Spatial Analysis of the Effect of Economic and Physical Components from the Urban Planning Perspective on Trials of the City of Qazvin on Violations of Construction
SAMIRA YOUSEFI, MOJTABA RAFIEIAN, ALI AKBAR TAGHVAEE
Controlling urban structures in order to optimally manage the city is mainly carried out through urban construction regulations, which, despite the various measures of urban management, annually, significant cases of construction violations in cities are reported. In fact, construction violations can be defined as non-compliance with urban construction regulations that threaten the quality of life in cities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between economic and physical factors and the number and amount of construction violations in Qazvin city that by identifying the factors affecting each type of construction violations, a better understanding of the existing status of construction violations can be achieved a
Industrial Revolution and subsequent developments were led to the revolution in urbanization in the second half of the nineteenth century and the revolution changed human settlement in other cities and resulted in an unprecedented expansion of cities. This was an epidemic phenomenon that Iran would not be safe from it. In order to deal with the development and distribution of the city in Iran from mid-century imitation of the western planned systems, comprehensive plans that have in their hearts policies to control and limit urban growth were used. In the form of the comprehensive plans have been accomplished policies of the Green Belt to determine the physical limits of the city. After more than four decades, providing the first comprehens
Extended abstract 1. Introduction The expansion of metropolitan areas has led to several physical, socioeconomic and environmental issues. One of the negative consequences is the intensification of urban heat islands (UHI) phenomenon in urban areas with more moderate climate. Studies on surface UHI have shown that in more arid environments there is a possibility for urban areas to have a lower temperature than the surroundings; a phenomenon that is called surface urban cool islands (SUCI) or surface urban heat sink. Studies on the SUHI have shown that in addition to spatial composition and abundance of land covers, the shape of a land cover and its relative placement to other land covers (spatial configuration) is also important. These stud

Abstract
In presented plans as urban projects, it can be generally seen that there is a considerable gap between goals, implementation actions and the nature of urban planning practice. Planning is not a linear process but a complicated process and involve a great number of actors. Planners, policy makers, urban managers need to act away from political vagaries. In administrative systems of countries such as Iran, up to down decision- making leads to reduction of other actors’ power in front of urban managing powers. This paper seeks to explore the various factors which affect the product of urban planning, factors which are connected to the structure of power in the project’s network. In order to analyze these factors and identify all of them a

Abstract
This Paper attempts to investigate the patterns of land cover changes and also the process of urban growth in Shiraz Metropolitan Area. Since detailed information of current urban processes is required for future developments and managements of urban areas, this study utilizes remote sensing data and landscape metrics, as useful tools to gather information on urban growth and dynamics, in order to examine the spatial pattern of Shiraz metropolitan area (SMA) from 1986 to 2014. Since, the northwestern areas of SMA are superior in terms of ecological advantages, analysis of types and patterns of SMA growth were separately examined for each sector (NW, NE, SE, and SW). Five landscape metrics were used to analyze compactness and dispersion of u
This article has been formed under influence of a set of knowledge of urban development, future studies and ethics using causal layered analysis (CLA)–a well-known methodology for categorization of different viewpoints and considerations regarding futures-so that preferable future of sustainable gets recognized and explicated in line with environmental ethics, whilst a profound understanding of underlying layers of issues such as alternative futures, sustainable city, eco city, green city, compact city, low-carbon city, healthy city, livable city, smart city and factors affecting their formation is achieved. Thus, studying “Sustainable City” in terms of “environmental ethics” is a necessity for appropriate understanding of the fut
Mega redevelopment projects based on partnership planning approach and mixed-use development are considered as solutions for distressed and blighted areas. Despite some public benefits of such projects, they usually result in many challenges including cost overrun, failure to meet the time schedule, social segregation, and social tensions or negative environmental impacts. Megaprojects as extensive physical interventions lead to a space reproduction for that neoliberalism request, through private investment, attraction of creative class and creation of a variety of economic activities. The projects mostly offer four general promises including economic prosperity, place promotion, social, environmental and infrastructure improvement. However
Urban megaprojects has engaged directly or indirectly different activists and beneficiaries including urban authorities, investors, developers, planners, designers, land owners, residents and citizens.
SMART LAND-USE ANALYSIS IN AREAS WITH CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT WITH USING THE MODEL OF LAND USE CONFLICT IDENTIFICATION STRATEGY (LUCIS)(CASE STUDY: 22ND. DISTRICT OF TEHRAN?…

Abstract
During initial evolution of human residences, the balance between human and nature was determined by nature and the relationship between human and nature was one-way. In the first stages of urbanization, humans did not have the required equipment for intervening in nature and upset the balance in it. Even after that, they would refrain from widely modification and destroying of nature when they became narrowly artisan. This balance was unhurt for a long time in history until the 19th century, where this relationship was broken by the rapid advancement of technology and as a result the increase in urbanization. Accordingly, presenting a model in order to preserve the relationship between human and nature in the city seems to be of a great si
This article explores the relation of Iranian ports with their surrounding regions from the geopolitical-spatial perspective since 6th century BC. Content analysis of historical data obtained from written, pictorial and secondary sources is the method used to achieve this aim. The results denote that the geopolitical-spatial evolution of Iranian ports and the surrounding regions can be classified into three general eras: in the first era (from 6th to 15th century), with the domination of the most powerful Iranian states on both sides of the Persian Gulf, the geopolitical-spatial of Iran often had foreland-oriented structure with mutual interaction of ports and hinterlands especially up to regional scale. In the second era (from 16th to 19th

Abstract
Redevelopment of distressed and blighted areas are targeted by most of development policies. However, a number of policies have been changed as the result of the ineffectiveness of the previous experiences, the incompatibility of the development tools and plans, the lack of financial resources or social movements. Large-scale redevelopment projects have usually been considered as the powerful tools for urban revitalization, modernization and implementation of radical plans while many of those were criticized due to their various consequences including social exclusion, inequality, social conflicts, environmental damages, inconsistent scale, etc. Downtown of the City of Mashhad; Samen District, has experienced various physical interventions

Abstract
The increasing rate of urbanization and rate of population growth over the 20th century has led to various problems such as traffic congestion, air pollution, and lack of open and green spaces that have affected the cities and their citizen's life. This condition has led to increasing demands for more land use, homes, and work places, more public transport and mass transit systems and modern infrastructure, so new approaches must be found to better utilize space available. Considered use of underground space creates new methods for solving these challenges. The urban underground spaces have great untapped potentials. If these potentials are managed correctly, it would chip in considerably to the urban sustainable development. Nevertheless s
