According to the basic principles of sustainable human development, accommodating the basic needs of citizens is an important and essential topic. Providing housing for various social classes is one of the most important necessities. Today, housing is one of the most acute problems in developing countries so that domestic migration, problems relating to the supply of land, lack of adequate resources, poor economic management, lack of comprehensive housing planning, and other housing shortcomings in the country's economic infrastructure, on the one hand, and the rapid increase in urban population, on the other hand, have made housing a complex and multi-dimensional problems in such countries. Homeownership is an important topic due to its importance in citizens` social and psychological aspects. Considering sustainable development, this article aims to assess homeownership in four municipal districts in Saman, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran. A descriptive-analytical study was performed. In terms of the objective, the study is applied. Vikor Decision-Making Model was employed for the analysis. AHP was used to weight indicators. Findings indicate that the levels of quality are as follow concerning the housing ownership in four districts: District 1 (0.710), relatively poor; District 2 (0.406), medium; District 3(0.847), poor, District 4 (0.130), optimal.

Erosion such as landslide is phenomenon that causes wasting of many water and soil resources and destructing natural resources. The objective is landslide hazard mapping. Landslide can be the main source for sediment supply. The region was Chelgerd watershed in Shahrekord. For landslide hazard mapping, information layers including slope, elevation lithology, land use, distance to road, distance to stream, distance to fault and to springs as effective parameters of landslide have been recognized and digitized. After fuzzy standardizing of constraints and factors by methods fuzzy and Boolean weighing factors using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was incorporated. Final phase, landslide hazard zonation map was prepared. Results show that 49 percent of studied land are high and very high risk zones located. In this study, the most landslides occur in 500 meters from road and 400 meters from Stream with dip ranging from 15 to 50 percent at the elevation of 2600 meters moreover, agricultural lands and gardens within Khankat and Neyriz formation contain the most landslides. Since the possibility of landslide in the vicinity of roads and Stream, with medium dip is very high. It is necessary to be considered in managing of the area. Manuscript profile

Increasing problems of the modern world and growth of population have led to a meaningful increase in the speed of constructions to meet the demands of the population. This, in one hand, has caused excessive consumption of fossil fuels, environmental pollution, losing a large amount of natural resources and on the other hand has led to marginalization of the psychological, cultural, social and local needs of the people in the constructions. Thus, sustainable construction programs have been given a high priority in the development policies of industrialized countries. The positive economic outcomes of controlling such issues and minimizing their effects resulted in establishment of sustainable certification programs, such as LEED in the United States and BREEAM in the UK. Considering Iran’s situation in excessive consumption fuels along with high speed of construction, in this paper, initially, two successful world class systems of LEED and BREEAM for issuing sustainability certifications were studied. Then, by considering the identity, culture and other factors affecting the social relations of the people, criteria’s for establishing a sustainable evaluation system for green building certification in Iran is suggested.

Abstract The world’s political map has under gone many changes since 1648 when, under the Treaty of Westphalia, great European powers officially recognized each state’s sovereignty over its own territory. In the twenty-first century, geopolitical thoughts and developments will be centered around ethnicities and nationalities, as we are already witnessing the growth of independence-seeking movements in separatist regions of different geopolitical areas. The present study aimed to investigate and propose an operational model for the factors influencing the independence of separatist regions and its impact on self-awareness and the rise of separatist movements. The present research was a descriptive-analytical survey in which the data were collected through desk and field studies and then were analyzed using path analysis in LISREL. The results showed that political 80/48, military-security 78/34, and territorial factors 74/62, geo-economics 60/07, geopolitics 55/12, geoculture 50/76, and hydro-politics 47/38, respectively, had the most significant relationship with the independence of separatist regions. There was also a significant relationship between the independence of such regions and self-awareness and the rise of separatist movements.The results of model fit indices, indicated that the proposed model was well fitted with the sample data and was closely related to theoretical assumptions.
