The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) proposes a new approach to correcting the theory of sustainable urban planning. The purpose of this approach was to help create a lasting relationship between residents and urban space and increase the value of urban land. This approach is based on 5 principles, which are 3 key features of cities and sustainable neighborhoods; supports compactness, integrity and connectivity. Due to the importance of the concept of sustainability, especially at the local scale, this study pays a comparative comparison of measuring the sustainability of organic and planned neighborhoods by using the indicators introduced in the United Nations Human Settlements Programme with a case study of Sajad and Noghan neighborhoods in Mashhad. This research is a type of applied research, in terms of descriptive-analytical nature and in terms of quantitative and qualitative methods. In data collection, various methods of interview, observation and field survey have been used. The data have been introduced based on the analysis of quantitative indicators and descriptive-analytical maps. Findings show that based on sustainability indicators (suitable space for street, high density, mixed use, social mixing, limiting specialized land use and access), new neighborhood of Sajad based on indicators of suitable space for street and a street network efficient, social mixing and access to services are in a better position compared to the old neighborhood of Noghan.

Housing area is one of the aspects affecting the development and housing of people, which is more in small-scale units. The development of small housing in metropolitan areas is related to the economic, socio-cultural and physical spheres. This study tries to identify and prioritize the effectiveness of small-scale housing growth indicators. The research is conducted by using a qualitative method in extracting indicators and collecting residents' opinions along with a quantitative method to determine the effectiveness of independent variables based on a mixed approach. The research question is: What are the indicators that have led to the growth of attention to small-scale housing? What is the effectiveness and prioritization of these indicators based on the views of the residents of small-scale houses in the Nawab area of Tehran? To achieve the goal of the article, among the 22 regions, Nawab area was selected based on criteria such as the frequency of small housing, access to the metro and city bus transportation network, service centers, relative uniformity of architecture and urban planning of the area. The results show that there are 23 components extracted from the subject literature in different areas, seven of which have the most impact and are: cost-effectiveness, balancing the supply and demand of housing, proximity to the city center, prioritizing The quality of the interior, increasing the variety of housing and housing a wider range, optional versus forced choice and the possibility of more savings

The feeling of security is one of the most important factors in the quality of the pedestrian environment. It is a city that is also effective in the presence of citizens. For this reason, security should be visible in the presence and supervision of active age and sexual groups of people in urban spaces. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of environmental quality components of urban space on citizens' sense of security and achieve a regular framework of factors affecting it. In order to achieve this goal, the research method is applied and in terms of how to collect information, descriptive and survey. Cochran's formula was used to determine the sample size and the sample size of 365 people was calculated. The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were calculated by Cronbach's alphabet 0.853. Findings of the study show that there is a direct, positive and significant relationship between the components of environmental quality of urban space and the components of citizens' sense of security on the central sidewalk of Hamadan. In total, the environmental quality components of the urban space have a 76% effect on the citizens' sense of security on the central sidewalk of Hamadan. The results of correlations and regression path analysis are consistent with the theoretical approach of the research and confirm the research hypothesis. In fact, in urban spaces such as the central sidewalk of the city of Hamadan, social participation and social monitoring on the central sidewalk of the city of Hamadan are connected and connected as a chain.

One of the most important environments that people in the community interact with on a daily basis is urban environments that are equipped with devices in proper places for the well-being of people. The quality of the urban environment lies in paying full attention to the qualitative and quantitative aspects of urban elements and their components. In many developed cities around the world, by combining technology and sustainable development indicators, efforts have been made to adapt the city to improve the quality of life of people in the community. In this cross-sectional case study, based on the main purpose of the research, which is to evaluate the role of urban furniture as one of the effective elements in the smart city, 51 volunteer participants completed online questionnaires. The gathered data were analyzed by SPSSWin23. This study highlights the importance of urban intelligence for most age and gender groups. According to our results, proper design for smart urban furniture, with or without the IoT system, may lead to higher degrees of urban sustainability.

This study aimed at designing a model for developing a learning city with a focus on the university role in metropolis city of Ahvaz. The research is based on the Grounded theory. The statistical population included faculty members of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz and Ahvaz municipality managers. Snowball sampling was purposeful and continued until the researcher reached a saturated decision after interviewing 23 samples. After analyzing the interviews’ data, 834 open codes extracted, 38 categories developed and following the three steps of coding, the learning city model was presented. The model focuses on the university with six main categories. The designed model could be used as a strategic or operational model in municipality of Ahvaz city. Based on the data, the consequences and implications of a collaboration between the city and university are as follows: social development and maturating of the citizens, developing social urban activities, increasing cultural and scientific associations, improving urban decisions, upgrading university and municipality cooperation, increasing public awareness and responsibility of the citizens and officials regarding the education, teaching, innovation in urban landscapes and landscape and the obligation of preparing tutorials for any projects in the learning city and improving the municipality collaboration in national and international levels.
