Security, stability, development and health are on the agenda of all political systems, which have found a close, complementary and increasing relationship with water resources. Therefore, water supply is a special function of the government. Over the past century, the access of political-spatial units and communities to limited sources of fresh water has been involved in many fundamental bottlenecks. In recent decades, Zayandeh Rood watershed has been involved in a series of problems with origins inside and outside the basin, which has resulted in the drying up of most of it, and has affected the security and development of the resident communities in the same proportion. The current article, which is useful, has explained the reflection of the water crisis on the hydropolitical scenarios of the Zayandeh Rood catchment area. The methodology governing descriptive-analytical research. The data required for the research has been collected by library and field method (interview-questionnaire) and analyzed using Micmac, Scenario Wizard and Shannon's entropy model software. The results of the research showed that out of 31 possible situations connected with seven scenarios with strong and likely compatibility, the situations that describe the hydropolitical scenarios of the Zayandeh Rood watershed as critical, which include the possible possible situations. . Therefore, the water crisis had a critical effect on the hydropolitical situation of the area upstream of the Zayandeh Rood catchment area, and the optimal management of water resources at the national level and in accordance with it at the level of the Zayandeh Rood catchment area became the most appropriate solution to prevent the occurrence of a critical situation in the Zayandeh Rood catchment area.

Creating a context for a sense of belonging to a place and strengthening the practical criteria for increasing the quality of life in informal settlements adds to the necessity of evaluating this issue and recognizing the factors that strengthen it. In this regard, this research with analytical description and review methods of texts, sources, and visual documents in library studies and case research method, recognizes the factors involved in creating a sense of belonging in such settlements and also the effects of spatial configuration changes in enhancing the potential sense of belonging in Nakhodcher neighborhood of Rasht city. The quantitative results obtained from the distribution of 384 questionnaires have been analyzed by the structural model method. This method is used to investigate the effect of a significant relationship between the factors of sense of belonging in this neighborhood and it examines the correlation of variables, which is one of the prerequisites for doing regression. The research findings from the questionnaire show that there is a significant positive relationship between the effective factors in the formation of the sense of belonging, including perceptual-cognitive, environmental-physical, and socio-cultural factors; So that by increasing the parameters of spatial configuration such as the length of passages, interconnectedness, depth, connection, and selection, the quality of the sense of belonging factors mentioned above will also increase. Summarizing the conditions obtained by Depth map software and space layout indicators shows that the minimum value of the connection index in the network of passages of the fabric of the Nakhodcher neighborhood indicates the minimal permeability of the fabric and its organicity. To strengthen the dynamics of this area, the average depth of the entrances of the neighborhood should be kept to a minimum and different uses should be established in the vicinity of the main axis.

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of game-based education in teaching map reading on the academic motivation of primary education students in the geographic map reading department at Farhangian University. The research method is semi-experimental in the form of pre-test and post-test with experimental and control groups. In which four classes (2 classes of boys and 2 classes of girls) were selected as available samples and placed in two experimental and control groups. For the experimental group, 6 sessions of a game-based educational package were considered and during this time, the control group was trained in the traditional way. Both groups were evaluated before and after the intervention using a researcher-made test of map reading and academic motivation questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed using one-way and multi-way analysis of covariance. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in academic motivation (internal and external motivation). The results of this research confirmed the effectiveness of the game-based teaching method on the academic motivation of student teachers.

The waste management without considering the role of people who are the main waste manufacturers, will be impossible. In our country, in discussion of waste management and collection, repulsion and recycling in terms of type and quality of wastes, is diffrent from other countries of the world and has different nature and taking action from any method and technology without examining and recognizing materials and compatibility of local factors, especially the issue of citizens' participation, will not be feasible.The present research with an explanatory approach has been addressed to the issue that the capacity of citizens participation in each dimensions of managerial decision making is to be explored. The results of 24 items in the form of 385 questionnaires in 10 municipalities showed that the score obtained in the Likret scale equals 3.08 . The highest extractive averages is related to areas 1, 2, 9 and 5 are 3.15, 3.13, 3.12 and 3.11, and the lowest average is associated to area 4 equals 3.03. Despite the fact that these areas are at the average of the Likert spectrum, there is a possibility of instability in this section due to the low levels of Urban mismanagement in this section.The study 44 Index of Waste sphere and Urban Management with opinion apply of 50 Related Experts to determine the importance of factors using interaction analysis method / structural in Mic MacFase software demonstrated that the most influenced direct factors of the system are: Creating social capacity, Active participation of beneficiaries people, Social trust, Social capital, Institutions and civil, society,organizations (CSO), Interaction and balance between participater and participating,Education of citizenship rights and NGO assignments. The effects obtained showed the role of social factors, cultural infrastructure and the role of beneficiaries.

One of the most significant factors affecting the regional development is having infrastructure. Therefore, the present study aimed at assessing the development of the country's provinces in terms of infrastructure indicators which based on 20 indicators, 31 provinces were ranked. First, indicators were collected. Then, extracting the weight by principal component analysis method, the indicator was combined using TOPSIS method and the composite indicator of infrastructure development of the provinces was calculated. In order to investigate the regional inequality, the coefficients of variation and Williamson were applied. Also, zoning the provinces was carried out. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, Excel and Arc GIS software. According to the results, the highest inequality was the infrastructure related to the country's transportation whereas the lowest inequality was related to indicators of the rural infrastructure. The findings of composite indicators revealed that the provinces of Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, Isfahan, Gilan and Hamedan have the best situation whereas Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, South Khorasan and Alborz have the lowest rank, respectively. Based on the results of zoning, provinces including Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, Isfahan, Gilan and Hamedan placed in the first level of development, most of the northern, central and southern provinces were in the second level, southern and southeastern provinces were in the third level. Furthermore, according to the hierarchical cluster analysis, the provinces were divided into three groups: developed, semi-developed and underdeveloped. Therefore, it can be concluded that the pattern of spatial distribution of infrastructure development is not balanced among the provinces of Iran and in any decision to invest in the infrastructure sector; underdeveloped provinces should be more taken into consideration.

IntroductionIncrease temperatures and decrease rainfall can lead to the drying up of wetlands, lakes and rivers, the formation of aerosol centers, which directly and indirectly change the structure of society and the ecological conditions of lakes around the world; As a result, it leads to changes in the distribution of animal and plant species, ecological diversity, changes in the plant phonological cycle, factors, growth and organisms, and ecological metabolism. These changes also severely affect vegetation in arid and semi-arid climates. Finally, changes in surface conditions caused by human activities may also affect various hydrological processes. Thus, the twenty-first century is facing many environmental problems, one of the most important of which is the variability of environmental and climatic parameters. Lake Urmia is one of the most important water areas in Iran and one of the largest salt lakes on earth. The lake plays an important role in the climatic, environmental and economic situation and a national and international natural heritage in the northwest of Iran.variability of environmental and climatic parameters is one of the most important challenges for human specific in arid and semiarid environment such as Iran. The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in environmental and climatic parameters in the catchment of Lake Urmia in the last two decades. The purpose of the above was to answer the question of how the changes in environmental and climatic parameters in the basin and the relationship between these changes in the current conditions of the basin Lake Urmia.Data and methodsResearch data includes six categories: 1) TOPEX and Jason 1 to 3 satellites data to study of changes in altitude level of Lake Urmia, 2) Landsat 7 satellite images of 2000 and Landsat 8 of 2019 for extract lake water area changes and 3) Precipitation data from GPM[1] satellite product (IMERG[2]) 4) Vegetation index products of Modis sensor (Mod13A3 v006) to identify vegetation changes, 5) LST Night and daytime of Modis sensor (MOD11A2 v006) and finally 6) gridded reanalysis data (ERA5) to detect of trend air temperature, were used.First, the changes in the water level of the lake were extracted using the data of TOPEX and Jason 1 to 3 satellites, and in the next step, the trend of changes in its was calculated. Landsat 7 images of 2000 and Landsat 8 of 2019 using the Normalized Differential Water Index (MNDWI) were used to achieve changes in the lake's water area. Then LST (day and night) of MOD11A2 v006 products were converted into monthly data using MATLAB software. Finally, the trend changes in precipitation data, 2 m air temperature, LST (day and night) and vegetation (NDVI) were investigated using Mann-Kendall test (Mann, 1945; Kendall, 1975).ResultsThe highest changes in water level in the last two decades are from 2000 to 2010. The decrease in level is evident from the year 2000, from that year to 2010, the water level of the lake decreased by 4 meters and the highest slope of the decrease in it observed in the same period. The change in the area obtained from the MNDWI index is 2740 km2, which has caused the lake to decrease from 5143km2 to 2400km2 in 2019. The decrease of the lake level in its southern and eastern part has been more than the western and northern part. The trend of monthly precipitation changes shows two different temporal and spatial patterns. It is important to note that there is a monthly decreasing trend every three months in January, August and December in the central and southern parts of the basin. In contrast, in May and July, a marked increasing trend is observed in the eastern and southern half of the basin. Spatial displacement of incremental changes in air temperature indicates a clockwise movement from north to east and then south and west from May to August. The trend of day of the LST changes indicates a spatial contrast between the Lake and around it. This behavioral contradiction is more pronounced with the increase of the lake surface temperature and the decreasing trend in the southern and western regions corresponding to the agricultural areas in August, September and October. Changes in LST at the basin level from November to February, in which scattered and small incremental zones are observed, can also be due to reduced vegetation in the cold period of the year. In contrast to the daytime LST, at night what is most noticeable is large zones of temperature rise, especially from June to September throughout the basin. NDVI in the period 2019-2000 has had an increasing trend in all months, but with varying intensity and extent. Three temporal patterns are understandable in the process of basin vegetation change. Increased from January to May, then start decreasing trend from June to August and again increasing trend that continued until December. The lowest increasing trend is observed during the summer months from June to August.DiscussionLake Urmia has experienced a continuous decrease in water level since 2000, so that during the last twenty years, the water level has decreased by more than seven meters. The results of the present study also showed that there was a significant increasing trend in the NDVI index at the basin, especially with the southern of the basin. However, at the basin level, the trend of rainfall changes in this period (2000-2000) is not generally significant and also due to the occurrence of numerous droughts in the basin, which has also had an increasing trend and the expansion of irrigated lands, Demand for groundwater has increased. Therefore, this issue indicates various reasons other than changes in climatic parameters, especially precipitation in reducing the water level of Lake Urmia. In addition to the above, daytime and nighttime LST have increased during the warm period of the year as well as the air temperature on the lake. This increase increment evaporation, especially during periods when recharge is reduced due to seasonal dry. Although precipitation has increased at the end of spring, but with increasing temperature, precipitation increases with increasing evapotranspiration and water requirement of plants is neutralized. Therefore, the simultaneous change of environmental and atmospheric parameters can be considered as aggravating the conditions of hazardous events in this basin.ConclusionBased on the evaluation done in this study, it can be concluded that the basin of Lake Urmia is vulnerable. Therefore, the three main and significant effects of environmental variability in these areas are increasing ground temperature, vegetation and reducing water resources. The result of these conditions on the one hand and the increase of water needs of plants on the other hand will increase the stress on water resources, especially groundwater. Decreasing the lake surface and increasing consumption and reducing water resources can lead to the spread of bare surfaces and the occurrence of dust.

