Population growth and urbanization have reduced the per capita access to many social and economic facilities and its consequences have been manifested in a decrease in the quality of life in various urban areas.Tabriz metropolis, like most major cities in the country, is the bedrock of spatial inefficiency in the regions to benefit from public urban services, especially educational services. The need to pay attention to educational use as the most basic urban public services is very important due to the youth of our country. This research has analyzed the distribution of educational centers in Tabriz, especially girls' schools in the first and second secondary school, from the point of view of spatial justice. The research method is descriptive-analytical. In order to achieve the research objectives, GIS software has been used to determine the operating radius of these units and the per capita of these units has been calculated and compared with the standard per capita and the amount of shortage or surplus of these services has been determined. In order to rank these schools, indicators have been determined and these indicators have been weighed using the Topsis technique. Finally, the schools have been ranked from excellent to very poor in terms of the desired indicators and have shown their distribution in the city of Tabriz Has been. The result is that the largest number of schools are ranked as poor schools and only 7 schools are excellent according to the desired indicators, which are located in areas 1 and 3.The urban management of Tabriz metropolis needs to pay attention to areas deprived of the educational services index.

The Islamic city is an idea that has raised many questions about its nature and characteristics. In this regard, various scientific systems have approached it from different angles and tried to explain it. However, a critical review of the relevant literature reveals a high volume of misinterpretations and confusions about this idea and its related concepts, topics, and goals. Accepting the fact that the existence of mosques, domes and minarets in the context of a city can not mean that the city is Islamic, makes it clear that it must be in other elements and components and we should look for signs of Muslim life and patterns of an Islamic city not only in the body, but also the spirit and identity of cities. In the present study, the drivers of the Islamic city were extracted (qualitative part of the research) by studying valid jurisprudential sources (Quran and Nahj al-Balaghah), and then the quality of their realization in the metropolis of Tabriz was measured. The results obtained from the qualitative part of the research place the drivers of the Islamic city in three categories: monotheism and unity, justice and security. The results of statistical analysis show that Islamic manifestations and the realization of its principles in the city of Tabriz is not prosperous and requires planning to improve the quality of realization of these indicators

A resilient society is able to respond positively to changes or tensions and is able to maintain its core function as a society despite tensions. Natural hazards are one of the main threats to human societies. They overshadow their resilience. Earthquake is one of the most important natural disasters. Earthquakes are basically considered as uncontrollable phenomena. On average, there are 27 catastrophic earthquakes in the world every year, during which 19,000 people die and 36,000 people become homeless.Among these, the geographical area of Iran is one of the accident-prone areas where many natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, storms, droughts, firefighting activities and desertification are examples of which occur every year. In the meantime, the city of Tabriz is one of the largest and most important cities in Iran, which is located in a very high risk area, adjacent to the Tabriz fault and having a population of 1558693 people and the existence of huge human, cultural and History introduces Tabriz as the most dangerous city in terms of earthquake riskAccordingly, Tabriz fault is the most dangerous fault in the country

Senior tourism is receiving a lot of attention due to its capabilities and competitive advantages. Qom city is the second largest pilgrimage center in the country in national level, a potential market that can use its competitive advantage in attracting senior tourists by removing barriers of seniors’ travel.The purpose of this study is to provide a framework for identifying the direct and indirect impacts of barriers affecting the development of senior tourism in Qom city. The barriers to senior tourism development are classified into four main sectors of economic, social and cultural, managerial and organizational, government attitudes. This research is an applied research and the method is descriptive-analytical. Survey and library methods were used for data collection. The statistical population of the study consists of senior tourists and experts in tourism. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. The results indicated that four factors have a positive effect on the lack of development of senior tourism. The results of T-test also showed that all barriers were higher than the criterion level at the significant level of 0.05 and the highest mean is allocated to economic barriers (5.17) and lowest mean to managerial and organizational barriers (2.10). The most influential factor on the lack of development of senior tourism is economic barriers (with beta coefficient of 0.643) which explains 52% of the variance of senior tourism lack of development. The Tolerance coefficient of 0.923 also indicates that economic barriers are strong predictor and criterion.

Urban regeneration, as a comprehensive and integrated operational vision and approach, seeks to improve the economic, social, physical and environmental conditions of an urban community that has been subject to change; in a way that ultimately leads to a sustainable economic, physical, social and environmental development and improvement. Meanwhile, one of the ongoing problems of human settlements is biological hazards and epidemics such as malaria, influenza and coronavirus (Covid virus 19), which has faced many challenges in different parts of the world, especially cities in various economic, social, environmental and other dimensions. Therefore, there is a need for a framework for planning and regeneration approaches to future cities in order to deal with such risks. For this purpose, the present study has been written with the aim of developing applied knowledge in identifying the factors affecting the realization of sustainable urban regeneration of Tabriz in the post-Corona era. Therefore, the research method is applied in terms of purpose and analytical and exploratory in nature, and data analysis has been done using the Delphi method (15 elites and managers) and the application of cross-impact analysis technique in Micmac software. Based on the obtained results, the most effective among the studied components for sustainable urban regeneration of Tabriz in the post-Corona era are related to the components of information technology management in organizations in charge of urban affairs and emphasis on knowledge-based and knowledge-based management, emphasis on urban governance and urban management system integration, to create a mechanism to achieve the participation of citizens, private institutions and government organizations in the urban management system and the realization of a holistic view in the face of complex issues of cities.

Female spaces are important topics in urban studies. The performance of some of these spaces (such as jewelry stores) is such that they attract women's population in a meaningful way without the requirement of limiting the presence of men. Therefore, the present study intends to evaluate the pattern of gold shops in the urban spaces, while choosing two regions with different income status from Mashhad and show the visible differences in the distribution of such spaces (according to the income level of each region). and what unwritten rules does this model follow? The descriptive-analytical study method and the statistical population also includes all gold shops located in areas 1 and 5 of Mashhad (including 630 gold shops). In the first step, after creating a location database in ArcGis, the location of gold shops was determined based on the information available in Mashhad Municipal Union Bank. In the continuation of using 7 variables (from the locational characteristics of gold shops and the elements of the spatial structure of each region), including the absolute location, size, time of establishment of each gold shop, proximity to surrounding uses, roads and communication arteries, the population and the population of women, the spatial differences regarding the establishment of gold shops were investigated. . The investigated models include "density model", "center of gravity", "standard distance", "nearest neighbor", "spatial autocorrelation" and "spatio-temporal model". The results show that in developed areas, women's spaces are less consistent with the distribution of women's population, while in low-income areas, women's spaces are more compatible with local elements such as proximity to bus stations, local arteries, and residential spaces. . At the same time, the common point in this regularity is the prosperity of these spaces over time. which seems to lead urban spaces to become more feminine in the future.

Today, climate change and habitat loss are the biggest threats to wildlife. Therefore, accurate information on ecology and habitat requirements conserve species from these changes and identifying the most important factors to attract species and the development of habitat suitability maps can be considered a species protection process. After leopards and cheetahs, Caracal is the third biggest member of the cat family (Felidae) in Iran that has a key role in controlling of rodent populations and its habitat is mostly in arid areas. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to consider the effects of climate change on Caracal habitats and the distribution of the species under two climate scenarios RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 in the period of 2061 to 2080 in Iran by using the maximum entropy method. In this study, four groups of environmental variables are used: climat, topography, land cover, and land use. The results showed that distance from the conservation network, distance from sand dunes, and distance from dense forest areas had the greatest impact on the selection of suitable habitat for the Caracal at the present time and for the future time, the variables of mean temperature of warmest quarter and elevation had the highest importance on the distribution of Caracal. In addition, the study of Caracal's habitat suitability maps revealed that these species currently occupy only 13.2% of Iran, which have only 48.2% overlap with the current conservation network. While, in the future, the desired habitat rate of the species under the scenarios of RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 will be reached 30.9 and 27.4, respectively, and the amount of overlap with the current protected network will be reduced to about 66%, and the amount of overlap will have arrived at 17.8%.

