Urban livability and the right to the city are concepts related to sustainable development and social justice in cities and are effective in creating healthy, dynamic and just cities. While introducing livability and the right to the city as a dominant approach in urban planning in the contemporary world, this article has examined its theoretical origins, influential views and theoretical-experimental literature, its dimensions, and indicators. In terms of the fundamental-theoretical goal and its data, this research has been provided by the library- document method. Considering the wide range of topics and explanatory approaches available in this field, in this research, only those researches that have more relevance to the current research topic have been examined. Then, the theories of henri lefebvre and the theory of kevin lange, marcuse, tovey fenster, harvey, etc., as well as supporting concepts close to livability such as sustainable development, healthy city, neo-urbanism, smart growth and compact city have been examined.The findings of the article show that according to today's conditions, in most cities of the world there is a general agreement about the importance and necessity of recognizing, analyzing and explaining urban livability and the right to the city in various dimensions, but there is no consensus of opinion about the definition, standards and indicators. The most important reason for this can be seen in the direct dependence of this concept on the spatial and temporal conditions, and most importantly, the socio-economic and management background of the target community.

Therefore, the aim of this research is to prioritize three strategic infrastructures of the national electricity distribution network, water supply network and fossil fuel distribution network within a specific practical framework. Materials and Methods: This research used the comprehensive multi-criteria decision-making method of the analytical hierarchy process which is based on the experiences gained in the design, implementation and operation of strategic infrastructures with a survey from 12 experts. Mentioned infrastructures have prioritized according to four economic, social, environmental and technical criteria along with 10 sub-criteria layers of investment and construction cost, maintenance cost, job creation, acceptance and public participation rate, water, soil and air pollution, final quality, technical efficiency and training of expert staff. Results and Discussion: The results showed that in examining the dimensions of sustainable development, the environmental criterion with a weight of 0.30 has the highest priority, followed by the technical criterion with a weight of 0.24. Social and economic criteria were ranked next with weights of 0.224 and 0.223 respectively. Also, the fuel distribution network with a weight of 0.026 had the highest importance in the sustainable development of infrastructure. The second priority was the nationwide electricity distribution network with a weight of 0.0252, and the third priority was the water supply network with a weight of 0.0251. Further, the weight of the alternatives for prioritizing the strategic target infrastructures based on the main criteria showed that the water supply network had the highest priority in economic and environmental criteria with weights of 0.27 and 0.34 respectively. In the social criterion, the nationwide electricity distribution network has the highest priority with a weight of 0.26, and in the technical criterion, the fuel network has the highest priority with a weight of 0.33. Conclusion: Iran with high dependency on fossil energy in its infrastructure demands planning for sustainable development in the processes of exploration, extraction, refining and transportation network of fossil fuels. Then the electricity network of the country requires fundamental changes in the electricity supply system and convergence with innovative technologies. In the third step, because of the water crisis, Iran needs to introduce novel technologies into its infrastructure to achieve higher efficiency. Manuscript profile -

It also examines the impact of using data mining methods in the stock market and their effectiveness in this area. The research introduces a machine learning approach that generates information using publicly available data and uses this information for accurate prediction. It also explores various data mining methods relevant to financial market analysis, focusing on predicting stock market movements and trends. The study demonstrates that due to the dynamic and variable nature of financial markets influenced by economic, political, and social factors, the use of machine learning and data mining methods can lead to more accurate predictions of stock price movements. Given the extensive and complex data in financial markets, data mining methods have the potential to discover hidden patterns and determine relationships between various variables. Various machine learning algorithms such as artificial neural networks, support vector machines, and random forests, alongside statistical analyses, help improve the analytical capabilities of analysts and investors in making economic decisions. Furthermore, the use of big data and complex analyses has contributed to the development of intelligent trading strategies that can help optimize returns on investments. For example, analysts can enhance the accuracy of their predictions by incorporating sentiment data from social networks into their models. The study emphasizes that sustainable development in financial markets requires a deeper understanding and more precise analysis of data, ultimately leading to stronger data-driven decision-making and trading processes.

Energy efficiency is an essential factor for sust MoreSustainable development as a process for meeting human development goals while sustaining the ability of natural systems to continue to provide the natural resources has an undeniable impact on all aspects of human life. Energy efficiency is an essential factor for sustainable development and in spite of worldwide climate change problems caused by fossil fuel use, energy consumption levels in Iran, while already high, continues to rise each year. About 40% of energy consumed by the residential buildings in this country is fossil fuel-derived. Therefore providing solutions to reduce energy consumption in this sector is very important. Tehran is largest city of Iran, and significant amounts of energy are consumed in these city. However, due to its location in semi-arid climatic region, high sun’s radiation even in winter and low relative humidity of the air, this city has a high potential for energy conservation in residential buildings. Therefore the introduction of energy efficient buildings in this city would have a significant overall impact on national energy consumption levels. Sun shading devices are one of the most efficient elements to manage the interaction between the interiors and exteriors of buildings. They can significantly reduce cooling loads, improve thermal comfort, prevent the heat loss in the winter and reduce potential glare problems in residential buildings. Sun shading devices can be categorized according to their placement as interior, exterior and mid-pane. Result of research and studies shows that the effectiveness increase 35% by using outside shade protection instead of inside one. This research is aware of this fact that optimized internal sun shading devices are not comparable with the external sun shading devices in efficiency and performance. Although due to the increased utilization of them in the residential buildings, this research studied the internal sun shading devices and determined the optimized internal sun shading system, and then analyzed its effect on the energy consumption in the residential building model. In this study at the first phase, the combination of four types of internal sun shading devices with three types of windows are evaluated by the Parasol simulation software to determine the optimized internal sun shading system. Simulations show that the double glazed transparent window with dense reflective Roller Blind (as optimized sun shading system), has most appropriate thermal behavior. At the next step, a building model as a case study (The six-story apartment in the city of Tehran) was considered for simulations of energy consumption. The Building Calc. software was applied for energy simulations and heating, cooling and total energy consumption of building was calculated with and without optimized internal sun shading system. The result shows that efficiency of internal sun shading devices increase by using dense texture, high reflectance and low transfer rate. Also only by using optimized internal sun shading system reduce energy consumption of residential buildings in Tehran up to 14%. Because of the large coordination with Iran’s economic, cultural and social conditions this method could be one of the best solutions to reduce the energy demand in residential buildings.

Studies related to this concept differ in several aspects MoreQuality of life as one of the basic concepts in the studies of sustainable development is used in various sciences in objective and subjective aspects and has recently entered the Urban Development debates, too. Studies related to this concept differ in several aspects such as the scale of study, scopes, and methods of measurement used in the assessment of the quality of life, as different methods have been used for the study of the life quality in urban districts. However, no comprehensive framework has yet been presented for the study of life quality based on physical, local and social indices. On the other hand, the quality of life is often measured by using subjective and objective indices, and rarely by using them both. Subjective indices are obtained from surveys of perceptions, evaluations and life satisfaction of urban residents, while objective indices are related to observable facts often obtained from secondary data. In addition, theories and empirical studies of quality of life in its present form have mainly originated from Western societies. The studies in developing countries are significantly low. Similarly, major factors affecting the life quality in developing countries have not been clearly identified. Many attempts have been made in the past three decades to measure the quality of life around the world. Researchers and different institutions have proposed various indices, but it seems that the advantages and disadvantages of each of these indices have not been evaluated by a certain method. Objective indices are measured on the basis of abundance or physical quantities such as income, but subjective indices are measured qualitatively based on psychological responses such as job satisfaction and happiness. Traditionally, in recent past, GDP was used as the only reliable indicator of well-being and economic development. However, there is a broad consensus that the increase in GDP does not necessarily improve the life quality. At present, one of the measurements of life quality has been the Human Development Index used by the United Nations since 1990 which is based on three factors of life expectancy at birth, academic success and real per capita GDP. In this study, we have tried to define the quality of life in the four neighborhoods of HosseiniFerdos, Tolidarou, Behdasht and North Valiasr by using descriptive and analytical methods to present a conceptual model. Indices used for the measurement of the life quality include the quality of the physical environment, quality of the economic environment, quality of the social environment and the quality of communication and transportation. Library documents and field methods were used to collect data based on the answers given to the questions in the questionnaires by 390 people age 16 to 65 in the above-mentioned neighborhoods selected through classification. Dimensions considered in this study are based on the American vision of mental aspects, and SPSS and Amos software were used for the analysis of data. The results indicate that the rate of mental quality in these neighborhoods are below average and it shows the life quality in these areas. Manuscript profile -

The basis of the research goal was to explain the components and indicators of social resilience and to determine the contribution of factors affecting social rehabilitation. To determine the effective factors on social empowerment, after collecting many indicators by using the Delphi-Fuzzy method for screening items and Selection of the most effective indicators was carried out. Of the 50 indexes collected, 28 indicators were classified in seven main components: quality of life, social capital, social security, human capital, mental fitness of society, individual characteristics, and finally demographic characteristics. In the next step, we used the network analysis method to determine the weighted value of the components and their prioritization. The results indicate that the effective measures in social resilience to confront the earthquake, social capital with the highest weight (216.1) In the first and next stages of human capital (184), demographic characteristics (168/), individual characteristics (123/), quality of life (126), social security (112), and community psychological preparedness With a weight of (058/). So, in the process of social resilience, social capital plays a key role. Studies show that most citizens have insignificant information about the earthquake in the phases of emotion and prevention, and there is also a reluctance to learn and participate in educational plans and programs. Perhaps the reason for this, is the problems regarding daily routines and also the problems encountered in modern cities. Therefore, the components of this study suggest that, in order to achieve social resilience, only significant attention is paid to education and the formation of volunteer groups of citizens. It cannot have enough emphasizes and there should be more important issues such as qualitative Life, social security and other factors listed in the survey. The results of this study were consistent with other researchers and confirmed that they were screened using the fuzzy Delphi method and the use of the collective wisdom of components and indicators, which could include many key and reliant key factors for social resilience in Encounter earthquake. It is suggested that, in order to realize social resilience against earthquakes, in addition to the sociological viewpoint for social layers, we should consider the effective components of urban planning as well as being responsible for the creation of space and places that promote social engagement and social interaction. By recognizing the typology of urban spaces on a different scale, it would meet the needs of the human; by looking at the neighborhood as autonomous units, creating a sense of place, using the attractiveness of the population, paying attention to the cultural personality of the texture, access to basic services and priority to walking in the neighborhoods alongside issues such as education, insurance, awareness of people about the risks and consequences of an earthquake can be used to rescue urban communities with a social approach.

Before industrialization, MoreWater is a vital natural resource is renewable, but finite, which is used for various purposes. Historically in many parts of the world, water resources play an important role in the establishment and formation of their residence and identity. Before industrialization, urban coastal areas were booming with people and diverse activities and there was a close connection between the coast and city but in the industrial age, this relationship was cut by creating some users such as major ports, commercial uses, Industrial activities, warehouse and transportation. Development of such as industrial activities in coastal areas have environmental problems such as pollution, aesthetic as well as social and economic effects for the surrounding urban communities. According to the sustainable development approach that is raised at the international level, should limit the effects of industrial development on the environment or be removed. Undoubtedly, the way out of the current problem is to consider the principles of sustainable architectural development and use them in development activities in urban coastal areas. For this purpose, Sustainable development and landscaping margin coast, ports can be used as a tool to achieve sustainable development goals. In this study that is applied and developmental research, Text and content analysis were used for the analysis, and a library method also was used to collect the required data and documents. Also we attempted to describe these principles before introducing an appropriate criterion to create sustainable coastal landscapes in vicinity of ports that would also serve as dynamic urban centers. Reconstruction and development of coast base on sustainability criteria can convert coast to on the most important center of national and international socio-economic focus. Sustainable development of a coastal area meant to benefit from the full potential of these spaces. Therefore, the landscaping of coasts in vicinity of ports include a combination of understanding of ecological, environmental impacts and link the city with the port and coast. The integration of sustainable development criteria and standards for reducing an environmental impact of ports, can be a fundamental structure, particularly in relation to sustainable landscaping coasts near ports provided. According to the findings, establishing and maintaining communication between the city, the harbor and the beach, protect and guarantee the quality of water and the environment, reduce environmental pollution (air-optic-audio), create economic opportunities, meet the needs of local people and the city, contributing expertise, organizations, government agencies and people in the planning and design projects, preservation of cultural identity, natural scenery and landscape, creating complex and diverse applications to exploit the environment all the days, building infrastructure and convenient access to coastal areas, creating quality public spaces, enhances the visual quality of the environment and coverage unfavorable landscapes, are including criteria for sustainable landscaping in vicinity of ports. In addition, the coastal margins of the port of Bushehr as a case study were identified and investigated in a variety of aspects (functional, accessibility, visual and environmental), then identified base zones and macro-design strategies to create a sustainable landscape on these beaches has been provided.

This research studies the sustainable pathology of urban neighborhoods in Region 1 of Tehran city with an emphasis on social harms. The main objective of the social pathology and its spatial distribution at the neighborhoods level is to plan and manage how to control and reduce the social harms and make sustainable neighborhood development. Employing an exploratory analysis method, the present study is an applied research. The data has been collected through documentary and field studies. For analyzing the data, Super Decisions software and various tools have been used in Geographical Information System (GIS). The study area is the neighborhoods of Region 1 of Tehran municipality and the level of analysis is its 26 neighborhoods. The statistical sample consists of 30 experts in the field of urban planning and engineering, and 372 inhabitants of the 26 neighborhoods. These participants have been selected using Cochran Formula and random sampling. The findings of the study show that the neighborhoods of Region 1 of Tehran municipality are encountering growing social harms. Common social harms in this region are divorce, runaway girls, beggary, drug addiction, and seasonal workers. In terms of spatial distribution, mostly squares are densely populated, e.g., Tajrish Square. Among the 26 existing neighborhoods, Evin (rank 1), Zafarranieh (rank 2), and Imamzadeh Qasem (rank 3) Neighborhoods have respectively the most amounts of social harms while Araj, Hekmat, Deszashib, and Mahmoudieh Neighborhoods have the least amount of social harms. Any appropriate social interventions and supportive measures require comprehensive studies and studies on opportunities and threats, the strengths and weaknesses, the nature and causes of injuries and social issues at a smaller level, namely, neighborhoods. According to the results of this study, effective preventive measures can be taken to improve the planning and optimal management of the city of Tehran in the municipality of Tehran, with the full knowledge of the existing damage and its type, and by achieving appropriate strategies to reduce the damage to the neighborhood system. In the area of a Tehran municipality, in order to help improve urban planning and management through the identification and elimination of existing damage, it is possible to develop and improve these areas of the region in terms of the quality of life of citizens and minimize the damage. In terms of the indices of urban development infrastructures and facilities, significant differences are also observed between the neighborhoods of this region using Fuzzy Method, e.g., Tajrish Neighborhood has the first rank in sustainable development due to the availability of facilities and access to offices and industries and several other development indices. Bagh-e-Ferdows Neighborhood has the second rank, while Golab Darre and Mahallati Neighborhoods are at the bottom of this ranking. According to the results of this study, it is possible to improve the planning and optimal urban management in a Tehran municipality region with full knowledge of existing damage and their type.

Education as one of fundamental strategies has key role in national development. Although, they have influenced several consequences on city and regional levels apart from academic mission, their main functions are resourceful human sources and contribution of knowledge as well as technical skill. Governments were allocating different funds from national capital for education budget to improve human resources which the parts of developed countries are 7% of GDP, and developing countries are 6% of GDP approximately. Since last decades, the universities have expanded through growth population and society’s cultural aspect of academic education, but the universities’ roles are ambiguous to achieve cities’ sustainable development in developing countries. Sustainable development as a process is multi-dimensional which tries to modify fundamental situation in social structures, public attitudes, and national institutions through economic growth, and social equality as well as reduce poverty. Generally, communities reach sustainable development when there are four main elements including: natural potential, appropriate current infrastructures, sufficient human resources, and adequate financial resources. Under the special position for land, agricultural economy in North of Iran, the need of research is the consequences of universities establishment on their region’s sustainable development. The aim is to assess consequences for establishment of Islamic Azad University Sari branch toward sustainable development. There are several researches which focused on the Iranian’ universities impacts on social aspects such as employment, woman conditions, and public cultures, but a few studies have concentrated on Iranian universities consequences to achieve sustainable development. Different studies described that there are two main approaches to achieve sustainable development, including: people- oriented, and procedures based on participation. Theoretical framework for current study developed based on the sustainable development concept which included three fundamental components Environment, economic, and social. Research method is conducted quantitatively and survey-based and then, primary data is collected by questionnaires which has been designed based on the several studies and consist of two main sections including personal information, and impacts of the university establishment based on the sustainable development components. A Lickert scale was employed to apply arranged choice variables in terms of the three main components of sustainable development including: Economic, social, and physical. The sample size has been determined by Cochran Formula and so, 380 persons had contributed among 400 people. The research has employed One-sample t-test and Friedman test to analyze collected data. The results reveal that significant and positive relation between Islamic Azad University of Sari and three major components of sustainable development, but the factors are different impacts. Thus, Azad University Sari branch has the greatest effect on economic aspect, and physical and social aspects are in next ranking respectively. Finally, the findings appear that the university impact on physical aspect of Sari city has been neglected and then, Sari’ surrounding areas have developed in lack of abilities and capacities of Islamic Azad University-Sari branch. Therefore, the university roles and potentials must be considered by authorities for urban planning process in different levels. Manuscript profile -

The main benefits of green roofs are their ability to regulate the temperature in and around buildings, improve energy efficiency in buildings, reduce the urban heat island effect, retain storm water, and increase the lifespan of a roof. Further, their secondary benefits include their ability to provide therapy to humans, provide space for agricultural use, improve public perception of a company or institution, improve the aesthetic environment, increase property value, reduce noise inside a building, and provide habitat for airborne species, However the main goal is always environmental quality enhancement. Sustainable structures and Green systems have been the most important issues for developed countries. Now these projects in developing countries like Iran have been doing for resolving several problems with cultural, social, environmental, and economical results. All of these efforts can be studied in base of sustainable development. Study about green roof is not a new object but green system is a new object. If these systems be used in the country we can interest of these benefits and also many occupations will be created, so we should use them in macro scale otherwise they will be forgotten. One of the resolves of widespread green system performance is defining it in accordance with sustainable development. In today’s society, sustaining the environment is becoming an increasingly important issue. Consumers, businesses and institutions are making an effort to be environmentally conscious for the sake of the planet. In addition, businesses and institutions have the incentive appearing more environmentally conscious to the public, and are beginning to forgo immediate economic gains for the sake of engaging in more environmentally sustainable activities and systems. The investigation done has incorporated literature research, expert consultations and university information and has aggregated experiences of pioneer countries in this field. The objective of this study is to determine whether the environmental benefits and financial incentives of green roof systems in Iran are sufficient to render the green roof a sound investment. The purpose of this research is justifying the green roof system in Iran by using of environmental development criteria. In the conclusion we found that one way to develop and justify the system in Iran is defining and analyzing the ways of developing that by sustainable development criteria. The debate is over; human beings have to this point had an adverse effect on the stability of Earth. Many human practices and processes utilized to sustain the current standard of living have proven to be unsustainable. In light of this fact, the green revolution is gaining momentum throughout the world. A green roof is essentially a roof with a living system of plants on the top. In Iran, green roof technology has been slow to catch on. Green systems are minimal and more information needs to be relayed to people in order to stimulate green roof systems in Iran.

