The urban environment quality approach, as one of the newest paradigms for the revitalization of urban areas, has a tremendous impact on the quality of life and sustainability of its residents, and its combination with creative approaches such as urban branding can lead to growth and excellence. urban areas and increasing the competitiveness of the city. Based on this, the aim of the present research is to analyze and evaluate the quality of the urban environment of Isfahan metropolis from the perspective of urban branding, and for this purpose, the urban areas of Isfahan metropolis were selected as a study case. The current research is based on the objective of the applied type and in terms of the method, the descriptive-correlation type and the method of data collection is documentary and field. The statistical sample size includes citizens living in the 15 districts of Isfahan metropolis. The sample size is estimated to be 337 questionnaires based on the population of 3072642 in 2015 and distributed according to the population of each region. In the present study, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the structural equation method were used in the Smart PLS software environment for data analysis. The results obtained from the research show the positive, strong and significant impact of the branding variable on the quality of the urban environment with an impact coefficient of (0.833), which means that with a change of one unit in the factors and indicators of urban branding, the variables The quality of the urban environment also changes in a favorable direction.

The main goal of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of urban prosperity on urban livability in Rasht metropolis. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. The statistical population of this research includes all the citizens living in Rasht city, whose number is equal to 679,995 people based on the census of 2015, and the required sample size was determined to be 384 people using Cochran's formula. After completing the questionnaires and the collected data, it was analyzed using SPSS and EXCEL software and one-sample T-tests and multivariate regression to investigate the effects of urban prosperity on urban livability.The results of the one-sample T-test show that Rasht city is not in a good state in terms of urban prosperity and livability indicators. In such a way that out of six indicators of prosperity, only one index of quality of life with an average of 3/01 has a favorable situation and the rest of the indicators are in an unfavorable situation. Also, among the indicators of livability, only three indicators are above average, including public education, quality of public space, and quality of natural and good landscape, and other indicators are below average. The results of multivariate regression showed that there is a significant relationship between the effects of flourishing and livability according to the significance level (0/001); In the meantime, the quality of life index with a beta value of 0/534 had the greatest impact on the livability of Rasht city, and the environmental sustainability index with a beta coefficient of 0/102 had the least impact on the

The aim of this research is to investigate the spatial structure of Tabriz Metropolis based on functional nuclei. The research method is descriptive-analytic research of causal-correlation type. Data collection was done in a library method. Data includes urban activities that are extracted from the census. The number of activity indicators is 25, which is classified in five main industrial, commercial, administrative, financial, service and recreational categories. And these are considered as metropolis functional nuclei. To analyze the distribution of functional nuclei from the kernel density estimation method, for analyzing spatial patterns from the mean center and the elliptic of the standard deviation, spatial correlation modeling of geographical weight regression and least squares regression have been used. The results of the research show that the spatial patterns of the functional nuclei are single-core. Tabriz is still far away from the formation of a multi-core metropolis and core subsidiary have not yet succeeded in attracting their activities and population. Spatial correlation results also show that there is a positive relationship between functional nuclei and population distribution and strengthening functional nuclei will focus the population, especially in the city center.

Since the process of increasing urbanization and its effects, has been made more important the necessity of planned about urban development. Some of the problems about this that we face are: metropolises issues, decreasing the quality of life due to more density of population and activities, new towns strategy buildings - especially in the middle of latest centaury - Thus, this model has been used in many countries (in past decades) and also it has been started since 1357 with the aim of housing for industry workers, and after the Islamic Revolution, mainly to absorb the metropolis crowd overflow.
Now, after more than one-fourth century and beginning of attracting population process for some of new towns, the main purpose of the article is the answer to this question, that "how much this policy was successful?". And we compare the performance of Sahand new town about the absorption of Tabriz metropolis crowd overflow with prior goals that are based on documental and survey methods on sample include 350 household, production and servicing units.
Findings show that, Sahand new town was clearly retarded of contingency planning about buildings, especially population absorption and employment. But the predicted performances to attract the overflow crowd of Tabriz and provide house, some deal orientation resolved to realize the goals.