Today employment is one of the most important indicators of development in the countries. The analysis of the employment process and its structure across the country and its various areas requires accurate knowledge of the potentialities and their composition in the areas , to create balanced planning and employment in each area. This research is descriptive-analytic and aims to analyze the spatial distribution pattern of public and private sector employees in Iranian Townships. The statistical population consists of 397 Township all over of Iran, whose statistics and data were from the general census of population and housing in 2016. In this regard, after collecting the data and theoretical studies of public and private sector employees, the spatial automation correlation model based on the Moran's I index and Spatial Statistics Tools used for spatial and Hot Spot Analysis with Rending. The results of data analysis indicate that the distribution patterns of public and private sector employees in the Iranian Townships is clustered (was not distributed uniformly in the different Townships). Also, according to the analysis of Hot Spots, the distribution of employees in the public and private sectors was observed, with the highest in Tehran and centralized in a radius of approximately 300 km from it (although Tehran itself is confined with a 95% confidence level), and the rest of the Townships have more balanced distributions.

From urbanization, the phenomenon of the urban temperature island follows which the city rises and increases from energy to cool. In this research, the role of local factors in the creation and development of heat islands in the city of Ahvaz during the hot period from 2000 to 2015 was investigated using Landsat 7 and 8 satellite data. In order to evaluate the biophysical changes of the land surface in Ahvaz city, the changes of vegetation difference indices were taken by Tokanga-Tag threshold method. By using the kriging method and the low speed zones of Ahvaz, the thresholds of the closest and maximum temperature of Ahvaz city, it appears that this change can cause a change in the local climate. The results of Moran's spatial autocorrelation are a confirmation of the lack of spatial correlation of ground surface temperature in Ahvaz. The evaluation of the northern maps showed that as we move from the southern regions to the northern regions, the temperature increases due to the increase of green space and the increase of barren lands. There is a sharp temperature difference between the central and suburban areas of the city, because of the establishment of industrial companies, District 8 has formed the most stable islands in this area of the city. Residential areas have had less impact on the creation and expansion of thermal islands than industrial and barren areas.

Widespread climate changes and their consequences on the economic, social, political, etc. fields have forced global societies to take serious decisions and change development strategies. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is an important factor in global warming, is one of these strategies. Cities, as centers of population and a variety of polluting activities, are important centers of greenhouse gas production. This issue is more visible in developing countries including Iran. In this regard, this research tries to identify the components and indicators that affect urban carbon reduction with the aim of investigating the theoretical foundations and background, and to analyze and present them for future urban plans and strategies. For this reason, the current research was conducted using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model, and it was conducted in survey and Desk search. The methodological approach of the research is also quantitative in terms of the type of data. The main tool for data collection is a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale. SPSS21 and AMOS23 software were used for data analysis. Finally, various fitting tests were performed and their usefulness was evaluated. The obtained results show that different components and indicators are effective on urban decarbonization with different impact levels. Factor loadings indicate the extent of their influence on the subject. Among the components and indicators, the options related to the preservation of forests, clean and pedestrian-oriented transportation, use of clean energy, etc., have received the highest factor load and have a warning sign on the policies adopted by the responsible bodies in the field. Moving towards the mentioned components is a big step towards forming one of the three sides of sustainable development.

Understanding the climatic potentials of the regions is very important for the diversity and talent of agricultural products. Barberry, one of the products of Iran, suffers from climate change and anomalies. In the present study, the phonological stages of barberry tree without any basis of field observations in Ghaen synoptic meteorological station were determined. To measure the accumulation of cooling needs based on the cold clock model and the Utah unit, the statistics of 18 valid meteorological stations from 1987 to 2017 on an hourly and daily time scale were used. The results showed that barberry needs six phonological stages to complete the growth period from early April to late November. The highest temperature requirement occurs in the ripening stage until fruit development. The cooling requirement of barberry tree in different stations varies from 1050 to 1960 hours depending on climatic conditions. Field observations showed that seedless barberry does not take on a full and commercial color if it does not meet the need for sufficient cooling. The study area was zoned according to the models of the cold clock and the Utah unit, based on which Ghaen and Zahedan stations have the highest cooling needs. Based on the validation indices of different models estimating the need for cooling, the root mean square criterion was used and the results show that the cold hour (CH) model has a higher performance due to the fact that the root mean square (RMSE) is less than the other model.

Problems caused by climate change are one of the most important environmental crises and threats of human society, especially in urban environments. In the city of Tabriz and in recent years, due to the growth of the population, a lot of migration from other cities, traffic, the development of industries and production centers have caused an increase in the production and distribution of pollutants. Based on this, in this research, attention has been paid to the evaluation of the quality of dust occurrence in the years 2019 and 2018. The concentration of dust particles in different areas of the studied places varies depending on the geographical location, topographical, climatic conditions and also their origin, both internal and external. Based on the results obtained from the analysis of laboratory results and field studies, in the Tabriz region and during the research period, the concentration of lead metal in dust is moderate for adults and severe for children, and the risk of mercury metal for both the elderly and children. It has been intense. The adverse effects of cadmium metal have been very severe in children and adults. On the other hand, the high air temperature in the city center and the formation of thermal islands in it causes local winds from the suburbs to the city center. With the transfer of pollution from the suburbs to the city center by these winds, the pollution situation in the city center also increases.

One of the important conditions for optimal use of land is obtaining information about landuse patterns and their changes over time. Landuse is usually defined based on human use of land, emphasizing the role of land in economic activities. Today, remote sensing technology is considered as the main element in landuse monitoring. The aim of the current research is to extract landuse maps for the years 2000 and 2021 in FirozabadKhalkhal region and to investigate the changes made in the studied time period in the region using the images of ETM and OLI sensors of Landsat. Also, checking the capability of basic pixel and object-oriented methods for landuse classification is another purpose of this study. In the current research, the object-oriented technique nearest neighbor algorithm and the vector machine method supporting the pixel-based algorithm have been used for landuse classification. Then, to verify the accuracy of these two methods, the overall accuracy and Kappa were extracted. The results of this evaluation show the high accuracy of the object-oriented method in extracting land use classes. Based on the results of the detection of landuse changes in the studied time period, the highest amount of changes occurred is related to the use of good pasture to poor pasture with a value of 51.72 square kilometers, followed by forest to good pasture with a value of 30.11 and the lowest changes It is related to the use of pasture and water with the amount of 0.03 square kilometers. The reasons for these changes are the increase in population, indiscriminate grazing of livestock, incorrect and illegal use of different lands. The use of more parameters such as scale, shape, compactness, color, texture, smoothness criterion and pattern for landuse classification in the object oriented technique can be considered as an innovation of the present study.