IntroductionSocial resilience plays an important role in social sustainability and solidarity in the face of urban crises. In this regard, the present study tried to use a "descriptive-analytical" method through a questionnaire of 383 people to make a comparative analysis of the quality of social resilience components in the twenty-first and twenty-first districts of Tehran. Citizens' opinions were collected according to Cochran's formula by sampling and relative allocation based on population size. The results showed that the quality of realization and enjoyment of social resilience components in the three study areas was different based on multivariate analysis of variance 1, and the results showed that the public trust index in region one as one of the most prosperous areas of Tehran. And informal participation index in the twelfth region as one of the middle-class regions and the index of the sense of spatial belonging in the twentieth region as one of the low-income regions had more priority, but in analyzing the priority of resilience components in the three regions Fuzzy TOPSIS 2 model and in all three regions, the knowledge index with (zone one with 0.555 fuzzy weight) (zone twelve with 0.576 fuzzy weight) and (zone twenty with 0.6451 fuzzy weight) had the greatest impact, respectively. Has accepted. As a result, it was found that the strategy to promote social resilience in the metropolis of Tehran should be in line with increasing the level of awareness and citizenship skills in all three areas of Tehran. Increase citizens in intra-group and social organizations. Also, improving the sense of spatial belonging and social identity in low-income urban areas should be a priority, in order to achieve a homogeneous and sustainable social resilience in the metropolis of Tehran. Data and Method The present study has been carried out with applied purpose and descriptive-analytical methodology with the aim of comparative analysis of quality assessment of the realization of social resilience components in three areas 1, 12 and 20 of Tehran metropolis. To collect descriptive or theoretical information, content reading of basic scientific text documents (valid articles and books) was used and to collect analytical data, a survey method with a questionnaire was used. According to the main questions posed for the present study to answer and assess the differences in understanding and having social resilience indicators in selected areas of multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and to answer how planning priorities to achieve the indicators Social resilience has been used in selected areas of Tehran metropolis Fuzzy TOPSIS model (FTOPSIS).Results and DiscussionThe results showed that the quality of realization and enjoyment of social resilience components in the three regions was different based on multivariate analysis of variance. The informal participation index in District 12 as one of the middle-class areas and the Index of Spatiality in District 20 as one of the lower areas had higher priority.In the analysis of the priority of resilience components in the three mentioned areas based on the fuzzy TOPSIS model and in all three areas of Tehran metropolis, it was found that the awareness index has received the most impact. Therefore, it is suggested that urban planners pay attention to the role of awareness in cultural development and increase citizenship literacy and associate cultural, media and educational institutions with urban development programs. Social skills, increasing awareness of risk reduction, and citizenship lifestyle issues enhanced the cultural development of cities, as well as the level of social resilience of all urban areas.ConclusionIn the present study, an attempt was made to study rich, relatively rich and low-income areas in the metropolis of Tehran by stratified sampling in terms of differences in having social resilience indicators and their priorities for realization in these areas. . Therefore, region1 was selected and studied as one of the prosperous regions, region 12 as one of the middle regions and region 20 as one of the socially inferior regions in Kalashahr, Tehran. The results showed that the quality of realization and enjoyment of social resilience components in the three regions was different based on multivariate analysis of variance. The informal participation index in District 12 as one of the middle-class areas and the Index of Spatiality in District 20 as one of the lower areas had higher priority, so it can be concluded that more urban culture development programs have the trust of low-income citizens. It has authority and the citizens of the middle and affluent classes in Tehran have less public trust in the goals of cultural and urban planning and their implementation by city and government managers. Also, the institutional trust of citizens in cultural and urban organizations and institutions is low. We see between cultural planning in the cities and strata of the middle and affluent class of Tehran, so attracting the trust of the middle and affluent classes of Tehran is one of the most important proposed strategies. And it is the duty of cultural creators and media managers to help city managers in increasing the public trust and institutional trust of the citizens of Tehran. Also, the level of citizen participation in urban development and management programs, especially in medium-sized urban areas such as District 12 is low, and the urban management system and structure of Tehran should be improved in favor of increasing formal and informal citizen participation and urban management models based on It is based on the participation of citizens, such as the model of urban governance in the metropolis of Tehran to be comprehensively developed and implemented. In the index of sense of spatial belonging, the feeling of satisfaction of the residents of region 1 is more than the 12th and 20th regions of Tehran, and the inhabitants of region 20 have less sense of spatial belonging, and this shows that Tehran And to create the citizenship relations of the residents between the middle, relatively rich and low-income classes of the city in a desirable way, and this causes a biological rift in the metropolis of Tehran, so paying attention to strengthening the sense of spatial belonging is also one of the strategies.However, in the analysis of the priority of resilience components in the three mentioned areas based on the fuzzy TOPSIS model and in all three areas of Tehran metropolis, it was found that the awareness index has received the most impact. Therefore, it is suggested that urban planners pay attention to the role of awareness in cultural development and increase citizenship literacy and associate cultural, media and educational institutions with urban development programs. Social skills, increasing awareness of risk reduction, and citizenship lifestyle issues enhanced the cultural development of cities, as well as the level of social resilience of all urban areas.Researchers and researchers in future studies can study the role and characteristics of resilience in achieving a sustainable urban ecosystem, especially in cities vulnerable to climate change. In the organizational dimension, media resilience and its relationship with cities can be a manifestation of future hypotheses for applied research.

