In recent decades, the establishment and use of bicycles has become popular in many cities of the world, and the birth of shared bicycle systems has actually increased its prosperity. Despite this issue, the use of this strategy in the system and management of intra-urban transportation in Iranian cities is less visible. The aim of this research; is Investigating the public acceptability of using bicycles in the small town of Aq Qala. The approach of this research is qualitative with the logic of deductive reasoning and its nature is survey research. In order to collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire was used and a sample size of 400 people was used. Based on this, the findings of the research show low efficient of public acceptance of bicycle use and significant weaknesses in the social dimensions of bicycle use in the city of Aq Qala and the lack of significant confirmation of the correlation coefficients of variables such as “attitudes”, “Injunctive norms” and even “perceived usefulness” with the behavior variable. In this context, the lack of belief in the bicycle as a means of travel is seen, and the attitude of sports to the bicycle is more visible. The results of the multiple linear regression test of the research also indicate the significance of the whole model and the existence of a relationship between the socio-psychological variables of the research as well as significance of the three affecting variables of awareness (+0.292), descriptive norms (+0.243) and individual affectivity (-0.312) with the adjusted

Urban streets are dynamic spaces with a sense of movement, which are designed for use by pedestrians and riders, or sometimes only on foot.These spaces often do not respond properly to the needs of the people who use them, and people look at the street as a path just for riding.The purpose of this research is to fully and comprehensively identify the effective indicators in improving the quality of city streets.This research is practical in terms of purpose and in terms of method, using the Delphi technique and the method of structural equations.By using documentary and library methods, opinions and views of experts have been summarized and presented in the form of default indicators.In the first stage, the statistical population of the research was considered to be 20 experts in the field under study.Based on the results of the questionnaire,the initial indicators were analyzed in several stages using the fuzzy Delphi technique, and the final indicators were measured for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.In order to finally confirm the indicators extracted from the first stage, confirmatory factor analysis method was used to create a structural equation model. In this section, due to the unknown statistical population, using Cochran's formula, the size of the statistical population was considered to be 384 normal people. Finally, using Friedman's test, the indicators were ranked to determine the effectiveness of each one.The results of the findings are a complete identification of the effective indicators identified in improving the quality of Shahid Beheshti Street in Karaj.

Third places, as one of the most obvious arenas of identity,culture, and civilization, are a suitable platform for finding a comprehensive view of the quality of urban environments and citizens' quality of life. The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of urban third places in the environmental quality of Ahvaz City.This research was conducted with a quantitative approach, using a survey method and relying on library-documentary studies in 1402 in Ahvaz City. The statistical population is all the citizens of Ahwazi (885,000 people) in 2015, which were evaluated using Cochran's formula of 390 people as a sample size and randomly using a researcher-made questionnaire. ANOVA tests, regression analysis, one-sample t-tests, path analysis, etc. were used to analyze the data. The findings show that all 10 investigated indicators were higher than the base average(3). It was also determined in the regression model that the predictor variables explain(R2=0.741) the variance of the criterion variable(environmental quality).And region6(average 4.08) was superior to the other 8 regions of Ahvaz in terms of environmental quality.

Most spatial research is done using quantitative or qualitative research methods and techniques such as observation or survey, and their results clarify part of the spatial dimensions. The question of finding the right way to analyze a space has always occupied the minds of researchers. The aim of this research is the comparative analysis of two methods of spatial syntax, which focuses on spatial structure, and the project approach for public spaces (PPS), which focuses on the quality of spaces through defined indicators such as sociability, accessibility, uses and activities, comfort, and image. has, which makes it possible to understand the socio-cultural characteristics of the studied area. This research uses these two methods to measure the spatial quality of the market of the historical city of Tabriz. Quantitative values of spatial syntax include integration, connectivity, and comprehensibility as data measuring the spatial quality of the market. As a result of this study, there are differences between the results of the PPS method and the spatial structure analysis data. This difference enables the identification of qualitative parameters that are dependent and independent of the spatial configuration. Through this combined approach, the effect of spatial configuration on spatial quality is investigated. At the end of this study, it is concluded that the combination of these two methods can provide a new alternative approach for comprehensive and reliable results in measuring the quality of spaces.

The recent developments and the speed of construction in cities and the subsequent disorder in the appearance of urban spaces require a more careful look at the issue of the urban landscape and at a smaller level the issue of the urban landscape.In order to provide solutions for improving the quality of facades of residential buildings, Tehran city was chosen due to the experience of forming facade committees in the last decade in the municipal structure. According to the level of effectiveness and performance, the effective actors were classified into two categories: urban management (decision-making, decision-making, and executive) and inclusive stakeholders (land, design, construction, public). Research data were identified, coded and analyzed using qualitative content analysis method with inductive approach and semi-structured in-depth interviews with influential people (urban management category). Therefore, the axes hidden in the text, the emphasized topics, the most used terms, the causes, the contexts and the current conditions of facade management and its improvement solutions were obtained from each of the interviews and by showing the hidden systems and recurring patterns. Conceptual models and maps were created.The analysis of the results determined the factors affecting the appearance of residential buildings in the order of importance including "documentary", "management and legal", "social", "design (designers)", "technology", "theoretical", "economic" and "executive". and the solutions for improving facade quality include a hierarchical structure with the aim of providing key information to effective groups (actors) and based on a broad perspective of criteria.

The current research is descriptive-quantitative. In order to collect information with the aim of measuring the impact of the degree of attachment to the city as well as the individual characteristics of the citizens on the occurrence of pro-environmental behaviors among the citizens, a number of 402 questionnaires were completed by the residents of Rasht city. The data obtained from the questionnaires were quantitatively entered into the SPSS software and then modeling and analysis of the findings were done using the Smart PLS3 software. The results of the research showed that, contrary to expectations, there is no effective relationship between the indicators of individual attachment to the place, place of birth, length of residence and level of education on the environmental protection behaviors of citizens; But on the other hand, the modeling results showed that in the first step, the environmental protection behaviors of the citizens have the most connection and effectiveness with the social attachment of the citizens to the place or the city, and there is a significant link between these two variables, so this variable It can be an important factor in the formation and direction of citizens' minds in order to support the environment of their city. Then, in the next step, a number of individual characteristics of citizens, including age and marital status, also affect the environmental protection behaviors of citizens, and there is a direct relationship between them.
