Rationale
- Why do you think this case is relevant? What is your hypothesis considering the landscape challenges?
- Format: 3-4 sentences
Location and scope
You can edit this map with the map editor
A Landscape System Analysis
A.1 Landscape layers and their system context
Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology
In Nur the Green & Blue are besides. Nur County by having beautiful parts of Caspian sea is one of the most important tourism regions in Iran and the touristic development of this city has been considered in the plannings of the government. Our hypothesis: Potential to be one of the largest coland tourism poles of Iran
The Nur beach is located on the north of Tehran, in the Mazandaran province, phasing parts of the Caspian sea and is beside of Nowshahr, Amol and Mahmudabad provinces
Land use
As it has been shown on this map, the main land uses are divided into four main region of Nur Forest, Residential, Agricultural and also the commercial line on the north of the city. Also the important places have been shown on the map.
Development Process,On this diagram has been shown that how the agricultural land sue decreased over the years and instead commercial and residential land uses increased (There is low accessibility to data from 1986 until now via internet network).

Green/blue infrastructure
There are three main Green and Blue Infrastructure in Nur which are compared based on their influences, in the following table.

Actors and stakeholders
It can be said a big part of the changes in this region is caused by new constructions.Here are the explanations about some of the named groups in the following Power Map:_Private Investors: Those who invest but do not leave in Nur_Local Investors: Those who invest and leave in Nur._Seasonal Residents: Those who have a house in Nur, but they leave in other cities in most of the seasons_Tourists: Those who do not have a house in Nur and come to visit this city.
Sacred spaces and heritage
Nur forest park is the biggest natural park in midlist by 3600 ha. It holds a symbolic meaning in the area because of its location and Monumental trees.
Nur forest park is located near the sea; hence arrangement of sea and forest or green and blue infrastructure together, brings a symbolic identity and sense of place there.In addition to this, there are monumental trees like Velvet maple and Chestnut-leaved oak.

Visual appearance and landscape narrative
A huge rock due to the erosion,shaped like an elephant.There is a religious myth among the local people implying that, this rocky elephant is a miracle!

A.2 Summary of you landscape system analysis and your development Targets
explain your analysis briefly in the caption
If the current situation goes on, more and more agricultural lands will be changed to commercial and residential buildings and based on low functional management, results such as air pollution, water pollution, low diversity and decrease of health of the society would occur.BUT by having a multi aspect planning and a functional management system, considering precious natural resources and future generation, Nur can become one of the great tourism poles of Iran.
A.3 Theory reflection
- Reflect on at least three international policy documents in relation to their local landscape case
- choose one international, one European and one national document
- You can choose references from our reading list
- Scope: 250 words
A.4 References
- give a full list of the references you have used for this section
Phase B: Landscape Evaluation and Assessment
B.1 Assessment Strategy
- Based on the hypothesis derived from your previous landscape systems analysis you are now asked to define the goals for assessing the landscape. Your assessment is the basis for evaluating the landscape status.
- Which elements and phenomena need to be mapped, why and how?
- This a text contribution, max 250 words
B.2 Mapping
With the purpose of more detailed theme maps, the plan of Nur Beach has been divided into four portions.
In the following map, by the density of the yellow duts, the quality of the current lightning has been shown. Although in front of the residential constructions there are lightnings, but there are lots of places beside of the sea without proper light during the night.
As it gets closer to the east part of Nur County, the number of the planned and designed areas with propet lightning on the edges, increase.
There are many street connections, in different widens which connect the main east-west street to the beach, although most of these streets are not equipped by proper pedestrian paths.
The end of most networks connections-between the free space of the street and the beach- have been used by people as parking areas.
On these maps the current green areas have been shown. Also the water surface as an area with potential has been colored. There are also lots of green areas in the private territories which are usually surrounded by the territory walls.
Perhaps it could be said the function of being a green space, have been defined for many of these areas, but not all of them have been designed, which as a result some of them -specially the unbounded areas- can be considered as risks of having low maintenance and low safety.
B.3 Problem definition and priority setting
- In this level, three different layers of each portion have been overlapped. Therefore it can be seen the places which have lacks and problems (in the three themes of Lightning, Accessibility and Greenery). The places which have the boldest potentials, demonstrated by having multiple layers on them.
In fact those areas with higher number of ‘green lines’, have the highest potential and areas higher number of ‘red lines’, have the highest risk.
The lack of proper lightning can result the risk of lack of safety and also low quality of the space, which such situation is happening between of some of the residential areas. Also having the parking lots in the open spaces between the end of the streets can reduce the quality of the open space as well.
Locating main poles in Nur Beach, finding comprehensive solutions to supply the lacks, strength the potentials such as designing and make a proper plan for abounded green area, defining parking areas based on the location of the poles and streets connections, providing bicycle and pedestrian access to Nur Beach and , providing proper lightning are our major priorities.
