In the last century, rapid advances in information and communication technology, i.e. smart cities, have reduced the quality of life in environmental and socio-economic dimensions, i.e. the livability of cities globally. The corona pandemic or the "Covid-19 phenomenon" shows the vulnerability of cities in their current conditions. From the point of view of the objective, the current research is applied and in terms of research method, it has a descriptive-analytical nature. In this research, it was discussed, four dimensions (biological, social, economic and managerial) and nineteen indicators (natural potentials, the amount of public green space, flexibility, vitality and exhilaration of the urban space, economic productivity, diversity of use and economic activities, infrastructure and information technology, safe and sustainable transportation system, etc.) The viability of smart cities and the prioritization of their role in reducing harmful effects in the post-corona era were discussed using the AHP method. The results of the research show that in order of environmental, managerial, economic and social dimensions were important, and in the environmental dimension, the health index of the individual and the environment with 0.299, in the social dimension, the safety and security index with 0.445, in the economic dimension, the economic productivity index with 0.484, and in the management dimension, the supply index Information technology and infrastructure with 0.286, has the highest score and influence. At the end, the findings were presented in two parts, the amassment of goals and policies for creating a smart livable city in postcoronavirus and effective solutions to control the consequences of post-coronavirus in livable smart cities.

Historic and worn-out structures are more exposed to threats and dangers than other urban structures due to non-observance of engineering systems, inefficient communication network, lack of urban facilities and equipment, and non-observance of passive defense principles. Therefore, indicators with a passive defense approach should be developed to determine the degree of stability of the structure of historical contexts. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effective indicators in the historical structure of contemporary cities with a passive defense approach. The type of research is applied and the research method is descriptive-analytical and information collection has been done through library-field, field and questionnaire studies. 10 criteria and 25 indicators were selected and analyzed using ANP method. The results show that the criteria of proportional distribution of population-absorbing uses, physical strength of texture, privacy of hazardous centers, composition of urban texture and efficiency of road network with scores of 0.109, 0.189, 0.122, 0.12 and 0.106, respectively, in the first zone of influence in historical textures Neighborhood and adaptation indicators, required spaces for relief, access to relief and treatment centers and safe spaces with a score of 0.088, 0.085, 0.078 and 0.065 in the second zone of impact on historical contexts and the compression system index with a score of 0.038 in the zone Third are the effects on historical contexts, and at the end, suggestions were made to improve the security and safety of Khoy's historical context.

Strategic-structural plan of Tehran approved in 2007, which is considered as the last comprehensive plan approved by Tehran, in addition to the traditional issues of comprehensive plans, important issues such as changing the structure and function of the city, reforming the revenue system of Tehran municipality, improving urban infrastructure, improving efficiency The urban transportation system has considered ensuring the city's safety against natural disasters, improving the quality of the urban environment, as well as the use of new methods of land use planning. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the process of developing this plan in order to take into account the principles and indicators of the futuristic approach and to suggest modifying the existing trend based on the futuristic approach. The dominant paradigm of this research is interpretive and qualitative research. Data collection techniques are semi-structured through study, observation and interview and the questionnaire is open and the method of data analysis is Delphi technique and qualitative content analysis in a structured manner. Eleven indicators and principles of futurism approach were extracted using Delphi technique (attention to stakeholders and influencers, attention to uncertainties, uncertainties, shocks and complexities, attention to trends and megatrends, holistic, Inclusion, attention to the results of inferior and superior documents, long-term view, attention to values and worldview, scenario writing and foresight, accurate and measured analysis of the planning environment, vision drawing) and in Tehran design by content analysis method Documents were sorted and categorized and the extent to which these principles were considered in the Tehran plan document was measured again. The results show that the consideration of these principles in the development of urban development programs in both methods is low.

Statement of Problem: To improve the identity of residential architecture, it is required to enhance the semantic dimensions in the design. To do this, the principles of traditional residential architecture in hot-dry climates, as one of the richest physical-spatial models for Iranian houses, must be applied. On the other hand, one of the best strategies for giving meaning to works is to use signs by examining users' mental image. However, nowadays, semantic concepts such as users' perception or mental image are less considered or ignored in the residential architecture due to factors such as economy or superficiality in design. This is due to the ignorance of the user-environment relationship at the educational and executive levels of design. Therefore, there is a need for finding a practical approach to semantics by extracting the signs existing in traditional houses. To meet this need, the present study seeks to answer the question "What is the role of signs in the semantic aspects of traditional Persian houses in hot-dry climate?" Since the use of successful traditional architectural models is another way for enhancing the identity of residential architecture, it seems necessary to find and use them in contemporary housing in accordance with the current situation. The research background mainly focuses on finding physical patterns or semantic principles in Iranian houses from non-semiotic perspectives, so obviously, there is a need for research on the extraction of patterns using semiotics to match the design with the users' reading.

