Today, the absence of legitimate comprehension of the peculiarity of climate change and its ramifications on different areas in Iran, has caused different difficulties for residents, administrators and organizers; These challenges include agricultural decline, drought and floods, poverty, and increasing migration. Along these lines, this study means to explore the impacts of climate change on spatial-locational population changes in Iran, and furthermore, for the subsequent advance, a more itemized investigation of the examination region, i.e., climate migrants living in the city of Karaj. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical and its nature is causal (post-event). This research is cross-sectional in terms of time and covers the period of 1996-2016. The findings of the study, which is the product of data analysis and mapping, as well as 400 questionnaires filled out in 8 districts of Karaj, show that the cause of more than 10% of migration to Karaj is due to the climate change. The city of Karaj had climatic migrants from 9 territories of the country, a large portion of which were from Khuzestan territory. Additionally, the biggest number of climatic migrants live in two zones: Zone 2 and zone 5 of Karaj city. The greater part of the climate migrants has chosen Karaj as their home city because of open positions, the vicinity of Karaj to Tehran city and the low residing costs in this city contrasted with Tehran.

In this research, the role of smart cities and stakeholders in the development and utilization of smart city technologies for achieving future cities was examined. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on urban management and the need to eliminate or restrict harmful phenomena in people's daily urban life were investigated.   Using a theoretical framework and conducted research, the effective factors in smart urban management in dealing with pandemic diseases in Karaj city were identified as "smart innovation," "smart energy control," "smart transportation and communications," "smart sustainability," "smart governance," "smart participation," and "smart information system." The results of the one-sample t-test indicate that, from the perspective of urban experts and managers, the variables "improving public transportation system through online and internet-based projects," "access to information and data needed by citizens through a display," and "improving integrated travel planning through mobile internet platforms" had the highest average scores. From the perspective of healthcare professionals, the variables "benefiting from expert opinions outside the urban management structure," "organizing collective webinars for reporting at the local level by citizens to urban management institutions," and "access to information and data needed by citizens through a display" had the highest average scores, indicating the importance and significance of these components in the target population. In fact, these results indicate that the development of smart cities and the utilization of new technologies in urban management can be highly effective in dealing with pandemic crises such as the COVID-19 epidemic. For example, through smart approaches, communication, energy control, innovation, and public participation can be improved in urban management. Finally, based on the obtained results, it is recommended that urban management in the intervention area (Karaj city) should focus on the development of smart transportation, the establishment of smart geographic information systems, and the promotion of smart participation. Additionally, it would be beneficial for urban managers and professionals (especially in Karaj city) to consider these seven factors specifically in their managerial decision-making when facing pandemic crises.

The expansion of urbanization and the many issues and problems arising from it in urban life have made it more necessary to pay attention to all aspects of urban development and prosperity. In this regard, the examination of cities based on the urban prosperity Index as a broad and comprehensive conceptual framework is an important issue in the discussion of urban planning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the comparative evaluation of the eight districts of the Karaj City based on the Urban Prosperity Index (CPI). The research method is descriptive-analytical and its purpose is applied. This research is based on the method of descriptive-analytical research and based on practical purpose. The method of data collection was documented-library, and the method of their analysis was quantitative-qualitative. Also, Shannon Entropy methods (to calculate the weight of the criteria) and WASPAS multi-criteria decision-making technique have been used to analyze data and information. The results of the research show that the condition of Karaj metropolitan areas is very unfavorable condition in terms of productivity indicators and infrastructure development. The stratification of the districts in terms of Urban Prosperity Index (CPI) has shown that region 9 of Karaj City with a final score of 0.510 has a favorable condition, regions 1, 8 and 11 have semi-favorable condition and districts 2, 5, 6 and 7 (four out of eight Karaj metropolitan area) have an unfavorable condition. Also, zone five is in the most unfavorable condition with a final score of 0.235. The conclusion of this research shows that based on the final score (Qi) there is a severe inequality between the eight districts of the Karaj City in terms of urban prosperity Index (CPI). Also, the deprived districts of Karaj are geographically, the unfavorable districts of Karaj are mostly located in the east of this metropolis, and the unfavorable condition in terms of infrastructure development is a common point of these districts. 