IntroductionIn today's world, citizenship is one of the concepts that is related to the social and cultural environment on the one hand and as a dominant phenomenon of globalization on human coexistence and cultural, political, economic and social interactions on the other hand. Due to the uncontrolled growth of the physical space of Tabriz metropolis and also due to experiencing a series of environmental crises (drying of Lake Urmia in the west of this city and decreasing groundwater level), Coming of industrial estates in four geographical directions and polluting due to industries such as; Power plants, refineries, machinery, tractors, etc., the destruction of gardens around this metropolis and the transformation of gardens and surrounding farms into dry and lifeless apartments from achieving sustainable urban development and transformation It is a long way from a green society. Finally, regarding the importance and necessity of "identifying the key factors (drivers) of environmental citizenship", he also pointed out that culture-building for the environment should be considered not only as an economic factor, but also as a cultural perspective. Pay attention. In fact, the main issue of the present study is: What are the key factors (drivers) that determine environmental citizenship?Table (1): Problem Solving at a Glance (Research Strategy)The main research question: What are the key factors (drivers) that determine environmental citizenship?The main purpose of this research is to identify the key factors (drivers) of environmental citizenshipResearch questionsResearch objectivesResearch methodTools used in researchWhat are the key drivers of environmental citizenship?Identify the drivers and influential trends of environmental citizenshipFuturologyReview previous researchIn-depth interviewslibrary resourcesquestionnaireMick Mac software What are the influential dimensions of environmental citizenship?Identify the effective dimensions of environmental citizenship in order of importanceTable Source: Researchers' Findings 2019.The philosophy of the environmental citizen is based on these principles: People are part of the environment. The future depends on a healthy environment. Seriousness in environmental behavior is necessary. A healthy environment is what people want, and informed voters will be healthier and more successful in creating an environment (Basby, 2007). According to Dobson, in a sustainable perspective, an environmental citizen has a responsibility to work in the community to achieve sustainable development; And that includes all the activities that each person normally has as a citizen who is dependent on a healthy environment (which includes recycling, reconstruction, renewal and service to the environment). انجام is responsible for doing them (Dobson, 2007). An environmental citizen is a citizen who seeks to strike a balance between his or her responsibilities to the environment and existing laws. The term environmental citizen was developed by Hungerford and Volk (1990). They consider the environmental citizen to be: 1) is aware of and sensitive to the environment and its problems;2) has a clear understanding of the environment and its problems; 3) has a sense of concern for the environment and has sufficient motivation to actively participate in improving and protecting the environment;4) Has the necessary skills to identify and solve environmental problems5) In order to solve environmental problems, has active participation at all levels (Barakpour and Jahansir, 2016: 56).Summarizing and criticizing the studies, it is stated that; Despite the importance and role of environmental citizenship in sustainable development, cultural factors related to it and despite acknowledging the relationship between variables such as: environmental lifestyle, environmental awareness or literacy, environmental attitude, environmental behavior, Responsible and sustainable consumption, environmental concern and environmental ethics, consumerism, cultural investments (Azadkhani et al., 2018; Lotfian and Nasri Fakhrdavood, 2018; Mohammadi Dehcheshmeh and Azadbakht, 2018; Moradi, 2017; Hajizadeh Meymandi and Falakuddin, 2017; Rastegar Khalid et al., 2017; Rezaei et al., 2017; Kabiri and Karimzadeh Rezaieh, 2017, Hemmati et al., 2017; Mashhadi, 2016; Fathi et al., 2015; Hemmati and Sheberi, 2015; Holden, 2015; Reynolds et al., 2015; Betagol and Merritt, 2013; Lavin and Stroop, 2012) With environmental citizenship, it can be concluded that in our country, Iran in Less research has been done on the key factors (drivers) that underlie and affect environmental citizenship among citizens, especially citizens of large cities. Each of these researches related to variables has only one or two variables.Data and Method The method of this research is futurology. First, the Delphi method is used. In this study; To analyze the key factors (drivers) of environmental citizenship, 20 citizens of Tabriz were selected using the Delphi technique. Then, the effect result was entered into Mikmak software after taking the mean of all interactions and was analyzed. Results and Discussion Findings showed that the initial identified factors (drivers) of environmental citizenship of Tabriz citizens according to the degree of impact are: environmental awareness or literacy, environmental attitude, environmental behavior, environmental concern Environment and the two variables of responsible environmental consumption and environmental ethics are two-dimensional factors. These variables are located in the diagram around the diagonal line of the northeastern part of the diagram and have a very high capacity to become key players in the system. ConclusionEnvironmental attitude, environmental behavior, environmental concern, environmental awareness or literacy, responsible environmental consumption and environmental ethics are identified from the highest influencing factor to the lowest influential factor from the perspective of experts and specialists, respectively. Taken. Now, considering the weight of the factors and the priority of their impact on environmental citizenship, the following suggestion can be made in this regard:Cultural policymakers, managers, and planners should develop environmental citizenship education content and policies and policies related to environmental citizenship education programs in order to enhance environmental awareness or literacy.

Introduction Flood is one of the natural hazards affecting rural areas around the world. International statistics confirm the fact that, during the last two or three decades, natural hazards like flood has occurred many times compared to the past; it has also caused various harmful effects on rural regions. Due to having a close relationship with natural environment and a limited capacity to confront environmental threats, the rural societies and the related production activities have been exposed to natural destructive forces more than other societies. Since the East Azerbaijan Province is a submergible province in Iran and regarding the several-year experience obtained from the loss of life and property caused by floods, it seems necessary to change the attitudes from “exclusive focus on vulnerability reduction” to “increased resilience” against natural phenomena such as the occurrence of floods. Moreover, because Tabriz city and the surrounded villages have been exposed to the danger of floods from the past, the objective of the present study was to explore and clarify the rate of resilience of rural areas in the southeastern suburbs of Tabriz metropolis against floods.Data and methodsThe present survey was an applied descriptive-analytic research. Data collection was done using library and field studies and relying on a questionnaire distributed among families and Rurals heads. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by using the opinions of the experts in rural and natural disasters, indicators, and components through the collective wisdom of Delphi method; its reliability value was also calculated by Cronbach’s alpha as 0.86. The population included the settlements of 5 villages in the east and southeastern suburbs of Tabriz city. Out of 8554 households in the population, 370 households were selected as the sample of the study according to the Cochran formula. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine variable normality. Regarding the normality of the research variables, the one sample t-test, regression, and one-way ANOVA were used to explore the rate of resilience dimensions (economic, physical, institutional, social, and ecological) in the intended villages. Furthermore, path analysis was used to explore the impact of the five dimensions of resilience (independent variable) on the resilience rate of rural settlements (dependent variable).Results The results of the one sample t-test indicated that among the indicators (social, economic, institutional, physical, and ecological), the social (average=3.50), economic (average=3.33), physical (average=3.10), institutional (average=2.54), and ecological (average=1.98) indicators have the highest impact on rural houses, respectively. The results of ANOVA showed that regarding resilience rate against floods, there is a statistically significant different among the villages. The resilience rate against floods is higher in Leili Khan Rural (average=1.548); it is lower in Chavan village (average=1.373). Besides, the average resilience of the villages against floods is 14.7, which is lower compared to the theoretical average (15); the significance level was less than 0.000. Thus, the resilience status is lower than average in the studied villages which is not desirable. Exploring the impact of each resilience indicator on the durability of rural settlements by path analysis revealed that economic status (β coefficient=0.405) and ecological indicator (β coefficient=0.181) are of the highest and lowest share in the durability of rural settlements in southeastern suburbs of Tabriz city against floods.ConclusionThe results of the analyses show that among resilience dimensions, the social dimension is of the best status and the ecological dimension is of an unfavorable status. Altogether, among the five dimensions (economic, physical, institutional, social, and ecological), the most important factors affecting the resilience of the villages in southeastern suburbs of Tabriz city were identified. The most important items (factors) in the economic, social, institutional, physical, and ecological dimensions were respectively “dependence on a job”, “villagers’ participation in helping flood victims”, “village heads’ planning and tact”, “age of buildings”, and “geographical properties (topographic status, elevation slope, slope, etc.)”. According to the results, the following recommendations are presented. Interaction should be established in order to increase the economic, social, institutional, physical and ecological dimension so as to increase the resilience of Tabriz County. Plans should be set based on the conditions and deficiencies of each village so that they can endure against accidents and hazards. The residents’ awareness of the impact of cultural influence and social relationships on the reduction of vulnerability should be boosted. Moreover, increasing coordination and obliging the crisis management organizations, improving the institutional and organizational contexts, and creating a mutual relationship between local organizations and rural people to increase satisfaction and institutional resilience, especially in the studied villages, are of great importance.

