        In order to better manage natural ecosystems, man-made, long-term planning can help environmental planners and natural resource managers make more informed decisions. The purpose of this study is to identify the key factors affecting land use change in Fandolo forest area with a future research approach. At the beginning of the study, 19 factors affecting forest use changes in various economic, social, physical, natural and political dimensions were approved by experts. Dimensions 19 * 19 were designed and provided to experts for weighting from numbers 3 to 0, which were three high and zero effects without impact and weighting.The effect of variables was directly and indirectly analyzed in MICMAC software. Finally, eight effective factors in changing the forest use of Fandolo region were identified. Among the key factors of tourist factor, land use, distance from village and population, logging, vegetation, motivation to change from agricultural to residential and height are the most important key factors in the future of the regional system.

        The aim of the research is to analyze the effective factors in the development of sports activities based on the principles of land use and with a future research approach. For this purpose, the city of Tehran was chosen as the pilot project. In the input phase, PESTEL analysis was used for environmental scanning, and in the analysis phase, the global business model was used. For data analysis, 23 experts and Delphi method were used. After the theoretical saturation and confirmation (98%) of the experts, the questionnaire was distributed among them to measure the variables based on the degree of influence and effectiveness; then the data was entered into MicMac software and one 18x18 matrix was formed. The results showed that the matrix filling index is 96.197%, which indicates the high influence of the identified factors on each other. The variables were divided into 4 types based on the placement type; and the variables "Investment in sports", "Community income level", "Government financial aid" and "Education and promotion of sports culture"were the most influential in the studied system. Also, 6 variables "unemployment rate",distribution and distribution of sports spaces and venues","per capita and infrastructures","cultivation and heroism","interest and support of local communities" and "performance in international arenas" have more impact than effectiveness. And are the driving variables of the system. The "climate and geography" variable has the least role in direct and indirect effects. According to the results, the status of sports activities in Tehran is somewhat "unstable" based on the environmental approach, Manuscript profile

        Development programs are carried out to build a better future, or in other words, to shape the social construction of the future reality of countries. A very important part of this program is related to regional development. Although North Khorasan province has potential for growth and development, it is considered as an underdeveloped and deprived province. Therefore, provision of various economic, welfare and infrastructural services, social facilities, variety and health is one of the most basic planning indicators in each planning unit, especially in the cities. The purpose of this article was to identify key factors affecting the underdevelopment of economic, educational, medical and infrastructure indicators in North Khorasan province. The research is applied research and its method is descriptive and analytical, and the data collection method was done by library studies and field research. In order to rank the cities of North Khorasan in terms of underdevelopment of economic, educational-cultural, health-treatment and infrastructural indicators, Mic Mac model and Excel and Spss software were used, and Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to draw and prepare maps. The results of the research showed that among the cities of North Khorasan province in the economic sector of Esfrain, the most developed city and Mane and Samalghan were in the lowest development rank. Garme city was the most developed and the most underdeveloped city in terms of educational and cultural indicators. In terms of access to infrastructure indicators, Bojnord city is the most developed and Mane and Samlaqan are the least developed in terms of the health index, and Shirvan is the most developed and Mane and Salamqan are the least developed in the infrastructure index of North Khorasan province.

        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. Manuscript profile

        Regardless of Over Three Decades in Emerging the Concept of Sustainable Development, Social Sustainability Compared to Two Other Dimensions of Sustainability: Economic and Environmental, Has Been Neglected, However in Recent Years Related Literature to This Dimension Has Also Expanded. According to The Studies, The Best Scale for Assessing and Measuring the Social Sustainability is Urban Neighborhoods. But the Point Is Multiplicity and Variety of Indicators at Different Levels and Scales with Causal Relationships. Therefore, the Purpose of This Research Is to Analyze the Causal Relationships and Recognize the Key Factors of Social Sustainability in the Scale of Urban Neighborhoods in Ardabil. For this Purpose, Structural Interpretation Analysis Has Been Used in Mic‌Mac Software. In Order to Provide the Basic Data of Model Corresponded 47 Indicators, a 47*47 Matrix Was Provided to Experts in Urban Affairs of Ardabil. Sampling Method in This Section, Has been Targeted and Sequential Sampling in a Two- Step Delphi Format. Research Results Show that Social Sustainability Indicators Can Be Divided into four Categories of "Linked", "Effective", "Independent" and "Dependent" Variables. According to the Indirect Relationships Matrix, "Existence of Democratic Institutions", "Political and Institutional Responsibility", "Democracy Level" as "Management and Institutional" Indicators, Have the Most Indirect Influence in the Network of Relationship between Variables and Are Key Variables for Social Sustainability.