Today, urban areas are more than half of the world's population. These areas, before being a place for growth and prosperity, have become the biggest threat to the planet in various ecological, social and economic fields. The rapid growth of urbanization, especially in developing countries, has fueled these threats, which will have destructive effects on citizens. The current urbanization trend shows that by 2050, more than 3 billion people will live in cities, which will increase the population distribution ratio by two-thirds. It is expected that this global trend of urbanization, on the one hand, will cause economic growth and development, and on the other hand, it will cause emerging challenges such as social anomalies, reduction of social identity, the spread of environmental problems, and socio-economic inequalities. The lack of proper infrastructure and the overall decrease in the quality of life in cities.The concept of prosperity was proposed by describing success, health, progress and living well. The dimensions of urban prosperity include infrastructure development, productivity, justice and social participation, governance and urban legislation, quality of life and livability. In fact, in order to become sustainable, the cities of developing countries should pay attention to the participation of different social groups, especially the poor and the preservation of the environment, in addition to improving their overall economic structure. In fact, urban prosperity, along with preserving the environment, economic production and technological development, also pays attention to indicators such as happiness, vitality, and dynamism, and it can be said that it seeks higher goals than sustainable development. This new attitude has two important functions for cities; first, it acts as a structure for measuring global competitiveness, where cities can evaluate their condition and compare their performance with other cities in the world, and secondly, it can identify problems.

The research method is descriptive-analytical, and its purpose is applied. The librarian and documentary methods were also used for data collection; articles and similar internal and external patterns and other scientific sources have also been used. The required data were collected from the official statistics of the Iranian Statistics Center and the detailed plan of Karaj. And then Shannon's entropy methods (to calculate the weight of the criteria) and the multi-criteria decision-making technique (WASPAS) are used to analyze data and information.

One of the most important tasks of urban and regional planners is to evaluate and identify the development of geographical areas to provide balanced development and development of urban areas and neighborhoods. The classification of the districts can reveal their spatial, social, cultural, and economic differences, so leveling requires careful study and study. The advantage of this is that there is a competitive atmosphere between different cities and districts in a city, which in turn provides more motivation for urban development, as well as city officials being aware of the awareness of urban development. The current performance of the city in each of the aspects of this index can make better decisions. In this study, with an analytical -descriptive approach, the measurement and comparison of Karaj city were based on the urban prosperity Index. The results of the WASPAS model and the score of the districts of Karaj city (based on the criteria of urban prosperity) show that the nine districts (0.510) are in a favorable condition in terms of urban prosperity. Also, districts one (0.346), eight (0.397) and eleven (0.328) are in a semi-favorable condition and in terms of prosperity (relatively prosperous). Districts two (0.252), six (0.253) and seven (0.248) are in an unfavorable condition in terms of prosperity, and finally, region five (0.235) is in the most unfavorable condition in terms of urban prosperity, and also, this region is at the first level of priority for development planning. Also, districts one (0.346), eight (0.397) and eleven (0.328) are in a semi-favorable condition and in terms of prosperity (relatively prosperous). Districts two (0.252), six (0.253) and seven (0.248) are in an unfavorable condition in terms of prosperity, and finally, region five (0.235) is in the most unfavorable condition in terms of urban prosperity, and also, this region is at the first level of priority for development planning.

In fact, the more than double difference between the final score (Qi) of the ninth region as the most privileged region with a score of (0.510) and the fifth region as the most deprived region (0.235) in terms of urban prosperity Index, indicates imbalance and inequality. It is deep between the districts of Karaj metropolis. Also, the deprived districts of Karaj are Geographically, the unfavorable districts of Karaj are mostly located in the east of this metropolis, and the unfavorable condition in terms of infrastructure development is the common point of these district.

