This study points to propose a conceptual analysis of cultural inheritance and how they are linked to the concepts of landscape, heritage and identity within landscape ideas. It also discusses how these cultural landscapes can be measured and incorporated into spatial and physical training. The cultural heritage conservation matter provides tools for reaching suitable solutions for sustainable development based on the culture of people and geographical region. A region of southern districts in Iran, especially villages or historical grounds that is linked to landscapes, as one of famous spectacular cultural landscapes that express historical values and ecosystem that some of them are so unique in the world. This paper expresses issues of cultural Urbanism and landscape and Using a quantities research approach to solve the main aspects of sustainable development in one of the cultural heritage landscapes in the name of Harireh historical city which is located nearby to Persian Gulf already and popular with visitors and has featured in official tourism development plans and ways to getting best strategy for saving.https://www.ijumes.com/article_21840_2bbd84c0a50aedc1df983f360efd12d0.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16281220200801Definition and recognition of required factors for smartening cities in developing countries15232683710.22034/IJUMES.2019.06.15.012ENM.M.MoulaiiDepartment of Architecture, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, IranFKharvariDepartment of Architecture, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, IranG.ShahhosseiniDepartment of Urban Planning, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, IranN.Esmailpour ZanjaniDepartment of Urban Planning, Faculty of Arts and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran0000-0002-1646-4833Journal Article20181215It has been over 20 years that emerging term “smart cities” has been used theoretically and practically and implemented in our built environments. Importance of smart cities is not ignorable due to the world crises such as energy issues which are threatening the future of mankind. Theories and strategies has been implemented in many major cites of developed countries but there are still major energy consumption and other critical issues in developing countries due to strategies, technological systems background and infrastructures on their way toward an industrialized country. Thus it is quiet tangible that developing countries and their cities have to come up with strategies that will improve general sustainability of them. One way to achieve this goal is study of successful examples in the world. The aim of this research is to study successful smart cities around the world that received ICF (Intelligent Community Forum) awards to find successful and practical strategies that can be implemented in developing countries. We will first go through world top leading cities, extracting their strategies and technological systems, later coming up with infra structures in developing countries and in our case, Tehran city in Iran and finally showing strategies and technological facilities and approaches that can be implemented in this city.https://www.ijumes.com/article_26837_65f76dcdbd789fbe2623a33ab6b35da0.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16281220200801Evaluation of thermal comfort in urban areas24332184210.22034/ijumes.2019.01.01.005ENS.HeidariFaculty of Art and Architecture, University of Tehran, Tehran, IranM.AziziFaculty of Art and Architecture, University of Tehran, Tehran, IranJournal Article20180702This Study introduces the effects of out-door thermal comfort field surveys in the city of Kashan, located in the hot climate zone in the cardinal region of Iran. Approximately 295 data sets by subjects in out-door condition were collected successfully. The answers indicated a friendly relationship between neutral temperature and current temperature, which subjects were exposed to it and also between outdoor temperature and air-speed and comfort temperature. This research has identified several adaptive actions that a soul might contract to reach comfort in outdoor condition. The determinations of the survey exposed that the Iranian citizenry, who are holding out in hot-dry piece of the state could achieve comfort at higher outdoor temperatures compared with the recommendations by some criteria, like Iranian standard for out-door working or existing. They find ways in which to make themselves comfortable in the conditions they normally experienced. It seems, different culture or different climatic zones does not any negative effects in such actions. The paper concludes with this fact that the adaptive model is valid rather than Finger’s equations.https://www.ijumes.com/article_21842_e4c0565355a8fbf03916d0bd025e02c8.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16281220190818Study of the Urban Heat Island Mitigation Strategies: The Case of Two Cities34403010410.22034/ijumes.2017.18.12.017ENM.MoulaiDepartment of Architecture, Faculty of Arts and Architecture, University of Bu-ali Sina, Hamedan, IranFKharvariDepartment of Architecture, Faculty of Arts and Architecture,University of Kurdistan, IranG.ShahhosseiniDepartment of Urban Planning, Faculty of Art and Architecture, University of Tarbiat Modares, Tehran, IranN.Esmailpour ZanjaniDepartment of Urban Planning, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, Tehran-North Branch, Tehran, IranJournal Article20190118Recent studies in urban environment has suggested a new term defined as the Urban Heat Island abbreviated as (UHI) which technically refers to the higher levels of temperature in comparison to surrounding environment due to land transformation and construction of man-made products resulting in many subsequent effects such as transforming the thermal comfort of urban area occupants and etc.. Since the discovery of the phenomenon, many scholars had studied the effects of the UHI and how it can be mitigated. Through different strategies implemented by governing bodies of cities are the strategies which aim to reduce the solar gain by the built environment through different techniques. One of these strategies is to reduce the solar radiation gain by these areas and focuses on increasing green spaces in the cities through parks, roofs, streets and etc.. This study reviews two successful example of these cities - London and New York City- to extract the underlying strategies that are implemented by these cities’ governing bodies. Results shows microclimates offered by parks (green spaces), plants and vegetation play a significant role in achieving this goal and on the other turning the surfaces albedo to a higher level through making them brighter can be two successful strategy in reducing the Urban Heat Islands.https://www.ijumes.com/article_30104_7ca595cd7955654b36629c1470763487.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16281220190815Urban management and solutions for increasing incomes of city halls41522672910.22034/IJUMES.2017.06.15.014ENB.Amin NayeriDepartment of Urban Planning, Faculty of Art and Architecture,

Merely in the contemporary era due to rise of awareness of human knowledge on one hand and escalating worries about the acceleration of unknown events on the other hand the thought of thinking of future of societies became popular in a more severe frame. The future is something that humans can design with their purposeful measures and then shape it. Increased complexity and precariousness in the few decades has led planners and policy-makers turn to scenario planning making in such circumstances. Adaptability of future methods in urban and regional planning, provides a meticulous approach for regional planning which is mostly based on the interpolation, compatibility and participation. This research was conducted with the goal of regional development and the feasibility of the program in Shemiranat County and through scenario planning in regional planning. Information needed for this research was compiled using an open and structured questionnaire through Delphi method and comments of experts and data from MICMAC in three cycles and then using interactive analysis techniques, they were analyzed in the software. Finally, according to Schwartz scenario writing was conducted. The results show that Shemiranat will face four main scenarios.

Regarding the technological advancements from one hand and increase of problems from the other hand, sustainable development has been recognized as one of the priorities on developed countries. Sustainable development is a new platform considering politics and culture and at the same time emphasizes on economy, trade and industry and also supports environment, nature and equality of human rights. Building can bring various advantages and disadvantages for our society and environment. Therefore, the main objective of the present research is to investigate the main concepts of carbon-zero buildings in order to reduce energy consumption in buildings. In this way, effects and logic of carbon application has been recognized as an index of sustainability. The methodology of this research is analytical and documental research method. The results of research show that, Improvement of buildings energy efficiency by technological, supervision, voluntarily and financial encouragements is desirable. As urban areas have high potential for improvement of energy efficiency, low carbon buildings, in addition to building technology, residential environments with low carbon have to be designed in urban areas and Spatial planning can also play an important role in guiding the building sector to use lower amount of carbon.https://www.ijumes.com/article_30113_14b9130e6dbe8185cb68fa211921a335.pdf
