Following the increase in the population of cities and the development of urban life, cities have always faced all kinds of physical, social, economic, and environmental problems. In today's era, solving these problems has become the most important challenge for urban planners. In this regard, planning with the approach of urban livability can create the necessary capacities to deal with these problems. Meanwhile, informal settlements can be considered forgotten and unplanned parts compared to other urban areas, which are very fragile in terms of livability. Therefore, the aim of this research is to measure the informal settlements of Ardabil city based on urban livability indicators and to prioritize them for future planning. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The required data have been collected through field methods. The statistical population of the research corresponds to the 15 informal settlements of Ardabil city. In order to measure the level of livability in the removal areas, the relevant indicators were used using the weighting entropy method, and the target areas were ranked using decision-making techniques, and the Cape Land integration technique was used to achieve the final prioritization. Based on the components used in the present research and the results of the implementation of various decision-making techniques, Salman Abad neighborhood ranked first and Iran Abad neighborhood ranked last in terms of livability with the lowest score. Therefore, it is necessary to plan to improve livability indicators according to the strengths and weaknesses and priorities of each neighborhood.

The tourism industry, ranking as the third-largest sector, plays a crucial role in providing economic resources for cities. Effective management of tourism potential can create substantial income and support sustainable urban development. This research aims to identify challenges obstructing urban tourism development, focusing on Ardabil city as a case study. Employing a descriptive-exploratory approach, the study involves experts familiar with Ardabil's tourism industry as the research population. Fifteen experts were selected using the snowball sampling method as the statistical sample. The questionnaire's reliability was assessed through the retest method, yielding an initial correlation of 0.780 and a repeated correlation of 0.763, indicating acceptable reliability. Validity was ensured through content analysis, with data analyzed using Structural Interpretive Modeling (ISM). Findings reveal that an organization with an influence power of 8 has the greatest impact, while socio-cultural challenges hold the least influence at 5.

​The Mehr housing project is one of the biggest projects, and due to its extent, it is necessary to examine the results of this experience. Given that in 2017, the twelfth government put the national housing action plan on its agenda, the evaluation of Mehr housing complexes can have a positive effect on the implementation of the national housing plan. Therefore, the purpose of the current research is to evaluate the quality of Mehr housing complexes in Ardebil city, which is a step towards the optimal planning of the national housing plan. The statistical population of the research includes 20 experts. In order to evaluate and prioritize the studied complexes, eight parameters (facilities and services, physical, social, lighting and ventilation, pollution, access, environmental, and economic) were used. In this regard, the target sites were prioritized using the MABAC model. The GIS software was also used to better represent the output. The findings showed that Mehr Waliasr housing (Sham Esbi) is in first place with a score of 0.485 and is a good condition, while Mehr Mirasharf housing is ranked last with a score of -0.385 and is in a very unfavorable situation. Mehr Pileh Saharan housing is ranked second with a score of 0.070, which shows the relatively good condition of this complex. The results of the research reveal that in the planning, construction, and implementation of Mehr housing complexes, quantitative and project aspects have surpassed their quality. Therefore, it is hoped that these shortcomings will be overcome in the national housing plan

The entrance of the city is one of the most important elements of the image and urban landscape, but now we are witnessing the cities where there is no sign of an entrance space with the desirable characteristics that it should have. Ardabil city is also among them, despite the fact that this city is one of the historical cities that welcomes thousands of tourists and citizens at all times of the year. But there are many flaws and inadequacies in the appearance and meaning of the entrances of this city that cannot be ignored. In this regard, the aim of the current research is to evaluate the appearance and landscape of Ardabil city with an emphasis on the entrances of the city. For this purpose, a descriptive-analytical method based on library studies and field surveys was used. In this regard, SPSS software and one-sample t-test were used to analyze the data. The statistical population of the research was people living in the entrances of Ardabil city. The findings of the research showed that the average objective dimension of each of the entrances under study indicates that the Tabriz-Ardebil entrance is in a relatively favorable condition compared to other entrances, and the entrance of Ithar Square is in an unfavorable condition. Regarding the perceptual-mental dimension, the Tabriz-Ardebil entrance has a relatively good condition, and the Fatemiyoun square entrance is in an unfavorable condition. In a general conclusion, it can be acknowledged that except for the entrance of Tabriz-Ardebil (Basij Square) which is in a relatively good condition, the other entrances of the target in both objective and perceptual-subjective dimensions have obtained an average below the average (3). which justifies their unfavorable situation. Therefore, it is necessary to manage and organize these inputs by urban planners and managers

One of the most effective and attractive points of any city is its entrance scenery, which leaves an impressive memory in the mind of every viewer, considering that the entrance in every city is a space through which the observer has the first visual and perceptual communication. establishes with the city. Therefore, the quality of this space has a considerable effect on the perceptual experience of the observer, as a result, it is considered as one of the most important urban spaces, the field of action of urban planners and designers, nowadays it is one of the most important issues that the opinion of architects, planners and designers has turned the city towards itself, the issue is the need to improve the quality of the view and the urban landscape in the framework of the visual-aesthetic component of the quality of the environment. It seems that not alone, but in addition to the improvement of other environmental quality components, such as functional-activity, semantic-perceptual and environmental components, can provide a basis for improving the quality of the environment in the public areas of the city in this direction. Ardabil city is also among the historical cities with an outstanding urban identity and history as one of the main tourist destinations. But in spite of its special features in terms of cultural and historical burden and its outstanding location, the entrances of this city are one of the most problematic urban spaces that are struggling with numerous and diverse systems. Since the continuation of these evil practices can have negative effects on the social, cultural and economic status of this city. Therefore, evaluating the quality of these inputs is considered the most important challenge for urban planners and designers in order to improve the quality of the urban image and landscape and create a favorable mental image for people. In this regard, the aim of the current research is to evaluate the quality of the aesthetic dimension of the entrances of Ardabil city, which seeks to answer the following question:Based on the aesthetic criteria, how is the prioritization of the entrances of Ardabil?