Security is one of the most important basic human needs, and in current cities, due to the increase in population and the complexity of urban issues, the way to achieve sustainable security is facing a challenge. In order to solve complex urban problems, the smartness of the urban space, which is based on information and communication technology, is a suitable strategy. In this regard, the purpose of this research was the need to pay attention to the smart city as a strategy to improve the sense of security in the public spaces of Karaj city. The current research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature. Data collection was done through a researcher-made questionnaire (375 people) at the level of Karaj city. For the analysis, one-by-one statistical analysis and regression have been used. The results of the research show that the average dimensions of physical-spatial (2.97), behavioral and social dimensions (2.77) are lower than 3 and they do not have favorable conditions. The average of the monitoring components (3.5) and access (3.63) is higher and they are in favorable conditions. The regression analysis shows that the components of intelligence have an impact on the components of security, so that the dimensions of smart life with a beta of 0.423 and smart citizenship with a beta of 0.332 have had the greatest impact in increasing security in the public spaces of Karaj according to the respondents.

Vitality is the meaning and concept of the level of comfort and convenience in a place and the enjoyment of being in that place, vitality is the quality of the form of urban space and it causes the improvement of the quality of the environment of public urban spaces. Vitality contributes to the physical, mental, social and personal development of residents. The elements of vitality are places and people, the territory and scope of vitality is the use of places, spaces and objects of the environment. People are the core of life. The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze factors and elements affecting urban vitality in Karaj city. The type of research in terms of its purpose is the type of applied research with a descriptive-analytical nature. The data of the research includes the census data of the statistics centre and the field questionnaire that was investigated in the 10 districts of the Karaj metropolis. To analyze the information, specialized software and multi-criteria decision-making models have been used. The findings indicate that among the regions, region 7 has the first rank of urban vitality with 75% having good condition. The results of subjective indicators showed that Neighbourhood 10 of Region 7 and Neighbourhood 5 of Region 9 have a high level of urban vitality, neighbourhood 2 of Region 4 and Neighbourhood 1 of Region 6 have a medium level and Neighbourhood 5 of Region 10 has a low level of urban vitality.

Increase in urban population has led to the uncontrolled and unplanned expansion of cities, which has led to an increase in energy consumption, including electricity. The aim of this study is to analyze the impacts of Karaj’s form on electricity consumption and the length of power network lines as carriers. The required data of this applied and descriptive-analytical study was collected through the library resources and going to organizations. The statistical population is 173 neighborhoods of Karaj city. The geographic weight regression (GWR) tool was used to determine the spatial variation between the independent and dependent variables. The results showed that the form of Karaj city highly compacts the neighborhoods of Regions 5, 1, 7, and 2, but the neighborhoods of Regions 3 and 4 have a spiral state due to the villas and the high infrastructure of the villa gardens in part of the city. Based on the results obtained from local weight regression, the population density index as one of the important indicators of city form has the highest impact on electricity consumption in Karaj (R2 equals 78). That is, the city form index, according to this index at the 95% confidence level, justifies 78% of electricity consumption. Moreover, the entropy index as one of the indicators of the independent variable (city form) with (R2=0.66) has the highest impact on the length of Karaj electricity network lines. Therefore, the results showed that the form of the city of Karaj has a spatial relationship of more than 0.50% on the electricity consumption and the length of the lines of the power grid of the city.

