    Celebrating diversity: A framework for urban discourses

    Journal PaperLocal Development & Society , 2021 February 19, {Pages 20-Jan }

    Abstract

    This study aims to see how Iranian cities urban discourses are celebrating diversity. The comprehensive plans of the five most diverse cities of Iran are analyzed based on six diversity policies categories through a content analysis methodology. Results indicate that Iranian cities comprehensive plans are prone to celebrate diversity. Still, they are not designed based on the whole idea of diversity and “diversity in planning” is more considered than “planning for diversity”. Hence, plans must consider policies in a way that they contribute to the recognition of diverse people and their needs, make their voices be heard and redistribute goods and services based on diverse individuals’ needs. Through their policies, th

    The Relational Model of Place-Crime Management as a Methodological Approach in Urban Crimes

    Abstract

    Background and objectives: The category of "place management" and the "place" factor are one of the recent advances in situation-based crime prevention approaches. The purpose of this study was to integrate these two concepts in the form of presenting two qualitative models mixed with real evidence of urban crimes. Methodology: The research approach is qualitative, which has two strategies of simulation and logical reasoning based on secondary analysis of quantitative data of real crimes and extraction of components related to "place in crime". The statistical population of the study also includes 392 cases of the final location of urban crimes that were extracted with the help of quantitative content analysis technique on the "MagIran" sit

    Theoretical explanation of emergent urban spaces and its spatial representation in Tehran city

    Journal PaperThe Journal of Spatial Planning , Volume 25 , Issue 1, 2021 March 10, {Pages 45-67 }

    Abstract

    In the recent decades, there have happened many spatial resistances in response to the privatization, Islamization, securitization and increasing control over public urban spaces in Tehran city context. These mostly have been the outcome of agency of marginalized groups in the space production process. Spatial representation of these spatial resistances has been in such a way that could challenge the dominated spatial order in a temporal and unstable way, and the changing in spatial organization of the city has linked into these conflicts. This research seeks knowing the dominated relations upon these spaces and explaining them theoretically through concept of emergent spaces. At the first, in an experiential manner, spatial distribution of

    Making the invisible segregation of diverse neighbourhoods visible

    Mohammad Ghazaie, Mojtaba Rafieian, Hashem Dadashpoor
    Journal PaperJournal of Housing and the Built Environment , 2021 May 8, {Pages 24-Jan }

    Abstract

    There are not clear understandings of the mechanisms of diverse populations in Tehran although it is considered as one of the most diverse metropolitan cities in the middle east. This unexplored context in terms of diversity makes Tehran a unique context not only for exploring its social geography but to respond to a conflict among scholars who believe that diversity acts as an anti-segregation policy and those who believe that it ends in the rise of in-group contacts and causes segregation. To these ends, spatial analysis and inferential statistics are used. Results indicate that diverse populations of Tehran have given rise to the formation of diverse neighbourhoods—where different socioeconomic groups and physical structures are locate

    Measuring the Qualitative Visual Streetscapes Experience of People Using the Customer Experience Management (CEM) Method; Case Study: Karim Khan Zand Street, Shiraz

    Journal PaperUrban Management Studies , Volume 12 , Issue 44, 2021 March 17, {Pages 85-102 }

    Abstract

    Introduction and Goal of Research: In recent decades, the protection of visual streetscapes has been raised as one of the most important issues in the field of heritage of historic cities. The streetscape of Karim Khan Zand Street, Shiraz is one of the most valuable ones for which not only a protection plan has not been prepared but it has been seriously threatened by the continuation of the current trend. On the other hand, from the past to the present, measuring the quality of visual streetscapes by referring to the characteristics has been one of the most important urban design concerns. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to measure the quality experience of the person presents in the space from the street perspective using the

    From the kingdom lash to participation: The tale of urban planning in Iran

    Journal PaperSocial Sciences & Humanities Open , Volume 2 , Issue 1, 2020 January 1, {Pages 100022 }

    Abstract

    This article discusses the duality of centralized/plural power in the urban planning of Iran. It takes centralized power (traditional) as the instrumental rationality and vertical planning, and multiplied power (Foucauldian) as the participative planning and communicative rationality. According to this notional framework, the article surveys urban planning in Iran since 1930, from its first activity regarding urban development to the utilization of citizen participation in 2001 for the renovation of unofficial dwellings. The main motivation for this paper is that while the participation of citizens is accepted in developed countries, in Iran, it is not transparent although the Iranian political system is considered democratic and it is expe
