        poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon and is affected by many factors. In this context, the most important task of geographers and urban planners is to use tools to identify the extent of poverty in the city to reduce the problems and consequences of this social and spatial damage.The purpose of this article is to analyze the spatial distribution of urban poverty in Benab neighborhoods with the approach of reducing urban poverty and preventing its cycle from reproducing in deprived neighborhoods. In terms of purpose, this article is a practical approach and in terms of research method, it is descriptive-analytical. The data collection tool for investigating urban poverty indicators is in the form of four general selected indicators and 30 sub-indices. The findings of the research show that the indicators of urban poverty in the urban areas of Benab are not distributed in a balanced way and there is a huge difference between these areas in terms of development. Neighborhood 2 with a score of 0.700 and neighborhoods 13 and 11 with a score of 0.291 and 0.251 are placed at the highest and lowest levels, respectively. In general, it can be seen that among the thirteen neighborhoods of Benab city, 0.15 are very poor, 0.39 are poor, 0.23 are average, 0.15 are prosperous and 0.8 are very prosperous. In order to reduce urban poverty, first of all, it is necessary to know it correctly, accurately measure it, and analyze it in a documented and realistic way. The procedure and practice of planning and poverty reduction programs today, both at the scientific level and at the practical level, are based on decentralization, a bottom-up perspective, the use of local knowledge, empowering citizens, and cooperative planning by maintaining a balance between the three The main actor means the civil society, the government and the private sector.

        Poverty has become a pervasive phenomenon around metropolitan areas. Meanwhile, Baqershahr is one of the urban areas around Tehran that has grown rapidly and unsystematically. Its population has more than increased 34 times in the last fifty years. Accordingly, the purpose of present research is determination of urban poverty zones in this city is for planning managers and policy makers to organize and empower them. This research is an applied one and its method is descriptive-analytical. Factor analysis was used to data analysis. GIS software has been used to maps preparation. Using GIS software and factor analysis model, have been identified poverty zones in Baqershahr. Finding of research has showed that blocks 146 (%53.5) were very poor, blocks 82 (%30) of average, blocks 44 (%16.1) of very prosperous, and block 1(%4) of very prosperous. Resault has showed that the city is mainly dominated by the poor and very poor. So that poverty has penetrated into all the cells of the city and has found a spatial objectivity. The western part of the city has completely become the residence of the poor and very poor. Also in the northeast of the city, the housing of the poor is clearly seen. In fact, more than 50% of urban blocks are allocated to the very poor. Only a limited part of the central and northern part of the city is dedicated to the middle and affluent class. The highest concentration of poverty is concentrated in the area around Qom Road, Imam Khomeini Square, Ayatollah Kashani Street and lower areas of Shahr Sang. Manuscript profile

        Accurate planning for adaptation to climate change is very important in each region. In this study, using the meteorological data of the six synoptic stations in the Ghezel Ozan basin in the period 1989-2016, and by employing the four GCM models, under the two scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, data were generated for the horizons 2050. Then, some parameters such as the air temperature, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration (ET0), precipitation deficit (PD) during the growing season, dryness intensity were calculated. ET0 was calculated by Pristeley-Taylor (PT) and Penman-Monteith (PM) methods. Then, ET0 obtained from the PT method was calibrated using four Artificial Intelligence methods (namely Eureqa Formulize, ANN, ANFIS and SVM) with PM method for each station. For spatial analysis, three geostatistical methods namely IDW, Kriging, and Cokriging were utilized. The results indicated an increase of 0.9 - 2 ºC in mean air temperature and an increase in precipitation between 27 and 49 mm will be experienced in the future period. Furthermore, ET0 and dryness intensity will be increased at all the stations. The increase in average PD (in the whole basin) will be about 6% to 9%. In average, the rate of increase in agroclimatic indices in the RCP8.5 scenario will be about four percent more than the RCP4.5 scenario. Among the methods of interpolation, the modified Cokriging based on DEM (Digital Elevation Model) showed the more suitable one among others. The length of the growing season will be elongated from 15 to 35 days. No significant changes will be occurred for dryness period. The spatial variation of future climate variables is expected to be not changed comparing the base period. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Human physical and mental health greatly depends on the climatic conditions of its bio-location. Identifying environmental factors creating or exacerbating diseases can be useful in optimizing decision making for prevention and control. The purpose of this study is to determine the spatial resolution of respiratory diseases and its relation with environmental factors in order to understand spatial distribution, cluster discovery and spatial prediction modeling. Method: The population of patients with respiratory diseases referred to the medical centers and the study area of ​​Kurdistan province between 2007 and 1396. Regarding the dispersion of patients from spatial and moron standard deviations, we used spatial regression method to determine the spatial and morphometric variability of the samples using independent variables of dust, height, direction of inclination and temperature. Findings: The results showed that the area of ​​the ellipsoid is three times the standard deviation of the northwest of the southeast, indicating that more than 99% of these diseases are spreading in this direction. Moran index 0.82 also indicates spatial autocorrelation and disease numbers at a significant level of 99%. In spatial modeling to predict the spatial dispersion of a positive symptom disease, the coefficients obtained for dust and temperature with the disease indicate a direct relationship and the negative coefficients between elevation and slope indicate an indirect relationship with the disease. Modeling also showed that dust is the most important parameter in predicting the disease. Discussion and Conclusion: The value of R2 = 0.88 indicates that the extracted model is able to fully predict the dependent variable, respiratory disease, in Kurdistan province, taking into account independent environmental variables. Using the prediction map, the regions with respiratory disease can be better identified in order to improve the decision-making process for allocating and distributing spatial services.

