The change in spatial development patterns from agriculture life into industry and then, service sector, and in response, changes in spatial paradigms of settlement and development, has led to concentration of population and resources of development in cities and mega cities. This concentration is followed by contradictions and conflicts in interests and behavior which can be a contextual preparation for crime along with making improvement in higher degrees of quality in life, especially when physical development of city lacks a comprehensive spatial planning. Thus, this research aimed to study crime patterns and its spatial analysis in urban and peri-urban areas and their application urban planning. On a descriptive-analytical approach and by applying meta-synthesis, it investigates prior research articles on related domain. Results show that factors such as population density and social ecology can prepare opportunities for crime, but different communities respond to such opportunities in different patterns. Comparing results within Iranian cities to other global locations made it clear that the research on patterns of crimes in Iranian cities is distinct from foreign countries’ cities both in terms of form and content. The results and conclusions of this article can be used by urban planners and managers in formulation and implementation of spatial plans and policies especially for high-risk areas.

The rapid growth of the urban population has caused problems. One of the new approaches to problem-solving is smart cities. This study aims to investigate the compatibility of smart cities with their context. Research is a fundamental-applied study; where the meta-analysis method as one of the meta-study methods, and the content analysis method have been used. The methodological approach is mixed (quantitative-qualitative) and the data obtained this research, including 70 sources (mainly from 2011 to 2021), has been library datasets. Findings show that most of the reviewed resources in terms of titles, do not have a title similar to the research topic and in terms of the content, a small number of resources have paid attention to the issue of context in smart cities. some previous studies have emphasized the need to do this issue, and this indicates that the challenge of contextualization in smart cities needs to be further substantiated and documented, and the results of this study confirms the claim that the subject under discussion will have an important implication in urban planning literature.
