The research method was descriptive-analytical. The required information were collected by reviewing the project assessment report, library studies, field observations and interviews. The statistical population was 8840 people from Chaf and Chamkhaleh city in 1395. Then the importance of impacts of the port construction was determined using a rapid impact assessment matrix. The innovation of the study was environmental impact assessment before the implementation of the project in order to predict the impacts. The results showed that the project in both construction and opration phases has significant positive impacts on social and economic sectors such as creating jobs, increasing incomes, improving the transport system, increasing investment in the region and access to goods and services and the most important negative   effects of the project are in the physical and biological environment, such as causing air pollution, noise pollution, water quality changes, loss of soil properties and the effects on plant and animal life. The negative effects could be controlled by limiting dredging operations in critical periods of animal life and vegetation development in the area of harbor.

The purpose of this research is to explain the effectiveness of personality components on residential satisfaction. The applied research was done using the descriptive-analytical method. Hierarchical cluster analysis and K-Means were used to determine the locations of the study sample. The target audience in measuring residential satisfaction is the residents of neighborhoods whose houses were renovated between 1388-1392. According to Cochran's formula, 325 questionnaires were completed in a systematic way in the neighborhoods. The validity of the instrument was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test with a coefficient of 0.72. Exploratory factor analysis is used to explain the factors of residential satisfaction in the neighborhoods, and Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test are used to investigate the influence of personality traits on residential satisfaction, and finally, the relationship between personality traits and the residential satisfaction factors was determined by regression analysis. The innovation of the current research is to investigate the influence of personality components on residential satisfaction in the field of worn-out urban contexts and also to consider the component of the resident's dwelling status as a new component in this field.

The purpose of the current research was to identify the components of urban sustainability in the city of Likk, of the provinces of Kohgiloyeh and Boyer Ahmad, using a descriptive-analytical method. First, 36 indicators in 4 environmental, economic, social and physical dimensions of urban sustainability were determined by using documents and opinions of 23 experts in the relevant field. In order to rank the factors, AHP and Expert Choice software were used. In the present study, the inconsistency rate of all pairwise comparisons was less than 0.1. Therefore, the consistency of the comparison matrix is ​​acceptable. The innovation of the current research was to identify the indicators of sustainability in a small city with a geographical location and specific customs and culture, and to apply quantitative and qualitative criteria simultaneously and score and prioritize them. The findings showed that economic factors, environmental, physical, and social factors were important. Among the components or sub-criteria, income status and employment percentage were considered as the most important factors affecting urban sustainability. Therefore, the indicators of sustainability and their degree of importance in small cities are affected by the economic, social, environmental and physical conditions of those societies. Unbalanced growth of urbanization with inadequate urban infrastructure and lack of sufficient job opportunities cause urban instability. The process of sustainability is a multi-dimensional flow that should be avoided while paying attention to the improvement of the economic situation and the creation of public welfare, the destruction of resources, the destruction of the environment and social anomalies.
