The research questions are follows as: 1. What are the implications of the existing rationality for urban development projects and people living in Iranian cities? 2. What are the proper methods for preparing for implementation of urban development projects in Iran, considering the philosophical basis of thinking in Iranian society? The hypothesis is not focused on the nature of towns and cities, the plans to guide them, or not.

Abstract
In this study, it was sought to achieve a typology related to women's activism in urban spaces of Tehran using a qualitative approach with the phenomenological strategy. Data was collected using in-depth, semi-structured interviews and field observations. Purposive sampling with maximum dispersion was utilized. The sample consisted of 30 women living in Tehran who were interviewed by visiting several crowded points in the north, south, east and west side of Tehran. Data was analyzed using Thematic Analysis. According to the results, women's activism in the spaces of Tehran were classified into economic, social, cultural, sports and leisure activism and dramatic and abnormal activism. Women's activism in each of these areas varied according to their social, economic, and cultural status and capital. Results suggested that the existing structure in urban spaces of Tehran has caused women to be creative and active in some areas, such as leisure activities as well as in relation to the type of clothing and behavior in urban spaces despite the pressures and restrictions. Also women's activism is passive and more in line with the existing structure of some areas like economic domains. However, increasing women's presence in various domains of urban spaces can be the basis for many changes and transformations, which demands structural and cultural changes and changing attitudes towards the status of women, recognition of their capabilities and giving attention to their needs and desires in urban spaces of Tehran, also creating conditions for healthy employment and women's active and creative activism in various spaces of Tehran.

For this purpose, the theory of environmental culture of Georges Tomé and Bourdieu's cultural capital have been applied as the theoretical framework. The statistical population are tourists from the coastal cities of Mazandaran. The sampling method is a multi-stage cluster and the sample size is 400 according to Cochran's formula. The tool for data collection is a researcher-made questionnaire. The method of data analysis is Pearson's correlation coefficient, path analysis and regression analysis using SPSS software. Face validity was used to measure validity and the variable reliability of environmental behaviors was 0.851, which is very high and its items were able to have the necessary internal consistency. The test results show that the average of environmental behavior patterns among people is high and its average is 4.05 out of 5. About 10.3 percent of their environmental behavior is low, 9.7 percent is medium, and about 80 percent is high. There is a significant positive and direct relationship between the amount of urban participation, cultural capital and environmental awareness with environmental behavior. Independent variables explain and predict 35.6 percent of the variance and changes in environmental behavior. The result is that in order to strengthen, promote and develop responsible behaviors towards the environment, it is necessary to raise the level of cultural capital, expand environmental awareness and increase urban participation among tourists.