Ecosystem services include a wide range of direct or indirect services related to human well-being, which are obtained through biophysical processes, but their production, distribution and reproduction are influenced by the management of urban social and ecological systems. The whole effort of this research is to identify and categorize the integration obstacles of ecosystem services in urban planning. The method of this article is a meta-study, which examines the structure and content of selected studies in four analytical sections: meta-data, meta-method, meta-theory and meta- synthesis. The statistical population of this study includes 47 scientific-research articles in the period of 2010-2022. In the findings section, obstacles were classified into 31 categories, 9 combined categories and 3 themes (Structural, economic and epistemic). Lack of standard methods, weak participation of stakeholders, lack of awareness and ecological knowledge, thematic gap, lack of data and lack of budget and financial resources are the most important obstacles and challenges of this integration.

In this study, using images of Landsat-8, Landsat-7 and Sentinel-2 satellites in the coding environment of Google Earth Engine, their uses and changes during the two periods before and after urbanization (from 2000 to 2008 and from 2008 to 2019) will be categorized and then the next five-year development forecast of Sahand city (until 2025) will be made. Perceptron multilayer artificial neural network (MLP) method has been used as a method for predicting spatial multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). The independent variables used in the present study in predicting the physical development of the city are land price, type of use, slope, slope direction, altitude, distance from urban areas, distance from waterway network, distance from fault, distance from network Passages (main and secondary). The results of classification of satellite images showed that the physical development of Sahand new city has been done in order to turn barren lands into urban land. In addition, physical development was built to turn cheaper land into areas. The built lands have been greatly developed and from 64,155 square meters in 2000 to 682,192 square meters in 2019. Among the image classification methods for land use extraction, the SVM method was the best method and also the Sentinel-2 satellite images had the highest accuracy. The multilayer perceptron artificial neural network was used to predict the future physical development of the new city of Sahand, which according to studies, the development is predicted in directions that are based on the cheapness of the land and the limitations. Geomorphological is like slope and altitude.

Urbanization, which began in simple, centralized societies that were primarily reflections of different social forces, has led to significant environmental changes in cities, especially with the increase in urban population, which has led to the collapse of the urban services distribution system and the unequal distribution of citizens using urban services. The current study aims to evaluate the distribution of urban services in Yasouj city from the perspective of spatial justice and to identify the root causes of imbalances and inequalities to offer a suitable solution. This is because the issue of spatial justice is crucial to the distribution of urban services. This article used a descriptive-Causal research method. The distribution pattern of urban services was determined using the Average Nearest Neighbor (ANN) and network analysis index, and the contributing elements in the imbalance of urban services were determined using the Delphi technique. The relationship between the variables, their level of influence, the prioritization of each variable, and eventually the relevant measures to lessen the imbalance of urban services was determined after the elements in the MICMAC program were found. The results collected demonstrate the cluster distribution of urban services as well as the centralized, unprincipled, and ineffective distribution of these services at the level of Yasouj city's regions and districts. The analysis's findings also indicated that the unequal distribution of urban services in Yasouj city is mostly caused by permissive rules and regulations, high economic rents, and intense owner pressure. Finally, under the findings, suggestions for establishing spatial justice in the city of Yasouj and a fair allocation of services were made.

Skyline can be an effective component in explaining the spatial and qualitative features of the urban landscape. Ignoring this important category, as well as not observing the proportion between the height of the wall and the width of the street, leads to the creation of an abnormal appearance and in some cases, excessive confinement in city streets. It is obvious that the streets do not only have a physical dimension, but also represent life and dynamics in communities and cities. Therefore, skyline can be an effective component in improving the quality of the urban landscape.In this research, the library studies methods and field surveying have been used. ArcScene was used for height simulation and evaluation of the appropriate as well as the required analysis (skyline, skyline graph, etc.). The selected areas in the city were from the new fabric (less than 20 years old), middle fabric (about 50 years old) and old fabric (more than 50 years old). The results obtained from the skyline graph analysis show that the skyline pattern of South Shariati Street (old fabric) with an average of 74.06% has better view of the horizon than Imam Khomeini street with an average of 63.5% and Takhti street with an average of 55.66%. Also, this research explains the reason for the relatively irregular skyline caused by high density sale in Tabriz metropolis, the method of densification and height zoning of that area. The results of 3D analysis show the existence of a direct relationship between the heights of building. In this way, the more proportional the height of the buildings, the more open the space will be, and the wider the passage, the wider the radius of the skyline graph will be.

This article proposes ‘urban acupuncture’ as an emerging concept in the Iranian urban planning literature. It has endeavored to explain urban acupuncture and the learned lessons learned in the urban spatial analysis process. According to the model, the best way to provide structural and infrastructural development is to employ the existing potentials of the city within a network arrangement, valuing soft approaches, like urban acupuncture, to be able to recognize thousands of diverse points in the city for small-scale but effective interventions in the form of a coherent network. Urban acupuncture as a tool with a holistic and networked view of the city identifies the abandoned points. It reintegrates them as new intervention spots into the life cycle of urban green spaces to achieve the sought urban structure. Using the "urban acupuncture" approach with a deductive-analytical methodology from a network perspective in the historical center of Shiraz, this study tries to introduce the existing potential pattern of the abandoned points in the course of moving towards urban ecological sustainability. Thus, it can achieve procedural unity by development based on existing urban environment potentials. Finally, by applying the concept of urban acupuncture, the research tries to compare the urban green network and explain the necessity of this approach by orienting the urban redevelopment to rediscovering a wide range of repressed yet developable parcels within cities as an analogical framework. As such, this process could provide opportunities for designers to intervene in the neural network through the acupuncture approach by remodeling the ecological network and structural development of green spaces to improve urban environments.

One of the most important consequences of the rapid growth of urbanization and the physical development of the country's cities in the past decades is the breakdown of the distribution system of urban service centers, which has become the basis for social inequality of citizens and the level of enjoyment of urban services. In the meantime, medical services are of particular importance, so that the weakness and inefficiency of the management in the matter of providing optimal services in this field will have extensive negative consequences. In this research, we investigated the access of the population to the hospital as an integral part of a social organization that is responsible for providing complete health care including treatment and prevention measures in the population as an important measure in the health of the city in smartness. we paid In the current research, using the 2-step method of the floating basin, using network analysis and pre-processing of population blocks, to prevent the inflation of supply and demand, we have created the access limits of the population to the hospital. The results show that according to the growth of the urban population and the direction of these changes in each studied urban area, the population's access to the hospital is poor and limited population blocks have appropriate access, inappropriate distribution and dispersion in the location of hospitals and lack of planning regarding Increasing the approved beds and activating the beds are the things that cause the lack of easy and quick access to these services for the population of southern areas of Tehran.

In recent decades, mental health is one of the basic factors in the lives of citizens in developed countries. Paying attention to the fact that a large part of citizens' time is spent in urban spaces, it is important to pay attention to the physical components that lead to improving the mental health of citizens. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of physical components on the components of improving the mental health of citizens in the urban spaces of Tabriz. This study was conducted in terms of practical purpose and correlation method. First, research components were extracted in two categories: mental health components and physical components of urban spaces based on scientific principles, and then a questionnaire was designed to evaluate the effect of physical components on mental health. In this article, the statistical population is the citizens of Tabriz city, who use the two urban spaces of Ainali and El-Goli as the most important collective spaces. according to Cochran's formula, the sample size was determined as 384 people, the questionnaires were analyzed using Spearmon's correlation coefficient test in SPSS software. The physical components include spatial diversity, space flexibility, environmental issues, climate comfort, environmental facilities, privacy, legibility and visual beauty, and mental health including a sense of peace, personal security, mental images. Providing needs, happiness, sense of belonging and social interactions. The highest correlation belongs to the component of spatial diversity with the component of providing needs (0.478) and the lowest correlation to the component of climate comfort with the component of personal security (0.104). According to the findings of this article, the correlation between more than 90% of the physical and mental components is strong or moderate, and this result shows that the physical components have a high impact on the mental health of citizens.

