Studies have identified photovoltaic (PV) systems as one of the most widely used and practical ways to use solar energy. One of the applications of such systems is their home application. Establishing photovoltaic systems on the roofs and gables of residential buildings have received a good appreciation around the world within the recent years as with the ever-increasing trend of urban life and subsequently the decrease of sufficient space for establishing such generators, now the necessity of using the dead spaces of rooftops of the residential buildings is sensed more than ever. Considering the potential of Iran due to its suitable geographic position and specially concerning Tehran metropolitan, having on average 5 hours of sunlight per day, and considering 2,214,498 residential units in Tehran, and thereby the great number of dead spaces in the rooftops of residential buildings, the necessity of conducting this research is felt even more. In this paper, while briefly introducing the network connected photovoltaic (PV) systems and the term of utilizing them on rooftops of buildings, precise and optimized design and layout of solar panels (including the number of rows, length and width of panels, distance between panels and the slope of panels to horizon) are provided using PVSOL software. Moreover, reviewing several printed articles while having a new attitude toward the field of renewable energies, we have presented the main and functional criteria and measures for installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems stationed on rooftops of residential buildings. Further, considering high diversity of the influencing indicators on the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems in Tehran city, we have conducted a case study (Ekbatan residential complex) with the purpose of precisely implementing the indicators extracted from the present research. https://www.ijumes.com/article_242512_b51251d304bcb87d5b716a1a861539d1.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16282220200825Methodology explanation for providing an appropriate structure to increase the sustainability quality of urban transportation network in metropolitan areas using the AHP technique182624251310.22034/jumes.2020.242513ENA.AbdaliDepartment of Architecture and Urban Planning, Payame-Noor University, Tehran, Iran.Journal Article20191210 Sustainable transportation management considers the effects of transportation development on economic efficiency, environmental issues, energy consumption, and social justice and aims to reduce environmental impact, increase the efficiency of the transportation system, increase access, and Improving the social life of the people.

This complex, diverse and multi stakeholder’s environment the city with conflicts among its ecological, economic and social aspects, is facing a common question which is how to achieve sustainability? New studies on sustainable urban planning call for a more integrated approach to answer this question the concept of urban metabolism (UM) has expanded from its biological under-standing to analyze the interrelations between the natural, human and built environment in cities, and how they interact with their hinterlands at various scales. The notion of urban metabolism has been employed in various disciplines and has recently started to influence urban planning and policy. This paper aims to examine how the UM concept can be integrated into urban planning by recognizing the most used methodology of UM anlysis.at the end of research we compared different approaches of UM studies and criterias which were analyzed.https://www.ijumes.com/article_242514_b07ac16a40488b9a2f0f5050404b89eb.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16282220200825Evaluation of thermal comfort condition in urban morphology in approach to micro-climatic transformation in Tehran city435324251510.22034/jumes.2020.242515ENM.BagaeiDepartment of Urban planning, Faculty of Architecture and Urban planning, Tehran-North Branch, Islamic Azad UniversityY.A.ZiyariDepartment of Geography and Urban Planning, Faculty of Urban Planning, Center Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IranZ.

Their works are among the most essential analytical provisions. The main purpose is to investigate our relationship between variables affecting the creation of urban climate-micro according to the different morphology of the urban fabric of Tehran metropolis, which is practically not the type of fabric in the form of scenario, which can be referred to our relationship between SVF and urban FAR. In addition, the analysis of the effects of urban morphological parameters on micro-climate variables such as enclosed temperature (T) and mean radiation temperature (mrt) can also show optimal results in the form of parametric study considering the interactions between urban morphology and urban micro-climate. As a result, according to the general analysis and results in the current research, the two groups of the mentioned scenarios have a significant and affected relationship between morphological parameters and variables of urban micro-climate. This research is based on field perception, data and simulation using It is one of the basic software and also energy analysis in the topic of urban climate such as ENVI.met. In addition, the two groups of findings can be expressed in such a simple way that one; The SVF decreases when the BSC is increasing at a constant FAR. In addition, in the case of a sample with a fixed FSI, this factor increases as FAR increases. Enclosed temperature and average radiation temperature are also strongly correlated with urban morphological parameters in the presence of a constant FAR. According to these results, the BSC 25 was the best manifestation of reducing and calming the intensity of the heat island as well as the thermal comfort of the climate during summer nights. https://www.ijumes.com/article_242515_7c94e61ea88cb55140d180ceda972fb2.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16282220201125Tourism Plan for Bekal: A Case of Bekal Port, Special Tourism Area of Keralas546124251610.22034/jumes.2020.242516ENG.SoorajUrban and Regional Planning, School of Planning and Architecture, University of Mysore, Mysuru, Karnataka.H.S.KumaraUrban and Regional Planning, School of Planning and Architecture, University of Mysore, Mysuru, KarnatakaJournal Article20190510The tourism as an industry also third important sector that attracts foreign money to the country.Number of travellers who are interested in spending their valuable time in leading tourist destinations is increasing everyday. It has been booming and developing since primitive , but it has been in the last few decades that specific attention has started to be given to this environment friendly industry because of the income from this in the form of foreign exchange and other means. Tourism has expanded from a relatively small activity of limited importance in the early 19th century to arguably the largest industry in the World today. Olden days human beings had a pursuit for wandering, people used to move for