Abstract

Introduction: Using GREENWAYs could be one of the ways which fulfill the improvement of urban streets. GREENWAYs, as they are known, improve the pedestrianism and related qualities like climatic comfort, visual complexity and desirable serial visions. The objective of this research is to evaluate the capacity of MADIES [1] network in ISFAHAN to function as GREENWAY. This research aims to assess in what extent they can play as main part of a vast green network. MADIES are several streams divided directly from Zayandeh-Rood River. They constitute the main part of the historic-natural structureof ISFAHAN. There are about 250 km of these manmade streams which are perfectly planned, designed and constructed according to the topographic characteristic of the plain of ISFAHAN. Originally, MADIES were created to irrigate the farmlands surrounding the river in the plain of ISFAHAN since the Safavide period. Today their role is completely changed; in one hand due to the drought of Zayandeh-Rood River (source of water in MADIES) and expansion of city and land use transformation from agricultural to different urban land uses in the other hand. By the way, today MADIES could play a vital role in improvement of environmental qualities despite their changing role. They are fundamental elements of urban structure in the city and reinforce the organic and natural aspects of urban planning and design as basic parts of GREENWAY characteristics. Therefore they could be considered as main structure of green network in the city of ISFAHAN. As it is known, GREENWAYs enhance quality environment, aesthetic, recreation, education, relaxation, and preservation of habitation. GREENWAYs can help the protection of ecological continuity. They are managed, planned and designed for several functions such as environmental, recreational, cultural, aesthetic and other purposes. So we can extract GREENWAY characteristic from existing definitions such as their linear form, organic design, social inclusiveness and their perfect adaption to the urban environment. MADIES can play a central role as part of a structure which is GREENWAY network. To do this, it is necessary to know in what extend they are apt to this function. This paper tried to define what the strengths are and weakness of MADIES to fulfill the task of being GREENWAYs.
