The aim of the current research is to provide a structural-interpretive model of sustainable tourism indicators in Damavand city. In terms of the purpose of the present research, it is of the basic-applied type of research, which on the one hand, with document-library studies to examine the dimensions, definitions and theoretical framework of the research, and on the other hand, with detailed field observations, as well as referring to relevant organizations and departments to collect data and information. It is necessary in the scope of the study to achieve the research questions. In terms of the method of data collection, it is done using a mixed method (quantitative-qualitative), temporally and spatially in Damavand city. The analysis of research data was done in two ways, the first one was done by using descriptive statistics techniques and the other one was done by using inferential statistics techniques. After that, we used structural-interpretive equations to determine the relationships between sustainable tourism indicators from the residents' point of view and finally to draw the model of sustainable tourism in Damavand city. The results of structural equations showed that the greatest power of influence is related to socio-cultural indicators and then natural indicators. Economic indicators, planning and management indicators and service-infrastructure indicators were all at the same level. The lowest power of influence was related to advertising indicators.

Mental health disorders pose a significant threat to human well-being, particularly affecting urban populations. Despite the paramount importance of addressing urban mental health, effective strategies for improvement remain elusive. This concern has garnered heightened significance in Tehran, a city with a pressing need for viable solutions. This research aims to identify key strategies to enhance the mental health of the city. Employing a descriptive-analytical research method, the study utilizes content analysis and structural analysis to pinpoint crucial solutions. The findings reveal that three primary strategies — the formulation and execution of a comprehensive mental health plan, the integration of aesthetically pleasing urban design to promote mental well-being, and the adoption of innovative approaches such as mobile health programs and online services — are deemed pivotal variables. Consequently, the implementation of these solutions holds the potential to significantly enhance urban mental health in Tehran.

The tourism industry, ranking as the third-largest sector, plays a crucial role in providing economic resources for cities. Effective management of tourism potential can create substantial income and support sustainable urban development. This research aims to identify challenges obstructing urban tourism development, focusing on Ardabil city as a case study. Employing a descriptive-exploratory approach, the study involves experts familiar with Ardabil's tourism industry as the research population. Fifteen experts were selected using the snowball sampling method as the statistical sample. The questionnaire's reliability was assessed through the retest method, yielding an initial correlation of 0.780 and a repeated correlation of 0.763, indicating acceptable reliability. Validity was ensured through content analysis, with data analyzed using Structural Interpretive Modeling (ISM). Findings reveal that an organization with an influence power of 8 has the greatest impact, while socio-cultural challenges hold the least influence at 5.

Purpose :The main objective of this research is to provide a multi – level analysis of success factors in Islamic banking using a structural - interpretive and recursive approach . The present study is considered applied research in terms of its approach .
Reseach Methodology: The perssent study is considered in terms of its purpose and a mixed research method in terms of its approach. The data collection tools include an expert questionnaire and the poplation consists in the fild of banking. Purposeful sampling method was used to select the sample individuals , and data analysis was performed using Excel software . Subsequently , the pattern of Islamic banking was catrgorized using structural - interpretive modeling . In the present study the factors were categorized into six levels . Finally , the structural - interpretive model was tested in form of a recursive quantitative model.
Findings: Based on research findings the relationships between variables showed positive path coefficients . The t – statistics of the relationships were reported to be statistically significant at %95 confidence level. Examination of the path coefficients of the inter relationships between variables at horizontal levels indicated that the interrelationships were reported in a matrix form and were statistically significant ..
