Religious tourism and pilgrims are conducted to visit holy sites and do religious ceremonies and are regarded as an economic resource for the religious and historice cities. Since the holy sites are located within the historical context and the central areas of historic cities, they are encountered with structural constraints in terms of access, legebility and overall physical values, thus making planning difficult in these textures. The quality, frequency and variety of services offered in the indoor and the outdoor physical environment have a huge impact on the wellbeing of tourists and could be a factor to encourage them to return and visit again. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the satisfaction of service quality for different economic-social groups and present strategies to address shortcomings. The aim of this study was to determine satisfaction level of indigenous and non-indigenous pilgrims of the Shahcheragh shrine in terms of service quality, facilities, equipments and services inside the shrine and the surrounding urban environment. Data for this study were collected through questionnaires using random sampling method. The analysis of data was undertaken applying statistical tests such as paired comparison tests, ANOVA and non-parametric correlation test. The results show that in the current situation the satisfaction level of indigenous and non-indigenous visitors was reported above average. The satisfaction of tourists was found a function of socio-economic conditions, therefore, practical suggestions are provided by gender, income, place of residence (native-non-native), education and health condition categories.

The study was conducted in order to select proper sites for bus stations in the city of Khorramabad. It is of descriptive-analytic in terms of content and studied items and of applied-developmental in terms of purpose. Primary data was collected by documentary and field research. In order to analyze data and to prepare maps, Arc GIS software was used. Analytic Network Process (ANP) and Fuzzy Logical model to weight the studied indices and to overlap and analyze data, respectively was used in this research. The research results showed that some existing bus stations in the city of Khorramabad are not in appropriate locations, compared with the standard distance of the proposed stations, and they need to be organized. Existing bus stations in the south part of the city and the ones in the northwest part of the city are far away from the existing standards for station spacing (300 to 600 m.), and need optimized localization. Also, the south part of the city is an inappropriate location where there are several bus stations, indicating unfavorable localization of the stations in the city of Khorramabad.

Environment and economic development is essential for a great pillar, now this God-given wealth for various reasons, are tree and unlim.ited, is exploited. On the one hand the urban dimension of sustainable development, the role of environmental factors, according to melancholy lack of realistic economic benefits, has been less attention. In addition to natural factors, human factors had the greatest impact on environmental degradation. This paper discusses the advantages of rail transport compared to road of sustainable development point of view, that for this pUlvose the indices of transport and sustainable urban development were identified. To identify the correlation between the questionnaire and distribute it among the elite and using AMOS software is able to communicate effectively understand them. Then, using a questionnaire distributed among the passengers of the metro line 4 randomly selected alternative in the absence of detected Metro and environmental assessments of various alternatives compared with road transport in terms of fuel consumption, noise and air pollution and other related costs were discussed. At the end due to the effect of environmental wondrous rail transport despite its limitations Metro and the indispensible role in reducing the damages and costs, estimates and estimated economic value of this type of savings compared to road transport and its environmental-economic evaluation, to demonstrate the social value of this infrastructure was proposed.

The basics problems of cities in recent decadesis unequal distribution of resources and population in different parts of the urban. Disruption in the distribution system of urban services centers has been underlyingsocial inequality of citizens in Prosperity of the services.The aim of this research is analyze and measure spatial inequality in Prosperity of the Service 22 urban areas in Sanandaj. The research method is descriptive –analytical and the method of data collection is documentary. Also from quantitative models «TOPSIS», «Shannon entropy", "location factor LQ», «Correlation Coefficients Pearson", " Correlation Coefficients Spearman" and Arc Gis software is used. The community statistics is 22 area of Sanandaj. The results show that between the distributions and having of areas of the service user there is not a reasonable and balance relationship. In other words incompatible spatial distribution of services with the population needs in the study area confirms. Based on an analysis of modulation techniques, areas 15 and 13 in terms of the service distribution are relatively balanced. This is due to the low gross density of population and high per capita of urban services. On the other, the areas 11 and 21 have unbalanced situation than other areas. Thus, there are spatial disparities a high level in terms of having of urban services user between urban areas.

