The urbanization process and urban growth in different parts of the world result from the interconnected interactions between factors and various socioeconomic, political, technological, geographical, cultural, global and local issues. Accordingly, identifying the driving and shaping factors of the growth of cities is vital for urban planning and sustainable development, especially in developing countries, which is used as a means of predicting future trends, controlling and guiding the growth of the city, organizing the future development of the city and eventually efficiently and purposefully managing the city. The main objective of this study is to identify the driving and shaping factors of the biophysical and socio-economic growth of Tehran metropolis. In order to achieve this goal, five main stages are taken into consideration, including the production of land use maps, land cover to study the land use spatial-temporal changes, land cover in Tehran and its surrounding areas using satellite images, identifying driving factors of urban growth using logistic regression, using a factor ecology approach to investigate the human factors effective on Tehran landscape, calculating spatial metrics for quantization of the structure and characteristics of the landscape pattern in Tehran metropolis using Fragstatas software and investigating the relationship between urban growth pattern and social areas using multivariate regression. The results indicate that the distance from the roads and the commercial center of Tehran in the period 2000 to 2014 is the most significant biophysical factor shaping the growth pattern of Tehran metropolis, and among the obtained five socioeconomic components, the population density and employment components have the most effect on urban growth pattern in Tehran metropolis.

Today, the weakness of poverty Measuring and individual-based approaches to poverty survey in cities have been revealed to almost everyone. It can be said that the realization and analysis of poverty in urban areas requires adding spatial and temporal dimension of the problem When it comes to poverty, spatial or locational dimension should be considered. This paper It has been done with use of descriptive and analytical method and based on the statistical block data of Tehran metropolis in the three censuses of 1375-1385 and 1390 to Display the changes and evolution in poverty and its dynamics, to present the spatial pattern of poverty mobility in this metropolis. The results of the study, which have been obtained using local moron statistics and spatial autocorrelation, show that poverty in Tehran metropolitan area has been moving towards clustering over the course of the study period and from a dispersed condition to a converging and clustered condition, That, the amount of Moran statistics is 0.31 for 1375, 0.41 for 1385 and 0.78 for 1390 It also confirms this matter.

In the study area, Shahr-e-Ray industrial zone, south of Tehran, petroleum activities have led to aquifer pollution, so that in some parts the thickness of a light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) on the surface of the groundwater reaches to more than 20 meters. In this regard, estimation of thickness, density and viscosity of LNAPL, is of great importance to understand the quality of petroleum products of aquifer. Regarding the results of measurement, the range of LNAPL thickness in the aquifer vary between 2.73 to 14.305 m and the range of relative density (LNAPL to water) vary 0.78 to 0.83 and the range of viscosity vary 0.60 to 1.91 cst. According to the result in 10 wells the highest thickness of LNAPL is in the eastern and northeastern regions of the study area.

The process of urban development and the process of textual changes, especially in the historical and central regions of the cities, has undergone a variety of ideas in the last century, based on the conditions of place and time and developmental policies and with different ideas in the course of its changes, diversity And the multiplicity of worn-out tissues and various components that cause tissue inefficiency, On the one hand, and the potential of the tissue and how it is used, as well as the methods of decision making and intervention, in spite of having the goal of the single developmental development of the city.

