Urbanization development in Iran has caused increasing critical problems, with the result that there is a need to review urban planning in this country. This article aims to explore the impact of biophilic planning on liveability, with special focus on the role of nature as part of society. The study was done in Hashtgerd, an Iranian new town, where an environmental analysis showed that this town can be developed on the West, North and North-West, due to the natural potential of the area.Based on the literature review and content analysis (selective coding), components of biophilic planning and liveability of new towns have been identified and used to test the opinions of 382 residents in Hashtgerd on biophilic planning and liveability of a new town in Iran. The data from the questionnaire were collected and processed, using SPSS software. The final dependent and independent variables were identified and analysed. Correlation coefficients in the regression analysis were used to analyse the effects on each other between the identified dependent and independent variables.According to the results and findings, urban management (a component of biophilic planning) has the biggest effect in achieving liveable cities. The outcome of the study is crucial for construction and urban planning team members, clients and environmentalists. Another reason, that is particularly relevant to developing countries, is the natural potential and related industries to create beneficial social and economic impacts. Keywords: Biophilic planning, liveability, new town, Iran "BIOPHILIC" BEPLANNING, 'N NUWE BENADERING IN DIE BEREIKING VAN BEWOONBARE STEDE IN NUWE DORPE VAN IRAN -HASHTGERD GEVALLESTUDIEDie ontwikkeling van verstedeliking in Iran het groeiende kritieke probleme veroorsaak en dit het nodig geword om 'n oorsig oor stadsbeplanning in hierdie land te kry. Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die impak van "biophilic" beplanning op leefbaarheid, met spesiale fokus op die rol van die natuur as deel van die samelewing, te verken. Die studie is gedoen in Hashtgerd, 'n Iraanse nuwe dorp omdat omgewingsanalises getoon het dat hierdie dorp in die Weste, Noorde en Noordweste ontwikkel kan word as gevolg van sy natuurlike vermoëns.Gebaseer op die literatuurstudie en inhoudsontleding (selektiewe kodering) is komponente van "biophilic" beplanning en leefbaarheid van nuwe dorpe geïdentifiseer en gebruik om die opinies van 382 inwoners in Hasthgerd oor "biophilic" beplanning en leefbaarheid van 'n nuwe dorp in Iran te toets. Nadat die data verkry uit die vraelyste versamel en verwerk is deur middel van SPSS sagteware, is die finale afhanklike en onafhanklike veranderlikes geïdentifiseer en ontleed. Korrelasiekoeffisiënte in die regressie-analise is gebruik om die uitwerking op mekaar tussen die geïdentifiseerde afhanklike en onafhanklike veranderlikes te ontleed.Volgens die resultate en bevindinge, het stedelike bestuur (komponent van "biophilic" beplanning) die grootste effek om 'n bewoonbare stad te verwerklik.

Introduction:The emergence of form-based codes (FBCs), along with the regular and near-universal rejection of conventional zoning, is a complex story and more interesting than might first be supposed. The Codes Study generally does not track developer-driven form-based codes. The socio-economic context of form-based codes has shown positive FBC impacts on physical and environmental wellbeing. Form-based codes try to notify morphological features to keep the identity of urban fabrics along the ages. This mission is essential, especially for valuable fabrics of contemporary cities. Nowadays, these fabrics are causing damage to lose their identity, more than every other time. The problem is to find the method of getting morphological patterns that are integrated and the whole of the city. However, they changed to an inappropriate thing. Therefore, infill and renovation development in historical fabrics need to follow the principles according to form features and place against solid and unimaginable codes. Methodologies: This article aims to design the genealogical method to cover the problem of deriving the urban patterns and typo-morphologies to a systematic and categorized style in form-based codes logic. The structure of this research has been made in three levels. First, it has provided a genealogical map from historical fabric based on Ghajar era's maps before modernistic actions and surgery the city fabric. Then surveying the patterns at architectural units using typo-morphological relation between built spaces and open space. At last, it has taken the access link pattern for open spaces at the hierarchy of centers and squares. Result: The outcome of this essay is to concentrate on the study of form bares two practical tools. First, a typo-morphological matrix shows the relationship between mass and space for each parcel with its pass. For illustrating the relation of mass and space, it is used two species of matrices are. It is seen in matric type one patterns of mass and space and matrix type two hierarchical accessibility between mass and space. Second, a graph of structural relations presents the distribution of nodes and squares in contrast to dynamic passes and roots. In addition to presenting the schematic position of nodes, it guides the logic of the relations that these nodes have with other nodes' lower or upper levels. Conclusion: Eventually, urban morphs decompose and autopsy in different dimensions and scales with categorizing analytical data that come from the genealogical study about typologies of urban form and lead to deriving form-based codes and principles based on features of features place identity. The Codes Study also tracks major initiatives and guidelines that may assist in the formulation of form-based codes.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effective environmental factors of hospital rooms in patients’ recovery through data mining techniques. Background: Previous studies have shown the positive effect of the interior environment of the hospitals on patients’ recovery. The methods of these studies were mainly based on the evidence and patients’ perception while hospital environments are associated with a large amount of data that make them an appropriate case for data mining studies. But data mining studies in hospitals mainly focused on medical and management purposes rather than evaluating the interior environment condition. Methods: We analyzed the hospital information system data of a hospital using Python programming language and some of its libraries. Preprocessing and eliminating the outliers, labeling and clustering of diseases, data visualization and analysis, final evaluation, and concluding were done using the knowledge discovery in databases process. Results: Pearson coefficient value for rooms’ area was .5 and, respectively, for the distance from the ward entrance and nursing station were .75 and .70. The χ2 values for the variables of room types, location, and occupation were 24.62, 18.98, and 21.53, respectively, and for the beds’ location was 0.12. Conclusions: The results confirmed the correlation of the length of stay with the room types, location, and occupation, distance from the nursing station and ward entrance and also showed a moderate correlation with the rooms’ area. However, no evidence was found about the relationship between the beds’ location in rooms and patients’ length of hospital stay.
