Abstract
City is like a living entity, which regenerates constantly by constructing new buildings. With few exceptions, the character of cities have changed over time with the architectural styles fashionable in each period as well as the changing demands for their functionality. Most often, the character is a combination of styles and it is important that this evolution is maintained and the vitality of places can be extended. In fact, city is the result of different historical periods and includes historical loads of various periods; and, contemporary eras are in this process, too. Our constructions will form some parts of the city in future and will cause a layer in this inherited complex, and will make specification and identity of cities and will be an inheritance for posterity. Although preservation is considered as a major step in revitalization of historic sites and buildings, ironically these sites benefit from being extended. In fact opposing construction of new structures on these sites could mean taking away the liveliness of the city and the long term standing of these sites as a historical place. In contrary, expansion and construction of new buildings on these sites maintains the history of the site to the new era and enrich its history. New architectural styles and materials are often introduced into the city initially on the periphery and then in empty plots or as replacements for dilapidated buildings. Sometimes, existing buildings are adapted to the new styles. New architecture in an existing setting will set out to copy, mimic, integrate, harmonize with, contrast, juxtapose on or even compete with the existing context. Each situation may necessitate a different approach. However, construction of these new structures on a historic context is a very delicate task which requires well-planned regulations as these new structures link the contemporary architecture to the values and characteristics of the site. Over the past few centuries a great afford has been carried out, thorough the world and particularity within the central Europe, for design of such regulations and legislations for revitalization and conservation of these sites. This has left a legacy of resolutions, recommendations and charters in this field around the world that are result of experience gained from a variety of approaches in this field in different countries. In order to achieve a design guideline for new constructions in historic context, the purpose of this paper is review of ideas and theories, agreements and charters associated with the presence of new constructions in historic context. In this paper, we will review the theory of theorists that had more impact on the approaches. We will then look at the details of the agreements between the international bodies that directly or indirectly influenced these regulations and had key roles in their design. At the end, we will set a table which will be based on the approach of any of the agreements, and the evolution of this approach is discussed in international scale.

Abstract
Population growth in large cities in under developing countries have been forced the governments that are responsible for the provision of housing units, to seek solutions in the sphere of urban housing are desirable. Extensive experience in various countries, including the United States of America in the
years after World War II, the sample debut experience of this, which in contemporary era have been tested. Ekbatan before the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the seal housing in the eighties and nineties such that each location during the suburbs are. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential of the Urban Distressed Areas and Urban structure important in shaping the city center, in order to provide housing and create a vitality of space in the form of social life, in contrast to the suburban areas. In this paper, a review of the Literature and the International Treaties in the field of Housing and Urban Development Strategy Documents, deals, also present paper studies the past two decades of experience in the field of Mass Housing, analyzes the positive achievements and negative consequences arising from the various policies. Finally, based on the research findings to develop the
advantages of sites within the city, especially urban distressed areas. In the upcoming strategy paper “rational argument” is used as a research strategy. This article is mostly “Descriptive and Analytical” is. In this paper, using the strategy of “Rational Argument” technique “Analyzers of the Content”, “reasonable inference”, and tries to classify content, and thus to develop a coherent way to achieve the target pave. The main issue of this study is to investigate the consequences of inappropriate social, cultural and urban development of the city outskirts, and relying on the “reasoning” description of the research and development projects based on the remaking of old and important housing within the cities logical. The results showed improper factors marginal urban housing development include: 1. Lack of
Participation 2. Households Cultural Exchange 3. The problems of Access to the Towns of Origin 4. The
Cost of Providing Infrastructure 5. The difficulty of Macro Management -6Conflict Patterns of Life 7. Adverse
Environmental Effects 8. Social Insecurity It is also important factors in selected urban distressed areas
and to provide affordable housing include 1. The Recovery of the Initial Nuclear Generating Urban
areas 2. Diversification of Activities in Single Activity Centers 3. Raising the Level of Security 4. The Cost
reduction and enables the Creation of Parallel Supplement 5. Easy of Macro Management 6. Ability
to Develop the Project 7. The Participation of Households’ 8. Growth Economic Value of Historic Areas
10. Control the Inappropriate Development of the City. The results show that the Endogenous versus
Conventional Approach to Residential Development in Historic Cities more appropriate.
1. Introduction
Why Population Growth and the need to Achieve Long-Term Solutions to the provision of housing, is
the main concern for metropolitan policy?
Actions on housing supply in all countries and global macroeconomic management. Measures such
as the UN Conference on residential areas in June 1996 in Istanbul Turkey, issues of human settlements
development and management in the 21st-century look. The projects under the United Nations
Human Settlements Program “UN-HABITAT “The former United Nations Centre for Human Settlements
was called by the defense, setting policy, capacity building, knowledge creation and strengthening
partnerships Governments and civil society to support the sustainable development of human
settlements. It is also responsible for the international community to help improve the lives of at least
hundred million slum dwellers Millennium Development Goal of reducing by half the proportion of
people without access to safe drinking water, permanent 2020 to fulfill. as part of the Declaration
stated, “We have come together to take this opportunity and the global goals of” adequate shelter for
all “and become human settlement safer, healthier, more capability for life, more equitable, sustainable
and effective, we endorse. We have two major themes of the conference, “adequate shelter for all”
this situation analyzed a large number of theories and approaches to urban planning and design with
qualified, small and certain human scales within the scope of local community and the findings make
them far away from their own positive traditions and their appropriate native cultural identification.
A historical survey on global experiences in policy making for neighborhood exceptional pattern
indicate the common problem of destroying self-oriented social relations and a concept of collective
life in such neighborhoods which undeniably cause to destroy the feeling of social cohesion and
continually losing of social capital in neighborhood pattern. Also the existence of high population
which makes congested neighborhoods may lay suitable backgrounds for committing social crimes
and damages which in turn directly influence the perception of the dwellers’ security and safety.
Studies conducted include two different textures of a neighborhood and the research process is
based on recognizing coherence between anti-social behavior and design variables in the pattern of
residential neighborhood.
In summary, the article studies two different textures in the selected neighborhood and compare
them to find the relation between the abnormal behavior and the type and pattern of the residential
places in there.
Conclusion:
Assessment of the neighborhood dwellers about their living places influences the level or extent
of the achieving objectives and success in urban projects. Also by recognizing factors contributing
on inhabitants’ degree of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and understanding available conditions
regarding residence quality, the future approaches have been suggested for promoting the environment
qualitative level and prevention from a repetition of some inappropriate actions in other places.
In the literature, satisfaction from environmental appearance has been considered as a key criterion
for the evaluation of the degree of environmental quality. This is due to the important fact that the
high-quality environment is defined as an environment which brings the high level of satisfaction feelings
to its population through socio-cultural and physical means.

