The current trend of growth and development of urban and residential areas and the resulting regional changes have been proposed and introduced as one of the main challenges to define development strategies in urban areas. Material and Methodology: Today, achieving appropriate methods of measurement and evaluation and planning at all levels is supported by managers in urban areas. Although different factors such as location and natural, environmental, ecological, edaphic characteristics, social, cultural, economic and even political conditions are taken into consideration in the existing models and methods for land preparation and land allocation for different uses, it can be stated that in some of them, such as CLUE-S and AEZ models, only the change of land use, including agriculture, pasture and forest lands, has been considered. Now, the arguments about the planning of urban areas in relation to land allocation, research events in the field of land use in the form of principles and concepts of land planning have been more emphasized. Finding: The present study aimed to model the allocation and zoning of urban land in the form of a case study in the city of Chadegan, located in Isfahan province, and also the modeling was performed using the integration of spatial modeling methods and multi-attribute decision making with balanced score card methods and clean production in the environment of geographic information systems. Discussion and Conclusion: The result of the research presented a descriptive model based on scoring 22 indicators related to 4 social, environmental, ecological and economic criteria or components. Thus, by identifying the features and attributes of each of the components and preparing thematic maps related to them based on the scores of each of the 22 indicators in the environment of geographic information systems, it is possible to allocate and zone urban lands in 4 situations including unfavorable, relatively favorable, favorable and highly favorable according to the type of users in urban areas.

Panel generalized method of moments and provincial data from 2015 to 2020 used to analyze the relationships between variables. Findings show that financial inclusion leaves a negative and significant effect on the unemployment rate in urban and rural areas of Iran. On the one hand, financial inclusion increases entrepreneurs’ and economic firms’ access to financial credits by reducing transaction costs and by increasing information transparency, which in turn leads to an increase in production capacity and a decrease in the unemployment rate; On the other hand, increasing the access of low-income people to borrowing leads to an increase in investment in human capital and, as a result, a decrease in the unemployment rate. Also, economic growth and human capital have a negative significant effect, and the real wage has a significant positive effect on the unemployment rate in urban and rural areas of Iran. According to the research results, in order to use the benefits of financial inclusion to reduce unemployment in the country, it is necessary to adopt effective policies in the field of training and increasing the financial literacy of individuals in deprived areas to participate in the financial sector, increasing investment to promote innovative financial technologies, expanding banking hardware and improving the infrastructure of the payment system.

On the other hand، the issue of citizen participation in the economic and social development of cities, has been considered in urban development studies and planning since several decades. Therefore, it will be a livable society that cares about the needs of the people of that society, respects their demands, and does not neglect the participation of citizens in the affairs of the city. The purpose of this article is to identify the relationship between social participation as one of the components of social capital and urban livability. To achieve this goal, a descriptive-analytical survey method has been used and to collect information, a researcher-made questionnaire has been applied. To analyze the research data, SPSS، GIS، super decision software has been used. The statistical population includes citizens of the five regions of Zahedan that 383 residents have been selected and studied by cluster sampling with systematic random sampling. The results of ranking the regions in livability indicators show that region 1 as a new region with a proportional distribution of land use and urban services، adequate access to educational and health services، security and urban environment is a relatively desirable region in Zahedan and region 3 with informal and turbulent housing texture is the most undesirable region in terms of social livability. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient test show high correlation between the components of social participation and the dimensions of social viability in the areas of Zahedan; this indicates that the more social participation among the citizens of Zahedan, the better the city is in terms of social viability.

Urban planning requires recognition of areas and regions in terms of development. Alleviating injustice in attaining resources and facilities is one of the criteria of development. The concept of development involves balanced distribution in addition to comprehensive growth. The balanced distribution of facilities is a step toward removing regional differences and appropriate dispersion at city level. The Balanced development of places necessitates a precise and comprehensive investigation of economic, social, and cultural issues, and the recognition of the needs of the society and their development. For this reason, one of the common criteria of urban planning is leveling regions based on the enjoyment of different indexes of development. In the current study, using three techniques of Taxonomy Technic, Morris Technic, and Topsis Technic and 63 criteria of development in environmental-ecological, socio-cultural, economic, physical fields and the development level of urban areas in Esfahan has been analyzed. The method is descriptive-analytic and is developmental and applied. The findings reveal that district 3 ranked the first based on two models of Taxonomy Technic and Topsis Technic and ranked the second based on Morris Technic. The district 11 was recognized as the most deprived one based on the three models. Manuscript profile -

So, resources should be allocated in such a way that most services can be offered through existing resources. To identify the development or underdevelopment of areas, it is necessary to study inequalities patterns and differences between them, and also, studying the degree of superiority of one place compared to the structure of similar locations in the city. The recognition of the existing differences among different areas in the city in terms of enjoyment of various indicators, in order to be aware of the development or deprivation levels, reduce regional disparities and set programs in accordance with the conditions and facilities of each area is an unavoidable necessity. In this study, attention has been paid to determining and ranking the degree of development of urban areas in Rasht based on 63 indicators in five educational, health care, socio-cultural, economic-commercial, and urban civil installations. To achieve the objectives of the study, the Numerical Taxonomy model, Morris Model and TOPSIS model have been used. By applying these models and analysis, each of the five areas of Rasht city, the ranking and the level of development of each area has been determined separately. The results of the study show that more facilities and services have been focused on the city center. Therefore, inequality in five areas is observed with significant difference. As such, in analyzing all three models, areas one and two have more favorable situation, but area five is of the most deprived regions. In fact, the farther the areas are from the center of the city, the lower facilities and services they will receive. This is the result of polar policies growth, as a result of which, all of the facilities and power are concentrated on one or more areas, and other areas act as marginal. Due to the nature and the difference in method of ranking the indexes, degree of development of study areas in each model is different from the other model. In order to achieve the same result in the assessment of development areas, percentage of changes, intensity of changes, and coefficient of variation were calculated and the results were extracted based on the divided indicators. - Manuscript profile
