Nowadays with increasing population growth and the tendency of large cities to accept immigrants, the lack of public parking spaces in these cities is obvious. The inclusion of public parking spaces in developing countries is one of the significant issues in city’s transportation system. Ardabil is one of the centers of the country's newly-established provinces that due to deprivation and the lack of necessary substructures in transportation section, proportional to the increase of number of the automobiles and it's narrow streets (that according to some people they were built 60 years ago for carriages to cross), it hasn't changed into a megacity yet and is the first city which forms the traffic point of view has outrun all the other megacities. This city which has old and inefficient structures frequently lacks methodical maps and the essential space to park the vehicles especially during rush hours. These factors along with the characteristics of being a tourism site necessitate building of parking lots for removing and controlling the traffic in this city. Therefore, in this research to prevent the traffic jam inside the city, the Analysis of Hierarchical Procedures (AHP) and Weight Co-covering Index were used to launch locating of parking lots in Ardabil's district 2. Attending the studies that have been done in the field of outer layer in AHP Procedure and Weight Co-covering index, we observe that the efficiency of The Analysis of Hierarchical Procedure (AHP) is remarkably important. Since, this procedure is flexible, we can launch producing the maps with low risk to high risk. While, in Weight Co-covering Index the layer can be divided to 3 or 4 unsuitable categories to suitable ones, outer layer produced by this procedure conforms to the layer produced by AHP with average risk. Most of the selected sites for building parking lots by these two procedures have been located in barren lands.

Land use planning program has always been the most important factor in urban planning, because it determines land use and spatial structure of cities, on the one hand, and on the other hand it also determines the economic value of each piece of land. Therefore, different perspectives are presented on ways of using this important resource that are important regardless of quality of life issues, while the quantity, per capita and access are considered. In the recent decades changes have happened to the urban planning. Consequently, land use planning has been neglected and attention to land quality issues were rare. There have been times when solutions have been offered for improving it, however, inefficient and inadequate. In this regard, approaches to sustainable development with emphasis on efficient use of land has provided a new approach in urban planning and has been followed by the most important element of it-Land use planning. In this paper it has been tried to choose most important indicators that are effective on urban land use; also this indicators were adapted on sustainable devel0opment then they were used for evaluation of urban sustainability of urban land use. Since the protection of monuments and their privacy were of the most important elements of sustainable development, indicators were chosen with emphasis on protection of monuments and privacy compliance date. Further we were trying to combined these indicators with other indicators of urban sustainable development. For this purpose order maps showing space density were used to determine Kernel density estimation (KDE) and for combination of layers and providing the final map on AHP model. The results show that districts located in the eastern half-New city districts- have more stability than the districts located in the western half in city of Susa.

These factors play important roles in the physical development of the morphology of the city, including topography and the geomorphologic destructions. The goal of study is to find the natural limitations and to suggest the suitable spots in order to develop the physical width of Paveh. The research spot includes the Paveh district plus a further one thousand meter areas within the vicinity of the township based on the information collected in 2005. The study is to examine the physical limitations of Paveh across 50 years where the two periods included were 1955 to 1992 and 1992 to 2005. After providing the topographic layers data (steep, the direction, and the height), geomorphologic layers (crack, spring, and water threshold), the AHP models and GIS Microsoft were used to show the physical development in the different careers relating to geomorphology and topography. The results show that the physical development of city has not been suitable in the geomorphologic, topographic destructions and the city is endangered by environment. Furthermore, the study is to find the physical development of the city in the light of the previous careers by the predicted process. It is also compared with AHP scientific method and the most suitable spot is expected in the affective factors (layers).

Enhancement of quality of life has remained either explicit or implicit goal of public policy in almost all societies for several centuries. Quality of life has been the focus of numerous studies but a universally acceptable definition has not been arrived yet. To some, it may mean how happy they are and to others, it may mean the level of economic status, education, health or security. Many researchers agree that the concept of quality of life is too broad to describe. It is impossible to develop one universally acceptable definition of the concept. The purposes of present study are identification of main constituent components and measurement of quality of life for residents living in the study area. The study has been conducted in Nowshahr city in Mazandaran province in the north of Iran. Nowshahr is one of the small cities of Iran that in 2012 year had almost 45000 residents. Methodology of the research is mixed-method. In order to collect the data, we used documentary and surveys methods and for analysis of data researchers used quantitative-analytical approach and correlation analysis. The results of the study indicated that the objective dimension constituent components of quality of life in the study area had six factors or components including social interactions, economic conditions, availability of facilities and services, physical condition, environmental safety and participation in affairs. These factors in total, have explained 53.2 percent of the total variance in the dependent variable in the objective quality of life explained. In the subjective dimension, main constituent component of quality of life in the city Nowshahr represented five factors, in order of importance, including feelings of worth, sense of place, subjective well-being, social networks and sense of security. These factors in total explained 60.98 percent of the variance in the dependent variable. Moreover, the data analyzed using cumulative indicators of quality of life showed that in objective dimension the scores obtained was 2.726 and in the subjective dimension scores obtained was equal to 2.389, which are lower than the median of the common means of m=3. Accordingly, both the objective and subjective dimension of resident's quality of life are not adequate conditions in city of Nowshahr especially in subjective dimension.