Based on the approvals of the Ardabil city council and municipality and the approval of the governorate and ministries of the country, this city is divided into five municipal districts, 15 urban districts and 51 main neighborhoods. Currently, the city of Ardabil has spread over an area of more than 6200 hectares and according to the general population and housing census of 2015 of the Statistics Center of Iran, it has a population of 529,374 people (Nobukht et al., 2019: 285). The scope of the current research is the 5 main axis of Ardabil city, which determines the connection of this city with the surrounding areas. These entrance axes are: Tabriz-Ardebil entrance (Basij Square); Entrance of Moghan - Ardabil (Vahdat Square); Tehran-Ardebil entrance (Isar Square); Astara-Ardebil entrance (Fatemiyoun square) and Astara gate The research method of this research is based on descriptive-analytical method and is practical in terms of purpose. In order to collect data, library and survey methods have been used, the research statistical community also consists of experts, and in this regard, using the snowball method, 10 experts were identified in the area of the investigated problem. A five-point Likert scale (1=very low, 2=low, 3=moderate, 4=high, 5=very high) was used to evaluate the questions. Idas model is one of the new multi-criteria decision making techniques. Idas model means evaluation based on the distance from the average solution and this technique is used to rank options. In methods such as Topsis or Vicor, we measure the desired option based on the distance from the positive and negative ideal, that is, the desired option is the one that has the smallest distance from the positive ideal and the largest distance from the negative ideal. But in the Idas method, the best solution is related to the distance from the average solution (AV). In this method, we do not need to calculate positive and negative ideals, but we consider two criteria to evaluate the desirability of options; The first measure is the positive distance from the mean (PDA) and the second is the negative distance from the mean (NDA).

Considering that the entrance of the city is the first space of the city and guides travelers into the city, therefore the first mental image of a city is formed through the entrance. Therefore, a successful entrance is an entrance that can create a favorable image in the traveler's mind while entering the city. Despite the importance of this topic in today's era, due to the unmeasured expansion of cities, the entrances not only lack coherent planning, but have degraded to such an extent in terms of quality that in their spatial design, often only visible elements are planned to remind the concept of entry, embedding a It is a welcome sign that shows the entrance to the city. Therefore, these spaces have become the forgotten parts of the city. Since the entrances of the city are one of the main components of the physical and spatial structure of the city, the disorderly condition of these entrances can reduce the cohesion of the urban landscape and the cultural load of the city and disrupt its cultural and social image. Therefore, due to the importance of the appearance and landscape of city entrances in the urban identity in order to achieve the category of urban environment quality, it is inevitable. Therefore, in this research, relying on this main assumption, the aim of the current research was to evaluate the quality of the aesthetic aspect of the entrances of Ardabil city. . Also, according to experts' opinions based on a 5-point Likert spectrum, the quality of Tabriz-Ardebil entrance is above average (3); Astara-Ardebil (Fatemiyoun Square) and Astara-Ardebil (Astara Gate) on average; The entrances of Mughan-Ardebil and Tehran-Ardebil have been evaluated below the average level and at a weak level. After selecting the criteria and options, the weight of the criteria has also been calculated by Shannon's entropy model. In this research, the goal is to analyze and rank the entrances of Ardabil city based on aesthetic indicators. By ranking, you can find out the status of the options, which means that by comparative comparison, you can find out which ones are in a good condition and which ones are in an unfavorable condition, so that the necessary measures can be taken in this case. Based on this, in this research, the entrances of Ardabil city have been studied using the Idas model. In the following, the results of the implementation of this model in the Excel environment are given. According to the results of the Idas model, in a general conclusion, the entrance of Tabriz-Ardebil with the highest ASi score is in the first place, the entrance of Astara-Ardebil (Fatiyoun Square) with a score of (0.823) is in the second place; Astara-Ardebil entrance (Astara gate) with Amitaz (0.718) in the third place, then Moghan-Ardebil entrance with a score of (0.538) and Tehran-Ardebil entrance with Amitaz (0.428) respectively in the fourth place and Chenjam have been placed. Also, according to the opinion of experts based on a 5-point Likert scale, the quality of Tabriz-Ardebil input is above average (3); Astara-Ardebil (Fatemiyoun Square) and Astara-Ardebil (Astara Gate) on average; The entrances of Moghan-Ardebil and Tehran-Ardebil are lower than average and evaluated at a weak level

Since the land surrounding the city, especially in Iranian cities, is considered as a supporting environment for the city, and at the same time, a large part of Iranian cities are created behind the banks of agricultural lands and natural and human phenomena. Paying attention to determining a suitable direction for the future growth and development of the city is very important. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to find the optimal location of the physical expansion of Sardasht City using the combined Hasse method and the fuzzy network analytical process (FANP) of the spatial information system. 

The method of the current research is practical and analytical in terms of its descriptive nature, in order to achieve the goal of the research, different layers of information, including height, percentage of slope, slope direction, distance from main roads, distance from the city center, distance from areas Forest protection, distance from water sources, land use, distance from waterways and distance from watersheds are included in ARC GIS software and while analyzing them in geographic information system database using FANP, lands It was found suitable for the future physical development of Sardasht City.

The results of the research showed that based on the overlap map obtained, which is the result of fuzzy models and  analytic network process (ANP), the best lands for the future development of Sardasht City are scattered in the south, southwest, northeast and west parts of the city. Also, the most unsuitable parts in this field are scattered in the east, northwest and parts of the west of the city

According to the findings of the research, the completely suitable and relatively suitable floor is located in the south, southwest, northeast and west parts. Unsuitable floors are located in the south end of the city and small parts are scattered in the study area. The completely inappropriate class includes the north, northwest, east and parts of the western areas of the city.