IntroductionIn the present research, the traditional water system and the way of obtaining and exploiting water resources in the past have been studied. To verify the existence of this traditional system in this city, archival documents, which had a significant impact on our understanding of urban development and the water supply network, were referred to. It is the commencement of our understanding of how to use traditional canals and waterways, the signs of which can be recognized in the ancient context. Consequently, the key question was raised as follows: what effects did the water supply network and the traditional water system have on the formation of the spatial organization? In response to this question, this hypothesis was shaped that it seems that the water supply and water distribution network in the city of Sonqor affected the formation and cohesion of neighborhoods from the middle Islamic period onwards. Data and methodThe current research is applied research regarding the purpose of the research method, the data collection method is a case study, and the non-contact method of electromagnetism method has been subjected to a field survey. This method was used to determine the movement of water underground and to locate and prove the existence of springs and alluviums. The determined points of springs and canals as the studied community have been evaluated in a descriptive and non-experimental format. Collecting information from library and field methods and in a non-experimental descriptive format based on documents and ancient evidence, springs, aqueducts and reservoirs were located and identified on the maps using the analytical-descriptive method.Discussion and conclusionAccording to soundings done on the identification points of the springs outside the city, which were checked within a radius of 2 km from the city, the slope of the water flow of the springs and canals along the canal, waterways and streams based on the roughness and height position in the depth of the ground or the ground surface was calculated and measured based on the height of a place above the sea level. The result was that on the eastern side of Danesh Sara and Shah Murad Kariz; on the north side of the Chaman Pashm kariz; and on the western side with Malik kariz and Dara Maleh valleys, the depth of the water flow in the ground is between 3 and 7 meters. Underground water flows from the north of the city to the south of the city, with the slope of the land between 1.5% and 2% of natural alluvium and the water of springs and canals to the lower parts of the city. On the east side of the city, water flows downstream from the Daneshsara aqueduct with a slope of 2%, in the center of the city with a slope of 1.68%, and on the west side of the city with a slope of 1.5%. This procedure can be proven in the vicinity of the northern aqueducts compared to the southern aqueducts and in comparison to the height above sea level. Out of the total number of springs and aqueducts in Sonqor city, 17 points were identified and investigated, out of which 6 points had ancient remnants, and the rest of the studied community were located in the urban context.ResultsFrom the geology and natural geography point of view and according to the field and non-contact EM investigations, the collected information designates that the city of Sonqor was built on alluvial layers. These alluvial layers have changed the earth's surface water path over millions of years. This change has caused the alluviums in the northeast to be higher than the alluviums downstream in the south and southwest. Water appears at fewer than 5 meters on the alluvial layers and is easily accessible to the early inhabitants. Man can build his residence near natural springs by relying on communication and interaction with nature.Consequently, in response to the research question, it can be said that when the city of Sonqor was formed, the most important component that was taken into account was the natural springs that appeared on the alluvial layers in the city of Sonqor. Water harvesting from this spring was done easily. The spatial organization and architecture of Sonqor city are also formed according to the concentration and locational focus of the springs.

IntroductionThe Maku Free Zone has a potential strategic position in the country according to its location on the Iran turkey border crossing and Azerbaijan, and its sustainable development has great importance from various economic, social, and political aspects. However, regional development policies are still focused on growth regardless of resource shortage, especially water resources. It needs further study toward the sustainable development paradigm and focus on limited resources, especially water resources in this region. In a region, sustainable development can be achieved by considering the economic, social, and environmental potential of that region. Individual development is not possible in any of the sectors without taking into account the overall behavior and effects of the subsystems on each other. Data and methodsThe present study is applied research, descriptive and analytical research in terms of purpose, nature, and data collection method. The system dynamics method has been used in the software and wireless environment according to the Library studies and field studies concerning the research topic. The study of the aim was to analyze the development of Maku Free region concerning three economic, social, and environmental subsystems with an emphasis on water resources. In this regard, it uses a systemic approach to analyze the interactions between variables. First, the necessary information and statistical data have been derived from observations and regional specialist interviews. Then, the system of three economic and social sectors and water resources was accepted in the form of cause-and-effect chains (equilibrium and reinforcement) separately using software and their performance with reference diagrams through dynamic knowledge. These subsystems were comprehensively drawn and interconnected in the form of a systemic mechanism governing the development indicators of Maku County. Finally, three policies were formulated from the system mechanism according to the existing potentials in the region and based on limited groundwater resources. With a systematic study, the subsystems related to the three mentioned sections. Discussion and results One of the most important limitations of Maku region in terms of sustainable development is the high stress on groundwater resources due to overexploitation of available water resources. Therefore, the present article emphasizes equilibrium rings to control the negative effects of reinforcement rings leading to increased exploitation of groundwater resources by focusing on excessive use of groundwater resources. For this purpose, equilibrium rings were drawn in such a way as to prevent the overexploitation of groundwater resources and modify effective reinforcement rings by reducing dependency on agricultural activities. Since the agricultural sector is the most important part of water consumption in that region, it will be possible to draw these circles only based on alternative livelihood policy and change livelihood from agriculture to more value-added activities with less dependency on water; Therefore, livelihood change should be done in the framework for developing and replacing High water consumption agricultural activities with non-agricultural activities based on region situation and circumstance. Conclusion The study of systemic mechanisms governing development showed that three policies based on strengthening aquaculture, investment to develop tourism, and cultivation of medicinal plants by strengthening equilibrium systemic mechanisms, can strengthen the sustainability of the Maku Free Zone. The first policy is based on strengthening the Aquaculture activity, which is currently operating with an area of 40,000 hectares and a production of 80 tons per year. The cultivation area of this region can be increased up to 70,000 hectares due to its high potential for aquaculture despite surface water in the north of the Aras River Valley and the existence of dams such as Danalo and Qighaj. In addition, there are many wetlands in the Maku Free Zone that can be used in aquaculture activities in the future by researching them and making a safe investment in this field. The second policy based on strengthening tourism activity will also lead to the control of the destructive reinforcement loop by increasing the added value of the region and reducing stress on groundwater resources. Cultivation of medicinal plants due to low water consumption and income per acreage compared to orchards is the third proposed systemic policy that can improve the systemic mechanism behavior governing Maku water resources towards optimal water management.

Introduction: The purpose of the spatial planning is to achieve the most desirable distribution of population, by the best form of distribution of economic and social activities across land, which has not yet been seriously addressed, or at least showed its manifestations, and in this time spatial planning as a necessity has been paid. The planning plans of East Azerbaijan province are no exception to this rule and at present in the field of preparing the planning plan of the province, there are many issues, the most obvious of which is the lack of practical participation of involved institutions and effective elements in governing the province. Citizens in different stages of preparing the provincial planning plan, not paying attention to the institutional aspects of land management and provincial planning management, the existence of legal ambiguities and significant institutional vacuum in the field of provincial planning management and not knowing the basis of the provincial planning plan and legal authorities Preparation, approval, monitoring, feedback and review, etc. Therefore, recognizing the obstacles and problems of land management plans implemented in particular and the country's development plans in general, is very important in development plans; Because recognizing the problems of the previous plans helps to some extent to avoid those obstacles and problems in writing and implementing the next landscaping plans, and in this way, to achieve the desired future or the balanced development. Therefore, due to the importance of conducting planning studies in East Azerbaijan, in this study, the effective factors in the implementation and causes, factors and obstacles of research plans in East Azerbaijan province have been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to analyze and evaluate these challenges and obstacles to the implementation of development programs in the realization of land management and tries to answer the following questions; 1) What are the reasons for the non-realization of land management plans in East Azerbaijan? And 2) What are the effective factors in the implementation of the land management plan in East Azerbaijan province?Data and Method The present research was applied in terms of purpose, and in terms of nature and descriptive-analytical method, and documentary and field studies were used to collect data and information. The statistical population of this study includes 197 scientific elites (university professors and doctoral students, masters in urban, rural, regional planning and urban planning), experts and specialists in urban management in East Azerbaijan province. To analyze the data using quantitative methods such as; Structural equations were used in PLS software, regression and path-analysis. Results and Discussion The results of research on the reasons for non-implementation of land management plan in the province using structural equation testing in PLS software show; The variable "administrative" with a square value (0.452) is higher than the standard value (0.33) and is therefore described as "average" threshold; The variable "space organization" with a square value (0.4) is greater than the standard value (0.33) and is therefore described as "average" threshold; The variable "economic" with the square value (0.346) is higher than the standard value (0.33) and is therefore described as "average" threshold; The variable "development plans" with a square value (0.740) is greater than the standard value (0.67) and is therefore described as "significant" on the threshold. The results of the study of path coefficients (beta) showed that the administrative and managerial, economic, political and security factors and the space organization have "moderate" values and the "development plans" factor has "strong" values to determine power. Model predictions about endogenous latent variables in the context of land management plans in East Azerbaijan province. Therefore, due to the high values of all values for the variable "Development Plans", it is concluded that the variable "Development Plans" has the greatest impact on the non-implementation of land management plan in the province of East Azerbaijan. For example, land use planning with an all-inclusive approach and rational use of resources and talents in different regions of the country tries to deal with the phenomenon of regional imbalance and provide appropriate solutions for achieving balanced and sustainable development at the land level. However, the lack of proper and complete implementation of development programs in East Azerbaijan province has become the most important obstacle to achieving land management goals. Also, the results in the field of effective factors in the implementation of land management plan in East Azerbaijan province showed that the status of indicators of geographical conditions with a value of T about 9.65 and with a significant level of 0.000, implementation planning with a value of 1.77 and with Significance level of 0.007, institutional with a value of T57.57 and managerial and institutional with a value of T60.60 and significant level of 0.000 in a favorable situation compared to other effective areas in the implementation of land management plan in the study area (province) East Azerbaijan). Also, the results of the route analysis test showed that the most general effect in the field of land management plan is related to socio-cultural conditions with a total effect (0.305) and an institutional index with an overall effect of 0.206. Also, the lowest overall effect is related to the management and legal index with a rate of 0.054. The general effects indicate that in East Azarbaijan province, areas such as imbalance in the population scale of the cities of the province, lack of necessary policies on how to distribute the population in the province, intense concentration of population and activities in the central part of the province. ; Provincial view of organizing hierarchies of urban settlements instead of macro-regional view of territorial areas; Existence of specialized and educated manpower without jobs in the province; High unemployment of young people and university graduates, unfavorable organization of the housing system in the province; Lack of attention to social and human capital in the province; Weakness of participatory foundations and civic institutions in the field of social activities and in the institutional field, restriction of people's participation in formulating policies and programs; The traditional nature of the planning system in accepting the planning approach, the lack of successful implementation and the lack of efficient upstream documents, the weak belief of those in charge of the effectiveness of the planning approach in achieving integrated and sustainable development, limited flexibility in planning strategies; Lack of appropriate rules and regulations and systematic and institutional thinking for land management; Lack of clear and responsible legal institutions for land management, etc. are the areas and factors that have a significant impact on the implementation of land management plans in East Azerbaijan province and sometimes prevent the proper and complete implementation of such plans and plans. To be. In this regard, it can be said that the results of this research with the results of research of Bouzarjmehri et al. In (1397), technical and colleagues in (1397), Jafarian et al. (1397), Tavakoli et al. (1396), Taqvaei and Et al. (2010), Akbari et al. (2015), Sarvar and Khaleiji (2014), Saniei (2011), Sharifzadegan (2010), Latifi (2009), Razavi (2010), Salehi and Pour Asghar (2009) Of Tennessee Valley Civil Organization Studies; The findings of studies by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), etc. are in line and most of these studies with obstacles, causes and strategies for advancing land management plans spatially in various fields.Conclusion The results showed that the administrative and administrative, economic, political and security factors and the spatial organization have "moderate" values and the factor of "programs of development" have strong "values" to determine the model predictions about endogenous latent variables in spatial planning schemes in east Azerbaijan province. Therefore, considering the high values of all values, it is said that the "development plans" index has the greatest impact on the non - realization of spatial planning schemes in east Azerbaijan province. Also, according to the path analysis test, the most general effect on the implementation of spatial planning scheme for socio - cultural conditions with total effect size (0/305) and the institutional index is 0/206. Also, the lowest overall effect is related to the management and legal index with 0/054.

