The security of rural residential areas as a common factor between human and environmental arenas is a necessity for promoting life quality of people. This factor is affected by the way that rural residential areas are designed and planned. The present study is aimed to evaluate the effects of physical planning on security of rural residents in a rural area of Mashhad county, emphasizing their social security. Based on aim, the present study is an applied research and based on method and nature, it is a descriptive-analytical one. The unit of analysis is rural households of three rural districts namely Tabadkan, Tous, and Darzab which have been targeted for the rural conducted plans. Of 2356 rural households in the study area, 163 households were selected as sample by simple random sampling based on Cochran formula with an error equals to 0.075. To measure the security rate, 13 social indicators and 11 physical planning indices are applied. Some statistical tests were used for data analysis including Pearson Statistical Test, Single-sample T-test, Regression and Path Analysis. The results indicated that the mean of physical planning variable in sample villages was 2.06 which is a moderated figure tending to lower places of ranking. Based on the single sample T-test, the index of building quality with an amount of 8.15 was more considerable. The mean of social security variable was 3.42 which indicated a moderate situation for the studied villages. The lowest place of ranking was belonged to individual security with a mean of 2.73. Based on Pearson correlation results it was marked that there is a direct and significant relationship between physical planning and social security perception with a figure of 0.045. Also, the results of Path analysis indicated that the size of parcels with an effect coefficient of 0.255 and compatibility with an effect coefficient of 0.254 have had the highest impact on social security perception.

Urban Resilience is a relatively new concept in urban studies and urban planning Therefore, urban planning plays a crucial role in the formation cities of flexibility. Strategic planning for these activities should be subject to adapt to the urban physical. Therefore, in order to prevent further loss and damage needs to study the dimensions of the subject. A study of nature application – development and analytical approach to the issue is addressed in Ilam. Because the seismic predictions based on statistical methods can give satisfactory results; This research using quantitative models, COPRAS and μd, software GRAFER, MINITAB, VISIO, Excel and SPSS to examine the issue. The results of the 5 on the Richter scale model based on an average of the separate areas of 14 districts were ranked. In other words, the social damage - physical in the earthquake of 5 Mercalli using variable weight combination in the areas Finally, the resilience was determined in Ilam. COPRAS model based on the mean of resilience in against 65 percent.

During the recent decades, rural lifestyle in Iran has dramatically changed due to the rapid expansion of cities as well as change of the type and frequency of interactions between urban and rural areas. Such a change was, per se, resulted in some other vast changes in socio-economic circumstances of rural residents and needing the concept of liveliness in rural communities which has a different nature from what is happening in urban environments. The present study concerns with evaluating the effectiveness of Rural Conductor Plans in creating lively rural settlements according to real needs and wishes of their residents. Based on typology, this study is an applicable research and based on methodology, it is a descriptive-survey one. The sample includes 6 villages, of which 3 with conductor plans and 3 without them in GhaniBiglou district, Zanjan County. Required data was collected through both documentary and fieldwork. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were applied to analyze the data. The results show that implementation of Rural Conductor Plans has been led to improve the quantitative and qualitative components of liveliness in studied villages. It especially is evident in case of physical status of the villages.

The main challenges of rural sustainable development in Iran can be categorized in five groups of economical, management and programming, environmental, social, and physical factors. Physical changes of rural Iran, and accordingly rural Guilan can be viewed through two perspectives. A significant part of changes are related to government attempts regarding the preparing and implementing the physical projects. The other part is related to rural society itself and its organic characteristics that are formed during the ages. The mentioned changes have created other massive changes in functions of rural settlements such as alterations in agriculture system, relations between settlements, urban-rural interactions, and changes of form and pattern of housing. The important point is the impact of geographic conditions on all kind of changes with their spatial appearances. The present study applies a qualitative method to answer the following two questions: first, how can physical changes of rural settlements create barriers for sustainable development? And second, what are the strategic prefrences of physical development for rural Guilan? Findings of the present study show that main physical challenges of rural Guilan during the last three decades are: 30% reduction of agricultural lands which is resulted in 40% rise in number of urban settlements, higher rates of vulnerability against natural hazards, and changes in rural settlements functions. There have been many valuable attempts to materialize the physical development in rural areas during the last thirty years; however, the lack of a strategic planning method has blocked the formulation of a proper pattern of physical development in Guilan province.

In recent decade in Iran, there have been published a vast number of books (compiled or translated) and scholar articles on different issues in various branches of geography. Most of these publications often focus on particular issues, but only rarely offer an expansive overview of the variety of terms and concepts in use within the field; Moreover, the conceptions used are mostly not meaningfully relevant and in some cases even misleading (it is especially true in falsities in translating these terms and conceptions into Persian). Moreover, the new trends and approaches in modern geography, especially spatial debates and planning theories are in some way the most neglected topics in these publications. In contrary, the most interested fields in these publications are often students’ thesis-based case study ones, compiled mostly by students themselves. So, some problems have been evolved from insufficient descriptions and lack of sufficient clear and perceptible definitions. The result has been not only a growing vagueness of some terms and definitions, fundamental to applied geographies, but the misleading of growing number of students of the field. The main aim of this article is to provide a relative detailed description and discussion of the terms and concepts which are central to the theoretical debate and empirical research in spatial planning within modern applied geography.
