In this research, we are looking for Socio- semiotic survey of the holy defense discourse in the entrance landscape of Dezful city and the role of local governance in creating a designed and purposeful entrance landscape.We are going to investigate and analyze how to use the landscape of the entrance to present discourses, narratives and imagery of national and local governance. The research method of this article is descriptive-analytical, field and its foundation is based on qualitative research method. We examine all the squares, toponyms, entrance and memorial billboards located at the entrances and categorize them in terms of different discourse and imagery patterns. Based on this, the findings of the research show that the discourse of Holy Defense, religious and historical are 3 major discourses and cross-border resistance is an emerging discourse in the landscape of Dezful entrances.The discourse of holy defense has decisively dominated the landscape of Dezful's entrance and in a contextual way, it is engaged in a kind of illustration of the role and position of Dezful in one of the most important events of Iran's contemporary history, namely the 8-year war. In this imagery, all the signs related to the legacy of the Holy Defense are presented in the context of a mythological narrative of Dezful's role during the war. Indeed, many heritage initiatives are designed by local authorities to match national discourses and strategies.

The general purpose of this study is to evaluate the resilience of Poldakhter city during floods. In order to achieve the aforementioned goals, a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach has been used. In order to measure the dimensions of resilience, 384 households were selected as a sample community using Cochran's formula. In order to analyze the data obtained from the questionnaire in the SPSS environment, statistical methods based on the comparison of averages, Friedman and regression tests were used and also to rank the resilience of the neighborhoods from the model. Topsis was used. As a result, based on five resilience evaluation indicators; The neighborhoods of Basijian, Old Core and Pasdaran neighborhoods have a better condition than other neighborhoods of Poldakhter city, and the neighborhoods of the eastern and western shores and organizational neighborhoods have the worst situation in terms of flood resilience. The results of Friedman's test to determine the most important and effective indicators of the resilience of the city of Poldakhtargoyai are that the physical index with an average rank of 3.533 and the economic index with an average rank of 3.251 are the most effective in the first and second ranks, respectively. The most important dimensions of resilience have been placed.

This is the reason for this: It is based on the goal: it is important to know the meaning of interpretation and analysis, and this is a qualitative and quantitative decision. From the perspective of segmentation and analysis of information from high-level digital models, Delphi and the end of the Interface Matrices (SSIM), it is very useful. The University of Amari has a comprehensive and specialized program that has a monthly program that has a general phase and a special phase. It has a close perspective on the University of Namouneh on the verge of Namouneh. It is the goal of taking a photo of the owner, at the end of the census of (30) people with the address of the University of Nemouneh. As a result: My statements, in a sentence: economic, labor, social, religious, and physical, have the title of effective factors in monthly tabulation, which can be maintained by using the Delphi tool during the linguistic review stage; Agreed with a predicate that is related to the factors of a subtractive subject, a form of a definite noun. The results of the matrices are a transactional factor, an economic factor as well as other factors that have a similar impact. It's like the body, but it's important to keep it on your monthly tab, it's affected by all other factors and it has a significant effect on a growing level.

The study tries to measure the stress experienced the acquired and non-acquired characteristics of the citizens in the 10th district of Mashhad and also to show whether the residence history can make a person more flexible in facing the stressful elements of the environment. The study is of a descriptive-analytical type, which by examining relevant sources and developing a conceptual model, categorized the stressful elements of the urban environment into three categories. The results showed that the environmental elements caused a higher level of stress among married people (compared to single people), women (compared to men), elderly people (compared to young people), and more educated people (compared to less educated people). On the other hand, the examination of residence history also showed that with its increase, the level of stress experienced by people from the urban environment decreases, which has the greatest effect on the elderly and people with a higher level of education. Additional findings determined that the stress experienced by people from one environment spreads to other environments as well. Therefore, the comfort level of a person from the residential environment can play an important role in his feeling about the surrounding environment. Finally, paying attention to human scales and trying to give importance to the structure of the neighborhood in the framework of the geographical space can play an important role in the flexibility of people in facing environmental stressors.

Land is the base of all human activities, one of the effective inputs in production systems and one of the factors to achieve sustainable development The ever-increasing socio-economic changes in human societies and the unconventional use of resources have intensified the unstable conditions of the land. Measuring land use developments is associated with issues such as land use and land cover system (LULC) and monitoring patterns. The LULC patterns, by providing monitoring and understanding the development process of the exploitation system through the use of remote sensing techniques, facilitates the possibility of policy modification and change, optimal management and foresight of environmental resources. The aim of the present research is to monitor the evolution of the LULC system in the Koohpayeh-Segzi sub-basin using satellite images in the period of 2000-2023 and updating the spatial information. The results of the evaluation of LULC maps using the Decision Tree Algorithm show an area increase for 97% of built-up lands, 173% of pasture lands, 230% of water arenas, 72% of agricultural lands and a decrease of more than 14% of barren lands. The results also show that 913 hectares of barren lands, 244 hectares of pastures, 44 hectares of agricultural lands and 0.155 hectares of water arenas have been changed to built-up lands. The sustainability of environmental resources, especially reducing the process of LULC change as well as stabilization of the exploitation system, requires optimal management of resources by applying land protection models and increasing the participation and empowerment of local rural communities.
