Local Pathways Initiative – Initializing the SDG11 process in Bijar: Step1

Local Pathways Initiative - Initializing the SDG11 process in Bijar: Step1

Institutional and stakeholder mapping is the first step of SDG localization in Bijar to identify relevant local actors, and sets the stage that would support integrated action for SDG implementation.
This preliminary step serves to identify stakeholders and engage them in the process to develop a common vision, joint objectives, and expected results.

 

key stakeholders of Bijar and their role in furthering local SDG implementation are:

  • Local authorities including municipality, and Regeneration Committee of Bijar, and Cultural Heritage-Handicrafts- Tourism administration of Bijar are the primary drivers of SDG localization in Bijar;
  • National and regional governments including Bijar county government, Kordestan province government, and Urban Development and Revitalization Organization (UDRO) of the Ministry of Roads frame legislation and regulations that define sectoral policies and development priorities;
  • Non-governmental organizations and civil society groups including Hamdelan-e Garoos, Mehrafarin-e Garoos, Hafezan-e Bam-e Garoos, Lalehaye Nesar, Shadi Afarinan-e Garoos. These NGOs and CSOs can bring alternate development models to achieve social targets, provide sectoral knowledge, support bottom-up approaches to implementation and monitoring, act as watchdogs of government and private sector accountability, and in some cases, represent excluded communities, localities, and concerns( environment, climate change,…) in policy making and programmatic planning;
  • Businesses and industry including agriculture LEs, and carpet LEs and SMEs. These are numerous opportunities for collaboration between business and government in SDG implementation, for employment generation, social protection of labor, technological innovation, social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, and philanthropic donations (SDSN,2015);
  • Universities Including Islamic Azad University of Bijar, Payam-e noor University of Bijar, Engineering and Fundamental Science Faculty of Kordestan University. Universities can provide independent technical assistance for SDG localization (SDSN,2015);

Why we involve stakeholders?

There are numerous benefits to involving different stakeholders at this stage:

  • Improve the quality of the decisions, by benefitting from stakeholders’ expertise at the very start
  • Help to identify controversial issues or difficulties before a decision is made
  • Bring together stakeholders with a number of different viewpoints and help different parties find common ground, reducing the risk of opposition in later phases
  • Better inform stakeholders about the objectives and the issues at hand
  • Lead to better acceptance of the decisions and measures that are taken
  • Increase the confidence of the public about decision-makers
  • Help more stakeholders commit to action, so that more ambitious climate protection goals can be agreed

Darband and Darabad Restoration Strategic Plan

Darband and Darabad Restoration Strategic Plan

 

 

 

 

 

Darband and Darabad Restoration Strategic Plan” is part of a greater project of Tehran’s river-vallies restoration which is currently undertaken by Tehran Municipality for Five river-vallies in the city: Darabad, Darband, Darakeh, Farahzad and Vardavard. The current conditions of these two rivers which has gradually transferred from their natural setting into storm water, runoff and waste water concrete conveyors, along with physical considerations, legal and Economic pressures stemming from highly densified and developed parts of the capital, has turned the project into a quite challenging one. Main goals and considerations of the project are classified as below:

 

1. First; Planning for safety against storm water.

2. Second; Water health management, Basic flow quality improvement, Riparian ecosystem restoration and ground water recharge.

3. Third; River’s identity improvement.

Nahjolbalaghe Park Development and Completion

Nahjolbalaghe Park Development and Completion

Nahjolbalaghe Park Development and Completion

Farahzad River Valley is a ten-kilometer long north-south natural axis that is located in the north west of Tehran. Three urban sequences are proposed to connect the abandoned areas of the river valley to the city:

  1. The Urban Park (Between Niayesh Highway and Eyvanak Boulevard)
  2. The Sport Park (Between Hakim Highway and Marzdaran Boulevard)
  3. The Culture Park (Between Marzdaran Boulevard and Jalal-e- Ale Ahmad Highway)

The first sequence (the Urban Park) is under construction which is a 30-hectare land located between dense green natural fabric from north and the 1st phase of Nahjolbalaghe Park. In other words, this could be seen as a transition area from natural to urban

spaces which is comprised of four development zones:

East Development

  1. West Development (The Skate Park)
  2. The Art Garden
  3. The Rock-climbing Park

Pesyan Official Building

Pesyan Official Building

Pesyan official building is located in Pesyan St. Mahmoudieh, in an area of approximately 7000 square meters. It is a 9-story office building over a 3-level parking garage, a lobby and dining room.

Construction of the project was started on May 4th of 2016.

The main idea of the project is to extend and imagine the rich green fabric of site’s surrounding and Vali-e-Asr Street on the facade and into the office spaces.

The interior design idea was inspired from “Open Space Design” which enables the creation of green, vibrant and transparent spaces.

Currently, the project is on finishing stage and is expected to operate by the end of February 2017.