IntroductionUrban branding is a well- meaning concept with at the same time as the globalization approach and has increased competitiveness between cities at national and international levels. Place branding is a strategic tool and method about sharing a competitive advantage and the city index to be on the path to future development. The most important principle in urban branding is to highlight the historical values, natural beauties, cultural, economic and social infrastructure of cities. Conscious branding gives cities a new identity. In the modern age of globalization of symbols and places, cities make efforts to describe their distinctive feature. In addition to the factors of urban economy and development of urban infrastructure, factors such as: quality of life of citizens, urban aesthetics and planning for local development are among the development criteria. Brand City is a placeholder image and package that emphasizes the unique features of the city; So that the city can be ahead of other competitors in the competition. but this does not seem to be a new phenomenon, and historical cities in Iran have always tried to traditionally use the capacity of the titles to advance their own goals.Data and MethodThe hypothesis in this study is: "assigning titles to ancient Iranian cities in previous periods has had a similar effect and effect, such as the concept of place branding in the urban structure". The method of the research, the historical-interpretive research method and the information gathering tool were library, documentary and based on content analysis and historical texts. For a closer examination of the subject, the city of Tabriz with the title of Dar-ol-saltaneh's in the Qajar period was selected which this title turned Tabriz city to a place for crown prince and Tabriz got a better political position after Tehran.Results and DiscussionTabriz political Importance along with the Spatial-Geographical Importance of the city, due to the East-West trade route, Dar-ol-saltaneh of Tabriz, was turned the gateway to the arrival of modernity and communication with the overseas. In order to evaluate the research hypothesis, at first studied the place branding, the components and the criteria for evaluating its effects in the city and in the following, a case study has been reviewed and evaluated. A case study analysis was in the form of place branding components, it should be extracted from the theoretical framework of the research. The components of location branding in the present research model include four axes: Imagery, Identity and Related Issues, Environmental Qualities, especially Urban Qualities, and finally Socio-Cultural Issues. The imagery component focuses on information and advertising around the site in question. The identity component in the urban context address issues arising from the context and affecting identity. In this component, special emphasis is given to the particular distinction that exists in place and which forms part of the identity of the people and the identity of the place. The component of environmental quality, especially urban quality, studies the physical characteristics and physical elements that influence the structure of the city. Finally, the component examines socio-cultural issues, cultural and social contexts, special events and events, and seeks to promote and present them as an important and influential component.ConclusionIt is imperative to point out that all of these components do not require at first; urban branding is a time-consuming process that begins with a set of capacities and potentials in the context of the study, and over time other values and components are added to it. The results of the research show that in the historical cities of Iran, got a title has the similar effects to the Iranian cities with the place branding effect and and show the validity of the research hypothesis. Increasing the environmental qualities, especially urban qualities in the city of Tabriz, establishing socio-cultural issues and the manifestation of these developments in the late Qajar, improving the quality of mental image of individuals and identity in the Qajar period and finally desirable illustrations of the Qajar city of Tabriz in documents Foreign and Iranian are among the important events and developments. In other words; Dar Al-Saltanah brand in the Qajar period in the city of Tabriz caused significant changes and changes that the environmental qualities, socio-cultural issues, identity and imagery in this city grew and developed.

IntroductionOver the last few decades, natural disasters and their aftermath have become a major concern for leaders and organizations around the world. Vulnerability is the "characteristics of an individual, group or system and their situation that affect their ability to anticipate, cope with, resist and recover from natural hazards." Physical vulnerability is: "The probability (or potential) of being affected or damaged by a specific physical component or element under the influence of a particular external driving force, for example a natural hazard such as an earthquake. Today, physical vulnerability is a component. The main key elements are used as model input data by organizations in charge of risk prevention and mitigation, and the development of building codes and guidelines. A look at the seismic history of Iranian cities in less than a hundred years, the widespread vulnerability of Iranian cities to this natural disaster is evident, of course, among the concerns of residents of dilapidated cities. It will be far more than others. The main goal of the action plan is to provide a rapid and effective response that minimizes potential damage to people, property and the environment, and returns basic services to people in the shortest possible time. Data and MethodIn this study, a method based on the vulnerability index has been used to assess the expected damage in Ardabil. Risk analysis for seismic scenarios defined by seismic intensities V, V-VI, VI, VI-VII and VII has been performed to design seismic emergency plans. This method uses the mean of quasi-experimental vulnerability functions, which for a given vulnerability index is strongly related to the seismicity and the expected damage. According to the country's seismic Codes, the basic peak ground acceleration for a 475-year return period is 0.04g, which corresponds to an intensity of VII. Thus, while quantifying physical damage, its impact on the population and other amounts such as debris and economic costs have been investigated. Results and DiscussionVulnerability of buildings in Ardabil shows an average value of 0.59 for concrete buildings and 0.93 for buildings with building materials, which are the most vulnerable. Therefore, it is predicted that buildings with building materials that belong to worn-out structures will have a higher degree of damage. The distribution of highly vulnerable neighborhoods is seen in the central core of the city. The vulnerability index of areas 1 and 3 is higher than other areas. For the seismic scenario VII, the degree of vulnerability of these textures is heavy, very heavy and completely devastated. In the worst-case scenario, about three in a thousand people die of decayed textures, and not every thousand people suffer various injuries. An earthquake with a intensity of V-VI will cost approximately 98 million Rials and a intensity VII equal to 6800 million Rials for these textures. Due to the impact of a seismic crisis on narrow and uneven communication passages and arteries, there is a significant volume of expected debris production among the eroded neighborhoods (for scenarios V-VI and VII, respectively, between 1701 up to 13989 tons). Due to the combined effects of the large volume of debris produced and the urban pattern of narrow and irregular passages, any movement will face several problems. In the seismic scenario with intensity V-VI, 332 people from the population of decayed textures and in the scenario with intensity VII, 3224 people from the population of textures these become homeless. Therefore, the only way to reduce seismic risk with a vulnerability reduction approach is to apply seismic instructions and increase public awareness of these issues. ConclusionThe city of Ardabil is in the range of moderate to high seismic hazard, which is mainly due to the large accumulation of population and old and vulnerable buildings. Vulnerability of residential buildings is high, mainly due to their age and lack of knowledge and awareness of seismic hazard and in terms of seismic actions expected in the design and construction of buildings. This high vulnerability causes significant direct physical damage to buildings, especially worn-out structures, even for low-intensity earthquakes. As a result, the expected physical damage in the case of moderate earthquakes is significant. For a intensity V earthquake, the damage is not expected to be significant, but for a intensity VII scenario, all five areas and the dilapidated tissues within them will experience a level of damage that is slightly higher. Damage is 2 (moderate). In addition to the significant number of casualties, emergency management after the earthquake and subsequent recovery of normal city activities in the medium and long term is important.

