The key to the success of social life is that people are safe in places where they feel comfortable and have time to spend their time and continuously replace their essential activities with selective activities (activities that enjoy doing them). In general, one of the objectives of pedestrian street construction plans is to create a space for various social, cultural and tourism activities and to increase interactions and social participation.The purpose of this research is to organize the third places in urban spaces (the municipality of Rasht) to enhance the sense of belonging to the place. This subject has been measured in the municipality square of Rasht by assessing the indicators (sense of belonging, attendance, interoperability, evaluation of festivals and cultural events, and overall project evaluation). The method of research and gathering documentary and analytical information were based on the distribution of 350 questionnaires among the statistical population. In the inferential findings for research information analysis, one-sample t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used. The results show that the condition of the municipality of Rasht with considering such indicators (sense of belonging, attendance, interoperability, and overall evaluation of the project) is relatively fair, but the attitude and assessment of projects and cultural events according to the degree of desire in Participation and holding of festivals are relatively low and require more serious planning and attention. The results of the correlation coefficient show that there are positive and meaningful statistical relationships between all indices. Manuscript profile -

In the field of urban management, empowering citizens and influencing them in urban affairs is the core of the participatory approach. So that in the regeneration of worn tissues during the last three decades, this approach has been mentioned as the key to problem solving and effective implementation of renovation programs. But experience shows that what has been considered as participation in urban management in Iran is more about financing and instrumental use of participation. In this article, an attempt has been made to study the experience of renovation in three neighborhoods of Sirus, Javadieh and Haftchenar, Tehran, which has been implemented with the approach of physical-spatial planning and participatory planning, while enumerating barriers to participation, to provide a model for future projects. The research method of this study is qualitative and the interview technique has been used. The sample size is 30 renovation managers and experts who have worked in these or similar projects. The results indicate that the barriers can be classified into two categories of structural and factor factors. Thus, structural factors at the macro level, including organizational structures, and at the micro level, including legal factors (laws and regulations) and agency at the two micro levels, ie individual factors and macro level, ie the organizational dimension, create obstacles to citizen participation. Therefore, in order to attract people’s participation, these structural and factor factors must be coordinated with each other and a positive and two-way interaction must be established between them.

Therefore, to resolve these problems, traditional policies and approaches intervention in urban dysfunctional and worn tissues such as urban redevelopment and renovation cannot be accountable and there is a need to apply state-of-the-art patterns and approaches to place-based intervention in urban dysfunctional and worn tissues neighborhoods under the title of sustainable urban regeneration. This study intends to investigate the different dimensions of erosion and the challenges ahead in the old texture of Kashan to explain the context of sustainability realization in all dimensions of the texture with the approach of integrated urban regeneration based on analytical application. The research is categorized in practical sort in terms of purpose and analytical-explanatory in terms of using theoretical documents related to the research topic. The results show that integrated regeneration strategies in different dimensions of sustainability can be an appropriate model for resolving the problem of various types of exhaustion and the formation of a stable and intellectual spatial form in the old texture of Kashan.

However this question has been mentioned that whether this kind of regeneration will lead to more sustainable neighborhoods and communities, especially in term of social sustainability?The main goal was evaluation of direct result and long-run impacts of regeneration program on main aspects of social sustainability in two selected neighborhood of Tehran, Shamshiry and Shobiry-Ja. Following a relatively comprehensive discussion on literature review and theoretical issues, assessment framework of social sustainability fixed on 9 main aspects and more then hundred criteria which classified in 3 levels, based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Data of each criterion gathered by questionnaire (716 sample, 46 criteria), observation (14 criteria), interview and documents (37 criteria) and evaluated based on national urban standards and analytical thresholds which are prevalent in social impact assessment studies. Overall results show in a few aspects, regeneration program has made both neighborhoods more sustainable. However in many areas the program has leaded to unsustainable outcomes for communities. Foreseeable trends shows, if the current direction insist to continue without improvements, will jeopardize all achievements of program and will make the social structure of neighborhoods unsustainable.