Abstract
Aims: In the protection of places with cultural significance, the identification and assessment procedure is the basic phase and generally the first step. Considering the specific characteristics of Modern and contemporary heritage, a framework for this procedure is necessary. The purpose of this research is to propose a framework based on the activities, documents and research done in this field in the global context.
Methods: This research is based on the descriptive-analytical method with library-study and logical reasoning in the three areas of registration, identification and assessment of modern works.
Findings: In this study, while reviewing the activities and researches, the criteria of the world heritage guidelines effective on the registration of modern heritage, the historical thematic identification frameworks of this heritage and a method for assessment the buildings of the era have been introduced. At the end, based on these cases, a model and framework of the assessment process of modern architectural heritage is proposed. Also, it’s usage has been investigated in a domain of Iranian heritage works.
Conclusion: A framework for the assessment process of the modern architectural heritage provides the possibility of clarifying and facilitating the registration, identification and assessment of these works. Such a framework, taking into account the nature of Modern and contemporary heritage and its commonalities in the global context, has the possibility of being formulated as a general framework. To use in a national or regional context, it is necessary to adapt it considering the historical, cultural and social characteristics of the context.

Abstract
Adding a new structure to the historic district is one of the methods of urban conservation that needs more cautious compared to other methods. In this regard, international organizations have addressed this issue in documents. which until now, has been investigated and analyzed less precisely. So, in this research, for the purpose of design formulations, what they are is followed up. So, by studying the documents, the required data were collected and based on the theme and structure of the design, were summarized in three levels of attitude, approach and method. Then, with the help of comparative comparison and SPSS, the design approaches are described. The collected data show that three design approached have been proposed so far. In the first, presented in the Venice Charter, the Washington Charter, the Charter of the Principles of Review, Conservation and Structural Restoration of Architectural Architecture, the New Zealand Charter and the Bura Charter, historic district as document is preferable. Therefore, it is recommended to not change and homogeny. In the second, presented in the statement of Tlaxcala and San Antonio, historic district is seen as a document and a part of a city. Therefore, it is recommended to manage change and harmony based on traditionalism. In other documents, despite the similar attitude and approach, it has been recommended to harmony with regard to characteristics of district and contemporary expression with compatibility with it.

Abstract
Aims: With the continuous growth of urban population and the development of cities, the demand for energy in the building sector, especially in residential areas, has significantly increased. The configuration and form of buildings, along with their architectural and structural features, have a noticeable impact on the energy consumption of buildings and environmental sustainability. The main objective of this research is to assess the thermal performance of buildings at the scale of the neighborhood unit.
Methods: This research was conducted using quantitative research methods and sensitivity analysis. The data collection methods included gathering information from credible library and online sources, as well as conducting field visits.
Findings: Research findings indicate that courtyard patterns are considered the most efficient, while linear patterns and discontinuous courtyard patterns are regarded as the least efficient residential block patterns in Zanjan. Furthermore, there is a significant correlation between energy consumption and layout and form indicators of the blocks, as well as moderate relationships with block proportions. The most efficient forms are octagonal and square shapes, and patterns with a length-to-width ratio ranging from 1 to 1.6 generally exhibit better energy performance.
Conclusion: studying and identifying efficient and inefficient patterns is important to reduce energy consumption in future design.