Introduction
Today, the issue of development is a concern of many countries. And many local authorities around the world have already begun long-term development for the community and have perfected international best practices for comprehensive development planning and analysis. The central district of Jiroft township has been selected as the scope of the present study; Which in various fields affecting development, has a considerable distance from national and international standards; In terms of development indicators, it is one of the deprived areas of Iran and in this regard, it is a considerable distance from international standards. Different areas affecting poverty, lack of educational facilities, lack of infrastructure and infrastructure are some of the factors that have made it inevitable to address the issue of development in this region. Distribution of selected indicators in the sustainable development of rural areas in the central district of Jiroft.
Data and Method
In line with the purpose and the question; The nature of this research is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose and based on library studies. The statistical population of this research is the five rural districts of the central district of Jiroft township and the sample size has been omitted. Selected indicators have been collected through the statistical yearbook of the Statistics Center of Iran in 2016. It should be noted that in the first stage, about 80 indicators were selected and in the final selection process, considering the discussion of access to statistical and spatial data, the number of indicators was classified and adjusted to seven general indicators. After extracting the indicators, the weight of the indicators was obtained using the TOPSIS model. At this stage, the rank of rural areas in the central district of Jiroft township was obtained with emphasis on selected indicators; Then, for spatial analysis of the weights obtained from the Shannon entropy stage of the TOPSIS model, and in the next stage, spatial maps were drawn using cluster and non-cluster analysis.
Results and Discussion
Accordingly, the present study has extracted and studied seven development indicators according to the selected sub-indicators to measure the development of rural areas in the central district of Jiroft township. According to the distribution of the mentioned indicators; It can be concluded that the scope of research is very different from the standards of development and the indicators of development are not normal and balanced. On the other hand, measuring the development indicators of the research area shows; That the study area is not of equal value. The analysis of the findings shows that Halil village is developing in terms of sustainable development indicators. Esfahan, Islamabad, are in a semi-privileged state and Dolatabad and Khatunabad are in a deprived situation; This indicates an unfavorable situation and far from the desired standards of development at the global and national levels in the study area.
The results of this study on the level of development with the results of United Nations research (1991); Andriant (2001); Ghanbari et al. (2010); Aliaei and Azizi (1397); Mohammad Manan and Reisi (2015), which were mentioned in the background section of the research, are consistent. Accordingly, all of the above research confirms the lack of equitable distribution of services and facilities, as well as the lack of careful planning for regional development, regional inequality, and the lack of integrated development.
Conclusion
The analysis shows that Halil County is developing in terms of sustainable development indicators. Esfaandaghe, Islamabad, are in a semi-privileged state and Dolatabad and Khatunabad are in a deprived situation; This indicates an unfavourable situation and far from the desired standards of development at the global and national levels in the study area.
Also, in order to find regional inequalities and eliminate these inequalities, it is necessary to level the regions and regions in terms of development. By recognizing regional inequalities and ranking them at the district and regional level, better management of regions can be done and according to strategies such as creating planning areas at the provincial, city and district levels, implementing policies. And bottom-up programs Given that most decisions are made in Kerman province in Kerman city, such centralist policies should be reduced and special attention should be paid to the opportunities and limitations of each townships. These are some of the things that can help reduce inequality in the area under study.

Introduction
Geography explains the man-environment relationships and the geographical environments and spaces need the political organization of space is needed for optimal governance. It is impossible or it will be accompanied by many difficulties to manage space without political management and to define clear boundaries by dividing space into local, national and regional dimensions. Thus, political geography examines the effect of political decisions on the environment and geographical space and human relations. If sovereignty arises from the nation, political decisions have acceptability and legitimacy. In this geographical debate, elections as a branch of political geography examine the proportionality or disproportion of electoral areas' seats to the population, as well as the manipulation of electoral areas' boundaries (Gerrymandering) that leads to the continued victory of a person or political faction. The Islamic Consultative Assembly is considered as the main and most important decision-making element in the Islamic Republic of Iran, which periods have passed since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, and according to the existing laws (Article 64 of the Constitution), each area can change according to decreasing or increasing the number of members of parliament in each ten-year period and the geographical boundaries, which necessarily leads to changes in the boundaries of the electoral area and manipulation of the boundaries, in the meantime, the examination of voting patterns and voting and ballots can manipulate and change boundaries in favor of one person or party, and lead to continued victory in electoral areas. On the other hand, if there is a mismatch between these manipulations with the proportion of the population and electoral seats call into question spatial justice and democracy, so political geographers, especially election geographers, examine these issues and analyze electoral areas
Materials and methods
In the present study, the dispersion and deviation from the criteria and division of electoral areas has been investigated using library resources, approvals of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, Statistics Center of Iran, field observation, interviews with representatives and using Spss v22 software, as well as electoral areas maps in different periods are examined using the GIS software geographic information system, and the maps of each electoral area are drawn before and after the changes, and based on one or more of six methods, Gerrymandering is discovered as follows.
Obvious declared method 2. Conditions generality method 3- The evaluation method of the border change process 4- The inspection method 5- The preliminary comparison method 6- Clear superiority method and accordingly the division in the electoral areas of East Azerbaijan province is in the following categories.
1- Very high negative difference 2- High negative difference 3- Low negative difference 4- Very low negative difference 5- Normal 6- Very low positive difference 7- Low positive difference 8- High positive difference 9- Very high positive difference
Results and Discussion
The study of the variance of constituencies indicates that a very sparsely populated constituency with a large and representative Shahin Dej constituency and a densely populated and under-represented constituency of Urmia and Khoy and Charpareh do not have a suitable share ratio.
The variance of the constituencies of West Azerbaijan province compared to the national average shows that the constituency of Urmia is underrepresented and this should beconsidered in future studies. Examining the proportionality of the share in the constituencies of West Azerbaijan province confirms that there is less spatial justice in terms of population and number of seats. The provincial average population of constituencies is 272,101; the sum of its variance is equal to 6.31 and its average variance is equal to 63. Percent. And for the total population of the province, 11.37 representatives are assigned. In examining the manipulations carried out at the borders of some constituencies, especially at the time of the separation of Shahin Dej, Takab and Miando Ab, the proportionality of population sharing has been disturbed. Therefore, in future revisions, this disproportion should be considered and spatial justice Replace with disproportionate sharing. On the other hand, the manipulations in the constituencies should be done with careful and expert attention, and the investigation of Jerry Mandering in this province shows that Jerry Mandering has not taken place.
Conclusion
Analysis of the population and number of seats in West Azerbaijan Province shows that the three constituencies of Urmia, Khoy and Charpareh and Miando Ab are under-represented constituencies and the two constituencies of Shahin Dej and Salmas are among the most representative constituencies, although According to the 2016 census, most of the constituencies are in the normal range, but in some constituencies, the disproportion of distribution is obvious.
The suggestions that can be made about this province are as follows. With the increase in the population of Urmia constituency, this constituency has the potential to increase the representative to 4 seats, which can be considered in future decisions due to the increase in population from 2016 until now. Other constituencies, without considering this important component, will face more gaps in any change, intrusion, occupation, limitation, and increase of the share and spatial justice.

Introduction
Natural environments - including open spaces and green spaces - have wide-ranging benefits for urban populations. Providing open and green space under conditions of dense development is one of the important challenges of cities and a wide range of studies related to the subject of green spaces. On the other hand, quality green space is increasingly recognized as an important factor for quality of life in urban areas and a key component for sustainable urban planning and design. Researchers believe that the quality of green space can be a better predictor of health (compared to its quantity). Public open spaces with good design and quality can attract more users to the space and provide a wide range of activities, unlike low quality spaces. In the meantime, visitors' perception of urban green space and the characteristics of green space is a key factor in understanding the mechanism of how the tangible and intangible benefits of urban green space ecosystems are. The results of studies show that the higher the residents' perception of the qualities of green space, the higher the mental and physical health scores. Therefore, by examining the effect of perceived qualitative components of the park on the satisfaction and vitality of residents, its effective components on health and healthy lifestyle can be Identified by creating a sense of satisfaction and vitality in people living in the surrounding areas. This research is done to answer the following two questions: 1. What are the qualitative / perceptual components of green spaces in promoting the sense of satisfaction and vitality of the residents of the neighborhoods around Eligoli Park and Valiasr Park? 2. What are the predictions of the qualitative / perceptual components of urban green spaces in the case studies of this article and what interpretations can justify them?
Data and Method
Considering the crystallization of positive qualities of urban green spaces in two characteristics of perception of vitality and satisfaction of its users; In this article, the subjective components of satisfaction and vitality in relation to intrinsic sub-qualities and sub-qualities related to use in green space in the neighborhoods adjacent to Elegli Park and Valiasr Tabriz were evaluated by quantitative survey method. A survey is conducted among the adjacent residents of Eilogli and Valiasr parks in Tabriz using a questionnaire. The questionnaire form is set in both face-to-face and online in which the various characteristics of the park environment, including: physical characteristics, naturalness, openness, tranquility, facilities, historical-cultural value and security, accessibility, Usability, variety of activities, maintenance and attachment to the park environment are questioned. Sampling was done randomly and 388 residents answered the questionnaire. The structural equation model is used in Amos Graphic software to analyze the data.
Results and Discussion
The results of structural equation model analysis show that usability, accessibility and tranquility of the park environment have a significant positive effect on residents' satisfaction in the two parks, but the facilities of the park environment have a significant effect on dissatisfaction. Also, the openness of the park environment has a significant positive effect on the vitality of residents. It was expected that more components would have a significant effect on the satisfaction and vitality of the residents adjacent to Elegli and Valiasr parks in Tabriz, but as can be seen, the results of studying the effect of other components of green space on satisfaction and vitality To a large extent, it did not meet expectations. Possible reasons for the lack of significant components of naturalness, historical-cultural value and security, maintenance, diversity of activities and attachment to satisfaction and vitality are stated in the discussion section of the article. In addition, a wide range of predictions, from cognitive to non-cognitive components, affect the perception and evaluation of satisfaction and vitality in Elgoli and Valiasr parks of Tabriz, because studies show that evaluation in Contrary to conscious judgment, satisfaction is based on general and inaccurate evaluation. Non-cognitive components such as accessibility components (generalized emotional beliefs), emotional components (attachment), and commitment components (degree of participation) lead to an overall assessment of satisfaction and vitality.
Conclusion
The analysis of the results of this study emphasizes the importance of perceptual dimensions versus physical dimensions of green spaces in urban design and planning. It is suggested that designers and planners of urban green spaces, in addition to using the qualitative/ perceptual components approved in this research in design and planning, To promote the satisfaction and vitality of the residents around the parks, take measures so that other identified components can play a more effective role in future parks. One of the limitations of the present study is the impossibility of studying seasonal and climatic effects, which is one of the limitations of cross-sectional studies. It should also be noted that this study and the intervals intended for people over 16 years.