The city is a vibrant and dynamic creature whose body is shaped at different times by natural and social economic, political, cultural and economic developments. In a sound and healthy fashion, these developments are such that the old elements of the cities are restored to meet the new needs. In the structure and even in the destruction of these tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of creating new functions in ancient urban context. The present study is of applied purpose and of descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population of the study was comprised of experts in the field of research and the sample size was 30 persons. The results of the implementation of the Suara model showed that among the indicators identified for the social dimension, the role of owner-investor participation index with a final score of 0.224 was ranked first, for the economic dimension, the index of participation in purchase and construction and Builder in the range with a final score of 0.306 in the first rank, for the physical dimension Paying attention to meet the current needs for physical and functional change with a score of 0.416 in the first rank, and for the environmental dimension Indicator Role of New Construction in the Area Infrastructure With a score of 0.610, it is the highest.

the aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of city form on fuel consumption in Karaj metropolis. The data and information required for the research have been collected in two ways: library (study of documents, plans, articles, etc.) and referring to related organizations (municipality, National Petroleum Products Distribution Company, etc.). In order to analyze the data, G statistical test and the Moran model were used to determine the pattern of gasoline consumption in Karaj, and geographic weight regression (GWR) was used to determine the spatial variation between city form variables (mixing, accessibility) and gasoline consumption. The results showed that central neighborhoods of areas 5,1,7,8,9 such as; Dehghan Villas 1 and2, Hyderabad, western Golshahr 1 and 2, Movahedan town, eastern Golshahr, Mehrvila and Karmandan dormitory have the highest accessibility index, and Mehrshahr suburbs, districts 10 and 6 have the lowest accessibility index to services, administrative, commercial, educational. Also, according to the value; 462 / 10Z-Scorse = and the value of P-Value = 0, it was determined that the pattern of gasoline consumption in Karaj is clustered. Also, the value of R2 of the accessibility variable is equal to 0.88. That is, the city form index according to this variable at the 95% confidence level justifies 88% of gasoline consumption. The value of R2 of the user mixing variable is equal to 0.87. That is, according to this variable at the 95% confidence level the city form index justifies 87% of gasoline consumption.

The model of urban governance as an alternative to the traditional model of urban governance emphasizes the transition from formal structures as the center of decision-making to the role of civil society in the exercise of democratic rights and the performance of duties. This research is a descriptive-analytical study that aims to investigate and evaluate the status of urban management in Iran based on good governance indicators in Karaj. Data collection was done through field and library studies. The statistical population includes a group of urban planning experts who were selected by snowball sampling 30 people. Factor analysis, T-test, and ANP integrated analysis model were used for data analysis using SPSS and ANP software. The findings of the study showed that the good governance of the city with a coefficient of T 1.344 is moderate based on the needs and desires of the citizens. Also, the security index (with a coefficient of T = 7.938) and the rule of law (with a coefficient of T = 7.490) scored the highest. In this regard, the indicators of adherence of city management to the customs and traditions of the city with a coefficient of importance of 0.956; Gender justice in the city with a coefficient of importance of 0.962; And the ability to strengthen indigenous and local mechanisms with a coefficient of importance of 0.968 have been more effective in good urban governance than other indicators. According to the ANP model, transparency indicators (C); efficiency and effectiveness (E); responsibility and accountability (F); Consequently, it is necessary to achieve good urban governance, strengthen grassroots organizations, strengthen competitive environment, transparency, strengthen executive and planning mechanisms, and eliminate bureaucracy.

Planning is one of the important strategies of planners and urban planners for the development of the form and shape of the city in the future which both meet the needs of the city and citizens in the best way and preserves the urban environment. The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial development of the urban form of Karaj with a futures studies approach. The required data is collected through the library method (articles, meta-documents, urban plans, etc.) and using the opinion of experts (to identify key drivers, to compile and score hypotheses and to present scenarios). The statistical sample consists of 40 experts and researchers in the relevant field selected by snowball sampling. The comments and suggestions from this group have been collected using the Delphi method. To determine the factors affecting the spatial growth and development of Karaj in the period 1365-1395 (1986-2016), the Holdern model has been used. Shannon entropy has also been used to determine the density or dispersion of Karaj city areas. Morphol software has been used to compile the scenarios. The results obtained show that 95% of the growth and development of Karaj city during these 30 years has been due to population factors. Also, regions 1, 8, 5, and 9 have a compact form and the entropy number is close to the minimum while regions 10, 6, and 3 have an almost more scattered form. Among the 12 scenarios presented, 5 scenarios are in the intermediate state, 4 scenarios are catastrophic, and 3 are favorable scenarios.