Due to the current urban development in Iran and the existing environmental problems along with the ongoing rapid population growth, its impacts, and consequently the increasing amount of consumption, waste disposal and different household and industrial sewage, design and development of eco-parks seem inevitable. Bearing in mind that in the New Urbanism, impacts of green spaces, in the form of eco-park complexes, are current in various ecological, social, economical and psychological aspects. Among the most significant ecological impacts of urban gardens and parks, we can point to the reduction of various environmental pollutions, purification and refinement of the air, soil erosion prevention, reducing the adverse weather impacts, and sustainable urban ecological development. Among their socioeconomic impacts, perfect potential of eco-parks can be outlined in attracting tourists, as they provide recreational opportunities leading to increased social interactions which triggers social and economical dynamics as well. Hence, relying on existing capabilities and beneficial varied applications of eco-parks, the establishment of such recreational-ecological urban spaces, is essential in achieving and further advancing sustainable development. The overall objective of this paper is to enhance the urban environmental conditions in order to promote environmental sustainability through eco-park design and connecting the built environment with the existing natural virgin lands in the city. In this way, a suitable condition can be introduced as the scientific-economic support for education and developing environmental culture. The present study is an applicant form that is performed by focusing on descriptive–analytical method. In the theoretical foundations part, the library investigation with analyzing the context of text are used. Finally the criteria of the analysis are presented in this study. Among the primary requirements of eco-park design, the indicators, measures and criteria are taken into account which distinguish eco-parks from other types of parks and green spaces. In this research, the process of achieving these criteria through study of related theorists’ approaches and analysis of successful case studies is demonstrated. Furthermore, by identifying and understanding characteristics of eco-park, their aims and objectives, as well as their application, whether from local or international theorists’ points of view and in presented projects, the basic structure of this particular type of theme park which ensures their ultimate success and performance, is identified. Finally, regarding the studies and analysis carried out, the conclusion which is about the most significant eco-park design criteria is presented. These criteria are in accordance with the four main principles of environmental sustainability, socioeconomic sustainability, cultural sustainability and Physical sustainability and ecological design; representing the most important eco-park design principles. Use of renewable energy in the design, support from native outputs and products in order to achieve economic stability and growth, trying to improve private and public knowledge in the field of natural and environmental issues and design in accordance with the Nature (organic design), are the most important criteria in each of the principles which have been described above.

It is important to pay attention to beliefs as folk or superstitions.In this way, with a critical approach to classical modernization researches, the effect of popular beliefs in sustainable rural development is explained. In the ideas of the thinkers of the modernization school, a kind of consensus can be seen in the division of developed and underdeveloped societies. which originates from the viewpoints of "evolutionism" and "functionalism". In the theoretical framework of the current research, we benefit from Durkheim's theory of social division of labor - with a different view in contrast to the general principles of the modernization school in expressing the obstacles to development. The approach of this qualitative research, the method of gathering information in it, is documentary, as well as the technique used, content analysis. The studies conducted in the villages of South Khorasan province are about the meaningful relationship between popular beliefs and sustainable rural development. informs In general, it can be concluded that the division of societies in Durkheim's theory into mechanical and organic correlation shows the course of movement of societies and not necessarily the backwardness of primitive societies in the sense of an obstacle in the direction of reaching any type of development; As the approaches of the modernization version propose from the social point of view.

Despite the experience of eleven long-term planning in this process, the country is still facing the big challenge of not fulfilling the development goals of the program law based on the approved documents. The present research has been carried out by the review and meta-analytical studies by analyzing the law of the sixth five-year economic, social and cultural development plan of the Islamic Republic of Iran (2017-2021) with a focus on the natural resources sector. Due to the close relationship between the agricultural sector and its impact on the environment, the relationship between all three sectors has been integrated into one structure. The results of the review of the country's sixth planning law in the natural resources, environment and agriculture sectors show that there is a serious gap in the formulation of the plan and its implementation, which is due to the lack of a desirable, coordinated and optimal planning system and the lack of coherent and institutional communication between It leads to planning, policy making and budgeting. A set of general rules, ideal goals and numerous and diverse topics in the programs and the lack of precise determination of the required and achievable resources along with other combinations of development programs lead to the failure to achieve the goals of the program and development of the country in this regard, which shows a serious contradiction in the sustainable view of natural compatible resources with agriculture and environment district. Therefore, it is necessary to make a serious change in the treatment-oriented view of development planning and instead use a systematic prevention-oriented and prediction-oriented view.

The method of this research is a little of a survey type. The population of the study consisted of all citizens aged 15-60 years old in Ahwaz. The sample was 384 with the help of the Cochran formula. The statistical information was collected by researcher-made questionnaire distributed among citizens and information with high validity. In the theoretical discussion, the theoretical approach to endogenous development has been used. Statistical results indicate that there is a relationship between independent and dependent variables and all coefficients are significant. To determine whether indices of social trust, work culture, motivation and desire for development, bias and belonging to traditional and indigenous, religious beliefs, education and social participation are acceptable indicators for sustainable development in Ahwaz, a confirmatory factor model is used. The standard estimators for regression weights including factor loads show that the effect of these indices on sustainable development in Ahvaz is significant. Among these indices, social commitment with coefficient (0.78) had the highest ability to be explained and religion with coefficient (0.16) had the least ability to explain sustainable development.

Three aspects can be imagined for development planning: the government and government institutions in charge of development planning, second, the people who are the subject of planning and development goal and the programs are implemented for them, and third, the part between the government and the people, ie the organization. Private companies, local managers and entrepreneurs. The main purpose of this study is to theoretically explain the effects of entrepreneurship on sustainable development with emphasis on structuralist thought. The general method used in this research is the qualitative method, which we have tried to study and recognize the desired goals by using the techniques of the qualitative method, including theoretical notes and discovery, comparison, reasoning and inferences of the researcher. In other words, the method used in this research is "documentary method", which uses data collection techniques to collect the necessary information and analyze the information by discovering, comparing and inferring the researcher. Findings show that the most important barriers to entrepreneurship development are, in order of priority, banking and administrative barriers in granting facilities, high production costs, legal barriers in issuing the necessary licenses and lack of coordination of related agencies. These factors are, in fact, the same factors that the environmental school emphasizes for the success of entrepreneurs. Manuscript profile -

In many parts of the world, including our country, the existence of such contexts is a major challenge for city managers because they do not follow the steps of growth and development along with the whole city. In dealing with this issue, several policies and approaches have been tested that lacked comprehensive accountability. Therefore, the current research problem is to find a comprehensive and appropriate model of intervention in worn tissue. In addition to documentary studies to achieve the desired model, the research has tested it in the field (by referring to experts).

Many symbols and examples of cultural heritage have been neglected or forgotten, and this process of forgetting and indifference - knowingly or unknowingly - continues at a very alarming rate. This research, using the library method and document analysis, has identified the types and examples of cultural heritage and investigated its place in the sixth development plan. The findings show that in the 6th development plan, emphasis is placed on determining the duties of tourism businesses as well as the income of museums and historical monuments, revitalizing villages with historical context, determining the duties of executive bodies in relation to tourism and cultural heritage, and handing over part of the executive affairs to the private sector. has been However, attention has often been paid to religious cultural heritage, as well as material and profitable, and considering the extent of tangible cultural heritage in Iran, the emphasis of this program on it is limited and insufficient. In addition, the performance of this program towards intangible cultural heritage has been selective, along with indifference, exclusivity, marginalization or rejection. To avoid this challenge; Identifying, maintaining and restoring cultural heritage; public and formal education; Expanding cultural diversity, multilateralism and cultural justice; creating a breathing space for indigenous, local and ethnic culture; And the human centrality in development is one of the points that should be emphasized in development plans in order to provide the quantitative and qualitative progress of sustainable, human and human development.

These programs are compiled based on the constitution, the country's 20-year vision document and general policies announced by the Supreme Leader. Due to the important and valuable position of women in society, in all programs, there are provisions dedicated to women's issues in all cultural, social and economic dimensions. Although some of these provisions are useful, they are not enough for this area. The Seventh Development Plan Bill is not an exception to this rule and, despite the good points raised in it, it also faces shortcomings. In this article, the method of categorical content analysis has been used, and the previous development programs have been reviewed, and it has been tried to analyze the materials and clauses mentioned in chapter 16 of the seventh development program, which is dedicated to women, family and the population. To improve and complete the mentioned materials, provide tips, criticisms and suggestions.

The correlation between the situation of developing and developed countries has been studied through documentary and survey methods using documents in the field of research and statistics published by the World Trade Organization. The dispute resolution system, as the most valuable asset of the new international trade system, plays an important role in enforcing the regulations and fulfilling the obligations of this organization. This system, with its automated procedures and the ability to prescribe trade reciprocal measures as punishment, provides a unique mechanism by which member states can demand full implementation of negotiated trade concessions. Despite the significant benefits provided to "developing countries", many of these countries have not had adequate participation and benefit. In recent years, the presence of developing countries in this system has become more prominent, but still developed countries have a significantly greater presence and benefit from it. Lack of a coherent economic system and costly limited legal capacity and lack of financial resources, lack of information and insufficient experience of developing countries; Strong economies and the influence of developed countries are among the reasons for this litigation Manuscript profile -

The method of this research is a little of a survey type. The population of the study consisted of all citizens aged 15-60 years old in Ahwaz. The sample was 384 with the help of the Cochran formula. The statistical information was collected by researcher-made questionnaire distributed among citizens and information with high validity. In the theoretical discussion, the theoretical approach to endogenous development has been used. Statistical results indicate that there is a relationship between independent and dependent variables and all coefficients are significant. To determine whether indices of social trust, work culture, motivation and desire for development, bias and belonging to traditional and indigenous, religious beliefs, education and social participation are acceptable indicators for sustainable development in Ahwaz, a confirmatory factor model is used. The standard estimators for regression weights including factor loads show that the effect of these indices on sustainable development in Ahvaz is significant. Among these indices, social commitment with coefficient (0.78) had the highest ability to be explained and religion with coefficient (0.16) had the least ability to explain sustainable development.

Three aspects can be imagined for development planning: the government and government institutions in charge of development planning, second, the people who are the subject of planning and development goal and the programs are implemented for them, and third, the part between the government and the people, ie the organization. Private companies, local managers and entrepreneurs. The main purpose of this study is to theoretically explain the effects of entrepreneurship on sustainable development with emphasis on structuralist thought. The general method used in this research is the qualitative method, which we have tried to study and recognize the desired goals by using the techniques of the qualitative method, including theoretical notes and discovery, comparison, reasoning and inferences of the researcher. In other words, the method used in this research is "documentary method", which uses data collection techniques to collect the necessary information and analyze the information by discovering, comparing and inferring the researcher. Findings show that the most important barriers to entrepreneurship development are, in order of priority, banking and administrative barriers in granting facilities, high production costs, legal barriers in issuing the necessary licenses and lack of coordination of related agencies. These factors are, in fact, the same factors that the environmental school emphasizes for the success of entrepreneurs. Manuscript profile -

This essay takes advantage of numerical taxonomy, AHP, and Topsis techniques to study challenges of Qazvin's constant development in terms of spatial justice, and it tries to answer the following question : Is it possible to distribute indices of constant development of Qazvin's urban regions spatially ? This research has been done by using an analytical – descriptive method, and all required information has been compiled based on library sources. The analysis of taxonomy shows that six districts of Qazvin have a lower rank of development and district 9 with Fi= 0/199 ranks first. It is 3.8 times more developed than district 3 with Fi =0/759. In the urban ranking of Qazvin' s districts, district 3 with Fi = 0/762 is in a better position in terms of development indices compared with districts 1 and 2. The above mentioned results show Qazvin's constant urban development's challenges from spatial justice's point of view. Manuscript profile -

Establishment of security in geographical spaces requires special measures and plans and is relates with many issues such as economical security, political and military security, social security, health security and environmental security. Sistan and Baluchestan province, due to the special geographical position, is very vulnerable in terms of security and in recent years has seen an increase in violence and armed conflict by militant groups. Although the roots of unrests are consider as political issues, but cannot ignore the effect of economic deprivation and low development indicators. In general we can say that there is a greater incidence of insecurity in underdeveloped contexts. Considering that more than 50 percent of the population of this Sistan and Balochistan province still lives in rural areas and rural population growth in the region is high, therefore, to achieve sustainable security we should consider security issues in rural areas. The results indicate that rural areas of this province have faced several challenges in different aspects of security, economic, social and environmental vulnerability. For sustainable security in rural areas, it is necessary that rural development strategy should be considered. Manuscript profile -

This rapid growth of urbanization did not take place in a balanced way, but caused the growth of big cities and hindered the growth of small towns and villages. And despite the transformations in Iran's urban system, the image of settlement and establishment of the population and cities does not give a good picture. It is clearly clear that the rapid expansion of urbanization in Iran has turned the hope for a better future into a nightmare for millions of urban people in terms of their economic and social status. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method, tries to investigate the reflections of unbalanced urbanization in the urban areas of Iran and the effects of this process in the spatial dimension, and finally the effects of this process in the urban network of Iran, with a scientific and argumentative perspective. According to the scientific analysis of unbalanced urbanization, if this trend continues in Iran's urbanization, we will witness unstable social and economic development, including an increase in unequal income, resource alliance, environmental destruction, and damage to Iran's natural and cultural heritage.

Discovering the relationship between these conditions and the situation of governance in the regions is a matter of research. The research was performed by descriptive-analytical method with survey strategy. The indicators were first obtained by Delphi method (DELPHI) and then distributed among two statistical communities of citizens and municipal managers. The results of calculations in the Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial analysis showed that the areas that ranked better in terms of governance were better in terms of sustainable urban development (areas 1, 2 and 3) and the areas that ranked better. They were worse off in terms of good urban governance, and in terms of sustainable development, they are in a weaker position (areas 6 and 7), so there is a relationship between good urban governance and sustainable development in urban areas.

Therefore it provides us these opportunities to be hopeful in using advantageous of tourism. But this major can be possible when we consider effective factors on planning and management strategy. Because of different potentialities in tourism such as variety of natural attractive places and located Uraman-Takht in this region, Sarvabad is the most interesting area in Kurdistan province. Therefore based on it's special geography position and different potentialities in attracting tourist, it is easy to have sustainable development and increase the positive abilities of tourism. But for this we need to have a professional management and planning for tourism. Method: Our method in this research is descriptive and analysis and for determining the effective factors on development sustainable tourism we use phase analysis of TOPSIS. Based on these method proper factors are those that have a minimum distance from ideal positive solution and have a maximum distance from ideal negative solution. Findings: From our analysis the most effective factor on sustainable development tourism in Sarvabad is improving state of infrastructure. This area is full of interesting places but unfortunately due to not having suitable infrastructure and topography situation it is not easy to visit them. Results: We found that some places such as Uraman-Tahkt has different interesting touristic places but owing to have a weak infrastructure it is in lower order and it shows that having a special attention on infrastructure is mandatory Manuscript profile -

Hamadan city, especially Haghmatane hill, despite having wide capacities, needs more amenities for urban tourism. The main purpose of this research is to investigate successful international experiences and compare urban sidewalks and identify these capabilities in the physical space of sidewalks in Hegmatane area. Method: This research deals with the qualitative analysis of these sidewalks in order to see how much it has been able to be a basis for improving the quality of urban life and attracting tourists in this area, and on the other hand, it is a basis for using positive experiences in other similar pedestrian areas. to provide Findings: Holding various ceremonies, rituals and festivals appropriate to the site and cultural heritage in the complex can help to attract the audience and connect the site with the city. There is a significant difference between domestic and foreign tourists in terms of the time of presence of tourists in the complex, in such a way that domestic tourists mostly visit this area during Nowruz holidays and after that in summer, respectively in the months of Shahrivar, August and a smaller number in July. They visit After that, the complex hosted more foreign tourists in the months of April, May and November respectively. Conclusion: successful global experiences have shown that the planning and design of pedestrian spaces will be successful when, in addition to considering the physical factors, social, cultural, climatic conditions, psychological and behavioral patterns of the people, the needs and tastes of the local people are taken into consideration. Therefore, in the planning and organizing of pedestrian paths, it is necessary to identify and structurally and qualitatively analyze the mutual relations of the movement system of pedestrians with other aspects of the stability of the area along with the balance and balance of people's lives. For this reason, a comprehensive and principled approach should be taken to organize the sidewalks, such as shortening the accesses, full security and health coverage of the sidewalks, compliance with the requirements of comfort and variety in the route, building and creating desirable views, providing the necessary equipment for movement in day and night and providing social grounds for sustainable local participation.

Whenever development in spatial aspect could provide some certain guidelines for convenient and just satisfaction of service needs of residents, it could be a sustainable one. In this study, by recognizing the pattern of development spatial distribution in Khusetan cities, we try to find out whether they are in a sustainable path or not. The study is a practical one and based on a descriptive-analytical method. Our data have been gathered from Statistical Annual of Khusetan in 2011. The results suggest that development spatial distribution in Khusetan cities are not according to the goals and principles of sustainable development. All analyses show that development spatial distribution in the province is so unequal and completely against the spatial justice rendered by sustainable development. Inequality has been occurred in different levels; Inequality between Ahvaz (center of province) and surrounding cities, between populous and thinly populated cities of the province, and inequality between northern and southern cities in one side and eastern and western ones in the other side. Besides, the current pattern of development in the province is against the wholistic view and systematic conduct of sustainable development in a way that sectional view of spatial development is so clear and evident.

Therefore, the development of a model that can simulate the different dimensions of water resource development projects and interactions between different methods of operation, can be helpful to managers and decision makers in the water sector. The main objective of present study was development of water integrated model (IWMsim) to evaluate different management policies and contribute to improve decision-making in large scale systems, using system dynamics modeling approach. The developed model is capable of simulating the impact of various effective factors in the water utilization on economic and environmental sustainability. In this investigation, to study interactions between environmental and economic effects of water resources development projects, two macro indicators of national costs and national revenue were developed. The developed model was calibrated and validated using long-term climatological, hydrological, agricultural and environmental data of Varamin case study. The developed system dynamics model evaluation showed that the model was able to simulate key variables such as relative crop yield (RMSE=14.2%,ME=20%andR2=0.92), groundwater levels (RMSE=0.37m, R2=0.92and ME=0.45m) and groundwater salinity (RMSE=57 μS/cm, R2=0.79andME=148μS/cm) with reasonable accuracy.