In order to realize efficient urban management, systemic and comprehensive approach should be applied to urban management and systematic communication to urban development factors. One of these factors is the managers of the municipal services themselves. Professional development of managers is an action that improves managerial performance by improving manager's knowledge or skills and changing his/her attitude. In this regard, the present study uses a qualitative research approach to study the factors affecting the professional development of Tehran municipality managers in order to provide sustainable urban development with the development of urban managers. For this purpose, deep interviews were conducted with 23 top officials and senior managers of Tehran municipality. Interpretative analysis was used to analyze data from interviews. The validity of the research findings was verified by the members (interviewees). To determine the reliability or compatibility of the coding, the retest reliability method and the agreement method between the two coders (intra-subject agreement) were used. The results of interviews showed that professional development of managers includes development in both individual and organizational dimensions. In the dimension of individual development, there are three levels of development of psychological characteristics, the development of specialized knowledge and management and moral development. In the area of organizational development, the development of structural and organizational features must take place. In the area of development of psychological characteristics, factors such as critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, risk taking and self-development of managers must be developed. In the field of professional and managerial knowledge, the needs of professional development of municipal managers include the ability to use technology, mastery of decision making principles and problem solving, stress management, team building capabilities, management of organizational conflicts, the ability to communicate effectively, and the principles and techniques of negotiation. For professional development of managers, organizational structural development including attention to talent management, organizational support, performance management, learner organization, organizational climate, career path and networking and in the area of developing educational processes of the organization, such as coaching, practical learning, successor and organizational learning should be considered and developed.

In the Contemporary era, world of Islam is faced with violence, instability and suppression of freedom. Saudi Arabia plays a very important role in maintaining these conditions. Saudi prevents the spread of Iranian cultural strategies in the Muslim world. Therefore, the question arises why the Saudis are trying to prevent the spread of Iran cultural policies in geo-culture of the Islamic world? Many to answer the question highlight the differences between Shia and Sunni. But we will prove that Iran's cultural strategies arising from its role as Umm al-Qura and based on this role, Iran wants to change the status quo the Muslim world. So, one of the main duties of Iran is supporting of all the Muslims to create unity in geo-culture of the Islamic world. For this reason Saudi Arabia is trying to prevent the unity of the Islamic world through actions such as the spread of Wahhabism and Iran phobia.

The statistical sample involved 321 citizens of District 1 of Shiraz. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. To achieve the research objective (determining the status of Smart growth indicators in District 1 of Shiraz), a factor analysis test was used. The results of Bartlett's test of sphericity showed that there was a significant relationship between the urban Smart growth indexes studied in the study (with 0.000Sig), in fact, there was a significant correlation between variables. in the Criterion of the four factors density, "net residential density" with the factor load of 0.760, "public transport access or walking to work" with factor load of 0.820 and " using public transportation or walking to access the CBD” with: 0.790 were identified as the most important factors. Moreover, in the factor accessibility criteria, "rate of apartment living" with the factor load of 0.821, "ease of access to public transportation" with factor load of 0.570 and "rate of using public transport or walking for access to CBD", 0.539 were identified as the most important factors. Finally, in the field of mixed land use, "percentage of households in residential units", "walking or public transportation access rate to recreational facilities" and "ease of access to public transportation" were identified as the most important factors.

Social Capital as one of the most prominent factors and executive agents of any country, plays a crucial part in a sustainable development of every region. Thus, addressing various aspects of social capital have proved significantly important in urban development studies. Social Capital is the way people interact with each other, their participation in civil affairs, their common beliefs and values which can decrease time, economic and social expenditures.Hense the concept of Social capital (with natural capital, economic capital and human capital) is presented which is composed of organizations, relationships, attitudes and values that leads to interaction of people. These human interactions encounter challenges in regions where there are racial and ideological differences and Ahwaz city is not an exception to this rule.This study is assessing the correlation between Social capital and sustainable development in two neighborhoods of Lashkar-abad and Kianpars. The current research is a case study which is conducted in the descriptive, analytical and correlational approach by using questionnaire. The results of this study show that the quantity of Pearson in this correlation in 0.891 and the direction of the correlation is positive, the amount of Sig in this correlation is 0.00 which is less than 0.1, so the statistical relationships of these two variables with the accuracy is meaningfully 99%.

