New cities, which have been established for about three decades in Iran, are now facing various problems, one of these problems is access to urban public services in these cities. In the present research, which was carried out by descriptive-analytical method and using library and field data, access to urban public services in 7 districts of the new city of Sahand was analyzed in connection with its road network. In the present research, using The method of network analysis, the levels of access to urban public services in the new city of Sahand, were investigated and the result of the work, in the form of separate maps, for 9 types of urban public service users, first in the form of access radius maps and then by integrating the maps It was prepared in the form of weighted access radius maps. In the end, by combining the maps produced in the previous stages, the final map of integrated access to urban public services was presented. . By using the network analysis method, access to urban public services was evaluated in the form of 9 users. The results showed that among the uses of urban public services, the new city of Sahand in terms of the desirability of access are: educational, commercial, urban equipment, administrative-administrative, religious, medical, park and green space, sports and cultural. The radius of access to educational and commercial use is in a more favorable condition than the rest of the use; While sports and cultural uses are in a weaker situation in this regard; The reason for that is the spatial distribution and the number of these uses. Also, the results of the map of integrated access to urban public services showed that only 45% of the entire city is covered by good and very good services, and these levels often include middle and older areas and inequality in access to services. A city is evident in the new city of Sahand. Therefore, considering the high population of the new city of Sahand and the important role of this city in attracting the population of the mother city of Tabriz, it requires planning and special attention to the creation and design of various functions of urban public services, especially in areas with poor and very poor access levels.

Research Problem: 

The development of modern technologies has become a global common infrastructure and priority due to its environmental, economic and social advantages. Due to the increase in population and expansion of the man-made environment and turning to architecture and interior design, the demand for energy for various purposes is increasing day by day. Therefore, the intelligent use of renewable energy plays an important role in improving the sustainability and energy efficiency in architectural design.

Research Question: 

What effect does the geometry of the window and the use of optical shelves have on the reception and optimal use of natural light?

 The purpose of the present research is the feasibility of using new technologies, including optical racks, in architectural design, emphasizing the approach of increasing the efficiency of renewable energy (sunlight) in Arian Tower, Hamedan.  Research method Applied research has a quantitative nature and data analysis method is combined, descriptive-analytical and simulation. Collecting information is done by field surveys in the space of Aryan Tower and collecting data with devices such as lux meters. By using Design Builder and Ecotect software, the role of light shelves on providing natural lighting in Arian Tower is investigateThe Most Important.

 The investigations carried out on the building unit show that the internal parts of the plan do not receive any natural light and this problem causes the increase in energy consumption. It is because the lamps are turned on to provide lighting. By installing a light ledge, which is one of the methods of using renewable energy, an attempt was made to bring the light to the depth of the plan, and this system performed well in performing its task and received the Green Star certificate. Finally, it was concluded that the use of optical shelf has a significant effect in reducing the cold and heat load and especially increasing the lighting load.

In today's era, transportation as one of the most effective components covers all aspects of urban life, it has found a special role and position as one of the most important tools of development. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and exploratory in terms of its nature and analytical method. In order to collect data, a questionnaire and Delphi technique and document-library studies were used. The findings of the research showed that among the 20 main factors affecting the social sustainability of urban transportation in Isfahan city, 12 variables are known as key and influential. that these variables have the most influence and the least influence on the future development of social sustainability of urban transportation and include the factors of supporting the movement of women and children, the existence of supporting regulations for social security and infrastructures, the ability to provide For disabled people, support for the security and safety of disabled people and equal access to resources, support for the promotion and improvement of the quality of social life, the ability to provide for low-income groups, the access of society to financial and life insurance services, the ability to support security and safety Social, supporting the reduction of pollutants, supporting and encouraging the use of public transportation, supporting employment. The results of the research show that due to the high influence of the factors supporting the movement of women and children, the existence of social safety regulations and infrastructures, the adoption of rational policies regarding the social sustainability of urban transportation by The officials of Isfahan city can determine the directions of success or failure of sustainable social indicators of urban transportation in Isfahan city. In conclusion, solutions are provided to improve the current situation, which require the serious attention of managers and urban planners.

