The qualitative method used in this study is behavioral observation, a modern approach to environmental design and the analysis of public territory, and a method to understand the mutual relationship between people and spaces. This study's main goal was to investigate conditions in which spatial diversity could help form specific behavioral patterns inside public territories. The main study question is: "Which behavioral patterns prevail in the areas under study based on space diversity? And how much do environmental factors contribute to space users' satisfaction? This method was investigated in sample Zanjan's pedestrian zone, the starting point of the city's main historical and commercial routes, subjected to degradation and transformation. The present study was applied and carried out in a survey form. The survey strategy was used to validate the study findings. Views obtained from 50 interviewees led to the extraction of some components constituting the reasons behind visiting a space. Zanjan's pedestrian zone faces a reduced volume of static activity and behavioral patterns in the mid-hours of the day, with the highest volume of traffic taking place from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. On the other hand, a review of questionnaires on revisiting the space led to the identification of such factors as access to occupations, shopping, spending leisure, and finally, interactions.https://www.ijumes.com/article_701706_f94626226bb47b2656f27cf541ea2593.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16283320220701Recognition of a Desert Garden through the Lens of Landscape Sustainability Case Study: of Shazdeh Garden in Mahan, Iran395670171110.22034/jumes.2022.1983338.1107ENHoneyFadaieDepartment of Architecture, Roudehen Branch, Islamic Azad University,Roudehen ,Tehran,Iran0000-0003-4523-6028Journal Article20220623The Persian garden as a symbol of a traditional Iranian landscape has a millennia-long history. A variety of factors contributes to create the historical phenomenon of which environmental sustainability is the important one. Although, the Persian gardens have been investigated from different perspectives Knowledge about the sustainable perspective of these gardens is limited. Despite the importance of sustainability in traditional Iranian landscape, available studies have not examined the Persian gardens through the lens of sustainability. This paper scrutinizes the parameters of environmental sustainability in the historical garden of Shazdeh in the arid city of Mahan as a selected case study. The main aim of this study is analyzing the elements and design principles of Shazdeh garden in order to identify the features of sustainable landscape architecture. To this purpose, the selected research method in this paper is descriptive-analytical, which according to the type of research, study and data collection are the combination of these two qualitative and quantitative methods. In this regard, first, the qualitative method is used to examine the parameters of sustainable landscape in the hot and arid climate. Then, both qualitative and quantitative methods are employed to investigate and evaluate the effects of sustainability factors on the main elements of Shazdeh Garden which include natural elements (water, vegetation), and built elements (pavilion). The results show that understanding the characteristics of sustainable landscaping in arid regions plays a key role in creating the physical models, spatial organization, and composition of elements of Shazdeh Garden.https://www.ijumes.com/article_701711_671fd9e1ca7e372ba8612697f1380e17.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16283320220701Explaining the role of urban furniture on attendance based on the behavioral pattern of architecture students (Case example: Open space of Islamic Azad University complex of Sari)577070142610.22034/jumes.2022.1985827.1108ENAbbasaliRanjbarDepartment of architecture, Faculty of architecture, Noor branch, Islamic Azad University, Noor, Iran0000-0002-2360-8962MaryamShabakDepartment of architecture, Faculty of architecture, Sari branch, Islamic Azad University, Sari, IranNimaNorouziDepartment of architecture, Faculty of architecture, Jouybar branch, Islamic Azad University, Jouybar, IranSiyamakNayyeri FallahDepartment of architecture, Faculty of architecture, Noor branch, Islamic Azad University, Noor, Iran0000-0002-5685-4633Journal Article20220707Considering the role of academic spaces and their quality on the progress and efficiency of students, as well as providing a platform for increasing social interactions between them, open spaces as a part of university complexes can be the basis for the active presence of students, participation in collective activities and the use of the capabilities of the environment. Nowadays, the lack of or inappropriate quality of the furniture has led to the non-optimal use of students and as a result, decreasing their attendance and the dynamics of open spaces in these collections. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the role of the characteristics and indicators of the furniture in the seating area on social interactions and their presence in the use of these elements in the open space. This research is based on descriptive-analytical research and two documentary methods and a questionnaire have been used to obtain information, and the obtained information has been analyzed and evaluated by SPSS software in the case of Islamic Azad University of Sari. The results show that the furniture is mostly used for sitting and talking with friends on the university campus, and the performance of the furniture is more satisfactory compared to its beauty and form. In addition, there is a relationship between social interactions and factors affecting attendance, and this means that increasing the number of social interactions will result in more attendance. In future research, the internal relationships of the investigated indicators and their results can be developed.https://www.ijumes.com/article_701426_4f6f869b903e3d7df0d5fe561c709c7d.