        Nowadays the continuous irrational use of land has led to increase transformation, variation of land use and vegetation. Examining and quantifying these variations can be necessary for planning and sustainable management of land. Thus, in the present study, landscape measures were used as quantifying tools for investigation of land condition and variation. Here, patch spatial distribution and composition measures were used. The case study was Dez protected area, which is located in the Iranian Khuzestan Province. In order to prepare land cover and variation analysis maps, the satellite images of Landsat 7 from the TM sensor and Landsat 8 related to ETM+ sensor images were used respectively. Number of Patches (NP), Patch Density (PD), largest patch index, landscape shape, and total edge (TE) metrics, and diversity indices of Shannon and Simpsons were used. The class-level landscape patterns were analyzed using Fragstats 4.2 and Envi. The results show that the extent of vegetated land of the region has decreased, whereas the scope of land with no vegetation is on the rise. The decrease of vegetation and increase of bare soil indicate the destruction of the region's natural cover during the studied years. The decrease of NP and PD measures and increase of edge density shows the increasing destruction of natural land cover of the region, and its increasing common border with other peripheral areas that have different land use.

        Minab plain in Hormozgan province has experienced population growth with agricultural development in recent decades. Low rainfall in recent years, successive droughts, and limited surface water resources, irregular irrigation practices in the agricultural sector in the study area, along with inappropriate cultivation patterns, have caused the extraction of water wells in the region. The extraction of these wells and groundwater resources has led to an imbalance in the aquifer in the area and a decline in groundwater levels. The consequences of this trend have caused the creation and expansion of subsidence in the region. This research, by investigating radar, satellite images and using differential radial interferometry, has been used to detect and determine the amount of subsidence in order to investigate the extent of this phenomenon in the study area. In this study, data from the Sentinel-1 refer to the dates 2014 and 2018 were used. The results showed it had 13-centimeter subsidence in the study period. After verifying the results by control points (in September 2018), in order to find the relationship of subsidence with changes in groundwater level, elevation, and slope, a spatial analysis was performed and the correlation of each of these factors with subsidence event density was calculated.