The design performed "only to satisfy the building function", cannot meet such affairs as identity. So, it must meet the perceptual needs to manifest identity in architecture, and this will be possibly achieved if the design is performed through a semantic process. To this end, the present research seeks to find out how the categories of signs match with the components affecting mental image in traditional houses in the hot-dry climate. Since the present study looks for the effect of signs on meaning in traditional housing design, "sign" is an independent variable, and "meaning in housing design" is a dependent variable. Accordingly, the research hypothesis is as follows: "Using the categories of signs has played a role in the meaning of traditional residential architecture in the hot-dry climate". The present study aims to extract the principles of semantics from the semiotic perspective to use in contemporary residential architecture to pay more attention to the identity and semantic dimensions of today's living environments.

the present research is a qualitative study in which applied examples of traditional residential architecture in the hot-dry climate are studied using "document mining" and "qualitative content analysis". In the "data analysis" section, the matching of the components affecting the mental image with the categories of signs is evaluated by examining the examples of traditional Persian houses in the hot-dry climate. Accordingly, the relationships between the categories of signs, including "index", "symbol", and "icon", and the "spatial", "human" and "temporal" components affecting mental image are analyzed. It should be noted that the case studies are selected based on two criteria: 1. having spatial and physical richness, and 2. having a design in which one can observe the matching of the categories of signs with the components affecting perception. The authors attempt to select those cases having the features observed in most of the traditional Persian houses in the hot-arid climate. In the selected samples of traditional Persian houses in the hot-dry climate, any analyzable relationship between the categories of signs and factors affecting mental image is analyzed. It should be noted that it was attempted to select those components common to most traditional houses in the hot-dry climate.

The results indicate that in traditional houses in the hot-dry climate, "icon", "index", and "symbol" have been used as a means to express meanings by being matched with human, environmental and temporal components affecting users' mental image in accordance with their cultural context. Moreover, the results show the matching of the environmental components with the categories of "icon", "index" and "symbol". The temporal components affecting the users' reading show their highest degree of matching with the category of "icon". The "icon" and "symbol" categories also have the highest degree of matching with the human components affecting the users' reading. Therefore, one of the effective strategies for providing a semantic-oriented residential design is to use the components of "function", "body", "scale", "historical background", "individual experience", "social event", "physiological and psychological factors", "individual and social behaviors" of users and also attention to "components affecting the sense of belonging to place and community" in the form of different categories of signs in the design. Therefore, using different categories of signs, which match with the factors affecting the users' mental image, considering the temporal, spatial and human context of the design can be a way to consider meaning and identity in today's housing designs.

Despite the resurgence of the strategic approach in the late 1990s and The importance of its concepts as a procedural theory, the impact of this approach on how the urban design process is conducted has not been clearly explored. The research purpose is to identify the criteria and indicators affecting the survey of the strategic urban design process and prioritize the application of these concepts in Iranian urban design projects. For this purpose, First, using the analytical-descriptive method of flows affecting the strategic approach, the basic concepts of this approach and how it is used in the urban design process in the form of an evaluation framework have been refined. evaluation framework provides the basis for analyzing selected projects and prioritizing concepts in SPSS 26 software using Friedman test by formulating criteria and indicators affecting process. Findings show that the criteria of public participation and power relations are the least important, This has led to a decrease in the score of the mentioned criteria due to the sharing of some indicators with the criteria of contextualism, flexibility, problem-orientation and multi-level intervention. Accordingly, despite the presence of the concept of public participation in these projects, due to the lack of social learning process and lack of attention to power relations, The explanatory indicators of these two concepts face major challenges for application and limit the urban design process to the scientific and technocratic aspects of space only, and the social and democratic aspects of space are considered.

 Iranian’s art has been evaluated from different perspectives during the past two decades, and some critics have presented its mainstreams as the reproduction of Orientalism discourses. This study attempts to investigate the specifications of finding common features between the characteristics presented for the production of such works of art and Orientalism functioning. To this end, the concept of index has been applied referring to the debates on the semiotics and art history for the critical reading of the reproduction of Orientalism discourse.Research

This research aimed at critical studying and at the same time extending the theoretical challenges of contemporary Iranian art focusing on the concept of the index. The main question of the current study was “what components shape the features of contemporary Iranian art and how indexing in the contemporary Iranian art corresponds with Orientalism discourse?”.Research

This research was descriptive-analytic and qualitative data analysis has been performed. The samples have been selected through purposive sampling method.

