		<Abstract>&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the rapid expansion of urbanization and the increasing complexity of spatial and social dynamics in contemporary cities, urban design has emerged as a critical discipline in enhancing the quality of life. While visual and physical aspects have traditionally dominated design practices, the sensory dimension—particularly sound—has remained underrepresented. Human interaction with the environment, however, is inherently multisensory. The soundscape, as an integral part of spatial perception, has a profound effect on emotional well-being, place attachment, and social interaction. This research addresses the need to integrate acoustic considerations into urban design, focusing on how sound influences the sense of place in public urban spaces.&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Despite its fundamental role, sound is often perceived as a background phenomenon, treated either as an environmental nuisance or overlooked entirely in urban planning discourses. Yet emerging interdisciplinary perspectives reveal that auditory experiences can actively shape spatial legibility, behavioral patterns, and social inclusivity. The inclusion of sound as a design parameter not only enhances aesthetic and functional dimensions of space but also aligns with the broader goal of creating health-promoting, equitable, and emotionally resonant urban environments. Recognizing the soundscape as a spatial resource invites designers to engage with acoustic diversity and narrative, turning ordinary urban settings into immersive and meaningful places.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theoretical Framework&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sound functions as a cultural, ecological, and aesthetic dimension of space. Schafer’s foundational work in &lt;em&gt;The Tuning of the World&lt;/em&gt; (1977) emphasized the idea that societies are shaped not only by what they see but also by what they hear, introducing key distinctions such as hi-fi (high-fidelity) and lo-fi (low-fidelity) environments—where clarity or masking of sound affects perception and experience. Later expanded by Truax (2001) through the lens of soundscape composition and real-time acoustic interaction, and further developed by Kang &amp; Schulte-Fortkamp (2016) within the framework of soundscape standardization (e.g., ISO 12913), this theory underlies the emerging interdisciplinary field of acoustic ecology. This field brings together insights from environmental psychology, architecture, urban planning, and auditory science to evaluate how sound environments interact with human behavior and spatial meaning.Research has increasingly shown that the quality of acoustic environments in urban settings can significantly influence users’ comfort, safety, social engagement, and overall perception of space (Brown et al., 2011; Aletta et al., 2016). Environments enriched with natural sounds—such as water, wind, or birdsong—are frequently associated with positive affective states, reduced mental fatigue, and enhanced cognitive restoration (Kaplan &amp; Kaplan, 1989; Pheasant et al., 2010). These sounds serve not only as pleasant background stimuli but also as indicators of ecological health and spatial tranquility. In contrast, urban noise pollution—characterized by continuous traffic, industrial activity, or densely packed human presence—often leads to increased physiological stress, reduced spatial legibility, and a decline in users’ willingness to remain or return (Gidlöf-Gunnarsson &amp; Öhrström, 2007; Steele et al., 2019). The dichotomy between restorative and disruptive sounds underscores the need for a nuanced understanding of acoustic perception as both an individual and collective urban experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methodology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative analysis with quantitative evaluation. Initially, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to extract key urban design indicators that potentially affect acoustic quality. Concurrently, primary acoustic components—acoustic balance, functional quietness, sound diversity, perceptual clarity, acoustic sustainability, and sonic identity—were identified. A two-round Delphi method was implemented involving 20 experts in urban design and environmental acoustics to assess the impact level of each indicator. Subsequently, mean scores were calculated, and the Jenks natural breaks classification was applied to rank the indicators into high, medium, and low impact categories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results and Discussion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The findings indicate that urban design factors such as control of building density and height, spatial orientation, incorporation of local sonic identity, and increased green coverage have the greatest positive impact on soundscape quality. Components like acoustic-functional compatibility, sound sustainability, and user auditory perception demonstrated the highest sensitivity to urban design interventions. The developed conceptual model comprises three interrelated layers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Physical-Spatial Layer:&lt;/strong&gt; Involving the layout, form, and density of urban elements that influence sound propagation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Environmental Layer:&lt;/strong&gt; Including materials, vegetation, and water elements that shape the acoustic absorption and modulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Experiential-Perceptual Layer:&lt;/strong&gt; Addressing human interpretations, auditory memory, and emotional responses to sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study further illustrates that designing with sound in mind enhances psychological comfort, encourages lingering and interaction, and reinforces users’ cognitive mapping of space. Spaces enriched with coherent, identity-based soundscapes contribute to the creation of “auditory landmarks” that deepen the user’s sense of belonging.