This research is one of the first research in this area (urban tourism) that places urban space as the subject and destination of domestic tourists. This is interpretive research and has used Grounded Theory. Participants of the study included 30 domestic tourists visiting Isfahan urban spaces. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview method. Then they were analyzed based on the structural analysis of the Grounded Theory and according to open, axial and selective coding. The central issue is the mental image of domestic tourists from the urban spaces of Isfahan which is presented in two dimensions of cognitive and emotional with regard to the causative, contextual, and interventionist conditions, strategies, and consequences, the final model was presen...

These sites, which once had a proper use, are now unable to play their role due to various reasons and, in most cases, are therefore abandoned. These properties are not only unable to meet the needs and expectations of citizens and authorities, but they also reduce the vitality of the urban environment. The redevelopment of brownfield sites in order to utilise existing structures and resources has been the subject of interest for many specialists and professionals. Many studies have been conducted to identify the challenges of brownfield redevelopment from different perspectives such as the environmental sciences, urban planning and design and so on. However, a lack of design-led products is obvious due to the extent of concepts in this field of study. This paper addresses the problem of brownfield sites in Tehran, Iran, and defines the historical process that has created them....

Permanent Changes in the physical properties and residents’ constant contact with the never-ending cycle of construction is particularly important in assessing the quality of the residential environment by them. On the other hand, understanding how physical changes lead to interruption, or vice versa residents’ effective link with the environment, to assess the quality of the residential environment is essential. However, controlling the type and speed of physical changes in resident’s satisfaction have not been enough attention from policymakers in urban neighborhoods. Similarities and differences between the effective indices of residents’ affective appraisal in terms of satisfaction scale pace of physical changes, is the main question of this research. The aim of this research is achieving a theoretical framework for understanding the adaptation process and residents’ satisfaction with physical changes at different magnitude at re...
