PROVIDING A THEORETICAL MODEL FOR EVALUATING URBAN MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE IN GREEN SPACES AND URBAN PARKS DEVELOPMENT - CASE STUDY: BEHBAHAN, IRAN

Urban green space is part of an open urban landscape covered by trees, lawns and other plants that are constructed based on human monitoring and management, taking into account the rules and regulations related to improving the living conditions, habitat and welfare of citizens. The city's green space is divided into public green spaces, semi-public green space, and street green space. Parks are classified according to their identity, importance, scale, and sphere of influence and function. In the review of thoughts and ideas about green spaces in new urbanization, three patterns and views were emerging in new ideas. The perspective of the progressive urbanists, the viewpoint of the urbanist planners, and the view of the nature-oriented urbanists, with differences in attitudes towards urban green spaces over the past 100 years result in formation and creation of specific species of parks and green spaces in cities. In this research, we tried to provide a theoretical model for evaluating urban management performance in green spaces and urban parks development of Behbahan city by review the existing literature.  Article visualizations

A REVIEW ON DESIGNING A NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER TO ENHANCE THE SECURITY OF URBAN DECAY WITH THE CPTED APPROACH

The CPTED approach is a targeted approach to the efficient and intelligent design of environmental components by employing an optimal artifact environment in reducing crime which has a significant impact on increasing social capital, improving the quality of life, and increasing citizenship satisfaction and thereby improving social welfare. New environmental design approaches emphasize that with regard to the physical structure of urban spaces and the formulation and application of special rules in them, a large amount of crime can be prevented from urban crime, in which this can be achieved by reducing the natural potential of urban areas in crime or crime. Accordingly, in this research, by considering the importance of neighborhood centers in cities and providing security in these spaces we, utilizing available resources and analytical and documentary approaches, intend to provide solutions, executive practices and universally valid principles in urban environments for improving security in them using the CPTED approach. The results of the research indicate that it is very necessary to use the CPTED guidelines and principles in neighborhood center design to increase security, and can lead to positive results. Therefore, at the end of the research, there are presented solutions for urban design and architecture of the neighborhood center that applying them to the design process and the construction and implementation can reduce the capacity of the regions to organize and form a safe neighborhood center.  Article visualizations
