During the last three decades, indiscriminate and unprincipled exploitation of lands and changes in uses have caused different reactions of ecosystems. The metropolis of Tabriz is the capital of East Azarbaijan province, which has had an unbalanced and scattered growth during the last few decades, in such a way that the uncontrolled expansion of the city has caused The destruction of the surrounding spaces and the departure of the city from its symmetrical and standard shape. Today, uneven growth and excessive expansion of the city is considered one of the problems of Tabriz metropolis. The method of the current research is applied-analytical by collecting information during a period of 25 years, i.e. 1375-1400 decade in document-library form, field survey in the form of referring to the relevant organizations and departments and using the ecological footprint calculation method. to the main question of the research, that is; "What effects have land use changes in the metropolis of Tabriz over a period of 25 years had on the environment and ecological capacity of Tabriz?" answer and provide solutions to improve the state of land changes and the ecological capacity of the city and the proportional distribution of the population in Tabriz metropolis. Among the results obtained in the present research is that the increase in the population growth rate and as a result the excessive expansion and development of the city during these years has caused an increase in land use changes, especially the conversion of agricultural and garden uses into settlements and residential areas. has been That this amount of changes is beyond the ecological capacity of Tabriz metropolis and requires careful and disciplined management. Otherwise, with the continuation of this type of challenge, the metropolis of Tabriz will suffer significant and irreversible crises and problems in the coming years.

Therefore, considering the development of the tourism industry, it is necessary to evaluate tourism centers in terms of efficiency and competitiveness. The aim of the current research is to assess the potential of geomorphological and geotourism destinations in Khalkhal City, Shahrood district.
Methods: In this research, two models, Kubalikova and Pavolová, were used, along with the conversion of the results into a map using the geographic information system.
Results: The results obtained from the Kubalikova model indicate that the Shahrood district, with 11 points due to the high diversity of stratigraphic and geological phenomena, has high potential in the geotourism sector and stratigraphic destinations. Additionally, the Shahrood and Palanga districts scored 8 and 7 points, respectively. Below are the results based on the positive and negative matrix in Pavolová's model. It also shows that Dehistan Shahrood, with a score of 1.71, has the highest competitiveness due to its stratigraphic sites, caves, and various hydrological sites, ranking at the top in terms of competitiveness. Shahrood and Palanga districts are also ranked well with 1.61 and 1.53 points, respectively, due to the low variety of phenomena and service facilities. However, all three districts in the Shahrood sector have low values in terms of budget deficit.
Conclusions: According to the results obtained from both models for measuring the potentials of geomorphological and geotourism destinations, it is concluded that Shal village has a higher potential than Shahrood and Palanga districts, as well as the output results of the map of the potentials of geomorphological and geotourism destinations in the Pavlova model. It has a higher accuracy, which is due to more parameters of the matrices, also the Kubalikova model has a general model and has a lower accuracy than the Pavolová model.

Today, cities are facing many economic, social, environmental and physical challenges. Based on this, livability is one of the most important recent concepts and theories in urban planning, which leads us to having a city that is suitable for living. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to compare the livability of urban spaces in new and old areas of Tabriz city, a case study of Ahrab and Valiasr neighborhoods. In terms of nature, the current research is of the type of applied research; And in terms of analytical-descriptive method. In this research, the factors affecting urban livability in the studied localities have been investigated in the spatial dimension through studies, and then criteria have been determined in 6 dimensions including housing, per capita, accessibility, environment, infrastructure and population. After determining the criteria, the development and construction (comprehensive) plan of Tabriz city, the statistical yearbook of the country, the statistical yearbook of East Azarbaijan province, the statistical blocks of Tabriz city, Landsat 9 satellite images and the data of the chemistry laboratory of Tabriz University have been used to obtain information layers. In the next step, the collected data were analyzed using ArcGIS software and the results were presented in the form of maps and tables. The findings of the research showed that the level of livability indicators in the two neighborhoods do not differ much, except in some cases, according to the criteria, in the end, the TOPSIS technique was used for weighting and final conclusions, and the results show that Valiasr neighborhood with a weight of 0.59 The percentage is more livable than Ahrab neighborhood with a weight of 0.41%.

Tourism is one of the most important industries in the world, and one of its dimensions is rural tourism. Nowadays, tourists are more looking for natural and traditional spaces to get rid of crowded urban environments and also for new experiences. The objective in this work is to evaluate the influencing features of the rural landscape on the development of tourism and its validation in Chubin village of Neyshabur township.
In this research, the method of library documents and the review of specialized literature related to the subject, the orientation of the effective indicators of desirable rural landscapes have been used, and in the next step, the elements and indicators have been evaluated using the process of field observation. And finally, according to the effective and main indicators, a questionnaire was designed. The validity of the questionnaire was checked by experts and its total reliability was estimated at 0.817 based on Cronbach's alpha. The sample size was calculated based on Mitra Lankford's formula and distributed among 300 visitors from Chubin village. Data analysis was done using spss software and Spearman's correlation tests and multiple linear regression.
First, the results showed the effective indicators on rural landscapes with the approach of tourism development. Also, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between rural landscape indicators and tourism development indicators. In addition, the ecological index has the greatest impact on the development of tourism in Chobin village, and visiting tourists considered the criteria related to the ecological index to be the most effective factor for attracting to this area.
Therefore, to realize the development of tourism in villages,understanding of the components of desirable rural landscapes in the design of rural landscapes as well as designing according to the expectations of tourists can improve the fields of tourism development.

Tourism industry comprises major part of the global economy, and is part of economies that has considerable effects on different cultural, social, and environmental issues. The aim of this research is to assess the potential capabilities of tourism of Ghezel-Ozan River in Gilvan and Manjil regions. The study area is located along Ghezel-Ozan River, and areas around river from Gilvan to lake of Sefidrud Dam in three provinces of Zanjan, Ghazvin and Gilan. The variables affecting in the capability of tourism including infrastructure, accessibility, security, vulnerability, management, participation, landscape diversity, awareness, and notification were classified. The statistical population of research includes 112 managers and persons who directly work in tourism field. Result shows the effects of different factors in the growth of tourism in Ghazvin region. Statistical analysis reveals that the advancement in infrastructure, accessibility, landscape diversity, and the society awareness is very important to reinforce river-based tourism. Based on obtained results, it can be inferred that security, participation, and infrastructure parameters in the study area do not have appropriate situation and, hence these parameters should be improved to enhance tourism. The tourism attraction of Ghazvin region can be supported by exploitation of its present potentials as well as by addressing its vulnerabilities. At the same time, it can assure the sustainable growth for local communities.
