Social, cultural, and economic poverty is the most important factorbehind the emergence of suburbanization in cities.Although the suburbanites live in the realm of socioeconomic life of cities, they are not accepted as official citizens in the community. The main objective of this research is to provide strategies for empowerment of suburbanites inSonghor's town of shohada(of Kermanshah border province). Identifying the capabilities and limitations of suburbanite is very effective in achieving their empowerment strategies. The method of the research is a descriptive – analytical and survey method using Delphi method. The Method of data collecting is library method and interviewing experts and officials of Songor's municipality.QSPM and SWOT techniques have been used to analyze data. The results indicate that Suburban area in terms of the current situation is in a moderate position on the basis of the internal and external evaluation matrix,and in other words, the suburban region has not been able to exploit the strengths and has not taken advantage of the opportunities available and has been unable to escape the factors which cause its weakness and threat. Finally, after analyses done and providing a quantitative strategic planning and prioritization of the strategies,WO5's review strategyi.e holding of a justification workshop for urban managers to implement the empowerment and organization with a final score of 2.55,has become a top priority as the most important strategy. SO5's aggressive strategy i.e the establishment of a special committee for empowerment and organization holding special committee for empowerment and organizing is also in the second priority.

Integrated urban management is a modern theory proposed officially in Iran during the last one or two decades with the aim of reducing urban expenses especially in Tehran municipality. Inconsistencies among managing organizations result in confusion of urban organizations and wasting material and spiritual capital, in a way that sometimes decisions made by urban service organizations contrast with one another. Nowadays, lack of integrated urban management has imposed multiple costs to the urban economy and ultimately challenged urbanization culture.
The present article seeks to find a solution for integrated urban management and development of urbanization culture and exploiting capabilities and opportunities in all sections. Descriptive-analytic methods are used. In theoretical discussion, historical method are applied based on available data. Results indicate that in accordance with urbanization growths in Tehran and development of different organizations, disagreement between decisions and plans and disturbances in urban environment have intensified. Urban management is mutually related with the development of urbanization culture. Urbanization culture is shaped in accordance with urban management.
Investigations indicate that there is no mutual relationship between urban managers in building urban spaces. Organized and beautiful space results in cultural growth and development. According to the research findings, most of inconsistencies in Tehran are related to excavations performed by organizations working in water, power and telecommunication sectors which causes mental distress and social anomalies. These inconsistencies are more sensible in southern parts of the city and fewer inconsistencies are observable in northern parts.

Worn-out structures confront structural, social and economic challenges. The three indices of transience, impermeability and granulites are major features of such structures. "Martyre Dastgheib" area as one of the worn-out structures of district 9 in Tehran is facing various structural, social and economic challenges. The aim of this study is explaining distribution of failures and their interrelationships, and the comparative study of mentioned indices in order to achieve sustainable urban neighborhood. It seems that the best solution for controlling and reducing worn-out urban structures is spatial analysis from structural, economic and sociocultural aspects. Current study was done aiming at organizing "Martyre Dastgheib" area with a systematic perspective whose main bases are described through the improvement of physical appearance and urban revival. To this end, the major question is whether structural, social and economic indices influence on vulnerability analysis of worn-out structure of "Martyre Dastgheib" area identically.
The research type is descriptive- analytical and survey. Data were collected through library-based procedures and field study. In analysis step, firstly, values and data for all indices were extracted, and then respective indices were weighted according to Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Findings show that by integration of structural, economic and social layers for measuring vulnerability of worn-out structures, they are classified into low-vulnerability to high-vulnerability areas. 24.3 percent of the area was with high-vulnerability, 47.3 percent faced to considerable vulnerability, 14.7 and 13.7 percent faced to average and low vulnerability, respectively. Considering this finding, organization of worn-out structure in this area through an integrated approach including improvement, modernization and reconstruction is possible.

Field studies and statistical investigation indicate that Shahr-e Kord (capital city of Chahar-Mahal va Bakhtiari province) has experienced a significant physical-special development. So that during the last 50 years, its annual population has increased 3.6 percent and the city area has enlarged about 5 percent. This increase in area and population which is mostly due to immigration, has resulted in the emergence of self-growing urban neighborhoods, agricultural land use changing into residential ones, destruction of environment and increasing environmental pollutions, lack of infrastructure and inconsistence urban development, etc. The present article aims to perform spatial analyze on the quality and quantity of inconsistence physical development in Shahr-e Kord during1956-2006. Descriptive-analytic survey and Shannon and Holdern Anthropic models are applied. Results and findings indicate that the city had linear physical development during this time period. Before the revolution (1956-1976), this linear development had a slow trend. Yet, physical development of city have had a dramatic linear trend from 1981 onward due to irregular immigration of villagers to cities, settlement of nomads, refugees in Iran-Iraq war. Results of Shanon entropy model performed during 1996-2006 confirm the linear trend of city development and according to Holdren model around 82 percent of the city physical-spatial growth during 1956-2006 was due to the population increase and 18 percent is related to horizontal and spiral growth of the city. This happened due to lack of control and surveillance by urban managers and a codified program for the consistence development of the city.

Following the industrial, economic and social changes in recent decades, rural emigration to urban areas have increased and development of urban areas have caused different social damages. Nowadays, social damages are among the most important threats to the security of metropolises. Growing increase in the number of criminals in metropolises, especially in developing countries is the most important concern of urban managers. Considering the security, economic, social requirements of this issue, identifying effective factors in increasing urban crimes is the most important part of urban planners’ agenda. The present article seeks to identify factors affecting crimes and social damages as a mean for preventing and controlling them. Suburban areas are an important context for social damages and their development results in an increase of social-economic insecurity. Results indicate that instability of humanistic values can easily increase due to different damages and crimes (either in the form of deviation or sickness or disorder). Social and economic injustice and specifically slow cultural development have resulted in many urban crimes. Cultural and economic poverty is the most important factor in the development and growth of urban crimes and results in urban texture worn out. The present article investigates social damages theoretically and conceptually, while classifying effective factors in the occurrence of crime and damages in suburban environment into three different groups of social-cultural, economic and physical factors.