Land subsidence as a geological and geomorphological disaster has serious negative effects in many countries and regions of the world. In this research, it was tried to use 5 images of Sentinel 1 satellite for the period of 27/02/2017 to 01/01/2021 in order to measure and calculate the land subsidence. For this purpose, the land subsidence was investigated in four time periods, and the results of these four periods show the maximum amount of subsidence in the first period of 17 cm, in the second period of 8 cm, in the third period of 5 cm, and in The last period was 12 cm. In terms of the spatial distribution of subsidence in all periods, the maximum subsidence corresponds to the western and northwestern parts of the plain. In order to measure the land subsidence potential in the Kermanshah plain, a possible subsidence map was prepared using a hierarchical analysis model. In order to do this, eight factors affecting land subsidence were used, including water level drop, land use, well density, land slope, well geological log, slope direction, soil geology, distance from the river. The final map of the risk of land subsidence shows that 50% of the area of the plain is in the area with a very high and high probability of subsidence, with the highest level of water level drop and the thickness of sediments , the high density of the number of wells and the type of agricultural use that in It is located in the western and northwestern part of the plain. Due to the fact that this part of the plain is also in the maximum range of land subsidence. Therefore, the comparison of the maximum subsidence in both mentioned methods shows the complete matching of the results.

Climate change is a key factor in most weather-related disasters worldwide. Regarding its distinctive geographical location and diverse climate, Iran has the most variable climate in the world. The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the MPI-ESM-LR model from the CMIP5 model series in predicting the monthly temperature of Iran under representative concentration pathway scenarios (RCPs) with the CORDEX-WAS project. In this research, for the historical period of 1980-2005, the daily air temperature data of 49 synoptic stations of the country and the MPI-ESM-LR model under the CORDEX project were used. Likewise, for the future period, from the predicted temperature data of RCP 8.5, RCP 4.5, and RCP 2.6 scenarios of the mentioned model in three periods of the near-future (2021-2050), mid-future (2051-2075) and far-future (2076-2100) was used. Validation of the model was done with three statistical indices: r, RMSE, and MBE. The results revealed that the model has a good performance. The slope of the temperature trend in station data and model data has been increasing in the historical period and the future period in RCP8.5 and RCP4.5 in all months, the temperature trend slope has been observed in every decade. In all months, the maximum anomaly of temperature under the scenarios studied in all three future periods can be seen in the northwest and western highlands. The eastern and southeastern regions of Iran have indicated minimum temperature anomalies, except in RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5, respectively, the southern coasts and the northeastern heights of the country also show minimum temperature anomalies. In the cold half of the year, the minimum area of temperature anomaly has been extended to the north-western heights and low-altitude interior regions of the country.

The sense of belonging to a place is an indicator by which one can measure the degree of distinctiveness of that place for people compared to other places. For this purpose, in the present research, an attempt has been made to investigate and analyze the sense of belonging to a place in rural areas and the factors affecting it. The current research is descriptive-analytical in nature, survey-type in execution, and field-type in terms of data collection method. The area under study is Shusef village, one of the villages of Shusef district, Nehbandan city, South Khorasan province. This village has 56 inhabited villages, of which 15 villages are the basis of the field study. After collecting data and analyzing them based on statistical tests, the findings indicate that the significance level in all three dimensions of the evaluation of the sense of place belonging is less than 0.05 and the average is higher than the median value of 3. Among these dimensions, the identity dimension has the highest average with an average of 3.89. In the variable of factors affecting the sense of place belonging, the results of the average comparison test show the significance and more than the average effect of each of the three dimensions on the sense of place. The results of the regression test show that the level of significance in all the factors affecting the sense of belonging to a place is less than 0.05, which indicates that these factors have a direct impact on the sense of belonging to a place. Among the three factors, the environmental-physical variable or place characteristics with a beta of 0.556 had the greatest impact on the sense of belonging to the place

The outputs of general circulation models (GCMs) usually have a bias compared to observational data, and some corrections must be made before using them to develop future climate scenarios. The bias correction methods are the standard statistical methods for processing the output of climate models. In this research, the effect of five bias correction methods on the projected precipitation of the GFDL-ESM4 model in the Lake Urmia basin has been evaluated. The methods used in this research include linear scaling (LS), local intensity scaling (LOCI), power transformation (PT), distribution mapping (DM) and delta change factor (DC). Statistical metrics such as the correlation coefficient, root mean square error (RMSE) and percentage bias (PBias) have been used to evaluate the accuracy of the corrected data in the period of 1990-2014 compared to the observational data and to choose the best method for correcting the data of future scenarios. research results showed that the delta change method significantly improved the raw estimates after correction; Therefore, this method was used to correct the data of scenarios SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5. In addition, the projection of the mean annual precipitation shows a decrease between 2 and 9 percent in SSP1-2.6, between 5 and 17 percent in SSP2-4.5, and between 8 and 26 percent in SSP2-8.5 compared to the observed data.

Organizing and producing space based on the principle of citizen rights is one of the basic needs in urban planning and design. Urban spaces should have the ability to provide welfare services for all classes with different abilities and weaknesses. The importance of honoring the disabled in the construction and upbringing of society shows the necessity of paying attention to the rights of citizens in the city. The current research, with survey-analytical method, seeks to analyze the theory of citizenship rights in the reproduction of the city space based on the needs of vulnerable groups in Zanjan city. Data collection was done with field and library studies. The statistical population includes 5560 people with disabilities in Zanjan city, of which 359 people were selected by Cochran sampling. Data analysis was done with variance analysis test, partial least square method with SPSS.19, Smart PLS.3 software. The findings showed that the average satisfaction of the citizenship rights index is 2.94. Based on variance analysis, there is a difference between the type of disability and citizenship rights. Because the public spaces of the city are not adapted according to the types of disabilities. The path analysis coefficient for the impact of the right to use urban space on citizenship rights is 0.802 and the impact of the right to participate is 0.824. As a result, city design based on the right to use the urban space and the right to participate strengthens the rights of citizens.

Population increase, urban sprawl and marginalization, demands entertainment, sightseeing, and the use of recreation spaces around cities. Afforestation canopy within the vicinity, in addition to the environmental benefits, can also meet part of the city dweller’s recreation needs. Therefore, the present study tries to identify the criteria and indicators for the designing of forest landscapes in the Southern Iran’s Sahara-Sindhi habitat and introduce them for ecotourism use. This research is based on reviewing previous research, questionnaires and using the Delphi method. Said questionnaires contain the following criteria: ecology, economics, social and infrastructure, that was compiled by the researchers and presented to a group of 15 respondents. Ecology’s criteria, with four sub-criteria and 25 indicators; Economics criteria, with two sub-criteria and 10 indicators; Social’s criterion with two sub-criteria and nine indicators and Infrastructure criterion with two sub-criteria and 27 indicators. Applying opinions from our panel of experts and calculating average scores, four criteria, 9 sub-criteria and 62 indicators were identified as " ecotourism-based afforestation designing for Southern Iran’s Sahara-Sindhi habitat". The results show that social, economic, ecological and infrastructural criteria are prioritized with scores of 35.1,35.0, 33.1 and 30.1, respectively. Based on the slight difference in social and economic criteria, it can be said that in designing such ecotourism destinations, local awareness, well-being, income, livelihood of local communities, efficiency of ecotourism and investment in the region are the most important aspects and should be prioritized, considering that the represented criteria all have very little difference in scores. Therefore, we could announce that all mentioned criteria are important and according to the respondents, they should be taken into consideration for afforestation designing.