The concentration of poverty in urban areas over the last century as well as the industrialization of the world, the physical aspects of poverty in slums and informal settlements were formed. Enabling approach to solving this problem was proposed in the 1980s, this approach not as a problem but as an informal gathering a view to strengthening the social capital necessary to replace the culture of poverty. Therefore, the present study emphasize the concepts and principles of enabling and organization plan to evaluate the success of informal settlements in the city of Shiraz, Mehdi Abad neighborhood case study (Katas-Bes) using statistical methods with quantitative-qualitative approach to the evaluation plan is discussed. After extraction of the sample using the formula Cochran, 384 questionnaires among residents Mehdi Abad filled and data were analyzed with statistical analysis software Spss. The results show, the first hypothesis that using one-sample t-test (One Sample T-Test) were measured, the average success rate Mehdi Abad neighborhood House sig = 0.000 significance level was equal to 24.3 the expected mean (27) has a mean - 2.7sets. Thus, contrary to the assumption of the study, the failure houses Mehdi Abad neighborhood enabling goals is verified. The second hypothesis of the study, the average success rate in achieving the goals of empowering the Mehdi Abad neighborhood, significant at a level sig=0.000 equal to 54.43 and the average expected -41.57 average difference is 96, Thus the hypothesis that the failure of organizing and empowering neighborhood in the promotion of enabling Mehdi Abad neighborhood, is confirmed. The results indicate that the project is on track to achieve its aims to enabling neighborhood already failed, the most important reason that authoritarian attitudes in the preparation, approval and implementation In violation of the principles of participation, enabling and institution-building and awareness is key.

One of the recent challenges in metropolises which is a today's subject of arguments is limited accessible spaces. Nowadays, we are faced with decreased quality of municipal environments in the central places of Mashhad city as Iran's spiritual capital. Due to its special dignity, a huge number of pilgrims meet Imam Reza's holy shrine which has resulted to a specific high-level of human and social potentials. Therefore, it can provide a highly proper municipal space for people to live, visit and earn money. However, due to some basic problems including interferences among sidewalks and streets as well as pilgrim's mode of movements in paths which end to the holy shrine, compared to national and international indices, Shirazi Street lacks a positive identity perspective. Furthermore, a huge attack of people has made the street an extremely crowed one. In this study we tried to analyze Shirazi Street based on its virtual- behavioral characteristics using some nodes and some indices. Finally, we will propose some suggestions in order to enhancing environmental quality circumstances as well as organizing future states of the route. Utilizing library and filed gathering methods (i.e. direct interviews with the experts & dispersing 183 questionnaires among pilgrims), we utilized an analytical- descriptive model to analyze the obtained information. Results showed a direct and significant correlation among pilgrims' lack of satisfaction feelings and narrow sidewalks, shortages in adhering to architectural legislations, virtual turbulences, blocked ways, improper pavement qualities and shortage of enough parking and public green spaces. Therefore, the followings are suggested in orderto enhancing street's prestige in playing its roles properly: 1- synthetic mode of land use 2- organizing different types of current land uses with adhering to holy shrine's identical role 3- adhering to Iranian- Islamic type of architecture 4- enhancing open-wide municipal spaces 5- extension of green spaces using some green nodes in different intersections and finally 6- widening the street and its sidewalks through recessed buildings.

The results show that low-income families, on average, 40 to 50 percent of their monthly income to pay for rental housing, followed by the importance of this issue and lack of private sector housing for low income groups, housing policy as a policy stamp provision of social housing was introduced by the government. The aim of this study was to measure citizens' satisfaction with the quality of residential housing projects in the region Ahwaz is sweet. Results from two aspects of physical planning and management system and explain social issues are discussed. The study variables were analyzed using the software spss. The results of the analysis using t, suggest, given that the level of significance (sig) is smaller than 05/0 can be said that the average satisfaction with services there is a significant difference in physical parameters the main hypothesis is confirmed, in part satisfaction of the social consequences, the level of significance (sig) is smaller than 05/0. The index of place among the three groups in the Arab Gulf and Lor and given that the significance level (sig) is smaller than 0.05.

Personal identity is closely linked with many family and local identity, creating a sense of place that is their ability to adapt to the environment or cultural structures and it is emotional or developmental. City of Hamadan first blocks friendly and "canals" core city's main contribution in water aqueducts in the past has been very important city. Regarding the increase in constructions in urban development around the gardens within the city, part of the identity of the "white" was forgotten. Aqueducts in the city of Hamedan as an indicator in such a way identity new neighborhoods from other neighborhoods in the city. The term "sense of place" applies here to manage this sense of place and maintain this sense of security, belonging Mast. inspiring mission as "meaning" as one of the main criteria for optimal 'structure' and 'identity' are. The simplest form means in the narrow sense of the term, identity. the identity's cultural factors. This study aims at determining the identity deriving from canals in the city of Hamedan and analytical research method is descriptive in nature The findings of this study may be used in subterranean influence in identifying the city of Hamedan.