        Background and ObjectivePopulation growth and urbanization have caused many changes in land use and land cover that has been greatly affected by the structure, function and service of the ecosystem. Since 2008, more than half of the world's population has lived in urban areas, which, according to the United Nations, 80 percent of the world's population will be urban by 2050, and this continuous increase will lead to the rapid expansion of urban areas. Most of these cities are located in developing countries, especially in Asia and Africa, where a considerable part of them are arid and semi-arid countries. Estimates show that 85 percent of total Iran's lands are under arid and semiarid conditions climate. Arid areas with dry climate, poor vegetation, lack of water, limited rainfall and very fragile environment are identified. These characteristics cause the vulnerability of urban ecosystems. Considering that the function and performance of the environment depended on the composition and distribution of their structural elements, to better understand the dynamics of land, it is necessary to study the changes in spatial patterns. Information on land use changes over time can predict future changes and also be used to identify land a principled and sustainable design and planning,  also to determine the improper process of land change and prevent its spread. Landscape metrics can be used to identify this spatial pattern and it's change.  Applicability of landscape metrics is for the Quantifying of the landscape change and also it's used for analysis and planning of land uses. Metrics is a useful tool for designing and finding exact relationships between the structure and function of landscape functions. Accordingly, this study has tried to study and measure changes in landscape structure of Yazd city by using landscape metrics for three decades in this region from destruction and fragmentation of natural patterns and help planners and policymakers for the orientation of sustainable urban development. The aim of this study is to quantify and measure changes in spatial patterns of land use in Yazd city by using landscape metrics in two levels of class and landscape during the period of 27 years. Also, the distribution and composition of spatial patterns of land use have been investigated in two levels of green and built-up patches that have a major role in ecosystem function. Materials and Methods In this study, Landsat 5 at 1991 and Landsat 8 at 2017 satellite images have been used. After performing the necessary corrections on the satellite images, the classification was done using the maximum likelihood method. according to the diversity of vegetation in the area, three categories including bare land, vegetation and built-up were identified and classified. In order to investigate the accuracy of classification, error matrix and statistical parameters of the kappa coefficient and overall accuracy were used. The kappa coefficient and overall accuracy of the classification images for 2017  and 1991 are 0.81, 90%, 0.83 96%, respectively. The Fragstats 4.1 software was used to calculate the landscape metrics. In the present study, according to the aim of the study, Class Area (CA), Number of patches (NP), Percentage of Landscape (PLAND), AREA, Radius of Gyration (GYRATE), Euclidean Nearest Neighbor Distance (ENN), and Contagion landscape metrics (CONTAGE) were selected and evaluated at the class and landscape level. Results and Discussion In this research, by studying different metrics in the two scales of class and landscape, it was inferred that the landscape in open land and green spaces are being crushed and discrete over a period. While built-up has become more integrated and more expansive over the period, it shows the destructive effects of human activities on the environment. During the studied period, the highest increase in area to other classes belongs to the built-up class. In this study, the maximum number of patches is related to other classes of a green space class. The number of vegetation patches increased and the number of patches opens land and urban class decreased. The results of this metric along with area metrics show the phenomenon of fragmented in Yazd city. Changes in agricultural and gardening land use to residential areas cause disintegration of vegetation patches. The mean patch size of the built-up class has increased and in two vegetation and open land decreased. It shows that the impervious area in the studied city has increased. The average distance metric of each cell in the patches with the center of gravity in two classes of open land and vegetation decreased and the largest reduction is in the green space class. The Euclidean nearest-neighbour distance metric of patches in all uses has been increased which is related to open land. Conclusion The results of the study of metrics changes in the class area show that the built-up has increased by 4346.82 ha in the studied period. The reason for this is the increase in the population of Yazd city, which in 1991 and 2017 were 275298 and 529673  respectively. Therefore, more space is needed for the growth and expansion of the city, which causes the physical development of the construction. Due to the spatial expansion of the city, about 1667.61 ha of the agricultural lands and gardens in Yazd city has been destroyed and integrated into urban infrastructures. Increasing human infrastructure and activities without considering the capacity and ecological capability of this area can cause many environmental problems. Therefore, in order to prevent further degradation of the environment and reduce its quality. Monitoring and evaluation of land use patterns should be measured continuously so that they can be used as a guide to assess the current status of the urban ecosystem. Manuscript profile

        The aims of this study were to find the distribution of sound speed under the influence of water's physical parameters; to predict spatial analysis in oceanography using geostatistical methods; to forecast value parameters for the Persian Gulf and zoning the sound speed. Sound Speed was calculated using Chen-Millero formula and pressure, salinity, and temperature data. The data extracted from World Ocean Atlas 2013 with regular mesh grid 0.25 degree. Sound speed was calculated using the Chen-Millero formula. Spatial analysis of the sound speed comparison based on three methods Kriging, Co-Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighted. These methods were performed using GS+ software in both warm and cold season. The best method finally used to forcast and prepare the plans of zoning sound speed. The Pearson’s correlation test was performed between independent variables and sound speed showed that the maximum correlation occurs between temperature and sound speed. Therefore, the temperature was considered as the auxiliary variable in Co-Kriging method for spatial analysis of sound speed. Cross-validation results showed that model's forecasting in cold season was better  compared to warm season in this region. Results of spatial analysis showed that the sound speed decreased about 20m/s in all layers from the Hormuz Strait toward the northwestern part of the Persian Gulf. Because of the increased salinity the maximum of sound speed was always in the south shallow area. In all investigated stations, sound speed reduced with increasing depth, due to temperature reduction and the sound channel is not also observed. Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of the research is to analyze the livability situation in Kouye Salar neighborhood. 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

