Livability is one of the most recent approaches in urban development that utilizes various indicators and criteria to assess the quality of urban spaces. The proposed indicators are highly dependent on the study area and the evaluator's objectives; thus, various assessment systems exist worldwide. The aim of the present study is to provide a local model for assessing livability in Iranian cities to facilitate the evaluation of the degree of achievement of livability approaches.
In this study, a descriptive-analytic and survey method is applied. In the first step, based on existing studies, a set of indicators for evaluating livability is presented, which will serve as the basis for developing a questionnaire to measure livability. Using this questionnaire, the state of livability in the Niasarm Madi of Isfahan is examined. The statistical sample includes 390 residents living along the Niasarm, determined using Cochran's formula. The data collected from the questionnaire are analyzed using SPSS software and exploratory factor analysis techniques.
According to the results, livability indicators are classified into five groups: quality of access to facilities and services with a cumulative variance of 28.48%, urban quality and environmental capabilities with a cumulative variance of 22.07%, quality of socio-cultural factors with a cumulative variance of 8.06%, quality of walkability and urban infrastructure with a cumulative variance of 7.52%, and quality of economic and managerial factors with a cumulative variance of 5.85%.
Given that enhancing livability in cities is a key issue in management systems, the application of the prioritized factors mentioned will be effective in facilitating the implementation of this approach. In the final section, proposed plans for enhancing the livability of the area, utilizing artificial intelligence tools like Bing Image Creator, are presented. Key recommendations include ensuring accessibility, addressing existing deficiencies, developing pedestrian networks, solving traffic problems, and efficient economic management

With the expansion of urbanization on the one hand and the increase in population on the other, children are being ignored in modern urban developments and the need to pay more attention to them in cities is felt. To this end, urban spaces that can meet tangible needs such as access to utilities, housing, transportation and etc and intangible needs such as a sense of belonging, security and etc are essential for children This is called urban livability. Increasing the livability of cities is directly related to increasing the attractiveness of urban environments for citizens and can itself provide the basis for sustainable urban development. It is important to pay attention to children because they are future citizens of society and they create the link between the past and the future generations. The present study, by using futures study knowledge, identified key forces in the future of children's livability. In the first phase, using the Delphi method, we first identified some of the variables affecting the future status of urban living for children, Then we extracted 47 variables that were approved by experts and received the highest score. We divided these 47 variables into four environmental, physical, social, and economic groups. Then, using structural analysis method and creating a 47 * 47 matrix, these variables were compared using MICMAC software. Finally, 7 key forces were extracted that play the most important role in the future status of children's urban livability.

مسکن ابتدایی‌ترین و حیاتی‌ترین نیاز هر موجود زنده‌ای در طبیعت، به معنا و مفهوم سرپناه است. مسکن در محله‌های کم‌برخوردار به دلیل خودرو بودن، نداشتن مجوز ساخت، استفاده از مصالح ناپایدار و ریزدانگی از کمیت و کیفیت مناسبی برخوردار نمی‌باشد. همین امر زیست‌پذیری مسکن را با چالش‌های اساسی روبرو می‌سازد. بنابراین هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی زیست‌پذیری در قلمرو مسکن محله‌های کم‌برخوردار شهر زابل است. این پژوهش از نظر هدف «کاربردی» و به لحاظ ماهیت «توصیفی – تحلیلی» است. برای تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌های پژوهش از میانگین شاخص، ANOVA و همبستگی چند متغییره در نرم‌افزار spss، جهت نمایش محله‌های شهر زابل از لحاظ ابعاد زیست‌پذیری مسکن(اقتصادی، اجتماعی، کالبدی فضایی و زیست‌محیطی) از دورن‌یابی به روش IDW و همچنین تکنیک چند معیاره EDAS استفاده شده است. نتایج میانگین شاخص‌های پژوهش نشان می‌دهد مسکن محله‌های کم برخوردار شهر زابل از نظر ابعاد زیست‌پذیری براساس رتبه‌بندی اکونومیست، در شرایط غیرقابل قبول قرار گرفته است. به طوری که بعد کالبدی با امتیاز 47.91 نامناسب ترین و بعد اجتماعی با امتیاز 56.55 مناسب‌ترین می باشد. همچنین تحلیل رگرسیون در محله‌های مورد بررسی نشان می‌دهد که بین ویژگی‌های مسکن در ابعاد مختلف با زیست‌پذیری مسکن همبستگی بالایی وجود دارد به طوری که ضریب این همبستگی 673/0 است؛ در بین ابعاد نیز ضریب همبستگی ویژگی‌های کالبدی مسکن با زیست‌پذیری با 561/0 بیشترین ضریب و بعد اجتماعی با 189/0 کمترین ضریب همبستگی را دارد. نتایج حاصل از وضعیت ابعاد مختلف زیست‌پذیری مسکن در پهنه محله‌های کم-برخوردار شهر زابل براساس روش درون‌یابیIDW نشان می‌دهد که ناحیه 1 اکثر محله‌های مورد بررسی را در خود جای داده است و از نظر سرانه کاربری های مسکونی، فضای سبز و شبکه معابر نسبت به نواحی دیگر شهر زابل با کمبودهای شدید روبرو است. در بعد فیزیکی و کالبدی محله معصوم آباد و در بعد اقتصادی محله قاسم آباد پایین‌ترین امتیاز را دارا هستند.