The Mehr housing project is one of the biggest projects, and due to the extent of this project, it is necessary to examine the results of this experience. Therefore, the purpose of the current research is to evaluate the quality of Mehr ardabil city housing complexes, a step towards the optimal planning of the national housing plan. The statistical population of the research is the residents of Mehr housing complexes in Ardabil city. In order to evaluate and prioritize the studied complexes, 8 parameters (facilities and services, physical, social, lighting and ventilation, pollution, access, environmental, economic) were used. In this regard, the target sites have been prioritized using the PROMETHEE model. The findings showed that Mehr Waliasr Housing (Sham Esbi) is in the first place with a score of 0.430 and is in a good condition. On the other hand, Mehr Mirasharf housing is in the last place with a score of -0.308 and is in a very unfavorable situation. Mehr Pileh Saharan Housing is ranked second with a score of 0.320, which shows the relatively good condition of this complex. The results of the research show that in the planning, construction and implementation of Mehr housing complexes, quantitative and project aspects have surpassed its quality. Therefore, it is hoped that these shortcomings will be resolved in the national housing plan.

In recent years, paying attention to the characteristics of the residential environment and satisfaction with housing has gained special importance, but paying attention to the characteristics of different income groups, especially the vulnerable sections of the society, such as those seeking help, has not been given much attention. This is despite the fact that by knowing the residential environment of these groups, it is possible to pay more attention to them in planning and policies, and ultimately it will improve the residential environment and ultimately urban growth and development. It became a stable city. In this regard, the aim of the current research is to measure the satisfaction of the low-income urban strata with the quality of the components of the residential environment in Nair city. The data collection tool included documentary studies and surveys through the distribution of questionnaires. The statistical population of the research consists of the urban help-seekers of Nair City Aid and Welfare Committee, which were randomly available, SPSS software was used to analyze the data. In this regard, one-sample t-test and independent t-test, as well as one-way analysis of variance and Sheffe's post hoc test have been used. The findings from the one-sample t-test showed that the clients' satisfaction with their residential environment is higher than the average (3.05) and the one-way variance analysis of the influence of individual characteristics indicates that Age had an effect on satisfaction. According to the results of the research, creating more facilities for access to health and treatment centers and creating parks and green spaces can reduce the problems of residents and increase the level of satisfaction of these groups with their housing.

In the process of rapid urbanization, the villages surrounding the cities are integrated into the cities and different neighborhoods appear in the cities and unstable urban cores are formed due to the inability of the city officials to manage these neighborhoods. Neighborhood instability is the most important obstacle to sustainable urban development, and this problem reaches its peak at the level of neighborhoods with rural cores. Therefore, in this research, the sustainability of villages integrated into Ardabil city and the leveling of their sustainability status in different dimensions for future planning have been investigated.The present research method is applied according to the objective and descriptive-analytical in nature. The statistical population of the research is 5 neighborhoods from the total neighborhoods of Ardabil city which used to be "villages" and have been annexed to the city in recent years. The sampling was done randomly and the Cochran relationship was used to estimate the sample size with a probability of 0.95% confidence. The sample size was estimated to be 387 people. For data analysis, Excel and SPSS software were used and by using the stability barometer model, the stability levels of the target neighborhoods in 4 dimensions (socio-cultural, economic, environmental and physical) was determined.Based on the metrics used and the results of the implementation of the stability barometer model in the present study, all the target localities are in an unstable state in each of the dimensions of stability. The average level of sustainability in terms of ecosystem well-being in the studied area is equal to 0.205 and human well-being is equal to 0.237, which shows the unstable situation of both; Human well-being is slightly more stable than ecosystem well-being.

The entrances of the city are among the important elements of the city scenery, which enable the communication of the space outside of a city, the city limits with its interior. In fact, these spaces represent and reflect the city's identity and are usually considered as one of the effective criteria in the judgment of newcomers about the city as a whole. Therefore, the purpose of the current research is to evaluate the physical-environmental components of the urban landscape in the entrance spaces of Ardabil city. The present study is applied in terms of its nature and descriptive, analytical and survey method. The statistical population of the research includes 15 experts and professionals in the urban planning profession in Ardabil city. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. Validity of the research Using face validity, the reliability and validity of the questionnaire was obtained using Cronbach's alpha of 0.821. The resulting data were first analyzed using SPSS and Excel software, and then, after weighting the studied indicators. Using the Shannon entropy method, the selected entrances were ranked using the COPRAS model. The results of the implementation of the said model show that, in terms of physical-environmental criteria, the entrances of Tabriz-Ardebil, Astara-Ardebil (Fatemiyoun Square), Astara-Ardebil (Astara gate) and Mughan-Ardebil in rank E It is the first to the fourth and the entrance of Tehran-Ardebil is also in the last place. The obtained results indicate that among the studied inlets, the Tehran-Ardebila inlet does not have a favorable condition and is at an unfavorable level. Therefore, it is necessary to place this input in the priority of the intervention of urban planners and managers.