MoreRegeneration for updating the old textures In addition to meeting the needs of the people and daily life has a meaningful reference to the identity of the old textures, which can be achieved only in the group of attention to the dimensions of tourism in all fields. The dimensions of sustainable tourism from the economic, social, physical and environmental aspects are consistent with the dimensions and indicators of regeneration. For this purpose, the intended research has used these four approaches to investigate the dimensions of urban tourism in recreating the historical context of the studied city. Our type of research is practical and its method is exploratory-analytical. The statistical population of the research is citizens living in the old context of Yazd city with a sample size of 274 people using Cochran's formula and 30 urban specialists and experts. The results of the research showed that the development of tourism has played the biggest role in the indicators of the physical and economic dimensions. Also, urban tourism has played a role in creating cultural facilities, entertainment and sports centers, increasing social relations, cultural exchanges, strengthening the city's cultural identity, developing service activities, and preventing economic stagnation. Also, the results obtained from the SOAR analysis showed that the most important impact of tourism is the participation of the residents in tourism and urban regeneration programs and plans and the creation of recreational places to attract and retain more tourists.

Meanwhile, Urban Regeneration (UR), as a policy focused on Inner-city, dysfunctional and rundown urban fabrics, has found an undeniable significance in urban planning and studies. Then, the main purpose of this research is to review, evaluate and investigate urban regeneration policy based on Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) method. Firstly, more than 300 scientific and valid texts in the field of urban regeneration were purposefully studied. After the final screening, 73 sources were analyzed in a content way as a selected document. In the second step, components and indicators of research variables were extracted and categorized. Results represent that the core categories of urban regeneration are: 1) principles of urban regeneration; 2) timeline evolution of urban regeneration policies; 3) sustainable urban regeneration strategies; 4) assessment frameworks of regeneration; 5) guiding theories for regeneration; and 6) land use-led urban regeneration. As a result, the conceptual model of urban regeneration was presented by focusing on expanded theoretical concepts. Considering extracted categories, the land use-led urban regeneration indicator has been noticed more in research studies, and the category of sustainable regeneration strategies has been given more priority. In contrast, the discussion of regenerative support theories, regeneration policy timeline and its evaluation frameworks are less emphasized than other issues. Manuscript profile -

The goal is to achieve economic growth, social dynamism, improved urban environmental quality, and ecological sustainability. Inefficient urban fabric is identified as the primary target area for the regeneration of urban zones facing numerous economic, social, physical, and environmental challenges compared to other urban areas. One crucial solution in this regard involves harnessing developmental stimuli through a series of urban initiatives and plans to address the issues in various domains of urban areas. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors of catalyst and description of their role in the model of sustainable regeneration in Kohsar city, which is one of the most important inefficient urban areas in Alborz province. Therefore, identifying the drivers of development stimuli, elucidating their spatial distribution, and explaining their role in sustainable urban regeneration are paramount. The research methodology employed is descriptive, utilizing quantitative and qualitative analyses with a focus on GIS software and employing the Moran's I autocorrelation technique. The results indicate that the physical, social, and environmental criteria are clustered, while the economic criterion is randomly and unevenly distributed in Kohsar city. The finding of the research show that in the city of Kohsar , concentrating on the economic, social, physical, and environmental capacities of the existing urban areas and distributing them in inefficient areas can play a crucial role in accelerating the process of sustainable regeneration and addressing the challenges of inefficient urban fabric.

Emphasizing the reconstruction of cultural heritage, this approach can serve as a suitable catalyst for strengthening related issues or the spatial structure of historical quarters. This research aims to reconstruct the spatial structure of the Arg quarter in Mashhad. The methodology employed is mixed (quantitative and qualitative), where initially, by defining the criteria for cultural reconstruction in both soft and hard environments and categorizing them into seven dimensions of the urban environment, the cultural criteria in the components of spatial structure were elucidated. In the second step, quarter issues in the Arg quarter were extracted through the perspectives of authors, experts, and residents using observation and interviews, then the issue network was drawn and analyzed using qualitative research analysis tools (Gephi software). The results of the research indicate that the most important issues of the spatial structure of the Arg quarter include the lack of day and night activities, neglect of social values, functional disturbances in space and activities, inappropriate environmental qualities, and the loss of a sense of place, which can be addressed by proposing suggestions for improvement based on the identified issues.
