O nly two countries, namely Iran and M alaysia contributed the final approved full papers. The breakdown of the papers approved being 64% from Iran, whiles the remaining 16% from the latter. The full papers approved were simply grouped generally under 11 subcategories, although quite a number could have been easily placed under more than one category. The top four categories in order of popularity involved the following environments:- R esidential E nvironment (31%), H ospitality/ Tourist E nvironment (11%), C hildren E nvironment and E ducation / Learning E nvironment (both 9%). O n a final note, the Association of n E nvironment-behaviour Researchers (AME R ), the main organiser of AcE -B s 2015T ehran, together with the C o-c hair, ABRAiran, congratulate all contributors in making the conference a tremendous success! Hopefully this conference will inspire and encourage more researchers to participate in our forthcoming serial conferences to be held annually. T he increase in participation shall be most highly likely as the C onference P roceedings shall be published in Elsevier s Procedia Social and Behavioural Sciences accessible online in www.s ciencedirect.com. Furthermore, both AcE -Bs and AicE-Bs conferences have been indexed by Thomson R euters C PC I (formerly the IS I Proceedings).