IntroductionIn recent decades, in parallel with theories of sustainable development and sustainable urban development, the idea of improving the quality of life, which in turn makes cities more livable, has found its place in urban planning literature and, therefore, the ability to have Livelihoods are essential for cities. This article has selected one of the most talented central cities of the country, namely Kashan city, as the scope of research, which has excellent features such as tourist attractions, historical and cultural history, natural attractions and so on. On the other hand, in this city, issues such as; Widespread unemployment and employment issues, the phenomenon of marginalization, lack of recreational and leisure facilities, high housing prices and rents, and so on. In order to eliminate these negative effects from the spaces of this city, it is necessary to identify and analyze the key factors affecting livability with a future research approach. The main question of the research is what are the key factors affecting the future situation of livability in Kashan?MethodologyThis research is based on the purpose of applied research and according to data collection methods, it is descriptive-analytical research and its data collection method is "documentary and field" in which the researcher-made questionnaire was used. The research method is based on the futures approach and its horizon is 1415. The statistical population was 15 experts and specialists. Futurism projects use a set of techniques and methods that often complement each other, and the outputs of each form the inputs to the next method. Micmac and Scenario Wizard futures software and Delphi method have been used to review and analyze the data. Propulsion forces are prioritized based on the opinion of specific experts and then these factors are prioritized based on the degree of importance and uncertainty, and the most critical factors are used to write down possible scenarios. Results and discussionIn this study, 24 factors were identified as effective factors of biodiversity indicators in Kashan. The identified factors are then analyzed with Mick Mac software to extract the main influential factors. The dimensions of the matrix were 24. 24. The degree of saturation of the matrix is 84.22%, which shows that the selected factors have a great and scattered effect on each other, and in fact, the system has been in a state of instability. According to Table 1, out of a total of 488 measurable relationships in this matrix, 88 were zero, which means that the factors did not affect each other or were not affected by each other.58 The relationship was one, meaning that the effect was relatively small. Together, 163 relationships were numbered 2, meaning that the influential interface was relatively strong, 174 relationships were 3, meaning that the key factor relationships were very large and highly effective. Finally, 93 relationships had a P number that indicated the potential and indirect relationships of the factors.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate 5 scenarios with different combinations of three situations, desirable, static and critical, which are likely to occur in the viability of Kashan city, which unfortunately, the probability of negative (critical) events is more than positive (desirable) events. However, 51.1% of the critical situation, 17.8% in the static state and 31.1% in the optimal state of the scenario page. With this situation, it seems that the favorable and stable conditions have occupied a smaller part of the scenario page and the critical situation is in the first priority and according to the results of these scenarios, it is clear that in Kashan's habitability, conditions are likely to occur. More critical, but less likely to occur. A very important point in the results is the relative distance of the level of desirability in the best case scenario with the ultimate living objectives of Kashan city. Assuming that the best scenario, which is Scenario 1, occurs among the five scenarios, it does not indicate the desired viability of Kashan in the future. In the most optimistic case scenario, one in four scenarios out of five scenarios affecting urban viability will be in an almost favorable situation, with only four desirable scenarios alone, and the other four scenarios have a much lower utility ratio. On the other hand, assuming that the worst possible situation, scenario 5, occurs in the viability of Kashan city, in this scenario we will see 6 critical situations in the scenario that we will not see a favorable situation in Kashan city.

