Abstract
Aims:
The aim of the current research was to investigate the factor structure of the bio-aesthetic quality assessment questionnaire.

Methods:
The descriptive-correlation research method was based on confirmatory factor analysis. The statistical population of the research was the residents of residential areas in Khosroabad, Terechian, Aghehzaman and Sartpoule neighborhoods of Sanandaj city. Using available sampling method, 214 people were selected as a statistical sample.The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of four components of perceptual, cognitive, social and biological aesthetics and 13 criteria and 49 sub-criteria. Data analysis was performed using first-order and second-order confirmatory factor analysis, one-sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey's post hoc test.

Findings:
The findings showed the confirmation of the factorial structure of the bio-aesthetic quality questionnaire.The level of perception of bio-aesthetics in total and in terms of four dimensions was significantly higher than the average. A significant difference was observed between the perception of the sample of bio-aesthetics according to the residence history and residential environments

Conclusion:
According to the findings of the research, the construction and validity of such a tool can provide the basis for conducting wider and deeper studies in the field of bio-aesthetics and help to better understand this complex concept.

Abstract Statement Problem: The space adjacent to the home, is the first important space where children communicate with the outside world. Research has been conducted in Iran and the world regarding children and these spaces, and each has looked at the subject from a different perspective.

Aim: The present article aims to analyze and interpret what has been published so far in Iran, and to prevent repetition and find existing research gaps, and conducts a systematic review of previous studies in the period 2007 to 2024.

Methods: Therefore, 50 articles were selected and reviewed based on the PRISMA guidelines, and by studying their structure and content, the current research vision was outlined.

Results and Conclusion: The results indicate an increasing volume of articles in the field of children and neighborhood. The content classification of the articles examined shows that most of the topics have not reached saturation and there is room for future research. Conducting a small number of studies on some topics and only in a specific context such as the route to school, not paying attention to children with special conditions, not paying attention to children's interaction in the context of spaces adjacent to the home with other children, youth, and the elderly, focusing a large number of studies on Tehran and a few other provincial centers, and not conducting research in other cities and villages, and not determining the age of the child studied in some studies are some of the problems with studies in this field.

Abstract Objective: One of the effective factors in this direction is the purposeful use of green elements and surfaces, and how to use them in the neighborhood is the main issue of this research. The purpose of this research is to improve the experience in the space and more connection with the landscape in urban neighborhoods through increasing the interaction with natureو

Method: The research method used in this analytical-descriptive research is a case study type and data collection is done through library and field studies.

Findings: Today, the relationship between the city landscape and the sense of belonging in the neighborhoods is of great importance. Because humans are constantly interacting with the city, the result of this interaction is the urban landscape. The landscape of the city is the citizens' perception of the city, which is obtained through its symbols. Therefore, the dependence of the understanding of the landscape on the history of being in the city, causes different layers to be recognized for the landscape. Communication with different layers of the city landscape is an effective factor in strengthening citizens' sense of belonging to the city, which is doubly important in urban areas. Increasing the sense of belonging causes a stronger bond between the audience and the place. As a result, the sense of belonging can be considered one of the most important criteria for measuring the quality of the environment. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the legibility and increasing the sense of belonging in the design of the city landscape. One of the effective factors in this direction is the purposeful use of green elements and surfaces, and how to use them in the neighborhood is the main issue of this research.

Conclusion: The results of this research are the definition of operational models in the Hakimieh neighborhood of Tehran, in order to improve the interaction of citizens with that neighborhood and emphasize the targeted use of plants and green surfaces.

Abstract Objectives:

Urban public spaces, as platforms for social interactions, have significant transformed with the advent of digitalization and the expansion of social networks. These contribute to the formation of multidimensional representations and perceptions of urban spaces, by enabling the sharing of images, videos, and narratives about public spaces. The main challenge lies in addressing these rapid transformations. The purpose of this research is representation and analysis of urban public spaces transformation in social networks.

Methods:

Study was conducted using systematic review. The main question focuses on "what" and description and exploration. The data includes selected scientific articles from the Scopus (2014–2024), and thematic analysis was employed to identify the key components of transformation and representation in social networks.