Therefore, in the present study, a real-time decision support system has been developed for the irrigation scheme of Mian-Ab irrigation network in Shoushtar plain with 24 sub-sets of cropping pattern and results are compared with existing pattern. To increase the accuracy of modeling, including soil water balance, crop production and root growth, a one-day time step is considered by replacing real-time data. For this purpose, the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSOA) is used to maximize the net benefit of a growing season. The results showed that the optimal economic efficiency of water was obtained for tomato by 92500 IRR/m3. Its yield production also has increased more than 3000 kg/ha in an optimal strategy with a 35 percent reduction in water consumption. Furthermore, critical periods of crop water requirement was between the maximum canopy cover and the start of senescence. Crops like wheat, barley, and rapeseed which their conopy coverage decrease after senescence stage, are more compatible with deficit irrigation. Manuscript profile -

The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of pressurized irrigation systems development scenarios on agricultural sustainability in Varamin, and to study the effect of government facilities on development of these systems. This study developed a system dynamics model for water resources management in Varamin, Iran. Results indicated that unplanned development of pressurized irrigation systems not only didn’t save the water resources, but it resulted in damaging groundwater resources. Result also indicated, while using surface water resources, if cultivated area did not increase, then development of sprinkler systems leads to increase national income and groundwater level, otherwise with increase of cultivated area results in reduction of gross national income. Development of sprinkler systems leads to improvement of groundwater quality and quantity level with and w/o cultivated area increment, thus, development of sprinkler systems can help to sustainable development only if cultivated area remains constant and water consumption reduces. To achieve sustainable agriculture, it is proposed that the granted governmental facilities to farmers be prioritized. This means that governmental facilities for irrigation development be granted to groundwater users in first priority, the development of micro irrigation systems (type and diameter) due to reduce evaporation, in second priority, mechanized surface irrigation systems, new sprinkler irrigation systems as LESA in the next priority.

If this waste is not managed properly, it will have irreparable consequences on the quality of the environment and human health. The purpose of this paper is to select sustainable scenarios for packaging waste management based on product design. Material and Methodology: In this research, by simulating a mathematical model, the costs of waste management scenarios and at the same time the detrimental effects on environmental quality and human health have been minimized. The proposed model, which can be used in various industries, has been implemented using binary genetic optimization algorithm, taking into account the design details, life cycle analysis and end-of-life options (in the form of 9 management scenarios). Findings: In general, estimating the optimal solution of the proposed model in each product group, shows the winning scenario appropriate to the optimal design alternative, which is an economic option with the least destructive effects on the environment and human health. The results of model implementation for a real example show in seven product groups defined four scenarios (25% source reduction, 25% recycling and 45% incineration and only 5% landfill) and scenario five (source reduction by 60% and incineration of 30% of waste and 10% landfill) are the winning options for optimal designs in most product groups. Discussion and Conclusion: The simulated model helps manufacturers to have a proper estimate of the environmental and economic consequences of the designed product. This research also enables decision makers and policy makers to achieve the goals of sustainable development, by legislating more manufacturers to accept responsibility for end-of-life management of their products as well as municipalities to set up a network.

This phenomenon has become the most common cause of air and environmental pollution in those areas. The present research aims to examine the challenges and risks posed by this phenomenon against sustainable development. Method: This research has investigated the social, political and economic dimensions of the dust problem using a qualitative method (thematic analysis). The techniques used were semi-structured interviews and observations. In this study, 60 local people were interviewed. Findings: The findings show that dust particles not only have caused the loss of biological balance of plant species in the environment, but also they have had devastating effects on the local businesses and have caused socio-psychological and health problems and increased the cost of life for the people and the government. The phenomenon of dust can be considered as the most important factor that has reduced the objective and subjective quality of life of locals. Discussion and Conclusion: This research shows that this phenomenon has created an undesirable collection of issues in the economic, social and health fields that reproduces a polysemantic structure of poverty. In such undesirable environment, dissatisfaction with the current situation has paved the way for the collapse of the balance of the social system of the society. This kind of climate change has had a great impact on the quality of life of the people, which, on the one hand, provides a platform for distrust to the involved institutions and, on the other hand, threatens the sustainability of development in the social, economic and political dimensions.

Thus, the purpose of this research is to investigate relations among renewable energy, CO2 emissions and sustainable development and compared to non-renewable energy in Iran. Method: In this study, dynamic interrelationships in the sustainable development-energy- CO2 emissions nexus is examined by applying bayesian vector autoregression (BVAR) in Iran over the period 1980-2013. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the indicator commonly used to measure economic growth and sustainable development, but this indicator is inefficient for evaluating development. One of the most prominent alternative indicators for sustainable development is the Index of Genuine Savings (GS). For this purpose, in this study GS is used as an indicator of sustainable development. Findings: Results reveal that the impact of creating positive shock on renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on sustainable development in Iran is positive. Also, positive shock on renewable and non-renewable energy consumption causes an increase in CO2 emission. Moreover, the impact of an increase in sustainable development is positive on renewable energy consumption and is negative on non-renewable energy consumption. Discussion and Conclusion: It is suggested that policy makers prioritize the promotion of energy supply diversification policies, especially renewable energy. Manuscript profile -

For example, in mining areas, a large area is occupied for the mining purpose which sometimes exceeds several hectares. In this regard, the amount of destruction and the environmental harms resulted from mining increases upon the rise of quantity and capacity of mines. On the other hand, since both mineral products and environment are a necessity for humans, one cannot be sacrificed for the other one. So, the logical solution is concurrent development. To this end, the reclamation of areas left after mining could be very effective. Therefore, the purpose of this study is finding a suitable alternative for the reclamation of the Jubon sand mine, by taking into account the potentials of the region to achieve the goal of sustainable development. Method: In this research, firstly the (previous) works done for the reclamation of similar mines were studied, then by examining the potentials of the region, different alternative for mine reclamation were proposed. Then, each of the alternatives was evaluated based on different criteria such as topography, slope, soil type, ownership, access road, beneficiary’s motivation and etc. Finally, in order to select the most appropriate alternative for mine reconstruction method of Similarity to Fuzzy Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) was used. Findings: Given that deciding on a suitable alternative for mine reclamation is a multi-criteria issue and the criteria are in conflict with each other. On the other hand, in decision-making issues, human thoughts are associated with uncertainty, and this uncertainty influenced the process of decision-making. The FTOPSIS method which takes into account all the indicators were very effective. Discussion and Conclusions: Land reclamation and environmental regeneration is an effective way to use land resources economically and help to coordinate people and land in the mining area. Successful and sustainable reclamation requires an interdisciplinary approach that leads to an integrated and effective plan to rehabilitate environmental, hydrological, aesthetic and recreational conditions. Therefore, the need for holistic approach in decision-making and the use of different people with different jobs, specialties, experiences, backgrounds and scientific perspectives, along with the use of multi-criteria fuzzy decision-making techniques can be very effective. Therefore, in this article, in order to determine the appropriate alternative for reconstruction by examining the effective infrastructure factors in reclamation and the use of various scientific resources, among the seven proposed alternatives, considering 17 effective criteria, the alternative of creating a business area was selected as a suitable option.

Scholars have attributed characteristics such as attention to the relationship between different layers of decision-making from policy making to implementation, consideration of cultural- political context and organizational structure of development as well as reflection of socio-economic considerations to environmental strategic assessment. Method: Despite these characteristics, the usual process of strategic environmental assessment does not have the ability to comprehensively assess the effects of cultural, social and ecological contexts. Criteria that do not provide clear results to decision makers are also used to measure the sustainability of development types. For this reason, in this study, the process and structure of the strategic environmental assessment based on the theoretical foundations of the resilience approach has been improved. Based on the resiliency approach, uncertainties and disturbances in socio-ecological systems can be analyzed. It is also incorporated into the evaluation process by reference to the multi-scale concept resiliency approach. Findings: In this study a three-step process for strategic environmental assessment is proposed. Each step is based on the basic concepts of the resiliency approach. Discussion and Conclusions: The sum of these characteristics makes environmental assessments possible on the basis of the unpredictable future, the inevitability of change, and the vulnerability of ecological systems.

The reason for this can be seen in the change in the structure of the environment by humans in favor of their resources. Following these changes, the concentration of carbon monoxide, as the main greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, has been fluctuating and increasing, which is the main cause of climate change. This study uses the concept of ecological footprint to investigate the ecological effects of the use of fossil fuels in the city of Ahvaz.Material and Methodology:In this research, the general method developed by Riz and Vekernagel has been used, based on which the calculations related to the ecological footprint have been obtained. This method of calculation includes the steps that have been used in this study to achieve the goal. Also, by using library studies and reviewing the necessary documents, sufficient and appropriate information has been collected to use the general method of micronutrients and carcinogens.Findings: Based on the results (2011-2014), the effects and extent of ecological footprint of fossil fuels in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 for the city of Ahvaz are equal to 6.71, 11.36, 7.17 and 83, respectively. / 8 hectares / person which in comparison with the per capita ecological footprint of the city in the mentioned years is equal to 0.0173, 0.064, 0.015 and 0.031 per year, which due to the difference between this Two levels can be concluded that the city of Ahvaz does not have a logical ecological footprint in the consumption of fossil fuels.Discussion and Conclusion: Preliminary results show that one of the important reasons that has made the ecological footprint of Ahvaz more than the current world standards, is a significant high part of the population to use cars and not to use other energy uses. It is like the sunshine that has the potential in the region. In this study, a summary of the ecological footprint in the consumption of fossil fuels in Ahvaz shows how much land officials in Ahvaz need each year in addition to available resources to carbon from the burning of gasoline and diesel, which is part of the energy used.

Green productivity is a strategy to increase environmental productivity and performance in order to social and economic development. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolution has severely affected all countries in terms of economic, social, political, cultural aspects as well as security, employment, health, the environment, and many other macro variables; so that, the technology has become the main driving force of the world's economy and sustainable development in today's world. According to the importance and the impact of Foreign Direct Investment and Information and Communication Technology on green productivity, this paper uses the Johansen-Joselius coherent test of the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Information and Communication Technology and the Green Productivity Index in Iran. Materials and Methods: The effect of Information and Communication Technology and Foreign Direct Investment on green productivity has been investigated in Iran using the Johansen-Joselius coherent test during the period of 1980-2013. Findings: According to the research findings, the Information and Communication Technology and Foreign Direct Investment have a positive and significant and a negative and significant effect of on the Green Productivity Index in Iran, respectively. Also, the vector error correction model shows that the adjustment process is slowing towards the equilibrium. Discussion and Conclusion: According to the obtained results, and considering the negative and significant effect of Foreign Direct Investment on green productivity, which could be as a result of increased pollution, it is suggested that is possible to provide a ground to improve green productivity by adopting policies to reduce the destructive effects of Foreign Direct Investment, including the replacement of green energy. It is also recommended that environmental regulations and standards be imposed upon the entry of Foreign Direct Investment which could be done with less environmental pollution. The effect of Information and Communication Technology index on Green Productivity Index is positive and significant in Iran. Therefore, it can be surely said that the use of Information and Communication Technology, as a solution for green productivity institutionalization is essential for implementing the continuous and effective process of green productivity improvement. It is also suggested to determine criteria, for the development and implementation of the green productivity concept, that fully cover the qualitative patterns of economic growth and development.

The development of human society over the centuries has been such that it cannot rely solely on the environment. In this regard, economic, scientific and technological development is formed in space and time. In the course of this development, according to human concerns, sustainability is an issue that guarantees the rights of future generations. Although the frameworks of solidarity law have also taken great strides in this direction, the appropriate conditions have not been sufficient in any way. Hence, the spatial and temporal nature of human development has raised concerns about human rights and the environment. Using conceptual analysis, this article critically examines the concepts of environmental justice and sustainable development and proves that development is meaningful in terms of issues such as respect for the environment and respect for human rights against the environment. This article concludes that global happiness and prosperity can only be achieved in an atmosphere of understanding between nations on the basis that the protection of the environment and its sustainability is a matter of respect for environmental rights. Therefore, one of the suggestions of this article is to establish efforts related to sustainable development based on environmental justice. Manuscript profile -

MoreBackground and Objective: Inattention to the climatic features of different regions and the absence of sufficient knowledge of the design principles for optimal use of the potentials of the natural environment leads to higher costs and waste of energy in various fields. Accordingly, due to high humidity in Amol and high cost of ventilation and reduction of moisture in summer, the main objective of this research is to examine and analyze the simulated openings of a residential building with a natural ventilation approach. Method: the present study was carried out in the first step by reviewing the subject literature on this issue and identifying the concepts and principles of residential building design in the field of energy. Then, by supplying the climate information file of Amol from the Weather Meteorology Center for the Climate Consultant software, Design elements were presented. Subsequently, the components were analyzed by Expert Choice software based on the AHP method and computation of component weight led to the final decision in choosing the most important component. Finally, with the simulation of the building in the Flow Design software, the impact of natural ventilation on residential slopes was investigated. Findings: seven components were extracted from the above software as principles of the design and tables of climate interpretation. In the following, with the hierarchical analysis method (AHP), a natural ventilation component with a weight of 0.399 was found to be the main component of the static solar power system. Discussion and conclusion: A natural ventilation pattern was designed in a building with a sloping roof and specific dimensions in the Amol climate. By changing the layout of two 1-square-meter openings on two walls with a height of 2.7 meters in opposite directions at two heights of 1 and 1.7 meters from the floor of the building, 4 airflow modes were simulated with regard to the wind speed of the area in the Flow Design software. In this simulation, by placing the wind tunnel perpendicular to two walls, it can be stated that the best natural ventilation efficiency from these four conditions, is the one with two under-roof structures at 1.7-meter height with the highest wind-suction coefficient of 1.19, which will make a reasonable ventilation and air flow in the simulated residential building.

Rules and regulations are always considered the most important legal instruments for governments to protect the environment. In our country, despite numerous environmental rules and regulations, the trend of the destruction of green spaces continues through change of land use, and so on. This study tries to address the strengths and weaknesses of executive guarantees in the current laws of the country in the field of urban private green space.The research method in this paper is descriptive - analytical. this article deals with the rules and regulations related to urban green space, in relation to the existing legal challenges in current laws and offering solutions.According to the analysis of legal guarantees in the field of urban private green space, despite several existences in this field such as financial crimes, imprisonment and ... perhaps one of the most important missing points in this guarantee, they are in the implementation stage, which means that there may be good guarantees in the rules but they are not implemented or neglected by the executors in the implementation phase.The results of this study indicate that the laws related to green space in Iran are old and have many criticisms but in some cases can not meet the needs of support and also the preservation of urban green space. Perhaps it can be said that the missing link in these laws is the incorrect implementation of the legal and penal guarantees provided in the laws. Manuscript profile -

Material and Methodology: This research is presented with inductive strategy and a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods at three spatial levels (Iran, Golestan province and Gorgan city). The statistical population is the main institutions in charge of urban land and those who refer to them in 1398. Data collection was done by documentary and field methods and for data analysis, Spearman model with Amos software and Swat method and quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) were used. Findings: Inefficient institutional arrangements, lack of integration of land-related institutions contribute to poor land governance and efficiency of measures. The analyzes showed that independent variable of agreement-oriented integration has total effects on dependent variable and the proposed research model and sustainable urban land management have a statistically significant relationship. Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that urban land management in Iran is centralized, closed and inefficient,with local levels acting as agents.themodel of integrated urban land governance based onthe formulation of a clear meta-institutional vision and integrated meta-strategic strategic policy was proposed withthe coordination and consensus of allstakeholders andactors by delegating some government powers tothe lowest level of local institutions with the necessary capacity building.

In fact, human beings realized that any damage to the environment ultimately endangers human beings and their dignity, and therefore, along with economic and social elements, environmental sustainability was identified as one elements of sustainable development. The present study seeks to examine how some governments, by identifying legal personality for the elements of nature, have taken steps towards environmental sustainability and ultimately the realization of sustainable development. It is a type of basic research that is descriptive-analytical and using library resources as well as using electronic resources including books, articles, dissertations, official conferences related to the subject (regional and international)in Persian and English languages and after raising the issue and clarifying the hypotheses, the data in accordance with the research questions in national and international judicial documents and procedures(both Persian and Latin)have been searched, collected, summarized and analyzed. One of the measures taken in recent years to environmental sustainability, has been recognized legal personality to the elements of nature. The practice of some countries, especially since 2008,shows that in order to achieve environmental sustainability, at the level of legislation or the procedure of the courts, the elements of nature have been recognized as rightful and representatives have been appointed to pursue their rights. Overall, developments in environmental law show that the identification of legal personality for the elements of nature has created a new development in the field of environmental law and sustainable development that is rapidly expanding in the international community. So that many governments can use this experience to take this step to provide the necessary grounds for greater environmental protection around the world. Manuscript profile -

In the second step, by using the causal theory of the Dimtel method in the fuzzy evaluation environment (due to the high precision of the fuzzy method approach, this approach has been used in the analysis), the tolerance evaluation of the executive models will be carried out. Finally, the correlation executive model will be presented. The fuzzy network analysis model, which is a comprehensive approach to the green tax open environment problem, will classify and grade the identified patterns.Findings: Using analytical and library methods, this study shows that tax, as one of the financial policy tools, plays an important role in sustainable growth and development and ensuring social justice. The main goal of this research is to investigate the classification process of green tax in environmental instruments, in order to achieve sustainable development.Discussion and conclusion: Iran can increase the share of its tax revenues and leave a positive impact on the quality of the environment by designing and implementing green tax (environmental taxes) as one of the common tax bases in the countries of the region.

The Sea-based economy and the optimal yeild for development are important for our country. In marine shrimp fishing, the goals are "employment, profit, participation and safety of employees, as well as the reduction of by-catch fishing and the conservation of biodiversity" are pursued. The goal is to obtain the optimal fleet according to environmental, economic and social considerations in Qeshm fishing area.Material and Methodology: Stakeholders and their objectives were identified and 70 samples were randomly selected. The weight of each goal was determined by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the models were estimated by Linear Programming. The total allowable shrimp catch (TAC) along with the linear model estimates and its weights were analyzed through Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and the goal programming (GP) model.Findings: In this study the preferences of the seven groups of identified stakeholders, including fisheries, labor, environmental NGOs, government, fisheries workers, researchers and processing centers, showed that maximum profit is the first priority for all groups. Reducing overfishing is the least preferred.Discussion and Conclusion: The share of the average fleet (between 20 and 50 tons) to achieve the research objectives was estimated at 64%. Based on the research findings, reducing the share of large fleet size and increasing the medium size is recommended to create harvest stability. Manuscript profile -

Article 50 of the Iranian Constitution explicitly emphasizes the protection of the environment. This principle raises many issues from a legal point of view and has a clear duty to protect the rights of the present and future generations to the right to a healthy environment and to observe intergenerational justice. In this principle, several points have been stated that are important for a more detailed study. First, there is the issue of environmental protection, in which case, the same issue of preserving and respecting the human right of society to a healthy environment is raised. Then there is the issue of intergenerational justice and identification. That is, it considers it the duty of everyone to observe fairness with current and future generations, as well as these issues, and the issue of public participation in environmental protection is raised. Like the constitution, it is necessary to be stated in this principle. In this descriptive-analytical study, an attempt has been made to examine the rights and obligations of intergenerational justice in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development (with emphasis on Article 50 of the Iranian Constitution).

