The present study investigates the development of tourism in the rural environment of oraman district in Sarvabad County,to identify the impact of this development on changes in the resilience status of the vulnerable rural environment. To this end, data were collected through a documentary method for the theoretical section and a survey method based on questionnaire distribution and interviews for the field section. The effects of tourism development on changes in the resilience level of the rural environment were measured in two periods: before and after tourism development in the studied area. The research adopts a mixed-method approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods.Analysis of the collected data revealed that the average resilience level of the villages increased from 2.81 in the pre-tourism development period to 2.95 in the post-development period, at a significance level of 0.05, following tourism development in the region. Overall, 62 obstacles or challenges hinder the optimal development of tourism in terms of its satisfactory impact on improving resilience in the studied villages. These challenges are summarized into four main factors: managerial deficiencies, weak planning, and lack of services and facilities required for tourism development in the region; insufficient financial resources and the security environment in the villages for economic diversification through tourism; social shortcomings and an unfavorable business environment for economic diversification in the villages through tourism; and weaknesses in marketing, training, and lack of demand for tourism development in the rural areas.

The present research has been carried out with a descriptive-analytical method and a quantitative-qualitative nature, aiming at the development of event-oriented tourism in Yingigeh village. This village has a great potential and capacity in the field of tourism and is the second most important axis of rural tourism development in Kurdistan province in the area of Zarivar wetland. Data collection was done using a survey method with a comprehensive approach based on the complex and systemic nature of tourism activities, holding group discussion meetings in the village with stakeholders, direct observation of the study area, in-depth and open interviews, and forming a Delphi group. Data were analyzed using fundamental theory technique and hierarchical analysis technique. The analysis showed that there are major obstacles and challenges from the local level to the provincial tourism management level in order to turn Yingigeh village into a village with an event-oriented tourism brand and its development. In the general sector of tourism development some cases such as; weakness in tourism infrastructure and services, weakness in marketing, weakness in education, lack of protection and diversification of attractions, weakness in planning, supervision and performance of government institutions, inappropriate business environment and inadequacies related to the needs and performance of tourists were classified in the form of 47 variables or challenges. In the specialized field of event-based tourism development; weaknesses in financing and financial flow, specialized advertising and highlighting, experimentalism and central creativity, and planning and management of events were identified as 23 obstacles. Also; in the general tourism development sector, there are some weaknesses in the planning, supervision and performance of government institutions, an inappropriate business environment and weaknesses related to education and information. In the specialized sector related to the development of event-based tourism, there is also a weakness in the planning and management of events. Lack of movement towards experientialism and central creativity and weakness in specialized advertising and highlighting among the identified obstacles are the most important in the formation of the existing unfavorable situation.

Nowadays, livability reflects a robust discourse in urban development and urban design that has prevailed in the history of urban planning. Urban livability, on the one hand, testifies to the strong influence and attractiveness of the city, and on the other hand, intensifies urban communication and works by attracting more investment and human and cultural resources. Therefore, the viability of the city is closely related to a healthy city, ecological city and sustainable urban development. The present article seeks to create a practical understanding and knowledge for officials and managers of urban planning in the metropolis of Mashhad in the field of identifying and leveling key factors affecting urban viability. In terms of purpose, this study is applied, in terms of method, it is descriptive-analytical and in terms of data collection method, it is a combination of documentary-survey method. To conduct this research, after reviewing the research background and using the opinion of experts, 22 factors affecting viability in three dimensions were identified. Then, using interpretive structural modeling technique and using a questionnaire, the factors were classified into eight groups. Then, after determining the level of each factor and also considering the final availability matrix, the final model of the interpretive structure was drawn. The results showed that factors such as equitable distribution of infrastructure facilities and services, creating desirable and diverse transportation, meeting daily needs, creating employment and sustainable income, developing mixed land uses and urban diversity and creativity are among key and effective factors in relation to livability in Mashhad metropolis.

Among the numerous indicators of development, health index is one of the most important indicators of progress in each country, and to a large extent, the success rate of national development programs depends on achieving the objectives of this sector. Inequality in health and medical careness among the regions displays the differences in the extent of development of health facilities among cities, villages, regions and countries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the spatial distribution of health indices in Kermanshah province and to identify the privileged and deprived counties in terms of health-medical situation. Based on aim, the present study is an applicable research and based on method it is a descriptive-analytical one. The sample of the present study includes 14 counties of Kermanshah province. Required data were extracted from the Population and Housing Census and the annual statistical report of 2015 of Kermanshah province. In order to determine the level of development of provincial counties in terms of per capita health-medical indicator, 41 variables were used and quantified. Shannon entropy method was applied to determine the importance of each variable. For data analysis, the SAW and TOPSIS models were applied. Also the mean rank, Brada and Copelend methods were used to integrate the results of the models (SAW, TOPSIS). Pearson correlation was used to show the relationship between urbanization rate and distance from the center of the province with the status of development of health services. The results of the present research indicated that four counties were located at develped category. They include: Qasarshirin, Paveh, Sunqor and Kermanshah, respectively. Three counties namely Javanrood, Kangavar and Sahneh were categorized as semi-developed, respectively. Dalahu, Harsin, Gilan-Gharb, Islamabad, and SarPul Zahab were classifies as developing counties. And finally, Ravansar and SalasBabajani were considered as deprived counties of Kermanshah province. According to the results, it was found that there is inequality and difference in distribution of health services among the counties of Kermanshah province and the conditions of counties are different from each other. Also, it was found that there were not any correlations between the rate of urbanization and distance fron the center of province with the development of health-medical services.
