Urban livability deals with all aspects and dimensions of urban settlements that seek to create a healthier and more livable urban environment for current and future generations. Urban livability is used to evaluate the performance of cities in terms of the living standards it has provided for residents, which includes the best living standards to the worst living standards. Therefore, livability is defined as the product of interaction between social, economic, health and environmental conditions that affect human and social well-being. The fact that researchers and thinkers present a different factor is because the needs and issues depend on place and time, and since the solution to these challenges also depends on the same place and context in which it is located, definitions, Factors and solutions are also different from each other. Hence, it is necessary to pay close attention to the local climatic, environmental, cultural, social, and economic conditions and the needs and wishes of the local residents. The noteworthy point is that these indicators are different according to the political, social and cultural governance conditions in different countries and cities, and attention to the issue and concept of livability in each city should be taken into account according to its context and context. take shape The purpose of the upcoming research is to express the concept of livability in metropolises from the point of view of different experts according to the different background and context and to examine the indicators proposed by them. Urban environment and its various dimensions such as physical, social, economic, natural environment, etc., housing, urban management, services and urban infrastructure, transportation, education, security, participation, social justice, sense of belonging to place, times Leisure and recreation etc. are listed as the main and important indicators from the point of view of different experts.

The category of architectural design is considered as the most prominent axis of architectural education in most educational centers in the world. The importance of this axis is to create a connection between two valuable categories in the architecture profession, i. e. theoretical discussions and theoretical perspectives on the one hand and executive and professional activities in design on the other hand. Therefore, paying attention to the subject of architectural design education should always be a priority for the planners of the architectural education system. Education in architecture schools, in the most optimistic state, consists of a scattered and almost disconnected set of architectural topics, which lack of understanding and constructive interaction between lecturers and students in design studios also deepens this gap. add Constructive interaction is a multifaceted process, which pursues a vision beyond the conventional views about conventional forms of dialogue and negotiation between people. This process deals with revelation in an extraordinarily long line of human activities and experiences. Categories such as apparent values, the nature and intensity of human emotions, various models of the process and flow of thinking, how to organize our moment-to-moment experiences by Sis. Physiology-nervous body theme. The main principles and key components in constructive interaction are: Common concept and meaning, the essence of collective thinking, strong and effective tendency towards division and separation, performance and awareness, platform and context related to sub-cultures, search for free and undirected study, companionship and personal friendship and conflict related to The observer and the subject of observation. Based on this, the aim of the present research is to improve architectural design education by focusing on the approach of constructive interaction among students in the architecture studio. This article is qualitative in nature, and its method is descriptive-analytical. Also, the method of collecting information is documentary and library. The results of this research show that the place of students in the learning process is not just for the sake of education, but for the purpose of producing knowledge, which can happen in the interaction between teachers and students. Therefore, in the field of architectural design, student participation in the production of architectural design knowledge can be very important. This interaction in the production of knowledge, if guided, can become a source to provide better usability for students. Constructive interaction has also changed the teachers' perspective from what they teach to what the learner learns. On the other hand, according to the features mentioned in connection with the design studio with constructive interaction approach, it is not far from the mind that there are obstacles in the direction of achieving this goal. Because this requires the hard work of teachers, and is correlated with accepting more responsibilities, and culturally, it also requires a correct understanding of norms and values. Therefore, paying attention to the approach of constructive interaction, in addition to laying the groundwork for the active and beneficial participation of learners in the educational process, it also provides the possibility of the flourishing of their thinking and creativity.

In urban planning, transit-oriented development is a type of urban development that maximizes the residential, commercial, and recreational spaces within a short walking distance of public transportation. The goal of transit-oriented development is to create a symbiotic relationship between dense urban areas and public transportation usage. One criticism leveled against transit-oriented development is that it leads to gentrification in low-income areas. In some cases, transit-oriented development has resulted in increased housing prices in previously affordable neighborhoods, causing residents with low or moderate incomes to be pushed further away from their workplaces. In this situation, transit-oriented development can adversely affect low-income neighborhoods. The increased awareness of the role of urban transportation has paved the way for achieving a clear political goal and has led to a shift from individual to public transportation choices. This study aims to draw the reader's attention to the negative impact of gentrification caused by this policy by providing evidence from the cities of Karaj and Tehran, urging policymakers and urban planners to consider the other aspect of this policy in urban planning and minimize the harm to low-income groups. The findings raise doubts about the assumption of gentrification resulting from transit-oriented development, questioning some methodological shortcomings in studies related to transit-oriented development.

