In recent years, tourism has received remarkable attention at the level of neighborhoods and local communities. However, the share of modern neighborhoods using this capacity has not been great due to the traditionally common and often historical attractions. The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of implementing the idea of neighborhood tourism in a contemporary neighborhood, Ekbatan, without having the massive common elements of tourism.

Design/methodology/approach: 

This research is qualitative and data was collected through 19 in-depth interviews with residents, local informants, and field observations. The thematic method was used for data analysis to reach a neighborhood tourism model.

The findings show that Ekbatan Town has the capacity to host educated tourists with special interests in social, architectural, and urban planning, as well as those interested in social narratives and historical stories; therefore, it can be chosen as a modern destination for neighborhood tourism. This is subject to consideration of the role of key actors/agents.

The research results indicate that neighborhood tourism can be implemented if the residents’ views and especially their satisfaction are considered along with the neighborhood’s capacities.

Originality/value: 

This research has provided a model of making a modern tourist-friendly neighborhood, in which any successful neighborhood tourism policy and planning should be done within the framework of the neighborhood-participatory tourism approach as active hosts and with the least intervention of public and governmental institutions.

Nowadays, residential complexes are designed in such a way that the amount of social exchanges in them has decreased. One of the factors that has diminished the role of social interactions in residential complexes is the issue of environmental security. Therefore, in this research, the role of social interactions in creating environmental security in residential complexes has been investigated. The research method in this study is based on the survey-correlation method. The statistical population in this research was sampled from among the residential complexes of Tehran. Ekbatan residential complex was considered as the smaller part of the statistical population and finally, by analyzing the obtained information, the hypothesis related to the project was tested. According to the obtained information, it was found that there is a significant relationship between social interactions and environmental security in the residential complex.

The main goal of this research is to reduce socio-cultural identity vulnerability in Ekbatan, Tehran.As a result of the descriptive-analytical analysis approach used in this reseach, it was realized that Ekbatan suburb or town avoided being similar to the architecture of some periods during its stages, time of construction, and instead tried to use cultural concepts and values than just apparent and formal imitation. However, we have seen a lack of attention to this problem in recent years, since the emergence of entertainment spaces and shoping mall in the heart of the complex, with a modern appearance, has harmed the town’s cultural identity. Now, in order to promote and enhance the socio-cultural identity of Ekbatan town, rules and regulations should be in line with the town’s need, such as raising the number of open spaces ,like parks and playgrounds that are suitable for various age groups, and increasing the length and depth of spaces among residential blocks for acceleration if the main road are closed, moreover an improved layout network based on star and radical patterns to speed up population entry and exit for minimizing the traffic, as well as the placement of outdoor land between frames with convenient accsses for residents should be regulate. As a result, design arrangements in the architecture of Ekbatan town must align with certain requirements in order to preserve stability and exsitence in the sense of the region’s identity and community, as well as the continuation of its activities.

Today Transportation is known as a one of the most important elements of urban development structur. Public Transportation, according to its more extensive functional capacity, can play a role in a wider scale. Transit Oriented Development with a focus on subway is one of the special approaches in this field. Recently, Tehran Public Transport Fleet has been significantly improved especially in the field of subway and BRT. Although Tehran has the potential, not only it could not benefited from the advantages of this development, but also has imposed many social and traffic problems of around of stationary complex. These are because of lack of implementation principle of TOD and the proper functioning of them. Shahrak-E Ekbatan complex is a Newly established which located on Tehran subway line 4. Since construction of the station in the standard form requires certain predetermined principles, Shahrak-E Ekbatan Complex Station with its special location in Public Transportation System is expected that it plays role in implementation these principles to achieve an efficient station complex. TOD is a novelty and different approach of traditional theory, with considering four main principles which is consisted of (1) Intensive development, (2) mixed land uses, (3) pedestrian-oriented, (4) Transportation facilities. TOD tries to solve the problems which are occurred due to inattention to the four foregoing principles. In this study, the functional principles of Transit Oriented Development in the Shahrak-E Ekbatan Complex Station are assessed with use of library and archives of the context the Field oriented descriptive and AHP. Consequently achievement to TOD goals and effective utilization of the complex station are restricted. As a main result the Shahrak-E Ekbatan Complex Station with the implementation rate of three forth of the functional principles is in desirable condition.