        Fires in Zagros Rangelands and Forests Given the protective role of these forests in preventing water and soil erosion, it is a serious environmental threat to these forests and rangelands. The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of fires in rangelands and forests of Kamyaran city and identify areas prone to fire. According to reported fires, the major fires were identified as having the highest frequency and frequency, and the file was compiled using the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the entire area in the past few years and after converting it to soft format. The Arc Map was transferred and a map of the scattered areas of forests and rangelands was prepared. Then, by analyzing the studies in this area and asking the experts of natural resources, Jihad of Agriculture and Meteorology, six factors influencing the fire in rangelands and forests of this region were analyzed. Influential factors include precipitation, temperature, river distance, distance from road, elevation and slope of the area. Then, using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), the information layers in the Expert Choise software were weighted and then compared by pairwise comparison. Finally, after incorporating layers in Arc Map software, the final map of fire hazard zoning of forests and rangelands of the city was classified into five classes of areas with high potential to very low potential. The results showed that the ground truth layers were in full agreement with the final map and most of the large-scale wildfires were located in high potential and very high critical areas and from the total forest area and rangelands of the high potential areas. The fire covered an area of 45218.14 hectares, comprising 22% of the total area. Manuscript profile

        A failure in the sewage network as one of the important urban infrastructures can have adverse consequences, which sometimes even leads to the disruption of a part of a city's performance. In this article, the risk of failure in sewerage networks was conducted based on the combination of the probability of failure and the consequences of failure in the 4th water and sewerage area of Tehran. For this purpose, Bayesian networks were first used to obtain the probability of failure. The network was formed based on features such as deposits, pipe leakage, corrosion, pipe wear, and pipe deformation. For 1610 pipes, 70% of which were used for training and 30% for testing, the probability of pipe blockage was 6.7%, the probability of hydraulic failure was 2.2%, the probability of structural failure was 0.3%, and the total probability of failure for pipes was 8.7%. The overall average accuracy of this step was estimated at 76%. In estimating the consequences of failure, spatial analysis in GIS and the DEA multi-criteria decision-making method were used. Spatial analysis such as buffer for 9 spatial criteria made it possible to score pipes with high speed and efficiency in case of failure and its impact on the surroundings. The DEA method has the advantages of using objective and subjective data as well as reducing the number of pairwise comparisons. Finally, with the effect of PoF and CoF values on each other, the risk of pipe failure was obtained and by ranking them, 9 items in the network were identified as critical pipes. The results showed that such an approach has high reliability and the risk of failure can be estimated with proper accuracy. Manuscript profile

          Urban parks as one of the most important urban land use plays an important role in reducing air pollution and upgrade the quality of life of recreational areas as type of urban land use play an important role in reducing air pollution and improving the life quality of urban residents. The aim of this study is the design and spatial analysis of urban parks in the Germy Township based on the effects of desirable inner space, and location suitability on development of urban parks with an area of 1725.2 km2. The climatic factors in a 11-year (2004-2014) period were analyzed along with effective geographical parameters to site selection of Germy urban park, and related maps were prepared based on available data. The design of plans and determination of zones were done in GIS and AutoCAD environments. According to the results, the appropriateness of park location along with desirability of inner-park spaces leads to increase the presence of family groups. While the deficiencies of effective factors caused the attendance of even-aged group of friends and peers in the studied park. In conclusion, the study site was chosen as a suitable area in leisure times. Also in terms of climate and receiving solar energy, most seasons and times of day provide thermal comfort in the time of tourist's persistence. The result, the highest amount of rainfall is related to the autumn season, while the lowest amount of rainfall for the July and August months were 13 and 9.5 mm, respectively. Thus the rainfall has the least negative impact on the desirability of recreational space. The impact of sunshine hours was considered as positive and the impacts of wind blowing were assessed as favorable in the study site.  Manuscript profile