The world is currently experiencing two major demographic processes: one, "population aging" and the other, "increasing urbanization." These two processes are among the major concerns of urban planning and management. One of the patterns of urban development that emphasizes the relationship between urban spaces and the phenomenon of aging is the "Age-Friendly City". The goal of the Age-Friendly City is to build a city that meets the needs of the elderly. The premise of the research rests on the idea that aging is as "Embodied" as "Emplaced"as well. Likewise, aging is not just confined to specific urban spaces, but every aspect of ageing life relates to different urban spaces. Evaluation and analysis of Age-Friendly City experience is based on a number of indicators and criteria. This article analyzes the experience of the Age-Friendly City in Karaj based on the criteria and criteria required through quantitative and qualitative methods. The results of this study show that the Age-Friendly City experience in the Karaj sample is generally lower than the required standards. Hence, it needs to be upgraded, refined, revitalized and in some cases created.

A creative city is one that utilizes from creative works, scientific and technological innovations and impact of growing culture and is able to use creativity and imagination in the public and private sector. Such a city is possible ideas and potential solutions to solve all the problems in today's complex cities. Since, cities are a place for flourishing of creativity, the creativity in cities usually refers to ideas related to culture, art, knowledge and learning.

Present study is an applied research and the used method was descriptive-analytical method. Data were gathered by citations from books, documents, articles and using statistical data, censuses of population and housing, municipal reports and other related organizations. The under study statistical population included 11 districts of Karaj city. Measurements and data analysis were carried out using Excel Software, Urban Planning Model and TOPSIS Software and valuation was done using ANP model. In continue, the results obtained from these soft wares and process implementing were entered into the geographical information system (GIS) to complete the process of analysis and investigating the distribution and frequency of indexes on the statistical population.

To assess a municipal property must always take into account a number of specific criteria and how close to the ideals and standards must be measured using related indexes. Hence, there are a number of indexes, by which development of creativity and city's creativity can be measured. Activity priorities of creative cities endorsed by UNESCO in 2004 and used to measure include: Literature, cinema, skills and ritual art, design, media arts and nutrition each of them with different components which the main and adapted of their components have been selected to measure Karaj City in the term of creative city. In this study, the indicators have been selected in the form of 26 components and at the level of Karaj's districts include literature and culture, scale, nutrition, higher education institutions, communal spaces, symbols, urban identity, art and so on. In present study, the indicator of the creative city have been analyzed through investigating the under study area as well as Richard Florida's viewpoint and adopting it with under study area. Among the effects that creativity can has on organization and urban management activities, one can refer to Increased production, increased service delivery, enhancing the quality and diversity of services, lower costs, reduce waste of resources, increase the level of mental health, reduce bureaucracy, increase activism among managers and so on.

The findings showed that the city's regions are moving towards creativity and prosperity and descript 5 is placed on the first rank with the value of 0.56 and descript 11 with the value of 0.11 is placed on the last rank. In terms of having creativity indicators, descript 5 is a richest region and descript 11 is a deprived region. The difference between the highest TOPSIS rank(descript 5) and the lowest TOPSIS rank (descript 11) is equal to 0.45 which indicates a significant difference in acceleration of progress of the regions toward creativity.

