TThe landscape in rural areas is always known by tradition and identity, and one of the criteria of rurality is creating a sense of attachment and place belonging to rural areas, on the other hand, the realization of rural identity as a basic indicator requires knowing the components and how to restore identity. It is lost among the rural areas. Defining and explaining the theoretical framework of the realization of rural identity requires benefiting from the studies conducted in this field and other related topics. The review of previous research shows the weakness of the existing frameworks in relation to the realization of the rural identity based on the aesthetic approach. The purpose of this research is how to realize rural identity with a systematic review approach. The current research is fundamental in terms of its purpose, and with the approach of a systematic review of the literature related to the components of rural identity, landscape and aesthetics between the years 2000 and 2022, using 3 specific keywords and a clear and pre-designed strategy, from 5 databases. Information was collected. After screening and qualitative assessment, the final analysis was done on 37 articles. For the realization of rural identity with an aesthetic approach, it is necessary to know the structure and executive performance, existing requirements and background and practical measures, on the other hand, we need the participation of local people and related organizations in all stages of the implementation of the mentioned programs. With the help of cooperation and interaction between local people, related organizations and the government, it is possible to create a unique identity for each rural area and contribute to its sustainable economic and social development.

Water supply in the geographical area of Tehran, as the capital of Iran, until the late Pahlavi era and for many years, was provided through traditional and simple methods. People used canal water from streams and underground rivers to meet their basic needs such as washing and cleaning. Additionally, the water needed for the storage tanks and most of the household basins was supplied through canals. In houses, spaces such as kitchens, toilets, and bathhouses were usually located in the yard and separate from the living space, and the required water for them was mainly provided from storage tanks for the kitchen or the basin for the toilet. The high number of damages and the occurrence of various diseases such as typhoid, baldness, and intestinal swelling caused by consuming contaminated water and not observing hygiene, prompted the Iranian government to consider piping for providing drinking water to the people. Therefore, the main question of this research is how much piping and water supply through a specific route (pipeline system) has played a role in the spatial arrangement in residential architecture. The aim of this study is also to examine and investigate the first water supply system in Tehran through piping and its impact on the formation of residential architecture. The research is qualitative and uses a mixed method of interpretive historical research and descriptive-analytical method. The research results show that one of the significant factors in changing the spatial arrangement of residential architecture in Tehran was the construction of the pipeline network and the transfer of water into homes. The transformation of the spatial structure of houses from two-part to one-part, consisting of 60% building and 40% courtyard, is considered one of the most important results of constructing a pipeline network for Tehran. Also, as a result of the construction of the pipeline network, wet spaces such as kitchens were relocated closer to the entrance to use the main branch of the water supply, providing a basis for women's presence in the public space of the house.

Visual quality can have strong impacts on experience and satisfaction with exposure to the environment. The evaluative image depends on the placement of environmental symptoms and evaluations that shape emotions, perceptions, and behaviors. Effective components such as time, place, and companionship enhance collective memory and remembering place. Cultural roles are shaped by the mental image and create an antisocial personality for of travelers, buyers, visitors and other people who experience the landscape of the city. Therefore, the presence of cultural - historical spaces in the area of Imamzadeh Hassan to the Quds square, with special potential to create community-oriented  spaces, enhance the likability of the place .The research focuses on influencing of the collective manifestation and the continuity of presence on cognitive patterns of urban spaces. The purposes is achieving the guiding framework and create social urban open spaces, so descriptive-analytical method by conducting field studies, identify the quality of event spaces and its necessary facilities and specifications from the perspective of citizens. To strengthen the sense of collective memory in community-based, solutions are provided to establish and produce the necessary conditions.Research finding represent four criterions to identify mental images in collective memory in urban spaces, pleasantness, exciting, anxious and boring are effective in evaluating the quality of space. To create event-oriented spaces at the city level, it is important to identify the relationship of mental images with psychological and sociological criteria.