        The poverty traps in urban areas cause lack of effective development in the society and harm the urban society. The residents of these urban poverty traps are the poorest ones. They always have the minimum urban services and facilities and are in the lowest level of integration with the urban context and its residents. Paying serious attention to urban policies which seems very necessary and important can prevent the emergence and deep poverty traps. Therefore, the effective factors, at first, should be characterized and then, policies should be designed and implemented in accordance with them. In this study, the most important factors affecting the formation of spatial poverty traps in the city of Qom have been examined. In this process, to review the factors affecting the formation of spatial poverty traps and measuring the poverty level, the factor analysis type R was used. The results showed that five factors are the main effective factors of the emerging poverty traps in Qom which explain 88.93 percent of urban poverty in this city. Using the factor score, the traps were classified to 5 ranges, from very low to very high poverty rates. In this classification Sahrak­ Saheb-al Zaman, Jamkaran and Ismael Abad’s traps had the highest level of poverty. To measure the spatial distribution of urban traps Moran's I coefficient and General Statistics G were used. The results showed that the spatial distribution of poverty traps has cluster pattern with a high concentration. Also, the results of correlation analysis showed that poverty rate of traps has a strong correlation between the indices of the number of unskilled workers, rental house rates, the rate of illiteracy, lack of basic facilities of housing, unsustainable housing, and poor quality of the residential environment. So the most important action plan should be done to improve housing conditions, improving employment and improving access to public services such as educational services.  Manuscript profile

        A suitable place for the establishment of industrial activities is one of the indispensable factors for industrial development, so addressing the issue of locating and assessing the location of industrial settlements is appropriate and the situation of these settlements in relation to each other and to the desirable location is important. The main purpose of this research is spatial and location analysis of Jolfa industrial town using combined AHP and ELECTRE methods. The type of research is applied and the research method is descriptive-analytical and documentary, library and Delphi studies have been used to collect the necessary data. After selecting the initial criteria, they were classified into four groups. Then questions and questionnaires were developed. In the Delphi method, 20 experts and specialists were polled. In this way, the data were collected and used. AHP model in Expert choice software environment was used to combine criteria and sub-criteria in order to identify and determine their weight. In the next stage, by applying the weights obtained from the AHP model in the GIS environment, the lands of Jolfa were identified. Then, completely suitable zones above 50 hectares were selected and evaluated and ranked using the ELECTRE model according to 16 important criteria involved in the optimal location of industrial settlements, and the most suitable sites were identified in order to evaluate the current location of Jolfa industrial town. The results of comparing the zones selected for the establishment of the industrial town with its current location showed that the current location of the industrial town in Jolfa does not correspond with the principles and criteria of a suitable location. One of the features of the proposed location for the construction of an industrial town in Jolfa is that the town with an area of ​​83 hectares is located at an altitude of 987 meters above the sea level and exists on lands with a slope of 2%. It should be noted that due to the presence of many micro-faults in Jolfa region, the proposed site is located at a distance of 1897.37 meters from the existing faults, away from agricultural lands, gardens and forests and in terms of lithology is located in resistant lands.

        This study analyzes the spatial variations of urban hierarchy of  Kermanshah province in the period of 1996-2011. This study aimed to explain the uneven distribution of population and social inequality-to reduce the economic disparities across the province. Analysis indicates that 29 cities of Kermanshah in 2011, with a population of about 851,405 people in the city of Kermanshah Province,  62.8% of the urban population ,approximately 16 times  and 8times  the second and third cities of the same province  (Kangavar) population has the most unevenly distributed population. In fact, the lack of central cities in metropolitan networks in urban areas has created instability. This analytic method utilizing  GIS, EXCEL, the rank-size model of a class difference, Entropy Coefficient and Lorenz Curve has been  done. Results of the entire hierarchy of methods used in urban imbalance and instability tends to show instabilities. Based on a floor equal to 96.6 percent in 2011, more than 141 thousands of people in equations obtained from the following cities ranked as the cities of Kermanshah show much difference between the three periods and the line of normality. The entropy rate of 75 year /8to     / 79 in 85 and in year 2011 ، /69  which  indicates heterogeneity in the distribution of population was reached. The city of Kermanshah in terms of spatial distribution of population is the worst compared to other cities , so that, the first city ( Kermanshah ) has 216 times more population  compared to the second city ( Kvzran ).     Manuscript profile

