Tourism forms a major part of the world economy and it is one of the biggest industries in the world. During the last decades, the importance of tourism has increased internationally both in respects to the number of the tourists and in respect to the country's income. This improvement has been distinguished. One of the main factors attracting the international and internal tourists is associated to the equipment of this industry. Among these equipment, residential centers, as the origin and the end of the daily Circulation in cites are of great importance. Therefore, having an ideal distribution and a correct location of them is of a high importance, as the correct location of them lend to the satisfaction of the tourists and improvement of tourism industry and the economical growth and increasing income.Research method of the present study has been descriptive analysis and the necessary data are collected through observations, interviews, and the review of the designs of Shiraz city and 1/2000 maps obtained from this city. Shiraz is selected in the present study as a case study because it includes various tourism centers. Then the conditions of the hotels of this city are surveyed based on GIS. After finding the inappropriate distribution of hotels and lack of them, suitable sites for establishing new hotels in this city are locates based on AHP model through applying these in GIS software sites.

Ahvaz Karoon River, 18 meters above sea level, and is spread on both sides. The flat land of the river city in the rainy season, at the time of flooding of residential areas causes enormous human and financial losses. In this paper, formulas, coefficients basin and topographic maps as well as aerial photographs and geological materials and set tables and charts related to the area of quantitative methods were used. The result showed that the correlation coefficient between the two variables catchment basin area and elevation, of the type that was partially reversed by increasing the relative area decreases with increasing height reduction variable and it is the cumulative relative area. Due to the gentle slope of the Karoon River in Ahvaz aging process is caused by deposition of material and forming islands.

During last decades, progressive migration to cities has provided the context of alteration in different dimension of spatial structure in urban neighborhoods. From social dimension it has resulted in the formation of neighborhoods cultural, ethnic and communal variation. So, social formation of integrated neighborhoods faced difficulty. Sustainable social oriented development is one of the main dimensions of Sustainable development that actual attention to physical and spiritual demands and human munificence of individuals can be one of the most important characteristic of it. Public participation and people oriented management, genesis and reinforcement of social capitals and their persuasion in rectitude of sustainability is one of the main aims of it. So, one of its important necessities is acceptance of all people and their cultural variation from the urban managers and people themselves. In this paper, that is about spatial structure of Darabad district, by stressing the important role of human being in development in different dimensions, we have tried to recognize situation of neighborhood based on existence of present cultural – ethnic and economic groups. It offers guidelines relying on acceptance of cultural variation and creation and permanency social assets in order to create consensus and solidarity between inhabitants.

Parks and urban green spaces are the most important affecting factors in urban social stability. Preparing suitable possibilities and equipments of urban parks related to citizens’ ideals cause the increased satisfaction of park users. This research is aimed to evaluate the urban parks (named, Valiasr and Seraj) and suiting their potential for using the citizens of Ghaemshahr (Mazandaran province). The methodology was as attributive -analyzing and surveying and the findings achieved with submitting 117 questionnaires to the park users. Evaluation of satisfaction of citizens to park requirements was conducted based on guidance of derivation and analysis data. The findings show that in both parks, furniture and safety were moderate but cultural feasibilities were weaker in park Seraj; while, no components of park requirements were favorable in these parks. As a whole, in both parks, satisfaction of citizens from whole requirements of park was moderate. At the end, in order to further use of citizens, the potentials to suit the use of requirements and their components, together with other defects and development potentials have been noted.

The construction of new facilities, especially health care facilities, is an important issue in all countries. In depth study is needed to construct new hospitals in any region, since it must assess the best places in terms of spatial, temporal, environmental, social and economic characteristics. So in this study, after preparing the required layers of information (including the distance to arterial roads, distance to faults, population density, pollution and travel time) in GIS, the weight of each layers are determined by AHP methodology that is constructed by expert opinion. Base on the selected criteria, the estimated weights, and the results of PSO algorithm for the construction of a hospital, 30 desirable sites are specified. The final step in the choosing of optimal location is the implementation of PROMETHEE method for the 30 proposed sites. The proposed combination procedure is designed and implemented in a case study. With the addition of a new hospital at the optimum site, the coverage of area index improved over about 5.7 percent that indicates the superiority of our proposed model.

Identifying, ranking index and location of services standards are very important in Urban planning and Urban design. This subject is actually more appropriate for managers and officials in selected urban centers which will help them create better places. The purpose of this article is location of medical- health centers in Birjand city by using the multi-parameter decision making process (ANP). Research method is descriptive-analytic, using geographical information system (GIS), and network analysis process (ANP). The Prioritization criteria and positioning based on the two analysis of processes abovementioned, were used from Matlab software, Expert Choice and ARC GIS. After the preparation of the required layers, re-classification and weighting of different layers and analysis process were determined. So that, the suggested locations for Medical- health centers in prospective planning were determined and the four key points were founded regarding the criteria used. These places were derived from a weighted combination of nine criteria and places of a higher value in each layer, to be allocated the layer of suitable places, very good place, an area of 6,304,759 square meters, respectively.

One of the most important points in urban system in every country is the condition of population special distribution, that its analyzing is necessary for most of the environmental planning. In our country in recent decades, inconsistency in population locative distribution has been multiplied because of rural migration to middle cities and migration to big cities. We know of inconsistency in population scale produces, inconsistency in other parts such as economic, social and political activities; so we should have new planning for population distribution. In this research, different models and indices such as "Primate City Indexes, Concentration Indexes, Entropy Model, Rank-Size Rule, and the Nearest Neighborhood Analyzing method" are used for searching about the process of changes in urban systems, population dispersion and the location of settlements in Esfahan province during 1335-1385 are analyzed.The results show that although urban system of province is going toward consistency during the last 50 years, but inconsistency and disharmony in urban hierarchy and population special distribution is obvious because Esfahan is the first city and there is a big difference between its population and the other cities. Also, according to the Nearest Neighborhood Analysis method, the pattern of cities dispersion in this province is random and without planning. It is important to note that this analyzing is useful for other provinces.

Today, urban the concept of public spaces is an essential issue in urban planning and has important role because these places provide spaces for social life of cities. Urban public space should be provide in the presence of different social groups like women in society. In this paper by putting an emphasis on the necessity of effective presence of special social groups attempt was made by investigating an urban public space (Ardabil) to study the rate of desirability of the urban space for the presence of women. Then we had many indicators to examine the utility of the case study (center of Ardebil city) for women with use of questionnaire by studying about urban spaces and women experiences, needs and their problems in cities. This paper aims to Recognize and evaluate urban spaces appropriate for women based on the findings and results of a field study that has been prepared of center of Ardebil city. Finally after performing the appropriate statistical analysis (chi-square and regression tests), the relationship between dependent and independent variables were discussed. Results showed linear correlation between defined indicators and the women satisfaction. Urban space can be effective on improving social justice and if the attention to urban space has not been made, it can increase social restrictions. It is hoped that the city management take the basic steps in moving towards a more practical way for desirability of the urban space with attention to this issue.
