        The important of transmission of pathogens through ice is not less than transmission it through the water. The cause's ice contamination is contaminated water, unhealthy ways of transit, distribution and inappropriate keeping conditions. In this cross-sectional study, a total sample of 36 from four factories, ice storage of Urmia City is selected randomly from 3 parts of feed water, production process and ice output in the summer. The samples are investigated from the view of total coli form and fecal coli form. The health condition of factories and the method of chlorination of water resources are assessed by check list. The results showed that, 50 percent of the samples of raw feed water to ice maker factories and the product process more than standard and 16.67% from them contaminated with fecal coli form. And in ice output 58.33% and 8.33%. The survey about health condition of factories showed that, 75% factories in order to buildings position and personal health, 56.2% with tools and 25% by chlorination in were appropriate situation, but the method preservation and storage of all factories were inappropriate from the view of health. The survey results showed that, lack of water chlorination to ice maker factories is the main factor of bacterial contamination of ice production. Therefore, authorities should pay more attention on microbiological health conditions of ice including microbiological investigation and supervision on production process distribution and transit.

        Equity-based planning should move away from techno-logical approaches and move toward multi-stakeholder policies, giving power to local management.From this perspective, the point of shared planning and social justice is distributive justice.The basis for a fair distribution of services is the two criteria of accessibility and the spatial distribution of services.Recognizing the differences between different regions and regions in order to provide appropriate plans for aligning and reducing regional inequalities is the first step in spatial planning.The purpose of this research is to study the level of rural areas in the central part of Urmia city from the inputs and facilities and comparing villages in terms of utilizing facilities and services. Finally, due to the different geographic conditions of the region, the results were combined with the Kaplend model and the final level of acceptance was accepted, which indicates the difference in the level of rural districts and the lack of distributive justice among them.

        Owing to the ever-increasing growth of urban communities, city officials and managers are increasingly under pressure in meeting the needs of the said communities. Many countries are seeking to develop smart cities as a result of the wide range urbanization-related challenges such as dealing with increasing population growth, heightened levels of air pollution and the imminent threats of global warming. The notion of smart city as a means to promote the quality of life of citizens has been placed on the agenda of urban policy makers. Today, information and communication technology is key to the alleviation of urban, especially services related to the needs of citizens, such as management, education, health, housing, transportation, and security, with the ultimate aim of offering more integrated, smarter, and more efficient services. In Iran, the hurried and uneven physical-spatial development of cities in the last few decades has resulted in adverse social, economic and physical consequences. A smart city is a notion that has sprung to life as a result of the ever-increasing expansion of information technology in the city, one that functions to serve the new needs of citizens in their urban life, with the hopes of solving many problems faced by third world cities. Therefore, the authors here have sought to understand the status of smart city indicators in the metropolis of Urmia by using quantitative techniques and evaluating the degree by which the indicators of smart city have been realized. Today, in line with standardizing the strategies for sustainable urban development, the notion of the smart city has proven to be the paramount strategy in response the increasing challenges caused by the rapid expansion of urbanization, the increase in the volume and number of urban trips, and the formation of a plethora of environmental issues, which has also garnered a great deal of academic interest as a major catalyst to sustainable urban development. Optimal application of urban spaces, development of efficient public transportation, deployment of pedestrian and bicycle routes, promotion of reduced fuel consumption are deemed to be among the basic strategies for attaining a smart city. Given the aforementioned discussion, the authors sought to evaluate and rank the indicators of the smart city in Urmia city. The findings of the research show that the indicated of smart citizen, smart economy, smart life, smart governance, and smart movement . Manuscript profile

        Statement of the problem: Reverse migration is an important phenomenon and on a national scale, it is the linear movement of immigrants from an urban settlement to a rural settlement for medical reasons, retirement, etc., and it is the primary place of birth. The use of rural spaces by urban dwellers is often done in order to relax and reduce the psychological burden of the problems prevailing in urban spaces as a spatial-spatial action. Reverse migration can be considered as a state of rural urbanization, because the urbanization of the suburbs and rural areas includes the spread of urban ideas and ways of life in rural areas, and the most specific form of it is the movement of people from cities to rural areas. Objectives: The aim was to explain the effects of reverse migration on cultural development through the social development of Mahal Anzal villages in Urmia city in 2017-2021. Methods: The research design was descriptive and analytical. The statistical population of the research was 944 households who returned from the city to the villages of Mohal Anzal, out of which 275 households were selected using the quota sampling method and answered the questionnaires randomly. The data were collected with a researcher-made questionnaire with a reliability of 0.818 and analyzed with (SPSS-V.28) and (Lisrel-V.10) software. The research questionnaire had the validity of exploratory factor analysis (0.847) and confirmatory factor analysis. Results and Discussion: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between reverse migration, social development and cultural development (P≤0.01). Reverse migration has a direct and positive effect on social development (0.70) and cultural development (0.28) (P≤0.01), and also reverse migration has an indirect and positive effect (0.39) on cultural development through Social development in Mahal Anzal villages of Urmia city was (P≤0.01).
