The spread of the coronavirus has changed people’s lifestyles and behaviors. These changes have taken place in various area including transportation. People have different options for intercity transportation, including public, private and bicycle transportation systems. Different countries and cities exhibited different behaviors in the amount of their use of these transportation systems before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Covid-19 on the use of different transportation systems and compare them with each other. This study used a Likert questionnaire in 2 parts to examine various transportation systems in Shiraz and Tehran. The questionnaires were responded by 7 women and 9 men. Participants included those who had used the BDOOD bike system before or after the coronavirus outbreak. Also, ANOVA analysis and the t-test were used in one part. The results of this study suggested that the use of the BDOOD bike system decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the use of private vehicles increased, but the use of public transportation decreased. Public transport was the most common means of transportation before the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, while private vehicles were mostly used for transportation in the post-Corona period. In addition, interesting results were obtained from ANOVA analysis of age and gender with different transportation means. This study is an attempt to recognize the transportation pattern and changes that it has undergone due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Its results can be used in the planning and decision-making of transportation-related institutions.

One of the new-fashioned approaches to regional development is Regional Competitiveness, which provides increscent economic productivity coupled with regional well-being improvement. Additionally, the Complementary Urban Theory is one of the novel approaches to regional competitiveness planning. It would also be utilized when two or more cities are planned collectively to bring Intended development. Therefore, the following research is conducted to achieve a framework for establishing a competitive urban network at the province scale by taking advantage of extracted indicators. For this purpose, this research looks for beneficial indicators of urban competitiveness with the primary aim of preparing an urban competitive urban network framework at the regional scale.With this in mind, the following research is categorized as quantitative research and applied science. Besides, it uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP); to evaluate the efficacy of influential factors on urban competitiveness and uses the shift-share; to evaluate the competitive advantage of each of the counties. Finally, it results in five counties having the agricultural rule, eight counties having the service rule, and nine counties having the industrial rule as the primary rule to achieve a complementary network at the regional scale; In fact, the result came by considering the competitive advantage of each of twenty-two counties of the study province, coupled with SWOT analysis, and based on Porter's Diamond Theory.

Increasing demand for energy due to population growth along with global warming, which has led to numerous environmental issues, such as deforestation, destruction of the ozone layer, drought, storms, and floods have encouraged many researchers to seek new ways to utilization of clean renewable energies. The construction of zero energy buildings in Iranian cities can be a great step forward in economic development and reduction of pollution issues in metropolitan areas. The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize suitable cities in Iran to build zero energy buildings. For this purpose, fuzzy Delphi method and multi-attribute decision making (MADM) methods have been used. The cities that are suitable for the construction of zero energy buildings were selected through interviews with individuals who are experts in the fields of architecture, urban planning, energy management and who are familiar with the construction of zero energy buildings, as well as considering the results of previous research and the characteristics of different cities. Then, using the fuzzy Delphi method, the necessary attributes to prioritize the selected cities were determined and their weight was determined. After that, the cities were prioritized using SAW, TOPSIS and VIKOR methods. Finally, using the Copeland method, the results of the three methods were combined and the final prioritization of cities was determined. The results showed that Yasuj, Shiraz, Tabriz and Arak cities are suitable cities to build zero energy buildings in Iran.

Urban catalyst projects are implemented in order to accelerate and facilitate the regeneration process of disorganized and disordered urban areas and are accomplished by relying on social participation and the use of local capacities. This study mainly aimed to investigate the effects and impacts of relocating public organizations to deteriorated areas in Tehran as urban catalyst projects. Thus the methodology was designed based on social impact assessment. Using documentary and field research, needed data was collected, and afterward, using different techniques such as comparative analysis, the changes derived from the intervention in different variables and impacts on stakeholders were evaluated. In addition to literature review, reports from several similar urban projects were also studied. Related officials, urban managers, elites and local social actors which were selected by targeted sampling method, were also interviewed and the interviews continued to reach a theoretical saturation. Based on all the data, the impacts on various aspects including social (changes in population density, social control, safety, social conflicts, female presence and participation, migration and gentrification, quality of life, etc.), physical (infrastructures, traffic, deterioration, urban landscape, etc.), economic (property prices, job creation, local businesses, investment, etc.) and environmental subjects were explained. In the end for managing the impacts, the network of different institutions and organizations which should be responsible for this interventions are identified and then related solutions are provided to increase the positive effects and to reduce negative ones. Keywords: Social Impact Assessment, Deteriorated Area, Urban Catalyst Project, Relocation of Public Organizations, City of Tehran.

The Naysar metropolitan area is the largest district with the largest population and at the same time has the most challenges and problems. Among these challenges and issues is the issue of ownership and housing, which in addition to planners and officials, has also involved the residents and landowners of this region. Therefore, the present study, considering the theory of urban regeneration and the current trend, seeks to analyze how the spatial-physical development of this area and the conflicts that have formed around land conflicts and provide property and housing rights to the residents of this area. . The method used in this study is an institutional ethnographic method that seeks to change the status quo with the strategy of defending the lower classes (residents). Therefore, using semi-structured interview data with 25 managers and urban planners as well as local trustees and collecting statistics and institutional information related to the measures taken in the study area, to analyze the current situation and present Solutions have been taken. The results show that due to the power of landlords and entrepreneurs, as well as institutions such as the municipality, marginalized people have been rejected or forced to accept the status quo in these conflicts. The categories of rural urban infrastructure, unconstitutional construction and smuggling of urban services, lack of strategic urban planning, lack of sufficient funds and lack of interaction of stakeholders indicate the conditions that have caused socio-economic instability.