Therefore, the current research, with the aim of sustainable development of rural tourism in Mazandaran, deals with finding the best modern building structure in terms of compatibility with the construction indicators of ecotourism residences. Material and Methodology: the research is an applied one in terms of its purpose and is a descriptive-survey in terms of its nature, in which the combined analysis method is used. The information is collected through library research and survey methods. ¬The researcher-made questionnaire were completed by 12 architecture and structures experts. In the quantitative section, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) parametric test was used to determine the opinion of experts, ¬ then LSD and Duncan post hoc tests were used to determine whether there is any significant relation between different structures. The current research was carried out in the territory of Mazandaran province and in the period of Farvardin 1400 to Khordad 1401. Findings: ¬ the results of the analysis of structures based on the specifications of "Technical theory" in the construction of ecotourism residences show that LSF and 3D-PANEL structures are the most optimal structures. Discussion and Conclusion: One of the factors influencing the growth of rural tourism is the construction of eco-tourism residences in accordance with the principles of native architecture. In order to attract investors in such projects; Localizing modern structures and using them instead of traditional structures by high construction speed can lead to fast return on investment and also it can predispose maintaining and improving the physical values of the village. It seems that due to the similarity of the selected structures in the research findings in terms of technical, economic, industrial and cultural justification with the native structures of Mazandaran; it is possible to create job opportunities by taking the help of local structural experts and collaborative implementation.

The invention of automobile had a strong and undeniable effect on different aspects of life. Theincrease in transportation speed in urban regions changed the cities drastically and influenced all cityfunctions. In addition, the increase in transportation systems in cities not only leads to unrecoverable energy consumption, but also pollutes the environment and threatens the people living in urban areas.Moreover, the considerable young population in Asian cities is another point justifying the necessityof the present study. The increasing growth of the population in cities and the vast number of vehicles as well asthe increase in the share of roads in the texture of the cities have all brought about a variety ofproblems for the modern cities, which should be solved by devising new and effective policies.Attention to humans as the most important factor in the formation of cities and to their basic needssuch as movement and health, and enhancement of their social life are the main objectives of thisstudy. To this end, issues such as transportation in Asian cities with an emphasis on the role ofwalking in cities were studied and new solutions were presented for the improvement of sidewalks.

It is a multi-faceted approach, which extensively involves many aspects of human life. Transportation -- as a vital part of todays life -- that strongly interacts with all other key dimensions of societies appears in many sustainability-related studies. In a viewpoint, sustainable transportation is considered to include three main dimensions, namely economy, environment and social aspects. In this viewpoint, sustainable transportation is achieved by establishing balance and concordance among these dimensions. In this study, the interaction between transportation and the tripartite dimensions is analyzed. Sustainable development is qualitative in nature, and many studies have been conducted to quantify it. However, few studies have been done in this field at a national level. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze sustainable transportation more quantitatively and at a national level. To this end, relevant indicators for Iran are introduced, and then using a multi-criteria approach -- the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) --, sustainable transportation policies are assessed and ranked Manuscript profile -

Scale of economic activity, change in composition of the economy, carbon intensity and energy intensity can be considered as the most important factors in all sectors, but with the differences in the impact of these factors in each of the sectors of the economy, Iran's economy is divided into four sectors as Home and business, Industry, transport and agriculture and in the period 1380-1391 was studied. Method: A study technique is "refined Laspeyres decomposition method". Findings: The results indicate that in all sectors change in composition of the economy has caused the greatest impact on CO2 emission. Discussion and Conclusion: the obtain result shown, Positive effect of scale of economic activity also shows that with the current method of industrialization of country and due to fossil fuel consumption, CO2 emission increase is inevitable. Also, during the study period due to the efforts of the authorities to increase energy efficiency and improve fuel quality impact of carbon intensity effect in all sectors except transportation is negative. However, Growth in energy consumption in the transport sector would enervate the positive effects of these policies. During the study period, the implementation of policy Gas rationing and subsidies are the most important causes of the erratic energy intensity effect in all sectors. Manuscript profile -

Knowing that human activity in these three sectors decreases the environmental quality, dealing with environmental degradation can be achieved by implementing long-term sustainable development education policies. Method: The present study is an applied research and aims to choose the best method for sustainable development education. For this purpose, first, the sustainable development competency criteria for technical and vocational graduates were identified by library studies and three different questionnaires were designed based on them. Then, DEMATEL Technique was used to identify the mutual interactions among the criteria. The obtained results were used for designing a network structure on the fuzzy ANP technique to assign weight to each criterion. Finally, the obtained weights were used to rank and select the best method for sustainable development education based on the TOPSIS technique. Since these techniques cannot resolve the ambiguity and uncertainty of verbal evaluations, the fuzzy triangular numbers were used in all the above-mentioned techniques. Findings: The results obtained in this study indicate that self-learning skills and proficiency in the environmental knowledge related to a particular technical and vocational field is the most important sub-criteria of sustainable development competence. Furthermore, group discussions were found to be the most appropriate teaching method for sustainable development education. Discussion and Conclusion: Due to the importance of sustainable development competence criteria in choosing the right method for sustainable development education, it is necessary to consider all aspects of knowledge, skills, attitude, development and growth, in order to strengthen the environmental attitude and behavior.

However, despite international efforts to protect the environment, environmental challenges not only still exist, but also it has increased significantly in many areas. In fact, today's environmental concerns and threats are beyond the predictions of the experts and the scientists at the Stockholm 1972 of the First International Conference on humans and the environment. Ozone depletion, climate change, air pollution, water and soil, loss of biodiversity, deforestation and desertification are the most important problems confronting humanity today. This research by adopting a critical approach aims to study in addition to existing capacity for the development of international environmental law, to deal with the obstacles and shortcomings and to review legal and administrative gaps, provide recommendations such as internationalization of environmental protection, substantive review and structural review in these matters.

Therefore it created an international obligation to solve these global problems. Hazardous chemicals and persistent organic pollutants are among environmental risks and threats. These substances can affect humans and other creatures’ health in a long run. Risk of different types of cancers, abnormal reproduction and transferring from generation to generation in human and animals are dire consequences which has also resulted increasing concerns about these dangerous situations. Persistent Organic Pollutants consist of 12 substances. Being aware of hygienic risks of pollutants, particularly their effects on women’s health and resulting problems in future generations and acknowledging disorders in oceans ecosystems and its native communities and subject to danger and their foodstuff contamination, are considered as general health issues, so global measures regarding persistent organic pollutants is essential. Therefore the UNEP governors’ council decided to develop and establish an international binding document on persistent organic pollutants on Feb 07, 1997. This convention is known as Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants and was enforced in 2004. Regarding commitments of Islamic Republic of Iran to Stockholm Convention, one of the central fields of enrichment to enforce the POPs convention requirements in Iran is using legal means as well as proper executive structure observing the related bindings within legal rules and regulations, the commitments are enforced via a purposeful way.

Despite covering a small area of the earth’s surface, urban environments house the majority of human population. The man is always faced with natural and man-made disasters and crises. Although it is not possible to avoid crisis, but its damage can be reduced by proper design. Thus, evaluation of urban resilience is one of the crucial factors to gurd the city against the natural and man-made disasters. Increase of the resilience of cities can minimize the damage caused by natural disaster. The importance of this issue is as high as some have referred to it as a new paradigm in urban evolution. Method: In this study, it has been attempted to use a deductive approach with a systematic approach. Findings: Numerous studies have been carried out to determine the relation of resilience dimensions and components with the urban land use. In the end, several dimensions and criteria considered more prominent by the experts (specialized in the field of environmental planning, urban planning, and geography) have been proposed for the concept of land use resilience Discussion and Conclusion: It has been attempted to determine both diminition and resiliency of urban lands criteria and also sustainable development approach though applying inductive approaches with system concept. Finally, by drawing the related conceptual model, effective steps will be made for reduction of vulnerabilties and improving cities and their systems. Manuscript profile -

Nowadays, these difficulties highlights the role of sustainable development. Needless to say, inequality in urban life is sign of failure in fulfilling of sustainability development. Based on multidimensional features of sustainable development paradigms and existence of different attitudes, it is difficult to have a perfect and multidimensional consensus in this field. Different attitudes and evaluation of sustainability methods signify the substantive dimensional issues such as environmental, social and economic features. In many societies, despite the resources, high-quality environment and high rate of social and economic features, failure in reaching sustainable development goals can be observed. Thus, it seems that investigation of of dimensions and indexes of sustainability and holistic attitude in this field can provide a new attitude towards societies. Attaining sustainability in this field needs a holistic cognition of the existing condition of the society for planning and giving strategies to reach advance rate of sustainable development in society. The aim of this study is to investigate the sustainability of urban life in Districts 7 and 22 of Tehran municipality with different attitudes by considering dimensions of sustainability in terms of substantive and procedural criteria. Substantive criterion includes environmental, social and economic indexes and these features not only exist in deep layers of society but also can change according to other conditions and are affected by sustainable development policy. Another criterion which is normally ignored in the evaluation of sustainable development, is procedural index which is formed by the indexes acting independently as a political process in society. Method: In this regard, library and ocumentary studies, field observation, questionnaire and interviews were employed. The collected were analyzed by SPSS software and statistical method. Findings: The results show that District 22 is better in terms of both procedural and substantive indexes compared to District 7. Conclusion: Analyses show that District 22 not only receive high amount of investment in sustainable development by the local government (district municipality) but also supports some capacities which exist in the region. In addition to heightening the quality of management and local government, this district creates new capacities and helps in increasing the level of society. Manuscript profile -

But the question is that what kind of requirements people with different age groups actually have in this particular field. It means that the requirements of environmental education for different age groups should be defined clearly. The first step in this procedure is to find the necessities of education for different age groups. One effective method to categorize people of different ages is to consider their educational levels. This research project discusses the needs and the educational priorities of high school students in the field of environmental studies. Therefore, three hypotheses are being evaluated, which include: 1- Informing the indicated group about the environmental issues will end to their sensitivity toward them, 2- Current educational schedule of the field is adequate for the indicated group, and 3- Teaching the environmental issues in the high school level is more effective. To examine the theories, high school students of four random educational regions of Tehran were chosen to fill in a questionnaire. The number of these students was defined as %7.5 of all students of each educational region by the guidance of the professors. In this way 516 students were taken to fill questionnaire, which their distribution are 134 students from region 1, 206 students from region 4, 69 students from region 7 and 107 students from region 12. Besides, to determine the priorities of educating, thirty researchers, scholars and teachers were taken to be questioned too. This research can be categorized as an applied investigation, and according to the method of data collection, it can also be defined as a descriptive survey which is collected in a “survey research” and in a Cross Sectional way. The main instrument of data collection in this section is applying questionnaire and its validity is the face validity and content and its rationality is estimated with the means of Cronbach’s Alpha Method which is equal to 0.79. Moreover Delphi technique in this research is used to define the priorities of educational requirements of the students and the collected data has been analyzed through the SPSS14.0 software. In this study, the parameters of descriptive statistics such as population, percentage, mean value and standard deviation are used. The parameters of comprehensive statistics like Will Coxon test, chi-square test and Crammers’ V coefficient are also used to analyze the questionnaires and evaluate the theories. These conclusions are derived from this survey: The results of descriptive analyzing of the first theory shows that the high school students believe that the current method of educating environment is inefficient and there is a need of change. The conclusions of comprehensive analysis also indicate the aforesaid truth. Thus, regarding all the factors, the first hypothesis will be confirmed. The conclusions of the second descriptive analysis as well as the results of the comprehensive analysis of the second theory also declare that the current environmental education is not qualified enough and should be changed. In this way the second hypothesis tend to be failed and a change is required. By analyzing the ideas of students descriptively, it can be concluded that teaching environmental issues in the high school level is more effective. Besides, the results of the third hypothesis demonstrate that age has positive effects in awareness, sensitivity and concern about protecting the environment. Although this finding is not sufficient to prove the third theory, the effect of environmental trainings in the high school level will be the most if this idea remains proper in all the educational levels; and to sum up, the third hypothesis will be correct.

Sustainable development can mean the identification of the unique characteristics and assets of a region which highlights the advantages of each region and leads the regional beneficiaries and resources to the perspective emerging from land use planning. Therefore, the environmental baseline studies based on GIS technology and other models related to spatial data analysis for identification of the area, could be seriously addressed. Natural landscape referes to usefulness of human activities in the nature, especially in the areas which are covered with plants or artificially drawn, On the other hand study of urban landfills from natural landscape view has a very important effect on landfill site selection, This seeks to find the optimum model for urban landfill site selection in line with land use and sustainable development. Methods: In this study, the landfill in Bushehr was visted and features such as the spacing of wells, residential communities, industrial facilities, access roads, airports, historical and religious centers, areas of biological importance, hunting and habitat zones for birds, geographic coordinates, wind, topography, geology, land use, soil, watercourse, groundwater depth, floodplain, surface water and slope were studied. After the necessary processing using the software area maps were prepared. The obtained map was transferred to Arc GIS software. The maps with Clip functions related to the intended zone were extracted for all the digital files. The basic maps in, 9/2 Arc GIS were determined in the study area using Buffer function, after classification and finally overlaying each maps, the finalized, was obtained. The final map was prepared according to the classification table with three values of poor, average and good. Results: The results showed that the study area is 57% suitable, 40% poor and 3 % average in terms of spatial planning and sustainable development criteria. According to population growth in Bushehr city, the amount of waste production in a 20-year horizon (2009-2026) of the area required for sanitry landfilling in the study area was calculated 1176261/2 hectare.

Applying the Delphi method and with the use of experts’ opinions, six indicators have been considered effective in the sustainable environmental development status of Iran. In order to study the sustainable environmental developmentin terms of the six selected indicators (per capita internal fresh water resources, water productivity, energy source usage, electricity generation sources, access to electricity, CO2 emissions) for 186 countries the data were extracted from the World Bank. This research aims to investigate the status of Iran based on the six selected indicators in the environment field and to define the place of Iran among other countries of the world using the clustering method. Then it tries to recognize the most similar countries to Iran during the last 18 years in terms of their sustainable environmental developmentstatus. The findings of the research show that from the perspective of sustainable environmental development indicators Iran was in the same clustering with Vietnam the most since they have come into one category 13 times during 1996 and 2016; and after that the being in the same clustering was related to Iraq and Armenia as they have been in one category 12 times; and 11 times with Venezuela and 9 times with Syria, Argentina, Egypt and Albania. Besides, after observing the selected six indicators of sustainable environmental development, it was determined that from the aspect of the indicators of “CO2 emissions” and “per capita internal fresh water” Iran is not in a good condition among the countries which have been in the same clustering with.

Thus researches that help the production and sustainable development in this area are significant. The main purpose of this research is the design and development of a scalable remote sensing-based paddy yield model.Material and Methodology: In this study, we used several different images available in Google Earth Engine (GEE) to estimate paddy yield at various temporal (growing seasons) and spatial scales (from 30 m resolution to regional scales). Then, a remote sensing-based light use efficiency (LUE) model integrated with inanimate environmental stressors, was implemented. This operational model was assessed against actual field-level yield data in 2016, 2017, and 2019 growing seasons across more than 691 paddy fields in Gilan province.The efficiency of the current model was evaluated through different statistical measures. The results showed a positive correlation and a signed agreement between the estimated and measured values so that in the studied growing seasons, the average correlation coefficient (R) and agreement index (d) was equal to 0.55. The average RMSE equal to 500 kg/ha, the average MAE equal to 440 kg/ha, and the average NRMSE equal to 0.12, all indicate that the accuracy of the model in estimating crop yield in these locations and years is satisfactory. Also, the submitted model showed the appropriate variability of yield values at the farm scale.Discussion and conclusion: In general, this new approach has confirmed that the use of remote sensing in the GEE is appropriate for estimating crop yield at various temporal and spatial scales, as the current model can be utilized in a wide range of applications such as agricultural management and insurance.

In addition to economic, social and cultural consequences, ecotourism development as one of the most attractive types of tourism can have significant environmental effects as well. Lack of precision, lack of development and conduction of precautionary measures in the form of guidelines, standards and continuous assessment will make these effects to have many devastating consequences in natural and human environments, and will lead to environmental instability and finally ecotourism instability. However, ecotourism as a good tool can have a global or local role in line with sustainable tourism. In addition, the ecotourism today is not often rightly oriented and is mainly defined in a way which practically takes distance from the declared standards to achieve stability and success in the sustainability process. This is a descriptive- explanatory study and has been developed using library documents. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between tourism concepts with sustainable developments and description of environmental problems and pollution (including air, water, soil, noise, visual and waste pollution) of unstable tourism.

Theoretically, the relationship between man and nature to achieve sustainable development is addressed and experts of sociology have expressed their thoughts. This research aimed to compare the role of male and female managers of environmental organizations in achieving the goals of sustainable development.Material and Methodology: This study is a descriptive survey in terms of data collection. 91 active managers in environmental fields of Markazi province in 2020 answered the research questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test with two independent groups. SPSS software was used for this purpose.Results: Female managers of environmental organizations have excelled over men in the areas of urban sustainability, climate change, cheap energy, and women's empowerment but in cases of protection of ecosystems, protection of the seas, ensuring the pattern of consumption and optimal utilization of water and wastewater, they are equal to the group of men. Meanwhile, in this study, the number of female managers was one-half that of men. Thus, the group of women were more successful than men in achieving the goals of sustainable development.Discussion and Conclusion: Human society and the natural world are in economic confrontation with each other because the environment is a social construct. Resolving environmental issues and achieving the goals of sustainable environmental development is possible through collective efforts with the participation of men and women. By reconstructing production and consumption processes with environmental motivations, environmental crises and the optimal use of natural resources can be overcome. Environmentalism is formed under two types of survival value and metamaterial value and metamaterial value manifests itself in concepts such as environmental protection, quality of life, and environmental moral behavior. Sustainable development also depends on addressing transcendental values. In the field of research, it was observed that material values have been paid more attention than metamaterial values.

In the pas MoreBackground and Objective: The governments of developing countries noticed that environmental taxes, in addition to helping to achieve environmental goals, also make it possible to achieve other economic and social goals such as reducing the unemployment rate. In the past, policies aimed at minimizing the unemployment rate have a negative impact on other policy goals because they reduce private incomes, especially for people on government benefits. Therefore, it is politically difficult to implement environmental policies. However, for green tax reforms to be socially acceptable, complementary policies such as public spending cuts should be minimized to reduce the burden of green taxes on the private sector.Material and Methodology: Green taxes lead to a decrease in social welfare and have a greater impact on endogenous public expenditures. Therefore, minimizing public expenditures as a complementary policy to promote the labor market effects of green tax reforms in developing countries will fail. Was. Findings: As a result, policymakers in these countries should look for other ways to help them reduce the green tax burden on business, which in turn will enable them to implement environmental tax reforms.

Ethical codes also have their own complexities and must be carefully considered. If this is not taken into the account, environmental and social problems will plague society and if the environment is destroyed, the greatest harm is to man himself, who is in fact in conflict with sustainable development. Conservation means both the care and rational use of natural resources; therefore, ecotourism is sustainable that responds to the needs of today's generation and also considers the needs of future generations. The present study is an applied research that, considering the cases mentioned, has investigated the environmental effects of ecotourism in South Khorasan province and the position of environmental education in reducing its destructive effects. This means that it covers all the needs of the host and host community and benefits both parties. The method of review is through observation, interview and review of available documents, which first refers to the tourism potentials of this province as well as the problems that have been encountered due to the development of ecotourism. Finally, environmental education has been discussed as the best and most effective way to inform and create a sense of responsibility among the community, especially those who enter it with the aim of protecting nature.

