Natural disasters are considered as part of the inescapable facts the control of whose occurrence is largely outside of human power. Therefore, natural disasters always have been important issues in biological communities and confronting with the disasters, and harmful effects have been the long-term goals of the communities. The flood phenomenon is considered as one of the unforeseen events and devastating in rural areas of the country. Management of natural disasters, especially floods, is a collection of actions that occurred before, during and after the occurrence of disasters to reduce more effects and damages.Today the approach of response to disasters as command-control structure, has been focused and technology-oriented and is displaced with a new approach called community-based management. It emphasizes on cultures, abilities, knowledge and capacity of existing local communities. In fact, without a comprehensive and systematic look, regarding all aspects of economic, social-institutional and environmental problems in large part is far from achieving. In this regard, the rural communities isn’t far this process and always has been subjected to flooding and its effects, and the other hand, rural area in this study (Zangmar River Basin) and livelihood and activities of residents are affected by flooding constantly and create many financial damages and losses of life for villagers. In this study, for data requirements, both library and field mode (questionnaires and observations) have been used. To cover the whole basin among villages (that were in three ranges of high, medium and lowvulnerability intotal of 63 villages), 21 villages were randomly selected. Then, by using the Cocoran formula taotal of 292 households were identified as samples. Also from 50 groups of officials among 5 organizations related to flood affairs in villages we selected samples and correlation test, we used one sample T test and variance analysis. The results of this research indicate that in all aspects of participation, both villagers and officials group believe in participation in the period before and after the flood disaster, and also there are largel similarities between approaches of two groups of officials and rural people into rate, type and period of participation in flood management in flood risk areas in the field of case study

The term “sustainable” is nowadays widely used in order to describe a world in which the human and natural systems could live together for a long time. Attention to this issue and the necessity to evaluate the ecological potential and economic, social, and cultural capacities in various topics especially in tourism forces the development planners to identify the sources from different dimensions and to a logical and right exploitation. Due to this necessity, the ecologic potential was evaluated by using the systematic method and the Makhdoum Model. Then, the socio-economic indices were rated using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the socio-economic capacities of the Khoor-o-iabanak tourism site were added to the previous layers using the ELECTRE model. Moreover, the bioclimatic comfort for tourism was calculated using the TCI model. In the final step the basic strategies for developing the tourism sector in the study region were offered by using the SWOT strategic planning model. Results show the region mentioned has high potential for tourism developments-especially for desert and ethnic-cultural tourism. Also, the preparation for tourism development in the region could be provided through logical and rational planning and with consideration of concepts and teachings of sustainable tourism.