Nowadays, streets are predominantly dominated by vehicles, which has led to disruptions in the cycle of sustainability in urban transportation. Excessive use of private cars has increased the likelihood of accidents. This article addresses these issues by employing approaches such as traffic calming and neighborhood planning. Therefore, assessing and evaluating the factors that influence traffic calming in urban neighborhoods, with an emphasis on creating a home zone, is crucial for achieving sustainable transportation.The present article falls into the descriptive-analytical category, which also aligns with applied-qualitative studies. Initially, the Analytic Network Process (ANP) using the Super Decision software is employed to prioritize options for achieving sustainable transportation based on the evaluations of two prominent experts. Then, suitable criteria for traffic calming are determined using the Delphi method. Finally, a comparative study (new neighborhood vs. old neighborhood) is conducted using statistical analysis to evaluate the more suitable options.According to the findings of the article, the options of eliminating through traffic, reducing air pollution through land use integration, decreasing private vehicle congestion, and enhancing functional compatibility received the highest scores for achieving sustainable transportation. These align with the criteria of form, function, aesthetics, content, and behavior, which are the primary criteria for achieving traffic calming. Additionally, based on the results, the residents of Sheikh Abad neighborhood were more inclined towards actions related to function and content compared to Mollasadra neighborhood.

Participation is a concept that depends on the context and conditions of a society, and therefore, it takes on various forms and levels. One of the most recognized methods of achieving public benefit in Habermas' perspectives is seen in his concept of communicative action. Furthermore, Jane Friedman categorizes planning theories into four traditions and approaches based on the extent of knowledge application in the public sphere, namely policy analysis, social reform, social learning, and social mobilization. The aim of this research is to categorize the theories of public participation theorists and develop a new interpretation of the levels of participation in conjunction with Jane Friedman's planning traditions. Data was gathered through document analysis and literature review using a qualitative approach. The results reveal that within the framework of the proposed concept of participatory planning, the traditional top-down planning process corresponds to policy analysis, which does not involve participation and cannot be considered a stage of participatory planning. In the second stage, supportive planning corresponds to social reform. The next stage is educational planning corresponding to social learning, and finally, participatory planning is defined as the highest level, corresponding to social mobilization. In this framework, the outcome of each stage sets the foundation for the next stage, providing the basis for genuine participation.

The implementation of the Yakh Kash village relocation plan was carried out in 2008 due to the flooding of the Golvard dam and the risk of flooding, which had many consequences for the lives of the villagers. The aim of the present research was to investigate and evaluate the consequences of village relocation and the problems of the people of Yakh Kash village in Behshahr city. Library documents and field studies have been used to achieve the desired goal of this research. Also, by using different methods of information gathering, especially observation and interview with 51 households, the opinions and problems of the residents regarding the new village were investigated. Exploratory factor analysis was used for evaluation. . The results of the study indicate that most of the rural households did not do animal husbandry after relocation. The problem of eliminating animal husbandry in Yakh Kash village has caused many problems such as reducing the income sources of the household and increasing the cost of living, which has shown itself as the biggest problems of the villagers after relocation. Also, based on the results of the exploratory factor analysis, non-observance of physical-infrastructural considerations, non-observance of environmental considerations in the construction of a new village, inappropriate social performance of the new settlement, problems related to the economic status of the rural household and inappropriate performance of the new settlements are the most important problems of the villagers from the cultural-psychological dimension. After displacement, they were evaluated to account for 46.52% of the cumulative variance.

It seems useless to discuss about urban sustainable development and the approaches towards this end, like Child Friendly City (CFC) before understanding its intellectual foundations and internalizing it in the society and it looks like an 8-year-old child who has not yet learned writing and reading well but enters 4th or 5th grades of primary school which will results in his/her failure. Therefore, if one seeks realization of sustainable urban development focusing on realization of children’s rights in urban environments, he/she needs to establish a relationship between concept of right to the city by “Henri Lefebvre” and urban sustainable development in order to reach an applicable plan through this relation and true understanding of the problem for realization of child friendly city. In this article which has a qualitative nature in terms of methodology, the researcher has tried to present applicable principles for realization of child friendly city approach in Iranian cities focusing on theoretical framework and analysis of experiments of successful countries for creating child friendly city through inductive reasoning. According to this study, four basic principles may be proposed for realization of child friendly city, i.e. avoiding to have a one-dimensional approach to creation of a child friendly city and formulating applicable plans and strategies with interdisciplinary approach, recognizing education as the basis and foundation of development, prioritizing local culture in creating child friendly cities, considering city as an educational laboratory where a child can both learn and experience what he/she learns simultaneously (harmony of education and lived experience).