The qualitative study of the urbanization process indicates that inappropriate development has caused a great deal of damage to the urban landscape structure. The problem solving tool is planning the ecological networks as matter and energy pathways. Planning natural elements of the structure, including green and open spots and corridors, will guide the researcher toward achieving research goals such as the conservation and restoration of natural resources and the improvement of cybernetic forces to enhance performance sustainability, structural equilibrium, and habitat variability. The methodological model of research in the Karaj metropolis identified flexible elements to strengthen ecological processes. Then, adopting the ecological-sociological approach and forming the urban habitat network, it was applied for sustainability. GIS software was used to map and digitize the data, RS to capture satellite images, and FRAGSTATE 4.2 to analyze the metrics changes in the years 2008 and 2018. The results of Bayer spot changes were -7.98% for CA, +5.79% for NP, and -1.5% for Cohesion, while residential spot changes were -24.15% for CA, +26.16% for NP, -3.96% for Cohesion, and green-space spot changes were -38.8%  for CA, +275.5% for NP increase, and -34.0% for Cohesion. These indicated increased discontinuity, decreased natural bedding connectivity, and decreased ecological performance along with its adverse effect on social structure. Thus, using a nature-based planning, we can witness the network dynamics of natural/man-made communication/isolation networks over time, and by establishing a holistic, bio-ethical culture, we can overcome social vacuum. This way, Karaj can move in the excellent sustainable development path.

One of the necessities to stop the unrestricted and unruly growth of urban blocks in inappropriate directions is designing suitable environments in order to produce urban green network areas to develop the quality level of city life. The city of Karaj has faced an increasing number of citizens due to the immigrations and geographical alterations. This increasing population will result unbalanced expansion and inappropriate city development. The effort in this article has been to identify different zones of Karaj district and giving out a suitable urban green network area by studying all the plans of the current situation of the district, analysis of the data and considering the effective characteristics of the area to reach an ecological balance and a systematic urban green area. This was done by using Gis software.

IntroductionRapid urban growth and huge migrations into metropolitan areas including Karaj City make the need for housing more and more complicated. The housing is a durable, multidimensional, non - homogenous, immoveable, very expensive good, and the main factor signifying the sociability of people within the universe which is accompanied with symbolic values as the sign of status and lifestyle of people. Based on this, the current paper has aimed to evaluate the state of the houses of people of different income classes, to suggest plans for preparing people of low income with appropriate housing at different city spots of the province of Karaj city, and to reveal more about the poor quality of the construction of houses, inappropriate urban planning pattern, and improper materials used for building urban houses, in order to attract the attention of the authorities and managers. Housing is one of the elements of the permanent development. Unlike everyday used goods, housing would become a kind of investment since it gets value continually. Other than its economic value, it increases in value and demand due to its social, cultural, physical, psychological, and health aspects. Most of the immigrants are from low income and vulnerable classes. Thus, there are many low income and poor families in Karaj City. They are sometimes urgently in need for a house for living. The policy of inexpensive houses is not greatly used in Iran metropolitan areas; although after the Islamic Revolution many attempts have been made to provide the public with social houses. The main issue in this research is to investigate the existing state of the housing indices and the ways to supply the housing for low income residents. . All the above mentioned reasons have caused housing a serious question so that homelessness, and home-badness is slipping towards higher Deciles.
MethodologyThis is a fundamental-developmental research by a descriptive-analytical method. The study area of this research is Karaj City as center of Alborz Province in the vicinity of Tehran, as capital of Iran. The variables included in the research are deciles, foundation surface, family dimension, percentage of ownership, percentage of tenants and occupants, cost of house, and bank accommodations. The data have been obtained from Iran Statistical Center. The methods used include statistics techniques of population tenths. In order to estimate financial states of the groups, the indirect function method is being used. Also, in order to define the opportunities, threats, power points and weak points of the low - income groups.
Quantitative analyses are performed through indirect method functions and Stone-Garry Function. At last, to estimate and calculate the absolute line of poverty EVIEWS software, and for the relative line of poverty SPSS and Excel software were used.
Results and discussionInvestigation about the index of the area owned by urban families in the province demonstrates that in the studied period, we have witnessed a drastic decrease. The number of housing units in the Karaj City in 2012 was up to 485565 units. The ownership was also 42.1 % and the percentage of occupants was 42 % in the city. Half the foundation of the buildings was less than 100 square meters. The cost of housing of a family out of the total basket cost in Karaj was 29.3 % and the cost of the low incomes families was 26 %. With a population growth prediction and family dimension of 3.3 people in each family, in the horizons of 2016, 2021, and 2026 we would require 65647, 47878, and 33637 new houses, respectively, for the low income families. The land area for each building is considered as 75 square meters and in 4 floors of 115 square meters.
ConclusionThe pattern of supplying houses for low - income families would be achieved by getting difference of expenses by government payments, the aids from government housing subsides, or by the credits from central bank. The municipality can give the required urban lands to the builders of the residential units. The cash from the people demanded for the houses, bank credits, and philanthropic aids without lands and the aids with the lands can be useful to achieve the goal. The lower tenths of the residents of urban areas in Karaj city are of the highest rate of tenancy the value of which reduces as we move towards higher tenths. Hence, regarding the volume of housing needs, the first tenths of the society are of higher needs for the tenancy percentage in the city.
To investigate financial capability of different Deciles regarding house provision, indirect function has been applied. It suggests a large amount of difference among different income Deciles according to the function results so that the first six Deciles, literally, cannot afford house provision. The results of the study suggest that there are numerous principal problems in the realms of housing economy and market. Furthermore, one can witness the impacts of several factors in housing sector such as major economic condition, inflation rate, the growth in the price of land, the growth in the price of construction material, growth in the gap between effective demand and potential demand, the low amount of government bestowed facilities for either purchasing or building house, and applying rigid rules and regulations regarding house construction. All the above-mentioned factors have caused a harsh situation for low-income groups of people to obtain appropriate house. In addition, as time passes, it has been becoming worse. A Based on what has been discussed, applying some proper strategies, policies, and decisions seems necessary in order to provide the required (economical, legal, cultural, and urban civilization) factors for low - income groups.