Hence, in recent decades sustainable development is presented as a solution. On the one hand, environmental law is an important key for supervision and management of sustainable development. These rights are effective in determining policies and environmental protection measures as well as rational and sustainable use of natural resources. Declarations of Stockholm 1972, Rio 1992, Johannesburg 2002 and Rio+20 have been mentioned that achieving sustainable development requires environmental protection and orientation of international environmental law is in line with the concept of sustainable development. But in practice, it seems that the sustainable development faces with challenges at the global level. One of the most important of such challenges is the contrast between development and the environment in both developed and developing countries. One of the most dependable sources to deal with these threats and regulate the behavior of international law followers, is international environmental law. Therefore, this article attempts to analyze the binding and non-binding instruments in the field of international environmental law for achieving sustainable development. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, it is impossible to ignore the relationship and effects of optimal energy management in different parts of the city. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects and factors of reducing energy consumption in the sustainable development of Shiraz city. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on field data. The data collection tool is a questionnaire. The statistical population consists of 1,565,572 citizens of Shiraz. Based on Cochran's formula, the sample size was determined to be 384 people. Also, 21 related experts were used for interviews to identify and analyze the factors of reducing energy consumption in Shiraz city. The structural and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed as well as the reliability with Cronbach's alpha above 0. 70. The results show that the factors of reducing energy consumption in sustainable urban development include 20 indicators, which are in total through factor analysis in 5 categories including urban body and form (39. 05), expansion of urban public services (21. 25), use Renewable energy (10. 92), improvement of social indicators (8. 55) and climate adaptation (7. 25) were recognized. Also, based on the content analysis, reducing energy consumption in sustainable urban development has 12 major effects, which using structural equation modeling, this effect is equal to 0. 76. The modeling results show that the most effective reduction of energy consumption on sustainable urban development is related to the improvement of the consumption pattern with a total effect value of 0. 88, followed by environmental protection with an effect of 0. 85, an increase in urban investment resources with an effect of 0. 83, and consumption Optimum energy in the building sector with a total effect of 0. 82. Extended Abstract Introduction: The formation, maintenance and development of a city based on the sustainable development approach requires various indicators. In fact, due to the nature of integration and correlation of various indicators in the sustainable development approach, one cannot hope for the realization of sustainable development in a city except in the shadow of attention and planning based on various economic, social and environmental indicators. In this regard, one of the indicators that has a wide connection with sustainable development and preservation of the environment and various resources is the energy index. Today, with the expansion of population, urbanization and large industries, a large part of energy is consumed in cities. In many cases, the amount of energy consumption in different parts of the city is more than the standard amount, and this issue has created many challenges. Considering the importance of the subject, exploration in various sectors of sustainable urban development and energy consumption is very important and undeniable. A large part of the sustainable development of Iranian cities can be realized by reducing energy consumption; Because energy and its optimal consumption play an important role in different parts of the development of cities. This impact can be seen in various fields of services, environmental management, urban traffic, construction management and buildings, etc. In this research, the aim is to identify and then analyze the effects and factors of reducing energy consumption in sustainable urban development, which was investigated in the case of Shiraz. The city of Shiraz has a special geographical, service, tourism and industrial position, and its multiple role-playing causes the effects of reducing energy consumption in the development of this city to be known and the related factors to be identified. Methodology: The research method is descriptive-analytical in nature and practical in terms of purpose. The statistical population of the study included the citizens of Shiraz and experts familiar with the subject. The population of this city was equal to 1565572 people according to the latest statistics available to the researcher and based on the population and housing census of 2015. Based on Cochran's formula, the statistical sample was calculated as 384 people and the sampling method was random. A statistical sample of 21 experts was also selected. Data collection methods are in two forms: library (documents) and field (survey). The tools of data collection were questionnaires and interviews. The interview method has been used to identify the factors of reducing energy consumption in sustainable urban development and in order to prepare a questionnaire. The structural and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through the elite community, and reliability was also confirmed with Cronbach's alpha above 0. 70. For analysis, the data are summarized, coded and categorized and finally processed to provide the basis for analyzes and connections between these data in order to answer the questions. SPSS and AMOS software were used for data analysis. Quantitative methods were used to measure and analyze the data, which included structural equation modeling and factor analysis. In the method of structural equations, based on the drawn model based on theoretical foundations, various indicators have been placed in the model and the effectiveness of each of the resilience indicators has been determined. Results and discussion: The measurement of sustainable urban development indicators through the T-Tech test shows that except for a few employment indicators of citizens with a significance level of 0. 222; Access of citizens to technology and technology with a significance level of 0. 071 and participation of citizens in city management with a significance level of 0. 055, other indicators were significant at a level less than 0. 05 and equal to 0. 000. Examining the significance direction according to the average indicates that sustainable development indicators include quality of life (2. 882), youth employment (2. 078), economic efficiency (2. 291), poverty reduction (2. 289), improvement of lifestyle Life and consumption pattern (2/085), participation of citizens in city management (2/752), use of clean energy (solar and. . ) (2/205), prevention of excessive city growth (2/362) Preservation of historical and cultural monuments (2/057), preventing the destruction of the city's environment (1/966), air pollution management (2/151) and appropriate distribution of uses (2/640) are in a weak state and this Indicators need serious planning. Also, the result shows that the three indicators of citizens' access to technology and technology with an average of 3. 114, citizens' access to appropriate education with an average of 3. 323 and access to appropriate medical and health centers with an average of 3. 625 are in an average situation and In fact, compared to other indicators of sustainable development in Shiraz, they have more suitable conditions. The results show that the factors for reducing energy consumption in sustainable urban development included 20 indicators. At the level of variables, the highest factor loading was related to the building density factor with a value of 0. 926. Also, two factors of using intelligent energy consumption control systems with a factor load of 0. 920 and using wind energy with a factor load of 0. 910 are known in the second and third ranks. These 20 indicators in total through factor analysis in 5 categories including urban body and form (39/05), expansion of urban public services (21/25), use of renewable energy (10/92), improvement of social indicators (55) 8. ) and climate adaptation (7. 25) were categorized. Also, based on the content analysis, reducing energy consumption in sustainable urban development has 12 major effects, which using structural equation modeling, this effect is equal to 0. 76. In total, it can be said that the 12 examined indicators, including the prosperity of production and economic activities, reducing urban pollution, reducing household expenses, improving the quality of urban life, improving the consumption pattern, increasing access to services, reducing greenhouse gases and etc. can be effective in improving sustainable urban development. Examining the effectiveness of 12 indicators in sustainable urban development shows that the total effect value is 0. 76, and in total, the reviewed indicators can explain about 76% of the variance, role-playing and positive effects in the sustainable urban development of Shiraz. According to the results of this model, the most effective is related to the improvement of the consumption pattern with an explanation of 0. 88. The urban environment preservation index has an explanatory power of 0. 85, the increase of investment has an explanatory power of 0. 83, the optimal energy consumption in the building sector has an explanatory power of 0. 82, and the reduction of household expenses also has an explanatory power of 0. 79 in the field of improving sustainable urban development. Conclusion: In general, it can be concluded that optimal energy consumption and its reduction can be effective in the sustainable development of Shiraz city, and this influence is realized through different patterns and indicators. Also, the result shows that the effects and factors of reducing energy consumption in various economic, social and environmental dimensions show their effectiveness and therefore affect various dimensions of sustainable urban development. Considering these points, the important role of optimizing energy consumption in the development of Shiraz cannot be ignored. In this regard, it is suggested that 1- local (traditional) patterns should be emphasized in order to reduce energy consumption in the buildings of this city in terms of architecture, form, etc. 2- In order to reduce energy consumption in the building sector and achieve sustainable development, it is suggested Incentive schemes for citizens can be strengthened in order to optimize energy consumption. 3- It is suggested that the costs of reducing the optimal energy consumption should be spent in the urban services sector so that citizens can see the results of their optimal consumption in the energy sector. 4- It is suggested that in order to optimize energy consumption and sustainable development of the city Shiraz, the smart infrastructure sector of this city should be upgraded. 5- It is suggested that suitable financial and credit facilities for citizens to use solar energy should be emphasized and planned. 6- It is suggested that the educational dimension related to energy consumption at the level of Shiraz city neighborhoods and in public places. be explained to the citizens.

233 - Evaluation of policies of the Islamic city council in the field of urban planning and architecture of Shiraz city from the perspective of sustainable development
Abdoljalil Sharifi mohammdali shariari Nafiseh Vaez,Councils, as institutions that derive their legitimacy and popularity from the people, can play an important role in urban policy-making through their decisions regarding urban form, especially in the fields of urban planning and architecture. The present study aimed to MoreCouncils, as institutions that derive their legitimacy and popularity from the people, can play an important role in urban policy-making through their decisions regarding urban form, especially in the fields of urban planning and architecture. The present study aimed to evaluate the urban policies of the Islamic City Council of Shiraz in the field of urban planning and architecture from the perspective of sustainable development. The research method was descriptive-survey, using a questionnaire tool. The statistical population of this study consisted of managers and heads of various departments of Shiraz municipality (executive experts) and university professors familiar with the research topic (academic experts). The sample size was calculated to be 113 individuals using Morgan's table. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed. The study's findings indicated that for evaluating the urban policies of the Islamic Council, the Hagoort and Gunn model (1984) consisting of 5 dimensions of issue identification, policy formulation, decision-making, policy implementation, and policy evaluation can be used. To measure these dimensions, 19 components related to urban policy-making were identified based on the opinions of academic and executive experts in the field of urban planning. The results showed that at a significance level of less than 0.05, the dimensions and components related to urban policy-making were significant. The results also indicated that the status of the dimensions and components of the Islamic Council's urban policies was evaluated as average. The Friedman test results for ranking the dimensions and components of policy-making showed that among the dimensions, issue identification and among the components, the delegation of power and resources to the members of the Islamic Council obtained the highest rank. The results of the one-sample t-test also indicated that the performance of the Islamic Council in terms of urban planning and architecture policies was less than 0.05. In the field of urban planning, the best performance of the Islamic Council pertained to the consultation and legal supervision of the urban planning department and its affiliated units with a score of 0.803, and in the field of architecture, the best performance pertained to consultation and approval of regulations and decisions in the field of architecture with a score of 0.705.Extended AbstractIntroduction:In the current climate of urban expansion and urbanization, the Islamic city councils are important civil governance institutions that are responsible for realizing the rights of citizens in the urban area. The city council as a decision-making institution for urban development is more important today than ever before. The importance of councils in the administration of affairs is so great that in the decentralization system of governments where political and administrative power has been transferred to the provincial, urban, and rural levels, councils have significant importance (Tavakliniya and Noor Mohammadi, 2012). It is said that the main purpose of forming the Islamic City Council is to rapidly advance urban development programs through the cooperation and participation of the people, therefore, in Iran, councils find an existential philosophy as one of the institutions that supervise the performance of the public sector (Pirmozen, 2008). Islamic city councils are defined as the main guide of urban activities to realize the management of the urban unit. Therefore, according to the constitution and the approved law of Islamic councils dated (1375), the main task of urban management is assigned to the Islamic councils of the city, whose representatives are elected by the people (Nowrozi Far, 1380).Therefore, because of the aforementioned contents and the lack of research that evaluates the urban policy of the Islamic City Council from the perspective of sustainable development, and because sustainable development emphasizes qualitative and human criteria more than any other criterion, Therefore, to achieve a real stable situation in cities, it is necessary to develop policies to achieve sustainable cities. Therefore, this research seeks to evaluate the urban policies of the Shiraz Islamic Council (as a study) from the perspective of sustainable development, so that appropriate suggestions can be made from the results of such research to promote urban development.Methodology:This research is applied research in terms of nature and purpose. The descriptive-analytical research method and the research strategy used are quantitative. In this research, an attempt is made to use the positivist method in a theoretical framework and to analyze the research problem by using survey and field methods, considering the application of quantitative problems. The statistical population of the research consists of the managers and supervisors of various departments of Shiraz municipality (executive experts), which according to the available statistics include 138 people, as well as university professors familiar with the subject of the research (academic experts), of which 25 people were identified by the researcher. And as a result, the size of the statistical population reached 163 people. Random sampling method was used for sampling from the mentioned population and Morgan's table was used to determine the sample size, and the results showed that the required sample is 113 people. Also, the data collection tool of this research is a researcher-made questionnaire, the questions of which are designed and developed based on the components proposed in the research model (19 questions) and are used to collect data from the studied community after confirming validity and reliability.Results and discussion:After distributing 113 questionnaires among the members of the studied community, finally, 102 valid questionnaires (90% return rate) were obtained for analysis, and the information description of the received questionnaires showed: in terms of gender, nearly 57% (with a frequency of 58 people) of the answers The research respondents are women and about 43% (with a frequency of 44 people) of the respondents are men. Therefore, most of the research respondents are women. In terms of service history, the findings showed that 4.9% (with a frequency of 5 people) had less than 5 years, 41.1% (with a frequency of 42 people) between 5 and 10 years, 53.9% (with a frequency of 55 people ) have between 10 and 15 years of service experience. Therefore, most of the respondents have between 5 and 15 years of work experience (95%). Regarding the level of education, the results showed that 21.5% (with a frequency of 23 people) had a bachelor's degree and 78.4% (with a frequency of 80 people) had a master's degree or higher. Therefore, the absolute majority of respondents have a master's degree or higher. In terms of the type of employment, the results showed that 53.9% of the respondents have formal employment, 42% have contractual employment and the rest have contractual employment.Also, the result of the T-Tech exam indicates the performance of the Islamic Council in terms of policies in the field of urban planning and architecture at a level of less than 0.05. In the field of urban planning, the best performance of the Islamic Council was related to the index of consulting and exercising legal supervision over the deputy of urban planning and its affiliated units with a value of 0.803, and in the field of architecture, the index of consulting and approving regulations and approvals in the field of architecture was with a value of 3.705.Conclusion:The findings of the research showed that to evaluate the urban policies of the Islamic Council of Shiraz from the perspective of sustainable development, it is possible to use the Hogwood and Gann (1984) stage model consisting of 5 dimensions of problem identification, policy formulation, decision making, policy implementation, and policy evaluation. It was found that 19 components were used to measure the aforementioned dimensions according to the opinion of academic and executive experts in the urban area. Also, the results showed that at a significance level of 5%, 5 dimensions and 19 components related to them cannot be rejected. The ranking of the dimensions and components also indicated that among the dimensions that shape the evaluation of urban policies with emphasis on sustainable development, the highest rank is related to problem diagnosis and among the components that shape the evaluation of urban policies with emphasis on sustainable development, the highest ranks were respectively related to the components of the amount of delegation of power and resources to the members of the Islamic Council of the city and attention to urban diplomacy. The final result indicates the average policy situation of Shiraz Islamic Council. In this context, their policies and performance in the field of urban planning and architecture have also been significant. Manuscript profile -

Zahra Mohammadi Reza Valizadeh Ali PanahiOne of the most important steps to achieve balanced and sustainable development is identifying and adapting the city's capacities with balanced and suitable development capacities to utilize maximum capacity service capacities. The unbalanced development of Naqadeh city MoreOne of the most important steps to achieve balanced and sustainable development is identifying and adapting the city's capacities with balanced and suitable development capacities to utilize maximum capacity service capacities. The unbalanced development of Naqadeh city is a dynamic and continuous process and today has become one of the problems of urban spaces during which urban areas and their physical spaces in vertical and horizontal directions have caused the city to expand outside the city limits. Therefore, determining the direction and manner of physical expansion of the city to meet the current needs and forecasting for future needs is essential for urban planners and managers. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of participation and commitment of local community and sustainable security on the research of balanced and sustainable development of Naqadeh in the form of a correlation survey research project. The statistical population of this study was about 127,671 male and female citizens of Naqadeh according to the statistics obtained from Naqadeh governorate. According to the statistical population, the sample was calculated by multi-stage cluster sampling using Cochrane formula with 95% confidence level. The number was 383 (253 males and 130 females). Balanced development, sustainable development, participation and commitment questionnaires of local community, sustainable security were used to collect data. To analyze the data, structural equations (SEM) method with the approach of partial least squares and smartpls3 software has been used. In line with the aim of the research, it was concluded that according to the path coefficient of 0.098 and also considering the amount of T for the first part of the hypothesis (participation and commitment of the local community to the research of balanced and sustainable development) which is equal to 2.523. Also, considering the path coefficient of 0.809 and also considering the amount of T for the second part of the hypothesis (sustainable security on the basis of balanced and sustainable development) which is equal to 25.881. Based on the findings of the research, it can be claimed that the participation and commitment of the local community and sustainable security play an essential role in the realization of balanced and sustainable development of Naqadeh.Extended AbstractIntroduction: due to the increasing urbanization and vulnerability of individuals to environmental-environmental conditions, it is more necessary to pay attention to the issues and principles that provide comfort, security and tranquility for the residents of the city so that planners at the macro level for years not too long ago plan in accordance with the population pyramid. In this regard, considering the demographic conditions and lack of sufficient studies to study the indicators of balanced and sustainable development in Naqadeh city, the present study aimed to evaluate the indicators of balanced and sustainable development in this city. Accordingly, in this research, indicators of participation, commitment of local community, sustainable security and balanced and stable development have been used and the main hypothesis of the research is that participation and commitment of local community and sustainable security have an impact on the realization of balanced and sustainable development of Naqadeh city. It has been studied, evaluated and evaluated.Methodology:This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical method. The population of male and female citizens of Naqadeh city, based on the data of the Statistical Center of Iran and the last general census of population and housing in 2016, is equal to 127,671 people, which is the statistical population of the study. Based on cochran formula calculation and with 5% error coefficient, 383 subjects (253 males and 130 females) were selected as the statistical sample. To analyze the data, structural equations (SEM) method with the approach of partial least squares and smartpls3 software has been used. The research tool in the survey section is a questionnaire. The first part includes demographic information and the second part is related to the variables and items of the research. The questionnaire includes 49 questions.Results and discussion:Based on the scores obtained from the sample and performing the T-test, a sample of the results of the analysis is mentioned in Table 3. As can be seen, the Sig value, which is equal to 0.000, is smaller than α=0.05, and the T statistic value is 21.248, which is greater than +1.96. The overall result will be explained in such a way that in terms of balanced and sustainable development according to the average of the society (4.611) is in the desired situation. Standardized factor loads and T-statistics between all items and hidden variables are more than 1.96 and the significance level is less than 0.05.The coefficient of determination shows that more than 75% of the changes are dependent on The variable of sustainable security and more than 90% of the changes depends on the balanced and sustainable development variable and explains it, and the rest of these changes are dependent on other factors and components that In the model and research is not considered according to table 9, it is concluded that since the calculated t statistics is 19.963 and more than 1.96, therefore, the participation and commitment of the local community and sustainable security are significant in the respect of balanced and sustainable development.Conclusion:The findings show that the research model was accepted considering the extracted mean variance indices, compound reliability, Cronbach's alpha. Also, considering the amount of T for the first part of the hypothesis (the participation and commitment of the local community to the endowment of balanced and sustainable development) which is equal to 2.523.