Introduction
In recent years, the impact of climate change and drought forecasting on water resources planning and management has received much attention. In the present study, probable climate change on Malayer basin temperature and precipitation over the period 2014-2014 was investigated and monthly, seasonal and annual forecasts for the near future (2030-2011) under three scenarios A2, B1 and A1B using HadCM3 general circulation model The LARS-WG model was used for performing and exponential micro-scale.
Data and Method
ARIMA multiplication time series and AIC and SBC criteria and Pert-Manto test in predicting precipitation and SPI and SDI indices have been used to predict drought for the period (1397-1418) of Merville, Pihan and Wasjeh hydrometric stations.The results show an increase in precipitation and temperature in all three monthly, seasonal and annual scales in the coming period, and Shows that the largest meteorological drought for the base period in 1998-1999 is -1/96 and In the coming year 1418-1418 there was adecrease of -2/4. Surveys show that moderate and severe droughts will increase in the coming statistical period at the Mervil, Peyhan and Vasge stations.
Results and Discussion
Drought occurrence reduces discharge and hydrological drought. The results show that due to variability of precipitation and mean air temperature, the trend of drought changes is not the same in different months. Therefore, the duration, severity and frequency of droughts vary from month to year.
Conclusion
Investigation of correlation (r) and mean error (MSE) values between observed and calculated values of discharge and precipitation at the stations under study indicate the high capability of ARIMA model in simulating monthly discharge. And it can be used in other parts of the country.

Introduction Due to the need for space, high cost, and a long time to perform experiments, the use of physical models is often not recommended. For this reason, many river engineering issues are examined with mathematical models (Azizi et al., 2019). Kalami et al. (2019) in detecting geometric-hydraulic relationships of river cross-sections using an inverse solution of Venant equations showed that after identifying the relationships and comparing them, hydraulic-hydrological process methods have high efficiency and accuracy in simulating river floods. Ouda (2019) in modeling and multi-phase reviewing of sediment transport and bed erosion and changes in river morphodynamics using numerical modeling and analysis of sediment production and transfer mechanisms showed that the current numerical model performs well in most cases of Multiphase test shows sediment transport and erosion. Data and Method The study area is located in Khorramabad city of Lorestan province in western Iran From Cham-Anjir station, 12 km from Khorramabad, with an area of 1650 km2 up to Doab Vissian station with an area of 2450 km2, which in this study includes a part of the permanent river of Khorramabad with a length of approximately 40 km. After entering geometric and flow data into the model, boundary conditions including sediment measurement curve for upstream range and discharge-Ashle curve were performed for downstream range in HEC-RAS hydraulic model and sensitivity results were extracted. Then, using SPSS software, the regression relationship between the dependent variable of Discharge (Q) and independent variables (W), river water surface width (D), average and hydraulic depth of flow, (A) flow cross-section, and (V) velocity The average cross-section (flow) was calculated based on the values of significance level, coefficient of determination and standard error. Based on the results, various simple linear models, degree 2, degree 3, and exponential, and the relationships governing the geometric properties and factors related to the processes affecting the river were investigated. Among them, the relationship with the highest coefficient of determination and the lowest standard error was selected as the appropriate relationship. Results and Discussion Sensitivity analysis of the model shows that with increasing the number of cross-sections, the rate of change of hydraulic parameters along the river has been clearer. Also in Khorramabad River, the number of sections is 421 and the model estimation accuracy is 20.73% for the water level width parameter, 79.65% for the flow depth parameter, and 74.07% for the flow velocity parameter. In the exponential model, there is no problem with the variables collinearity and the variables do not interact with each other. In models grades 2 and 3, due to the problem of collinearity, these models do not have sufficient validity. In addition, models grades 2 and 3 did not have sufficient validity in terms of both significance level and standard error. Therefore, the exponential model is introduced as a suitable model due to its non-collinearity, P-value less than 1%, and standard error less than other models. In the obtained function, the discharge flow as a dependent variable is directly related to the width of the river. Also has a more direct connection with the flow cross-section. The Discharge also shows a more direct relationship with the flow cross-section. Because the flow cross-section parameter includes two parameters of flow width and depth (geometric variables of the river). In the obtained exponential function, the sediment capacity as a dependent variable has a direct relationship with the average flow velocity, shear stress, and flow rate as an independent variable. According to the relationship obtained between the independent variables of sediment capacity, it is more dependent on the flow rate. As the flow rate increases, the sediment capacity also increases and vice versa. Conclusion Studies show that Grade 2 and 3 models did not have sufficient validity due to the problem of being co-linearity and significant level and standard error.In the sediment simulation section, the coefficient of determination obtained in the exponential function for V, Q, SH is less than the values of 2 and 3 degrees regression functions and higher than simple linear regression functions and all variables are meaningful at the level of 1% (99% confidence interval). Also in this function, the variables have the lowest standard error and a significant level compared to the simple linear, grade 2, and grade 3 models. Therefore, they are considered suitable models for the river. The results of the study of exponential functions show that the sediment transport capacity is directly related to the flow rate, flow velocity, and shear stress, and also the flow rate is directly related to the flow cross-section, river width, and flow depth inversely. This means that with increasing flow, the cross-sectional area of the stream, which includes the width of the river and the depth of the stream, gradually decreases, and also with increasing flow and changes in river morphology, flow velocity and shear stress increase, which results in increased sediment transport capacity and vice versa.

