A method for designating viewing locations based on historical images and preferences in urban view corridors in Masoumeh Shrine, Qom
The urban view corridors management tool is responsible for protecting and enhancing the public perception of city landmarks through height-threshold regulations. One of the fundamental steps in urban view corridors management is the designation of viewing locations. To date, historical images have not been used to determine viewing locations. Therefore, the primary objective of this research is to formulate a new method for Viewing Locations Des…
Perceived urban green spaces and youth mental health in the post-Covid-19 era
Introduction The urban green space (UGS) is one of the most significant urban spaces with unique visual and social features, including pleasant air, low noise, and vitality, making it a recreational place for citizens, especially the youth. According to previous studies, perceived green space and the interaction with it is associated with mental health and lower symptoms of anxiety and depression. Although the presence of urban and blue-green spa…
Resilience in the dust
Green space and the health of the older adult during pandemics
The influencing factors of elder-friendly public open spaces promoting older adults’ health in deprived urban neighborhoods
Background: Public open spaces (POSs) is considered a feature of the built environment that is important for physical, mental, and social health during life and contributes to active aging. Hence, policymakers, practitioners, and academics have recently focused on indicators of elder-friendly environments, particularly in developing countries. Objective: This study aimed to examine the attributes of POSs and socio-demographic status that positive…
Towards resilient place emphasizing urban form
Measuring the effects of Compactness/Sprawl on Covid 19 spread patterns at the neighborhood level
Evidence-based urban design studio
Designing public space can take an interdisciplinary approach to urban space design by highlighting the relationship between urban design research and practice. This research attempts to educate students as ‘researcher-designers’ by applying practical techniques such as Place-check and Gehl’s public life-tool in a review of how public space design is taught in a studio course on our Master’s degree in Urban Design. This study uses action-research…
An evaluative model for assessing pandemic resilience at the neighborhood level
Spatio-temporal patterns of the Covid-19 pandemic, and place-based influential factors at the neighborhood scale in Tehran
A conceptual framework for auditing the physical integrity of historical districts
Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework for defining the notion of “physical integration” regarding the Iranian bazaar as the main component in the structure of traditional Iranian cities. Applying this conceptual framework to the historical bazaars in the cities of Kerman and Shiraz, this study seeks to pave the way for restoring the physical integrity of such historical districts. Design/methodology/approach The r…
An ecological approach to the development of an active aging measurement in urban areas (Aamu)
The present researchers have developed the active aging measure for urban settlements (AAMU), which can be used both by policy-makers and as an informal self-reported statement among the elderly. AAM's results in the elderly's residential environmental communities can improve policy-making to address urban design to sustain an active, healthy life among older people in urban environments
Towards a framework for driving sustainable urban regeneration with ecosystem services
Principles in practice
Urban resilience is one of the most debated concepts that confronts environmental, socioeconomic, and political uncertainty and risk. Decision-makers cannot deploy substantial principles of resilience in urban design practice unless they have a vivid operational definition. To form a clear definition for Resilient Urban Design (RUD) in practice, this research connects the approach of urban resilience and urban design principles. This framework in…
Knowledge and innovative spaces
Several countries are planning urban districts as knowledge and innovation spaces (KISs) to achieve economic and cultural goals. The literature shows that urban planning qualities such as place qua
Towards a framework for facilitating the implementation of Tactical Urbanism Practices
Collective memory and urban regeneration in urban spaces
Urban regeneration through heritage tourism
In spite of its influential history of saffron production and carpet weaving, as well as its notable urban historic fabric, the historic city of Birjand, Iran, has lost its original appeal due to various social, cultural, economic, and physical problems. This research investigates the potential for heritage tourism to help regenerate a declining historic city by utilizing urban cultural capital. This case study utilizes a conceptual framework of …
Designing Urban Customs and Border Marketplaces
Even though Iran’s borders are vast, shared with seven neighboring states, its borderlands are socially and economically deprived owing to their remoteness from the capital and their marginal location on the national periphery. Therefore, considering the need for border development is essential. Because so many borderland residents survive through border-related commerce, improving this peripheral economy should lead to better economic developmen…
