The urban development strategy is a new initiative that is being implemented in many cities throughout the world, including several in Iran, to enhance the quality of life, combat poverty, promote sustainable development, and foster effective urban management with a participatory approach.This study aims to investigate and compare how residents and municipal administrators perceive various aspects of the urban development plan. This study is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population includes the managers and employees of urban management and citizens at Yasouj city. The research sample size was calculated using Cochran's method to be 384 participants for citizens and 30 people for managers. The research was analyzed using one-sample t-tests, independent t-tests, one-way analyses of variance (ANOVA), and multivariate linear regression.The study's findings indicate that while municipal administrators are largely satisfied with these dimensions' current status, residents believe that these elements of the urban development plan are not in satisfactory condition. The descriptive statistics and the t-test demonstrated that the mean of the overall dimensions of an urban development plan is 1.88 from the perspective of people and 2.98 from the perspective of urban administrators. The degree of satisfaction with the research's dimensions varies significantly between the two groups as well. According to the findings of the linear regression, the dimensions of bankability and the ability to live comfortably have the maximum and minimum significance from the perspective of the people with a coefficient of 0.413 and 0.167, respectively. However, from the perspective of city managers, the livability and good governance dimensions, with coefficients of 0.373 and 0.112, are the most and least significant. Finally, the findings of the present study may help urban managers make better decisions and deliver services that are more in line with the needs of the community.

Using urban growth and development modeling, it is possible to draw a development trend appropriate to the city's position according to environmental and natural factors and population attraction. The purpose of this study is to represent a model of urban development in Shushtar that can be used as a felicitous tool to analyze the complex processes of urban development. To achieve this goal, two databases consist of urban land use maps for educational, medical, habitation, etc and Landsat satellite images for major land uses such as rivers, barren areas, forests, etc were used by GIS and MATLAB software environment in three time periods 1991, 2004 and 2014. Existing urban land use maps were updated by using Landsat satellite imagery after digitization. Then the effective parameters in urban development were entered as inputs with the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference algorithm (ANFIS). in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, training for 1991 and 2004 was performed. the result of urban development forecasting using the algorithm was compared with the current situation in 2014. The results are very close to reality and with an accuracy of 93.7%. The land use change map, which is the result of the change detection process, can be prepared based on multi-time remote sensing images and combined with urban user maps, and the relevant consequences examined. The use of intelligent algorithms in this research has allowed us to execute modeling with high accuracy. The results are satisfactory and this development was predicted for the coming years.

In the age of knowledge, the rapid development of information and communication technology is considered as the main element to respond to the increasing urban environmental and socio-economic crises. Therefore, knowledge-based cities are cities that use technology and innovation to improve the quality of life of citizens and the efficiency of services aimed at sustainable urban development. Based on this, the current research was compiled with the aim of the impact of ICT use and capability on knowledge-based urban development. The research method is applied in terms of nature, in terms of the type of descriptive-analytical research (Structural Equation Modeling) and in terms of the type of post-event strategy. The method of data collection was library and field. The statistical population includes the experts of the Deputy of Urban Planning in 22 districts of Tehran Municipality, and the sample size was determined by targeted sampling of 220 people. Structural equation method and partial least squares approach and SmartPLS3 software were used to analyze the research data. The results indicated that the average variables of application and capability of information and communication technology and knowledge-based urban development of Tehran, along with all its components based on a 5-level spectrum, are in the range of 2.51 to 3.5, i.e., semi-stable. Also, the effect of the application and capability of information and communication technology on knowledge-based urban development has a significant coefficient greater than 1.96, and the path for the main research model is confirmed; Therefore, taking advantage of the application and ability to invest in the research and development of information and communication technology sectors can be a solution to remove the limitations of knowledge-based urban development in the metropolis of Tehran.