Future studies have attracted the attention of domestic researchers since about a decade ago. This knowledge has not yet been properly institutionalized in the country due to the lack of deepening it in the layers of policy-making, planning, and regulation and the lack of the necessary intellectual and cultural infrastructure, unlike developed countries, its importance and necessity have not been realized. This research aims to review Iranian researchers' studies and identify future studies' indicators. In terms of the type and nature of this research, it is qualitative. It is descriptive and analytical research and has been carried out with a meta-study approach. In this approach, domestic studies and research were first reviewed and 66 final articles were selected. After that, these sources and research were analyzed to select appropriate information. The main information of the texts is extracted in the form of coding and combined with the qualitative findings. Finally, using the extracted codes, the framework of urban future studies is presented. In this framework, four main approaches are identified. A process approach and participatory approach seek to increase the participation and cooperation of stakeholders and advocacies. The holistic and long-term approach seeks to create flexible, resilient, and more practical programs and produce knowledge in the long-term and medium-term programs. A comprehensive and flexible decision-making and planning approach is based on detailed knowledge and analysis of the planning environment. Finally, the approach of preparation for possible futures is based on understanding possible futures and better preparation to face the future.

The physical growth of cities entails various economic, physical, and environmental consequences. Among these, smart urban growth, as a desirable form of development, leads to a reduction in problems across different dimensions. Therefore, a proper understanding and recognition of urban expansion in current and future conditions are crucial and necessary for efficient management in the areas of urban environmental protection and physical development, particularly in the case of Aligudarz City. This research is both practical in terms of its objectives and analytical and exploratory in nature. The present article aims to elucidate the growth of smart cities with a future-studiesd approach in various dimensions, including economic, social, managerial, physical, environmental, and transportation aspects, specifically in Aligudarz City. The results of the analysis of cross-sectional effects indicate that the congestion index for existing trends is 98%, indicating a high influence of variables on each other. In the discussion of scenarios, the results demonstrate that there is a gap between the urban community of Aligudarz and smart growth. Such an approach allows urban growth to continue along the same path, paving the way for horizontal expansion of the city and resulting in further destruction of agricultural lands, increased construction costs, unsustainable municipal incomes, increased poverty, marginalization, and so on.

The principle of privacy and its subsets, including hierarchy, introversion, and architectural integration with nature, are evident in traditional house architecture, especially in the warm and dry climate of central Iran. This research has been conducted using descriptive and analytical methods with practical aims and employing qualitative inference methods and field analysis of indigenous housing in the city of Yazd. Four case studies of traditional houses in this city (Aloumi House, Golshan House, Marvaj House, and Rasoulian House) have been selected as case studies and qualitatively examined. Data collection was also carried out through library studies and field observations. Despite the principle of privacy being present in all regions of Iran's climate, this architectural element has greater significance in warm and dry climates. Privacy is manifested through introverted architecture, the use of porches, octagonal spaces, corridors, and the presence of a central courtyard to open up the privacy of semi-private spaces towards the courtyard. The findings indicate that while some features related to the principle of privacy in contemporary houses with small dimensions and urban density and in the form of apartment housing are not applicable, some elements of indigenous architecture towards preserving privacy have the potential for capacity assessment in adapting to contemporary housing. Not placing parallel exit doors, designing entrance spaces, and paying attention to circulation in a way that private spaces such as bedrooms and bathrooms are separated from more public spaces like reception areas, bathrooms, and kitchens, attention to the position of private space in the Iranian house, and the lack of compatibility of open kitchen formations with this principle are some aspects that can be considered in contemporary houses and steps towards adapting the principle of privacy in modern architecture for building housing in contemporary and even future cities.

