Historical fabrics of cities are precious heritages that play a significant role in making identity for urban life throughout history. This part of the city is the manifestation of cultural, economic as well as social dimensions of the people who have lived in this part of the city during historical periods and established its cultural identity. Currently these historical fabrics - especially in cities with historical antiquitythat were once lively, attractive, and of high quality – are suffering from declined urban, economic, and cultural life due to various reasons and accordingly, they have lost their past attractiveness and quality. The present study aimed at improving the current situation of the area of Haji neighborhood in Hamadan and attempted to suggest some strategies regarding its regeneration. Date collection was performed via documentary – library method, interviews, and field studies. By determining the position of the studied area in SWOT matrix, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were identified. Then, using IE (Internal – External) matrix, acceptable strategies for the studied area were identified. Further, with the help of Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), prioritizing the strategies offered in the previous stage was performed. Results show that internal factors and competitive strategies or strength – threat strategies and also some conservative strategies have a more effective role in achieving the objectives of regeneration planning for Haji neighborhood.

Because of continuous increase in urban population and subsequent increase in number of vehicles and dependency of urban lifestyle on them, having continuous development is one of the most important problems of urban areas. So, walkability with the goal of retaining and developing urban walkable areas and priority of the pedestrians as the most important element, is being more and more noticed. So the current study with the hypothesis of: Improving walkability is effective in sustained urban development, wants to assess effective elements on walkability on the study samples: Bu-Ali & Ekbatan streets in Hamedan. The study is a descriptive-analytic study and has been done by common library tools and field watching. The basic elements of a walkable street is extracted from literature and previous studies, then has assessed them by ANP model for comparing the two streets. The findings show that Bu-Ali street has a higher scale in compare with Ekbatan street, therefore, Bu-Ali street is the first priority in terms of converting to a pedestrian-oriented area. It is recommended as well to consider respective order of categories to make policies for improvements in movement-accessibility, socio-economic, activity-movement and physical-environmental criteria. So these can create a significant advancement increasing the ability to make a pedestrian-oriented area and then a sustained city development.

Combined methodology started in the 1960s in social sciences, but the use of this method in urban studies and urbanism was very new and dates back to the 1990s. It seems that the use of quantitative or qualitative methods in different research does not consider complete and comprehensive results, follows a one-dimensional and one-way approach attitude in research and does not state all aspects and problems of social and urbanism analyses.
This study with a new and innovative look on mixed methodology states historical development, philosophical foundations, methodology paradigm, definitions and the use of different methodologies and then in addition to providing a variety of mixed plans investigates case studies conducted on various social and urbanism problems using a variety of mixed methodologies (qualitative and quantitative methodologies), on various topics of human resource development, urban open spaces, a new model of housing and neighbor design, environmental technology, public housing, and discover social capital of the city and region. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a variety of mixed methodologies and identify a variety of hidden criteria in quantitative, qualitative and mixed methodologies that affect social interactions and urbanism problems. A questionnaire was prepared with the help of MA and PhD experts' opinion in the fields and professions related to urbanism. T-test results of all analyses show that mixed methodology meets a higher level of expectations in response to the needs and expectations of social and/ or urbanism plans as well as it plays a more effective role in promoting the plans. Finally, by a summary of mixed methodologies and the use of data flow diagram and meta-inference, a functional model is provided for mixed methodologies in social and urbanism studies analyzing social and urban networks in which research results and objectives are considered, and research is advanced, developed and validated in the studied fields.