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This research presents a systematic framework linking urban design principles with acoustic ecosystem dynamics, emphasizing the need for deliberate integration of sound into design processes. The implications extend beyond aesthetics, suggesting that sound should be approached as an active design element rather than a residual consequence. Accordingly, the study advocates for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sound-conscious urban design&lt;/strong&gt; practices and guidelines,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Integration of digital acoustic tools&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g., simulations, sensors, sound maps),&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Professional training&lt;/strong&gt; for planners and designers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Equitable sonic environments&lt;/strong&gt; through the emerging lens of sound justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By shifting from a visually dominated to a multisensory design paradigm, urban designers can help craft environments that are not only seen and used but also heard, remembered, and emotionally experienced. The study ultimately contributes to reimagining cities as more inclusive, sensorially rich, and human-centered places.</Abstract>
			<OtherAbstract Language="FA">با رشد شهرنشینی و پیچیدگی‌های زیستی-فضایی، لزوم توجه به ابعاد چندحسی در طراحی فضاهای عمومی بیش از پیش احساس می‌شود. در این میان، «اکوسیستم صوتی» به‌عنوان بعدی کمتر دیده‌شده اما تأثیرگذار در کیفیت تجربۀ زیستۀ شهروندان اهمیت یافته است. برخلاف دیدگاه سنتی که صدا را تنها منبع آلودگی قلمداد می‌کرد، رویکردهای معاصر صدا را عنصری بالقوه در ارتقای حس مکان و کیفیت زندگی می‌دانند. این پژوهش با هدف بررسی تأثیر شاخص‌های طراحی شهری بر کیفیت اکوسیستم‌های صوتی و درک مکان انجام شده است. سؤال اصلی پژوهش آن است که چگونه عناصر طراحی شهری می‌توانند بر مؤلفه‌های صوتی فضا و تجربۀ ادراکی شهروندان اثرگذار باشند. روش پژوهش به‌صورت توصیفی‌ـ‌تحلیلی و با رویکردی تلفیقی انجام گرفته است. ابتدا شاخص‌ها و مؤلفه‌های صوتی از طریق مرور منابع نظری استخراج شد. سپس با استفاده از روش دلفی و مشارکت ۲۰ نفر از متخصصان حوزۀ طراحی شهری و آکوستیک محیطی، میزان تأثیر شاخص‌های طراحی بر مؤلفه‌های صوتی ارزیابی شد. داده‌ها با بهره‌گیری از الگوریتم Jenks برای تحلیل خوشه‌ای پردازش شدند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که شاخص‌هایی نظیر کنترل تراکم و ارتفاع ساختمان‌ها، تقویت هویت صوتی محلی و بهره‌گیری از پوشش گیاهی، نقش مؤثری در بهبود مؤلفه‌هایی، چون تعادل صوتی، سکوت عملکردی و کیفیت تجربۀ شنیداری دارند. در نتیجه، طراحی شهری می‌تواند با رویکردی میان‌رشته‌ای و حساس به صدا، بستر مناسبی برای ارتقای ادراک حسی و تجربۀ مکان فراهم آورد. مدل مفهومی پژوهش نیز سه لایۀ کالبدی، زیست‌محیطی و ادراکی را در تعامل با کیفیت صوتی معرفی و راهبردهایی برای طراحی صوت‌محور ارائه می‌دهد.</OtherAbstract>

		<Abstract>&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Informal settlements represent some of the most vulnerable urban areas, often characterized by weak infrastructure, limited access to public services, and heightened exposure to social insecurity. Women, as a particularly sensitive group, experience these vulnerabilities more intensely, making their perception of safety and sense of belonging especially critical. This study examines the sociological role of &lt;strong&gt;place attachment&lt;/strong&gt; in enhancing &lt;strong&gt;social security&lt;/strong&gt; among residents of the informal settlement of Khizr neighborhood in Hamedan, Iran, with a specific emphasis on women. The research aims to highlight how psychological and social ties to place can serve as effective tools in addressing security challenges in marginalized communities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theoretical Framework&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Place attachment is conceptualized as the emotional and cognitive bond individuals form with their living environment (Giuliani, 2003). Prior studies demonstrate its multidimensional role in shaping social cohesion, neighborhood stability, and collective efficacy (Sampson et al., 1997; Vidal et al., 2010). Hidalgo and Hernandez (2001) stress that attachment is not merely psychological but deeply embedded in social and cultural interactions, which can mitigate perceptions of insecurity. Within informal urban contexts, where structural deficiencies often amplify insecurity, place attachment may operate as a &lt;strong&gt;social mechanism&lt;/strong&gt; to enhance collective trust and resilience.&lt;br /&gt;For this study, place attachment was measured through four dimensions: &lt;strong&gt;emotional dependence, social participation, responsibility toward the neighborhood, and place identity&lt;/strong&gt;. Social security was defined through perceptions of &lt;strong&gt;personal safety, family well-being, social order, and environmental safety&lt;/strong&gt;. These constructs provide the theoretical basis for exploring how emotional and social investment in place can influence perceptions of security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methodology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;This research employed an &lt;strong&gt;applied, survey-based design&lt;/strong&gt;. The statistical population consisted of all residents of the Khizr informal settlement in Hamedan. Based on Cochran’s formula and proportional stratified random sampling, &lt;strong&gt;392 valid questionnaires&lt;/strong&gt; were collected.&lt;br /&gt;The instrument was a researcher-designed questionnaire composed of three sections:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Demographics&lt;/strong&gt; (age, marital status, education, length of residence).