Findings:

The findings clarify the link between public space transformation and social networks through the lenses of analysis type, data, scale, and typologies. Furthermore, the representation of urban public spaces in social networks is explained through 16 dimensions: enhancing sense of place, local community perception, spatial awareness, the success of spaces, highlighting everyday-life, participation and freedom of expression, reflecting urban events, visual aesthetics, rebranding spaces, diversity, environmental perception, changing mental imagery, presence experience, reinforcing collective memory, and social interactions.

Conclusion:

Social networks, by facilitating visual and textual representations, provide an opportunity to redefine transformations and create a new image of public spaces. User-generated data can assist urban designers in improving management of spaces. To fully exploit these capacities, it’s necessary to balance digital use and preserve the social characteristics of spaces.

Abstract problem: The public space is a major part of the cities, and for this reason, it is at the core of urban studies and many different fields, from sociology, geography, political science, anthropology, architecture and philosophy to planning. In the last decade, the public space of the city as a facilitator of urban justice has attracted increasing attention and discussion in urban research, policy making, and public debate.

Aim: Turning to the topic and issue of the article, the aim is to explain the framework of justice measurement of urban public spaces with an emphasis on gender justice.

Method: In the present study, it was tried to extract the indicators of fair urban public spaces from the perspective of gender by using the systematic review method, and then the indicators were categorized into appropriate components and compiled in the form of a framework.

Findings and Conclusion: The findings of the present research showed that 86 indicators have been proposed in global studies as indicators of gender-equitable urban public spaces and they are in 16 components of emotions, compatibility with the context, use of natural elements, environmental quality, security, sociability, Presence, diversity, efficiency, responsiveness, access, physical conditions, event-oriented, chastity and welfare facilities and 7 perceptual dimensions, environmental, social, spatial, physical, religious-cultural and Urban management are categorized.

Abstract Problem: Due to the severity of air pollution in the Azadi Terminal area and the investigation of the possible plan to transfer Azadi Terminal to Ekbatan Town, considering the undesirable consequences of this transfer, it is necessary to evaluate the social impact of plan.

Objectives: The main objective of this research is to evaluate the social impact of "transferring Azadi Terminal" to Ekbatan in order to become aware of the hidden functions of plan.

Method: The present article is a qualitative method and field observation and interviews were used in data collection, document review, and content analysis was used for data analysis.

Findings: The evaluation of the terminal relocation plan, consisting eight stages(delineation of the area under intervention, identification of possible impacts, assessment of these impacts, determination of possible reactions of affected parties, assessment of secondary and cumulative impacts, proposal of changes in the intended action and its alternatives, corrective plans, implementation of the monitoring program) shows that implementation of this plan will have negative consequences in the economical, cultural, environmental, health and sanitation, transportation areas, and will weaken social relations and norms, social capital, security, law and order, and will reduce the ability of residents to deal with crises and raise demands.

Conclusion: The results of this research show that the relocation plan to Ekbatan town is not feasible and since the town's lands are communal, any intervention and occupation in it without consent of residents and approval of the Article ₅ Commission will not bring about desired result.

Abstract In today's urban design, it is crucial to consider the climatic conditions and thermal comfort of users in open spaces. The city's thermal conditions and microclimate significantly impact citizens' health and comfort, influencing their mental and physical performance. Women's usage of urban spaces differs from men's due to their heightened sensitivity to environmental conditions. Understanding the needs and conditions of women's presence in urban spaces is essential for sustainable design and construction. This research aims to compare the thermal comfort of women in Yazd's historical neighborhoods based on the PMV index. By employing a combined quantitative and qualitative approach and software analysis (Basic ENVI-met 5.6), the study compared the thermal comfort index (PMV) of women in these neighborhoods. The findings suggest that implementing suitable vegetation and shading with high crown density, creating sectional vegetation in various locations, using canvas materials on the floor and walls, and incorporating bright colors can make a highly favorable thermal comfort environment for pedestrians, even in the winter season.
