Abstract
This study aimed at evaluating the conformity of Isfahan urban development plans with the comprehensive model of human Islamic needs. This study, in terms of objective, is practical and, in terms of methodology, it is a descriptive-analytical research. The most important data collecting tool used in this study is the bibliographic method. The results showed that the processes of preparing, testing and approving the urban development plans in Isfahan are largely incompatible with the comprehensive model from all three dimensions of the content, structure, and process. Regarding the content, they are based on the Western one-dimensional anthropology, which needs to be revised and supplemented. In terms of the structure, they neglect the levels of priority and the relevance between human needs. Therefore, there should always be a preference of allocation of land and per capita in accordance with changing nature of the city, and the needs and content principles of the Islamic-Iranian city should be prioritized based on the requirements in appropriate and inappropriate times. In terms of process, they are implemented in a linear mode and in three stages of identification, analysis, and presenting proposals, which causes lack of dynamism, irreversibility and the stiffness and ultimately the failure to fully realize them or disregard them and make decisions for gaining interests regardless them. Making corrections in these three parts of urban planning, its compatibility with the foundations of Islamic vision can be attainable

Abstract
This study investigated the role of different indexes in open spaces of residential buildings in Tabriz, Iran. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the indexes with a higher level of effectiveness. Using a quantitative method, both descriptive and analytical data were entered into SPSS, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was done using Smart PLS software. The case study included open spaces in Tabriz. The sample included 380 inhabitants of Tabriz residential buildings. The indexes were divided into two groups of central indexes and dispersion indexes. The important factor in central indexes was average; meanwhile, variance and standard deviation were the determinative factors in the peripheral indexes. Cultural anthropology of buildings’ open spaces showed that FA in emotional indexes and culture of open spaces grading had the highest level. Perceptional indexes were in the medium level, and physical indexes had the lowest level. Finally, the common classification of indexes included inspirations, memories, dreams, feelings, failure, thrill, ownership, sense of power, safety and security, and disappointment. A special attention should be paid to different dimensions such as cultural anthropology and issues related to human beings in public spaces, which cannot be solved with a single approach. Further studies are required to confirm the findings of this study in other cities and different cultural and societal levels and contexts.
