main objective of this paper is to assess the satisfaction of residents from the Mehr Pardisan housing complex in Qom. The method of this analytical-descriptive study and the data gathering tool include documentary and survey studies through distribution of questionnaires and interviews with residents. The population of this study was the residents of Mehr Pardisan and the sample size was 375 according to Cochran formula. In the section, the validity of the questionnaire was calculated based on Cronbach's alpha test of 0/624. Data analysis was performed using SPSS20 software. Based on the results obtained in the field of housing indices (construction materials, lighting and lighting, furniture and design, facade and landscape, etc.), security, access, transportation, satisfaction Residential, economic, social, environment-friendly satisfaction among citizens was not observed and the results of the analysis of collected data were negative values. Also, the results of the correlation analysis also confirmed the high value of the variable Housing and other variables of security and social satisfaction. The evaluations carried out between the housing index and insecurity (154/0) (the better the housing situation is, the state of insecurity is reduced and vice versa), and between the housing components and the neighborhood satisfaction is 354/0 (the situation Housing is better, more neighborhood satisfaction, and vice versa). At the end of this research, in order to deepen the results of the research, the Hallin and Ton Index have been calculated. The results in the majority of indicators were negative and showed dissatisfaction of citizens with different indicators. Manuscript profile

Abstract One of the main stages of land use is the ecological capability of the land. Since it is impossible to limit the development of cities, they should be tailored to meet the needs of today and tomorrow, so that environmental damage can not be avoided. The purpose of this study is to assess the ecological capability of Ardabil province for urban development. . In this research, the zoning of the ecological capability of Ardabil province has been done by combining the fuzzy model and Shannon entropy, and then, using numerical taxonomy, priority has been given to environmental power in Ardabil province, in five optimal, favorable, moderate , Weak and very weak power of the region for sustainable urban development. The use of multi-criteria models, including fuzzy inference and the production of maps that are close to reality, can effectively assist in the identification of lands for the establishment and development of the city of Ardabil province. The results of this study showed that in both methods (fuzzy and taxonomic), northern parts of the province are suitable regions to the most suitable, the southern parts are inadequate, parts of the eastern parts are moderate to suitable and inappropriate western parts. According to the findings, the areas are very convenient 12.22%, suitable for 18.27%, 20.20%, inappropriate 25.13%, and very inappropriate 23.26% of the province. The results of the research can be of great help in locating the cities appropriately to prevent environmental crises and make sustainable and sustainable use of the Manuscript profile

Informal settlements have been one of the major outcomes and features of contemporary urbanization in developing countries, including Iran. Among all the problems that these settlements have, security capture is one of the most important issues that it faces. The right to housing is essential to improve the living conditions of residents in these settlements, and the lack of it leads to a lack of willingness to participate, lack of investment in improving housing and psychological harm in the residents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between occupational safety and physical quality of housing in the urban spontaneous area of Naysar, Sanandaj. The present study is a descriptive-analytic research method. Data were collected using a survey method and a questionnaire. Sampling was purposeful and from the 7730 households in the range, 366 households were selected using a Cochran formula with a confidence level of %93 for questioning. Data were analyzed by SPSS software including factor analysis, multivariate regression, Pearson correlation test, mean test and path analysis. The results showed that the factor of security of occupational security with a numerical value of "0.846" was more effective than contracting and experiencing security factors on the physical quality of housing in Naysar. Also, the results of the path analysis showed that there was a direct and positive relationship between security capture indicators with the quality of housing, the quality of housing in this area will increase as property security indexes increase Manuscript profile

This reflects the importance and need of this axis to have service centers-aids. Therefore, in this research, an attempt is made to determine the appropriate location for the establishment of Naiin-based service-welfare centers in Kashan using Analytical Hierarchy Process and Geographic Information System. At first, the effective measures in locating the complexes were determined and the questionnaires were evaluated by the experts and prioritized. After determining the priority of each criterion, a questionnaire was again prepared using the AHP pair comparison method between each of the criteria and sub criteria and was evaluated by experts and experts. In the next step, overlapping of layers of information and maps in the Gis environment was determined optimally. The results of the research show that the most suitable place for the construction of a welfare center in the study area is the central and part of the south of the region, which covers about 36 km of the length of the road. The central regions of the region, including the distance between Ardestan and Natanz, are in good condition and parts of the west of the region, including the distance between the city of Natanz and Kashan in the proper location.

Today achievement to the conditions, being adaptable to getting pre-crisis situation quickly after the crisis, is very important for the societies. Hence, resilience is preferred rather than vulnerability recently. Since, strategically border region, Kermanshah requires more consideration in the urban resilience. Hence, Present study considers the components of the urban resilience in Kermanshah. Using the “Documentary-Survey” method, significant and effective components have evaluated and investigated. Viewpoints of 42 experts of this field have been used for collecting the research data. The statistical one sample-T test and the Friedman test have been used for the data analytics. Results show that Physical-managerial factor based on the experts' opinion has a maximum effect on the urban resilience, as it has the lowest amount of the difference from the mean value. The Wilcoxon test has been used to examine the areas and the results have been analyzed as maps in the GIS. In the end, we have made some suggestions that require the attention of managers and urban planners to make it possible to organize the challenges of the urban resilience of the metropolis of Kermanshah.
