educating architecture design on civil engineering students’ performance in Tabriz University, which were found to be 26.66 % weak, 36.66% medium, and 36.66% good. Bazargan’s standard evaluation spectrum was employed for the analysis of each parameter and they were mostly desirable. In order to compare the impact of principles and fundamentals on performance of civil engineering employees in Tabriz University, T-test was used, which had the values of 67.26% and 32.74% respectively for each parameter. Eventually, suggests were provided to improve the performance of civil engineering students and employees in Tabriz University. For example, presenting the lesson in high terms, increasing the time and the number of sessions, providing appropriate topics with respect to progress in professional work place, selection of professional and experienced masters to transfer this experience to the students and etc.

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.

Unreasonable urban sprawl has adverse effects on the natural and cultural environment of societies. Many efforts have been made to eliminate the negative effects of the scattered expansion of cities, the most important of which is the smart growth strategy. In fact, smart growth has emerged as a response to the continuing problems of fragmented development and its negative results. The purpose of this research is to identify the physical capacities in order to develop intermediates by relying on the principles of smart growth in Qanbar Cheshmeh Marand neighborhood.The current research is applied-practical in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. The statistical population of the research consists of 200 dilapidated pieces of dilapidated buildings in Qanbar Cheshme neighborhood. In order to analyze the data, the weighted overlapping model (WLC) was used in the GIS environment.
By using ten indicators of smart urban growth, the rank of smart urban growth capacity was prioritized and mapped in the form of 5 sub-neighborhoods, and to prepare the final map, the highest rate of smart urban growth coefficient was calculated from the average of the ten ranks and the rank obtained as a percentage in GIS format. used. due to the current inefficiency of Baft, it cannot benefit from this increase in population. If 40% of the freed occupation area, which is an area of 15,476 square meters, is dedicated to green infrastructure, mixed uses, creating pedestrian-oriented communities and widening roads, the environmental quality of the worn-out area of Qanbar Cheshme will definitely increase. will find
