Approche empirique de la restructuration urbaine : application d'un Système Multi Agent (SMA) à Strasbourg 1982

The impact of spatial characteristics on the dynamics of urban development is a topic of great interest in urban studies. The interaction between the residents and the spatial characteristics is of particular interest in the context of urban models where some of the most famous urban models have been based on the process of individual settlements in some specific parts of cities.This research investigates the dynamism of urban development modeled by Cellular Automata and Multi-Agent System. The urban development, in this study embraces urban renewal and residential mobility. It corresponds to the residential mobility of households, attracted by residential and centrality comfort; these comforts are crystallized in some areas and residences of Strasbourg. The diversity and quality of these comforts become criteria for residential choice in a way that the households seek for proximity to these comforts.The Cellular Automata in this study, models the spatial characteristics of urban spatial units and they are identified by some inherent attributes that are equal to the comfort in residences and urban areas. The Multi- Agent System represent a system in which the population of the city interact between them and between them and the city; the agents delegate the socio-professional classes of households. During the spatiotemporal change, the aspiration of households forms the socio-spatio-temporal development of the city.L’Impact des caractéristiques spatiales sur les dynamiques de développement urbain est d’un grand intérêt dans les études urbaines. L’interaction entre les résidents et les caractéristiques spatiales est d’un intérêt particulier dans le contexte des modèles urbains car de nombreux modèles urbains sont fondés sur le processus d’installation des individus dans des parties spécifiques des villes. Il s’agit d’une étude sur la dynamique de développement urbain avec des Automates Cellulaires et un Système Multi-Agent. Le développement urbain de cette étude recouvre le « urban renewal » et la mobilité résidentielle. Il correspond à la mobilité résidentielle des ménages qui sont attirés par le confort résidentiel et le confort de centralité ; ces conforts sont localisés dans quelques quartiers de Strasbourg. La diversité et la qualité de ces conforts deviennent des critères pour les choix résidentiels de telle façon que chaque ménage recherche la proximité de ces conforts. Dans cette étude l’Automate Cellulaire modélise les caractéristiques techniques des unités spatiales, celles-ci sont identifiées par des attributs inhérents qui sont égaux aux conforts dans les résidences et dans les zones urbaines. Dans le Système Multi-Agent la population de la ville de Strasbourg interagit entre elle et avec la ville. Les agents représentent les classes socio-professionnelles des ménages. Pendant un changement spatio- temporel, l’aspiration des ménages forme le développement socio-spatio-temporelle de la ville

Cultural Engineering in Shaping Islamic Architectural Pattern

Culture as the norms of a society endures a significant role in the structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Also, architecture as a visual example can also be considered as the vital core of a nation's culture. Thus, creating an efficient model based on Iranian-Islamic culture is require in the field of architectural studies. In this study, the cultural components of Islamic - Iranian architecture are clarified and enlightened. These components create architectural spaces based on the pattern of Islamic - Iranian culture and thus increase the cultural quality of the phenomenon.  In the process of this research, after expressing the necessary prerequisites and concepts on the subject of Iranian Islamic architecture and the allocation of such topics with cultural concepts, through the design of models and approaches with the help of common cultural patterns and ideas, in order to scientifically prove such prototypes and expressions of the expert discourse community, the Delphi technique and a Likert scale questionnaire with a statistical population including elite scholars related to the mentioned topics, titles and indices were prioritized. After confirming the validity and frequency of responses in SPSS software, including descriptive analysis of variance, mean and Cronbach's statistics, the statistical results indicate that initially there is a high correlation between the questions proposed in the questionnaire and the relevance of architectural components and cultural indices. Also, the questionnaire has high reliability. Research objectives: 1. Explaining the cultural components of Islamic-Iranian architecture model (cultural engineering in Islamic architecture of Iran) 2. Providing a standard for designers as well as architectural management assistants for the purpose of evaluating and assessing architectural designs. Research questions: 1. What are the common features of Iranian-Islamic architecture and Islamic-Iranian culture? 2. What are the cultural components of Iranian-Islamic architecture based on cultural attachment characteristics
