  The areas of natural resources and vegetation in the Taft and Mehriz townships in recent decades have undergone changes due to its close proximity to the capital of Yazd province. The purpose of this study is to assess the extent and direction and prediction of land and vegetation changes in these two cities. In this study, Landsat 5 (1998, 2004 and 2008) and Landsat 8 (2017) satellite images in the period from May to June was used. Modeling land use/land cover changes were carried out based on supervised classification. The process of changes was analyzed using land change modeling and perceptron neural network method. The results showed that 3% (558.8 ha) of land and vegetation cover of Taft to Bayer and 1.3% (209.9 ha) were added to the urban lands and reduced from the lands of gardens by 4.3% (559.2 ha), this is the highest rating. The amount of 2.8% (678.8 ha) of land and vegetation in Mehriz Bayer and 1.7% (184 ha) has been changed to urban residential land. In terms of urban expansion, Mehriz has had the highest amount of reducing vegetation. The results show that land use and land cover changes in Taft city where more than Mehriz city so that most of these changes were related to gardens, but in terms of area of land use and land use conversion in Mehriz city has the highest value More intense.

  Social trust is one of the most fundamental elements of the strength and solidarity of societies. This issue is more important among students who are the future generations of any society. One of the factors that, according to the cultural-value system ruling Iranian society, has a strong role in the social confidence of students, is religiosity. Based on this, the present research examined the effect of religiosity on students' social trust. The research method was survey type. The statistical population was the secondary school students of Mehriz city, 250 of whom were selected and studied using stratified sampling method. The tool for collecting research data was a questionnaire. The findings of the research showed that the level of social trust of students is higher than average. Social trust among male students is significantly higher than female students. The linear regression estimate shows that the effect of religiosity variable on students' social trust is equal to (Beta = 0.40) and statistically significant. However, there is no significant difference between male and female students in terms of the effect of the religiosity variable on social trust. In other words, gender variable does not moderate the effect of religiosity variable on social trust. Manuscript profile