Following the rapid growth of urbanization, the development and expansion of cities, urban centers and old structures have undergone physical-spatial changes and as a result, many socio-economic deficiencies. Many approaches have been considered so far in order to face these textures and have been proposed in their evolution from urban reconstruction to urban regeneration. In this regard, the neighborhood-centered regeneration approach is placed in a classification of urban regeneration that proposes new forms of intervention and participation of local communities in urban regeneration for a new age where traditional methods have failed and has potentials to provide valuable capacities and provide knowledge. It is local and popular. . For this purpose, in this research, it has been tried to systematically and systematically identify and analyze the key drivers effective on the regeneration of the worn-out fabric of Shamsabad neighborhood of Tabriz, emphasizing the neighborhood-centric approach. The research method in the current study is mixed (quantitative-qualitative) with an analytical-exploratory nature. In this research, first, with the environmental survey and Delphi technique, 44 primary drivers were extracted in three different areas, and then, using the Delphi method of managers, the matrix of effects was extracted. The intersection of components is formed. In the next step, matrix analysis has been done through Mic-Mac software. According to the high score of direct and indirect effects of the factors, ten main factors were identified as key drivers effective on the regeneration of the worn-out fabric of Shamsabad neighborhood of Tabriz, emphasizing the neighborhood-centric approach. Also, based on the results of the public impact matrix, the variables of the social sector with the highest score have had the greatest impact in the direction of regeneration with a neighborhood-oriented approach in the studied area.

Due to their dynamic nature and being involved in various social, economic, cultural, managerial, etc. issues, cities have always faced problems and bottlenecks in their growth and development. One of these problems is the inefficient urban contexts, which require trade, models and new methods of urban planning to organize them to prevent further disturbances. Therefore, the purpose of this research and analysis of drivers and strategies of place quality is to realize urban regeneration in the separated urban area of Naysar (in the city of Sanandaj) to achieve this important goal. This research is applied in terms of its purpose and according to the investigated cases, the investigations on that descriptive-analytical method and using the techniques of environmental scanning and Delphi are used for identifications and indicators. Then, the semi-structured questionnaire was distributed among 40 experts and experts in the field of urban issues, and the obtained data were analyzed through MICMAC and Scenario Wizard software. The results of the research showed that the urban system sprays unstable conditions, especially in the part of the worn out and inefficient fabric of the separated urban area of Naysar (in the city of Sanandaj). Also, based on the analysis, 20 factors were identified as key drivers for improving the quality of places in creating the acceptance of sustainable urban regeneration in Naysar. Also, out of a total of 4039 cell judgments, 128 strongly limiting effects, 362 weakly limiting effects, 723 weakly limiting effects, 1801 no interactions, 65 strong enhancing effects, 304 moderate enhancing effects, and 656 weak enhancing effects were made to avoid spatial quality. They were stable in regeneration.

In this research, the role of smart cities and stakeholders in the development and utilization of smart city technologies for achieving future cities was examined. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on urban management and the need to eliminate or restrict harmful phenomena in people's daily urban life were investigated.   Using a theoretical framework and conducted research, the effective factors in smart urban management in dealing with pandemic diseases in Karaj city were identified as "smart innovation," "smart energy control," "smart transportation and communications," "smart sustainability," "smart governance," "smart participation," and "smart information system." The results of the one-sample t-test indicate that, from the perspective of urban experts and managers, the variables "improving public transportation system through online and internet-based projects," "access to information and data needed by citizens through a display," and "improving integrated travel planning through mobile internet platforms" had the highest average scores. From the perspective of healthcare professionals, the variables "benefiting from expert opinions outside the urban management structure," "organizing collective webinars for reporting at the local level by citizens to urban management institutions," and "access to information and data needed by citizens through a display" had the highest average scores, indicating the importance and significance of these components in the target population. In fact, these results indicate that the development of smart cities and the utilization of new technologies in urban management can be highly effective in dealing with pandemic crises such as the COVID-19 epidemic. For example, through smart approaches, communication, energy control, innovation, and public participation can be improved in urban management. Finally, based on the obtained results, it is recommended that urban management in the intervention area (Karaj city) should focus on the development of smart transportation, the establishment of smart geographic information systems, and the promotion of smart participation. Additionally, it would be beneficial for urban managers and professionals (especially in Karaj city) to consider these seven factors specifically in their managerial decision-making when facing pandemic crises.
