  Background and Objective: Planning and development of tourism projects, disregarding environmental aspects and the extent of developments can lead to irreversible negative changes in the environment. Environmental impact assessment can predict many of these negative consequences and can provide corrective measures before the project is implemented. Method: Matrix, if done appropriatly, can be the most common assessment method because of its simplicity, efficiency and comprehensiveness. To upgrade the impact assessment through matrix, mathematical matrix can be applied to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the original matrix. Findings: Mathematical matrix was designed as it included magnitude, spatial extent, duration, synergy, cumulative, controversy, impacts compensation and significance in columns and 50 environmental factors in the rows. In the next step, every environmental factor was compared with the project activities and scored in the range of ±1 to ±9. Then, the final number of effects was determined using sum positive and negative effects of the significant effects. Also, the minimum, maximum and final values for positive and negative effects of the project were determined considering the weight for each group of the effects according to their significance in the range of low to high. Conclusion: Mathematical matrix has more realistic and more logical results as it considers other effects of development projects in the region by cumulative criterion and synergism criterion, using the opinion of experts and decision makers by controversial criterion and considering reform and reduction operations by compensation criterion.

  In terms of realization of sustainable tourism, substrates required that social security is the most important indices of them. Social security index causes attracting tourist and sustainability of this matter in rural villages. So, this index should greatly be established in the rural community and its necessary framework should be provide. In this research, the purpose is to identify and analyze the social security in the of tourism target villages in the Isfahan province in order to help to development of tourism by identifying the present status. The research method was descriptive-analytic based on a survey study by questionnaire. The population of this research are tourists entered the village. That due to the lack of accurate statistics in terms of the population under the study and due to limitations in terms of questioning, the number of 250 tourists were determined for the questioning. The results of the test showed that five variables including personal security, financial security, physical perimeter security, moral security and police security with the significance level 0.000 in good condition, three variables communications-transport security, health security, interaction and communication variable with significantly higher levels than 0.05 in the middle condition and two variables institutional-political security and mental-intellectual security of  tourists with a significance level less than 0.05 are in poor condition. Model review shows that social security in the tourism development is effective with amount of total effect 0.688. In total, social security explain about 45 percent of the tourism variance in target villages in Isfahan province. Manuscript profile
