Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. Journal Article 2018 07 21 In Two types of library and field information are used to collection data and information. Three areas (social, economic and urban services) and 54 variables were used to develop the Ahwaz city areas, where the information was obtained through statistics and detailed design. To measure the sense of social security, 12 variables were obtained from the questionnaire. The sample size was calculated using 320 Cochrane methods, T-test and Pearson correlation were used to measure the level of security feeling and its relation with development. Eventually, the fuzzy inference system was used in the MATLAB environment for regulatory development and security. Based on Vicor, Area 2, the first level of development and areas 6, 7 and 8 are in the final ranking. T – test, also showed that there is a difference in security between Ahvaz urban areas. The results of the correlation test indicated that there is a relationship between the developments of regions with the sense of social security of citizens. The results of the test of the fuzzy system indicate that according to the development rate of the city of Ahwaz, the security of citizens is moderate, low and very low.

This is because of different social, physical, environmental and cultural sizes of the cities. Therefore, each city or town follows a different approach. This requires thorough research studies on investigating the criteria and related indexes and their impacts of urban structure and resilience. This study has a practical nature and uses descriptive- analytical method to identify the effective resilience factors and physical indexes of urban neighborhoods, and also to evaluating and assess the physical resilience of Kish Island’s neighborhoods. The researcher attempts to present a framework for evaluating the rate of physical resilience. Then the data was collected by field methodology and questionnaire. In the next step, the conditions of neighborhoods in terms of resilience were provided by Friedman method and the resilience condition of the neighborhoods were calculated based on the effective parameters. The results showed that Nobonyad and Arabha Neighborhoods are respectively the best and the worst neighborhoods in terms of resilience. The second, third and the fourth rank of high resilience are line of the beach and respectively belongs to Eest and Sadaf neighbuor hoods. Due to the executive capability of the findings of this research study it is possible to provide a framework for evaluating and assessing the resilience of other urban neighborhoods.

Considering the features and uses, and according to the qualities of these spaces, they are capable of extending the social domain and they can have negative or positive effect on social connections, trust, social correlations and collaborations which all are components of social capital. One of the factors that can increase the level of interactions, is the movement of pedestrian in urban spaces. This research is done to discover and analyze the effects of walkability on improving the social capital in the sample neighborhoods of Tehran Megalopolis. In this research for determining of neighborhoods walkability level, GIS, VICKOR models, Shanon entropy and AHP, and for the testing of the social capital indexes is used questioner method and SPSS software. The result of this research shows that with the correlation coefficient (0.144) between two variables, there is no meaningful relation between walkability and social capital. So, with rejecting the hypothesis of the research, it's true that it can not be said firmly that with walkability spaces we can improve social capital, but maybe it can be said that the existing spaces are not qualified enough, and with creating pedestrian – oriented spaces with qualities based on urban design principles or with improving the quality of existing spaces can be improved social capital in the urban spaces.

The green infrastructure was extracted in five completely suitable, appropriate, medium, inappropriate and completely inappropriate classes. On the other hand, landscape metrics (CA, NP, Pland, Pd, LPI) were obtained in Fragstats software environment. The results showed that Zone 1 was ranked as the most suitable class with 72% and other regions were Area Two with 51%, Area Ten with 21%, Area Four with 20%, Area Three and Seven with 17%, respectively.

In the present study, two GIS-based MCDA approaches, including global and local TOPSIS, multi-criteria decision making based on GIS system for evaluation of Elderly Friendly City in Parts of Region 6. Seven criteria, including distance from health services, distance from transportation services, security, pollution, distance from public services, sidewalks status, and distance from green space were chosen as the inputs for the GIS-MCDA process. The initial weights of criteria were calculated using Best-Worst Method (BWM). According to the results derived from global TOPSIS, there is a decreasing trend in the aged-friendliness form the northern to southern areas, while there is not any trends in the output of local TOPSIS method. Moreover, the total area of urban blocks with high values of age-friendliness using global TOPSIS (622528.46 m2) was more than local TOPSIS (401899.76 m2).

Evaluates after interventions. Different tests such as exploratory factor analysis, single sample T test, ANP network analysis process and structural equation modeling were used for data analysis. Finally, the extent of explaining and predicting the implementation of the Branch Square project on the socio-cultural developments of Branch Square neighborhoods under the influence of causal relationships among the six components was analyzed by structural equation modeling. The results showed that social motivation indices (with coefficient of T = 5.363); social interactions (with coefficient of T = 11.1818); and visual quality (with coefficient of T = 9.9402) were positive and higher than standard. As a result, the implementation of the Green Field Project has refined and enhanced the social structures and attitudes of urban people by enhancing visual quality and creating a center for social interaction and urban communication. Based on the research findings, it can be stated that this project is in transition phase and has not yet reached the final level of quality, satisfaction and social desirability. in the contemporary era, with the rise of individualism, the development of public spaces as an adjunct to human beings has become more important in bringing them closer to each other and compensating for some of the current lost social capital in the architectural and urban contexts of the past.

Consequently, in this study, the design of the intelligent organization model has been examined for the municipality to determine its executive and practical strategies and the components that affect intelligence. This study was conducted in a descriptive and analytical manner in which the required data were collected from a sample of 400 experts and scholars. Finally, the collected data were evaluated using structural equation method and the hypotheses presented in a causal structure were tested with partial least squares or PLS, bootstrapping technique, and so on.