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eight items&lt;/strong&gt; on place attachment, covering emotional, participatory, responsible, and identity-related aspects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ten items&lt;/strong&gt; on social security, addressing personal, familial, social, and environmental safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Content validity was confirmed by five experts, and reliability was supported by Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of &lt;strong&gt;0.84&lt;/strong&gt; for place attachment and &lt;strong&gt;0.88&lt;/strong&gt; for social security. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, ANOVA, and multivariate regression in SPSS (v.26).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results and Discussion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Descriptive findings indicated that the average levels of place attachment (M = 3.64) and social security (M = 3.42) were both &lt;strong&gt;above the midpoint&lt;/strong&gt; of the scale, suggesting relatively positive attitudes among residents.&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;correlation analysis&lt;/strong&gt; revealed a strong, positive relationship between place attachment and social security (r = 0.65, p &lt; 0.001). Among the sub-dimensions of place attachment, &lt;strong&gt;emotional dependence&lt;/strong&gt; exhibited the strongest correlation (r = 0.68), underscoring the pivotal role of emotional ties in fostering security perceptions. Responsibility (r = 0.62), place identity (r = 0.59), and participation (r = 0.57) also showed significant but relatively weaker associations.&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;ANOVA results&lt;/strong&gt; indicated statistically significant differences in perceived security across groups with varying levels of place attachment (F = 14.67, p &lt; 0.001). Residents with higher attachment consistently reported stronger feelings of security.&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;regression model&lt;/strong&gt; demonstrated that place attachment explained &lt;strong&gt;45% of the variance&lt;/strong&gt; in social security (R² = 0.45), with a beta coefficient of &lt;strong&gt;0.673&lt;/strong&gt; (p &lt; 0.001). This highlights place attachment as a &lt;strong&gt;powerful predictor&lt;/strong&gt; of perceived security in informal settlements.&lt;br /&gt;These findings align with prior studies (Hidalgo &amp; Hernandez, 2001; Sampson et al., 1997) that emphasize the role of neighborhood cohesion in reducing insecurity and social disorder. Locally, the results resonate with Iranian studies (Bazargan et al., 2011; Farahani &amp; Jalali, 2020) that identify women’s participation and community responsibility as key factors in urban safety.&lt;br /&gt;From a practical standpoint, the study shows that security in informal settlements is not solely dependent on policing or physical interventions but can be significantly enhanced through &lt;strong&gt;social and emotional integration&lt;/strong&gt;. Investments in public spaces, community participation programs, and opportunities for neighborhood dialogue can strengthen attachment, leading to more resilient and secure urban communities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This study demonstrates that &lt;strong&gt;place attachment is a crucial sociological factor&lt;/strong&gt; influencing perceptions of social security in informal urban contexts, particularly for women. Emotional bonds, social responsibility, and neighborhood identity emerged as central drivers of security perception. With 45% of variance explained, place attachment functions as a strategic predictor of security outcomes.&lt;br /&gt;Theoretically, the study extends urban sociology by framing attachment as a socio-cultural mechanism rather than merely a psychological construct. Practically, it suggests that urban planners and policymakers should prioritize &lt;strong&gt;soft, community-based strategies&lt;/strong&gt;—such as enhancing public spaces, encouraging participation, and fostering collective responsibility—over purely physical or policing measures.&lt;br /&gt;However, limitations include the focus on a single settlement and the use of cross-sectional data, which restrict generalizability and causal inference. Future research should employ &lt;strong&gt;longitudinal and mixed-method approaches&lt;/strong&gt;, incorporating comparative studies across formal and informal neighborhoods.&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately, the findings highlight that strengthening place attachment can serve as a &lt;strong&gt;low-cost and sustainable strategy&lt;/strong&gt; for promoting social security and resilience in marginalized urban settings, particularly empowering women who are most vulnerable to insecurity.</Abstract>
			<OtherAbstract Language="FA">این پژوهش با هدف تحلیل جامعه‌شناختی نقش حس تعلق مکانی در ارتقای امنیت اجتماعی ساکنان، با تأکید ویژه بر زنان در سکونتگاه غیررسمی محلۀ خضر شهر همدان انجام شده است. ضرورت این مطالعه از آنجا ناشی می‌شود که سکونتگاه‌های غیررسمی به‌عنوان یکی از آسیب‌پذیرترین بافت‌های شهری، با چالش‌های متعددی در حوزۀ امنیت اجتماعی و انسجام اجتماعی مواجهند و زنان به‌عنوان گروهی حساس‌تر، بیش از دیگران در معرض ناامنی‌های اجتماعی قرار دارند. روش پژوهش کاربردی و از نوع پیمایشی است. جامعۀ آماری پژوهش، کلیۀ ساکنان محلۀ خضر (اعم از زنان و مردان) است تا با لحاظ دیدگاه‌های متفاوت، سنجش دقیق‌تر و واقع‌بینانه‌تری از امنیت محله به ‌دست آید؛ هرچند تمرکز اصلی تحلیل‌ها بر امنیت زنان قرار دارد که بر اساس روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌ای، ۳۹۲ پرسشنامۀ معتبر گردآوری شد. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها پرسشنامۀ محقق‌ساخته بود که شامل سه بخش اطلاعات جمعیت‌شناختی، ۸ گویه مربوط به حس تعلق مکانی (شامل وابستگی عاطفی، مشارکت اجتماعی، مسئولیت‌پذیری و هویت‌یابی محله‌ای) و ۱۰ گویه مربوط به امنیت اجتماعی (شامل احساس امنیت فردی، خانوادگی، اجتماعی و محیطی) طراحی شد. روایی محتوایی پرسشنامه با نظر متخصصان و پایایی آن با آلفای کرونباخ (0.84 و 0.88) تأیید شد.