J. Civil Eng. Urban. 4(4): 390-396. 2014 ABSTRACT: Current study has analyzed the trend of population establishment in residential centers of Tehran metropolitan area between 1986-2011 in relation to the role of formal management and planning system of the country. Hence, the trend of spatial establishment of population in the region has been considered through population absorption pattern of urban and rural settlements of the region and new towns position. The research method is descriptive-analytical. Results show that the structure of management and planning of Tehran metropolitan area in the organization of region’s population establishment hasn’t solidarity and coordination. Population settlement plans in Tehran metropolitan area which has been implemented in the framework of new towns plan has acted in an abstract space without paying attention to policy making and integrated planning for development of other physical elements such as industrial activity centers, communication network and public services and utilities of metropolitan area has acted. This matter has caused that regardless of considerable capacity making in planned new towns, these centers don’t play important role in organization of population establishment in the region. Absorption of population out of new towns’ land has been more than these planned centers. This matter has resulted in irregular development of urban settlements network of Tehran metropolitan area and emergence of environmental problems in the region.

Revising Iranian Experience in Establishing Pedestrian Zones; Surveying Strengths and Weaknesses of Pedestrian Zones in Tehran Original Article, D25 Fallah Manshadi E., Rouhi A. and Khodaverdi Nelkhasi Om-S. Journal. Civil Eng. Urban. 4(2): 156-163. 2014 ABSTRACT: Though the experience of pedestrian establishing in the world backs to 70 years ago, this is a new approach in Iran. In recent years, establishing pedestrian zone is getting more popular due to paradigm shift in urban governance from motorized to human based development. Pedestrian zones like 17 Shahrivar (Shohada), 15 khordad, Sepah-Salar, Soore-Esrafil, Babe-Homayoon, Naser Khosro, Marvi, Saboonian, Ehsani, Shah-Abdol- Azim, and Baradarane- Mozaffar are the results of such paradagim shift. Present paper tries to evaluate these pedestrian zones in order to determine the strengths and weeknesses of each one. Direct observations and interviews were used as research tools. The results of evaluation and comparative comparison show that from 11 pedestrian zones in Tehran, Sepahsalar, 15 khordad and Shah-Abol-Azim have the best conditions while Baradarane Mozafar and 17 Shahrivar have inappropriate situation. Although pedestrian zones in Tehran are almost in appropriate level from pedestrian facilities point of view like pavement and lightening; some factors such as lack of mixed land use, motorcycles and cars penetrating the pedestrian zones, lack of public toilets and disabled facilities, ignorance of public participation have negative effects on citizen satisfaction.
