The explosive growth of cities, especially after the industrial revolution, made them face many problems; Among these problems is the reduction of urban green and open spaces, which has reduced the quality of urban life. Tabriz, as one of the cities in the cold and mountainous region of the country, with the physical expansion of the city, faces many problems, including the lack of a comprehensive plan for green spaces, lack of water, the loss of gardens and agricultural lands, and the reduction of green spaces, and requires detailed planning for agricultural lands. It is his city. The purpose of writing this article is to investigate the state of urban green spaces (area of Tabriz Grand Park) and to plan and manage these spaces and provide practical solutions. The applied research is carried out by a combined method (quantitative and qualitative) and in a descriptive, analytical and survey way. The necessary information is obtained through document studies, library, questionnaire and interview with the statistical population of the region, experts, city managers and with non-parametric statistical test and sampling volume with Cochran's formula and analysis using SPSS software. The results of the research through the examination of physical, social, economic and environmental variables show that city managers and planners should solve the problems and problems of factors in the large park such as; Access, social and environmental security, holding festivals, exhibitions, specialized greenhouses, etc., organizing product supply stores and especially trying to protect the area gardens by providing new management and planning methods in the form of an agricultural park according to the city's climate and with Be careful to pay attention to the basic and practical solutions provided.

With the increase in the population of the elderly and the ever-increasing expansion of the population of cities, the necessity of adapting urban development to the priorities of the elderly in order to participate as much as possible in this segment of the society is raised more than in the past. In order to achieve an elderly-friendly city, it is necessary to examine the current state of the city and inform it to the city managers in order to plan and formulate future design policies. For this purpose, there are various methods to check the current situation of the city,one of these location-oriented methods is the use of OWA method with GIS. In this research, age-friendliness by using 9 layers including:access to public transportation, urban green space, medical services, public libraries and sports centers along with the layers of air pollution, urban traffic, noise pollution and thermal pollution with the OWA method A survey was conducted in 49 neighborhoods of Bojnord city. The results showed that the development of Bojnord city from the point of view of urban geriatrics has not spread uniformly everywhere and the central part is better than the new parts of the city despite its older texture. Also, its central and eastern parts have better conditions than other parts of the city, and the southern part was shown to be very unsuitable. Based on this, Seyyed Jamal, Sardaran and Jajermi neighborhoods have been identified as three desirable neighborhoods, and Daneshgah, Ahmedabad and Malekesh neighborhoods have been identified as undesirable based on nine criteria. These results are highly consistent with the field visit and completion of the questionnaire along with processing the resulting data using the Copeland method. Therefore, it is suggested that while developing all neighborhoods, the southern, southwestern and eastern should be given more priority.

Bridges in contemporary and historical urban spaces were considered part of tourism spaces in the city. Due to the emergence of the issue of identity and the extreme importance of objective and functional issues in the modern period, an opposite movement took place that directed theorists more towards human and semantic factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effective factors in the identity of urban spaces, a case study of historical and contemporary tourism bridges. This research, with a mixed method and qualitative approach in quantitative "nest by nest", first collected library information with documentary technique related to the topic, then used the interview technique to verify the obtained components in theoretical bases. The components extracted from the questionnaire were made with a Likert scale and distributed among the bridge users. The results were analyzed with "EViews" software and various statistics were used in the analysis of the results. From the regression results, the average coefficient of determination of contemporary and historical bridges is deduced that in historical periods certain components were used to create identity in bridges as an urban space, the important point in historical bridges is that according to the body and decorations Bridges, the family factor has played a colorful role in creating a sense of belonging to a place, while in contemporary bridges, due to the proximity of various functions, entertainment, business and tourism, the coefficients of the identity components in the social and spatial fields are more.

Healthcare services are of particular importance, and access to them is the prerequisite for creating justice in society. The purpose of the current research is to analyze the spatial heterogeneity in the availability of healthcare services, and the research method is descriptive-analytical. In this research, to analyze the spatial heterogeneity, first, spatial and descriptive information related to nine indicators in the field of health and treatment in Ardabil city was collected and updated using the OSM database. In the next step, the variables were standardized with the population of the city neighborhoods and turned into an index, and then the weight of the indicators was calculated using the ROC approach of the ranking method. In the last step, the WLC multi-criteria decision model was used to combine the layers. The result showed that there is a strong spatial heterogeneity among the localities and regions of the municipality of Ardabil in terms of health care services, so that the 1st region of the municipality, which corresponds to the geographical center of the city, has a much better situation in terms of services, so that 45% of the population of this region living in 5 localities is in a very privileged situation. On the other hand, regions 4 and 5 of the municipality have an unfavorable situation in terms of health services, and 81 and 73 percent of the population of these regions are in a very deprived situation, respectively. Out of all the neighborhoods in the city, 12 are very deprived, 15 are deprived, 12 are average, 7 are privileged and 5 are in a very privileged situation.

Vulnerability to earthquakes is a big issue in the cities of different countries, which has harmful consequences in different dimensions. By identifying the effective factors on reducing vulnerability and resilience against earthquakes, crisis management and reducing the consequences of this hazard can be achieved. Examining the state of vulnerability of different areas of Tabriz metropolis during the earthquake shows that the plans, forecasts and measures taken to make these areas resilient were not that effective. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the drivers effective in reducing the vulnerability and resilience of Tabriz metropolis against earthquakes and to develop possible scenarios for the horizon of 1422. This research is applied in terms of purpose, analytical-exploratory in terms of nature, descriptive-survey in terms of data collection method and mixed (quantitative-qualitative) data analysis. The statistical population of the research is 35 interdisciplinary experts in the fields of vulnerability and resilience and the future research approach, who were selected with the purposeful sampling method. In this research, 44 primary factors were extracted and With the structural analysis in the Mikmak software, eleven main factors have been identified as key drivers effective in reducing vulnerability and resilience. Based on the results of the factor impact matrix, out of a total of 3,398 direct impact factors, the variables of the physical sector have had the greatest impact on the future vulnerability of different areas of Tabriz metropolis against the earthquake crisis. Finally, by determining the critical uncertainties through the consensus index as well as the inductive method, three golden, static and critical scenarios have been obtained for the horizon of 1422.

Autism is a developmental spectrum disorder that alters sensory processing and social interactions. This study investigates the impact of environmental components in architectural spaces particularly educational and therapeutic environments on enhancing the social skills of children with autism. The main objective is to identify those environmental factors most strongly correlated with social skill indicators, including play therapy, art therapy, individual and group activities, and participation in social spaces. The research employs a descriptive–analytical method. Data were collected through a 38-item questionnaire administered to instructors across three autism education centers in Tabriz (Pouyesh, Raha, and Autism House). Content validity was confirmed by expert judgment, and the reliability of the questionnaire was verified with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.87. Data analysis was conducted using correlation tests (Spearman and Pearson) in SPSS.Findings revealed that components such as color schemes, textures and materials, greenery and natural elements, natural lighting, spatial flexibility, acoustic quality, personal space and privacy, safety, and spatial legibility, respectively, exert the greatest influence on social skill indicators. The results underscore the necessity of integrating sensory-sensitive design principles and therapeutic-oriented design strategies into educational and urban spaces.
