Urban spaces refer to the man-made spaces which possess a special order for human behavior and activities. One of these spaces is the surrounding space of public transportation stations. The subway stations, although potentially encompass many different groups of people, few social interactions take place in these spaces. However, an appropriate designing of these spaces, as an interface between the inside and outside of the cities, can cause much more activities to be continued in the public places. In this regard, by making the surrounding areas of the subway stations be public space, the potential for increasing the socialization capacity of the mentioned spaces will be provided. Sadeghieh Subway Station can be considered as the most important subway station in Tehran, which on the one hand is the rail port of Tehran's western entrance, and on the other is the port for railway journeys inside the city. The main concern of this study is to assess the success or failure of the interventions made by the municipality for changing the surrounding area of the Sadeghieh Subway Station into a public space, and examine the amount of the area's improvement into a desirable space. The method used in this study is survey, in which the data were collected using questionnaire and interview.  The study's population is all people who use Sadeghieh Subway, and the sample size for the study were considered 140 subjects. In data analyzing phase, using SPSS software and parametric one-sample t-test, we found out that in such cases as transportation, security, Pedestrian infrastructure, vitality and attractivity, rate to remain in the space, the amount of traffic crossing the sidewalk, walking group, the lighting, the vendors, the cleaning, pavement structure and climatic elements after the municipality's actions to change the space into a pedestrian-oriented space have a progressive process can be observed, but in such cases as mix use, recreational activity, readability and design furniture no significant change was seen, and in some cases the results were counterproductive.

Introduction and Objective: Organizational knowledge is whatever an organization's members know about processes, products, according to the definition, services, customers, markets, and competitors. (civi, 2001: 166) Thus, in today commercial world, most organizational value is based on intangible assets.  Ability to identify and estimate the value of supply is vital for organizations. (Chang, 2004: 147) Social capital is among individual and organizational.

Introduction and Objective: Regarding scant capitation and inappropriate distribution of greenbelt in Shooshtar, using a descriptive-analytical method, the focus of the present study is applied issues. Applying the geographical information system (GIS) and Analytical Hierarchy Processing (AHP), this study tries to present an appropriate model for optimum distribution of greenbelt based on location criteria and population needs.Methods: To carry out this, the spatial data gathered for each criterion were turned into convertible format for GIS to apply the model and conduct the spatial analyses through forming the database and new information layers. Finally, for modeling each of the criteria based on their importance in locating greenbelt, each information layer was given an appropriate differentia in Expert Choice Software.Results: The results of the synthesis of weighed layers prioritized the lands of the studied area to develop greenbelt based on the importance of each layer in locating the greenbelt.Conclusions: Then, these lands were compared with the control map and it was found that the rich and good lands were located near the residential areas, cultural, religious, and educational centers. These lands were far from the operations of available parks. In addition, those lands having good or average quality were located on the way to contact networks, near the administrative centers and the river. These lands are also away from the available parks. Since these lands are state possessions, it is not difficult to change their usages. Another type of lands suitable for greenbelt use is those of low degree of appropriateness. However, these lands are not suggested for greenbelt due to their long distance from residential areas, being located in bumpy areas in the suburbs of the city and their private possessions.