Gentrification is a complex phenomenon that can be examined from both global and local perspectives. From a global perspective, gentrification can be seen as part of broader economic and social trends, such as the growth of neoliberalism and globalization. Gentrification can also be linked to global patterns of urbanization and the rise of a global middle class. From a local perspective, gentrification can be examined in terms of its specific impacts on individual neighborhoods and communities. Sã, o Paulo has been mentioned as a city experiencing gentrification. However, the concept of gentrification cannot be directly imported to understand the urban dynamics of Sã, o Paulo, and there are some challenges to doing so. The urban dynamics of Sã, o Paulo are shaped by different historical, social, and economic factors than those of classical cases in the United States and England, which are often used as reference points in discussions of gentrification. It discusses the challenges faced by the government in balancing economic growth with social development, particularly in the context of neoliberal reforms implemented in the 1990s. The modernist planning movement in Brazil is examined, highlighting criticisms of its top-down approach and its impact on urban environments. The abstract also touches upon the specific case of Sã, o Paulo, the major economic center of Brazil, and its struggles with rapid population growth and housing issues. Overall, the abstract underscores the ongoing concerns and debates surrounding Brazil's modernization process, focusing on the effects of these reforms on social development and inequality.

Architectural spaces may respond to a greater number of their users' needs at different times and thus provide more desirable performance than single-functional spaces, due to their capability of spatial organization and internal transformations. One of the subcategories of flexibility in housing as a contemplative subject is the need for access to this ability. In order to influence the desirability of flexibility and spatial organization in housing in relation to the space syntax method and the means-end chain model, the aim of this research is to set out a conceptual framework in relation to explaining the changing needs. A qualitative type of research method will be used in this study. The results show that a relationship between the feature and the activity, which is referred to as an affordance, exists whenever an action is undertaken. In the space syntax, affordances are illustrated by activities and the linkage amongst permeability, functional differentiation, and integrity and in the means-end chain, they are illustrated by features and the linkage amongst attribute, consequence, and value.

Art is an integral part of architecture and beauty is an integral part of art. Therefore, considering the relationship between the three categories of architecture, art and beauty, it is inevitable to pay attention to the meaning and concept of beauty in order to apply it in the architectural design process. But beauty is one of the words that have different meanings throughout human history and there are different views regarding its meaning, as a result of which the meaning and concept of beauty seems different and sometimes contradictory in different periods of history. But Islam has provided an all-round definition of beauty, which includes physical and semantic levels. Despite the mentioned problem, there are works of art or architecture that have kept the concept of beauty in their bodies throughout history and in the passage of time and are beautiful from the human point of view. But the question arises that according to the durability of these works,How is beauty manifested in these buildings, and what was the overall view of the creator of these works on the concept of beauty? The purpose of this research is to briefly examine the meaning and concept of beauty and how it is manifested in architectural works according to Islamic thought. The mosque is one of the important uses in Iranian-Islamic architecture, which is a suitable platform for finding the concept of beauty in the form of body and meaning. The research method of the current research is descriptive-analytical and it was done by describing the concept of beauty and analyzing it in the form of a case study of Valiasr Mosque in Tehran,The collection of information was done in a library way. In the end, it can be concluded that architecture, like art, can be reduced to the level of the outer shell and layer and only have an external beauty, or that it can, in addition to preserving the external beauty, contain the deepest human and spiritual concepts based on thinking. Islam has a place in itself and because of that, it will last over time. Achieving and defining these deep layers requires the existence of comprehensive thinking and philosophy that can make sense and be understood throughout history and for a large number of people. The proof of this issue is the architectural works that still look beautiful despite the passage of a long time since their construction, and also the lack of attention to the deeper layers of the concept of beauty will be effective even in the most basic layer of this concept, i. e. external beauty,Although in the Valiasr Mosque, beauty in the material layer and in some levels in the sensible layer has progressed approximately correctly, but it does not guide the audience to the royal level, because the positive aspects of beauty have emerged in the design and primary research. But the negative things have caused it to not be successful in the implementation stages and, as a result, affect the audience.

Cities have always undergone complex transformations over different periods, including physical, social, economic, political, and even cultural changes. As a result of the uncontrolled growth of cities due to the lack of resources and time needed to meet the daily needs of citizens, numerous problems have arisen, which can only be solved through innovative solutions. The process of urban development strategy CDS, as a content and procedural theory, as well as a novel approach to urban planning, was introduced by the Coalition of Cities organization in 1999 to reduce poverty, promote sustainable development, enhance participation, and create good urban governance. Based on the negative results of the current growth and expansion of cities, which are a function of population, per capita, and consumption patterns, citizens play a decisive role in these global results. If the current undesirable trends continue in the near future, most new residents of cities will seek housing in informal, overcrowded areas with inadequate urban services. Therefore, attention to the issue of housing planning in the development of urban issues to maintain the balance of the city and the use of natural and sufficient resources by citizens is an important and necessary matter that must be included in the agenda of urban planners. This article seeks to examine and analyze the existing challenges in urban planning, and to address the position of the CDS approach in this regard and its role in maintaining the spatial order of cities.