        the present study has identified different areas of poverty in Rasht. For this purpose, 23 indices extracted from statistical blocks were used. The results of the combination of indicators showed that poverty zones are concentrated phenomena, almost in the north, west and east of the city. And in contrast to the welfare zones in the central and southern parts of the city and concentrated throughout the city. Also, based on the other results of the study, we can conclude that overall poverty zone 61.21% of households, 61.46% The percentage of population and 34.11% of the total area of the city. The welfare zone covers 10.66 percent of the household, 10.43 percent of the population, and 23.2 percent of the city's area. Finally, using the Moran index available in Geoda software, the spatial autocorrelation of urban poverty in the study area was determined and the value of Moran's statistic (0.79) is indicative of the cluster pattern of poverty in Rasht. The results show that the increase in poverty reflects the growth of poor performance in the region. As class distances have increased, poverty is widened and class conflicts are more severe, social injustice is more severe and the mass of the unemployed is high, however, the fact is that urban areas are very diverse and there are significant differences in different viewing areas. The results show that government investment in specific areas has been influencing the rise of urban poverty in other areas. Manuscript profile

        Geomorphic hazards have occurred continuously and throughout history in different areas of the globe and continue to do so. But we recognize these events as a danger when they threaten human settlements and cause damage to man-made buildings, facilities, and equipment. Also, since humanity has not been able to prevent the occurrence of many of these dangers, the best solution is to stay away from these dangers. However, many human settlements are placed in risky situations in terms of geomorphic hazards, which is a potential threat to them. Therefore, by identifying high-risk and safe residential areas, it is possible to prepare to deal with risks and to use safe residential areas in urban planning in future developments and constructions. Based on this, the present research was conducted with this concern to identify safe residential zones in Guilan province, which is considered a high-risk province in terms of geomorphic hazards, through spatial analysis. The research method is mixed or combined (quantitative and qualitative) and a combination of library and field methods was used to collect data and information. The results of this research showed that based on the opinions of specialists and experts, the most important geomorphic hazards that are considered as a threat to the urban areas of Guilan province include earthquakes, floods, landslides, erosion, subsidence, and liquefaction, respectively. In terms of the spatial distribution of safe residential areas, based on what was obtained from the output of the fuzzy model in the GIS software, 51.5% of the ​​Guilan province is covered by unsafe and relatively unsafe levels in terms of geomorphic hazards. On the other hand, safe and relatively safe zones cover 23.4% of the area of ​​Guilan province, and 25.1% of the area of ​​the province is covered by the medium security zone. Manuscript profile

        City is the symbol of social culture, the main consumer of natural resources and producer of the largest amount of pollution and wastes that affect human life, nature and environment structure. The increasing trend of urbanization followed by development of environmental, social and demographic impacts has caused extensive responses from advocates of a healthy life away from pollution, health governance, human society and environment health. In the mid-1980s, the healthy city approach was raised as a way to achieve personal and social desirability. Healthy city creates facilities to foster healthy and productive organs that can promote healthy environment and community health and provide the basis for the development of relationships, human interactions and improve the ecological situation in the city. This study analyzes the status of some of the indicators of a healthy environment in the cities of Ilam province. The research method was descriptive analytic and based on secondary official data in which Topsis model was used for ranking the urban areas of the province. The results show that there is a significant discrepancy between Ilam urban areas in terms of indicators of a healthy city. In this regard, the situation is more robust in the city center of Ilam and has been ranked first and the last place is the city center of Abdanan. After Ilam city center, the city centers of Malekshahi and Eivan were ranked second and third And at the End of the table, the city centers of Darre shahr and Shirvan, respectively, were rated next before Abdanan.

        Most cities of (our) country have been changed due to population increase in recent decades, and this reason has increased the importance of paying attention to urban and home planning. Thus home standard indicators are among the most key and important tools in home planning and with their study it is possible to define the effective parameters in home field and facilitating its planning and decision making. Quantitative indicators are family density, number of homes, family growth rate, density index of person per home, room average per home, room average per each family, individual average per each room. Research Qualitative indicators are as follows: forms of home occupation, types of building materials, facilities, equipment and quality of homes. Home situation is determined by studying the qualitative and quantitative indicators of home in Rasht. Based on findings of research during 1345-85 qualitative and quantitative indicators of home have been improved. In spite of all internal and external constructions in city, there are still 8331 homeless families based on comprehensive results of General Census of Population and Housing of Rasht city in 1385. According to population estimations, resident families in Rasht will reach 225244 up until year 1400 and family aspect decrease to 3.36. Assuming that the favorite density is 1.1 families per each home, then needed homes for satisfying population demands will be 191457 units. At the end, according to existing potential in urban suburb of Rasht (ruined places) it is clear that using maximum of these places with a proper progressive pattern, part of future needs inside the city will be satisfied.