Land displacement is known as one of the most obvious invisible effects of natural earthquake hazards. In the present study, the radar interferometric technique (SBAS) using the images of Sentinel 1 (2018 to 2021) was used to estimate the land subsidence, and the Landsat 8 image of 2018 was used to extract the land use classes in a part of the Sarab county. Also, the data obtained from the regional water organization has been used to investigate the condition of underground water in connection with the subsidence caused by displacement. According to the findings and survey of the land use map of the study area, the subsidence can be seen in different places and it reaches 9 cm per year around the agricultural areas and pastures. Also, in some places, the rising rate is estimated up to 12 cm. Examining the condition of aquifers shows a drop in the level of underground water in most stations, especially a sudden drop since the beginning of 2018. Considering that the direct relationship between groundwater withdrawal and subsidence has been fully proven; But after the 5.9 magnitude earthquake in November 2018, sudden changes have occurred in the subsidence of the region. Therefore, it seems that the subsidence of the region is more affected by the earthquake.

Tabriz city in East Azarbaijan province also has a high potential in terms of having natural attractions and suitable climatic conditions. In this research, in order to evaluate the suitability of a suitable ecotourism location using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and using the method (OWa) and Geographical Information System (GIS) were first examined according to the situation of the study area and the opinions of nature tourism experts and the evaluation of effective options in evaluating the spatial suitability of ecotourism development and all the options were converted into information layers and finally Using the AHP FUZZY technique with the OWA method in the GIS environment with the combination of 16 layers of information, the spatial compatibility map of the ecotourism development of the study area was prepared. Based on the results obtained from the spatial suitability map of ecotourism development in the study area, 52493.8 hectares or in other words 23.48% of the area is at a very favorable level, 50017.8 hectares or 22.38% of the study area is favorable and 1 51709/ or in other words 23/13 is at the average level. Also, the results of this research showed that the most unsuitable areas for the development of ecotourism include 24659.3 or in other words 11.03% of the entire area. The central region of Tabriz has a high potential for ecotourism. This area is in a very favorable condition in terms of research criteria. Thus, in terms of the most important criteria, i.e. distance from natural landscapes, distance from historical, religious and ancient attractions, and distance from facilities and services, due to its proximity to neighboring cities, including Tabriz itself, as the capital of the province, it has a good status compared to other parts of Tabriz city.

The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term fluctuations and trend in horizontal visibility in the northwest of Iran. For this purpose, hourly horizontal visibility data from 7 synoptic stations were used for the period of 1951-2020. The Koschmieder approach was used to calculate the extinction coefficient. Moreover, the Mann-Kendall and Rdit tests were applied to examine the trend of horizontal visibility. Also, the percentages of very good visibility (>19 km) compared with bad (<10 km) visibilities. Based on the results the annual average of horizontal visibility in northwest of Iran is ~13 km. This study showed three different fluctuation periods in the regional average of horizontal visibility: the first period (1951-1985) showed a sharp decrease in the visibility, the second period (1987-2005) was characterized by a low and stable visibility, and the third period showed a recent relative improvement. The regional average of horizontal visibility (extinction coefficient) exhibited a significant decreasing (increasing) trend of -0.167(0.0017) km per year at a confidence level of 0.01. The significant decreasing trend was confirmed in all stations except for the Ardabil station. The most severe decreasing trend was detected in Sanandaj and Zanjan stations with rates of 0.183 and 0.179 km year-1, respectively. The region-average of Rdit statistic in northwest Iran in the early 1950s was ~0.85, but it decreased to around 0.3 in the 1990s. Despite the recent improvement in horizontal visibility, reaching the reference distribution (i.e. Rdit=~0.5), the decreasing trend of horizontal visibility was still confirmed. The percentage of trend analysis of very good and bad visibility showed an increase in bad visibilities (from 5% to 25%) and a decrease in very good visibilities (from 80% to 5%), which confirms the decreasing trend in horizontal visibility. Hazy condition with 38.7% was the most influential weather phenomenon in visibility degradation.

Reduction in productivity of horticultural and agricultural products, increase in pests, reduction in quality of agricultural products, and threat to food security are the consequences of climate change. The impact of climate change on agriculture leads to an increase in risk and risk-taking in the field of agricultural activities. The results of the observational data review confirm the occurrence of climate change. The annual temperature anomaly of Bushehr province indicated an increase in the frequency of years with temperatures above the average from 1996 to 2021. According to the Pettitt's test, this increase is about 1.2 c˙. In addition, the significant increase in temperature at the 95% confidence level and Z values ≥ 2(in Mann-Kendall test) confirmed the occurrence of climate change in Bushehr province. The estimated data of the model for the future period confirm the continuation of the increasing trend of olive temperature thresholds for the period (2014-2040). The findings of the research indicated that with the increase in temperature for at least the following 20 years, the olive tree's cooling needs will not be met and the flowering season will occur in March instead of April. In the future, more areas will have an annual temperature of more than 26 °C. Therefore, in the future, the olive growing period will increase from 90 days to 150 days. With the increase in the number of days with temperatures above 40°C, the fruit burns more and the quality of olives decreases. Therefore, in addition to Asalouye and Dashtestan counties (1994-2019), Kangan, Jam, Deir and Dashti counties, the northern foothills of the province, and parts of Dilam (2017-2040) are added to the unsuitable olive areas. The favorable areas for olive cultivation will be moved to the west of the province.

The present study raised the issue of satisfaction with physical-spatial indicators of sustainability in the degree of satisfaction and loyalty of residents to the city, and the importance of sustainability indicators from the perspective of citizens and the performance of the city in their objective and subjective determination were investigated. The statistical population is the central population of Tabriz metropolis and the sample size was estimated to be 384 people. Questionnaires were analyzed using IPA and SEM methods. Considering the network analysis in the IPA method and specifying the priorities and importance and performance of the indicators, the findings were synchronized and analyzed using structural equations. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) fit indices, such as chi-square statistic (x2/FD) = 2.365, goodness of fit index (GFI = 0.961), comparative fit index (CFI = 0.972), fit index smoothed (NFI=0.936), Tucker-Lewis index (Tli=0.959), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA=0.029), and root mean square of standardized data (SRMR=0.035) was obtained. The value of RMSEA is less than 0.1, which indicates a very good fit of the model. The results show that resident satisfaction mediates the relationship between perceived overall performance and resident loyalty; the relationship between perceived overall importance and resident loyalty is mediated by perceived overall performance and resident satisfaction, and sustainable city performance increases people's understanding of sustainable development and increases people's understanding of sustainable development and residents' loyalty to the place of residence. The result was presented in the form of strategies in five content areas (access system, physical-spatial, landscape, activity and performance organization and urban use) and three procedural areas (legal, economic and urban management).

