With the increasing urbanism in many regions of the world, the insufficiencies and problems of urban life have increased especially in developing countries. Increasing crime and insecurity in cities can be identified as one of these problems. Many sociologists and urban planners agree on the role of urban texture and urban environments in preventing and decreasing crimes and have proposed related designing principles and necessary guidelines. The present article clarifies the role of urban spaces in crime prevention and in creating a secure environment for citizens, using a descriptive-analytic method, secondary resources and different theories proposed by sociologists and urban planners.

Nowadays, commercial complexes and specially shopping centers as the most obvious and the latest type of these complexes have changed into an active commercial nucleus of large and modern cities due to their function and importance in daily life of citizens. Different forms of shopping centers provide diverse goods and services for their customers. Apart from economic and commercial functions, they have accepted social-cultural and recreational functions. They have changed into a place for dynamic social and cultural interactions and a place for spending free time along with shopping. As if social-cultural roles of old Iranian bazaars are recreated in a modern format. Considering the extent of commercial complex role, function and importance in social, economic and recreational activation of urban areas, strategic planning for construction and development of these complexes is especially sensitive. The present article introduces principles and foundations of drafting strategic document and planning such complexes using global literature and experiences. Descriptive-analytic research method is used. Information is collected using documentary method. Results indicate that there are four strategic areas in strategic planning of these complexes: locating area, design and tenure area, research and consultation area, financial area and each of these areas have their own goals, strategies, guidelines.

Nowadays the air Pollution is one of the must serious problems in urban areas. More than 90 percent of total pullotion in urban environments consist five kinds of air pollutants. Comparation of static and daynamic resources of air pollution shows that share of dynamics resources is highly more than section.
Different Organizations and institute have role in field of environmental management and specially in air pullation management investigation about municipalities as local and administrative managers roll in laws shows that local management role in neglected in laws and many duties of municipalities are remove to other urban organizations.
In This paper the main gole is studing the role and legal situation of municipalities in field of air pullotion management. This research is apply with describtive analytical method. Data gathering is documentary by referring to laws and regulations of municipalities and national environment organization. The result show that the role of municipality is participatory like other organizations such as police. The role of local management is neglected in law collection some studies instead of municipality are remove of macro level organization like environmental organization. So lack of attention to role of municipalities for reduction of air pollution is one of reasons for failure of air pollution control programs.

Urban environment has always been considered a context influenced by different economic-political processes, and a place for the emergence of phenomena like injustice, lack of healthcare, unemployment, class difference, etc. rooted in economic policies. In other words, human environment somehow represent the dominant idea of that society. In the background, dominant ideology guide these changes. Regarding the significant influences of these opinions on urban environment, it is necessary to investigate them. The present study explores the influence of neoliberalism policy on the urban environment focusing on cities in the United Kingdom. Neoliberalism emerged in 1970s and 1980s as a leading policy. This idea was born by the capitalistic world. Here, the concept of globalization is a context for this idea. What is known as neoliberalism first began in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. The present study seeks to investigate the influence of this ideology on British urban space. The research method used is descriptive-analytic.

An approach to sustainable form of city
Abstract
Sustainable development is a modern concept which has been propounded widely by linking different dimensions of development (economic, cultural, political and social) and focusing on climatic considerations and environment protection. On the other hand since 1960s, urban designing has attracted the attention of many scholars working in the field of visual space beautification and those who sought to increase environmental responsibility among managers. Therefore, the present article first explains “development” as a classic and sustainable notion, urban development policies and urban sustainability index. Then, it introduces and analyzes new patterns of “sustainable development” as the foundations of urban sustainable development and a tool by which governments can reach goals of sustainable development. In fact, this is an introduction to the discussions of urban sustainable construction and form, based on which some urban models related to the sustainability of modern cities are proposed.
Key words: sustainable development, urban sustainable development, urban designing, urban destiny, urban agriculture.