Green city is one the new approaches evoked by the concepts of sustainable urban development, which can be used to improve the quality of the environment and sustainable urban development. Meanwhile, following the outbreak of Covid 19 virus, the reduction or cessation of some activities has positive effects on the environment. On this basis, proper management and maintaining a favorable environmental situation resulting from this pandemic can pave the way to achieving sustainable development. Therefore, the aim of this study is evaluate the stability of Ardabil city during the pavilion of Covid 19 with approach of realizing the green city. The leading research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature and method and its statistical population is citizens of the three regions of Ardabil. The method of determining the sample size was using Cochran's formula, in which 382 samples were determined. It should be noted that sampling method of this research is stratified random. Excle and SPSS software were used to analyze the data. Then, using the stability barometer model, the target areas were leveled. Findings show that score of stability of social dimension (0.522) economic (0.489), environmental (0.434) and total sustainability (0.476) and shows the average level of sustainability, welfare score Ecosystem is equal to (0.434) and human welfare is equal to (0.495). Among these, the towns of Azadi, Rezvan, Azadegan and Hafez due to having favorable conditions in all three dimensions of stability studied have the most positive impact and in contrast to Molabashi and Molayosef neighborhoods because they are informal settlements in all three dimensions of causal stability. Especially in environmental dimension, they have the most negative impact on the studied criteria. Therefore, the necessary planning in accordance with the strengths, weaknesses and priorities of each neighborhood is necessary..

Harm to animals is a socially abnormal behavior that in recent years, has been one of the examples of violence against animals, their killing or inappropriate social treatment by citizens, and one of the reasons for social fear and unprincipled treatment of urban animals, insufficient knowledge of They are. Animals are part of the natural society and have an effective and undeniable role in balancing the natural system. Accordingly, this study was conducted to investigate the social factors affecting the phenomenon of animal abuse in the city of Ardabil in terms of evaluating the indicators and components related to the phenomenon of animal abuse. The research method is applied according to the purpose and in terms of nature and descriptive-analytical method. The data required for this study have been collected through field and documentary methods. The statistical population of the study is Ardabil. In order to study the social factors affecting the phenomenon of animal abuse in the urban environment, 4 indicators in the form of 23 items were used, then the PROMETHEE multi-criteria decision model was used to analyze the data. The results show that the cultural-educational index with a score of 0.0208, the legal index with a score of 0.01614, the environmental index with a score of 0.01533, and the social index with a score of -0.00253 have the highest and lowest impact on the phenomenon of animal abuse, respectively. They are in Ardabil. It is necessary that the average of all studied indicators in terms of effectiveness is also higher than the average (3).

The cityscape, particularly the city entrances, plays a significant role in attracting tourists and forming their initial impressions of a city. However, the entrance spaces of Ardabil, despite its rich cultural and historical heritage and strategic location as a major tourist destination, suffer from various problems and do not exhibit the desired characteristics. This research aims to assess the visual appeal and landscape quality of Ardabil's city entrances and prioritize them for future planning. The study adopts an applied research approach with a descriptive, analytical, and survey method. The research population consists of 15 urban planning experts and professionals in Ardabil. Four indicators, including physical, functional, aesthetic, and representation of the city's identity, were used to measure desirability. The Shannon's entropy model was utilized to assign weights to the indicators, and the PROMETHEE model was employed to prioritize the entrances based on the desired indicators. The results ranked the entrances as: 0.226, 0.011, -0.104, -0.074, with the first four entrances taking the top spots, and the Tehran-Ardabil entrance ranking fifth with a score of -0.059. Consequently, planning efforts should be organized according to the strengths and weaknesses of each entrance, while respecting the priority of intervention.

The quality of urban environments and mental health interact with each other, and the quality of urban environments affects people's mental health. Considering that one of the important dimensions of the quality of urban environments is the physical-physical dimension.. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to measure the physical-physical quality of the urban environment with an emphasis on the mental health of citizens, which was carried out on a case-by-case basis in Region 3 of Ardabil city. Is. The upcoming research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. In order to measure the physical-physical quality of the studied neighborhoods, 5 indicators (accessibility, beauty and visual order, functional attractiveness, physical form and facilities of the residential unit) were used. The validity of the research was obtained by using face validity, and the reliability of the questionnaire was obtained using Cronbach's alpha of 0.830. Then, based on simple stratified random sampling, 480 people were questioned in order to analyze the data and prioritize the localities in terms of quality. Physical-Physical COPRAS multi-criteria decision making model was used in Excel environment. According to the findings of the research and the results of the COPRAS model, among the localities of the 3rd region of Ardabil city, Hafez has the best status and the first place with the highest score, followed by Rezvan, Azadi, Azadegan in the second to fourth position. are favorable and Malabashi and Melayoussef neighborhoods are in the most unfavorable situation and the last place with the lowest percentage. Due to the importance of the quality of urban environments in the mental health of citizens, more and more detailed planning is felt in order to improve the physical-physical condition of the neighborhoods and then improve the level of mental health of citizens.

Today, the tourism industry is one of the pillars affecting the urban and regional economy and is a powerful tool that includes economic, social and environmental effects. Urban tourism, as one of the sub-sectors of tourism, has recently received the attention of planners and administrators. Based on this, the aim of the current research is to investigate the impact of urban tourism indicators on the urban and regional economy, which has been carried out on a case-by-case basis in Ardabil city. The current research is applied in terms of its nature and descriptive, analytical and survey method. The statistical population of the research includes 15 experts and specialists. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The validity of the research was obtained using face validity and the reliability of the questionnaire was obtained using Cronbach's alpha 0.828. In order to analyze the data and prioritize the indicators in terms of effectiveness, the EDAS multi-criteria decision making model was used in the form of Excel software. The results of the application of the mentioned model showed that among the selected indicators, the physical-spatial index with the highest score (1) is in the first place and the human resource management structure index with the lowest score (0.728) in the first ranks, respectively. They are placed last.