food and shelter after it became a wealthy affair of some opulent people visiting places for leisure activities. Now globally, tourism is a vital industry, recognized as an activity essential to the life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural, educational and economic sectors of national societies and their international relations. India is one of the most popular destinations in Asia, bounded by the Himalayan ranges in the north, and surrounded on three sides by water (the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean), with a long history and diverse culture. Kerala has always been a favourite destination for the foreign as well as domestic tourists. Until the early 1980‟s, Kerala was a relatively unknown destination. However, marketing campaigns launched by the Kerala Tourist Development Corporation laid the foundation for the growth of the tourism industry in the state. Today, Kerala tourism is a Global super brand and regarded as one of the most famous tourist destinations. In 2017, Kerala attracted one million foreign tourists and 14 million domestic tourists. An annual increase of 10 per cent in foreign tourists and 11.3 per cent in domestic tourist arrivals (Kerala Tourism statistical report.https://www.ijumes.com/article_242516_3db6dc98e3cd75d05287a786d1b0dabf.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16282220200825Recognition of Urban Squares categorization by Using USCCM Matrix627224251710.22034/jumes.2020.242517ENH.Danesh PajouhDepartment of Civil, Art and Architecture, Faculty of Urban Planning, Science & Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20190119A categorization system is an approach, and at the same time, a general process for generating groups of ideas, objects, or concepts that all recognize them, while at the same time differentiating one into a whole. Urban square, as the main and urban space, needs a comprehensive understanding of the categorizing structure. The routine of urban squares classification approaches, as represented by theorists, has a formal or content-oriented construction and rarely has both of these dimensions. Only the stated categories do not really have the comprehensiveness to have a full-fledged methodology, and virtually all the standards that can be extracted by reverse engineering, for square recognition, lead the audience to some degree of ambiguity and complexity. The purpose of this research is to explain the new type of view and the criteria for the cognitive approach of one phenomenon, which can provide a complete categorization, which in this study is called the phenomenological category of the urban square, which is characterized by Urban Square Comprehensive Cognition Matrix that capability Applies to.The type of research is analytic-developing, an extension that is also used to explain the type of product used. With the use of this matrix, one can consider all aspects of the form and content in the square and in some way inject the meaning into its structure. This matrix, on the one hand, takes the criteria of cognition and on the other side covers the urban areas and also, if used for several types of squares, can be used as a means of comparing the quality of urban squares and their ranking. The matrix is an evolving of the criteria mentioned in the research of urban squares researchers, according to which the universality of the USCCM matrix can be confirmed. Finally, by patterning this category, the criteria mentioned in the study for evaluation and analysis of the urban square are also discussed in future studies.https://www.ijumes.com/article_242517_79e1f62115a3675dc94d3100f97ec0ca.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16282220200810Researching on Sustainable Architecture in-Approach to Energy Efficiency737924251810.22034/jumes.2020.242518ENM.LoghmanDepartment of Civil, Art and Architecture, Faculty of Urban Planning, Science & Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20200112Since most of the annual energy consumption in each country is related to the construction, optimization of energy consumption in buildings is important. When a single issue of energy is investigated, especially in residential buildings, design standard and specific rules could be seen that to achieve solutions for low energy consumption, help- ing. Of course, these rules depending on the occupation levels, receive heat, heat loss and building diversity of users are different and therefore are not easily standardized. In addition, a solution for a successful commercial or industrial building is not automatically to be used for other buildings. For example needs of heating, cooling and lighting and heat absorption capabilities of people, equipment, lighting and the sun should be in relation to building form, orientation, structure, pattern of occupation and environmental needs are assessed to ensure that all the points already are to appear on the general design decisions to be applied. So this article is trying to introduce the factors affecting energy consumption, the proposed solutions will be based on the lowest consumption in the construction, and eventually reached a sustainable design.https://www.ijumes.com/article_242518_4dde6214e322eef31bb0e24fd4865cea.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16282220200825Evaluation Outdoor Thermal Comfort of Urban Square with PET-Index809024255010.22034/JUMES.2020.242519ENO. JeddiFarzanehDepartment of Urban Planning, Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tabriz Islamic Art University, Tabriz, IranJournal Article20200110The most important public urban spaces are squares, which have been called by various titles such as the beating heart of urban activities, open spaces called urban lungs and the main centers of social interactions, and the main signs of identity and civic and historical character of cities. The constituent structures of the squares enclosing the field are important both in terms of their impact on the field space and the role they play in urban cells. The most important thing about buildings, regardless of their role in the body of the field, is the energy consumed by them and the microclimate created by the arrangement of the masses. Preventing the creation of heat islands and consequently creating thermal comfort as well as optimizing energy consumption in buildings are among the main and most important agendas in the field of cities today. Microclimate assessment is done by ENVI-Met4 software on modeling this case (assumed future situation). In the next step, in order to achieve the desired micro-climate, the criteria required for the texture will be simulated and evaluated and presented in two groups of scenarios, based on which a three- dimensional simulation of the urban fabric of the design site will be performed. The second evaluation in the software will be for this case, and if the micro-climate situation improves due to the applied changes, the desired texture for the design site and the body enclosing the field will be suggested.https://www.ijumes.com/article_242550_59fdae86f5332118b78bec9bdb9d1db8.pdf