It is possible to call tourism as the “White Industry” because in contrast to most manufacturing industries it provide the necessary prerequisites for friendship and mutual understanding between different nations and bring peace for people without polluting the environment. Industry is a revenue and a source of employment in national level. Tourism is an appropriate alternative and a development strategy, especially when other economic sections are making less profit. Thus, coping with low levels of income and providing new opportunities for employment and social changes are the principle reasons for the development of tourism which can provide new hopes for decreasing poverty especially in areas facing economic depression. Some advantages of this industry includes employment, bringing cash to the country, regional interaction, aiding global peace, helping investment in cultural heritage, improving the environment, improving wild life habitat, developing rural regions with tourism attractions and preventing emigration. The present article explains obstacles and negative effects of tourism and then applies descriptive-analytic method to explain society-based tourism as a solution.

Pragmatism is an American-originated movement that has profoundly influenced the rational life in the United States and has had increasing influence in the United Kingdom. The philosophical analysis of its origin was carried out in England and Vienna.it was initially addressed in Britain and, recently, in the United States it has been a subject of speculations and debates. Pragmatism is especially a method for solving or evaluating rational issues, as well as a theory about the types of identifications we have the possibility to learn and gain. This school, called pragmatism, or the actuality of action, considers a case as a fact that has a practical advantage, and in other words the truth is the meaning created by the mind, by which it struggles to obtain better and more practical results. To find This is a point that has not been explicitly mentioned in any other philosophical school, as its root can be found in Hume's words, where he calls the wisdom the servant of human desires and confines the value of knowledge to its practical aspect. Pragmatist geography is in search of a modification of the human environment through the use of geographic techniques and methods. Therefore, the value of geography is judged to be real only when it has practical aspect.

Growing urban population, unpreparedness of urban areas to respond to the needs of community and partial views and trends of planning have led to serious economic, social, environmental and physical problems in the cities. Hundreds of millions of poor people today have very few options for their lives in unsafe, unsanitary towns lacking basic facilities. Based on this, City Development Strategy (CDS) was developed by the Coalition for Cities to resolve some of these issues.The urban development strategy is an effective approach to create collective decision-making processes in developing countries and to reduce the overall poverty level and ensure sustainable development. This paper uses descriptive-analytical method to examine first the attitudes of the Coalition for Cities and then the practical experiences of city development strategy (CDS) in the world. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the CDS experiences in the world in order to help urban planners to improve the quality of life and residence of citizens. In this research, the practical experiences of CDS in Phnom Penh, Shen Yang, Amman and Urada, Santo Andre have been analyzed.

Postmodernism is considered to be the most prevalent feature of modernism, which is characterized by a combined imitation (Pastiche). The postmodern moment comes when the avant-garde (modern) is no longer able to continue and advance, and can not go a step further. The postmodern response to modernity implies acknowledgment of the fact that the past must be reconsidered or revised, because the past can not really be destroyed, because the destruction of the past leads to silence. Postmodernism indicates a new kind of crisis in the modernist culture itself. This crisis emphasizes that scattered, decomposing, passing, turbulent and disordered aspect in Baudelaire’s formulation. Post-modern state of affairs has been closely associated with the growth of cities, particularly with the dramatic trend of urbanization and migration to major cities in recent decades. But this growth of cities was beyond what Le Corbusier and Max Weber considered to be for civilized and rational groups. In general, modernism and postmodernism have influenced various fields of literature, art, architecture, urban sociology, social theory, and urbanization, and their influence is still evident in these areas. In this article, written by descriptive-analytical method, we try to consider the concepts and characteristics of modernism and postmodernism in the field of urbanization, their differences and effects, especially of postmodernism, in different urban areas including physical and non-physical.

Geography, as a cross-disciplinary science, has greatly benefited from the social and philosophical sciences during its evolution. Functionalism is one of the influential ideas in geography and especially in urban planning as one of the subcategories of this science. In this study, considering functionalism as an essential activity for social life, we have dealt with the key elements of this theory that helped to the life and survival of city. After studying the history and concepts of this theory and its relation with geography based on evidence and secondary documents, we have examined the position of this theory in the urban system and urban planning. What can be said as the result is as follows: The validity of this theory in geography has been most accepted during the period 1920-1960 as the peak and flourishing period of its application after the formation of the Charter of Athens and the prevalence of comprehensive planning. The period from 1960s onwards has been the period of decline and inefficiency of the theory due to the prevalence of a systematic approach and the strategic structural patterns.

