Nowadays, the social aspects of cities have become a focus of urban planners. In urban planning, we need to move from a purely physical perspective to a multidimensional one that encompasses all dimensions. On the other hand, the neighborhood is one of the tools of urban planning,in fact, neighborhoods are more social and cultural units than geographical and physical ones. In the present study, considering the importance of social dimensions in urban planning, the factor of diversity of social identities in the city and the threatening factors of social cohesion at the neighborhood level of Mahshahr have been investigated. Accordingly, based on the descriptive-analytical method and field studies, the factor of social cohesion in the Mahshahr neighborhood was examined. Initially, two areas of old and new Mahshahr were selected as two neighborhoods, and then the questionnaire was randomly distributed among the residents of the neighborhood. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, and using t-test and Pearson, the significant relationship between the components was investigated. The results show that social variables have a stronger relationship with the cohesion factor with a high correlation strength and a decrease in high error, and tribalism is recognized as the most important factor threatening social cohesion in the region.

Migration is a dynamic process and the result of socio-economic changes, which can be separated and analyzed in terms of the common divisions of internal and international migrations. Internal migration is one of the main elements of changing demographic processes and the main mechanism of population distribution and redistribution. The flow of migration from cities to rural areas is a part of postmodern developments, which has economic-social-cultural, environmental and physical consequences. Existing studies and researches show that widespread and increasing migration to rural areas, physical complications such as "change In the ownership system, it will lead to "transformation in land use and the landscape of villages", "increase in the construction of second homes and the resulting physical chaos", "physical clutter", and "confusion in architecture and construction". This article investigates the physical damage caused by the migration and mobility of the floating population to the rural areas of Guilan province with a descriptive-analytical method based on documentary studies and field information collection and interviews with local experts and managers. The findings of this research showed that the agricultural levels Between the censuses of 1367 and 1390, the province has decreased by about 33%, which is undoubtedly the main reason for this is the request for land in the province and the change of its use. Construction has grown by 67% during the last decade (despite a 16% decrease in the rural population), which has resulted in numerous construction violations, while there is no reasonable balance between the province's population, resources, and infrastructure.

Urban furniture is one of the most important symbols in shaping the city's landscape, which will lead to the diversity, uniqueness, and aesthetic appeal of the city. The city is a great work of art and people spend most of their time there, so the arrangement of space is closely related to the urban furniture and the creation of other facilities and equipment. Therefore, considering the importance of the topic, the purpose of this study is to evaluate citizen satisfaction with urban furniture using six selected indices (safety and durability, variety of shape, visual beauty, location, variety of color, and compatibility with local culture) in district 4 of Ahvaz metropolitan area. The research method is practical and based on a survey-evaluation approach with a focus on questionnaires. The statistical population of the study is the citizens of the selected research area, and a sample of 380 people was considered based on the Cochran formula. The study's findings, based on the calculation of the one-sample t-test, show that the average satisfaction of citizens in the studied area regarding urban furniture is 3. 46, which is at the medium level. Additionally, based on the results of the Kruskal-Wallis test, the level of significance of the selected indices is 0. 285 and greater than the confidence level of 0. 05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a difference of opinion among the statistical groups in the studied area.

A significant part of the population of all countries of the world includes physically-motor disabled people. Paying attention to the issue of the disabled and the necessity of culture building and respect for human dignity in this field, this group of people in the society, like other people, need to meet their needs in the urban environment. This research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the obstacles and limitations of the presence of physically-motor disabled people in the urban spaces of Ahvaz. According to the nature of the subject and the goals for which it is planned, it is descriptive and analytical type and belongs to applied research. Research method, library method, field method, statistical population of 53946 disabled people,In order to select the sample size, Cochran's formula was used, according to which the sample size was 380 people. In order to analyze the data, first through the spss software, the desired indicators will be used to test the hypotheses from the T test, for the final evaluation of the model (DEMATEL). The findings obtained from the DEMATEL technique showed that among the indicators, the permeability and accessibility index have the most interaction, and the buildings index has the least interaction, and the permeability and accessibility index are the most influential factors, and the urban furniture index is the most influential factor. Conclusion that by using T test in the first hypothesis the average of all indicators was equal to 3/93 and in the second hypothesis the average was 4/13.

Markets have been the primary human centers for human gatherings and a place to exchange goods. People gather in markets with different interests and desires, and the success of these spaces is proportional to their use and presence. The structure of Iranian traditional markets and its parts and organs have an independent identity and a meaningful connection with each other, as well as provide a platform for the expression of solidarity, unity, individual and collective feelings. The spaces are in traditional Iranian markets. This research is a combined "applied-developmental" type, which collects information with the method of document review, collecting information in the field, preparing videos and sounds from the market environment, mapping and non-interventional observation, and verifying the content in the form of a questionnaire (298 respondent) and using GPS on a mobile phone along the path of the shoemaker's market to study people's behavior in order to determine what parameters based on the spatial sequence in the market space cause different experiences in people. Common points that had more pauses among people were recorded as main stations on the map. This research concludes that the five senses are affected by sensory perceptions and environmental stimuli, some of which are more permanent and their relationship with the spatial sequence has a more direct relationship, which creates an effective experience in the individual.

Historical fabric is inherently harmonious, as it has organically evolved over time based on the needs of citizens. Its constituent elements are coherent and complement each other, contrasting with the anomalies and inconsistencies we see in modern urban spaces. Additionally, in historical fabrics, there are spatial realms of various scales, from the private realm of a house to the semi-private realm of a gateway and the public realm of passage,the passage leads to crossroads, markets, and ultimately to the bazaar. The historical fabric of Dezful, with an area of 240 hectares and over 113 nationally registered monuments, has a historical background dating back thousands of years, making it one of the oldest cities in Khuzestan Province. Therefore, this article attempts to first examine the concept of the old fabric and its structure,then it delves into the continuity, coherence, and relationship of Dezful's historical fabric with the modern fabric of this city in urban studies-to revive it-this connection occurs in a balanced and sustainable manner when the entity of the old city structure is understood, and its roots of continuity are examined and strengthened. This article pays attention to the issue of the old fabric on a macro scale and modern life on a micro scale. The old fabric of Dezful city can be strengthened and highlighted from a museum valuation perspective, which requires conservation policies and programs, and there is another approach based on comprehensive revitalization and revitalization.