In this regard the final document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development states with the title of the future we want; if cities are planned and developed as well, they can make it happen the Sustainable economic, social and environmental communities. This organization introduced a model In the name of the Prosperity city to realize the happiness of cities. This can draw the vision of comprehensive development for cities by analyzing the current situation and prioritizing planning interventions. In this research that has been done with the goal evaluation of Prosperity indicators in the neighborhoods of Saqez city; Effective indicators have been identified in the Prosperity of Saqqez neighborhoods Using MicMac software and then these key factors were graded using the copras model at the level of 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city and GIS is used for visual expression. In this study, 49 indicators have been used in five dimensions in order evaluation of Prosperity indicators. 14 key indicators are known using MiceMac software. Research results show that according to the Prosperity indicators of 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city; neighborhoods 16, 19, 4, 11, 10 have little effect which are located in the southeast of the center and west of the city and neighborhoods 22, 21, 9, 2, 20.1 are in a better position to achieve prosperity which are located in the southeast, center and north of the city. Must be said spatial improvement and proper distribution of revenues, Greater cohesion and participation, the possibility of access to neighborhoods with low impact on parks and educational services and better distribution of indicators, especially indicators of productivity and quality of life are the most important proposals at the neighborhood level.Extended AbstractIntroduction: Due to the existing competitive environment and the development of new technologies in the age of globalization, UN-Habitat has taken a new approach in the field of urban development; a holistic and integrated approach to promote welfare and play a public role. This new approach helps cities in better management of the future of the city in the economic, political, social and environmental fields. This approach is called urban prosperity. Prosperity means success, wealth, progress, health or felicity. Urban prosperity creates a sense of individual and public social and economic security for the present and future of cities and it is realized of other immaterial needs and desires and the indicators of urban prosperity are complex and it's a multifaceted issue and understanding these complexities, accessibility indicators, valuation and measurement are important. The spatial structure of a city consists of components and elements and is with each other in interaction and each of these components will be affected on the whole structure. These indicators of urban prosperity are expressed as an urban prosperity cycle; includes: productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, social dimensions and environmental sustainability. In recent decades, Iranian cities encountered with rapid and unstable development and this does not end with urban development and there is a lot of problem, these problems are significant in cities. In the meantime, a multifaceted look and tool must be considered to address urban issues and challenges to guide cities towards real development to achieve this, the CPI is effective. The Urban Prosperity Index was introduced through the UN-Habitat Program and in Iran in the year 2016, it coincided with the start of the city council elections; the approaches of each study must change in accordance with the characteristics of the defined society and be localized. Optimal results can be one of three modes; Intermediate, critical, desirable which is done according to the situation of cities in the future. Optimal condition is required to vision and planning.Methodology: The research method is descriptive-analytical by nature and is done with a functional purpose. In this research, first, it was dealt with a systematic and structural view Review of theoretical literature on urban prosperity then effective indicators and variables were extracted in urban flourishing in five dimensions (Productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, equality and social participation and environmental sustainability), it has been done based on theoretical foundations and using the Delphi method. In the second stage Indicators were analyzed In the MicMac software environment and was scored using the interaction technique (structural analysis method) finally, key factors were extracted in urban prosperity and in the next step leveling in the neighborhoods of Saqez city using the Copras Model. Finally, some suggestions were made.Results and discussion: In this research, 49 indicators of urban prosperity have been measured in 5 dimensions and in Mikomak environment the results indicate,14 key indicators are important; Including creative forces, specialization, life expectancy, unemployment, production, participation, existence of universities, educational services, mortality, industry, mobile services, transportation costs which are known as controlling and influential forces on the open system. The assessment shows this on how to distribute the key factors of urban prosperity in 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city with the Copras Modelm, There has been a huge difference in terms of indicators at the neighborhood level so that neighborhoods 16, 19, 4, 11, 10 were among the neighborhoods with low impact.These neighborhoods are unsuitable neighborhoods in terms of productivity index which are located in the southeast, west and center of the city in these neighborhoods, working conditions have been low due to the greater instability in the dimensions of employment and income, which will be much less depending on the amount of financial support and predict when to get a new job and so on has made more attention. Essential to the mentioned neighborhoods these neighborhoods are unsuitable in terms of infrastructure index and the importance of access is essential to parks and spaces and it can be said that these neighborhoods are in a lower degree in terms of social participation they are located in relation to other neighborhoods. It is necessary to pay attention to these sub-indicators in order to provide prosperity in the area of these neighborhoods, to identify the key issues and problems of these neighborhoods finally, take an appropriate intervention approach. These neighborhoods are at a low level with high population density and incompatible uses and educational services. In these neighborhoods, residents' access to educational centers has faced problems due to the small width of the passages and the instability of the cross section and permeability. The process of proper access to these centers should be on the agenda especially in neighborhoods 16 and 19 and with the support of the public and government sectors and it should be noted that The revitalization process should not lead to the loss of the identity of these neighborhoods. Intervention in these neighborhoods must be maintained structural values and physical properties as well as nature No building materials have been used in these neighborhoods Complies with standards and do not have the necessary retrofitting facilities. This is the instability of buildings and structures a great threat to the lives of the residents of these neighborhoods and increase mortality in the face of natural disasters and it changes the life expectancy of the residents and neighborhoods 22, 21, 9, 2, 20, 1 are in the first ranks in order to achieve the prosperity of Saqez neighborhoods.Conclusion: The result of the research showed that Productivity and quality of life indicators have higher scores and infrastructure, social, and sustainability indicators have the lowest scores among the indicators of urban prosperity which can be a great guide for urban management.

The most important distinguishing point of this research with similar researches is the use of the combined method of inferential statistics - spatial interpolation - structural relations. The present research method is descriptive and analytical in terms of nature and is practical in terms of purpose. To collect of information, a library-document and field-survey method was used. The tools of data collection are in several ways: observation, questionnaire, and taking notes. The statistical society of this research is the residents of Kouye Salar neighborhood, which has 18,000 people according to the 2016 census of the Statistics Center. To determine the sample size, Cochran's formula was used and the sample size was 376, which was distributed in the study area using the cluster random sampling method. One-sample t-test was used for quantitative data analysis and IDW method was used for spatial data analysis. The DEMATEL model has been used to evaluate the relationship between the livability dimensions. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and the reliability of the questionnaires was also confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test with the alpha coefficient value of 0.775. Based on the results of the research, the dimensions of livability, which include social, economic, environmental, urban management, historical pattern, and facilities and services, have obtained average of 2.94, 2.07, 3.01, 1.25, 1.83, and 2.55, respectively and also, the livability level is unfavorable with an average of 2.27. Also, the results of the spatial analysis of the livability dimensions in Kouye Salar neighborhood show that about 66% of the neighborhood is in an unfavorable condition. According to the results of DEMATEL model, the dimensions of urban management, economic and facilities and services as "cause" and the three dimensions of environment, social and history pattern as "disability" are extracted and shown in the livability of the locality territory. Extended AbstractIntroduction The ever-increasing growth of Urmia's urban population and on the other hand the city's transformation into a megalopolis has always challenged the level of quality of life, or in better words, the level of urban livability. In this regard, due to the unprincipled physical expansion of the city of Urmia from the north, it has caused the formation of informal settlements such as Kouye Salar, which has significant problems and deficiencies in terms of urban equipment and service uses, because of the unplanned development. Due to the rapid growth and development caused by the presence of a large number of immigrants from other regions, Kouye Salar neighborhood is experiencing many problems due to inefficiency in dimensions such as economic and urban management. This neighborhood, which is located in the 2nd region of Urmia, has a diverse population and is more suitable for immigrants. One of the main problems of the mentioned neighborhood is the informality and the lack of service and urban equipment uses. Therefore, the main purpose of the research is an analysis of the livability situation in Kouye Salar neighborhood. Among the innovative aspects of the research, we can mention the section of research method, which analyzed this neighborhood in terms of livability by combining spatial data and a questionnaire. The most important distinguishing point of this research with similar researches is the use of the combined method of inferential statistics-spatial interpolation-structural relations, so that a specialized expert's view is also made on the livability of Kouye Salar in addition to considering the votes and opinions of the neighborhood residents. Another distinction is the use of all livability dimensions, indicators and variables for a neighborhood, because usually, this range of components is used in extra-local scales and inferential and spatial statistical methods are also used in the same way.Methodology The present research method is descriptive and analytical in terms of nature and is practical in terms of purpose. To collect of information, a library-document and field-survey method was used, which In the first step, the background and theoretical literature of livability was collected from scientific articles and authentic documents, and then the field survey of the studied area was done. The tools of data collection are in several ways: observation, questionnaire, and taking notes. The statistical society of this research is the residents of Kouye Salar neighborhood, which has 18,000 people according to the 2016 census of the Statistics Center. Cochran's formula with an error percentage of 0.05 was used to determine the sample size, and a sample size of 376 was obtained which was distributed using cluster random sampling method in the study area. SPSS and GIS software were used for data analysis. Quantitative analysis of data through one-sample t-tests and spatial analysis of data through IDW method in the geographic information system have been done in order to evaluate the status of livability indicators and provide suggested solutions to improve the status of this neighborhood. Also, to evaluate the relationship between dimensions of livability, the DEMATEL, which is one of the multi-indicator decision-making methods, has been used and the opinions of 4 experts (urban planning, social, economic and social worker experts), who had sufficient knowledge of the research subject, were used in order to complete the initial matrix. To evaluate the validity of the questionnaire, experts in the fields of urbanism and urban planning were used, who confirmed its validity. Also, the reliability of the questionnaires has been evaluated through Cronbach's alpha test for about 20 questionnaires, which shows the good reliability of the questionnaire with the alpha coefficient value of 0.775.Results and discussionThe findings of this research show that according to the data from the field collection and the questionnaire and the results of the one-sample test, the qualitative status of the social, economic, facilities and services, urban management and historical pattern respectively with an average of 2.94, 2.07, 2.55, 1.25, 1.83 are at the lower than average level and the environmental dimension is at the average level with an average value of 3.01. The social and environmental dimensions are in the intermediate and medium to high level, which as mentioned earlier, factors such as relative security, establishment of ritual ceremonies, lack of differences and ethnic conflicts, reducing the level of pollution and proportionate collection of waste, have had a great impact on the relevant situation. The average level of facilities and services is mostly due to the existence of gas, electricity, drinking water network and provision of daily needs of the people, which mostly reflects the quantitative aspect, while Kouye Salar neighborhood has poor quality of drinking water and noticeable drop in water pressure in the warm season and the roads inside the neighborhood are not up to standard and quality, and at the same time, access to important services such as education and health is not optimal and is associated with difficulties and challenges for the residents. The neighborhood’s economy, regardless of its unfavorable and critical situation on a national scale, has complex conditions and the most important reason is the lack of attractiveness and fields for investment and entrepreneurship, and the existing micro-enterprises are currently operating with minimal production capacity and they are deprived of the necessary support and facilities. The worst situation is for urban management and historical patterns. Kouye Salar neighborhood, despite its historical background, does not have any suitable symbols and its public spaces, such as the network of roads, lack the necessary qualitative appeal. These factors have caused the overall livability level of the neighborhood to be defined as unfavorable, with an average of 2.27, and thus, the contrast and heterogeneity of an enclosed low-privileged place in the bio-peripheral circle is revealed with urban livability standards. Also, the results of the spatial analysis of the collected field data show that the situation of social, economic, environmental, urban facilities and services, urban management and historical pattern dimensions in the neighborhood is in an unfavorable situation, and these factors have caused a decrease in the level of livability in Kouye Salar neighborhood, so that this neighborhood with an area of 511,486 m2 is at an unfavorable level and with an area of 262,972 m2 at an intermediate level.ConclusionThe target neighborhood has also been examined from view of structure and cause and effect analysis, and according to DEMATEL model, the degree of influential - effectiveness of each of the dimensions on the neighborhood livability (according to unfavorable, intermediate and favorable components) has been investigated which according to the desired factors and indicators, dimensions of urban management, economic and facilities and services as "cause" and three dimensions of environment, social and historical pattern as "disabled", are extracted and shown in the livability of the locative territor Manuscript profile -

The establishment of cement plants in Iran is accompanied by huge investments that aim to create jobs and have others economic aspects; this trend is on the rise. However, cement plants contribute to environmental pollutions. Therefore, understanding the effect of activities in these potentially polluting centres will greatly help determine future strategies. For the control and prevention of pollution, it is necessary to use a model for the quantitative assessment of environmental impacts. In this study, the Folchi method has been using to recognize and identify environmental pollution by cement plants and effective solutions to decrease the negative impacts of environmental pollution by Shahrood cement plant. According to the results, the contamination generated by the plant, especially for environmental components such as air quality, area landscape, soil of the area, ecology, and area usage are more significant than other environmental components. The EIA results are then obtained and used to assess the sustainability of the complex using Phillips mathematical model. The obtained results indicate that this complex is unsustainable; therefore, preventive environmental activities must be recommended with a preference to reduce environmental damages through its components.

However, the Portland cement manufacturing method has significant downsides, as one ton of Portland cement produces approximately one ton of carbon dioxide. As a result, it appears that an alternative to Portland cement is required. The notion of "waste-free" development and the manufacturing of new materials with a lower environmental impact than the priorities, on the other hand, will be the aims of future cities' sustainable development. To continue developing environmentally friendly materials, it is vital to understand the environmental stimuli of new materials as well as assess the environmental effects of traditional building materials. Geopolymer has recently gained popularity as a sustainable, environmentally acceptable substance that can be used instead of Portland cement. Geopolymers are ceramic-like materials with three-dimensional poly-compact structures that are made by chemically activating aluminum and silica-containing solids at low temperatures. Trash or by-products from industry can be used to make geopolymer concrete for use in building, such as coal combustion ash, smelting furnace slag, construction waste, or agricultural waste such as rice paddy. The purpose of this article is to look at the viability of using geopolymer technology in sustainable materials for sustainable urban development in order to reduce pollution and analyze the life cycle. Based on research findings, geopolymer concretes have much better mechanical and chemical quality and also much less energy consumption than conventional concrete and have significant environmental benefits.

Educational space is undoubtedly one of the strategies to achieve this goal and pursues the two goals of training and educating graduates. The type and nature of space has played a double role in teaching disciplines such as architecture and art, where feeling and visualization are the main pillars and important advanced tools. Today, the important principle in educational spaces, especially in colleges, which includes a set of concepts and values, is rarely felt, and this reduces the sense of belonging to space.At the same time, establishing communication with artistic educational spaces, as well as communication between people in it, has a major role in improving the level of education. Studies show that the main criterion for measuring the quality of space in schools and colleges is the level of satisfaction of its users, which also depends on the compliance of the physical environment with the set of human needs and expectations. This important principle is provided through the design of flexible spaces with adaptability, variability and diversity capabilities, and strengthens the possibility of alumni gathering and interaction.The purpose of this study is to investigate the qualitative factors affecting the improvement of space quality in schools and colleges of architecture by expanding the concept of spatial quality. This article descriptively-analytically explains the design principles of architecture schools based on improving the quality of space and increasing concentration, calm and comfort.

In this regard, the protection of the environment and the reasonable and fair use of resources in order to achieve a sustainable future, according to which the rights of future generations are guaranteed, is considered the duty of the international community. The concept of sustainable development and the environment in the framework of the rights of future generations, which first entered the field of international law with the adoption of the United Nations Charter in 1945 and subsequently developed in international environmental law with the issuance of the Stockholm Declaration of 1972, is significant. However, the concept of "rights of future generations" as a moral or normative principle faces many ambiguities. In this research, by reviewing the available texts and library documents, the policies of the organizations and institutions of the international community on sustainable development and the environment have been investigated. Reference to future generations has been made in a wide range of national and international legal documents, including treaties, declarations, conventions and constitutions, and national institutions have also been established in various jurisdictions with the authority to protect the interests of future generations.

It is also possible to know the exact amount of minable reserve, due to its location in the underground and the operating limitations, when the entire reserve is extracted. Therefore, the effective parameters in the technical and economic evaluation of mining projects are highly diverse and all of them are subject to wide variations with respect to the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of the data. This process is caused by causes beyond human control, and sometimes, no matter how much it costs, full information is not possible. Hence, in all mining projects, in calculating income and expenditure figures and therefore economic calculations, they have to take into account the margin of confidence and are required to calculate risk. It would make more logical to consider the probabilistic changes of effective parameters in the economic analysis of mining projects. And taking into account the least and most likely occurrence of each row. When one of the most important issues with uncertainty is the price of metal, then uncertainty in the ultimate pit limit determination is raised. Since metal price prediction is uncertain, chaos theory and fractal geometry can be used to predict metal price. In this study, chaos theory and fractal geometry have been used to estimate the metal price correctly, since the metal price changes follow fractal and chaotic behavior. Therefore, if a correct estimate of the metal price is obtained, the ultimate pit limit will be close to reality and based on that the optimal pit limit can be obtained, which according to the principles of sustainable development leads to the metal mining at a lower price and the ultimate pit limit is more sustainable and has better environmental protection.

According to the trend, sustainable urban development will be caused if urban planners present the theory of neo-urbanism to save urban centers, and the officials of urban affairs develop plans in the direction of pedestrian traffic, if they themselves put some kind of neo-urbanism in their agenda. In this article, various pedestrian indicators, including pedestrian indicators, sustainable development indicators and tourism indicators, were compiled based on questionnaires and were compiled using the methods of hypothesis testing, equality of averages, a population t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and then ranking indicators based on Weighted entropy and finally TOPSIS method. The analysis of the data has been carried out and the measurement of pedestrian traffic has been done using the HQE2R model, and the analysis of pedestrians, surface service and pedestrian services has been used according to the 2016 HCM manual. Also, the accessibility, movement structure and strategic components of Imam street will be approved through Arc-GIS software and maps of Imam street will be designed. The results of the data analysis and the models used in the research indicate that the indicators in the process of pedestrian regeneration in Semnan city will be correctly defined and can be effective. But the level of service in this area is low. In order to have a sustainable development, the pedestrian axis becomes important in this street and requires higher level services. Manuscript profile -

In this regard, purpose of the present study is to investigate the rate of livability in the NourAbad Delphan city for it leads to sustainable development. The method of this research is descriptive and analytical, using a questionnaire and direct observation tool. Therefore, a combination of quantitative and qualitative method is used. The statistical population of this study was all citizens of norabad city, which totaled 66417 in the year 1395. To estimate the sample size, a Cochran formula was used that number The sample was 384 according to this formula. After determining the sample size, the questionnaires were distributed randomly among the citizens. In addition, the researcher in person has directly observed the indicators studied at the city level. The obtained data were analyzed using Spss and T single-sample tests, Friedman test The results of this study showed that the dimensions of Livablity in Nourabad city were not coordinated and not equal, and then the environment with a total of 3 favorable and average indicators was 2.55 times higher than that of the city and more consistent with the criteria of the city of Livablity. Subsequent to the total of 6 indicators, 2 indicators of education , Social solidarity and social status, and the four indicators of the amount of leisure time services, health services, social security, social participation, and unfavorable status. The average score for the social dimension was 1.90. The last stage of the economic adventure was characterized by four indicators, which indicate that the housing and consumer goods in the optimal situation, the transport indicator, and the infrastructure are also relatively favorable and the employment index is in an extremely unfavorable situation. The undesirable index of employment in the city has not only greatly reduced the Livablity, which has caused permanent and seasonal migrations and especially young people in the city of Nur Abad. Thus, the dimensions of the habitability in the city of Nurabad are associated with severity and weakness, and the greater the extent of the environment to the Moving social and economic dimensions reduces the severity of Livablity.