The school of criminal geography came into existence in 1830 and lasted for a few decades, but today it is nowadays not as significant in criminal sociology as before. The criminal geography was founded by the Belgian mathematician Quetelet and French jurist Guerry. Quetelet was mathematician and an expert in statistics and analyzed human behavior through mathematics and statistics, and founded criminal statistics in France by the help of Guerry. They examined its connection with natural environment and so, studied the effect of climatic conditions on the behavior of human beings, including criminal acts. This school was existent as late as 1830.

Globalization is a term now found in many scientific texts, and practically all scholars have had certain contemplations about it. Undoubtedly, if there are thoughts about achievement of globalization, both desirable and unwanted results of it must be taken into account, and it is certain that a process of this power involves influence and change. The process of globalization on the one hand, and its impacts on cities on the other, indicate the need to pay attention to the interactions of these two, which is vital for cities as the main and most important human settlements. This discourse, along with presenting a brief history of globalization, highlights impacts of this process on cities, and examines the nature of these effects in developed and underdeveloped or developing countries in economic, socio-cultural, environmental and physical terms.

Given that cities are carriers of culture, derived from nature and reflecting the spectrum of our social goals, technology, values and institutions, they are considered as significant subjects of study for cultural geographers as they provide the scholar with a deep insight into human mosaics. City is considered a cultural phenomenon and therefore it should be viewed from the point of view of cultural geography. Cultural geography, which is considered by some thinkers as including social and economic geography, is a worthwhile view that can help examine some of the social, economic and physical qualities and effects of the city. Cultural geography covers the study of spatial changes of cultural groups and spatial functions of society, and relies on description and analysis of differences and similarities in language, religion, economics, government and other cultural phenomena from place to place. Given that cultures are formed by human groups, cultural geography, therefore, necessarily involves humans in aggregate. In this paper, we try to investigate the internal structure of city with emphasis on some of the well-known concepts of cultural geography perspective, such as urban cultural areas, cultural broadcasting and cultural perspective of the city.

Postmodernism has been interpreted as a broader concept than modernity, and it is the offspring of modernism. The era of modernism, which was based on trust to human intellect and did not accept a world beyond reason, was influenced by philosophers such as Hegel, Kant, Rene Descartes, and before that, Francis Bacon, which caused profound changes in various areas of human life, and perhaps it was only in this period that mankind reached full self-confidence and considered itself to be ruler over its own destiny. But modernism, as it originally seemed to have succeeded, had major effects on crises such as the first and second World Wars and the racial, gender and environmental crises in the twentieth century. These factors led the philosophers and thinkers of the second half of the 20th century to doubt the wisdom of pure reason, and those like Karl Raymond Popper believe that rationalism must itself be criticized. Therefore, a period in the name of postmodernism has come to the fore which has had profound effects in various scientific and artistic fields. In this paper, we have tried to understand the concepts and definitions of modernism and postmodernism to the extent possible, and to analyze the similarities and differences between them and the impacts that each period have had on different urban areas, both physical and non-physical.

The Central Place Theory of Walter Christaller, a well-known German geographer, was first proposed in his 1933 book "Central Places in South Germany". The term central point or place is used to refer to a location that supplies goods and services to its surrounding areas, and is thus central to several areas and the source of their needs. In fact, this theory is designed to respond to the spatial distribution of cities and the systems of hierarchy among them, and the centrality of a site increases and decreases with corresponding increase and decrease in the level of service received by that location. In this paper, first the hypotheses and principles of the theory of Christaller are presented based on whose assumptions it can be said that in this theory all phenomena are placed in their ideal state, something that can be rarely found in reality. After assumptions, the urban hierarchy has been examined; according to his observations on central locations in southern Germany, Christaller found that there is a hierarchical system in the economic and administrative system of these central locations. His belief in the existence of a hierarchy among the central locations of the southern regions of Germany led him to classify them according to their population and degree of centrality. According to the Central Place Theory, the spatial distribution of central places takes shape in a regular geometric space that is displayed in the form of conventional and overlapping polygons (hexagons). After urban hierarchy, the concept of threshold and the concept of the sphere of influence of goods and services in the Central Location Theory, the factors affecting the return of consumers to the central location, the assessment of economic activities in a hierarchical system and the application of central places in regional planning are examined, and after reviewing these cases, Christaller’s theory has been evaluated, and finally a conclusion has been made.
