Abstract
A cities main structure is equal to its basement and makes it unique and different. Theoretical framework of studying urban structure is concentrated on the theory of urban morphology. Urban morphology is a systematic consideration of frame, shape, map, structure and functions of urban built texture and its origin and style of development, in pass of time. The theory of planning based on analyzing traditional cities, to obtain manufacturing process according to buildings and open areas classification, form their primary position to present changes, is call "space syntax". According to this fact that, a city reflects cultural developments, a cities' active history is considered based on what is built. The method of urban textures withdraw contains streets and blocks, and is the main tool of it. This method is a combination of German and Italian morphology classes, and is considered as an interior/ recognition approach. The main structure is an approach with holistic view to urban texture and takes its generality. This approach completes studies of urban texture and clears relationship between parts and their role in forming a whole. In this article, we propose to combine the study of urban structure development, with the theory of main structure, to obtain a holistic process. The outcome process can be used, in a part of city that has most of identities and characters of whole city through studying this part of city. We can obtain a general recognition of whole structural characters, of the cities.

Abstract
| The evidence shows that Tehran as the capital and the most populous city of Iran is exposed to consequences of climate changes but proper measures are not taken to deal with such consequences. Considering the increasing threats and consequences of the climate changes, adaptation is among the most important issues in urban management. This study firstly identified the barriers to climate change adaptation in Tehran metropolis urban management and then assessed the impact of the barriers. A mixed method was applied in this study for data gathering and analysis. Focus group discussion (FGD) was used to identify the barriers. Then the identified barriers were assessed quantitatively by rapid impact assessment matrix and qualitatively by assessing the impacts of the themes to specify their impact and the way each barrier affects the climate change adaptation. The FGDs were held by participation of 59 experts and resulted in nine main themes and 31 sub-themes. The main themes were: structure and culture of research, awareness, education and knowledge, social factors, resources and its management, laws and regulations, communications and interactions, economic factors, institutional and administrative factors, and planning. The rapid impact assessment matrix showed that the impact of planning, laws and regulations, structure and culture of research barriers are bigger than other barriers. The qualitative assessment showed that the impacts of most of the barriers are regional, long-term, irreversible, permanent and certain. Among the sub-themes, the biggest impact belonged to lack of a higher institute or center for research and policy development on climate change adaptation which had the score -72. The average score of the impacts of the barriers was calculated to be -32.32. This score is placed in the -C region and means that the average impact of the barriers is negative. Findings of this study may help the decision makers and policy makers of urban management to have better understanding of the barriers to climate change adaptation, to better cope with, and to overcome them. |
