In this research, descriptive and analytical methods have been used to describe the characteristics of the research samples, and the "comparative study and analysis" method has been used to analyze the data in the evaluation of the spaces. This type of study deals with creating relationships between two or more phenomena, through analysis, explanation, explanation of their characteristics, differences, and possible similarities and after that Spatial structure analyzed using Depthmap software in four garden-mansion case such as Eram, Afif abad, Shapuri and Narenjestan Qavam to evaluating location of Shahneshin hall up to the transparency matter. The results show Shapuri Garden-Mansion has the highest amount of transparency, followed by Eram Garden-Mansion, then Narenjestan Qavam Garden-Mansion, and finally Afif Abad Mansion. Finally, it can be concluded that because the Shapuri Garden-Mansion has the highest quantitative value in the four indices of depth, visibility, coherence and legibility, it has more spatial transparency than other mansions.https://www.ijumes.com/article_709183_f34dd0b3408c02a5eea622467de7bc03.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16284420231001Explanation of the effective indexes on the model of in-between spaces based on the theory of planned perception-behavior with the quality-of-life approach in residential complexes394970921010.22034/jumes.2023.2016485.1180ENShayestehFarahaniPh.D. student, Department of Art and Architecture, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, Iran0009-0007-2267-278XSaeedSalehi MarzijaraniAssistant Professor, Department of Urban planning and Architecture, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, IranSeyed Mohammad RezaMiralaieAssistant Professor, Department of Urban planning and Architecture, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, IranJournal Article20230829Establishing a stable relationship between the three elements of man, nature and architecture is a problem that most architects and researchers seek to realize after the emergence of environmental and cultural problems caused by modern architecture. A joint is an element that mentally and objectively provides the possibility of connection or separation between different spaces. This element, while helping to understand each space separately, helps to integrate the buildings by defining the hierarchy. In-between space has played a role as the basis of spatial hierarchy in the structure of residential architecture in Iran. Nowadays, intermediate spaces, in the form of semi-public areas such as lobby, common spaces between units, public spaces such as entrances, green space between units, which is sometimes in the form of courtyard, routes to the whole and semi-private areas.

For example, the albedo of concrete and colored stones decreases over time, while asphalt becomes brighter and increases its albedo. In today's world, sustainable architecture, especially in conjunction with green architecture, plays a crucial role in the use of new polymer materials produced with smart technology and nanotechnology, with an emphasis on using renewable resources instead of the earth's non-renewable resources. Sustainable architecture incorporating green and recyclable materials offers a logical response to the challenges and problems of the industrial age. Building materials play an important role in sustainability. As a metropolis with energy consumption from fossil fuels, high energy costs, and air pollution, the city of Tehran needs appropriate solutions to reduce energy consumption. The purpose of this research is to investigate the amount of energy consumption reduction in residential buildings in Tehran by using three types of ASHRAE standard concrete, engineering system standard, and smart concrete in the external walls of residential buildings, and the result shows that the amount of energy consumption is close in using ASHRAE standard and It shows the engineering system in cladding walls and a significant reduction in energy consumption if smart concrete is used in external cladding walls.https://www.ijumes.com/article_708920_e6bcd27397f8e1e57dbd05d3d948fd56.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16284420231001Discovering the language of the residential architectural pattern of the emerging cities of western Iran based on graph and Isovist theory (Case study: Ilam City)839670905710.22034/jumes.2023.2014595.1172ENZahraParhizkariDepartment of Architecture, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, IranBehzadVasiqArchitecture and Urbanism Faculty, Jundi-Shapur University of Technology, Dezful, Iran0000-0001-5708-7045SaeidSalehi MarzijaraniDepartment of Architecture, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, IranMahmoudTeymouriDepartment of Architecture, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, IranJournal Article20230828Patterns, texture and architecture play a significant role in understanding the culture and life of a region, so knowing the customs of the residents of a region is part of the group of knowing the architectural patterns of that region. Architects have used many methods to recognize architectural patterns, such as graph and isovist theory, space layout approaches, spatial configuration. In this research, the application of this theory has been investigated in residential contexts (old, new, rural) of Ilam province. The current research is applied and exploratory in terms of purpose. To carry out this research, using the method of field studies, three old, new and rural textures of Ilam province (new texture) were identified, taken and drawn. The simulation of house maps is by using computer drawings and by means of specialized software for space layout and syntax, i.e., Space Syntax plugin in Depthmap software. Based on the detailed analysis of three types of houses - old houses, rural houses and newly built houses - different features and spatial configurations can be observed. Each type of house reflects different cultural values, lifestyle preferences and design approaches. In summary, the spatial configuration of old houses, rural houses and newly built houses show distinct characteristics and reflect different cultural values and lifestyle preferences. Understanding these spatial configurations provides valuable insights for architects, designers, and researchers in creating homes that harmonize with specific cultural contexts and meet the evolving needs of residents in diverse environments.https://www.ijumes.com/article_709057_91d912923ee248e5e197f64f4a87b25c.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16284420231001Explaining the role of cultural and social factors in the formation of the dominant architectural style of the facade of contemporary residential apartments in Sari city9710971016810.22034/jumes.2024.2018561.1189ENSeyed AliMoghaddam ZiabariPh.D. Candidate, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Sari Branch, Islamic Azad University, Sari, IranBehnamRajabifarAssistant Professor, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Qaemshahr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Qaemshahr, Iran0009-0001-8513-1426FatemehMozaffari GhadikolaeiAssistant Professor, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Sari Branch, Islamic Azad University, Sari, IranJournal Article20230825The predominance of kitsch style on the facade architecture of residential apartment buildings in the 90s in Iran, contrary to the current trend of architecture in the world, has many reasons, which in this research are based on the results obtained from field studies and the analysis of the resulting data.