Introduction The concept of a livable city means to be suitable for living or habitable, which has been very strong today by expanding and intensifying the problems human societies and the loose of quality of life. The phrase "livable cities" was used for the first time in 1970 by the national Arts organization to achieve their urban ideas and looking for it by other centers and research organizations such as the environmental protection organizations that has done extensive studies regarding the most of American cities was gone. Following the influence of this word in the literature related to this field can be searched in 1975 and the writings of William Marlins on the fields of livable in Saturday Review and Christian Science Monitor. In recent years, research and development in the area of sustainable cities has attracted much attention. The continued growth of urbanization with social, economic, physical, and environmental problems is creating a crisis leading to metropolitan instability, which in turn reduces the viability of metropolises. According to the standards, Tabriz's livelihoods were at a low level, and lack of proper planning would make it a city in the not too distant future where it would be difficult to live. Therefore, the necessity and importance of biodiversity debate in the Tabriz metropolis is increasing. In addition, given that Iranian cities are currently suffering from a lack of attention to existing urban contexts. In this regard, the present study aimed to evaluate the viability of Tabriz urban texture. This article is based on scientific study and tries to answer the following questions. In terms of the subjective dimension of living (objectively satisfied residents) what is the status of Tabriz urban context? Data and Method This research is applied in nature and is descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The measurement tool in this study was a questionnaire developed based on the subjective-psychological dimension of living (objective satisfaction of residents). The statistical population of the study is based on the empirical view of urban environment quality assessment, the inhabitants of old and new urban texture based on Morgan table number of 1558693 people according to the size of community and according to Morgan table is 384 people, Classified by sampling and assigned appropriately to each of the low-lying, semi-rich and rich neighborhoods respectively, 39, 70 and 42 (old tissue samples) and 100, 71 and 62 (new tissue samples), respectively given. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to analyze the data. Multivariate analysis of variance is the extension of variance analysis to situations in which there is more than one dependent variable. Results and Discussion What exactly is more socially viable, according to Winnewon? It's not completely clear, and people are happier and more satisfied in communities where their needs are better met. In this regard, due to the lack of attention to urban texture biodiversity and the increasing expansion of urbanization, upgrading the viability of Tabriz metropolitan area requires an examination of the status of urban tissues; And provide the basis for new urban development, insights, and cognition on the nature of Tabriz metropolitan urban biodiversity that identifies priorities for action to make these tissues viable in the decision environment. The results of the present study show that the overall life expectancy in Tabriz textures was below average, while the analysis of the current status of Tabriz's biodiversity in different dimensions shows that the average is generally achieved. In all aspects (urban services and infrastructure, urban environment, urban economy, urban management, urban history, and urban community), the findings were lower than average, and this is consistent with the findings of Rashidi et al (1395) who have estimated the biodiversity of Tabriz metropolitan area in comparison with Osco, Azarshahr, Bostanabad, Tabriz, Shabestar and Harris. This finding indicates that this metropolis will in the future be governed by the same current practice and managers and citizens will be not reinforce the deficiencies in the status queue, in the future the city will never move towards sustainability and sustainable development. According to the assessment made between the old and new textures of Tabriz metropolis, there is a significant difference in the viability. The results showed that the old tissue viability was higher than the new tissue based on the results due to the higher average ratings of services and urban infrastructure, urban community, urban history, urban economy, and urban management in the old tissue neighborhoods; This finding is in line with the findings of Dalir et al (1388) based on indicators of access to educational, health, daily shopping centers, weekly shopping malls, green spaces, recreational and sports centers, downtown and public transport to measure people's satisfaction with the new context Low level of evaluation, alignment. Conclusion The findings also indicate that in order to sustain the new texture, urban community, and urban management indices that have a significant difference with the old texture should be given more attention by city officials and managers. And in order to make old tissue more viable then the urban environment, which is less ranked than new tissue, must be taken into consideration by urban managers, so that proper planning for resource allocation and viability in these tissues should be emphasized. At the core of the indicators are the lower levels, so that by utilizing the available forces and potentials to achieve a comprehensive development that will bring prosperity and prosperity to all citizens.