&lt;br /&gt;نتایج توصیفی نشان داد میانگین حس تعلق مکانی (M=3.64) و امنیت اجتماعی (M=3.42) بالاتر از حد متوسط است. آزمون همبستگی پیرسون بیانگر وجود رابطۀ مثبت و معنادار بین حس تعلق مکانی و امنیت اجتماعی بود (r=0.65, p&lt;0.001). بررسی زیرشاخص‌ها نشان داد که قوی‌ترین عامل مؤثر بر امنیت اجتماعی وابستگی عاطفی (r=0.68) است، درحالی‌که مشارکت اجتماعی و هویت‌یابی نیز نقش‌های تکمیلی ایفا می‌کنند. نتایج تحلیل واریانس یک‌طرفه نشان داد سطح تعلق مکانی موجب تفاوت معنادار در احساس امنیت اجتماعی می‌شود، به‌گونه‌ای که افراد دارای تعلق بالاتر امنیت بیشتری را تجربه کردند. تحلیل رگرسیون چندمتغیره نیز نشان داد حس تعلق مکانی توانسته است ۴۵ درصد از تغییرات امنیت اجتماعی را تبیین کند (β=0.673, R²=0.45).&lt;br /&gt;این یافته‌ها ضمن هم‌راستایی با نظریات هیدالگو و هرناندز، گیولیانی و سامپسون تأکید می‌کنند که تعلق مکانی صرفاً یک عامل روان‌شناختی نیست، بلکه سازوکاری اجتماعی‌ـ‌فرهنگی است که می‌تواند در سیاست‌گذاری شهری به‌عنوان راهبردی نرم برای ارتقای امنیت اجتماعی زنان در سکونتگاه‌های غیررسمی به ‌کار رود. توجه به تقویت سرمایۀ اجتماعی محله‌ای، ارتقای کیفیت فضاهای عمومی و افزایش فرصت‌های مشارکت اجتماعی از مهم‌ترین دلالت‌های کاربردی این پژوهش است.</OtherAbstract>

		<Abstract>&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Modern urban development and lifestyle changes have transformed social interactions, often contributing to isolation. Yet, as inherently social beings, humans naturally seek spaces that encourage communication. Third places—informal public areas like cafés, parks, and lobbies—serve as vital platforms for fostering connections, strengthening community bonds, and mitigating social detachment. These neutral, inclusive environments promote a sense of belonging through spontaneous interactions. Universities, functioning as both academic and social hubs, particularly benefit from such spaces to facilitate meaningful relationships among students. This study examines the defining features of third places at Shahroud University of Technology’s central campus, focusing on the Faculty of Architecture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theoretical Framework&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The concept of &quot;third places,&quot; introduced in the 1970s and popularized by Ray Oldenburg and Dennis Brissett, refers to public spaces that are neither home nor work, serving as venues for informal social interactions that enhance community bonds. Key characteristics of third places include accessibility, simple and welcoming environments, and acceptance across social classes. In university settings, these spaces foster a sense of belonging, encourage informal exchanges among students, and build vibrant student communities. Designing areas like cafés and recreational centers can significantly improve student satisfaction and retention while promoting social engagement. Social interaction plays a vital role in the learning process, as it involves reciprocal actions that are understood by both individuals, and is a focus of study in psychology and sociology. Spaces that support social interactions contribute to feelings of security, foster a sense of place, and reduce risky behaviors, thereby enriching the overall university experience. Given the growing individualism and reliance on digital communication in modern society, creating suitable environments for social interaction in universities is essential for cultivating social cohesion and encouraging student relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methodology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This qualitative study was conducted on the central campus of Shahrood University of Technology, focusing on two informal social spaces: the lobby of the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning and the student cafeteria. These locations were chosen due to their significant role in fostering informal interactions among students. Data collection involved field observations and semi-structured interviews. Observations were conducted over six consecutive days (December 7–12, 2024), during various timeframes, to capture the spatial and social dynamics of these areas. A checklist based on Oldenburg’s criteria for third places guided the observations. Purposeful and convenient sampling was used to select 20 participants—10 from each location—based on their familiarity with the space and their ability to articulate personal experiences. Interviews were held both in person and online, each guided by six key questions. The data collection process continued until theoretical saturation was reached. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, with emerging themes categorized and interpreted. Validity was ensured through detailed documentation, expert reviews, and prolonged engagement in the field. Reliability was supported through data triangulation, thematic consistency, and member checking. The findings of this study are specific to the selected sites and cannot be generalized to all third places within the university campus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results and Discussion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While spaces like the lobby of the Faculty of Architecture and the university cafeteria do not completely embody all characteristics of &quot;third places,&quot; they exhibit several key features typical of such environments. These include providing a venue for casual interaction, minimizing formal power structures, and promoting a sense of social equality. These spaces are significant in students&#039; daily lives as they facilitate social connections, foster a sense of belonging, and support psychological well-being. However, limitations such as restricted accessibility, simplistic design, and lack of aesthetic appeal prevent these areas from fully realizing