A major cause of landslide and relevant losses and fatalities is inappropriate land management, especially in mountainous areas and valleys. In this study, risk-vulnerability superimposed model was used to investigate the probability of occurrence of fatal landslides in Tarom Watershed. The risk-vulnerability superimposed model has been formulated to evaluate the landslide risk and vulnerability. These factors include topography, geology, number of streams, rainfall, frequency of faults, land use, density of roads, population density, and construction density, which were considered and analyzed in the present model. According to the model output (i.e., risk-vulnerability map), it was figured out that the eastern and northeastern parts of Tarom Watershed are exposed to highest levels of risk and vulnerability. That is, occurrence of a fatal landslide with financial losses is more probable in these areas, as compared to other parts of the watershed. Results of the present research showed that 17%, 35%, 23%, 16%, and 9% of the entire watershed area were classified as being exposed to very low, low, moderate, high, and very high risk-vulnerability levels, respectively. Advantage and superiority of this model over other models and methodologies for landslide study is simultaneous consideration of landslide occurrence risk and vulnerability of the study area to the landslide, making it capable of determining the areas of higher probability of fatal landslides with financial losses.

The rivers are the most important supplies of fresh and agricultural water in the cities and villages. The importance of chemical quality of waters is becoming increasingly important due to the increase and diversity of Anthropogenic activities in the urban and rural environments. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the trend of land use changes and the chemical quality of surface water in a period of twenty years in the Qaranquchai River in Hashtrud Ccounty. The Qaranquchai is one of the sub-basins of Qezel Ozen River in the northwest of the country. In this research, Land use maps for the years 2021 and 2001 were prepared and drawn using Sentinel 2 and Landsat 7 satellite images, and were examined their changes. The chemical quality data of surface water in the hydrometric stations of the Qaranquchai basin, including Mg, Ca, EC, TDS, Cl, HCO, SO4, K and Na were obtained from the Regional Water Organization of East Azarbaijan province from 2000 to 2020. Then, their changes over 20 years were analyzed using the Mann-Kendall test. The results of the analysis of land use changes showed that in 2001, the largest area of land use was pasture, while in 2021, rainfed land had the largest area in the Qaranquchai basin. In fact, during the studied years, with the increase of rainfed agricultural land from 38% to 53.1%, pasture land decreased from 60.17% to 42.3%. The results of the investigation of the changes of the chemical quality indicators of the water in the hydrometric stations in the Qarangochai river in the studied time period, showed that the trend of changes was increasing. The result of the increasing process of each of the anions and cations in the river water has caused its quality to decrease.

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

Introduction
Today, political ecology; It is a pluralistic thought that includes everything that was once exclusively the focus of attention. One of the most important consequences of the rapid growth of urbanization and the physical development of the country's cities in recent decades has been the disintegration of the distribution system of urban service centers, which has become the basis for the social inequality of citizens in enjoying these services.
Data and Method
The general population and housing census of 2015 and the map of Karaj metropolitan areas, statistical information on crime rate and addiction will be prepared and used from the police force organization; and the discussion of political ecology in the field of green spaces in the 1990s to 2023s will be investigated. In the field survey section, the opinions of experts will be used to determine the state of spatial justice of green space in the areas of Karaj metropolis.
Results and Discussion
Regions 8 and 11 have a high per capita population due to the small population and the large area of parks, the presence of family garden, apple garden, Fateh garden and small Iran. But other regions suffer from a severe lack of urban parks at the neighborhood to regional level, which requires proportional distribution according to the population of each region and taking into account the accepted standards in the field of per capita urban green spaces, especially parks. Parks should be done in the areas of Karaj city.
Conclusion
Another type of vegetation application is in the lands around the neighbourhood and its outskirts, which have been planted over the years by the municipality and the pastures and forestry organization. This covering has now formed the dominant natural appearance of the neighbourhood.

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.

The danger of earthquakes causes irreparable damage to societies. Therefore, it is effective to prepare to deal with it by identifying vulnerable points. Ardabil City is not exempt from this rule due to the existence of many faults, seismic points, and non-compliance with standards. Based on this, the current research seeks to measure and evaluate the vulnerability of Ardabil City against the risk of earthquakes. For this purpose, first by examining research sources related to the subject, some of the most important factors affecting the occurrence of this phenomenon were prepared as independent variables. Valuation and standardization of the layers were done by using the fuzzy membership function and weighting of the criteria, using the CRITIC method. Finally, modeling was done using the MARCOS multi-criteria decision-making method. The results of the study showed, respectively; The factors of distance from the fault, land use, and distance from the earthquake center have the greatest influence on the occurrence of earthquakes in the region with the weight coefficient of 0.110, 0.104, and 0.102. In addition, according to the results of the research, 16.67% of the entire city of Ardabil has a high vulnerability potential and 30.27% has a relatively high vulnerability probability. Also, based on the results of the research, Ardabil city is at an average level in terms of the level of vulnerability to earthquake risk, the cities of Hir and Arallo are in the high vulnerability category and Somarin city is in the relatively high vulnerability zone. In addition, according to the findings of the research, 22.86 and 30.86 percent of the settlements and villages of Ardabil, respectively; In the area with high and relatively high vulnerability, 13.14% in the area with moderate vulnerability, and respectively; 22.28 and 10.86% are located in the area with relatively low and low earthquake vulnerability.

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.

Considering the challenges ahead in the way and type of management of free zones, including non-democratic management structure, unstable income, achieve a bright future for the Aras Free Zone, it is necessary to identify and outline the key drivers. The current research, with the perspective of future research, tries to identify the vital factors affecting the state of good governance in Aras Free Zone and investigate the effect of these factors on each other. This research, in terms of practical purpose and from library methods, survey, its nature is based on new methods in future research with an analytical and exploratory approach, using quantitative and qualitative models and analysis methods and structural cross-effects, such as Micmac and Delphi method. has benefited Based on this, during numerous discussion sessions and opinion gathering of experts and expert group of Aras Free Zone, 15 people as a statistical sample of the target population, 60 items or variables were identified in the form of 8 main indicators of good urban governance. Then, the above variables were weighted in the form of a 60x60 matrix of cross-effects by the elite group and defined in the Mic Mac software. What can be understood from the state of the dispersion map of the variables is the instability of the system. Therefore, according to the ranking of the direct and indirect effects of the variables and their scoring, the number of 21 variables that had more weight in both cases were identified as the main drivers of good urban governance in the free zone. Among the variables, citizens' and officials' trust in each other has the highest score and the most vital factor affecting good urban governance in Aras Free Zone, and administrators' adherence to the law, strategic vision, and social justice are ranked in the next ranks.

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. For this purpose, the Delphi method was used to identify the influential factors, and the result was the identification of 72 factors in 6 different areas, then the mutual effects analysis method was used to extract the key influential factors, and as a result, out of the total of 72 factors, 26 Factors were identified as key factors.

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.