One of the most important issues in today's world is Informal settlements. Different strategies were adopted to solve this problem; at different periods that each of them has been criticized and in some cases has been rejected. Given the widespread problems dimensions that exist in these neighborhoods, there has been considering multi dimension strategies which are able to enhance quality of life in all categories in mentioned district. One of their problems is lockage of public spaces. Despite the importance of public spaces in this area, discussions and Researches studies on this issue has been neglected. Bearing in mind the recent approach for regeneration of the urban spaces, this study considered using several potential of public open spaces, especially the street as most important spaces in these districts and finally creating and renovating these spaces as catalyzer in one of saveh's informal settlements has been taken into account. Research method is qualitive through interviews, observations and field studies. What was considered as a matter of principle is that the maximum number of residents involved in the design process, because, regeneration has significant relation with participatory concept. Surveys form informal settlement of Abbasabad showed that condition of public spaces in it is unsuitable and it has been remained isolated. Based on surveying, it can be said that importance of organizing public spaces and specially streets from resident's point of view and rate of their participatory is so high. So, according to this analysis, streets were designed.

Bioclimatic design by definition satisfies the needs of human beings. It considers climatic conditions, uses techniques and materials available in the region and attempts to integrate the building with its surroundings, which contributes to the architectural identity of the district. Scarcity of fossil fuels and the resulting pollution have turned the need for using vernacular construction solutions, to the main concerns of urban planners and architects. This is particularly more crucial in rural areas with fewer resources. The vernacular buildings are a product of the accumulated experience and practice of many centuries and can constitute a continuous source of knowledge. The traditional builders understood bioclimatic aspects of building physics and it made them aware of the consequences of design choices. In order to progress in the future of architecture and sustainable building, we must first gain knowledge of the past and employ these strategies to achieve optimum energy efficiency. It’s hard to claim that vernacular constructions are completely compatible with climatic conditions; hence Proper observance of their orientation, placement of spaces and openings area (door and window), is necessary before using them as the design patterns.
Qeshm Island is situated in hot and humid climate of northern cost of Persian Gulf; with its drastic humidity level, this island has one of the toughest climates of the world. Applying the vernacular solutions for creating tolerable microclimate, is the most effective way to exploit natural means and depend less on mechanical techniques and consequently, reducing building energy consumption. The aim of the study is to assess, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the climatic design aspects of vernacular houses of Qeshm, in order evaluate the compatibility of these structures with climatic conditions. Hence, this study recognizes the bioclimatic approaches explored and exploited by vernacular inhabitants of Qeshm Island and more specifically Laft village in north of Qeshm by quantitative and qualitative analysis of fifty vernacular settlements situated in ancient rural context of this village. Considered climatic factors are studied in four main categories introduced by Mahoney tables: Building settlement. (Building orientation and spatial settlement pattern), Air movement (floor plan form), spacing and openings. Surveying mentioned parameters in fifty vernacular samples, outlines Laft vernacular houses as below: The dwellings designed in a linear pattern which include only one layer of rooms. Dwellings are oriented on East-West axis with up to 30 degree inclination to east. In order to compare these characteristics with Mahoney criteria for designing in this climate, Pattern of Laft vernacular houses are evaluated with SPSS software, one sample t test. The results proved that construction patterns including orientation of building, spacing and floor plan form are consistent with bioclimatic suggestions derived from Mahoney tables.

Living in apartments has turned into an inevitable way of life in the current century. The inhabitants of these small dwelling places feel the need to have access to open spaces. In such spaces care must be given to social factors since they are places where people visit each other. Taking factors that affect social responsibility while planning those spaces, would lead to the presence of more people in those areas. Security is a factor that influences people's presence and stay in a place. Since in the city of Ilam public open space per capita is little and increasing this space inside the city is not possible due to negligence about public open space in this city's detailed plan, increasing semi-public and private open space per capita is highly important. The authors of this article tried to find out what factors affected social responsibility in open spaces in residential complexes through the study of library documents and application of a descriptive survey by preparing an 18 item questionnaire and distributing it among the inhabitants of a "The Self-employed" residential complex in Janbazan neighborhood which consists of 900 apartments. The data obtained through the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. The analysis showed that increasing thermal comfort of open spaces in residential complexes, will lead to the presence of more inhabitants in those spaces and thus social responsibility would increase. Physical factors that cause increase in Security are provision of appropriate Closeness, absence of non-resident individuals, flooring and furniture suitable, adequate lighting at night.