It will not be found unless it builds the necessary infrastructure that has been a factor in achieving sustainable development, but it is also important to pay attention to the role of human beings and the education of this strange creature, as it is the ethical and creative city of a healthy city. But exactly where and in what manner and for what purpose it should be managed is the most important question of the present study. To answer this important question, we went to the library resources and followed some of them in the field, and based on the existing statistical tests, we concluded that Tehran had more population in the heart of its ecological potential. This has led to cultural diversity in the city of Tehran, as well as the lack of necessary personal and social education and exploitation, as well as the lack of education in achieving citizenship rights as one of the most important issues facing the Iranian capital. That's why there are so many problems in the areas of transportation, beautification, children, and the elderly and so on. The creative city is a city that, after being firmly rooted in the beliefs that seek to apply the principles of urban design, is suitable for all segments of society and how many people To be more committed to the principles of social ethics is actually to build a better social relationship and, subsequently, to build a healthier, more dynamic society. This healthy and secure city can provide ideas and be the creator of a creative city. And Isfahan has been pioneering in this regard and has been able to provide the necessary background for achieving this.

Optimizing land cover monitoring is an inevitable necessity in natural resource management. Given the evidence and effects of climate change in the region and the declining and increasing trend of some coverages and land uses can be effective in prioritizing conservation and zoning strategies. Factors such as land resources, environment, population, economy and society must be taken into account for sustainable development. Any type of development, regardless of quantity or quality, has specific environmental effects (1). Over time, dam construction has made some changes in the land cover - use of dams, in this study we aim to detect these changes. Therefore, for detecting cover changes - upstream and downstream of the Khordad 15 Khordad Dam during the period 201–990 1990, first visualize the changes using Googel Earth, then use Landsat 5 (1990 image) before.

Therefore, the changes of air pollutants and traffic restrictions are investigated as one of the sub-categories of environmental indicators of sustainable urban development in the period of 2018/01/21 to 2022/03/20 in the stations under the supervision of Tehran city. First, the data is collected, processed and cleaned. Machine learning methods including decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, Bayesian network and perceptron neural network are applied to select the effective features using the particle swarm optimization method. Investigations showed that the prediction model using decision tree and random forest had the best performance for both precision and recall criteria. The results of the research showed that the concentration of pollutants in the period of Covid-19 compared to before, is increased in some stations and decreased in others, and also the application of traffic restrictions during the epidemic did not have a significant and noticeable effect in reducing the concentration of air pollutants. Also, by examining the trend of deaths during the epidemic period, it was found that the decrease or increase of pollutants has no significant relationship with the trend of deaths caused by Covid-19.

The purpose of this research is to identify the impact of agricultural development on the instability of groundwater resources. Most studies have criticized the government management in the field of agricultural hardware; however, this article studies the research community along with evaluating the unilateral role of government in policy advice, and methods of sustainable agricultural development to conserve groundwater resources. The analytical method has been used in the present study. Among the goals of sustainable development in the UN document, economic growth and agricultural promotion along with sustainable water use has been selected.Based on the development plans of Iran as an upstream document, can be concluded that since we have practically witnessed the imbalance of production and consumption, the agricultural development policy of the government has violated the standards of sustainable development by ignoring stakeholder participation in maintaining water inventory. In the end, with understanding the importance of the water cycle as one of the requirements of sustainable development, it is suggested that by relying on good governance and integrated management, we can use the previous researches and local actors to achieve sustainable agricultural development.

Development could have positive impact on society if it is sustainable and balanced one. To achieve this end, proper use of all nation’s capacities and potentials is a must requirement to be realized. Only then, one could expect to have structure and function of economic and political development be adopted to the condition and the needs of society. Iran in Shah’s era, with large oil revenue in the period of 1962-79, failed to achieve desired economic and political development. The main reason for this failure was that the model of national development was mostly based on the models employed in developed nations rather than be accommodated to the nation’s internal realities. In other word, not paying enough attention to the level of nation’s capacity and potential not only did not exert a positive role in the nation’s development instead it led to the nation’s undevelopment and also capital embezzlement. Hence, in spite of rising oil revenue and land reform which increased the economic power of the people, however, sustainable growth did not materialized. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, growth indices and survival indices and daily growth rate of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp were compared in two systems with and without immaturity. Three ponds of larval pl12 and another three ponds of unripe shrimp were stored for 45 days in the greenhouse with the same density of 100,000 pieces per hectare in the pound one of the in Abadan Choebdeh shrimp farms. The same food was fed and after 75 days, growth and survival indices, feed conversion ratio and daily growth rate were calculated .The study was performed in 6 pounds of 7000 m2 in two treatments with 3 replications. The breeding period was 75 days and the average temperature was27±5°C. The results showed that in the treatment that used nursery system shrimp in breeding ponds, there was a significant difference in growth, survival and daily growth rate compared to the control group. Also, the production per hectares and final weight were significantly higher than the control group and the feed conversion ratio in the nursery system treatment was significantly lower than the control group. Due to the reduction of shrimp production time in this system compared to the control group. Therefore, nursery system reduces the risk of disease and more economical production and sustainable development of the industry. Manuscript profile -

As a particular organization whose decisions can greatly impact the environment and citizens’ personal lives, the government should be held accountable for the quality of executive behavior incongruence with sustainable development. Hence, the current exploratory, developmental study aimed to operationalize a performance assessment model based on sustainable development to assess employees in public organizations. Initially, the intended model was designed based on an in-depth literature review and interview with a snow ball sample of 23 expert executive managers in the ministry of health headquarters. Next, a questionnaire was designed and administered to a straight random sample of 202 employees and managers of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education selected based on Kukran Table. The collected data were then analyzed via structural equation modelling, factor analysis and Lisrel software. The results identified four factors of sustainable development-based performance assessment model including economic, social-cultural, political and environmental. The results also revealed that the environmental and social-cultural factors had priority. Accordingly, suggestions and applications of the model are discussed to improve the performance evaluation of staff sustainable development. Manuscript profile -

The qualitative findings included identifying 27 challenges in six dimensions: economic, cultural and social, managerial, organizational, infrastructure and technology, market and design. In quantitative terms, the findings showed that economic challenges are the most effective and market and design challenges are the most affected challenges in implementing a circular economy. Also, the organizational challenges were found to interact more with other challenges. In a more complete analysis, the challenges of market uncertainty (e.g., recession), the existence of a linear mindset in the managers, the lack of systematic and circular thinking, and the challenge of low customer demand for recycled products are the most important challenges in implementing a circular economy in polluting industries such as the glass industry. In addition, the impact and effectiveness of each of the challenges were identified in their relationship to each other, which can be a roadmap for the use of managers and experts of different organizations to implement a circular economy.

We consider those goals which are most pertinent to homelessness according to [13]. We rank countries with respect to the achievement of these goals. We use fuzzy similarity measures to determine the degree of similarity between these rankings. We use three methods to rank the counties, namely, the Analytic Hierarchy Process, the Guiasu method, and the Yen method. Overall scores of categories in some basic research papers pertaining to Sustainable Development Goals were obtained by using multiplication of the scores of the category’s targets. Multiplication was used to agree with the philosophy that in order for a high score to be obtained, all targets must have a high score. To support this philosophy in the decision process, we use the t-norms bounded difference, algebraic product, and standard intersection as experts. We also suggest a way the techniques used here can be extended to nonstandard analysis Manuscript profile -

On the other hand, the use of prefabricated strategies leads to the realization of sustainable transportation goals, which has not been considered in the design of airports in the country. This issue is very important in Imam Khomeini International Airport (RA) due to its special and strategic location. In the design of the said airport, an attempt was made to use modern architectural methods, regardless of the socio-cultural indicators of the area, and due to its distance from the city center, from an economic and environmental point of view, there are also adverse effects in achieving the goals of sustainable transportation. Methodology: In this research, after reviewing specialized texts in the field of airport design, modern methods of pre-fabrication, as well as the importance of sustainable transportation approach, approaches and indicators of airport design in order to promote sustainable transportation based on the application of the method. New prefabs are examined and extracted. This research, which is practical from the point of view of the goal, and the type of research is a combination, and a quantitative-qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical method of field and survey studies has been used. The required indicators of the research were extracted from the study and review of specialized texts and were given to 50 experts in the fields of architecture, urban planning and aviation in the form of a questionnaire. The method of data analysis is using t-test, Friedman, factor analysis and structural equation modeling method. In this part of the research, smartpls3 and spss20 software were used. Results: The "economic" dimension with an average rating of 2.73 plays the most impact from the point of view of realizing the goals of sustainable architecture through modern methods of prefabrication. In the following, the "biological-environmental" dimension with an average ranking of 1.94 and then the "social-cultural" dimension with an average ranking of 1.33 respectively have the greatest impact on the realization of sustainable architecture goals through pre-construction strategies in the design of airports. Conclusion: The attention of the majority of experts and designers is generally on the economic and environmental aspects of modern pre-fabrication methods, and from the perspective of socio-cultural aspects. and its alignment with the mentioned component is not given the necessary attention, therefore, one of the main reasons for the lack of success and progress of pre-fabrication methods in the design of airports in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development can be attributed to the lack of attention of designers and city officials to He knew the socio-cultural component and related indicators. Therefore, in addition to the two environmental and economic components, we should use the socio-cultural component and its indicators in the design of airports in order to have more social acceptability and, as a result, a smoother path towards the realization of sustainable development goals.

In this research, using the integration of network analysis process and geographic information system, the ecological potential of urban development in Shabestar city has been evaluated in order to determine the suitable areas for this purpose. In order to achieve the goal, first the effective criteria in urban development were identified according to the research conducted and experts' opinions were collected through the Delphi method, and finally 7 criteria and 11 sub-criteria were selected. Then, using the pairwise comparison method, the importance of the criteria was determined relative to each other, and the criteria were weighted using the network analysis process. Finally, the information layers needed in the GIS environment were applied to them based on the fuzzy logic of valuation and the obtained weights, and the ecological power map was obtained using the weighted superimposition of the layers. The results obtained from the research show that 28% of the area of Shabestar city has completely adequate capacity, 24% has adequate capacity, which indicates the high capacity of the region for development. These areas mainly include the southern part of the city, which extends from east to west. On the other hand, only 14% of the area is completely unsuitable and 17% is designated as unsuitable, which includes the northern heights of the city. Based on these matters and according to the final classification map, it can be concluded that the favorable areas for the future physical development of Shabestar city are mostly in the southern part of this city.

In this regard, some cities attract the population and others, such as border areas, repel the population. Due to the role of border cities in order to ensure the internal security of countries, the need for proper planning in order to improve the indicators of sustainable development in these areas is strongly felt. In general, it can be said that sustainability in cities seeks to successfully respond to current needs without compromising future needs in order to achieve a dynamic economy and a healthy natural environment with the cooperation of various organizations and people. Cities are a complex and living integrated system that includes economic, social, cultural, and physical components, and sustainable development, which is one of the main goals of United Nations policies and activities and the constant debate of developed and underdeveloped countries, is a process that requires improvement and Progress has been mentioned in various fields. For this purpose, the present study has been written with the aim of examining the components of sustainable urban development in border areas (Marivan of Iran and Kalar of Iraq) and to provide solutions to achieve the desired situation. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of exploratory-comparative nature which for data analysis has been used of structural equation modeling in Amos software. The statistical population of the study also included the citizens of Marivan and Kalar cities, which based on Cochran's formula, 383 people were determined as the sample size for each city. Findings show that the highest feasibility of sustainable development dimensions in Kalar city are related to sustainable community and culture, sustainable environment and body, sustainable security and sustainable economy with coefficients of 0.57, 0.52, 0.45 and 0.37, respectively, and in Marivan city were related to environment and sustainable body, sustainable community and culture, sustainable security and sustainable economy with coefficients of 0.61, 0.54, 0.48 and 0.46, respectively. The results also indicate that the situation of sustainable security and sustainable economy in these two cities is not appropriate and in Marivan city is slightly more favorable in sustainability indicators than of Kalar city.Also, the results indicate that the lack of proper planning and management of the studied cities has caused these cities to be in a state of disarray in various dimensions, such as the lack of citizens' awareness and preparation and exposure to crises, and the lack of job opportunities and access to stable incomes. Therefore, considering the integration of the concept of sustainability in different dimensions and the realization of sustainable development in a comprehensive and systemic approach, the need for strategic planning is felt in order to realize integrated sustainable development by considering different dimensions in the studied cities. Also, the root of many socio-economic issues and problems of backwardness of border areas, especially many security issues, should be considered in the general inadequacies and underdevelopment of these areas and neglecting them.

It includes different social, economic, and environmental dimensions. Addressing the issue of housing, which is the most important urban element, is crucial in sustainable urban development since housing development affects the economy, culture, and social issues in addition to the environment. In the present study, a library method was used to collect the desired information, and a descriptive method (case example) was used to achieve the final goal of the study, which is to propose a sustainable building with reduced energy consumption in the Saadat Abad area of Tehran using the building information modeling method. First, the necessary information was collected by reviewing various studies and the design work began based on these studies and the use of architectural design methods. Then, based on Iran’s construction rules and regulations, and requirements, a basic plan was obtained and this plan was modeled in Revit Architecture software. Design Builder software was used to measure the degree of closeness to the principles of sustainability in architecture. Considering the dimension of time in the design causes the skylight and the terrace of the building can be converted into a greenhouse in the cold seasons of the year. In the hot seasons of the year, the skylight has only the role of the skylight of the building, and it naturally causes the ventilation of different parts of the building due to the suction. The terrace of the building has only the role of a semi-open space that casts a shadow on the related interior parts.

One of the important challenges among tourism planners is the existence of different views and attitudes regarding the effects of the construction of ecotourism resorts, which leads to the formation of different thought patterns. Identifying and explaining these thought patterns is an important application for tourism planners in adopting the best programs. The villages of Moran district in Garmi city of Ardabil province are considered as important eco-tourism spaces of the province. The main purpose of the research is to identify and analyze the prevailing thought patterns on the effects of creating eco-tourism resorts on the dimensions of Moran rural development. For this purpose, the necessary data were collected through survey and libraries methods. The statistical sample is a combination of 60 experts, including rural participants and experts. The analytical model of Q has been used. Based on the results of this model, four thought patterns governing the effects of ecotourism resorts on sustainable rural development in Moran were identified that the first thought pattern is very important compared to other patterns. According to the first intellectual model, eco-tourism resorts in general have had positive and high impacts on various sectors of rural development in Moran. Also, other models are different from the first model in terms of impact assessment and have a relatively different attitude to the effects of eco-tourism resorts on Moran rural development.

While limited studies have been carried out in the country and so far this important issue has not been considered in practical regional and national policies and planning. In order to fill this research and management gap, the present study aims to assess the ecological sustainability of Tutli Watershed located in the north of North Khorasan Province using the conceptual framework of Hydrology, Environment, Life, and Policy (HELP) and calculate the Watershed Sustainability Index (WSI). In this assessment process, 14 variables were used, which were classified into three categories of Pressure (P), State (S), and Response (R) indices and four HELP criteria based on the their nature. Accordingly, the mean scores of P, S and R indices for Tutli Watershed were obtained 0.65, 0.85 and 0.35, respectively. Furthermore, the average scores of hydrological (H) and environmental (E) criteria were equal to 0.58 and the scores of life (L) and policy criteria (P) were equal to 0.66. The results of combining all the studied criteria and indicators showed that the total WSI score is 0.62 and indicates the level of average ecological sustainability. The results could be applied to plan, protect and identify critical areas and to direct management strategies. It is also recommended to improve the watershed sustainability level from medium to good by adopting appropriate policies and effective conservation programs. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, paying attention to services and how to distribute them in cities is a basic principle in the direction of sustainable development of cities and the basis of spatial justice. The aim of this research is spatial analysis of urban services in ten areas of Tabriz metropolis. For this purpose, the library method was used to collect information. The present study is descriptive-analytical in terms of purpose and applied in terms of results. To analyze and distribute urban services, 17 types of public services were used using quantitative models and also to determine the type of relationship between population and urban services, Pearson correlation test was used in Excel. The results showed that zones 2 and 3 have the best situation in terms of distribution of urban services and region 9 is in an unfavorable situation and has the least public services. The results also show a low correlation between municipal services and population. In general, the findings indicate that the distribution of services is not done properly and is more focused and polar. Therefore, suggestions were made to get out of this situation and achieve a balanced distribution of the city's public services. Manuscript profile -

Indexes of sustainable development in dimensions of environmental geography can be used as suitable criteria to determine the place of cities and solve their problems and shortcomings in order to achieve economic welfare and residents' social-cultural health to obtain urban sustainable development. In this regard having developmental-applied nature and descriptive-analytic method, recognizing and assessing environmental sustainability purpose, that is prioritizing sustainable development in Yazd province and using Entropy-TOPSIS model and GIS, Visio, Grafer, SPSS and Excel software and 50 indicators (hygienic, environmental, cultural, economic and social) the current research aims to analyze the studied subject in the province. The results showed that in matrix model the grouping class difference of provinces' cities was not regular in terms of population and there was not urban place in intervals between the first floor and top floor of the matrix. So 44.22% of the cities' population distributed on the first floor and the entropy coefficient confirmed it. Its coefficient was (-0.37) in 2006 and (-0.23) in 2011 which indicated the relative movement of the urban hierarchy towards instability and more concentration. Finally development prioritization obtained using TOPSIS indicated that Yazd and Abarkuh were the most developed regions having levels 0.973 and 0.610. Manuscript profile -

This study is a practical-developmental research aimed at measuring the status of social sustainability in the neighborhoods of Yazd using a descriptive-analytical method, by using the fuzzy TOPSIS statistical test and correlation coefficient. The research data was collected from the detailed plan of the city of Yazd in 2017, the statistical center, and field studies of research indicators using a questionnaire. The statistical population includes citizens over 15 years old in Yazd, and the sample size was determined based on Cochran's formula of 400 people, randomly selected by stratified random sampling in proportion to the population of neighborhoods. Four main indicators of population changes, participation, security, and quality of life were examined. The results showed a strong correlation between the quality of life index and social sustainability. The quality of life index had the highest effect and significant relationship with social sustainability with a correlation coefficient of 0.948, while the security and participation indices had correlation coefficients of 0.721 and 0.673, respectively. The migration index did not have a significant relationship with social sustainability in the neighborhoods of Yazd (correlation coefficient of 0.217). Among the neighborhoods, Safaieh, Imam Shahr, and Kooy-e Talghani were the most sustainable, while Eish Abad, Khair Abad, and the airport were the least sustainable in terms of social aspects.