The extreme application of some of the elements and traditional motifs in Iranian art has an indexical functioning that creates the capacity for spatial isolation and situationality of works of art. Both spatial isolation and situationality are corresponded with Orientalism discourse.

Following the growing urbanization, providing housing has become one of the most important issues for both people and planners. Among housing policies, due to the dominance of economy factors, as well as lack of proper housing indexes, quantitative indexes of housing have overcome qualitive indexes. So, planners have focused on providing housing. Although housing is one of the needs of human beings, each type of housing is not considered. In fact, desirable housing is the ideal need of human beings. Thus, the aim of this article is the explanation of housing qualitive indexes in according to comments of experts and analyzing experiences of housing. The finding suggest that for explanation desirable housing both characteristics of building of housing and the neighborhood which the house is located must be considered. In addition, housing qualitive indexes includes multidimensional characteristics.

Automobile dependency in cities with many cars leads to create urban environments that not only promotes and encourages dependency on the car but it makes culture of automobile dependency, So that in practice without access to automobile, access to services is not possible or very difficult. On contrary, making pedestrian ways is the most powerful and influential design movement for neighborhoods, it also brings reducing the harmful consequences of automobile dependency, increasing the safety of pedestrians and improving the urban environment. Methodology of this study was descriptive and analytical based on Frank indexes of the walkability, Shannon’s entropy factor; scale removal in fuzzy logic was used to generalize the walkability on the surface areas of 25 districts of the city of Amol by using of GIS software and by using of SPSS software to analyze the correlation. There is the relationship between physical activity of people and the city environment in which they live, The Walkability index can be useful is in the stage of urban planning. High value of Walkability index means that a particular arrangement of the city supports physical activity of people the low value of Walkability index means that people very often used cars in the everyday life which results into minimum physical activity. The results show that various environmental factors effect walkability noticeably , the greater the amount of compression and mixing urban the walking ability increases, Amol and central regions have the highest levels of walking ability this will increases activity of walking and car-free activities.

In this research, after reviewing the history of semiotics and presenting the semiotic definitions, the author analyzes the opinions and opinions of the thinkers of this field and then examines the place of semiotics in the theater. In this context, he examines visual systems and dramatic codes and The semiotics of the dramatic elements and the making of these elements in theater are paid. In the following, based on the information and content presented in terms of semiotics and the study of visual symbols, a look at Albercamo's play (Caligula) and the analysis of the scenes of this work, as well as its semiotic analysis. Data collection in this research was done by descriptive - analytic method using documentary libraries and analyzing the sample size of Kaligula plays. The results of this research show that scientific and practical approaches from the perspective
of semiotics can be useful for better understanding of directors or art exhibitors, as well as the acquisition of visual symbols and the language of the latent codes in the underlying layers of the text. How can To be effective. In addition, the findings of the research indicate that attention to semiotic components and the discovery of the language of the encoded code in a play helps the director to come up with a new approach and narrative of this play.