Cities as a suitable place and urbanization as a desirable way of life are considered to be one of the most important centers of development. Meanwhile, cultural traditions as an important category in sustainable urban development with the penetration and influence of capitalist culture in the third world, including Iran, have caused heterogeneous urban concentration and accelerated urban growth. In order to solve the upcoming challenges, several viewpoints have been formulated in order to achieve sustainability; One of the newest and most successful approaches is the Peaceful City movement, which was created as a cultural movement to increase the quality of life and reduce speed in cities. Based on this, the current research has been compiled with the aim of investigating the role of cultural traditions on the sustainable development of Ardabil city with the approach of Aram city, for future planning. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The data required for this study have been collected through field and documentary methods. The statistical population of the research corresponds to the 5 regions of Ardabil city. To rank the 5 regions of Ardabil city in terms of Shahr Aram indicators, Vicor's multi-criteria decision making model was used in the Excel environment. Shannon's entropy model has also been used to weight the indicators. The findings of the research indicate that the average of the indicators was below the average, so that except for the infrastructure index, the average of all the indicators was less than 3. The results obtained from the implementation of the Vicor model also show that the highest rank belongs to region two and the lowest rank belongs to region one. 

In the modern capitalist system, the city is considered as a suitable place and urbanism as a desirable way of living in it. The rise and influence of the capitalist culture in the third world, including Iran, followed the trend of industrialization, and the assembly and related industry, as a clear symbol of that irreparable damage and complications, was planted in the economic and social structure of the Iranian society. Among its consequences is the heterogeneous urban concentration and rapid growth of the urban population due to the extensive rural-urban migration. A process that actually causes the transfer of the mostly poor population to the cities. The expansion of urban life and urbanism and the concentration of capital in cities have caused neglect of rural areas. which causes population flow or in other words migration from villages to cities and vice versaThe excessive reliance of modern urbanism on the needs of vehicular movement and neglecting the maintenance and organization of pedestrian spaces has led to the decline of social, cultural and visual values, and as a result, the quality of life and urban livability decreases. The rapid growth of cities, the exponential increase of the urban population, and the subsequent inappropriate and disorganized physical growth, have the consequences of dissatisfaction with urban life and are associated with the loss of vitality. Our time is the time of speed; Travel, communication, production and exchange, weather changes, etc. are faster. With the ren

Noise pollution can be found today in most urban and industrial areas of cities, which has many effects on hearing, emotions, psyche and human body, and its high level can cause serious damage to the health of the individual and society. The city of Ardabil is not free from this problem and noise pollution can be seen in the crowded and busy squares and intersections of the city. These squares and intersections have not been studied as they should be and perhaps from the angle of noise pollution in order to pay attention to specific reactions in proportion to the load of noise pollution and the reflection of its effects. Therefore, in the present study, the situation of noise pollution in crowded and busy intersections and intersections of Ardabil city in the distance between Tazeh Maidan and Sarein station has been investigated. According to the issues raised, the present study seeks to answer the question of what is the situation of noise pollution in squares and busy intersections of Ardabil city (fresh distance from the square to Sarein station)?

The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. The required information has been collected in the form of field studies and the use of questionnaires, interviews, observations and library-documentary studies according to the nature of the problem and the purpose of the research. The statistical population of the study consists of the citizens of Ardabil, which has 525,702 people, of which 382 people were selected as a sample based on the Cochran's formula. In order to increase the accuracy of the work, a total of 420 questionnaires were distributed and completed by stratified random sampling method (70 questionnaires for each of the selected fields). The results of calculating the Cronbach's alpha test for the questionnaire were 0.823, which indicates the high reliability of the research tool.All steps of data processing were performed with Excel and SPSS software and finally to prioritize the studied fields in terms of noise pollution from The COPRAS multi-criteria decision model is used.COPRAS model:Multi-criteria decision models (MCDMs), sometimes called multi-objective decision models and multi-criteria analysis models, are actually a set of methods that allow decision makers to consider A set of criteria (often contradictory) to select, rank, sort, or describe a set of options in the decision-making process .Many models have been proposed for multi-criteria decisions, each of which has advantages and limitations (Poor Taheri, 1392: 37). The most important features of Coopras multi-criteria decision model compared to other multi-criteria decision models can be mentioned as follows:1- It is clear that this model is simpler than other models such as AHP and TOPSIS and requires less time for calculations compared to these methods.2. Coopers can provide a complete ranking of options.3- This model is able to use both quantitative and qualitative criteria to calculate the criteria.4. Coopers has the ability to calculate positive (maximum) and negative (minimum) criteria separately in the evaluation process.5. Another important feature that makes the Coopras decision model superior to other decision models is that it can estimate the degree of importance of each option and show it by percentage to what extent a better option or It is worse and in this respect to make a complete comparison between the options.The following is a calculation of the Coopras model.Step 1: Form the initial matrixAfter determining the weight of the criteria, the decision matrix is formed as the first step of the Coopers model. The decision matrix means that the options are on one side of the matrix and the criteria are on the other.Step 2: Form a collective decision matrix In this step, the respondents' opinions are aggregated using the arithmetic mean.Step 3: Formation of normalized (weighted) matrix To weight the decision matrix, using Equation (1), the values of each option are multiplied by their weight and divided by the sum of the values. Relationship (1): dij = In this formula, qi is the weight of the i index and xij is the value of each option per criterion: Step 4: Calculate the value of positive and negative criteria (Sj- & Sj-) In this step, we calculate the positive sj + criteria using Equation (2) and the negative sj- criteria using Equation (3). A positive or consistent criterion is a criterion that, as its value increases, its desirability increases, but for negative criteria, the desirability decreases as the value increases. After determining the positive and negative criteria, the final value of the positive and negative criteria should be calculated using equations (2) and (3).Relationship (2): Sj+ Relationship (3): Sj- Step 5: Calculate the final value of the options (Q value) In this step, the final value of each option (Q) is calculated. In this section, first 1 is divided by Sj and then according to Equation (4), the value of Q is calculated for each option, in which the value of Q indicates the value and importance of each option in terms of criteria. Step 6: Determine the desirability of the options Finally, using Equation (5), the option with a degree of desirability close to one is the best option. That is, it is enough to divide the number Q among the numbers obtained in the previous step by the maximum Q. The total value of each criterion varies from 0 to 100% and the best and worst option is determined among this range.