their potential as third places. Interviews indicate that specific campus spaces, including the architecture faculty lobby and the cafeteria, serve purposes beyond their basic physical or service functions and can be considered examples of third places. In the lobby, activities such as social interaction, resting, and conversation are prominent, contributing to a sense of belonging. Students emphasize its social role and flexibility, suggesting that improvements in interior design, spatial layout, and the addition of services like a café could enhance the experience. At the same time, they acknowledge challenges such as overcrowding, limited facilities, and subpar design. Regarding the cafeteria, while it serves an informal social purpose, it mainly caters to interactions among established social groups and is not very effective in fostering new connections. Major obstacles to its role as a third place include crowding, inefficient design, and poor ventilation. Nonetheless, aspects like a relatively comfortable atmosphere, good lighting, and a friendly environment enhance the sense of belonging and user satisfaction. In summary, the analysis suggests that to fully unlock the potential of these spaces as third places, design interventions, improvements in environmental performance, and enhancements in the overall spatial experience are essential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This study examines the characteristics of third spaces at Shahroud University and their role in enhancing social interactions among students. It is based on field observations and interviews conducted with students, focusing specifically on the lobby of the Faculty of Architecture and the university cafeteria. These areas are primarily used for informal social interactions and casual conversations. The lobby is described as a simple and accessible space that allows students to easily engage with one another, while the cafeteria serves as a venue for eating and resting, fostering a sense of belonging and promoting further informal interactions. To improve these spaces, suggestions include enhancing seating comfort, improving ventilation, and incorporating green areas. Future research could utilize quantitative methods and longitudinal studies to further explore the impact of these environments on social interactions.</Abstract>

		<Abstract>&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cities are dynamic institutions continuously undergoing complex and unpredictable changes influenced by social, economic, environmental, and technological factors. Facing challenges such as climate change, pandemics, energy crises, and natural hazards, the need to reassess urban responsiveness capacities is more urgent than ever. These conditions have revealed the inefficiencies of traditional planning approaches and strengthened the trend toward innovative models like the &quot;Agile City.&quot; An Agile City emphasizes smart governance, flexible infrastructures, efficient social services, and advanced technologies, pursuing goals beyond mere resilience to threats by intelligently redefining urban development pathways. This model integrates dynamism, resilience, data-driven decision-making, and civic participation, prioritizing environmental impact reduction, energy efficiency enhancement, and optimal resource management. Its realization requires a deep understanding of the interaction between space, citizens, and technology—a relationship where individual decisions across living, working, and recreational environments are intertwined with the city’s spatial and functional structures and evolve over time. Technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and augmented reality enable real-time environmental data analysis, rapid decision-making, and improved efficiency in resource management, transportation, energy distribution, and pollution control. However, the gap between theoretical discourse and practical guidelines, alongside a shortage of operational research, poses significant barriers to actualizing the Agile City. Urban foresight with this approach is an indispensable necessity for achieving long-term resilience and sustainability. Within this framework, Tehran—a metropolis characterized by heterogeneous urban morphology, rapid population growth, and weak local governance—is highly vulnerable to environmental threats and requires an agile model more than ever; a model that identifies key indicators, develops developmental scenarios, and employs a qualitative-futures approach to enhance the city’s dynamism and resilience.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This research adopts a futures studies approach and is applied in purpose and descriptive-analytical in type. Data collection was conducted through library research, document analysis, and surveys utilizing the Delphi method. The Delphi panel was selected through purposive sampling based on criteria including theoretical mastery, practical experience, willingness and ability to participate, and accessibility. The expert population comprised university professors, urban planning managers from the municipality, IT experts, urban resilience researchers, and urban regeneration consultants. Due to the absence of a comprehensive database, snowball sampling was employed, resulting in a sample size of 70. Initially, nine components and 48 indicators were identified as drivers, then reviewed by experts, narrowing down to 30 final indicators for analysis. A semi-structured questionnaire was distributed among experts who evaluated variables’ influence and dependence using a cross-impact matrix with scores of 0 (no effect), 1 (weak), 2 (moderate), 3 (strong), and P (potential effect). Cross-impact analysis was performed using MICMAC software, and final scenarios were developed with Scenario Wizard to extract key indicators influencing the system’s future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analysis