The objective of architectural design, beyond responding to functions, is the expression of deep and thought provoking concepts in life and meeting perceptual need of man. In the process of architectural design, architects confront the scourge of transforming a concept to an architectural body. It is assumed that “concepts”, “values”, “beliefs” convert
into matter by passing through several layers and means of functional linguistic or physical means, so it will obtain the affordance of converting into a physical body, and it is the same in architecture. Final architectural body includes different form and shape according to the architect’s decision making, his/her knowledge of sign-making and ability
to apply them in his design. The purpose of this study is to explain the concept of the sign and its relationship with semantics in architecture domain and limiting the coverage and manifestation scope of signs in architectural design issues. The key question is “how the architectural implication of signs can be classified in the field of architecture and how can the boundaries between different kinds of signs in architecture be recognized and distinguished”. The content of this study is qualitative while literature review and theoretical studies on this topic were gathered through the library method. Then the data was processed and evaluated and the lack of transparency and borders in sign classifications
in the field of architecture was clearly explained. This understanding led to defining a new relationship between different levels in architectural symbols. Regarding to that , we referred to different ways of architectural signifying. As this concept is rooted in semiotic science, reviewing some points to obtain an overall understanding of semiotics was useful
for rooting exploration of architectural implications. In the following, sample works of architectural signifying were studied. The results of these studies are presented in extracted tables. Through these tables and the result of performed studies, some results are obtained as theoretical achievements of this research in the beginning and are summarized in deductive tables at the end. Many studies in the field of semiotics, in abundance, consider sign symbol in the same way. Moreover, in many cases, the lack of clear separation and distinction between index and symbols in the field of architecture causes many contradictions in architecture examples from the perspective of semiotics. In fact the boundaries between types of signs as well as clear and precise definition of the symbol are not provided. On the other hand, some theorists expressed the metaphors as signs in architecture but the exact location of metaphor in the context of architectural semiotics has not been expressed. All these studies led to offering a new classification of signs in architecture and the delimitation and clarification of manifestation and the inclusion domain of semiotics in architecture through an inductive table. So that, signs in architecture were classified in a range of foursome in the order of icon, Index- icon, Index and symbols. The exact boundary that makes it easy to differentiate symbol from other signs was defined. On the other hand, the relationship between signifier and signified in each of these four categories and their subcategories are mentioned and concrete examples are presented for the better understanding of these divisions. The other outcome of this article is defining and clarifying the position of metaphor in architecture in the same classification. When architecture is supposed to meet the performance and perception at the same time, it is manifested in one of three forms which are: 1. Iconic signs (Tangible metaphor), 2. Index-icon (Intangible metaphor) and, 3. Index (combinatorial metaphor). In addition, the hierarchy of sign importance in architecture is showed in this table according to the discoverability of meaning in architecture through different choices of signs. Furthermore, the meaning of symbolic architecture and symbol, as of one of the signs’ divisions in the field of architecture, was elaborated. Generally, Symbolic Architecture is referred to as Intangible Metaphoric Architecture by mistake. Symbolic Architecture is clarified in this article as a quite distinct architecture that is only responsive to the perceptual needs which is divided into two types of Mediated and non-mediated in its semantic aspect. Theoretical outcome of this article is useful for more accurate understanding of symbols in architecture. For instance, it can be used as criteria to identify and classify examples of architecture and as a guide in design stage to choose the appropriate strategy by the architect, as well.

Today knowledge of urban spaces and suitable urban design of them is a way to meet the diverse needs of citizens. In the meantime, consideration of the principle of flexibility as one of the factors creating quality urban space enables space to provide the numerous options to citizens. However, in this study, which has an exploratory nature, attempted to explain the concept of flexibility and ways of its realization in the urban space, and also a model is presented in order to achieve flexibility in the urban space. The attainment of this space, with the flexibility indices first need preconditions, which include permeability, diversity, and readability. For this purpose, first qualitative data was collected using library studies and a review of the literature, the most important elements involved in the flexible design of urban space were identified; then by Delphi method, and by means of a questionnaire, and based on the snowball method, components were measured. The results indicate the more effective roles of 17 indices in the formation of flexible urban space. According to the ranking table, indices of compatibility of performances, flexibility, and more choice and greater attention to human relationships and access were more important.

According to some scholars, Islamic architecture is influenced by Islamic values. It has religious contents and represents religious beliefs and values. But as regards the most Islamic values are in the form of abstract concepts, they have different meanings for different people and everyone has its own definition and displays it in buildings. This lack of consensus on Islamic concepts points to the need to develop some indexes which can identify the framework of activities based on them. But what is the index and indexing? How can it be achived and how to achive the process of it. For this purpose, this study examined the documents, to identify indexing method which has been used mainly in survey research. Indices, are thoes indicatores that determine the process of collecting, classifying, analysing data, logical conclusion, and generally the activity’s orientation and provides appropriate framework for targeting, developing, planning and assessment of activities. It should be noted, that the index and index constructing is in order to simplify the complexities temporarily and quantify the qualitis and minify the generalities and its purpose is not only on quantities or replacing quality variables with numbers and quantities but looking for ways to make a quantitative assesment of the intermediaries by taking multiple steps. In results, the Index making process in architecture is discussed and the appropriate statistical techniques to prioritize indicators of index has been presented: the Delphi method and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process.

Most of the researches in Islamic architecture are theoretical and are in general. But Islamic architecture is formed by Islamic concepts and values and they are almost abstract. It means¡ only an image of them is formed in mind and affirming them with the other person is difficult. Therefore many of those concepts are interpreted by different understanding and are used and evaluated in architecture. But they would be Non-quantifiable and unusable if concepts have inconstant meaning. This issue leads to inefficiency of Islamic architecture models and popular dissatisfaction. We should have an understanding of the current situation of Islamic architecture to move towards it¡ and we should evaluate¡ predict and plan for it¡ that they are not possible without having an index. So indexing that transforms abstract concepts into concrete concepts- appears to be essential in Islamic architecture. Indexing has begun from surveys research and has a relatively long history in architecture and urbanism. Of course researches have been limitedly done in Islamic architecture and urban planning for Indexing. This paper is briefly introducing indexing and the pathology of Islamic concepts indexing in Islamic architecture in descriptive and analytical methods. The results show that many deficiencies are because of lack of knowledge about the properties of index such as non-usefulness¡ Incomprehensiveness and Lack of validity and reliability of indexes and not following the complete process of indexing like weighing them.

