Description
Summary:The industrialization of societies has disrupted the natural order of cities, leading to a noticeable decline in the interaction and participation between people and nature. To establish the relationship between humans and nature, landscape science can be employed. The Dez of Dezful River and the Zarrineh-Rud River in Miyandoab, both of which traverse the central areas of their respective cities, play a crucial role in shaping the urban landscape. These rivers are valuable resources for enhancing environmental quality in terms of aesthetics, ecology, recreation, and urban planning, yet they have unfortunately not been properly designed in the studied area. Greenways can be considered as an appropriate option for riverbanks due to their linear nature. Considering the significance of the Dez and Zarrineh rivers within the city and the role they play in environmental vitality, this research examines the possibility of creating a greenway along these rivers, considering river floods and environmental concerns. The current research is applied in nature, combining library and analytical methods, with the aim of studying the stability of river ecosystems along their margins. This article focuses on investigating the issues concerning the banks of the permanent rivers of the country, which sometimes flow into urban areas. Many of these riverbanks are currently in a disordered state, overgrown with barren plants and usually used as dumping ground for waste. Their natural landscape has also deteriorated, contributing to visual pollution within cities. By designing and developing tourism spaces for human life, recreation, leisure, and sustainable development, it is possible to revitalize the banks of these permanent rivers near cities. Such development, aligned with sustainable practices along water courses, not only enhances the urban landscape but also creates inviting environment for leisure activities, boosting public morale through psychological and spiritual benefits of water.
