Some factors such as the lack of strong urban management and lack of property control have prevented the urban body from expanding in a balanced way and has many adverse economic, physical and environmental consequences for cities. The aim of this study was to model the functional dimensions of urban management affecting the process of spatial dispersion in Yasuj. The research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. In the data preparation stage, the functional dimensions of urban management affecting the dispersal trend of Yasuj city were identified using the opinions of various experts through the Delphi method. For the Delphi team and the ISM team, 20 experts were selected by purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed by structural-interpretive modeling (ISM). The results showed that in terms of penetration power among the 16 identified indicators, the highest stimulus belonged to the agents monitoring the implementation of laws related to land use change and determining and monitoring the privacy and legal boundaries of the city with 16 and 15 penetration powers, respectively. The model of the present study also included 11 levels that the factor of monitoring the implementation of land use change rules (C2) was recognized as level eleven and the most effective factor. Based on the output of MicMac analysis; determining the legal boundaries of the city (C3), factors of construction supervision (C6), more access to municipal services (C1), monitoring the implementation of laws related to land use change (C2) are among the key independent and highly influential variables that affect the dispersal of Yasuj city. Therefore, urban management, as the main trustee in this field, should pay more attention to key independent components of physical performance.

Urban life quality as a dynamic and multidimensional concept is one of the most important areas of urban studies in different countries focusing on all objective and non-objective aspects of life. The purpose of the present study is to determine the status of life quality index and the weaknesses and strengnesses of its criteria in the areas of Qom city. The research method was descriptive-analytic and the data gathering method was a combination of documentary and expert assistance. Then a questionnaire was designed to be completed on the field. What is being discussed in this paper is the accurate understanding of the concept of life quality and measuring citizen’s satisfaction of it in urban areas of Qom. Data analysis was performed using the ISM, FAHP and WASPAS methods. The results show that regions 1 and 4 with , were selected as the best regions. The selection, of course, was based on some factors such as high levels of regional security; easier access to public transportation; having more administrative centers, job status, better neighborhoods and the availability of appropriate cultural facilities. Also, regions 2 and 6 were selected as the worst regions due to their worse job conditions, accommodation of low-income households, inadequate access to services and stores, and disposal of sewage.
