This article aims to investigate the relationship between employment and city size in East Azerbaijan province and the effect of this province cities population on employment sectors in 2006. The study area consists of urban places of East Azerbaijan province in 2006. The data were collected from census public population and housing in 2006. The method of the study is descriptive-analytical. Linear regression model was employed in order to calculate of the data. The results showed that there is a direct relationship between employment and province cities size. So that for every shift unit in independent variable or for thousand persons increase 0/003 or 3 and 149 persons will be added in employees of agricultural and service sectors respectively and 0/024 or 24 individuals will be added in undefined sector. In this relation، the number of added persons in industry sector is high because of increase in employee''s population in industry and investment sectors and attitude of people toward industry. This attitude is low in agricultural sector. The reason is agricultural sector nature and nonconformity with urban space.

Agro-processing industries are an important part of agricultural production. Processing procedure leads to the farmers’ additional income by transformation of surplus products to added value. Utilizing the existent possibilities، these industries play an important role in rural development. As one of the main agricultural products of the Kazerun Township، the locational analysis of date processing industries is investigated in this study. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology was used to assess of criteria and determine priorities of sextuple districts of the region for date processing industries. Data was gathered through interviewing the rural industries and agricultural experts of the region and completing the criteria and alternatives pairwise comparison questionnaires. As the results، the relative weights of the criteria were determined as 0. 27، 0. 24، 0. 19، 0. 09، 0. 08، 0. 7 and 0. 06 respectively for raw material availability، economical profitability، transportation accessibility، energy resources، geographical situations، land price and labor force. Regarding these weights and also the alternatives pairwise comparisons، the ultimate prioritization of the sextuple districts of the region for date processing industries was distinguished as 0. 29، 0. 22، 0. 11، 0. 1 and 0. 06 respectively for the districts of Khesht، Central and Kenartakhteh & Komarj (in common)، Jarreh & Baladeh، Chenarshahijan and Kouhmareh.

Generally، the evaluation of how urban land use reflects vivid picture of urban appearance and also compatibility and incompatibility among urban land uses is due to the positive and negative effects of that adjacent land uses have on each other. Evaluation of land use compatibility as a main core of urban planning has an essential role in special – local organization of towns. This lead to the creation of various models for land use analysis. These models evaluate the compatibility of land uses with land use matrix. In this article، compatibility of important urban land uses in old urban texture of Zabol city with GIS has been evaluated and the principal of land use compatibility in localizing has been analyzed. The results of the research show that the economic، administrative and military land uses are in inappropriate conditions، while the other existing land uses in this region have relatively suitable conditions.

The rapid population increase has led to the formation of urban primacy in many developing countries. Iran as developing world has experienced an unbalanced growth which is resulted from the increasing level of rural-urban migration especially from 1966. This study tries to investigate the urban network of Kermanshah province from 1976 to 2006. The methodology of the research is based on descriptive and analytical models by using different techniques such rank-size and class difference limit. The results revealed that the city of Kermanshah as the primate city is almost 9.5 times larger than the second city Islamabad-Gharb. Such proportion however decreased to 8.8 in 2006 but still the province has a disordered urban network. The cities of Ghasr-shirin and Sarpolzahaab which placed in third and fourth rank lost their inhabitants in 1996 due to the war. In general the hierarchical level of the province urban places is quite unbalanced and Kermanshah city dominated the whole city system of the province. The research concluded that many of small and intermediate cities should strengthen to balance the urban network of Kermanshah province.

Tourism as one of most dynamic economic actions in this era، has a great role in local sustainable development. This industry، through simultaneous combination of internal and external sources، created many social، economic، environmental، cultural interests for geographic spaces. Today،custodian institutions in tourism industry، in all of the world، acknowledge to tourism industry affairs، and beyond it، to necessity of protecting environment، more than ever. Generally، our aim from this research is study and identification of natural and cultural and historical potencies in Qeshm region and، in subsequence، offering proposals for upcoming planning and development about tourism. In this research، research method is describing-analytic-survival and has been used librarialand documentary sources. for better representing، used SWOT model and GIS software. this Island is greatest Iranian island in Persian Gulf، and is most near، of them، to coast. the Island،s sustainable development، in regard to its being island from ecological point of view and presence of special ecosystems like coral Islands، hara jungles، and its internal special and large lands، beside bad process of past development requires a special accuracy. this accuracy should be based on accurate knowing whole of present situation and، on continuous management and planning about environment. results that extracted from this research shows that our case study is able for attracting many tourists، that for this، should be implement preparations.

Todays tourism industry is one of important resource of incoming in the world. In additional it is the effective elements in cultural exchanges between countries and it has an extensive services industry in the world.

Today، urbanism phenomenon is growing. Analyzing of suitable location and geographic distribution for green spaces is very important in urban future. Selection of location for parks and urban green spaces is complex process that not only needs great technique skills but also; require physical، economic، social and environmental needs. So we should use from multi tools to making decision such as: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) & Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This paper was done in order to suitable selection of urban green spaces. It is applied and the method of research is analysis- descriptive. We study 9 district based on five indicators such as: Demographic، physical، economic، natural and pollution also we use (GIS) software and (AHP) process. In order to، at first were collected local data (plans) and then was done GIS ready also was used overly method in GIS for analyzing information. After that have been given appropriate weight for each indicator according to value and important of green space location. At finally was prepared appropriate model for developing of green spaces from overlapping the same layers. The results of this research show that green spaces of 9 district isn’t appropriate distribution also the green spaces isn’t enough for population needs in future.
