Social capital including values such as trust and cooperation and solidarity in a residential zone is a concept that has been very important and critical in the process of urban renewal in recent decades. The aim of the present study was to measure the degree of social capital and to investigate the relationship between social capital and physical interference pattern and continued motivation of residence. And it also tries to identify the type and extent of the relationship between social capital with the increased participation and the rate of the implementation of urban renewal projects, on the other hand. The present study is a survey – based research. It is descriptive-analytical. The conceptual questionnaire was used as an instrument in this study. Formulation of theoretical foundation was based on library resources. The population of the present study consisted of all the inhabitants living in Zanjan old texture (family heads) that was 46150. Using multi-stage random sampling was used and 330 samples were selected using Cochran formula. The results showed that the Zanjan old texture residents have the social capital above average; nearly it was true in all of its components. Also significance relationship does not exist between social capital and the renewal of old urban texture. Due to various factors including lack of trust in the body of urban management, lack of reinforcing the planning of required effective variables, residents are uncertain and in doubt on the issue of renewal and improvement of urban old texture. So, it emphasizes on the importance of planning in this area.

The old texture of Kashan is one of the worthy old textures that is confronted with physical, social and economical changes due to some difficulties such as the lack of suitable facilities, economic decline, physical and social wear, etc. Different encounters with the procedure of current changes and processes have caused the physical and spatial construction of the texture to change and while changing the form of the texture, it gradually reflects the undesired features of the new texture in itself and presents an abnormal appearance within the framework of the qualities of the organic texture. Therefore, in this research, the spatial physical processes were studied with an emphasis on the processes which change the form and appearance of the texture and the impact of the spatial set up and the finally old physical construction of the historical city on the procedure of the growth and development.For studying and clarification of this research, a combination of descriptive, analysis and survey methods has been performed. The consequences of the data analysis, clarifies that the masonry quality and the materials used in the building of residential masons, are the effective factors in form transformation and morphology and the physical transformation of Kashan old texture. So that more than 60 percent of residential masonry form 400 studied units in Kashan old texture area are destroyed and repaired, based on the quality and built of bricks and mud based materials.Also the study shows that the high building expenses especially in the center of the texture, lack of the appropriateness of the ancient transport bands with the modern needs and eventually the decrease in texture dependency among the youth and unaboriginal migrants are the most significant factors that play an important role in texture form and physical transformation.

The old textures of cities are going down the path of stagnation and backwardness.

In this regard, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of tourism in restoring the distressed urban texture on the old texture of Sari. In this study, data collection and analysis methods were used through field studies and surveys, texture inhabitant questionnaires (144), statistical tests in form of SPSS software (T-test) and AHP model. And finally, the results of this study are the significant effect of adding applications related to tourism in the texture, beautification within the texture, and converting texture to pedestrian zone.

Introduction: old urban textures are among the most invaluable and precious cultural heritages, which attest to a grand and honorable civilization. Nowadays, historic and old areas are, mostly, afflicted with natural erosion resulting from the passage of time, presence of humans and its concomitant factors. Gradually, these textures are frayed and paying attention to the ancient structures of old cities, planning for keeping, reviving and organizing their fundamental framework can be conducive to the survival of a city. The first aim of the present study is to answer the question concerning the extant potentials and limitations of cultural, economic and physical development of old texture and the strategies and solutions leading to a comprehensive and sustainable development.

In recent decades the phenomenon of environmental quality degradation such as a shadow on the economic structure of the ancient Iranian cities and has faced to danger its long-term stability. The result is external femoral natives of core of prized urban to the old middle and new build areas (Pourahmad, Habibi, farhoudi: 2010). Because environmental quality and housing are some elements that have effect on urban population movements in. Since the Housing department is one of the most important economic sector, have importance that is also in terms of the share of household basket and also in terms of the share in GDP and its role in large-scale economic indexes such as economic growth, employment of production factors. This article has done reviews with the aim of understanding the problems of the housing market in Dezful County (old tissue) from the perspective of consumer buyers, individual investors, constructors, builders, investment companies and other activists in the field of housing to be able make decision in this context in relation to the future of the housing market for the investment or leaving it (Koorechi, Hadi, p12), and has reviews a major indexes such as the population and its collection, how the ownership of residential units, the amount of rent and the price of housing and other elements. Research method in this article is descriptive- analytical, analyzing data is done by using statistical software spss, Arcgis and field investigation Dezful City. The results shows that problems caused only a particular segment of the housing market in this context have contributed, such as burnout tissue, the problem of crossings, resistant mechanism of residential unit-lack of public parking and other factors.

Today, the needs to plan for sustainability is increasingly important to the city and settlement system of Yazd in order to countermeasure the security risks. Such risks include urban terrorist attacks, riots, anarchy, war and natural disasters such as earthquake, which threatens the development and security of the area due to inherent problems which provides a dysfunctional situation. To recognize the intervention strategies aimed to improve and reduce vulnerability of Yazd old texture, this investigation is carried out by measuring the elites’ points of views in the Questionnaire of SWOT model, (evolved and completed in AHP method) and matrix was quantitatively planned and intervention strategies of Yazd city were developed. Surveys based on the SWOT analysis in connection with effective factors makes it clear that urban management performance in the city management, road network, rehabilitation and housing development in order to improve safety and security in the city of Yazd old texture have been unsuccessful and so in order to overcome the inherent and potential threats, it shows that the strengths and opportunities in the distressed area haven't been exploited properly. This is confirmed by internal factors evaluation matrix with the 2. 77 and external factors evaluation matrix with the 3. 05 which indicates the need to approach them in a Chart exhibit, to overcome the available threats. Finally strategies such as the production of safe space, accelerating the depopulation by modifying the road network and presenting the safe sample construction by urban management, are suggested which include the passive defense municipal operational programs.