Sustainable development has been defined in many ways¡ but the most frequently quoted definition is from “Our Common Future”¡ also known as the Brundtland Report: “Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations¡ to meet their own needs. It contains two key concepts: • The concept of needs: in particular the essential needs of the world’s needy¡ to which overriding priority should be given; and • The idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment’s ability to meet present and future needs”. Sustainable development constantly seeks to achieve social and economic progress in ways that will not exhaust the earths finite natural resources. The needs of the todays world are real and immediate¡ although it’s necessary to meet these needs in ways which do not disregard the future. The capacity of our ecosystem is not limitless which means that future generations may not be able to meet their needs the same as us. Establishing the principles of sustainable development seems necessary in every society. One of these important principles is social aspects. When it comes to city and urban planning¡ establishing social principles of sustainable development becomes more significant. Utilizing principles of sustainable development¡ in every kinds of planning¡ requires indexes which are localized and appropriate for target especial society. These indexes are extracted from theoretical principles¡ scientific documents and also background of the issue in Iran and the world which are combined with local samples and also their weak and strong points. Absence of positive interactions in cities¡ struggle between citizens¡ and unwillingness to participation are some of the reasons that influence negatively on sustainability in cities. Sustainable social development has been studied in different researches and also several domestic and international articles. Despite of it¡ there are some points which differentiate this article from other similar works. Since social sustainability is a new concept and in Iran and there are not enough background and rich experience about it¡ therefore¡ the present article theoretically have presented this issue and in general¡ have tried to explain it¡ rather than expanding and developing its dimensions and indexes. The goal of this article is explaining indexes of social sustainability and assessing it through studied samples. Due to the focus on social aspect of sustainable development¡ urban streets were chosen as study samples. These samples are Motahari Street and Bahman 22nd Street¡ both situated in central zone on Rasht¡ Iran. Both of these two streets are parts of main routes of the city and according to the fieled studies and reports in comprehensive plan of Rasht¡ they are among the second type of arterial streets. The main reason for selecting these two streets as study sample is their multi-functionality and also being all-inclusive. In addition¡ their physical¡ economic and social features are similar which make them comparable. In the process of assessing social sustainability among samples of this study¡ questionnaires designed by Likert Scale and also multi-functional regression were used to determine the selected indexes. In addition¡ Goeller matrix was applies to compare scores for social sustainability in these two samples with every social sustainability indexes. Results gathered by multi-functional regression analysis show that three indexes including Reducing poverty and social gap¡ preventing from different pollutions and climate-specific design in each area are not related to dependent variable regarding to the significant level¡ since it must be less than 0.05 to prove the relation. Meanwhile¡ Person coefficient shows the amount of dependency of each dependent variable to other variables. It indicates that promoting the health and hygienic condition of citizens is the most effective factor while paying attention to children and their activities is the least effective factor in establishing social sustainability in the society. Resulted figures show that Bahman 22nd Street has preceded the other street based on the social indexes of sustainable development. However¡ in other indexes¡ Motahari Street was superior. This result can be traced to different issues including differences between them in attracting population. Motahari Street¡ with its mixture of traditional and modern structure attracts different groups of people with different requirements. Therefore¡ it can be concluded that its structural deficiencies are hidden by visual and practical attractions in this street. In addition¡ among different indexes of social sustainability¡ health and hygienic condition of citizens and easy access to urban services for all citizens gained the highest score in Bahman 22nd Street.

City as highest symbol of human civilization has a fundamental role for all citizens. But concentrating only on the quantitative aspect of cities has created a bio polar character in most of the developing countries. So the concept of quality of life deals with the problems of urban residents and promotion of his qualitative aspect of living. In fact this paper tries to explain the quality of life in the eroded fabric of the Miandoaab city on the base of four socio-economic, physical-environmental and mental-subjective indexes. The methodology of the research is based on descriptive-analytical methods by conducting a field work to complete the given questionnaires. Cochran technique was used to determine the number of samples, then Entropy and SAW techniques were applied to analysis and rank the different neighborhoods. The results revealed that the index of green space with score of 0.477 showed clear difference with other indexes. In general, the mean of each factor was calculated which the factor of urban service and facility scored 0.138 and placed in first rank as residents were dissatisfied regarding to this index. It seems that provision of urban facilities should be considered more seriously in future planning. The findings from SAW technique revealed that neighborhoods of 19, 20 and 21 had an appropriate condition while the neighborhoods of 10, 11 and 12 placed the lowest rank.