The ineffectiveness of urban comprehensive plans in facing the complex issues of Iran's urban planning system, finally caused a change in the approach of compiling these plans from a purely physical approach to a spatial-strategic approach as a new approach in the conditions of urban planning in Iran, and the preparation of urban development plans with this approach was approved by the Iran Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Architecture in the summer of 1400 AH. But, the important point in this way is to pay attention to providing the necessary capacities to prepare plans with this approach. Therefore, the main goal of the current research is to analyze the challenges of using this approach with an emphasis on the challenges of its participatory aspect, which was done based on the pathology of obstacles to the participation of stakeholders in the experience of Isfahan Comprehensive Plan as the first plan prepared with this approach. The research method is qualitative and based on it, the data collection method includes in-depth semi-structured interviews and refer to documents, and the qualitative content analysis method was used in the data analysis. The findings of the research showed that participation in the preparing Isfahan Plan by all three stakeholders, including the public sector, civil society and planners, has faced many challenges and these challenges consist of three main categories of institutional environment, structural factors, and content and procedural characteristics of the manuscript of the new approach, And it seems that until the participation is not institutionalized in the planning context of Iran and the attitude of the stakeholders towards participatory planning is not changed the transition to the new approach will not be practical and this change of attitude will remain only at the level of changing the discourse

The current research was carried out to analyze the changes in precipitation in northwest Iran during the coming decades based on GCM models. For this purpose, first, the precipitation of 1985-2014 was trended based on the Mann-Kendall test. Then, the daily precipitation data for each of the studied stations was simulated in SDSM6.1 software for 1985-2014. Then, under the scenarios (SSP2-4.5) and (SSP5-8.5) of CanEsm5 and MPI-ESMI-2HR models, the precipitation of 2015-2043 was predicted. To evaluate the performance of CMIP6 models and compare the basic and predicted values, MSE, RMSE, and MAE statistical measures were used. According to the results of the Man-Kendal test, the precipitation of the base period in the stations of Tabriz, Ardabil, Urmia, Takab, and Maragheh has a decreasing trend and in the stations of Meshginshahr, Sardasht, Mako, Khalkhal, Sarab, Jolfa, and Parsabad it has an increasing trend. Among the 12 investigated stations, only the Maragheh station had a significant decreasing trend. In other stations, precipitation trends were not significant. According to the predictions made based on the mentioned models, under the medium scenario (SSP 2-4.5), the precipitation will decrease in late winter and early spring. In other months, especially summer and autumn months, the percentage of precipitation will be higher. Based on the SSP5-8.5 scenario, the highest percentage of precipitation decrease in the MPI model was predicted by 33% in Jolfa, Sardasht, and Maragheh stations, and in the CanESM5 model, about 33-35% in Jolfa, Takab, and Urmia stations. According to the results, although both models predicted precipitation with a relatively high error, the MPI model had a lower error and more accuracy in predicting precipitation than the CanESM5 model.

Heavy rainfall is considered one of the climatic features of precipitation that can occur in any climate, but its occurrence in arid and semi-arid climates, due to the lack of adequate and appropriate infrastructure, is associated with greater damage. These rains occur under different synoptic conditions. In this study, the role of atmospheric rivers in the formation of heavy rainfall has been investigated. For this purpose, heavy rainfall data from stations in the west and northwest of the country were extracted for a 33-year period. Then, precipitation systems were separated in conjunction with atmospheric rivers. In the next step, using weather maps and the troposphere's underlying layer levels, synoptic patterns that lead to the formation of atmospheric rivers were identified. The results showed that atmospheric rivers were responsible for heavy rainfall in the study area, following three general patterns. The Sudanese low-pressure pattern and the combined pattern of Sudanese low-pressure and Mediterranean cyclone were responsible for the most significant role in the formation of atmospheric rivers leading to heavy rainfall, respectively. In the Sudanese low-pressure pattern, two to three days earlier, a broad tongue of Siberian high pressure spreads over the warm waters of the Oman, Arabian, and Aden seas, passing through Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the eastern part of Iran. This tongue, with the rotation of moisture, escapes from the Sudanese system. The Mediterranean trough deepens over western Asia and northeast Africa, and this moisture is strengthened along the southern currents and, by passing over the mountains,leads to the formation of atmospheric rivers. In the combined pattern, with the expansion of the Sudanese low-pressure tongue to the eastern Mediterranean and western Asia, the southern warm waters' moisture is released onto this region with the transport of moisture from the Mediterranean, it is strengthened, leading to the formation of atmospheric rivers.

The excessive increase of cities and their uneven growth due to natural population growth and excessive migrations is one of the fundamental problems of our country's urban network. Cities grow differently, including internal or endogenous development, connected or continuous urban development, and detached urban development. However, the issue of importance is how physical growth and development are formed and the extent and manner of expansion of cities, which has brought various economic-social and primarily environmental consequences. The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze the factors affecting the physical development of Piranshahr City and its environmental consequences for the future development of the city and to control and guide its determining factors and forces. To analyze the data from factor analysis methods, multivariate regression analysis (using SPSS software), as well as the use of Landsat 8 satellite images and the Crosstab model in the years 1365 to 1395 in two fifteen-year periods for the city of Piranshahr, and with The use of satellite image processing techniques and geographic information system have been evaluated and analyzed. The results of this article showed that the built area of Piranshahr city has increased from 144 hectares in 1365 to 958.77 hectares in 1395, which indicates a physical expansion of 6.5 times for this city, which is the result of population increase (natural growth - migration) and change of land use (agriculture, orchards, barren lands) to urban built lands.

RFID enables the automatic identification, tracking, and management of objects, humans, and animals using radio frequency communication. RFID function depends on two tag and code readers that use radio waves to communicate with each other. In this study, RFID is an electronic payment system that uses a tag to pass tolls. The RFID tag is unique to each vehicle and connects to the windshield or headlight with a built-in radio frequency chip. The RFID tag attaches to the Touch 'n Go eWallet software. When a vehicle passes through tolls, an overhead scanner reads the radio frequency from the RFID tag, deducts the fare, and is chargeable. RFID is targeted at the toll system to be able to quickly identify objects, thus providing time savings and revolutionizing payment management. The purpose of this study is to introduce RFID technology and explain the need to use it to electronicize road tolls and subsequently make cities smarter. The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey based on its nature and method. The statistical population consists of 50 experts and officials of the Road Traffic Control Organization, Mashhad Municipality ICT Organization, personnel present at the entrance gate of Mashhad-Baghcheh tolls and 100 drivers passing through this highway. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Considering the level of significance of the test, it can be said that this technology can be used in cities and the results indicate that by equipping cars with RFID technology, complete management and supervision of highways, information management, accident management, location management and complete driver management Facilitates own driving.

Formulating a research program strategy based on the goals and policies of the upstream and making it operational based on the capacities and facilities is one of the important and basic measures that have been carried out in the Agricultural Research, Education, and Promotion Organization (TAT). Part of this program is strategic identification and priorities, economic and social research of agriculture and rural development. which has been done using descriptive, survey,and field research methods, using the SWAT technique.After reviewing the above documents,expert meetings were held with the presence of experts and experienced researchers in the field of economic and social research in the agriculture and rural development sectors in the country. The results show that among the 11 weak points examined,three cases are climatic diversity, the information obtained from studies, and the existence of legal capacity,and among the 21 weak points examined,territorial fragmentation, the absence of a positive economic and social attitude in research and program. Planning the development of the sector is of great importance.Also, among the 14 investigated opportunities, two cases are the orientation of the sector towards knowledge-based and the possibility of increasing the production capacity of agricultural products,and among the 11 investigated threats,two cases are the lack of practical belief in the proper structure and little attention to research results in planning. They have great privilege and importance. Based on the results of internal factors and external factors, the evaluation matrix shows that the current state of agricultural economics and rural development research is in the defensive area. In other words, trying to maintain the status quo.For 9 research areas in 14 research axes,more than 700 economic and social plans/projects have been identified, for their implementation, it is necessary to provide facilities, credits,and expert human resources with the participation of the private sector and universities.