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16283320220701Climatic compatible future cities locating approach to less non-renewable energy consumption718370210110.22034/jumes.2022.1982956.1101ENFarnoodFreidooniDepartment of Mechanical engineering, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, 84156-83111, IranSagharFreidooniDepartment of Art and Architecture, Guilan University, Rasht, Iran.AmirGandomkarDepartment of Geography, Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Najafabad, Iran0000-0002-9344-7607Journal Article20220821More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. Cities and climate have tremendous interactions. Slight changes in one of the climatic factors disrupt the balance of civilizations. Hence, neglecting these factors makes cities to face with hazardous. Due to explosive population growth and urbanization, locating climatic compatible future cities is worldwide concern. The main goal of present study is identifying effective climate factors on future cities locating approach to low non-renewable energy consume and compatible with climate. For this purpose, using questionnaire from experts, pairwise comparison in Expert Choice software, and Micmac structural analysis, data were divided into 4 factors and 23 sub-factors. Results show that, the temperature and solar radiation factors have the highest effects and the lowest score dedicated to the wind factor. Micmac structural analysis shows that altitude, latitude, radiation direction, and distance from the sea factors are key and sensitive (driver) factors; radiation duration, time-dependent fluctuations, sky cover and sunshine hours, and precipitation factors are high risk (linkage) factors; atmospheric specifications, relative humidity fluctuations, heat gain, glacial days, horizontal pressure gradient factors are dependent factors and solar radiation fluctuations factor is independent (autonomous) factor.https://www.ijumes.com/article_702101_54928daab226044207336b9bf35f433d.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16283320220701Analyzing the relationship between typology and the urban housing model849570232510.22034/jumes.2022.1987357.1111ENArdavanAbbasiPh.D. Student, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch, Tehran, IranBehrouzMansouriAssistant professor, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran.MehrdadMatinAssistant professor, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran.0000-0002-6165-891XJournal Article20220828The country of Iran like everywhere in the world, has turned to tall buildings with the motivation of saving land in the centers of big cities. But the experiences that the owners of high-level construction technology have gone through have not yet been acquired and the conditions for development in fields that were not present in its evolution have not been provided. A significant number of high-rise buildings without the support of a specialized study are necessary, which will result in huge losses and waste, which should be reduced as much as possible. The failed experience of the last few decades of tall residential buildings i requires an analytical study in it. The purpose of the current research is to explain the role the relationship between type and model in the structural layers of typology. The cognitive reduction method can be done with two completely different goals. Initially, the refinement of a design of its main elements leaves a diagram of the basic structure. This diagram may correspond to diagrams of other designs, in which case we use the term typological diagram. Such a diagram can be called the nature of a species. Secondly, by comparing a design resulting from the reduction of the taxonomic diagram of a species with a design that was probably adapted from it, we can get an idea of the changes in the design according to the original species. Everything is detailed and defined in the model, but everything is more or less uncertain.https://www.ijumes.com/article_702325_f7851c38f3019243981f40a4b271e7bb.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16283320220701Explaining the comparative model of old and new urban fabrics with healthy city approach9611570308810.22034/jumes.2022.1987940.1113ENBaharehSajadi NainiDepartment of Urban Development, Science and research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IranHamidMajediDepartment of Urban Development, Science and research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IranZahra Sadat SaeedehZarabadiDepartment of Urban Development, Science and research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20220730Population expansion and excessive urbanization, especially after the industrial revolution, cities face problems such as lack of housing, poverty, types of pollution, traffic and Congestion, decrease in connection with nature, loss of desirable urban spaces, decrease in health level, etc. are faced.

Recognition of informal settlement formation is so important to the extraction of patterns and types depending on the model evaluation. The methodology of research is descriptive-analytical, which has a development purpose. According to the nature of informal settlements in different views, criteria can be divided into social, economic, environmental, and economic branches but for the formation matter and its pattern, the environmental branch includes the physical dimension too. The collecting method is library resources and for evaluation, the Delphi method was applied. The result shows that it is possible to evaluate the localized indicators based on two environmental and physical components to evaluate the pattern of urban form in informal settlements. In general, there are two axes in the formation pattern of informal settlements in Iran. Proximity to the main transportation arteries due to the presence of land and lack of restrictions on housing construction and using topography to occupy land and create housing. With these two axes, it is possible to recognize the existing urban patterns by adding the structure of the access network to it and creating blocks and the type of granularity in it. According to the types of urban settlements, in future studies, the urban form of informal settlements can be classified according to the type of climate, topography, population, the use of urban spaces, etc., and presented in the proposed model for evaluation.https://www.ijumes.com/article_703110_90203c2c8ba4cd845a24e641e24e6469.pdf