In this study, in order to evaluate the situation of noise pollution in busy squares and intersections of Ardabil city, a 5-point Likert scale was used and ranks 1 to 5 were assigned to the answers, score 1 indicates the lowest quality and score 5 indicates The highest quality is the relevant criterion. Thus, the number 3 is considered as the theoretical median of the answers and the average obtained from the noise pollution situation is compared with the number 3. Based on the results of statistical calculations, the highest amount of noise pollution is related to the market with an average (4.476) and the lowest amount of noise pollution is related to Sarein station with an average (3.573). The average of total noise pollution is also higher than the average (3). In the Coopers model, the option that has the best status in terms of criteria is identified with the highest degree of Nj importance, which is equal to 100%; As can be seen in Table 2, Sarein station with Nj 100 has the lowest amount of noise pollution and in the best condition and market intersection with Nj 386/80 has the most noise pollution and in the most unfavorable condition compared to other squares and intersections has been studied. Among the studied variables, the variable related to the amount of noise caused by the activities of businesses and street vendors in the market area has had the greatest impact on increasing the amount of noise pollution at this intersection.

Planning to create desirable and safe spaces for women is of particular importance due to their biological characteristics and precarious position in terms of security. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess women's satisfaction with the desirability of urban public spaces and social security in Ardabil.The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical based on the method of data collection. The statistical population of the study consists of women in Ardabil, of which 384 questionnaires were distributed randomly using Cochran's formula. . One-sample t-test, one-way variance (and Scheffe post hoc test) in Spss software were used to analyze the collected data.Based on the research findings, the level of dissatisfaction by women is assessed at an unfavorable level and in general, their level of satisfaction with all the studied indicators is less than average (theoretical mediocrity = 3). The results of one-way analysis of variance test also indicated the effect of age and level of education of respondents on satisfaction. Also, independent t-test of marital variable showed that there is a significant difference between the opinions of single people and married people about their satisfaction.

One of the goals of urban planning is to provide appropriate types of public services, so the quantity and quality of access to these services is one of the most important indicators to assess whether or not regions have urban land use facilities, which in the case of balanced distribution can lead to spatial justice. Accordingly, this study was conducted to investigate and assess the status of informal settlements in Ardabil in terms of public welfare services in the land use system and prioritize them for future planning. The research method is applied according to the purpose and in terms of nature and descriptive-analytical method. The data required for this study have been collected through field and documentary methods. The statistical population of the study corresponds to 15 neighborhoods of informal settlements in Ardabil. Excel and Spss software were used to analyze the data. Then, in order to assess the status of public welfare services, the target area was weighted using entropy method and ranked using Vikor technique, and finally, ArcGIS software was used to display it on the map. Based on the criteria used and the results of the implementation of the Vikor technique, among the informal settlements of Ardabil, Salmanabad neighborhood with the highest score and Iranabad neighborhood with the lowest score are in the first and last level, respectively. Findings of the study reflect that the most weakness and inadequacy among the studied indicators are related to green space uses as well as sports and recreation. Therefore, development-oriented planning in accordance with the strengths, weaknesses and priorities of each neighborhood is necessary.

One of the most important housing projects that otherwise hidden aspects of the management of can cause a lot of problems to the residents of the housing, the housing site is the location. So,this paper is to analyze the status of locating housing sites in Ardabil in terms of environmental factors.The method, according to the purpose and nature of the analytical method. Evaluation criteria include environmental 7 factors (criteria dip, fault lines, the depth of ground water, soil, geology, distance from urban centers and networks) are. In order to standardize and benchmark valuation maps, fuzzy logic techniques were used. In order to weigh the map, CRITIC-AHP integrated method for analyzing whether the existing land area of housing used taken VIKOR. The findings show that the housing site Valieasr with a final score of 0.29 with close to ideal conditions. In contrast, Mehr housing Myrashrf with a final score of 0.76 has a farthest distance from the ideal option positive. The final score is calculated for Mehr housing Pile shran also 0.56, the status of this option compared with other options and shows the desired option. Thus, it appears that Mehr housing Myrashrf, with the lowest and farthest from locating desirable and is also the worst among the options studied. It should be noted that priority is shown, depending on the criteria used their weight is obtained. The results output, that the sites dedicated to housing Ardabil ,due to environmental conditions in the worst situation is Mir Ashrf site.

Waste disposal and accumulation in the environment is well known as an environmental and human health problem that, in addition to environmental aesthetic issues, is a threat to the mental, physical, and emotional health of citizens. Despite the positive effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on the environment, it has also had negative effects on the environment. This study aimed to pathologically analyze the environmental behavior of citizens in District 3 of Ardabil with emphasis on littering during the COVID-19 pandemic and taking into account four criteria (lack of facilities, dirty environment, anonymity, and habit of littering). 

This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. Excel and SPSS software (to estimate the average answers to the questionnaire) were used to analyze the data. To measure the environmental behaviors of the citizens of the studied areas, the relevant indicators were used with the entropy weighting method and the target areas were classified using decision-making techniques. Finally, the Copeland integration technique was used to achieve the final prioritization.

Based on the findings of various decision-making techniques, the Molayosef and Molabashi neighborhoods were in the most unfavorable situation with the lowest score and ranked first in terms of waste distribution, and the Rezvan neighborhood was in the last rank with the highest score and had the best status.

Since many citizens consider the lacked or poor waste disposal services as one of the important reasons for littering behavior, therefore, providing health-care and education infrastructure in the city is very important to encourage community members toward responsible environmental behaviors.