of the direct impact matrix showed that out of 900 cells, 826 (91.78%) had non-zero values, with the highest frequency pertaining to strong and moderate influences, reflecting extensive and robust relationships among indicators. Among influential and dependent indicators, reliance on clean energy sources and energy consumption optimization had the highest direct influence, whereas climate impact assessment and mitigation had the lowest. Participatory planning showed the highest direct dependence, while digital business and platform expansion had the least. Regarding indirect effects, data-driven decisions had the greatest influence, and reliance on clean energy had the least. Direct and indirect impact diagrams illustrated complex interrelations of varying intensities among indicators, identifying key metrics for smart policymaking in Tehran’s urban governance. Indicators were categorized into five zones: Zone 1 (bilateral with high influence and dependence, e.g., material recycling and new technologies), Zone 2 (influential with high influence and low dependence, e.g., data-driven decisions and climate resilience), Zone 3 (dependent with low influence and high dependence), Zone 4 (independent with low influence and dependence), and Zone 5 (regulatory with balanced influence and dependence). Ranking showed reliance on clean energy and energy optimization leading in influence and dependence, and climate impact assessment ranking lowest. Scenario analysis via Scenario Wizard assessed these five zones under strong, plausible, and weak scenarios depicting various futures for Tehran’s technology, digital economy, infrastructure, and education, ultimately enhancing intelligent decision-making and effective urban governance policies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion and Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In today’s complex and high-risk world, futures studies have become essential tools for designing and managing resilient and agile cities. Tehran faces challenges including unbalanced urban expansion, infrastructure strain, air pollution, and climate change, requiring scenario-based and agile approaches in planning and governance. This study identified key drivers for Tehran’s agile city development, with data-driven decision-making as paramount. Without up-to-date data governance, anticipating and responding swiftly to urban threats is hindered, consistent with recent studies on smart city data reliance. Circular economy and resource recycling were highlighted as critical drivers, emphasizing that agile city development extends beyond technology to energy efficiency and resource recirculation. Reliance on clean energy also emerged as a vital driver reinforcing ecological resilience. Conversely, indicators such as participatory planning and institutional interaction showed highest dependence, underscoring social cohesion’s role in achieving urban agility. Intelligent traffic management and smart transportation function as regulatory indicators supporting system performance in crises. Analysis of three potential scenarios—strong, plausible, and weak—revealed Tehran’s future could range from sustainable to chaotic depending on institutional integration, technology, and data-driven governance. Ultimately, the research offers a practical model for enhancing Tehran’s resilience but faces limitations like incomplete stakeholder participation and weak dynamic data, necessitating further studies. Advanced analytical methods and local engagement are recommended to design more precise scenarios.</Abstract>

		<Abstract>The architecture of historical schools in Iran serves as a profound reflection of the country’s rich cultural, artistic, and scientific heritage, playing a pivotal role in shaping socio-cultural identity and urban character. Among these, the schools of Isfahan stand out as exemplary instances of traditional architectural design, embodying values of cultural continuity and social interaction. The concept of socio-cultural sustainability—which encompasses social justice, psychological security, environmental interaction, economic self-sufficiency, and proportional harmony—provides a critical framework for assessing these architectural achievements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methodology &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This study conducts a comparative analysis of socio-cultural sustainability indicators in two prominent historical schools of Isfahan: the Imamieh School, built during the Ilkhanid period, and the Chaharbagh School, a masterpiece of Safavid-era architecture. By examining their architectural components and their impact on cultural sustainability, the study aims to highlight how these elements can inform contemporary educational space design while reinforcing their significance as key elements of urban identity.&lt;br /&gt;Employing a qualitative and descriptive-analytical methodology, the research integrates library research, field observations, quantitative evaluations, and a structured questionnaire administered to 50 architecture experts. Key criteria for analysis include social justice, social interactions, psychological security, connection with nature, spatial proportions, and economic viability. The collected data were analyzed to determine the distinct contributions of each school to socio-cultural sustainability and urban identity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion and Result &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Imamieh School, one of the earliest examples of four-iwan schools in Islamic architecture, exhibits fundamental design elements such as symmetrical layouts and spatial arrangements conducive to education and prayer. However, it lacks the refinements observed in later architectural examples. The single entrance and limited interaction with the surrounding urban environment hinder its integration into the broader community. Additionally, the absence of gardens, a spatial hierarchy at the entrance, and a direct connection to natural elements constrain its overall socio-cultural sustainability.