Objective: This research was conducted with the general purpose of investigating the behavioral tendencies of rural tourists based on the consumption value of local food.
Research Method: The statistical population of the research included all tourists in the rural areas of Shushtar. The main research tool was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by a panel of experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability.
Research Innovation: Shushtar County is one of the historical regions of Khuzestan province, which has been registered in UNESCO, and domestic and foreign tourists travel to this city every year. This city has many different local foods that have increased the desire of tourists to these areas. But so far, this has not been done in an official research. Therefore, this research tries to investigate the factors affecting tourists' willingness to use local food.
Findings: The results showed that the multiple consumption values of local food (value of taste/quality, health, price, emotional, social, interactive and cognitive) have a positive and significant effect on the attitude of tourists towards local food and the image of the tourist destination. In addition, the results showed that the attitude of tourists towards local food has an effect on the occurrence of positive behavioral responses from them in the future (intention to recommend local food to others and intention to visit again for food tourism). In general, the results of this research showed that the value-consumption theory is an efficient theory in this field because all its assumptions were significant in the present research and explained a large part of the variance of tourists' behavioral responses. Therefore, this research can help rural development planners to use the potential of local food tourism in rural areas, which are prone to economic prosperity.

In recent decades, urban population growth has led to an increased demand for food resources. In such a context, innovative approaches such as urban agriculture development have been proposed. The present study aims to investigate the trends in urban agricultural land changes within the boundaries of Marivan city from 1972 to 2022. It seeks to assess the available land, potentials, and strategies for the development of urban green spaces based on urban agriculture principles. The research methodology employed a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing Landsat satellite imagery for data collection. Radiometric and atmospheric corrections were applied, along with the NDVI index using ENVI software. After generating maps, the evolution of land use changes and the extent of available land for urban agriculture in the study area were examined for the year 2022. Furthermore, this research provides practical solutions and recommendations for the implementation of urban agriculture in Marivan city, based on its potential. A noteworthy aspect of this research is its intention to explore the suitability of land and potentials for urban agriculture in Marivan as a new model for developing urban green spaces. The results of the study indicate that urban agricultural lands have gradually decreased over various periods from 1972 to 2022 due to the city's growth and other human activities in peri-urban areas. However, as of 2022, approximately 2,799 hectares of land are available for urban agriculture, serving as a new model for the development of green urban spaces in Marivan. Several factors contribute to Marivan's success in maintaining agricultural lands and orchards in peri-urban areas. These factors include its favorable climate and geography, strategic location, proactive policies, water resource management, commercialization of agricultural products, prevailing economic conditions, and a substantial labor force. The region has experienced relative climatic stability, ensuring the sustainability of its agricultural lands and orchards.

These settlements lose the ability to return to normal in times of crisis. The present research was conducted with the aim of analyzing and measuring the social resilience of the residents of Chabahar's informal settlements (Kamb, Moradabad, and Ramin) and also the effect of socioeconomic status on social resilience. In conducting the research, the descriptive and analytical method was used and in collecting information from the documentary and library method with the approach of a systematic review of related sources, in order to identify the main criteria of social resilience and the conceptual model of social resilience was formulated with the analogical method. Subsequently, the degree of importance of each criterion was evaluated through the distribution of the questionnaire extracted from the components of social resilience in a targeted manner and the analysis of the obtained qualitative and quantitative data. The sample size was calculated based on Cochran's formula of 381 questionnaires and distributed by simple random sampling method. In this research, data and information analysis have been done through statistical tests including correlation tests, analysis of variance, Wilcoxon test, one sample t-test, and post hoc test. The findings of this research show that in terms of social indicators, the Kamb neighborhood with an average of 3.358, and the Moradabad neighborhood with an average of 3.015 have the highest and lowest social indicators, but in terms of environmental indicators, Moradabad neighborhood with The average of 3.333 and Remin neighborhood with 3.044 have the highest and lowest average of this index. Taking another look at the results, we find that it is the Kamb neighborhood that surpasses the other two neighborhoods in terms of economic and cultural indicators, and the results make it clear that the Kamb neighborhood is more resilient than the other two neighborhoods in Chabahar city.

Governments and societies have historically divided their territories into different regions and areas to better manage their land and preserve the territorial integrity of their country. This practice is now related to the concept of spatial planning, particularly "Territorial Zoning". Territorial Zoning aims to achieve cohesive management and the National Division of Labor, as well as utilize the potential of different regions to reduce territorial inequalities and imbalances. In Iran, Territorial Zoning has been implemented by various organizations over the past decades, with the most recent division into nine major regions in 2017. In this descriptive-analytical research, the extensive literature on Spatial planning and Territorial Zoning plans in Iran is reviewed, providing a comprehensive history of these programs. The research then critiques and analyzes these programs. The most important criteria influencing land zoning are identified and prioritized using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and the opinions of experts. According to the findings, the most important criteria for Territorial Zoning are "cultural-social", "defense-military", and "political-administrative". The sub-criteria of "environmental issues", "level of regional development", "population distribution", "government pattern and type", and "threats and security issues" are also deemed important. Based on the findings and results of the research, the authors propose their own Territorial Zoning plan in the form of ten major regions. This research contributes to the understanding of the history and current state of territorial Zoning in Iran and provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners in the field of Territorial Zoning and spatial planning.

The city is not only a collection of buildings, but a phenomenon beyond a building complex. Therefore, a city cannot be considered unique only in the collection of buildings. One of the dangers that threaten many cities in the world is earthquakes. Earthquake has long been one of the most dangerous natural hazards and has a high risk. Earthquake risk is an expected damage that will cause damage to elements of society or the environment. For this reason, the protection of the city against earthquakes cannot be considered only in retrofitting and building earthquake-resistant buildings. The connection of the northwest of the country has been done after obtaining the opinions of experts in earthquake and passive defense and urban planning, the necessary investigations and analyzes were carried out using Vikor and TOPSIS fuzzy models, and the result of the model was shown using GIS software as a vulnerability map of the display areas. has been given and finally, areas 2, 3, 7, 4, Tabriz metropolitan municipality with less vulnerability and areas 10, 5, 1, 9, 6 and 8 located in the northeastern and northern areas of the city have been identified as unsuitable and critical. and the causes of vulnerability were expressed and solutions to control vulnerability were presented using data and matching the results of models.

In the present research, the evaluation of land use changes in Mahabad county in a twenty-year period from 2000 to 2020 and the prediction of its possible trends until 2040 have been discussed. In this research, the images of ETM and OLI sensors of Landsat satellite in three years of 2000, 2010 and 2020 and the supervised classification have been used to detect the changes that have occurred. In addition, in order to simulate land use changes, Markov model and cellular automata have been used. Based on our results, the highest trend of increase was related to the built-up lands and the highest trend of decrease was related to the water bodies of the region. In other words, the area of built-up lands increased from 2367.67 hectares to 71006.08 hectares. Besides, the area of water bodies has reached from 9266.63 hectares to 1164.28 hectares, respectively. In addition, based on the results of the Markov model, it is expected that the trend of land use changes will decrease the area of agricultural lands by 1473.1 hectares, orchards and forests by 810.11 hectares, pasture land by 16455.4 hectares and water bodies by 545.69 hectares. On the other hand, these changes will be accompanied by an increase in the area of barren lands by 11831.72 hectares and built-up lands by 7448.42 hectares. Therefore, the possible trend of changes indicates an increase in the level of barren lands and built-up lands and a decrease in other land uses. The results of the present research highlighted the need to pay attention to the challenge of land use change in Mahabad county and can provide a proper understanding of the dimensions, trends and patterns of land use in the region to officials, researchers and local people.
