Urban art, as a fluid event in the city, seeks to reduce vitality due to not paying attention to creating a vibrant urban space and creating changes in social and cultural behaviors. In the urban place, different types of arts can be seen, among which music has received less attention so that the physical-spatial scene of the city does not have a suitable place for performing music. Nowadays, in the urban space, a different kind of street musicology has been formed, playing and singing mostly as a solo or two-person performance.This study aims to investigate creating a sense of belonging and vitality to the urban space and music audiences and the effect of music on the audience in the urban space.The research method in this article is based on the preparing a questionnaire and selecting three different statistical populations, considering the effect of music on different sections of society. The current study is a case study of Khayyam Street in Urmia.The results of the research indicate that, from the point of view of businessmen, passers-by, and music teachers, street music as a street art has a significant impact on urban space, music cultural as well as urban vitality and audience attraction, giving the audience a sense of belonging to the urban space.

Problem: 

Factors such as the change in the emotional connection of humans with the urban space, events and places, have led to the reduction of place attachment and the aggravation of its consequences in Tehran. 

Target: 

In this research, analysis of key criteria affecting the use of color palettes as an important factor in the identification and improvement of the spatial attachment of urban spaces in Tehran has been considered.
 authors try to redefine the importance and significance of the urban public arts event in urban spaces, identify the feasibility of performing street music in social environments. The green corridor of Shahrchai and the Khayyam Jonubi sidewalk of Urmia city have been studied.

Interpretive Phenomenological Approach (IPA) is used as a qualitative approach, which aims to provide detailed reviews of the personal life experience of the color perception of the city, and the key criteria affecting the use of the palette. Color schemes are presented in spatial correlation in the framework of causal layered analysis (CLA). Due to the limitation of available samples, a targeted non-random sample was used to identify eleven people with conditions to identify and analyze the approaches and criteria.

The findings of the research showed that the criteria of color preferences, spatial context, citizens' participation, mental image, color perception in the decision-making and urban management system are among the most important criteria affecting the subject of the research. The importance of using color in promoting attachment is influenced by the environmental context, which can lead to the observance of principles such as the presence of citizens in the context of participation. In order to improve the situation of spatial attachment in connection with the color palettes of Tehran metropolis, strategies have been presented in the fields of urban management and design, citizens' participation, and creativity and innovation.

Problem: 

More knowledge about the aspects affecting outdoor thermal comfort can help urban designers to enhance the experience of urban places. explaining human responses to thermal stimuli requires more detailed knowledge about the factors and processes affecting thermal comfort. In this regard, beside the impact of objective factors, it is necessary to consider the effect of mental processes. In the last two decades, many researches have been focused on the psychological aspects of thermal comfort. The diversity of influencing psychological factors and the breadth of case study data requires comprehensive reviews to make theoretical inferences and transform them into more structured conceptualizations. On the other hand, review of studies on psychological aspects of outdoor thermal comfort shows a weak link with the basic theories of environmental psychology in the relevant field.

Target:

 The goal of this study was to comprehensively review research findings in the field of psychological aspects of thermal comfort influenced by the experience of urban places, and to create a link between the evidences about psychological influences on outdoor thermal comfort and theoretical concepts of environmental psychology.

The proposed conceptual framework guides and organizes this review. studies were searched based on keywords extracted from theoretical bases, and 28 articles were reviewed in detail. The extracted research outputs were divided based on thematic categorization of the conceptual model, including long-term experience, short-term experience, restorative environments, and momentary person-thermal environment interaction.

Review of studies demonstrates the effect of cognitive factors resulting from long-term experience (association between thermal conditions and spatial characteristics in memory, preferences and attitudes toward thermal experience in urban spaces, and sense of places for the person), short-term experience (short term thermal history, short-term affects and mental fatigue), restorative environments (physical and functional restorative properties, and personal connection to place) and situational interaction between person and thermal environment (congruence with needs/goals and expectations, and coping potential) on outdoor thermal comfort.

Problem: 

Residents of residential complexes in urban areas face all kinds of sounds every day. Most of these hundreds are very noisy and painful in traffic centers.

Target: 

The aim of the current research is to evaluate the satisfaction of the residents of Tabriz railway neighborhood from the perspective of environmental acoustic comfort.

The current research method is descriptive-analytical with practical purpose. The statistical population of the research is 32,936 residents of the Tabriz railway neighborhood. The sample size was 380 people using Cochran's formula. For the validity of the questions, face validity was used and Cronbach's alpha was used for reliability. To analyze the data, structural equation method and TOPSIS and FTOPSIS techniques from Spss and Amos software were used.

The results showed that among the factors affecting the acoustic comfort of the residents of the Tabriz railway neighborhood, the physical index had the greatest impact, followed by the acoustic and social indicators. Also, the results showed that in terms of the ranking of the koi in terms of acoustic comfort in terms of noise pollution, Ittahad alley got the highest noise pollution, followed by Niloufar alley and Shaghaig koi, the second and third respectively As a result, with proper design and use of form, facade and materials in terms of architectural acoustics, noise pollution can be reduced to a great extent in Tabriz Railway neighborhood and help to improve the quality of acoustic comfort of the residents.

Problem:

 The problem addressed in this research is the potential conflict between economic goals in urban branding and the long-term health of urban ecosystems. Specifically, there is concern that focusing solely on economic aspects in urban design may jeopardize the health of the urban ecosystem and lead to severe damage over time.

Target:

 The primary objective of this research is to develop an urban brand that prioritizes sustainability and enhances the health of the ecosystem within cities. The aim is to provide solutions for maintaining and strengthening social and environmental interactions through landscape design in urban green infrastructures.

The research adopts an applicable-science approach with a descriptive-analytical method. Data collection is primarily library-based, focusing on gathering information about urban green infrastructure, particularly paths and spaces, and their role in fostering sustainability and social and environmental interactions.

Based on the collected information, the research identifies the key components and principles of urban green infrastructure. The two major components are paths and spaces, which form the structure of green infrastructure. Additionally, the research outlines principles such as multi-functionality, communication, synchronization, process-oriented design, and strategic planning as fundamental to the development of sustainable urban branding through landscape design.
