Abstract
The request for natural gas attention to its adaption with environment and less pollution than the other fossil fuels has the highest growth in last decades. In result this energy has high geopolitical importance. Iran with has about 2.18 percent of total world reserves، the largest in the world. But couldn''t played important role in the natural gas geopolitics and even it hasn''t in between 10 exporter countries of natural gas، because gas consumption in Iran as much as is irregular that increase of natural gas production measure. Iran with 2.162 billion cubic of natural gas consumption is third-largest the gas consumer in the world. Thus need of reforming the consumption pattern is obligatory. Major question of this article is: can reforming of the consumption pattern، enhance the rank of Iran in natural gas geopolitics? The result of research indicate that the reforming of consumption pattern of the natural gas besides prevent of gas irregular consumption also economic development، state security and power increase، prevent of gas import، gain of global gas markets and more important of the whole enhance the rank of Iran in natural gas geopolitics

Abstract
Aims: Urban development plans try to restore dynamism and vitality to urban contexts, but the lack of existing structure and modeling of previous plans has made the definition of sustainable urban form a challenge for urban planners. The purpose of this article was to explain the coherent form of Shiraz based on the concept of connectivity.
Methodology: This descriptive-analytical research was conducted by documentary and field method in 2021. This study was conducted in Shiraz and the sample size was urban and street blocks and functional zones of 11 districts of this city.
Findings: The interconnected centers of the city geometrically and functionally affect each other as long as all the effects occur between the centers in a single area. Therefore, before applying changes in the physical form of each area of Shiraz, its consequences should be considered in the affected area. These consequences are due to the position of the position in relation to the priority of influencing the influence of the boundary number of each block, influence in complex network centers and interconnected centers, irregular structure, control and promotion of construction, population and the extent of various economic and social indicators, culturally, and physically examined.
Conclusion: In the process of urban planning, changes in each region should not be considered as an independent region and the pattern of interoperability in urban development planning and management should be considered for regular organization and their effects in order to achieve Use coherence in form.

Abstract
Aims: Taking strategy of urban branding is considered the basic need of cities to survive in the global economy. For this purpose, building and managing the city image is necessary because it is through perception and image that actions are formed. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between effective components on the image in the form of a case study including 15 shopping centers in Tabriz.
Methodology: The current research was conducted with the field method and exploratory analysis type in 1401 in the statistical population of Tabriz citizens. By conducting documentary studies in the field of urban branding, the constructive components were identified and formulated in the form of a five-factor model. The relationship between variables was tested using structural equation modeling with partial least squares and data were analyzed using SmartPLS3 software.
Findings: At a significance level of 0.01, "perceptual quality" and "awareness" have a direct effect on the "mental image" and at level of 0.05, "personal characteristics" have a direct effect on the "mental image". At level of 0.01, "mental image" has a direct effect on "loyalty". 73.8% of the total effect of "perceptual quality" variable, 43.3% of "personal characteristics", 32.1% of "awareness" on "loyalty" is explained through the mediating variable of "mental image".
Conclusion: "Mental image" as the center of gravity in urban branding is directly influenced by three components; "perceptual quality", "personal characteristics" and "awareness". Among these "perceptual quality" is considered the most influential component. "Loyalty" as the final goal of branding is not directly related to aforementioned components and influencing it is possible through the mediation of "mental image". Therefore, the application of design measures in order to improve "perceptual quality" causes the formation of a powerful "mental image" of shopping spaces, which in turn leads to "loyalty" and provides the grounds for branding of such spaces.

Abstract
Aims: Right to city is a concept, which seeks to involve and allocate the city to urban residents. This research investigates the validation of the right to the city through evaluating the indicators of the right to the city.
Methodology: This was a descriptive-analytical survey and the statistical population of the research included all citizens older-than-15-year-old in Ahwaz County in 2021. 375 people were sampled according to the Cochran's formula as a cluster from all the urban areas of Ahwaz. One-sample T-test and spatial statistics methods were used in geographical information system to analyze the results.
Findings: The right to the city was not validated in eight districts of Ahwaz metropolis. However, the investigations indicated that regions 2 and 8 had better status than other regions. In addition, using the general Moran's statistic, it was concluded that the data are spatially self-correlated and their distribution pattern is in cluster form, except for the decision-making index, which follows a random pattern.
Conclusion: The degree of validation of the right to the city is lower than the standard and desirable level, and the degree of enjoyment of the right to the city in Ahwaz metropolis is unbalanced.

Abstract
Aims: The Healthy City approach examines the quality of life of individuals within a society by considering various factors such as the environment, community health, individual and social living conditions, and social welfare. In this descriptive-analytical study, the environmental situation of Tehran was assessed and compared in order to identify the indicators of a healthy city.
Methodology: For this study, the statistical population consisted of Asian cities and 22 districts within Tehran. The data on each indicator was collected separately from various library sources and organizational references. Initially, the proximity of Tehran to the indicators of a healthy city was determined and prioritized by employing the fuzzy network analysis model and the Vicor ranking model. This allowed for a comparison of Tehran's position with that of other selected Asian cities. Then, by referring to the specific weights of the indicators and Vicor model, the ranking of each of the 22 districts of Tehran was done, in order to determine the importance of each of them in the current situation of Tehran.
Findings: The obtained results indicate that Tehran ranks sixth among the selected Asian cities, but it has a lower rank in all the examined criteria than the average values obtained. Among the regions of Tehran, this survey also showed that regions 22, 18 and 6 are in the best condition and regions 9, 10 and 12 are in the worst condition.
Conclusion: These results show that Tehran has taken steps towards achieving the indicators of a healthy city, but due to various reasons, it has not been able to achieve these indicators in 22 regions with tasteful management. The proposed strategy is an adaptive approach and improving governance capacity.

Abstract
Aims: The concept of the right to the city necessitates that the denizens of every urban center regard the city as their own and actively engage in its affairs. By considering the indices related to the right to the city and examining the indices pertaining to the desirability of urban spaces, this study seeks to investigate the influence of the urban space desirability indices on the realization of the right to the city.
Methodology: The research methodology employed in this study is both applied and descriptive-analytical, with a survey-based nature. The statistical population consisted of individuals over the age of 15 residing in Ahvaz city, with a sample size of 375 people determined using Cochran's formula. To analyze the impact of urban space desirability on the realization of the right to the city, Smart PLS software was utilized.
Findings: The results of the structural equations model reveal the importance of the impact of the variables on one another. The t values derived from the research components exhibit a significantly large value exceeding 1.96, which signifies significance at the 0.01 level. The path coefficients of the components surpass 70%, indicating a strong correlation between the components.
Conclusion: There is a positive and significant relationship between the urban space desirability indices and the degree of realization of the right to the city in Ahvaz city. Among the urban space desirability indices, the index of comfort and tranquility has the highest coefficient of influence among other indicators and among the indices of the right to the city, the index of physical share and the index of control and ownership had the highest coefficients of influence.