Chosen people, conducive to the promotion of education in society, depends on the establishment of training centers for top talent that can lead to people who are responsible for important tasks in the near future. The city of Karaj in terms of high-density population in recent years and also enjoy variety in different socio-economic levels, more necessary than in other cities in Iran for the construction of training centers is superior talents. The study of network analysis to rank the criteria involved in the selection process model is used. The effective criteria in the selection process and in determining geographic data in ArcGIS software have been prepared. The weighted network analysis process and data layers in the layers overlap geographically weighted relative profound obtained was performed. Finally, the proposed locations based on the importance of training centers, were ranked. The results showed that in order of priority population centers Rajaee Shahr, Azimiyeh, Shahin Villa in the first and third top talent to build training centers are located.

Spatial development - physical, uncontrolled urban growth and urbanization resulting in Karaj during 1335 to 1390 the population of 14,526 people in 1335 and about 2km square area of about 180km ² and a population of about 1,614,626 people become.The spatial development accelerated due Branch ecological resources, including agricultural land and industrial mineral soils, surface and underground water resources is heavily exploited. Rapid displacement of population, expansion of urban Aspral change uncontrolled agricultural lands and natural resources, uneven development, application, and subsequent social and economic anomalies, including issues arising from the development of urban space - the physical city is Karaj. The purpose of this study is to explain the process of spatial analysis of these issues. This research method is descriptive - analytical models using Shannon's entropy and Holdern and smart growth urban metropolis, Karaj during 1335 to 1390 has been analyzed. The results indicate that Shhrkrj from 1335 to 1390 the growth has been unevenly distributed in a separate core. Karaj growth pattern from 1375 onwards, growth has been rapid and Aspral. In 1385 the highest growth rate Aspral 24 percent. The density of people per hectare since 1375 to 1385, that figure dropped to 09/94 persons per hectare in 1375 to 52/76 persons per hectare represents an extension of the city limits. These statistics reflect the destruction of much of the best agricultural land in the surrounding.metropolitan.Tehran.

