The sampling method is simple random, and the sample size was 383 people using Morgan's table. The content validity of the questionnaire was calculated and confirmed by the professors (Teaching Department of Geography, University of Sistan and Baluchistan) and its reliability with Cronbach's alpha test at the level of 0.852. In order to analyze and test the hypotheses, inferential statistics methods including Smirnov-Kolmogrov test, sample t-test, Friedman and structural equations have been used. The findings of the research show that information technology and its components, such as the development of information technology infrastructure, electronic marketing and electronic commerce, have an effect on the development of nature tourism in Konark. In such a way that the criterion of virtual tourism was ranked first with an average of 4.50 and the criterion of telecommunication platform was ranked last with an average of 2.45. Thus, the innovation of the research is that for the first time, this research examines the comprehensive role and all aspects of information and communication technology in the development of nature tourism in the coastal areas of southern Iran, including the city of Kanarak, while Most of the researches have paid attention to electronic tourism and other aspects of tourism, including health and sports.

Intoduction Vitality is the desire of citizens to be active and dynamic in urban environments, which makes urban spaces more prosperous and crowded and increases the presence of citizens in public spaces. So far, little attention has been paid to the vitality of urban environments in studies, research and design projects of new cities in Iran. Cities are considered to be the most important political, technological, artistic, cultural and social fruits of human beings, and urban spaces of cities are the most important parts that shape the city. In the meantime, it is important to pay attention to the psychological and physical well-being of human beings. The development of today's cities has generally sacrificed this point for its physical growth and development. Today, one of the most important concerns in designing public spaces in the city is the vibrancy of these places, which continues the presence of citizens. Variety of uses can be mentioned as one of the most important factors in attracting people to this place, but at the same time, this factor alone cannot cause vitality and dynamism of the space. Other factors influencing the vitality of an urban space include cultural, social, and environmental factors. Methology The present research is descriptive in terms of practical purpose and analytical in terms of nature and descriptive method. Analysis has been used using descriptive statistics and inferential tests (T-test and analysis of variance) and differences and correlations between indicators using structural equation model.The statistical population of this study includes all citizens living in 4 regions of Isfahan, which according to the 2016 census, was 452453 people. The Cochran's formula was estimated to be 95% reliable with a sample size of 584 people. The statistical sample of the study is half of the residents and half of the tourists in the period of January 1996 to June 1997 present in the public spaces of 4 areas of the 15 districts located in the central part of the city and most tourists use these places as territory. Results and discussion Given that with improved security, and physical identity and attractiveness, vitality also improves.

The results showed that the statistical value of t to compare the rate of vitality in public spaces in central Isfahan from the citizens' point of view. Tourists are equal to -0.630, and the probability of their significant study is 0.0529, which is higher than 0.05, so with 0.95 confidence, zero statistical assumption that the rate of vitality in public spaces is equal.
