Good governance is the last approach in urban management which concentrates on participation, transparency, responsibility, law force, justifying and accountability in governing. This approach in urban management can produce the desired outputs for organizations and people. Municipality and Islamic council of Ahwaz which are the two important organizations in urban management in Ahwaz can use good governance approach in fulfilling their duties. In this article, the researchers use people’s judgment in a sample community about the performance of municipality and Islamic council to study how much compatibility exists between the performances of these public organizations with good governance principles. The researchers also use a questionnaire for collecting people’s judgment.The results of this survey showed that the average of citizens’ judgment about the consistency of municipal and city council performance with good governance values are 1.41 and 1.22. Respondents say that municipality and council performance in index of rule of law (with average 1.66) is low and in index of participation (with average 0.98) is very low. If we accept the respondents’ judgments about municipality in districts of Ahwaz municipality in this study, judgments show that the performance of municipality management in district 3 with an average of 1.26 has low compatibility with good governance values and municipality management in district 1 with an average of 0.94 has very low compatibility. Generally, the performance of municipality and council in terms of compliance with the principles of good governance, (with average of judgment about 1.31) in a range of 4 values between bad and good, is weak.

The statistical population of this study is the managers of sports departments and organizations, university professors and scholars. The sample was a non-random sampling with 40 physical education researcher and 40 managers. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 24 questions with 5 components whose validity was confirmed and reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha of 0.79. Data were analyzed using chi-square, Friedman, exploratory factor analysis and Yu-mann Whitney in SPSS18 software. The results showed that the lack of attention to the scientific and social needs of target organizations in physical education research, inappropriate interaction between boards and departments of sports and youth with research institutions and the lack of comprehensive rules and regulations for the application of appropriate research, respectively, were the most important Barriers to the use of physical education research have been found in the Iranian sports industry.

So, it can be regarded as the foundation for economical and social development.The capabilities of agriculture sector are limited and its efficiency is trivial because of neglecting agricultural development and keeping its support just as a slogan. The transformation of agriculture to a developed, dynamic, efficient environment depends not only on appropriate climate and natural resources but also on human resource development in the relevant sector. The main purpose of the present research was to study and recognize agricultural development indicators from agriculture experts’ viewpoints (including researchers, trainers and extension experts) in six provinces in Iran on the basis of Adjacent Provinces Plan. The study was designed with three phases of theoretical foundations, field operations and data analysis. The statistical population was 863 experts, out of which 198 experts were selected by stratified sampling. The validity and reliability of measurement tool (questionnaire) was analyzed by SPSS software package. The study was a correlation-descriptive study in which factor analysis statistics was used in addition to descriptive statistics. Experts grouped indicators of future agricultural development in nine groups (access to inputs, application of technologies for the development of human resource and sustainability; reduction of losses; economical development; improvement of infrastructures; agricultural mechanization; social status; improvement of marketing; land reform; yield increase). Results about the difference in respondents’ viewpoints revealed significant differences in experts’ viewpoints in six studied province about relevant variables and in their viewpoints about the components of agricultural development (infrastructure improvement, marketing, optimum management and sustainability, human resource development and economical development).

Methodology: The study approach was survey-comparative performed by non-percent stratified randomized sampling. The statistical population consisted of all researchers of Middle East countries; then, according to the sample, we sent the questionnaire to 728 of them. This questionnaire was researcher-made and so, 444 of the researchers replied it. Reliability of the questionnaire was tested by the Cronbach's alpha method and the result was 0.79. We used descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, Chi-squared test, and One-way ANOVA to answer the research questions. Finding: Scholars of Kuwait, United Arabic Emirates, and Qatar had the most rate of using interconnected online social networks. Also, researchers of Bahrain, the United Arabic Emirates, and Syria showed the highest rate of presence in social networks. Visibility, increased citation, and sharing of articles by researchers of Middle East countries have been the major goals of using scientific social networks. Conclusion: Totally, it can be inferred that the rate of using scientific social networks by researchers of Middle East countries is not satisfactory and these networks have still not found their deserved place among these researchers.

The sample was all the YRC members of the Islamic Azad University Branches in district 12. SPSS and LISREL softwares were applied to analyze the collected data form a questionnaire. The findings of the study suggest the formation of a linear pattern between dependent and independent variables. In other words, there is a significant relationship between cultural factors (i.e. status of the researcher, type of the YRC members’ activities, the physical place of these activities, universities’ research facilities, and the timely acceptance of the research projects) and social factors (i.e. education and income level of the club members, social status of the members’ families, and research management of the club) with the members’ orientation toward conducting research activities (i.e. writing research papers, authoring or translating books, participating in conferences, doing research projects, studying extracurricular books, and assistance in conducting research).