Therefo MoreLand use planning program has always been the most important factor in urban planning, because it determines land use and spatial structure of cities, on the one hand, and on the other hand it also determines the economic value of each piece of land. Therefore, different perspectives are presented on ways of using this important resource that are important regardless of quality of life issues, while the quantity, per capita and access are considered. In the recent decades changes have happened to the urban planning. Consequently, land use planning has been neglected and attention to land quality issues were rare. There have been times when solutions have been offered for improving it, however, inefficient and inadequate. In this regard, approaches to sustainable development with emphasis on efficient use of land has provided a new approach in urban planning and has been followed by the most important element of it - Land use planning. In this paper it has been tried to choose most important indicators that are effective on urban land use; also this indicators were adapted on sustainable devel0opment then they were used for evaluation of urban sustainability of urban land use. Since the protection of monuments and their privacy were of the most important elements of sustainable development, indicators were chosen with emphasis on protection of monuments and privacy compliance date . Further we were trying to combined these indicators with other indicators of urban sustainable development. For this purpose order maps showing space density were used to determine Kernel density estimation (KDE) and for combination of layers and providing the final map on AHP model. The results show that districts located in the eastern half – New city districts- have more stability than the districts located in thewestern half in city of Susa. Manuscript profile -

Sustainable environmental or ecological tourism is the expansion of the tourism industry and the attraction of tourists to the country using the existing resources in such a way that, while responding to the economic, cultural, social and legal requirements of society and the expectations of tourists, unity and integrity may be achieved. Cultural identity and environmental health can balance and provide the welfare for people and their guests in a balanced and continuous manner to an optimum level. The main design of the study is based on the analytical approach in a library-based and survey which analyzes the information related to the theoretical foundations of tourism industry; then, the foundations of sustainable tourism and its relationship with the factors shaping ecological tourism have been considered with the aim of promoting tourism collections in the understudy area based on the existing theories. Finally, the process of forming the ecological tourism complexes has been distinguished. The results of the research showed that the formation of ecological tourism complexes around natural-historical attractions in our country can be an effective step in sustainable tourism development; also, if "physical tourism planning" in Iran is done in a systematic way, it can create job opportunities and increase the value of currency.

Despite the fact that more than 100 years of Tehran's urban modern-city management system, but due to the overwhelming focus of the government in the management of cities, municipalities and councils, they still do not have the necessary independence for their decision making and urban policy. Therefore, attention and explanation of this issue is one of the most important issues which is necessary considering the development of physical, spatial and demographic development, as well as the complexity and complexity of the problems and challenges of Tehran. This paper is aimed at strategic planning of integrated urban management in Tehran metropolitan area based on the strategic planning model of Meta-SWOT. The present study is descriptive-analytic, and in terms of target targeting. The data collection method has been a library and survey. The results of this study indicated that among the resources and internal capabilities of the modification of urban management laws, the integration of all actors in the field of urban management and general management in the city had the highest score. Also, the results of external environmental factors that indicate that the unidentified components of the integrated attitude in urban management, the lack of separation of political leadership from specialized management and the lack or weakness of the mechanisms for strengthening organizational communication indicates the impact of environmental factors. According to studies, the northern regions have the least and the southern regions of Tehran metropolis have the highest level of inconsistency. Therefore, in proportion to the growth of urbanization in Tehran, there is a lack of formation of integrated urban management. As a result, there is no reasonable coordination between the construction of spaces and the body of the city and the natural and physical environment with the social, economic and cultural situation.

Utilizing environmental indices allows the identification of existing flaws in the ongoing rural development plans and projects within the county, preventing their repetition in subsequent policymaking. Considering the settlements' positions within three levels (plain, foothill, and mountain) and natural factors (altitude, slope, direction), the most significant impact on development can be attributed to the environmental factor associated with the altitude level of rural habitats in Shaft County.Research Aim: The aim is to assess and examine the relationships between natural elements and sustainable development within the studied area and answer the question: Considering geographical factors (altitude and slope), which villages in Shaft County are situated within the unstable range? Descriptive and spatial data were integrated for this purpose.Methodology: This study, characterized as descriptive-applied research, encompassed stages involving the identification of study resources, data analysis, and the creation of tables and maps to assess and examine the relationships between geographical factors (altitude and slope) and sustainable development within the studied area, covering all sampled villages as part of the research population. Based on this, information layers were referenced to the base map, converted into shapefiles, and subsequently underwent a process of merging, clipping, overlaying, and other data mining directives for analysis and integration. Consequently, a model representing the information within the studied layers was generated in the form of a map.Studied Areas: The rural under study belong to Shaft County within Giulan Province.Results: The findings indicate a weak developmental rank related to villages such as Zardkam, Vali Sara, Khorfakel, Vaneh Baneh, Kuchek Koomsar, Dakleh Sara, Moharraman, Mashallah Kal, Aqanur Setan, Lesom, Safidkhani, Tanz, Babarakab, Imamzadeh Ibrahim, and Talghan. In the foothill and mountainous villages (with specific altitude and slope conditions), proper measures haven't been implemented, and the villages are utilizing only the minimum of their capacities for the sustainability of the studied area. This situation solely stems from non-strategic management.Conclusion: The geographical position and natural conditions of each settled rurals within the districts, based on altitude, represent one of the most essential factors required for the development of Shaft County's rurals to plan for providing access to services aimed at increasing the developmental level within the county's district segments. For instance, communication routes, one of the primary environmental factors in rural development, have largely taken shape based on the topography of scattered rurals across Shaft County. However, in each of the four districts, they exist at an unacceptable qualitative and quantitative level in terms of sustainably utilizing the capacities of the county's rurals. Manuscript profile -

In this paper, to achieve this goal descriptive and analytical method and documentary studies were used. all data in this study are documentary and include land use changing approvals by the Commission 5 article in East Azarbaijan province for the city of Maragheh, during the study period. The result of this study indicates some inconsistency in some of the criteria for sustainable development and shows non-sustainable movement in order to destruction of green spaces, during the legislations related to changing land use. Also the results of this research show that the cases that were referred to Article 5 Commission are quite remarkable. and in most cases in order to the interest of the applicants and the municipality have been approved and ignoring the urban sustainability and its physical and biological problems cause some problems. Such as the largest number of investigated cases were for changing gardens and urban green spaces, without considering comprehensive and systematic view in whole city and with no attention to social and cultural issues in city. This factor also causes an imbalance in the system of urban land use and devastating effects in urban and regional planning will create. According to research in the past ten years (2001 - 2011), 45.29 percent of total land use change has been from gardens land use to residential land use. Also the studies are indicated the fact that, for all changes that have been take place during the study period, changing gardens land use to other land uses with 49.86 percent was the maximum land use change. This amount of gardens and urban green spaces land use changing indicate for unstable movement in order to Maragheh development. Manuscript profile -

In order to analyze Masiri’s function with regard to the studied villages,different population variables, amenities, service facilities, and also determination of development degree of villages of the district have been analyzed by taking use of different quantitative and statistical models. The result of studies show that despite increasing the scope of its influence and spatial operation, Masiri city could not present itself in the region as a dynamic and creative city since its foundation in 1997, So that, despite the increase of its population due to migration, the city failed to maintain and stabilize rural population of the region. Also this city has been relatively week in distributing services and amenities to the surrounding areas as well as employment and obviating unemployment in the region. Finally, Masiri village-city could not provide the grounds for making spatial balance in the region and consequently sustainable development of the surrounding. Manuscript profile -

In this paper, to achieve this goal descriptive and analytical method and documentary studies were used. all data in this study are documentary and include land use changing approvals by the Commission 5 article in East Azarbaijan province for the city of Maragheh, during the study period.The result of this study indicates some inconsistency in some of the criteria for sustainable development and shows non-sustainable movement in order to destruction of green spaces, during the legislations related to changing land use. Also the results of this research show that the cases that were referred to Article 5 Commission are quite remarkable. and in most cases in order to the interest of the applicants and the municipality have been approved and ignoring the urban sustainability and its physical and biological problems cause some problems. Such as the largest number of investigated cases were for changing gardens and urban green spaces, without considering comprehensive and systematic view in whole city and with no attention to social and cultural issues in city. This factor also causes an imbalance in the system of urban land use and devastating effects in urban and regional planning will create. According to research in the past ten years (2001 - 2011), 45.29 percent of total land use change has been from gardens land use to residential land use. Also the studies are indicated the fact that, for all changes that have been take place during the study period, changing gardens land use to other land uses with 49.86 percent was the maximum land use change.

However, the rural economy in Iran is too much depending on agriculture and development of other rural economy in particular nonfarm activities, has been neglected by Iranian rural communities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the role of non-farm business on rural sustainable development in Sanandaj Township. This study was a type of surveying research and employed both questionnaire and interview tools. A four-part questionnaire (with 48 questions) was developed in order to collect data from the respondents. Likert-type responses with five scales were used to assess different sections of the questionnaires. The questionnaires’ reliability was tested by Cronbach’s Alpha technique and it was 76% (a=0.76). A number of 279 families, 181 families with and 98 without non-farm business were selected randomly in 2011. Results of the study showed that non-farm business can contribute to employment growth, income generating, and prevent seasonal and permanent migration from rural areas. Based on the results, non-farm business and non-farm industries need to be strongly invested by financial facilities through rural cooperatives and unions. Additionally, encouraging rural participation is essential in non-farms and industrial activities. Manuscript profile -

One of the biggest existing urban concerns is the conflict between the protection of historical urban contexts and urban development in the contemporary period. The existing and visible reality of our historical cities indicates that the current state of these cities is more than affected by specific principles derived from this type of urban context; It is influenced by the process of interventions related to new physical and spatial structures. New works, in general, from the perspective of theoretical and conceptual approaches, physical shapes and forms, how to define behaviors and functions, and how to use materials and construction methods, in most cases do not fit with the historical context of cities. In this regard, by using the method of documentary studies, examining experiences theoretically and empirically, relying on the method of logical reasoning, an attempt has been made to identify the design principles of intermediate buildings in the historical context of cities. The findings show that the values hidden in the historical context of cities are the common language of protection and development, and by identifying them, the design principles of intermediate buildings and the way of accumulation in urban heritage are also determined.

The data collection was done by library research, and field studies were performed using statistical population and distribution of questionnaires. The questionnaire was used using Likert 5 option scale and ranking levels with a reliability of 0.8 and face-to-face validation. The sample size was selected based on the qualitative research and structural equation model from Morgan table was used - a statistical population of 100 people with a confidence level of 99% (99 samples).The information from the questionnaire was transferred from SPSS software to AMOS software, after designing the structural equation model (confirmatory path analysis) and after applying the latest corrections to the confirmatory factor analysis model, the results of structural equation modeling, including standardized regression coefficients and multiple power correlation coefficients were reported. The descriptive findings of the variables showed that from the eight most obvious variables (technical, scientific, political, financial, cultural, social, time and place), the cultural factor had the highest mean (according to the Likert spectrum), and the lowest mean was related to scientific factors.Normality of variables was reported by measuring their skew and elongation. The first order factor analysis was performed to examine the factor loads of variables and the fitting of the model. Because of the desirability of 3 of the 5 indexes reported, the fitting of result showed that the variables are desirable. Structural model findings, confirm that water resource control on water footprint-water footprint calculations affects socio-economic and environmental development.The significance of the paths of variables is significantly more than the critical ratio index (CR) of the water footprint with socioeconomic factors with CR of 5.015. Considering the research objectives and the proposed model, it can be concluded that control of water resources directly depends on numerous factors of technical, scientific, political, social, economic, cultural, time and place and influence in tracking water calculations. Affected by these issues, macroeconomic issues and sustainable socioeconomic development are also affected by water footprint calculations. By examining past studies of water footprints, it is clear that the research can be incomplete, especially in the internal sector, when basically the nature of the water footprint measurement has not been done specifically in accordance with international standardsand in fact no research has been done accordingly so far.Also, in the the reviewed articles, most of the concerns raised are the lack of proper management of water resources, addressing the economic, social, cultural, political and environmental factors separately. The proposed model attempts to compensate for some of the scientific shortcomings and provide a new step in the calculation.

Some of these challenges are socio-economic, such as increasing poverty and political crisis, as well as environmental challenges, such as air pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. On the other hand, environmental rights are an important tool for monitoring and managing sustainable development, which is effective in determining environmental protection policies and reasonable and sustainable use of natural resources. Based on this, the sustainable development of the oceans and regulation through the application of the rule of law is one of the new phenomena in the international law of the seas. The declarations of Stockholm 1972, Rio 1992, Johannesburg 2002 stated that the achievement of sustainable development requires the protection of the environment and called for the orientation of international environmental law in line with the concept of sustainable development. In addition, other conventions such as the Law of the Sea, London, Basel, Nagoya and Cartagena are also trying to regulate the protection of the environment and biodiversity, which have been able to create changes in the internal regulations of governments in this regard.

MoreAlthough nowadays, nuclear energy has significant role in energy secure at international level, the risk of nuclear accidents due to inefficient nuclear safety and its negative environmental impact is one of the major challenges facing the development of nuclear energy. The main issue is this weather international nuclear law is compatible with international environment law in the context of safety regime? and what mechanisms observe on respect of fundamental environment norms in nuclear activities? Assessing Provisions of international documents on nuclear energy implies attention of nuclear safety regime to the principles of international environmental law. However, in spite of promotion of nuclear safety regime, occurrence of nuclear accident in Fukushima power plant in 2011 in Japan showed that by now international environmental law and international nuclear energy law are not factually compatible in approaching to sustainable development. Actualizing of environmental principals included in international nuclear law and technology transferring from developed countries to developing counties based on article 4 of NPT could be positive step in declining of negative environmental effects of probable nuclear accidents.

Therefore, many companies in the world publish information on their social performance in response to the demand of stakeholders and increasing accountability to communities. On the other hand, sustainable development in Islam (achieving the transcendent goals of human beings) has material and spiritual dimensions. Moreover, the general concept of sustainable development not only seeks economic welfare and comfort but also includes public welfare from a social perspective. The purpose of the present study is to extract the components of the social dimension of sustainable development reporting from the holy Islamic texts (Qur'an and hadiths) using a qualitative content analysis method with a semiotic approach. The Holy Quran and 148 volumes of religious books have been selected as a sample by non-probabilistic purposeful sampling method. The findings indicate that the components of the social dimension of sustainability reporting in the holy Qur'an and hadiths include 25 components. Manuscript profile -

In fact, it can be considered as the digital currency of the development. Contrary to the fact that social system in Iran contains the required potential for socio-economic development, there exists a one dimentional development reflected in the form of socio-economic anomie. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study is the sociological analysis of the structure and function of socio-economic and sustainable development in Iran from 1978 to 2021. Documentary method and content analysis were used in the study considering Seyfollahi’s approach including geographic-climatic, socio-living, tribal-demographic, cultural and political-managerial elements. Moreover, in the process of conducting the research, two variables of local development and particularism were included in study. The overall results of the study indicate that ignoring the development structures would be the main reasons for the current unsustainable development in Iran. Therefore, the detailed results revealed that: 1. Unsustainable development in Iran is the result of domestic, foreign and global circumstances. 2) Petrol budgeting has led to petrol-oriented reductionism in Iran. 3) Recently, there exists a shift away from petrol-oriented reductionism to political party-oriented reductionism. It is concluded that all of the above-cited factors have played a leading role in the appearance of more serious problems and social harms including poverty, drug addiction, prostitution, anomalous fashionable suicide, inflation, academic-degree orientation, lampoonism, indiscriminate use of natural resources and environmental destruction.

449 - From the Right to the City to Sustainable Urban Development: Education and Culture as the Basis of Creating Child-Friendly Cities

Therefore, if one seeks realization of sustainable urban development focusing on realization of children’s rights in urban environments, he/she needs to establish a relationship between concept of right to the city by “Henri Lefebvre” and urban sustainable development in order to reach an applicable plan through this relation and true understanding of the problem for realization of child friendly city. In this article which has a qualitative nature in terms of methodology, the researcher has tried to present applicable principles for realization of child friendly city approach in Iranian cities focusing on theoretical framework and analysis of experiments of successful countries for creating child friendly city through inductive reasoning. According to this study, four basic principles may be proposed for realization of child friendly city, i.e. avoiding to have a one-dimensional approach to creation of a child friendly city and formulating applicable plans and strategies with interdisciplinary approach, recognizing education as the basis and foundation of development, prioritizing local culture in creating child friendly cities, considering city as an educational laboratory where a child can both learn and experience what he/she learns simultaneously (harmony of education and lived experience).

The aim of this study is to estimate sustainability tensions to examine how the pillars of sustainable development in Iran should interact with the European Union and China. For this purpose, this research uses the SEY model including the system of simultaneous equations and Granger causality in the period of 1993-2020 annually with two limited and complete information approaches. Based on the results, there are high sustainability tensions among these countries, which indicates their significant spillover effects and confirms the integrated sustainability perspective. In addition, the results show that there is a significant flow of spillover effects between Iran and China, and also, Iran has failed to apply and activate potential flows of sustainable spillover effects from the European Union. Therefore, in order to improve and accelerate the progress of sustainable development, policy makers in Iran should also maintain their relations with China as the world's second largest economy, while improving their relations with the European Union to avoid possible spillover effects between the pillars of Iran's sustainability and Activate the European Union.Keywords: sustainable development, spillover effects of development, integrated sustainabilityJEL classification: O1, O19, O50 Manuscript profile -

Qatar's new approach to achieve economic diversification and sustainable development, especially after the Arab Spring, has led Qatari policymakers to exploit the capacities and experiences of other countries. In this regard, Europe is an important partner for Qatar. This article aims to examine Qatar's relations with the European Union based on current and future Qatari priorities and interests, from the perspective of bilateral and region-to-region relations. The main question is, what are Qatar's foreign policy priorities for developing relations with the European Union? This study hypothesizes that the Qatar's main priority in expanding relations with the European Union is to develop socio-economic relations. By using the descriptive-analytical approach, it was concluded that, Qatar's defense-security reliance on the United States and its efforts to achieve economic diversity and sustainable development have led Qatar's foreign policy priorities in relation with the EU, toward socio-economic interactions. This approach has made the European Union the largest exporter of goods and services, the most important supplier of modern technologies and, most importantly, the supplier of the diversification necessaries for socio-economic development of Qatari society.

Tourism has many forms. At the present a new form of tourism called “rural tourism” is introduced in rural areas with the aim of sustainable development of regional communities as a tool for the economic and social development and one of the most important modern jobs in the rural areas. For their climatic conditions and human and natural potentials, villages can be introduced as unique attractions. The process of immigration of villages to the cities and the process of urbanism shows that some of the shortages such as the shortage of social facilities (weakness of infrastructures) and income (economic weakness) are the main reasons for the immigration of rural people. Also, the evaluation of the importance and economic effects of tourism is an important subject. The aim of the present study is to investigate the rural tourism and sustainable rural development in the area of Hachiroud and Namakabroud with the use of centralized group discussions, in depth interviews and the use of analytical model SWOT. Results showed that the existence of attractions and the capacities of a region are the key points for the presence of tourists. Also, the existence of powerful authorities who are familiar with their responsibilities, and who care for the region can be among the most important infrastructures for the maintenance and development of tourism and following that creation of interest among youth for that region as their living place and encouraging the prosperity of the region. In these two areas among the most important reasons for the increase in the number of tourist and the sustainable development of this region beside the natural attractions, is the existence of responsible authorities that with the familiarity and knowledge of the researcher do their best for the improvement of the facilities of the region and increasing their capacities for the welfare of tourists Manuscript profile -