Tehran's territory is about 23 cities, 237 villages and hundreds of activities, covering a total of about 2 million people, which, along with national conditions, continues to attract immigrants, population growth and sustainability. Spread of official and informal settlements if we ignore the harassment of the northern part of Tehran, the southern zone is the focus of the poor and dense lives that seems to be the mechanism of civil disarmament of urban and regional development programs, Acceptance of this type of residence has made.In this article, referring to the studies and the secondary data collected in the field of social and cultural issues of the Tehran metropolitan area (especially the social and cultural impact assessment of the comprehensive plan of privacy) and SWOT analysis of about 30 experts in this area, summing up Challenges and socio-cultural issues of Tehran metropolitan area, the strategies of macroeconomic stability and sustainable development are based on the assessment of the socio-cultural impact of privacy in Tehran.

The rapid growth of urbanization has caused many problems for citizens over the past few decades, which has endangered the health of cities. The purpose of a healthy city is a social and physical environment with facilities that make it possible to perform all life activities with ease and with optimal efficiency.The purpose of this research is urban planning to create a healthy city in Bandar Imam Khomeini. This research is descriptive-analytical and data collection has been done in two documentary and survey methods. Excel and SPSS software was used for indexing and computing, and GIS was used to map the map. In the end, using the SWOT analysis model for the study area, using field findings and experts' views, we will present strategies for achieving a healthy city in the city. in this research, the port city of Imam Khomeini is considered for five health indicators (social, economic, environmental, health and cultural). The results of this study indicate that the current status of five health indicators (social, economic, environmental, health and cultural) in Imam Khomeini port is in good condition and the standards of a healthy city are not well-suited. the results of the SWOT model showed that, in terms of weighting points, opportunities in planning the healthy city in Imam Khomeini port had the highest score, which means that in the study area, while the standards of a healthy city are far from the current status, but with the help of planned strategies, Bandar Imam Khomeini has the ability to meet the standards of a healthy city.

Today, urban transformations have led to general changes due to increasing sensitivities to human and environmental well-being. So far, there have been many approaches to urban transformation that most notably of them include urban revitalization, urban redevelopment, and urban regeneration.Regeneration approach has a more comprehensive and integrated vision for solving urban problems, especially Brownfield which has many opportunities for urban transformation and improving people's quality of life. But its regeneration faces challenges in clean-up and redevelopment. To overcome these challenges, the strategy of urban catalyst can be applied due to being an instrument within the strategies of urban transformation that comes out of the texture and rehabilitates that. This research presents the concepts and basic requirements of urban catalyst projects and their planning (political, management and leadership, legal, economic, social and environmental), design (underlying factors, Sense of location and identity) and implementation (4Ps model or public-private-people partnership) components for the acceleration of urban development. At the end, with the knowledge that every city has unique characteristic and it is not possible to adopt a single instruction for all cities, however, regarding to the global experiences, a common Brownfield regeneration process with the help of urban catalyst projects is presented by a proposed model in this study. If projects are understood and developed in accordance with what the city needs, they can deeply affect on the inefficient urban areas regeneration especially Brownfield.

Achieving the balance and reducing the inequality in rural settlements requires studying and identifying the resources and facilities of these settlements. Indeed, spatial analysis of development identifies the inequality and deprivation of different areas and prioritizes actions to improve the quality of life.The present study is based on the purpose, applied and research method of descriptive-analytic. The required data are obtained using 29 indicators in various dimensions and by documentary method. The study area is Damghan and the statistical population of the study is all the inhabited villages of Damghan. The research indicators weighted using F' ANP model and data analyzed using VIKOR multivariable decision making method. Cluster analysis used in order to classify the studied villages, from the aspect of developmental levels and analysis of their inequalities, and linear regression used to analysis the effectiveness of the components (emphasized in the conceptual model) on the final index of development in the area of the study.The results of the study indicate that the development in rural areas of the study has not been uniformly and fairly. The spatial pattern of this situation has become unbalanced. In this pattern, population and facilities in some villages are overprovision and in the others are under provision. This has caused immigration, in particular among young people, and thereby eliminating the age and gender balance, undermining the economic foundations and raising unemployment rates. Also, this developmental inequality in the rural districts of Damghan city was most affected by two factors: "access to welfare services and the level of economic participation".