&lt;br /&gt;In contrast, the Chaharbagh School exemplifies the architectural evolution of the Safavid era, integrating advancements in spatial planning, ecological interaction, and communal functionality. Its intricate hierarchical layouts, gardens, water features, and open courtyards foster a serene environment conducive to both learning and social interaction. Strategically positioned entrances enhance connectivity with the adjacent market and public spaces, fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity. Moreover, shared spaces such as a mosque and communal gathering areas facilitate greater interaction between students and the broader community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Socio-Cultural Indicators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social Justice and Equity&lt;/strong&gt;: The Chaharbagh School excels in promoting equity through the equal distribution of rooms and shared facilities. Its modular design ensures that all students, regardless of social status, have equal access to educational resources. Conversely, while the Imamieh School provides access to all, its smaller scale and unequal room sizes result in less emphasis on spatial justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social Interaction and Community Engagement&lt;/strong&gt;: The Chaharbagh School prioritizes social interaction by incorporating large iwans, smaller iwanche spaces, and open courtyards that encourage dialogue and collaboration. Its integration with the surrounding urban fabric, facilitated by entrances aligned with the market and public spaces, further enhances communal engagement. In contrast, the Imamieh School’s single, small entrance isolates it from its surroundings, and its design provides fewer communal spaces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Psychological Security and Well-Being&lt;/strong&gt;: Psychological well-being is closely tied to architectural elements that foster a sense of safety and comfort. The Chaharbagh School achieves this through its symmetrical layout, natural lighting, and hierarchical spatial organization. Features such as gardens, water elements, and well-ventilated rooms enhance the overall learning environment. The Imamieh School, while preserving basic principles of Islamic architecture, lacks hierarchical entrances and designated green spaces, limiting its contribution to psychological security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connection with Nature&lt;/strong&gt;: The Chaharbagh School demonstrates a profound connection with nature through its central courtyard, gardens, and water features, including a small waterway (madi). These elements provide both aesthetic and functional benefits, fostering a tranquil setting. The Imamieh School, however, lacks significant natural features, focusing more on enclosed spaces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proportionality and Spatial Harmony&lt;/strong&gt;: The Chaharbagh School exemplifies proportionality through its adherence to human-scale dimensions and geometric harmony. Its hierarchical spatial organization, transitioning from the entrance through the courtyard to the mosque, creates a clear navigational flow. This is further emphasized by the alignment of its central axes with its primary entrance. The Imamieh School, while adhering to the four-iwan model, does not achieve the same level of spatial refinement, with misaligned axes and less effective use of peripheral spaces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Economic Self-Sufficiency&lt;/strong&gt;: Both schools exhibit economic sustainability through the use of locally sourced materials such as brick and tile. However, the Chaharbagh School’s larger scale and integration of a dedicated library and communal amenities indicate a higher degree of self-sufficiency and adaptability to the evolving needs of its users.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comparative findings highlight the Chaharbagh School as a superior example of socio-cultural sustainability. Its design not only adheres to the principles of Islamic architecture but also extends them through innovative features that foster community engagement, environmental harmony, and spatial proportionality. While the Imamieh School holds historical significance and serves as a foundational example of Islamic educational architecture, it falls short in achieving the same level of functionality and integration.&lt;br /&gt;This study underscores the importance of revisiting and adapting historical architectural principles for contemporary educational space design. Incorporating socio-cultural sustainability indicators—such as social justice, ecological integration, and spatial harmony—can enhance the functionality and cultural relevance of modern educational environments. Additionally, the findings suggest further research into the role of traditional architectural elements in fostering sustainability, particularly in rapidly urbanizing contexts.</Abstract>

