Background and PurposeIn recent centuries, the rapid growth of urbanization in developing countries, along with an objective approach to development, has added to the objective and mental disorders of third world cities. The present study aims at the comparative analysis of quality of life indicators based on urban social justice, a case study of the neighborhoods of Zeitoun Karmanani and Koi Yousefi (Fatimieh) city of Ahvaz has been completed.Research MethodologyAccording to the nature of the subject and the goals for which this research is planned, this research is descriptive-analytical and belongs to the category of applied research. The statistical population is 49719 people living in Zaytoun neighborhoods, Karmaniyu Koi, Fatemiyah in 2015. Random sampling so that the sample size is taken from both neighborhoods. In order to select the sample size, Cochran's formula was used, according to which the sample size was 380 people. T-test and Pearson correlation were used for analysis.Discussion and resultsThe findings show that in Koi Fatemiye neighborhood, the average physical-physical index is 2.63 and for Zaytun Karmanani is 3.78. In the economic dimension, the average of Koi Fatemiyeh neighborhood is 3.68 and Zaytun Karmanani is 3.79.ConclusionThe results indicate that the main attention in the way of distributing the development resources, and considering the justice in the benefit, and the lack of attention and investment in a specific place, which shows that all These indicators, if properly paid attention to, can be effective in the process of sustainable development of the studied neighborhoods and the overall development of the city's sustainability

More than half of the world lives in urban areas. In many developing countries, many people migrate to urban centers every day, and the rate of urbanization is increasing in both developed and developing countries. Due to the growth of population and urbanization, the strategy of high-rise building has become popular nowadays. With the increasing use of high-rise buildings nowadays due to problems such as lack of housing, the optimal use of these buildings can be a solution to meet the social, economic and other needs of today's societies. On the other hand, social changes in both macro (neighborhood) and micro (house) scales show a decrease in the feeling of satisfaction in the apartment house. The purpose of the current research is to review the comparative patterns of high-rise construction and villa houses and a case study of Amir-kabir and Mohajeran settlement in Arak city. Examining various studies shows that the choice of each of the models of residential structures has advantages and disadvantages. Residential towers with security and comfort, public spaces and access, management and control, most importantly, proximity to important uses and access to public transportation, are considered among the important and lively residential spaces of the city, and unlike traditional housing, they can have a wide range To attract social groups including children, adults and the elderly. Meanwhile, the apartment house has reduced satisfaction due to the loss of the quality of the semi-public arena. Therefore, presenting creative patterns and designs and checking the status of various indicators at the medium and small scale can be a suitable solution in comparative analysis.

Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a growing concern in metropolitan areas, leading to temperature differences between urban centers and surrounding areas due to various ecological, morphological, topographical, and demographic factors. Major Iranian cities have undergone rapid land-use transformations and expanding urbanization, facing the challenge of UHIs. This study investigates UHIs in Tabriz, focusing on District 1, Neighborhood 1 as the first area and District 6, Neighborhood 4 as the second area. The study employed Landsat 8 remote sensing images to analyze UHIs in Tabriz, Iran. The images were acquired for the summer season, representing the period of maximum UHI intensity. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was calculated to assess vegetation cover, while land surface temperature (LST) was derived using the single-channel algorithm. Morphological indicators were extracted from OpenStreetMap data. The study aims to extract, locate, and analyze UHIs in the study area using specific formulas and prepare relevant maps, focusing on ecological and morphological indicators. The minimum and maximum temperatures in District 1 were 15.88°C and 37.65°C, respectively, while in District 6, they were 24.11°C and 40.87°C. Analyzing the extracted maps based on the selected ecological indicators (vegetation cover, wind, solar radiation, and elevation) and morphological indicators (building height, building density, building façade, and building roofs) in both districts, we concluded that District 1 is cooler due to several factors: higher elevation, better reception of prevailing northeastern winds, more suitable street orientations, lower building heights (mostly one-story), and a higher prevalence of reflective roofs compared to District 6. Although District 6 has better vegetation cover and lower building density.