Recognizing and employing ecosystem services in various regions has emerged as a crucial strategy for mitigating human-induced environmental impacts in the modern era. Ecosystem preservation and management, underpinned by activist efforts, such as investment, innovative approaches, and the functional aspects of environmental design, are essential for human survival. In this context, beyond mere sustainability, the principles of sustainable development probe the environmental influence on human-nature interactions to achieve effective landscape design. This approach, aligning with psychological and aesthetic perceptions, can promote tourism and economic growth, positioning it as one of the most lucrative global industries. The present study examines the landscape design services of the Miankaleh wetland ecosystem. Besides providing clear benefits to ecosystem protection, this scrutiny contributes to the broader discourse on sustainability within environmental management. Concepts such as ecosystem-landscape design, socio-cultural-economic-political dimensions, and various fields converge on a shared objective. This integrated perspective presents unique opportunities for sustainable growth at an international scale. Employing a descriptive-analytical research method, the study explores “, the recognition and analysis of landscape design services in the Miankaleh wetland ecosystem and their role in enhancing tourism and economic growth through sustainable development planning”, . The research examines the potential impact of environmental or landscape design on this process. The literature review is performed using the library method, focusing on written documents. Given the growing concerns and factors influencing the Miankaleh wetland ecosystem, it is possible to present comprehensive perspectives. Such perspectives, along with proposed solutions, can guide the employment of ecosystem-specific services. The unique position and strategic significance of the Miankaleh wetland ecosystem, as it provides an ecological foundation for natural shifts and behaviors, can provide insightful feedback on employing such services for planning and sustainable development, thereby improving tourism and economic growth.

The performance and usefulness of the air transportation industry goes beyond the provision of transportation services. Air transportation affects our economic way of life, social and cultural attitudes and even has an effect in shaping the historical and political situation of societies. The increasing development of the air transport industry in the last decade in the world has been raised as one of the most important axes of development and growth of developed and developing countries and has a special position in the economic, social, cultural and technological development programs of developing countries has been found and is being developed. The growth of economic and social activities in Iran, the need for rapid movement of people and goods, and as a result the increasing demand for the air transport sector has made it an unavoidable necessity. Therefore, knowing about the challenges and opportunities that exist in this industry will lead to the presentation of strategies, policies, goals and ultimately its development. Air transportation, as much as it creates economic changes, also creates sociological changes. Due to the growing demand for air travel, air transportation has become one of the integral parts of human life today. The air transport industry is very important among different industries as well as types of transport methods. The ever-increasing development of the aircraft manufacturing industry and the tendency to move and transfer passengers and goods in the shortest time has led to the remarkable progress of the air transportation industry, especially in the last two decades. The purpose of this research is to analyze and investigate new methods of designing airports with a sustainable transportation approach.

The idea of modernism and the trend for it to be continued, particularly its focus on technological tools in various fields such as architecture, has led to a dozen of crises in the second half of the last century. These crises are almost environmental, although the challenges arising from modern life in modern buildings have been discussed by architects and designers. In this regard, sustainable development was born to maintain the current capabilities without devastating results for the future generation. Since the 1990s, sustainable architecture has been considered in many constructions. On the other hand, the lack of human contact with nature, due to their constant presence in buildings and its consequences as a weakness for modernism, has caused presented different solutions in the shape of various new thinking that, biophilic architecture is one of which. Biophilic architecture refers to the biophilia hypothesis first defined by biologist Edward Wilson in 1984, although it came to other fields such as architecture and design. This kind of architecture, which has been less than 30 years, fills the gap between humans and nature. In addition, it wishes to follow the natural patterns inspired by the natural shapes of fauna and flora in designing a building to improve the integration of artificial structures into nature. However, the role of biophilic architecture in meeting sustainability requirements has yet to be considered. So, the main goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between sustainability and biophilic architecture. In other words, this research plans to understand the effective factors of biophilic architecture in fulfilling sustainability goals. The method of this paper is descriptive–, analytical, and the way for data collection is documental. As this study is just theoretical, it includes theoretical perspectives and would be a review research. The results of this theoretical study show that the biophilic architecture approach is a part of sustainable architecture. This approach has the potential to offer and suggest sustainability benefits. Biophilic architecture has a wide range of factors, the same as sustainability. They include social, environmental/ecological, psychological, economic, physical, and even management aspects on the building scale. Some of the most important factors which have been understood in this study are Affordability of housing, reduce air pollution and optimize air quality, Reduce stress, Raise environmental awareness, Improve water management (stormwater management, water recycling, and water runoff quality), Increase worker productivity, Reduce energy consumption, Improve biodiversity, equal access to public facilities in the building, heat comfort, well-being, natural light, natural materials, natural landscape and vegetation, green technology, green materials, improve education quality, safety, crime, risk, adaptability, green space, land, food, transport, planning, policies, and community. In the end, this study suggests that researchers investigate and measure these factors' impact on buildings with a focus on local characteristics and introduce related criteria and indicators.
