Ecotourism resorts are considered as one of the most important rural tourism businesses and have a high impact on rural development. 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.

considering that one of the most important problems in the detection of snow phenomena using optical satellites, cloud segregation and snow, we used to identify and eliminate cloud surfaces using cloud behavior in different wavelengths by defining the normalized difference index in the modis data. then, the snow maps of zagros province of and were collected using images of modis daily in 1392 - 1393 for a five - day period, using our results to estimate snow melting in this period, and at the end to better represent the melting dynamics of snow melting the snow melting map with digital elevation model (SRTM). For this purpose, it is 100 m due to the resolution of the SRTM image. we decided to convert the modis image resolution power into 100 meters using the resampling method and then we integrated the data layers together with the combination of images and the height classification on the data layers, which, in addition to the dynamic representation of snow - melting snow, shows the height distribution of snow melting across Manuscript profile

Inadequate conditions of urban public spaces affect the physical and mental dimensions of children and adolescents. Urban and residential insecurity, isolation, depression and social disruption in urban areas are chronic urban and environmental factors.

The method of the present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of research method. The instrument of the present study was the 28-item Child Health Questionnaire.For data analysis, SPSS 23 software and structural equation model (AMOS) were used. The results of regression analysis showed that urban spaces affect the psychosocial health of children. The relationship between urban spaces and social, behavioral and emotional limitations is -0.48, the relationship between urban spaces and self-esteem is 0.71, the relationship between urban spaces and mental health is 0.63 and the relationship between urban spaces and problems with family is -0.54.

Homes, as the main place of life of modern man, must respond to the needs, beliefs and values of its inhabitants. The shape and body of space affects human lifestyle and behavior. In this research, the complexities of social and cultural relations in the spatial structure of traditional and contemporary houses in Tabriz have been investigated using the theory of space syntax. The present study tries to extract and introduce changes in the layout and spatial structure of houses in terms of space syntax criteria. To achieve this goal, after selecting a case study of the cultural and historical context of Tabriz, IGraph software has been used to draw and classify the samples and analyze the spatial structure, and their explanatory diagram. Then the correlation indices and the relative depth of the spaces have been analyzed using the mathematical relations of the space syntax and the visibility indices, the visibility cone using the Depthmap software for each sample. The results show that there is a direct relationship between the variable of social structures and the variable of spatial arrangement. This means that the characteristics of social structures governing society, including interactions and privacy, are important architectural values of traditional houses, However, in contemporary houses, due to having a purely physical view and insufficient knowledge of the residents and their needs, many changes have taken place in the housing debate, which has led to the residents not belonging to the house.

The research method was analytic-survey based on observation and using a questionnaire tool. The sample size of 130 households was selected by simple random sampling method. The validity of the tool has been verified according to the opinion of the experts and management experts and behavioral sciences. The reliability of this tool was obtained using Cronbach's alpha method higher than 0.7. According to experts, with the help of factors such as physical, social, economic and environmental factors can improve informal housing. The amount of each of these components in order; The socio-cultural component is 34.10%, the economic component is 29.55%, the physical component is 27.25% and the environmental component is 9.10%. Much of informal settlements Farahzad neighborhood, is due to migration for a better life. The margin of the neighborhood is characterized by dissatisfaction and lack of social citizenship. As a result, improving the housing situation and social and cultural infrastructure is one of the most important priorities in improving the situation in the Farahzad neighborhood. The main feature of the urban sustainability development approach can be explained based on the theory of social change. This perspective looks more towards the socioeconomic and cultural construction of the urban community, rather than looking outside the community to root out the causes of injuries and social instability in order to find out the causes of social injuries and instabilities.