Introduction Land use change generally has a serious impact on the rate Organic matter and other properties Physical and chemical soils.So that today, the study of the effects of land use change on soil characteristics in watersheds is one of the important and important topics for researchers. Pichakd, (2017) Khatir Pasha et al. (2017) examined the effect of land use change on soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics in Qalaq forest of the city.The results showed that the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil were significantly different between different uses and the dynamics of nitrogen could be affected by changes in forest uses. Data and colleagues (2015) concluded by examining the characteristics of sodium soils and organic carbon components in various uses in northwestern India That's in all usesAs the depth increases, bulk density, the amount of silt and clay, and the pH and electrical conductivity of the soil increase The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of land use change on the physical and chemical properties of soil in the Kermanshah Helshi watershed. Methodology The Halshi watershed is part of the Qarasu basin with an area of about 7356.65 hectares, which is located 30 km southeast of Kermanshah..In this research, first, using topographic maps of the region and satellite images, the land use map of the region was prepared in three classes of agriculture, forest and rangeland.In the next step, based on land use maps, topography (slope, direction, height), geology, soil hydrology, land capability, erosion of soil sampling points in the study area in Arc GIS 9.3 software environment are specified and according to the conditions. Homogeneity and area of each land use at a shallow depth of about 0-20 cm 38 soil samples including 18 samples in agricultural lands, 10 samples in rangeland lands and 10 samples in Forest lands Accidentally harvested and the geographical characteristics of each soil sample were recorded by GPS. The soil samples were then transferred to the laboratory after drying in the open air and the physical and chemical properties were evaluated using one-way variance (ANOVA) and SAS software. Discussion and results According to the results of statistical analysis and the meanings obtained from clay, silt and sand ratio in the samples of soil tested, the type of soil texture in agricultural use is more than clay and loamy-clay type, rangeland lands with loamy texture and lands. It is a clay-silty forest, Due to land use change, soil texture has changed from clay-silt in the forest to clay in agriculture.Reducing the stability of aggregate in agricultural use compared to two uses Rangelands and forests can be considered due to tillage operations and reduction of soil organic matter, which indicates unsustainable use in these lands.Average pH in agricultural use, Rangelands and forests show that these parameters do not change significantly in different uses and are the same.The existence of geological formations, especially lime and carbonates (karstic lime), and climatic conditions, physicochemical decomposition and material erosion, has increased and concentrated the amount of surface lime.The results show that forest use has the highest amount of organic carbon than both agricultural and rangeland use. The percentage of nitrogen in the surface layer in agricultural and rangeland use is lower than forest use, indicating that land use change from forest to agricultural reduces soil nitrogen.The average amount of potassium that can be absorbed by the surface layer of rangeland is higher than that of agriculture and forestry. But this difference was not statistically significantBased on the results of the Mean Comparison Test (ANOVA), it shows that land use change has led to changes in soil quality and some physical and organic carbon parameters of the soil. Results In general, the results of this study showed that conversion and change Land, especially from Rangelands and forests to agriculture and consequently Continuous cultivation on these lands leads to the destruction of some of the optimal physical and chemical properties of the soil.According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that land use change can reduce the appearent specific weieght in agricultural lands, increasing the amount of sand used. Rangelands, increasing the aggregate stability and organic carbon soils in forest lands, reducing the amount of organic matter in arable land, increasing potassium Rangelands, increased phosphorus in arable land, increased organic carbon in the forest, increased electrical conductivity in agricultural use.The results of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the change in rangeland and forest use had the greatest impact on soil characteristics and the stability of aggregate aggregate stability and organic carbon in forest use made the most difference .Therefore, land use change, especially from Forest andRangelands To Agriculture affects soil properties and leads to soil degradation and reduction of nutrients.

Introduction Economic growth is one of the goals pursued by every country, and this is because of the many benefits that come with the growth process. According to World Bank reports, more than 80 percent of people live in developing areas. Unfortunately, in developing countries such as Iran, balanced development has not taken place, which has created regional inequalities and economic divisions between regions. The increasing inequalities between different regions of a country indicate that part of the country's population is not benefiting from the consequences of economic growth and development. Theoretical framework The discussion of development and underdevelopment is one of the most challenging issues in today's world that is influenced by various spatial, temporal factors, and the varying value of different criteria in measuring development. The expansion of development concepts and policies has led the past decades called the era of development. This era has begun in the mid-20th century. Many indicators have been provided for measuring development and underdevelopment; however, based on most thinkers, especially thinkers of the 20th century, economics is a significant development factor. Moreover, there is a close relationship between human and the economy; as economic development cause the development and improvement of human living conditions, humans are the main factor of economic growth and development. Nevertheless, economic development happens when all regions of a country benefit from that. Therefore, to achieve comprehensive economic development, economic policymakers must create a kind of economic balance and cohesion in different regions and provinces so that with coordinated economic growth, the economic development differences can be solved in provinces of Iran. Methodology A descriptive-analytical approach was used in the present study. The required data from the statistical yearbook of 1395 have been collected in the form of 30 indices. Shannon entropy, coefficient of variation, and Vikor were used for weighting, distribution analysis, and developmental level determination, respectively. ArcGIS software was also used to display the map. Results and Discussion The coefficient of variation was used to determine the status of the distribution of indicators in the provinces. According to the results, about 11 indices have a coefficient of variation above 1, and two indices have a coefficient of variation above 0.9, indicating a lack of balanced distribution of economic indices in the provinces. There are the highest inequalities between the indicators of incoming tourists, durable housing, and mining workers with 2.00, 1.55, and 1.54 scores, respectively. In contrast, there are the lowest inequality levels between the indicators of male economic participation, economic participation, and working population with 0.6, 0.7, and 0.7 scores, respectively. Overall, 36.67% of the indices scored above 0.9 indicate inequality between more than two-thirds of the indices studied in the provinces. Based on economic indicators, the Q average for 31 provinces was 0.76, which is above average. Isfahan province with Q equal to 0.253 is at the highest level, and Tehran and Khorasan Razavi provinces are in second and third place with Q equal to 0.322 and 0.434, respectively. In contrast, Ilam province is at the lowest level, with Q equal to 0.996. Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari and Ardabil provinces are ranked second and third most economically deprived, with Q equal to 0.977 and 0.964, respectively. Conclusion The results of this study showed that mainly central and populated provinces, including Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi, Tehran, Kerman, Fars, East Azarbaijan provinces had a higher level of development, and the rest of Iran provinces had medium and lower economic development level. Among the 11 provinces with low development level are Gilan, Zanjan, Kurdistan, Alborz, Lorestan, Hamadan, Golestan, North Khorasan, Bushehr, Hormozgan, Sistan and Baluchestan and 7 provinces with lower development including Ardebil, Qazvin, Qom, Kermanshah, Ilam, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad require special attention and efficient policies and programs for faster and more effective economic development. Overall, 19.35% of provinces were at the highest economic development level, about 22.58% at a medium level, 35.48% at a low level, and 22.58% at a lower level. The interesting point is that the absence of any of the provinces in Iran at a high level of economic development. This point clearly indicates the inefficiency and hierarchy of economic development and other aspects of the imbalance of economic development in Iran.

Introduction Geography is like a bridge between the past and the future, as a crossroads between the natural and social sciences. In recent years, geographers have become increasingly interested in literary texts as a means of exploring the concept of landscapes. The study of a landscape as a text places the interpretation of a landscape at the center of interdisciplinary studies and uses concepts such as objectification, representation, awareness and ideology, and the interrelationships between these concepts. Data and methods Dynamic and timeless interpretation of visible and invisible aspects as well as forgotten and overlooked aspects of a perspective can show changes and developments in social, political, intellectual, architectural, as well as choices, behaviors, and attitudes of a human group in different periods and its impact on the place, environment and geography. By case studying the ode "Ivan Madain", several dynamic and interpretable images of this cultural landscape are presented instead of a fixed and stereotypical image, and many facts from the interpretation of this cultural perspective are obtained. In the present study, the research method was documentary-analytical in terms of purpose and nature. Discussion and conclusion The components of the cultural landscape can be divided into two categories: the visible components and the invisible components. Some of the components of cultural landscapes leftover from this magnificent building of the Sassanid period can be seen and reported for Khaghani Shervani; such as the iron ring that existed inside the porch roof until 1812, and this ring was taken out of the roof by the local Bedouins, thinking that it was a precious metal. Invisible aspects of these cultural landscapes are linguistic species that can identify the geographical area of the language of the peoples who spoke it. Khaghani mentioned the name "Tigris" several times in this poem. Tigris is an ancient Persian word that was originallly "Tighreh" and due to linguistic changes, has become the modern form of the Tigris. Conclusion In describing Iwan-e Kasrā, Khaghani did not limit himself to cultural concepts. In addition to ecological interpretation, he has studied the elements of indigenous architecture, historical past, cultural entanglement, culture, and conditions of different eras. As a cultural geographer, he has pointed out both the visible aspects of this magnificent Sassanid building and the invisible aspects of this cultural landscape. Throughout his poems, he has presented a different way of looking at the world that is not limited to a tasteful, empirical, and emotional perspective. Thus, it can be argued that literature has more to do with providing an emotional counterpart to the objective knowledge of geography, and the cultural perspectives described in the literature, which have emerged from the combination of literature and geography, are the best place and possibility for thinking.

The increasing waste production and its proper disposal is one of the major environmental challenges facing human societies which has increased the focus on Retrieve and recycling of raw materials One of the ways to recover and recycle municipal solid wastes (MSW), composting from organic materials. The Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM) is a partially new method which is particularly advantageous over others, as it provides a transparent and permanent record of analytical process while simultaneously organizing the EIA procedure, which in turn significantly reduces the time taken for EIAs. In order to weighting of impacts, the FANP method was used and the RIAM method was used to analyzing and scoring. The results show that among all the identified impacts, 19 environmental impacts of factory operations are harmful. But for the other six environmental impacts, it has had a positive result and therefore it has very beneficial effects on the regional scale and, in some cases, has national positive result.

Industrial clusters are related SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) concentrated in geographical areas which help regional development by promoting learning capacity. This development is due to intraction of four physical, economic, social- cultural and organizational proximity in industrial regions. According to above mentioned facts the main purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of industrial networking on learning promotion in “Qazvin” and “Arak” industrial regions (These two province are industrial poles in iran Specially in automobile industry). Research methodology that is applied in this research is descriptive, analytic and comparative. The results in this article are supported by systematic-stratified sampling, data gatherd by in-depth interviews and questionnaires.The results show that there is meaning full correlation between networking and its intensity that represent learning process in networks. Also, studding of industrial networks parameters influencing learning and network topology shows that there is correlation between network structure and learning (straight correlation).
