A resilient society is able to respond positively to changes or tensions and is able to maintain its core function as a society despite tensions. Natural hazards are one of the main threats to human societies. They overshadow their resilience. Earthquake is one of the most important natural disasters. Earthquakes are basically considered as uncontrollable phenomena. On average, there are 27 catastrophic earthquakes in the world every year, during which 19,000 people die and 36,000 people become homeless.Among these, the geographical area of Iran is one of the accident-prone areas where many natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, storms, droughts, firefighting activities and desertification are examples of which occur every year. In the meantime, the city of Tabriz is one of the largest and most important cities in Iran, which is located in a very high risk area, adjacent to the Tabriz fault and having a population of 1558693 people and the existence of huge human, cultural and History introduces Tabriz as the most dangerous city in terms of earthquake riskAccordingly, Tabriz fault is the most dangerous fault in the country

Considering the importance of urban green spaces in increasing the city livability and competitiveness and their role in the citizens' recreation and leisure time, it is necessary to have a precise understanding of the components affecting the satisfaction of citizens. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to explain the citizens' satisfaction from the urban green spaces in zone 6 of Tabriz metropolis. The research method is a descriptive-analytical method and it is also practical research. The statistical population includes 30 parks in the zone 6 of the Tabriz Metropolitan Municipality, of which 12 parks were purposefully selected as a sample size. The data were collected through documentary and field methods. In order to determine the level of citizens' satisfaction from the green spaces, 320 a researcher-made questionnaires were provided to the park visitors. The results of the regression test show that the service quality index has the highest impact and the safety and security index had the least impact on the satisfaction of the subjects. The average overall satisfaction with the urban green spaces of the zone 6 of the Tabriz Metropolitan Municipality was 3.25 and considering the average distance between the obtained and the standard average and from the subjects' view, these parks are in an average level in terms of the studied indicators. However, the dynamism (cultural, artistic, recreational and sports attractions) and empathy indexes of urban green spaces in zone 6 of Tabriz Metropolitan Municipality enjoyed from a satisfaction higher than the average

Introduction One of the emerging phenomena of modern urbanization that has had a significant impact on various problems in metropolitan areas is the reverse migration from urban to villages locating in the suburbs of the cities. The continuation of reverse migration has reduced life quality and doubled the pressure on the rural environment. The rapid physical growth of Tabriz (called Urban Creep) has caused the uncontrollable development of rural settlements and has created a kind of new marginalization. Currently, the growth and development rate in the villages connecting to Tabriz is very high, so that the area of these villages has multiplied in recent years, and their population is several times more than that of Tabriz city. It should be noted that the average national growth rate is increasing. However, many of the areas built in these villages are outside the legal boundaries. Due to the lack of a local urban plan, illegal constructions and marginalization in these villages occur with an upward trend. If the trend of reverse migration in these areas continues, a turbulent and organic fabric will emerge in the next few years. Data and Method This study aims to determine the effect of various factors on migration from Tabriz to the surrounding villages and explain the rapid development of these villages. A descriptive-analytical research method has been used in the study. The documentary-library tools and field studies, including questionnaire, was used to collect the information. The statistical population of this study includes the migrants returned from Tabriz to the seven studied villages. In the new comprehensive plan of Tabriz, the villages of Anakhaton, Alvar Olia, Kojovar, Sahlan, Oghli, Khilijan, Konduro (Kondrud), which were previously outside the city limits, have entered the city limits. Subsequently, the research questionnaires were completed from the seven villages connecting to Tabriz city. The components of reverse migration are physical, socio-cultural, economic, and environmental factors, of which 114 were selected using the convenience sampling method. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaires, and the obtained mean reliability was 0.7. Results and Discussion The average growth of the country's rural population during the last ten years (2006-2016) was 69.0%, while it was +43.83% for the studied villages in this period. This growth indicates that rapid physical development has increased in recent years in the villages surrounding Tabriz due to the high cost of land and housing in the Tabriz. The population of the studied villages in 2006 was 25892 people, which has increased to 37249 people in 2016. Furthermore, the area of other villages in 2006 was 284.61 hectares, which has increased to 552 hectares in 2016 and have grown 93.94%. Conclusion Based on the field studies and the data analysis results, in terms of population growth and population attraction, the highest population growth was related to Anakhaton village. According to the factor analysis model, twelve factors were involved in reverse migration to the villages connecting to Tabriz. In the economic and housing factor, the high cost of living in the city with a correlation coefficient of 0.731; in the ecological factor, healthy drinking water with a correlation coefficient of 0.813; in the recreational-tourism factor, the natural tourism spaces with correlation coefficient 0.8; in the entrepreneurship and employment factor, establishment of an industrial workshop in the village with a correlation coefficient of 0.705; in uniformity of social class factor, matching the village with the social class with a correlation coefficient of 0.739; in the urban pollution factor, pollution of the cities with correlation coefficient of 0.820; in village enthusiasm factor; the existence of a happy rural life with a correlation coefficient of 0.774; in the job opportunities factor, the job potentials with correlation coefficient of 0.827; in the security and spatial affiliation, the village security with a correlation coefficient of 0.715; in the high density of the city, urban population density with a correlation coefficient of 0.704; in the cultural-behavioral factors and government support, the factor of government support from the villagers in the form of equity shares and subsidies with a correlation coefficient of 0.858 were the most important variables in reverse migration from Tabriz to the connected villages. Moreover, according to the factor analysis model, the economic and housing factor (Eigenvalue=9.61) determined more than twenty-six percent of reverse migration variance and was the most important reason for the reverse migration to the surrounding villages of Tabriz. The high cost of living in the city, low income, high land prices in the city, low purchase and rental prices in the village were among the economic factors affecting the reverse migration.
