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.

One of the features of a pedestrianized city is having suitable public places so that citizens could spend their leisure time there. Making such spaces is, one of the important duties of city managers. Chaharbagh Abbasi Street, having the characteristics of third places such as green spaces and shady trees that can bring a sense of belonging and memories for pedestrians is now available as a pedestrian for citizensIn this research, the conceptual model was defined, by studying library document and also, which is done by examining other research works conducted in this field. In this model, the characteristics of the third places were classified as independent variables in four indicators of "uses and activity", "access and linkages", "comfort and image", and "sociability". And the extent of its effect on vitality index as a dependent variable was investigated by designing a questionnaire in the form of a five-choice Likert scale and analyzed by Smart PLS software with a second order confirmatory Factor method. The statistical sample size was obtained using the Morgan Table and the questionnaire was distributed randomly among 384 citizens in Chaharbagh Abbasi pedestrian area of Isfahan city. This study showed that, although “access and linkages” variables does not have a direct effect on the vitality variable, indirectly and through influencing other variables, it has a significant role in the vitality of Chaharbagh pedestrian space. In this research, 66% of the changes in vitality as a dependent variable were explained by independent variables such as “comfort and image”, “sociability”, “uses and activity” in the structural model. Since most of the citizens use the pedestrian space as a place to talk and have fun with family and friends, it is very crucial to provide a safe environment that can make the conversation space pleasant.

Tourism becomes the largest and most diverse industry in the world, which, as the main source of income and work, plays an important role in the economic growth of the countries of the world. Accidents and crises play the role of inhibiting the development of the industry. Epidemics are distinguished from other crises by the fact that they usually leave the local government. Resilience strategy for quick recovery of destinations affected by the crisis has been introduced. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a research with the aim of investigating the role of resilience in the epidemic crisis in tourist cities. The present research method is analytical-descriptive in nature and it is a survey type by completing a questionnaire. At first, the path analysis model was used to determine the factors on the tourism resilience of the studied city (Shiraz) during the epidemic crisis. Therefore, according to the number of research criteria, the multiple regression test was implemented, which was directly considered first. The combination of resilience is determined as an independent variable on Shiraz as dependent changes. It is considered indirect in the next steps. In the stages of direct research, all research indicators have a significant effect on the dependent variable and there is a significant linear relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The most direct effect is related to the social-cultural index and the most indirect effect is related to the economic index. In total, the social-cultural index has the highest correlation coefficient among the resilience indices, which indicates the most influential index on the epidemic crisis in Shiraz tourism. The economic index is on the second level. Finally, infrastructure and institutional-organizational indicators are placed in the next ranks with small distances.

Gully erosion is one of the most dangerous types of water erosion that destroys land and disrupts the balance of biological resources and the environment. In this study, the effective factors in gully erosion, prediction and zoning of gully erosion were investigated using the maximum entropy model in Alamarvdasht watershed in Fars province. First, the location of the ditches was prepared through field surveys, aerial photographs and using Google Earth software images, and then the digital layer of the ditches was prepared in point form in the GIS software environment, and in the next step, the basin's physiographic indicators was prepared from in ARC GIS software. In this research, a soil texture map was prepared in GIS software with field operations in the study area and soil sampling and testing, and a land use map and vegetation density was prepared using Landsat satellite images, and then each of the indicators was The ditches were added in the GIS environment. To implement the maximum entropy model, 70% of the data were used for model training and 30% for model testing. In this study, the effect of each other indicators was determined using the Jack Knife test, and finally the most effective indicators were introduced. In order to validate the model, the direction of zoning of gully erosion in the studied area was evaluated using curve (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC). The results of this research showed that climate index, slope, geology, land use, direction of slope and height are the most influential indicators in creating ditch erosion and the AUC=0.997 is at an excellent level.

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.

The old and inefficient urban tissues are areas that, separated from the evolutionary cycle of life, and have become the center of problems and inadequacies.This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of re-creating the old and inefficient fabric of Tepeh and Hamam neighborhoods in Ajabshir city. It is of applied type and descriptive-analytical method. The information was obtained in the field using a researcher-made questionnaire tool. To apply the SWOT model, 25 specialists and experts in the field of urban planning and municipality were selected and the questionnaire of the model was provided to them. SWOT strategic analysis model and quantitative strategic planning matrix QSPM were used to analyze variables and indicators. A five-level Likert scale was used to measure the variables in the questionnaire. The findings show that based on the SWOT model, the score of internal factors of IFE was 2.13 and the score of external factors of EFE was 2.58. Therefore, internal factors with a score of less than 2.5 indicate that weaknesses prevail over strengths, and external factors with a score of more than 2.5 indicate that opportunities prevail over threats. Therefore, the appropriate strategy for recreating the old neighborhoods of Tappe and Hammam in the street of Ajabshir is a conservative type (wo). The result showed that after prioritizing the results in the QSPM matrix, the strategy of eliminating the irregularity of the inefficient texture and the compactness of the granularity of the physical elements with regard to the possibility of turning these neighborhoods into commercial and tourism centers as the first priority for the regeneration and management of the development of the worn out and inefficient texture of the hill neighborhoods And the street bath of Ajabshir city was determined.Key words: urban regeneration, inefficient Texture, SWOT, QSPM, Tappe and Hamam Kuche neighborhoods, Ajabshir city.