Population growth, the proliferation of motor vehicles, the rise of industry, and the life of human societies in general, along with growing technology, are among the causes of abnormal noise that causes noise pollution. The effects of noise pollution are harmful and threaten the health of living organisms, especially humans. Industrial development improves the quality of human life, which in the absence of proper and accurate control, causes environmental pollution.With the mechanization of life, noise pollution has penetrated the most private parts of citizens' lives. This has been particularly effective for high-risk groups such as children, the elderly, pregnant women, and the mentally ill. Therefore, it is clear that today in urban life, we are witnessing the occurrence of environmental pollutants such as noise pollution, which is currently one of the most important environmental pollution affecting the health of citizens. In recent years, noise pollution has always been one of the main concerns of living in urban environments and has affected the quality of life of people around the world. Noise pollution is known as one of the factors affecting the quality of human life.Environmental pollution has attracted more and more global attention in the last three decades. Meanwhile, the issue of noise pollution in cities in most countries, is a global problem that is considered an important category to determine the quality of life of citizens. With these descriptions, it can be said that this phenomenon is clearly visible a serious risk factor, especially in the crowded and noisy intersections of the city. On the other hand, the situation of noise pollution and its influential components in busy and crowded squares and intersections can be an income for the gradual organization of the relevant problems. However, this problem is a long-standing and obvious problem in cities, especially in busy intersections. These squares and intersections have not been examined as they should be and perhaps in terms of noise pollution status in order to have specific reactions in proportion to the load of noise pollution and the reflection of its effects. And it is not clear which of the city's intersections has more noise pollution than the other to prioritize intervention for planning and management to reduce this phenomenon. Therefore, in "Study", the situation of noise pollution in squares and busy intersections of Ardabil in three specific time intervals during the day has been investigated.

The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. The required information has collected in the form of field studies and the use of questionnaires, interviews, observations and library-documentary studies according to the nature of the problem and the purpose of the research. In order to assess the situation of noise pollution during three different hours in squares and central and busy intersections of Ardabil city, different components were selected. The statistical population of the study consists of citizens of Ardabil, which has 525,702 people, of which 382 people were selected as a sample based on Cochran's formula. In order to increase the accuracy of the work, a total of 420 questionnaires were distributed and completed by stratified random sampling method (70 questionnaires for each of the selected fields). The results of calculating the Cronbach's alpha test for a questionnaire of 0.823 were obtained, which indicates the high reliability of the research tool.All data processing steps were performed with Excel and SPSS software, and finally measuring and determining the time of noise pollution at different hours in the range The study was conducted using Friedman test, which has a high scientific validity in this field. Since it is appropriate to use Friedman test for intra-group designs (dependent samples), so in the present study, Friedman test has been used. This means that the Friedman test is a generalized Wilcoxon test and is the nonparametric equivalent of the repeated measures test. In this test, we have a group of people or subjects who have been assessed in at least two situations or two different time periods. The goal is to compare changes in scores (median) over several (2 or more) situations or time periods. Researchers generally use this test to rank or prioritize.

Environmental pollution has attracted more and more global attention in the last three decades. Meanwhile, the issue of noise pollution in cities in most countries, is a global problem that is considered as an important category to determine the quality of life of citizens. Since the pollution situation in different squares is not the same, for this purpose, recognizing the severity and weakness of this problem in each of the squares and intersections of the city and the variables affecting it can improve the performance and better decision of city managers in Have the above dilemma. Therefore, in Study 2, the situation of noise pollution in squares and busy intersections of Ardabil in three specific time intervals during the day has been investigated. Based on the status of noise pollution by components affecting it and according to the results of the implementation of Friedman test extracted from the questionnaire, the highest level of pollution in Shariati Square and then the market in the third period and the lowest level of pollution in all 3 time periods. Sarein station is dedicated. In view of the problem in order to reduce and control noise pollution in the studied squares and intersections, the following solutions are proposed:The most important and practical action in this field is voice control. Because the highest amount of noise pollution in these areas is due to the movement of cars and motorcycles; Culture-building to avoid any noise pollution through the media in the field of familiarity with the rights and duties of citizenship; Strengthen the green cover of the range; Designing and proposing the withdrawal of new street constructions and the creation of a green terrace; Encourage people to use public transportation or bicycles and walk, organize the location of stations and vehicle stops and paths leading to intersections; Use of urban furniture resistant to atmospheric factors to eliminate abnormal noises; Use of sound barriers such as vertical walls with wood, plaster, glass, concrete, stone, tall and wide metals suitable for street spaces; Construction of green space; Increasing the level of urban green space, especially trees, to reduce pollution and consequently prevent physical and mental complications in residents.

Increasing environmental problems, threats to public health indicators, limited access to recreational facilities, and ultimately to the increasing weakness of access to sustainable development. Meanwhile, due the worrying and increasing threat to health of citizens' lives, urban planners and health planners introduce a relatively new term called health planning, which seeks to link the urban environment with physical and mental health. They are urban dwellers and they strengthen their decisions some basic issues such as urban health, demographic welfare and quality of improving human life. Today, most countries the world, especially developing countries, are facing the phenomenon of widespread urban sprawl. In addition to environmental consequences and social and cultural damage, this trend has affected the health of citizens. With growth and development of urbanization in developing societies, urbanization problems such as environmental degradation, pollution, housing shortages, quality of life have created difficult conditions for urban residents and public health has decreased significantly. About quarter of century ago Increasing issues to growth of cities have led attention to issues such as sustainable development and healthy city. The healthy city approach is considered as dominant approaches in urban and rural studies and even on national scale. Considering the importance the environmental index most important indicators affecting the development of healthy city, this study was conducted with the aim of assessing the environmental situation of Ardabil with healthy city approach.

