We were driven to found the IJAPAS by a noticeable lack of journals, in the Islamic Republic of Iran in particular, devoted to architecture, urban design, urban planning, architectural conservation and restoration, painting, art history, graphic, digital arts, fashion design, performing art, industrial design, aesthetics and semantics. Although the academic world is increasingly driven by cross-disciplinary visions and models, we seek multi-disciplinary views, an attempt to inform researchers, graduate students, and professionals about the trends, ideas and innovations being put forward in applied arts. To this end, in addition to standard articles, in every volume of the IJAPAS we hope to provide a special issue related to a respective field with innovation. We are also sending out a call for papers related to Applied Arts to appear in the next issue of IJAPAS in Nov – Dec 2017. The deadline for submissions for this issue is Oct 31, 2017. Finally, I should mention that we are committed to a speedy refereeing process for every article submitted to us. We effort to reply to all papers submitted within five weeks’ time with a response about acceptance or rejection. We also do not require formatting for submissions in our style until after the paper has been accepted by us for publication. I would like to thank our Editorial Board for their work so far in helping to establish the IJAPAS. And, finally, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ali Boloor, the assistant editor of the IJAPAS, for all of his hard work to ensure the timely completion of the first volume. I am delighted to invite you to visit us at www.ijapas.org.

Despite their positive characteristics, those districts suffer from physical problems (e.g., urban distressed fabrics), environmental issues, poor infrastructures, etc. Ahvaz is one of those cities with these characteristics whose urban fabric is distressed and needs strategic plans and executions. The aim is to direct the central district of Ahvaz towards sustainability with strategies and plans based on the sustainable development approach and using systematic vision models. Thus, the issue of regeneration of distressed areas is very significant in this regard. The research used the random sampling method to select the participants. The research analysis was conducted using Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat, Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix, Oregon Model and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) model approaches. The study is an applied, descriptive-correlational research. The data were collected via the library research and field study techniques. After analyzing and investigating the data comprehensively, the research offered executive strategies for the success of sustainable development of the study area. The most important strategies obtained from the analysis are constructing green spaces such as green belts in the riverbank of the Karun River, improving the state of paths leading to historical monuments to the tourists’ access, and beautifying walls of buildings near the riverbank.

Introduction Nowadays the phenomenon of distressed urban areas is considered as a factor for preventing the realization of modern methods of urban management and development. One of the most important consequences of urbanization along with the failure in creating appropriate urban infrastructures for urban residents and migrants is emerging disordered and urban worn-out fabrics around and within cities which result in different social, cultural, economic, and environmental challenges (Teimuri et al. 2010: 2). Presenting urban sustainable development as the main motto of the third millennium is resulted from effects of cities on the planet and different dimensions of human life. Therefore, with regard to the intrinsic complexity of cities and their different scales of influence, identifying main and key factors of accessing urban sustainability seems necessary (Hosseinzadeh