Introduction The concept of a livable city means to be suitable for living or habitable, which has been very strong today by expanding and intensifying the problems human societies and the loose of quality of life. The word "livable cities" for the first time in 1970 by the national Arts organization in order to achieve their urban ideas and looking for it by other centers and research organizations such as the environmental protection organizations that has done extensive studies regarding the most of American cities was gone. Following the influence of this word in the literature related to this field can be searched in 1975 and the writings of William Marlins on the fields of livable in Saturday Review and Christian Science Monitor. Today, by expanding the problems of human societies and increasing their day to day (problems) has been greatly increased the quality of life indicators of residents of different places. Tabriz is one of the oldest cities in the country with regard to the historical, economic, cultural, health and industrial backgrounds of Tabriz metropolis, which has turned the city in to the first city in different fields. Today not only does not upgrade this roles and functions but also is in annihilation state. Because of its complex and multi-dimensional conceptual and its patterns vary from one region to another. So far a comprehensive model of the impact of the overall livability of cities on the present situation and the relationship between them is not defined. This paper tries to measure the present situation based on the appropriate models of Tabriz and the effect of the dimensions of livability on the situation in objective models based on scientific methods. Hence, the main objective of the present study was to determine the level of livability indices based on their impact on the situation in Tabriz metropolis using structural equation modeling technique. The output of this research helps urban managers and planners have a bright picture of the ecological sector of Tabriz metropolis. This article has been formulated based on scientific study and tracking to answer the following question. What conditions is the current condition of the city of Tabriz in different dimensions? and which indicators should be the first priority of the planners be given the amount of their impact on the present situation to achieve urban livability in Tabriz metropolis? Methodology This research is applied in terms of nature and is a descriptive-analytic method. The instrument was a questionnaire the statistical population in this research are the experts and urban managers with complete familiarity with the situation of each region, has a number of 140 people. According to the volume of society and Morgan table, 104 people selected by non-linear snow bullets and the question have taken place. Then the statues of livability using single sample T-Test and relationship between dimensions and livability in dices is analyzed with structural equation modeling whit Partial least squares method(PLS). Results and discussion Due to the increasing development of the life- level of Tabriz metropolis, requiring the main indicators and influence on the existing situation and communication between them. This research has provided new insight in to the livability of Tabriz metropolis that will detect the priorities of action in the decision space. Study of analysis of the present analyses regarding the current situation of Tabriz's livability in different dimensions generally, the average obtained in all dimensions (urban services and infrastructure, urban environment, urban economics, urban management, urban history and the urban community) were lower than the average and the results are not statistically significant only for urban community index that the results of this indicator are not generalized. Also, prioritizing indicators due to their impact on the present situation to achieve urban livability in Tabriz metropolis shows that highest share of urban services and infrastructure are (providing daily necessities in the neighborhoods, highways access, access to other neighborhoods in the city, access to workplace, the quality of water, electricity, gas and internet, Bank, quality of public transportation in neighborhoods, public transport work hours and distribution of public transport stations), that pays attention to urban managers and planners. Research findings show the current condition of Tabriz's livable situation according to the average of all ten areas in all dimensions is low that it has alignment with the findings of Rashidi and colleagues (1395) who have assessed the livability of Tabriz region in comparison with the Osku, Azarshahr, Bostan Abad, Tabriz, Shabestar and Herris. This findings with the findings of Ali Akbari and Akbari (1396), which has recognized the equitable distribution of facilities and services identified the main livability of the city of Tehran, the study of Aluria (2017) that the factors affecting on the quality of life of residents has expressed the distribution of urban services and also the ministry of Sustainable Management in India (2018) that physical index (with 45%) highest ranking in the livability standards. Conclusion This research, based on structural equations analysis shows that the services and urban infrastructure have the highest effect on the present situation of Tabriz metropolis livability In any attempt to improve the livability of Tabriz, it should be considered the role and position of this indicator. The results show that all aspects of livability in Tabriz metropolis have low average. The results of the model also show that among the influence factors on livability status, "urban infrastructure and services" and "urban environment", "urban management", "urban history" and "urban community" factors have a direct and meaning full effect, In the meantime, the "urban infrastructure and services" factor has the greatest impact which has a motivation of Tabriz metropolis livability. As a result, any program and attempt to initiate and upgrade of the livability of Tabriz status need attention to the key role of these factors. But what is particularly the achievement of the present study is preparation of appropriate bio-model with the new scientific methodology Partial least squares (PLS) based on present conditions.
