Housing is one of the most effective categories on culture, identity and the whole life of people. The aim of the present study is to achieve sustainable solutions for housing. Population growth and the significant increase in the need for housing led to the process of housing construction, especially in big cities. The category of housing has been considered more from the viewpoint of economic stability and quantity of construction regardless of the quality of residence. The present research was conducted to identify the components and criteria affecting the social sustainability of housing in Tabriz city. It was defined in two scales: "residential areas" and "housing internal environment" with the aim of providing solutions to achieve social sustainability in the old and new residential areas of Tabriz city. In the present research, first of all, the previous studies related to the problem were investigated using the content analysis technique. After classifying the results of previous researches, using the Delphi technique, the opinions of experts and professors in this field were collected and considered. Finally, using the cross-sectional survey method, a questionnaire was compiled and the importance of the components and final criteria was measured from the perspective of the residents of the old and new neighborhoods of Tabriz city. According to the findings, the components of "neighborhood physical desirability", "social-cultural characteristics" and "functional and social infrastructure of the neighborhood" are respectively the most important components affecting the social sustainability of neighborhoods and residential complexes. Also, the components of "relationship of housing with open space and living nature", observance of "confidentiality and privacy" and "adjustment of environmental conditions of housing" are among the most influential components on social sustainability in the internal environment of housing, respectively.

The coastal cities of Mazandaran province, while enjoying natural, economic and tourism attractions, have experienced rapid growth in recent years due to the growth of the floating population and the arrival of immigrants and tourists. These cities face many issues and problems, including; Indiscriminate construction in the coastal strip, horizontal growth and uncontrolled expansion of cities towards agricultural lands, many changes in the spatial and physical structure of the city, and the lack of development of public spaces commensurate with the development of private and economic spaces. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of physical changes in the coastal cities of the western region of Mazandaran province on the vitality of public spaces. The method of the present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical and survey in nature. The statistical population of this research was the citizens of the coastal cities of Nowshahr, Chalus, Tunkabon and Ramsar. The sample size was determined based on the Cochran formula of 382 people who were selected from the statistical population using the stratified probability sampling method. The data was collected by survey method, and the most important tool was the questionnaire. The results indicate that the state of physical developments of the studied cities in the fields of paying attention to the per capita and standards in the design and creation of urban spaces and the organization of the image and landscape of urban spaces have been evaluated optimally, but in the field of vitality of the public space, factors such as mixing of uses, access system and social interactions in the design and creation of public spaces have received less attention than other factors. Based on the regression model, components such as: attention to the appearance and urban landscape, development of facilities and services, increase in the level of occupation and change of natural landscape, the amount of use of the internal development of the city, environmental pollution, the land-uses and the increase in land demand, have a significant effect on vitality of public spaces. According to the structural model of the research, the component of physical changes has had the greatest effect on such components as: existence of social and psychological comfort, visual attractiveness, physical diversity and access system. And the component of physical changes has had the least effect on components such as: social interactions and diversity and flexibility of land-uses and activities.

The indiscriminate continuation of urbanization and the sprawl growth of cities has inevitably created the phenomena of creep, corrosion, annexation or integration. The annexation of large villages to the city is one of the policies of urban development that has been carried out in order to reduce numerous economic, social, physical and environmental problems. The application of the urban village model can create an effective role in preserving the environment and improving the quality of life in rural settlements and order and peace in urban settlements in the country by guiding and controlling new constructions compatible with the characteristics of the rural context. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. With Cochran's formula, the sample count is 385 people have been obtained. The sampling method in this research is simple random and the reliability of the questionnaire based on Cronbach's alpha is 0.850. The aim of the research is to identify and rank annexed zones in order to promote sustainability based on the urban village model. To analyze the data, the CODAS method has been used as one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. Based on the results of weighting, population criteria, building density, space design and walkability, environmental protection and cleanliness are weighted respectively (0.16), (0.12), (0.08), (0.8). 0, (0.06), the most important criteria among the 20 existing ones. The results of CODAS technique show that Mahdasht and Ahidasht neighborhood with (1/80) and (1/55) rank first and second, respectively, Baladeza and Balamaliek (1.40) third and fourth, Sharif Abad and Hevela with (1.38) and (0/419) fifth and sixth, Zoghalchal and Paeindeza with (-0/219) and (-0/921), ranked 7th and 8th, and finally, the neighborhoods of Pol Gardan and Qoroqh with (-1/83) and (-2/48) have taken the ninth and tenth place. Based on the obtained results, Mahdasht with the highest amount and Qarq with the lowest amount of sustainability in social, economic, physical and environmental indicators, respectively, were recognized as the most appropriate and the most inappropriate option among the extension areas of Sari city in line with the implementation of the urban village model.

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.

Urbanization is one of the basic challenges that the world society is facing in the 21st century. Nowadays, the irregular growth pattern of cities and irregular urban development have destructive effects on cities and their surrounding environment. In the meantime, the city of Bonab is not an exception to this rule. In this descriptive-analytical research with applied purpose, using the fuzzy method and remote sensing, the physical expansion and growth of Bonab city has been evaluated. In order to analyze the effective factors in the pattern of development and physical growth of the studied area, first, 10 related and main criteria including: slope, direction of slope, height, type of vegetation, distance from faults, distance from waterways, distance from communication network, distance from rivers, distance from rural settlements and distance from susceptible lands were referenced using the geographic information system were placed in the numerical range of zero to one. Then, the specified layers were fuzzy and membered by different functions, and lastly, the final map was prepared using fuzzy criteria and fuzzy gamma. In relation to the modified fuzzy gamma model, values of 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 have been used to identify potential areas for the physical expansion of Bonab city. The analysis and evaluation of the accuracy of the model was done based on gamma layers and a number of raster layers, as a result the gamma 0.9 was introduced as the final layer of land suitability for the future expansion. Based on the final map obtained, it can be said that the favorable areas for the future expansion of Bonab city are mostly located in the north and northwest areas.

The present research was carried out in the newly founded city of Elhaei, Ahwaz township (2012) with the aim of measuring the degree of success of previous plans (conducted plans) in terms of achieving goals and extracting the most important obstacles, after inferring non-fulfillment of the previous plans. The SWOT and QSPM models have been used to determine the appropriate strategy to achieve the goals of the new plan (master plan). The method of carrying out this research is descriptive and analytical and it was done by relying on documentary studies and field observations (interviews and questionnaires) by experts of housing and urban planning departments and municipalities. The findings of the t-test at a significant level (0.05) show that this plan has not reached its goals in all five main indicators. Among the 12 indicators defined under the title of obstacles, two indicators (weakness of management factors) and (lack of transparency in land ownership and disproportionate allocation of land uses) have had the greatest impact on the project's failure. Also, in the field of management factors, among the 10 defined items, the weakness of specialized human resources with an average of 3.73 and the lack of allocation of credits to projects with an average of 3.61 have had the greatest impact. In relation to the index of land ownership and determine optimal uses, the item of non-implementation of approved laws with an average of 3.59 and the item of lack of proper communication between consulting engineers and city managers with an average of 3.55 had the greatest impact. Also, based on the SWOT and QSPM models resulting from the review of the joint opinions of housing and urban development and municipality experts, the first priority, the conservative strategy, has been introduced.