The present study a descriptive-analytical study with applied purpose. this study, the environmental situation of Ardabil city the approach of healthy city of Ardabil the form 16 criteria (environmental health status, use of safe drinking water, waste production, quality of waste collection system management And its burial, access to green space and parks, the amount of dust in the air, the beauty of urban public spaces, noise pollution, visual pollution, optimal distribution of land uses, access to suitable walking space, access to suitable cycling space, Existence of sufficient number of recreational and sports places, ratio of green space to residential, rate of use of renewable energy, quality of environmental education have been studied and the basis for selecting criteria is based on library and documentary studies. The validity of the content of the questionnaire questions was confirmed by professors and experts and the reliability of the questionnaire was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.817. To obtain the sample size of Ama Ray used Cochran's formula which was estimated to 382 with an error rate of 0.05 and a confidence interval of 95%. In order to increase the accuracy of work, 400 questionnaires (80 questionnaires for each region) were randomly distributed in Ardabil city. Shannon entropy method was used to determine the weight of research criteria and Prometheus model was used to analyze the data. The Multi-Criteria Decision Model (MCDM) is powerful tool has widely used to evaluate and rank problems involving multiple and more conflicting criteria. Among the many MCDM methods, Prometheus is remarkably suitable for ranking programs; Because this model brings integration and flexibility to user, and terms of concept and application compared other methods for analysis. In fact, Prometheus is preferred structured ranking method for enriching the evaluation based on comparison each the options with each other according to the deviations that the alternatives show based on each criterion. Due to structure this model, this method allows direct evaluation without the need to normalize the variables that decision matrix. This method was introduced in 1985 by Brans and Wink for ranking. Among the important advantages of Prometheus method are simplicity of clarity and reliability the results and possibility of sensitivity analysis in simple and fast way. Finally, the ranking is done from largest to the smallest number. The following are the steps for implementing the PROMETHEE model:1- Forming a decision matrix and determining the type criteria (in terms of profit and cost): In this step, while forming a decision matrix, we determine the positive and negative indicators. 2. Determining the weight of indicators: In the present study, Shannon entropy method has used to calculate the weight of criteria. (Table 2) 3. The weighted sum the superiority the option: is obtained by following relation. Equation (1):4. Positive and Negative Ranking Flow: If number of options (denoted by n) is more than two, the final ranking is obtained by sum the values of pairwise comparisons. The ranking stream can obtained using Equation (2) and Equation (3):Equation (2): Positive ranking flowThis stream shows how much option a has priority over other options. The largest (a) + Φ means the best option. Equation (3): Negative rating stream This flow shows how much other options take precedence. What is the smallest value of the (a - Φ option the best option? The ranking of options can be ranked with positive or negative current. The two rankings are not usually the same, but the decision maker It always wants complete ranking because it will be easier to decide. Due to fact that in order to calculate the average of the criteria, a 5-point Likert scale is used and the ranks 1 to 5 are assigned to the questions. Therefore, the number 3 is considered the theoretical middle ground of the answers. Figure 3 shows that both positive and negative environmental criteria of healthy city in Ardabil are bad situation. The average of all positive variables is less than the average (3). But in the negative criteria, except for amount of dust in the air (C6), the average the other negative criteria is higher than the average (3). The PROMETHEE model has used to rank the areas of Ardabil city. The final final output obtained from this model is according to Table (3).

Based the results obtained from Table 3, the net superiority value Φ of Region Two with score of )0.01629(, Region One with score of )0.0444(, Region Three with score of )0.01334(, Region Five with score of )0.00502( and Region Four with score of )-0.00703( to They have highest and lowest levels of environmental health the city, respectively. In general, the research findings show. The city of Ardabil is not a good position in terms of the criteria studied. Comparison the most prosperous region (region 2) with the most deprived region (region 4) in terms of environmental criteria of Salem city indicates that existence of Shurabil recreation site in region 2 has the most positive effect the criteria (access to green space and parks) c5 ), The beauty of public spaces (C7), access to suitable space for walking and cycling (C11), (C12), the existence of recreational place (c14). Also, the establishment of women's park this area distinguishes this area from other areas. In contrast, District 4 of the city, because it is one the sub-urban areas, has been evaluated as unfavorable in all the studied criteria and is critical condition.Figure (3) The status of each the environmental criteria of healthy city Separately shows the five urban areas of Ardabil.

Although the outbreak of coronary heart disease initially resulted in high rates of death from viral infections, over time, the dramatic increase in social ills caused the disease to become a serious threat to cities. Accordingly, the present study has been conducted with the aim of assessing the social harms caused by corona the neighborhoods of region 3 of Ardabil city by emphasizing the criteria of social harm and prioritizing them for future planning. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and analytical in terms of nature. The required data were obtained through survey and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect information. The statistical population of study consists of citizens of District 3 of Ardabil city, of which 382 people were estimated as a sample based on Cochran's formula. Since the random sampling method was classified, 30 questionnaires and total of 480 questionnaires were distributed and completed for each neighborhood. To assess the social damage caused by the corona the studied areas, the relevant indicators using The entropy method of weighting and target areas were ranked using multi-criteria decision making techniques (TOPSIS, SAV, VICOR) and finally the Kopland integration technique was used to achieve the final prioritization. the results of implementation of the mentioned techniques, Malayosev and Malabashi neighborhoods with the lowest score the most unfavorable situation and in the first rank and Rezvan neighborhoods with the highest score in the last rank and with the best status in terms of social harms compared to other neighborhoods According to the respondents, following the outbreak of Covid virus 19 and the psychological stress caused by financial incapacity and economic poverty, it has increased social harms, which is more pronounced in urban suburbs such as Malabashi, Malayusuf and Bahonar.