Land subsidence is an environmental phenomenon of the gradual or sudden subsidence of the land. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the land subsidence in Shabestar plain of East Azerbaijan province. Using Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) time series analysis method, the crust surface displacement rate between 2018 and 2021 is investigated. The maximum subsidence is seen in the southern and southeastern parts of the plain with a maximum rate of about 8 cm per year in the direction of the satellite line of sight. Also, using AHP the conditioning factors are weighted and the land subsidence susceptibility (LSS) is modeled using spatial analyses. Thereupon, Shabstar plain was classified into five regions with the LSS: "Very High": 3%, "High": 20%, "Moderate": 25%, "Low": 33% and "Very Low": 19% of the total area of the plain. To verify the accuracy of the subsidence susceptibility model, the displacement map obtained from radar interferometry was utilized, the area under the ROC curve of 86% confirmed the good prediction accuracy of the model. Also, the model was assessed by performing sensitivity analysis for most important conditioning factors. The introduced model can provide useful and reliable information for managers and decision-makers of the region for the effective and timely 'prevention' and 'mitigation' planning with low cost and time.

The alienation feeling is a kind of mental state arising from the city in which the citizens feel a sense of separation and lack of belonging towards themselves and the city social, physical, cultural and historical environments. Urban spaces make citizens feel alienated. This research was done with the aim of presenting a conceptual model to explain the causal, background and intervention conditions that affect the urban space alienation feeling. In this mixed method research in the qualitative stage, interviews were conducted with 32 Ahvaz citizens until theoretical saturation, and by the theme analyze, a conceptual model was presented to explain and how the conditions affect the alienation feeling. In the quantitative stage, with the structural equation modeling, the alienation feeling causal structure was investigated for 310 Ahvaz citizens who were randomly selected in a stratified manner. Qualitative findings showed that city space ineffectiveness, insecurity, lack of city vibrancy, poor quality of city structures, city inaccessibility and unviability are the most important causes of the alienation feeling. The gender, family, ethnicity and culture of the people are also the background conditions. Inaccessibility has the greatest effect with a causal path coefficient of 0.65, followed by urban space insecurity with a coefficient of 0.60. The unviability of the city with a causal path coefficient of 0.51 had the least impact on the feeling of alienation in the urban space of Ahvaz. The feeling of alienation in urban spaces is strongly affected by interventions such as policy and legislation, urban designs, and gender segregation. The optimal and intelligent design of cities, taking into account individual and gender differences, ethnic and cultural symbols, and of course the security and accessibility of the city, provides the possibility that citizens feel less alienated from the urban space and their residence place.

Today, the speed of urban development has exceeded the capacity and ability of governments to expand infrastructure and provide services and create employment, as a result, the phenomenon of informal settlement has spread rapidly and irregularly. Statistics show that a population of metropolises and even many medium-sized cities have settled in disorderly habitats and on the outskirts of cities, which constitute the poorest groups of the urban population, this shows the necessity of efforts to create better conditions in these settlements. . Today, one of the new ways to analyze the current and upcoming challenges is to use the foresight approach and look at the present from the future. Due to the rapid growth of the population and migration during the past decades, the city of Khoy has not been able to provide suitable conditions for the settlement of a part of the population. For this reason, the population that moved to the city of Khoy was forced to live on the outskirts of the city and created a phenomenon called informal settlements. This research was written with the aim of identifying the influencing factors on the expansion of informal settlements in Khoy city.

Agricultural tourism is considered one of the strategies for the development of rural areas. In this regard, the purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting the development of agricultural tourism. The current research is of an applied type in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. Data collection has been done through the field method and a structured questionnaire. The statistical population of the research includes rural tourists in the study area. Meanwhile, sampling has been done by the simple random method. Also, according to Cochran's method, the number of the statistical sample is equal to 148 people. In order to ensure the validity of the research questionnaire, content validity, factor loading coefficient, combined reliability, and also Cronbach's alpha method were used to check reliability. Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS software and the structural equation modeling technique in Smartpls software. The results indicate that despite the high importance of socio-cultural, economic, facilities and services, environmental, and institutional components in the rural areas of Saman county, the quality of the mentioned factors was lower than average. Meanwhile, the institutional component has more unfavorable conditions than other components, which is caused by the existence of serious weaknesses in factors such as incentive plans, government participation and support, support systems, laws, and regulations, specifically in the field of agricultural tourism. Therefore, according to the factors affecting the development of agricultural tourism in rural areas, necessary measures to improve the situation of this type of tourism should be put on the agenda of the authorities.