Presently, the dynamic system of cities constantly change and transform. The result is the dilapidated structure of the city. This tissue of the old Nuclear cities has not been reviewed across the time and has suffered from exhaustion and lack of efficiency. However, some of them have been built in the recent period without observing regulations and City Planning regulations. Now facing with many issues and creating problems to the other places of the city which are also transferring, these places need a further attention. The present research is intended to investigate strengthening the old city districts. Firouz Abad city is the focus of the research in which the two districts of Barband and Phaz-e-Yek (phase one) are chosen as the dilapidated and restructured areas, respectively. The method of inquiry is based on the goal and the level of practicality and is based on the nature of the research which is a descriptive method. Information was collected through library resources an annotated sources using the question letter Interview.An analysis of comparative information was conducted after the track in the quarters and then the dimensions of social quarters, Economic and skeletal structures were all determined. The results show that with regard to the conditions in the districts studied, the residents asked in the field showed improvement indicators of their life. Furthermore, they showed feeling responsibility for problems in the neighborhood; meaningful difference were not observed between the feeling of the residents of the two areas for improving their areas with respect to the indicators investigated in the present research. On the other hand, skeletal Analysis shows solutions provided by the efficient services offered by the municipality have led to improvements as well as a high level of interest and enthusiasm in participating for providing solutions to the problems.

Aesthetic concern is one of the most important concepts to realization of mental relaxation for citizens. Many of the aesthetic functions which includes environmental convenience, accessibility or permeability, diversity, readability, spatial order, sequence of perspective, perception of space are attractive in the design of urban landscape. Without attention to beautification elements in urban environmental design, physical freshness and liveliness can not be gained. The main objective of this study is determining the optimal strategy, ranking and analysis of aesthetic functions in the 6th district of Tehran. First we used SWOT and ANP for determining the best strategy. Studies show that WO strategy or diversification and conservative strategy is the most important strategy in the district. Then two important variables of Performance and satisfaction of Beautification Organization were Evaluated With emphasis on the seven indexes (number of beautification elements, Locating, shape and form, color, environmental harmony, lighting and readability) by means of SPSS running Pearson’s coefficient of correlation formula. The results show that there is direct relation between satisfaction of citizens and Performance of Beautification Organization which means that, performance increases by increasing satisfaction. In relation with performance index of Beautification Organization, the highest average of performance was located for men and color for women. The Minimum average was the elements’ number index for men and for women. In relation with satisfaction index of Beautification Organization the highest average of satisfaction was for color and the minimum average was lighting. Finally for ranking of regions inside the district, the AHP model was used for surveying performance and satisfaction in regions’ scales. The district 2 was ranked as the highest rank and the district 1 was ranked as the lowest rank on the base of performance and satisfaction of the whole citizens. The results of study showed that Emphasis on urban statues, regional parks, lighting, urban furniture, and land use change of abandoned places and local cleaning and gaining innovative ideas are the most important mechanisms to improve the current situation in district beautification.

No one can ever deny the geomorphologic constrains for physical development of cities as a main task of Geographers and urban planners. Recent socio-economic issues caused rapid disproportionate balance of natural potentials of the city by making lots of consequences and risks. Rapid growth of population and occupying more lands in the city lead to misbalancing between physical growth and desirable agricultural farms and gardens around the cities by causing lots of Irreparable damage to the environment. Therefore, locating suitable land for urban development is necessary. In this research, by using questionnaire, AHP model and Fuzzy model in ARC GIS, constrains and preferable lands for future development of Tuyserkan based on 9 criteria (slope, distance from river, distance from the fault, height, coverage vegetation, land type, land use, and flooding of the ground material) were analyzed and mapped to 5 units of zoning.

Different countries have a different position in terms of economic, political, cultural, security and so on. These factors would determine the global ranking of countries in the geopolitical structure of the world. This position is global geopolitical situation in terms of sum and product of the factors that contribute to determining the geopolitical position which is called geopolitical weight. Factors determine the potential for a significant part of a country determine its geopolitical weight. Territorial potentials, which have important role in determining the weight and geopolitical position of the country as well as the development and independence of their country's strategic capabilities. In this paper, we have tried to study the role of the different provinces of a country's strategic potential of their analysis and their provincial ranking. In this context, the fundamental question is: What are the provinces in terms of territorial strategic capabilities that have the greatest impact on the country's geopolitical weight. This cross - sectional study was conducted in a manner and the form of mixed-method (quantitative - qualitative). Data of the paper have been collected from the literature and documents of the governors and institutions and reputable sites and ministries.
