Archaeological Parks Planning for the Purpose of Developing Cultural Tourism in Different Communities: A Case Study in Ancient Area of Burnt City of Sistan
Today, cultural attractions in countries are popularizing the cultural tourism and can bring about new approaches in recognition, development, and stability for the countries. Archaeological Parks as a cultural tourist attraction is a new topic to exhibit the ancient ruins in the context of nature, environment, and their surrounding perspective. The current study with the assumption that the use of tools and attractions such as the archaeological parks are key factor in the development of tourism industry, particularly cultural tourism, is trying to focus on the investigation of archaeological park and offering proper programs for the establishment and construction of these parks. Â Ancient civilization of Burnt City of Sistan in the South East of Iran owed its existence to Helmand River which was full of water and its Delta in the fourth and third millennium BC, and indicates the interaction between history and nature in this country over years. But, unfortunately, no proper plans have been provided to introduce this ancient civilization yet. Accordingly, the required data were collected by using analytical research method and applying attributional procedures and field measuring and the potentials of the environment, tourism, and its archaeological sites were analyzed. The results show that the natural- ancient perspective of Burnt City of Sistan according to the terrain features and its historical potentials as a precious cultural symbol can play a key role to develop cultural tourism in the region and to identify important aspects of the ancient civilization in southeastern plateau of Iran. The results of the research lead to solutions and a model to establish an archaeological park in order to achieve the objectives in the region

The War Memorial Garden Design
The purpose of present research is memorial garden design of war. In this design we used concepts, elements, symbols and signs which are related to art after the war between Iran and Iraq. The war between Iran and Iraq is aimed to many culture results. It had many influences on literature, paining, photography and movie making arts that these were created for representing and preserving Islamic and idealistic values relevant to the war in Iran. In the proposed design plan, aside from the implication of symbols, the composition, texture, color and form of the elements and plants in particular, have been used to imply the abstract concept in the creation of spaces. The results of this research introduce a process for using mental and sensorial perceptions of elements. This process can be applied for implying of special concepts in the environmental. Keywords: Memorial Garden, Symbol, War, Landscape, Conceptual Desig
The Recognition of another Field of Existence in the Iranian Introverted Architecture Focusing on the Phenomenon of Mirror in the Suhrawardi's Philosophy.
Paying too much attention to the eternal power of reasoning and ignoring the latent mental spaces has created crises of the gap between the contemporary human and the artificial environment. Therefore, it seems vital to recognize the roots of the connection between the mind and the body in the fields of architecture in the past. Aiming to identify the mystical field in the Iranian introverted architecture, this study investigates another field, beyond the realm of existence mirror. The theoretical foundations of the research specifically refer to the position of the phenomenon of mirror in philosophy of Illumination and its role in the Iranian introverted architecture. The main research question refers to how the essence of space appears in the architecture. The qualitative method of this research is based on an interpretive philosophical view that uses the methodology of logical reasoning to explore the inner reality of space-place. The results show that the development of other sides of things and the recognition of the field beyond the realm of mirror would be possible by the transition from the methods of looking inside and outside in the fields of Iranian introverted architecture. Meanwhile, “the confrontation of mind and object” leads to “internal and external transformation of the human being” and creates “another realm called the world of mystics". The degree of presence in the space of introverted architecture is adapted to Suhrawardi's philosophy and passing through the seven steps of: the trouble of separation from the outside, joining to the inside, awakening, astonishment, annihilation, immersion in the depths of maze, the return and development of a mirror phenomenon, the human enters another realm of existence. At the end of this path, the mystics will appear in the interior spaces of architecture
An analysis of the landscape structure changes as an ecological approach to achieve sustainable regional planning (Case Study: Latian Dam Watershed)
The formation of modifications or conception in the landscape could possibly, be a procedure relative to its natural and non-disturbance process; and it could be hastened by the occurrence of disturbance regimes. The objective of this research is to survey the changes in a landscape structure, over a period of 30 years, to attain information, as to the current conditions of land use, utilizing landscape metrics in the watershed area of the Latian Dam, so as to analyze the results and the voids present, towards obtaining a specified sustainable regional planning for the abovementioned watershed. Land use was identified and reviewed by means of four Landsat satellite images for 1987, 1998, 2007, and 2017; and in this watershed, it was classified into four classes, (a) build-up areas, (b) vegetated areas, (c) bare lands and (d) water bodies. Subsequently, by taking advantage of 7 metrics at the landscape level and 8 metrics at the class level, the landscape structure in this watershed was quantified by utilizing the Fragstats 4.2 Software. The survey results illustrated an increment in the number of patches (NP), decrementing the mean area of the patches (AREA-MN), and increasing the Interspersion & Juxtaposition Index (IJI) signifies amplified fragmentation at the landscape level in this watershed. Similarly, the NP has also incremented at the class level, and thus, the fragmentation of patches and fragmentation in the entire three classes of land use, namely, build-up areas, bare lands, and vegetated areas has occurred. The amount of patchiness for the build-up class, with due attention to the increment in the mean area of patches (AREA-MIN), which demonstrates the fact that, this class is inclined and has a tendency towards a coarse-grained structure and a metric decrement in the AREA-MIN in the vegetated areas, illustrates that this class is prone to the fine-grained structure