		<Abstract>&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spatial justice has a great impact on the realization of social and economic justice. The appropriate distribution of different spaces and uses in the city, by providing services of equal quality and quantity in different areas, leads to the formation of spatial justice. Urban services and resources are considered to be the most important urban elements for meeting the needs and increasing the quality of life of citizens. With population growth and the expansion of urbanization, developing countries faced an unbalanced distribution of the population. This instability caused citizens to be deprived of urban services and the class gap to increase. Spatial justice, as a main approach in analyzing the distribution of urban services, shows the intersection point of space and social justice and emphasizes the fair distribution of valuable resources and opportunities. The change in population structure and distribution, the development of modern cities, and the increase in the elderly population have made it impossible to meet needs through traditional methods. Optimal use of urban spaces, appropriate distribution of services, and the creation of spatial justice are among the key factors in urban planning; for this reason, creating appropriate conditions for equitable access to urban services will result in better location of urban uses. Sustainable urban planning seeks to provide conditions that enable fair distribution of environmental, social, and economic resources in urban communities. In this regard, spatial justice, as a key tool for achieving justice at the urban level, has become the ultimate goal of many spatial planning policies. Access to urban facilities and services is one of the key issues that affects various aspects of the urban economy. In other words, inappropriate distribution of service uses can lead to waste of time for citizens and create major environmental, economic and social problems. Cities face challenges such as irregular distribution of services and lack of service centers, which lead to unfair distribution of facilities and reduced quality of life. Therefore, planning and distribution of services should be based on spatial and social justice. Accordingly, urban management can reduce spatial inequalities and prevent these problems by conscious action. This article analyzes the impact of spatial justice on the quality of life of citizens and improves access to quality resources and services in different urban areas. It also identifies effective methods for achieving spatial justice with an emphasis on the distribution of urban services and resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methodology &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In this study, in order to comprehensively examine and analyze the quality of spatial justice, the scoping review method has been used, which is used to identify and elaborate on various aspects of this issue by collecting, evaluating, and analyzing sources and previous studies. The scoping review method is a research approach that helps the researcher to first identify research questions and then summarize and combine them through searching, selecting, evaluating, and analyzing existing evidence to achieve precise answers to the questions raised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion and result&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The framework of Arksey and O&#039;Malley (2005) has been used in this study. The reason for choosing this framework is that it has simple instructions. The study of spatial justice, with an emphasis on the distribution pattern of urban services and resources, shows that the inappropriate distribution of urban services is one of the key challenges in achieving social justice and improving the quality of urban life. The findings of the study indicate that the concentration of services in specific urban areas, especially central cores, has created inequality in access to urban resources and services. These inequalities have not only exacerbated social and economic gaps, but have also had negative environmental and physical consequences. The present study showed that planning based on spatial justice and redistributing services based on the real needs of each region can help reduce these inequalities. Among the main suggestions are the decentralization of services, prioritizing underserved areas, and strengthening urban infrastructure. Also, citizen participation in decision-making processes and the use of modern analytical tools are considered key strategies for promoting spatial justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coclusion &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, spatial justice, as a key tool in sustainable urban planning, plays an important role in improving the quality of life of citizens, reducing class gaps, and increasing public satisfaction. Accordingly, the development of comprehensive and operational policies for the equitable distribution of urban services and resources is an undeniable necessity.</Abstract>
			<OtherAbstract Language="FA">عدالت فضایی به‌عنوان یکی از مؤلفه‌های کلیدی در تحقق عدالت اجتماعی و اقتصادی، تأثیر عمیقی بر کیفیت زندگی شهروندان دارد. سازمان‌دهی ناعادلانه خدمات شهری، به‌ویژه در مناطق مختلف یک شهر، می‌تواند موجب نابرابری‌ها و شکاف‌های طبقاتی شود. در بسیاری از شهرها، با گسترش جمعیت و توسعۀ شهری، مشکلاتی متعددی در دسترسی به امکانات شهری به وجود آمده است. این نابرابری‌ها موجب بروز مشکلات زیست‌محیطی، اقتصادی و اجتماعی می‌شود و همچنین به تضعیف انسجام اجتماعی و ایجاد نارضایتی عمومی در میان شهروندان منجر می‌شود. ازاین‌رو، توجه به عدالت فضایی و بهبود سازمان‌دهی خدمات شهری بر اساس نیازهای واقعی هر منطقه، به‌عنوان یک ابزار ضروری در برنامه‌ریزی شهری پایدار مطرح است. در صورتی که این عدالت فضایی رعایت نشود، مشکلات موجود در شهرها می‌تواند به بحران‌های بزرگ‌تری تبدیل شود. هدف مقالۀ حاضر، تبیین شاخص‌های تأثیرگذار بر عدالت فضایی و راهکاری اساسی در سازمان‌دهی خدمات شهری است. روش پژوهش مورد استفاده بر پایۀ روش مرور دامنه‌ای آرکسی و امالی است که در سال 2005 منتشر شد. همچنین در این پژوهش برای پاسخ به سؤالات مطرح‌شده، مطالعات پیشین مربوط به هدف مقاله نیز تحلیل و بررسی شده است. پژوهش حاضر نشان داد که عدالت فضایی تأثیر قابل‌توجهی بر کاهش نابرابری‌های اجتماعی و اقتصادی دارد. سازمان‌دهی ناعادلانۀ خدمات شهری، به‌ویژه در مناطق کم‌برخوردار، موجب تشدید مشکلات زیست‌محیطی، اجتماعی و اقتصادی می‌شود. برای حل این مسائل، ضرورت دارد که برنامه‌ریزی شهری مبتنی بر عدالت فضایی صورت گیرد و خدمات شهری بر اساس نیازهای واقعی مناطق مختلف سازمان‌دهی شود.</OtherAbstract>