The solar chimney (SC), a passive architectural component in contemporary design, can considerably lower energy usage in buildings. However, there are discrepancies between the traditional and contemporary designs of natural ventilation devices, notably with regard to where the inlet is located. Modern SCs have their inlets at floor level, as opposed to conventional SCs that have their inlets at ceiling level. In order to increase the effectiveness of inactive natural ventilation, this study intends to explore the effect of inlet location on SC performance. On June 15, 2022, at 15:00 (the warmest time of the day), simulations were performed using the ANSYS FLUENT software on a hypothetical three-story building for two possible inlet locations: ceiling and floor level. The floor level inlet had a stable airflow with an average airspeed of 0.11 m/s, but the results showed that the airflow at the ceiling level inlet fluctuated with an average airspeed of 0.15 m/s. According to the data, conventional beliefs about SC efficiency might not be true, and ceiling-level inlets are more suited for achieving SC efficiency in keeping with Iranian traditional architecture.https://www.ijumes.com/article_710524_18138231a3ffdb3185ea1bc67ba095e5.pdfIranian Sustainable Building Scientific AssociationInternational Journal of Urban Management and Energy Sustainability2538-16284420231001Explanation of green roof design Indicators in approach to improving urban landscape ecology15416671316710.22034/ijumes.2024.1990390.1119ENHosseinHamzaviPh.D. Candidate, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Bushehr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Bushehr, IranBagherKarimiAssistant Professor, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Bushehr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Bushehr, Iran0000-0001-5051-4569HadiKeshmiriAssociate Professor, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Shiraz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Shiraz, Iran0000-0001-9992-0090Journal Article20230224Green roofs due to their deep background in the architecture of the world today are among the main components of buildings that are somehow involved in urban landscape as a determining factor.

By synthesizing these indicators, the research identifies how participation quality, accessibility, and inclusive governance influence the durability and fairness of urban improvements in worn-out urban fabrics, while highlighting risks of reproducing inequalities when voices from marginalized groups are underrepresented. The objective is to articulate a coherent analytic framework that connects diverse indicators with concrete social outcomes, offering actionable insights for policymakers, planners, and community stakeholders. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates qualitative insights from participatory processes, interviews, and cultural mapping with quantitative measures of participation rates, resource allocation, and basis for trust proxies, complemented by evaluation metrics that capture changes in everyday practices, such as mutual aid and collaborative decision-making. Findings indicate that successful interventions emerge when access and participation are equitably distributed, local economies and social infrastructures are reinforced through authentic community engagement, and governance structures sustain transparent accountability and continuous feedback. The symbolic framing of spaces and the distribution of resources significantly affect perceived safety, intergroup relations, and overall social capital. Collectively, these dynamics contribute to enhanced social justice and long-term resilience in urban communities, provided that evaluation frameworks are rigorous, iterative, and inclusive, ensuring that benefits accrue to all resident groups.https://www.ijumes.com/article_729844_e7b814cfcc0750d274df1bf512487b24.pdf
