Greenways are networks of some connected linear elements that are designed and programmed for a variety of recreational, cultural, aesthetic, and some other purposes. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to check out the land cover changes around the Azadi Street in past and to predict its future changes. This is done in order for checking the connections of the green spaces around the street, connecting Azadi Street and its surroundings, providing solution for future planning and management, and applying greenway principles. For this purpose, using remote sensing techniques, we extracted land cover maps from satellite pictures of years 1986, 2000, and 2016. We used CA-Markov integrated model to predict future changes-in year 2032. The results demonstrate a decrease of 474 ha of the green spots' area while there is an increase of 658 ha of the built lands during 1986-2016. If the security and management plans on the street area are not going to be changed, this area will transform to a machine-centered space and the limited level of the existing walking-oriented area will disappear soon. The results of this research are effective in reviewing the management approaches of the region so that by providing effective solutions, they can lead the policy makers and planners to follow some of the principles of greenways.
One way to study the human mind, including collective memory, is to determine the effects of the environment on humans. One of the ways to identify these effects on humans to some degree is to study the mental narratives of the inhabitants of a place. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the experiences of the residents over time in relation to their role in changing the environment of the neighborhood. Therefore, this research was conducted using the method of cognitive narratology and oral interviews were used in this context. Fourteen residents of the Amirabad neighborhood were selected who had lived in the neighborhood for at least 20 years and were at least 45 years old. The purpose of the narrative and a significant instrument related to the environmental qualities associated with the collective memory of the residents were determined to explain the narratives of the residents by analyzing the items extracted from them. The analysis of the results shows that residents' narratives provide planners with indicators that planners should ultimately evaluate together with the people themselves. This study shows that in Amirabad neighborhood, the factor of needs has been ignored and regardless of this factor, the memorable elements of people are forgotten due to land use changes due to population growth and the increase of special land uses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