In this study the values of potential reference crop evapotranspiration were calculated using the FAO-56 Penman Monteith method in six stations located in southern shores of Caspian Sea. Trends in annual ET0 values of the stations were analyzed using the Mann-Kendall test. Then to determine the relative importance of climatic variables on ET0 in a certain station factor analysis conducted. To do this, correlation matrix (R) of seven variables also called similarity matrix was constructed. The significance of correlation coefficients were tested. Results of trends in ET0 showed that in all the stations (except Noshahr) trends of annual ET0 were upward and significant. The slopes of trend lines were positive in all the stations. Factor analysis showed that the first two factors accounted the total variance in the range of 56.5 per cent in the Rasht to 79.6 per cent in the Sari. The largest loading of the first factor is attributed to sunshine hours in the station Rasht, however, it was maximum air temperature in all other sites. In the case of the second factor, the largest loading belonged to wind speed (in Rasht, Gorgan, Sari and Noshahr) and precipitation (in Ramsar and Astara). The findings of this study can be helpful in optimum management of regional water resources.

Off-road activity has increased significantly in different environments, especially arid regions and desert environments of the world, which can have negative effects on the ecosystem and different levels of desert landforms. This study is based on a qualitative, descriptive-analytical and quantitative method that examines and monitors the trampling of landforms in desert areas and emphasises the need to protect the Lut Desert as a unique natural and cultural heritage against anthropogenic factors. This study was conducted at two levels. In the first level, the effects of off-road were studied and monitored in different years, and in the second level, the region wind and its relationship to the persistence of off-road effects on the land of desert forms were analyzed. This study was conducted in the northwestern region of Shahdad clots to Shoor river at a distance of three thousand meters from Shahdad-Nehbandan road. First, Aphrodite works were obtained in digital satellite images and then the density of Aphrodite works was obtained at certain intervals and compared on both sides of the road. During different years, these digitized works were examined and monitored. Based on the obtained results, it was found that the density of off-road effects has an increasing trend and shows that in recent years, off-road riding in the Lut desert has attracted more tourists. At a distance of three thousand meters from the road, the density of off-road effects is about 14%. And at a distance of two thousand meters 6%. And at a distance of three thousand meters 01%. The result shows that there is a direct relationship between the distance from the road and the off-road density.

In the study, an attempt was made to extract the main factors and components that influence urban governance in the post-corona era by studying and reviewing domestic scholarly research articles, in order to then prioritize the aforementioned factors in a next step. Providing a conceptual framework for urban governance in the post-corona era is also considered a secondary objective of this research. This study is a documentary study and methodologically a qualitative survey study. The statistical population includes available articles published in valid domestic journals until the end of 2021 and relevant scientific databases were used for sampling. The innovation of the present study compared to previous and similar studies is that it takes a holistic and systematic view of urban governance studies and also examines urban governance research during the Corona era and afterwards using the qualitative meta-analysis method until the aforementioned method and the analysis of previous research has identified effective factors and components and prioritized them according to their importance. In relation to the most important factors and components affecting urban governance in the post-corona era, the results showed that the structural factor with three effective components (transparency, legality and justice-oriented) and the total score of the components is 21 in the first priority, the institutional factor with one effective component ( responsibility and accountability) and the total score of the components is 10 in the second priority, the individual factor with an effective component (citizen participation) and the total score of the components is 6 in the third priority, the cultural factor without having an effective component and with the total score of the components is 3 in the fourth priority and the spatial factor Also, without having an effective component and with a total score of 2 components, they are placed in the fifth priority.

Earthquake is considered as one of the most catastrophic and destructive types of natural hazards that cause extensive damage to property and assets, especially in urban areas, and cause many human casualties by destroying buildings and urban infrastructure. Therefore, the first and most basic step in crisis management in order to reduce the effects of an earthquake is to identify vulnerable levels against this crisis. In this regard, the present research was written with the aim of evaluating the level of vulnerability of Ardabil city against the earthquake crisis. The research method in the present study is mixed (quantitative and qualitative) with practical purpose and analytical and exploratory nature. The statistical population of the research also included managers and elites of Ardabil city, and the sample size was determined through the Delphi method of 20 experts. Also, in line with information analysis, have been used AHP technique in Expert Choice software, Weighted Overlay method in GIS software, and RADIUS damage estimation model. The findings of the research show that by examining 15 criteria, the criteria of distance from the fault, proximity to hazardous uses and access to service centers have the most importance (influence) to assess vulnerability to earthquakes. Also, according to the evaluation of the examined criteria and its integration in the fuzzy overlay method, it was found that about 13% of the tissue of Ardabil city is in the zone of very high vulnerability and about 18% is in the zone of high vulnerability. On the other hand, the results of the RADIUS model show that 13853 buildings are subject to destruction, 36% of them are in region 1 and 29% of them are in region 4. Also, the number of injured in the possible earthquake is estimated to be 67117 and the number of dead is 3113.
