In order to achieve sustainable urban development which is based on consultative management of developmental plans, an appropriate capacity needs to be built. Capacity building in urban neighborhoods can be conducted through understanding citizens' abilities and engaging them in urban plans. The communication between the citizens and urban governors plays the most important role in sustainable formation of urban neighborhoods, management of optimal quality of life, conditions of residential neighborhoods, and sustainable urban development. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of consultative management performance on physical sustainability of urban neighborhoods. Survey method was utilized to collect data. In so doing, a "structured questionnaire" that was designed based on internal and external sustainability indicators was applied. The target population included four main neighborhoods of Piranshahr. A sample of 382 individuals was selected through Cochrans' model. Statistical tests were conducted to check the sustainability of every single indicator. Then, the urban neighborhoods were ranked based on Vikor model. Finally, the results showed that the target indicators had a significant effect on the sustainability increase of the urban neighborhoods such that the people's participation affected neighborhoods sustainability in the town. Finally, based on Vikor model the results showed that neighborhood 2 with a sustainability rate of Q=0.55 had more favorable conditions compared to the other neighborhoods.<strong>Abstract</strong> <br />Management of towns as wide organizations through local communities can be interpreted as a means of both mutual interactions and the effect of physical structure on individuals.

In addition to the damages caused by landslides on roads in <br />towns and villages, the natural environments are also affected by soil <br />erosion. The study area with an area of about 80,000ha is located in <br />the west of Khoy city, northwest of Iran. Some landslides have <br />occurred on the southern slopes which verge on the roads and <br />frequently damage the main road, Iran-Turkey railway and several <br />villages, such as Gougerd and upper Kalt village. Due to the proximity <br />of the study area to the main roads and residential areas and the <br />existence of several historical mass slides, evaluation of landslide <br />hazard and preparing a risk map is necessary. In this research, the <br />potential landslide zoning map was developed by evaluation of each <br />parameter influencing landslide including lithology, slope geometry, <br />geological structures, relative elevation, land use and coverage and <br />ground-water.