Transportation is the major pivot upon which the city systems subsist، therefore the level of interconnectivity of different segments of the city is a measure of performance of different components of the city and the efficiency of the entire city systems. Therefore، permeability or accessibility in an urban system can be estimated at the neighborhood or from the perspective of the entire city systems to evaluate the efficiency of the cities or neighborhoods. Regarding to topic of research، area of study and complicated existence of city as a spatial and social system، use of different methods and techniques with title of Compound Method is essential. In this study، indicators were extracted by Delphi technique and the studying of records. After weighting of parameters by FUSSY-AHP، the selected indicators were converted to distances maps in GIS-SPATIAL ANALYSIS EXTENTION software. Finally the final map of permeability area in Karaj mega city Were prepared. The findings of this research show that the accessibility to the communication network has highest points in the city associated hazards and after that the per capita net impact factor got the highest weight value. For there more our finding show the model urban connectivity of Karaj has significant relations with the physical growth pattern. Also the map analysis shown the most connectivity and unconnectivity regions by the measured coefficients of eight selected indicators.

Today, considering the increasing trend of urbanization and progressive growth of the city and citizens’ hazards regarding the environmental and technological risks and social challenges, the necessity of regarding safety issues as one of the important and determinant factors of a sustainable city is sensed more than before.Karaj, the young metropolis that less than 50 years is passed from its new life, is of the cities that with respect to its rapid changes and evolution from scattered rural settlements with 14’226 population in 1335 to the current metropolis with population of 1’386’030, has made inevitable the safety management of hazardous phenomenon.To obtain the perspective of Karaj safety plan and decreasing the undesirable effects of crisis and events, recognizing and evaluation of physical safety of the city and spatial modeling of these components in 34 regions are the aims of this research. Establishment of descriptive data bank, Combining it with spatial data and finally its spatial modeling in the form of GIS Cellular Network and AHP are the considered methodology in this study.The research findings showed that among the tenth physical safety indicators, impermeability with weighting value of 0.79 out of 1 has the highest rank, district No.1 with physical safety coefficient of 0.50 of 1 is the most unsafe district and district No.20 with safety coefficient of 0.73 has been recognized as the safest region.

In contemporary capitalism، city is considered as an appropriate location and urbanization as a favourable way of life. The penetration and influence of capitalism as a culture in the Third World، including Iran has caused heterogeneous urban concentration and rapid urban population growth and thereby، massive rural-urban migrations. In fact، a process that causes the immifration of mainly poor population to the cities. Clear example of such confrontation can be seen in the old textures and also in rural areas and towns like Karaj City. Karaj due to the its specific location of communication facilties route، and being located at highway linking to the west of the country as well as vicinity to Tehran and having environmental potentials besides factories and industrial areas in one hand، and rapid urbanization processes in the country، changing consumption patterns and the development of exogenous communities of the country، alongside massive influx of refugees from surrounding towns and villages on the other hand، has been the tangible outcome of this influx of urban crises being created due to numerous problems including the formation and development of marginalized communities، poor، high damage and social disorder، loss of quality of life and lack of minimum facilities and services required for biological life in an urban area. Variability and lack of sense of belonging، social capital links to the lack of viable neighborhood، with no coherence of ethnic diversity and social integration، all together have increased poverty and two-level divisions (of poverty and richness) within the Metropolitan of Karaj. In this paper، socio-cultural structure of the city of Karaj has been evaluated using SWOT technique. According to research findings، properly obtained strengths and opportunities in order to overcome weaknesses and threats have not been used. The strengths، weaknesses and threats in opportunities are dominant and a type of strategy، (contingency) diversity strategies، has been indicated. At the end، priorities QSPM matrix based on strategies has been suggested.
