Abstract Students on university campuses constantly encounter a variety of teaching and learning environments in addition to a range of difficulties, such as social and academic demands that are detrimental to their mental and physical well-being. This issue is heightened by the significance of creating healthy and restorative areas in universities to lower stress levels and restore concentration for more effective studying. The present research therefore aims to explore the students’ needs and preferences for restorative areas in the Faculty of Science at Ferdowsi University Campus in Mashhad, as well as to develop a conceptual framework demonstrating key urban design components of a restorative university campus. The present research is qualitative. 33 students from Ferdowsi University`s Faculty of Sciences participated in the structured interviews to collect data, which was then analyzed utilizing a qualitative content analysis of the conducted interviews. The study`s findings demonstrate that, from the students' viewpoint, the university campus environment has been restored through the following qualities: serene and refuge, walkability, high-quality public space, linkage to nature, coherence and extent, compatibility, and sociability. Therefore, there is a spatial component to health, and students` mental restoration can be aided by being in open and semi-open places near natural features like trees, plants, and other qualities of urban design that promote health.

Abstract ProblemFinding:Urban officials and managers have made numerous efforts in urban regeneration, but inefficiencies persist due to the lack of a proper framework to evaluate project implementation, particularly during the plan preparation process. Most studies have focused on evaluating the outcomes, not the preparation process itself.
Objectives:This research aims to identify and prioritize key criteria and indicators in the project preparation process.
Methods:A theoretical framework was developed using documentary studies. Through a comparative analytical method and expert interviews in Iran, primary criteria were adapted and their importance was ranked via a questionnaire filled out by key actors in urban regeneration projects.
Findings: Among 14 identified criteria, the most important were employer competence, project management, financial strength, public participation, and teamwork within the regeneration headquarters. In contrast, legal interactions and academic support were deemed less significant.

Conclusion: Criteria related to the power structure (authority and decision-making) are most important, while those linked to the communication structure (decentralization) are less significant.

Abstract . The quality of livability in urban areas and the explanation of the role of biological units in the promotion of social sustainability are highly influenced by functional qualities and their mutual role. Although the concept of livability has been discussed in different spatial and thematic dimensions, the investigation of its role as an influencing variable of spatial qualities and a mediating variable of social sustainability has received less attention. The present research was carried out in a descriptive-analytical and survey form using a researcher-made questionnaire in the community of residential context around the market of Ardabil city and with the aim of developing the biological quality and social life of the said neighborhood. The sample size of 384 people was obtained based on Cochran's formula. Data analysis was done with SPSS and Amos software using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that by comparing the total effect of each index on livability, it was found that the accessibility factor has the greatest effect. In addition, it was proved that the indirect effect of social stability is greater between safety and physical order and livability. This means that greater satisfaction in social sustainability can increase the impact of climate safety and comfort on livability. The research solutions in developing the security and safety of urban tissues, controlling the permeability of the communication network and improving the environmental qualities through the development of pleasant spaces have been presented.

Abstract Objectives: Even though there are existing capacities in the idea of referentiality based on the notion of index to establish a relationship between the concept and the three components of form, content, and context, a comprehensive study in this field has yet to be fulfilled. Thus, this study aims to develop a codified theoretical framework based on the idea of referentiality, whose indicators can explain the references of architectural concepts.
Methods: Using the logical argumentation method, through a qualitative and documentary study, the existing models related to the formation methods of architectural concepts were examined and compared. Data were collected through a systematic review of the literature. Data analysis was performed based on an analytical-interpretive qualitative procedure that included two stages of extracting descriptive propositions and text analogy.
Findings: The result is a theoretical framework with 42 indicators categorized into three main components: form, content, and context, as well as six sub-components: formal composition, transformational evolutionary process, meaning aspects, spatial program, the natural potential of context, and man-made potential of context.
Conclusion: If the architectural concept is regarded as signified and the determining agents as signifiers, then the effective agents in its development can be thought of as references that can be explained using indexical interpretations. According to this explanatory system, the determinate agents that progress the process of conceptualization can be explained as formal-references, contentual-references, and contextual-references in a major classification.

Abstract Aims: Social health, as one of the dimensions of health, is affected by various components. The aim of the current research is to comprehensively review the studies carried out regarding the environmental components affecting social health and to identify the environmental components affecting it.
Methods: In a systematic review study, all related articles without time and place limitations, were retrieved by available and reliable databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, SID, Comprehensive humanities portal, and Magiran which finally, 46 articles were selected as final studies related to the subject in accordance with the desired entry criteria.
Findings: According to the findings of this study, the majority of the studies were conducted in the United States and Australia. Also, the findings of the study indicate that most of the studies were related to the urban area and about the citizens and residents of the neighborhood and very few studies were conducted in the field of architecture, mostly related to residential use and a few related to cultural, therapeutic and administrative uses.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the environmental components affecting social health can be classified into 20 main groups, which mainly related to natural green spaces, third place, equipment, furniture, and access. Among the 28 social health indicators, social interaction and social relations have the highest degree of effectiveness, respectively.

Abstract Problem: Crime and various manifestations of violence and disorder are very complex social phenomena and if there is a favorable space and time, the basis for crime and its repetition is provided And over time, a geographic environment becomes a crime center. Ahvaz city has many neighborhoods and scattered activity centers and empty unbuilt spaces. And green spaces such as parks, groves and gardens are in urban contexts. which increases the probability of crime. Based on this, it becomes necessary to design a smart network of roads in Ahvaz city to provide better assistance to the police unit. Objective: To know the spatial structures of Ahvaz's road network, crime rate, analysis of the position of the police units, which plays a significant role in providing better services to the relief unit. Method: ArcGIS, EXCEL and Grafer software were used to analyze the findings. Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm and Euler's algorithm have also been used to find the shortest path. Results: The present research shows what is important in the investigation of Ahvaz police units. The spatial distribution of these centers is in terms of access and also the distance of police stations to each other. According to the routing analysis provided with GIS, Moghimizadeh Street is the least far from the crime-prone area with a distance of 8 meters.

Abstract Aims: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance of the form of large-scale office buildings in Tehran and to achieve an optimal shape of the form to provide annual thermal and visual comfort in accordance with the 4th edition of the 19th Topic.
Methods: This is an applied research of the theory-building type, which has investigated the relationship between form geometry and sDA, DGP and PMV variables in order to achieve the goals. The research method is descriptive-analytical, after extracting the library, the primary data has been validated in the field, and it has been modeled and simulated with DesignBuilder software and Honeybee plugin in Grasshopper. Also, the analysis of the data obtained from the simulation has been done with interpretation and comparison.
Findings: The rectangular form with two central courtyards has the best status in PMV index and the worst in terms of DGP. The proposed subspecies of the mentioned form with a ratio of core to shell of 2:1, while maintaining the conditions of PMV, was able to be placed in the standard mode from the point of view of sDA and DGP.
Conclusion: The form of most of these buildings is not suitable for providing thermal and visual comfort conditions according to the 19th topic. Designers can use the rectangular form with the suggested core-to-shell ratio of 2:1 to meet the requirements and obtain the EC category of this subject.
