Today the world is experiencing an unprecedented flow of urban . population growth and urbanization is one of the factors influencing air temperature increase in urban areas , which causes the creation of heat island on these regions compared to the surroundings , and its effects can play a vital role in air quality and consequently public health . in this study , aster data are investigated in a case in shiraz , and the خوارزمیک of 5 bands are used to retrieve earth surface temperature and determine the local effects of heat island . in addition , the correlation between surface temperature and vegetation index , construction , barren land and water difference were obtained to determine the effects of green , bare , blue and residential areas on the heat island . the results showed that the effect of urban heat island in shiraz is mainly located in the industrial and residential areas of the west and south east . also , the negative correlation between the temperature of the ground and vegetation index of normal difference showed that green earth and water - covered areas could have weakened the effect of heat island while positive correlation between ground surface temperature and the normalized difference difference can increase the effect of heat island effect in the study area . nowadays , the most important problem in urban areas is to increase the temperature of the earth surface due to the at the natural levels ,

Rapid urban growth and unbalanced development, and consequently the increase in urban population on the one hand, and the complexity of urban issues on the other, have posed serious challenges to cities. In this regard, the model of City prosperity proposes a new approach to urban prosperity and sustainability and seeks a fundamental solution to improve the quality of life. In this research, with an analytical-descriptive approach and with the aim of measuring and comparing the quality of life and the factors affecting it in different areas of Ardabil, the effects of this index in improving the City prosperity index have been investigated. 18 sub-criteria have been used to achieve the research goal. The information and data required in this research have been collected using library resources and statistics for 2016. For analysis, the data were standardized and the network analysis process (ANP) was used to weight each of the indicators. Then, using the Prometheus model, City prosperity is scored for each of the four districts of Ardabil. The results show that districts 1 and 2 of Ardabil city are in a relatively poor condition in terms of quality of life based on the quality of life component and districts 3 and 4 are in a poor condition. Also, the ranking of regions shows that region one and region four, with a score of 50.69 and 49.16, respectively, have the highest and lowest rates of City prosperity index based on the quality of life component.

The information and data required for the research were collected using documentary and field methods. The statistical population includes creative cultural tourists in Isfahan. Using the Cochran's sample estimation formula, the number and sample size of the study population was 385. In order to analyze the data, Excel, SPSS software and Chi-square or Chi-square, univariate, Spearman statistical tests and also to determine strategies and strategies for the development of creative cultural tourism, SWOT model has been used. Research findings indicate that the characteristics and richness of historical monuments; cultural; social; scientific; Handicrafts; Natural art and ... are among the tourist attractions of Isfahan so that creative cultural tourism has a great impact on attracting tourists to this famous city. However, repulsions and lack of facilities related to the creative cultural tourism industry of Isfahan also reduce and do not increase the number of tourists, which in general leads to the weakness of infrastructure facilities for the underdevelopment of cultural tourism. Using the SWOT model, the results showed that the city of Isfahan with a total of 20 strengths and opportunities with a weight score of 3.33 and 3.41, respectively, as advantages, many potentials for the development of creative cultural tourism. But at the same time, 18 weaknesses and threats facing this creative cultural tourism of Isfahan with weight scores of 3.86 and 3.21, respectively, as limitations show that it also faces challenges and problems.

The disorder of the distribution system of service centers in urban spaces has paved the way for social inequality of citizens in accessing these services. Therefore, paying attention to services and how to distribute them in cities is a basic principle in the direction of sustainable development of cities and the basis of spatial justice. The aim of this research is spatial analysis of urban services in ten areas of Tabriz metropolis. For this purpose, the library method was used to collect information. The present study is descriptive-analytical in terms of purpose and applied in terms of results. To analyze and distribute urban services, 17 types of public services were used using quantitative models and also to determine the type of relationship between population and urban services, Pearson correlation test was used in Excel. The results showed that zones 2 and 3 have the best situation in terms of distribution of urban services and region 9 is in an unfavorable situation and has the least public services. The results also show a low correlation between municipal services and population. In general, the findings indicate that the distribution of services is not done properly and is more focused and polar. Therefore, suggestions were made to get out of this situation and achieve a balanced distribution of the city's public services.

Iran produces over 48,000 tons of waste per day (three times the global standard), which imposes huge costs on municipal spending every day. In terms of economic factors, land use, and access. In this research, Geodatabase database was created in ARC.Map .10.5 software using topographic maps, geology, statistics and climatic and demographic and hydrological information and satellite images. 11 digital layers were made of factors affecting landfills in geomorphological, geological, hydro-climatic, environmental and access subdivisions. Then, appropriate and appropriate weights were given by surveying the experts and urban experts, and the criteria of the hierarchical analysis method (AHP) were proposed. The best areas for burying waste. Demonstrated population data analysis from 1985 to 1995, the population of Jaghtai will reach 1,730 in 1415, given the population growth rate and production will be 43,800 tons of waste, so a 2-hectare area is needed to bury the waste. The research results show that 43 square kilometers of the central part of Jaghtai is suitable for the creation of a landfill site; which is one of the options. It is also recommended to use the site of the southwestern marginal site of Jaghtai city suitable for temporary landfill, construction of waste separation unit or compost production unit due to excellent access.

Development informal residential spaces in cities and especially metropolitan areas, provides a concept of quality of urban life which needs to be upgraded and reconsidered. In this regard, Present study focuses on informal communities and identify the quality components related to the built environment in terms of objective qualities and subjective qualities in relation to residents' satisfaction with the settlement in the form of physical–spatial characteristics with their irreplaceable roles in determining the residents' lifestyle. In this research, to achieve the goal, both qualitative research method and survey strategy are applied. Data collection is done through literature review, and also field impression of space users along with survey analytical method of Fuzzy Delphi and Entropy Shannon Technique. In the part of documentary study, 33 quality components are achieved and evaluated from the perspective of "improving the quality of informal settlements" via Delphi Method. Through initial screening, 9 components and in the following according to experts' consensus 3 more components are removed from the list. As a result, the study attains 21 qualitative components which are categorized into 2 main dimensions of objective and subjective qualities and 7 thematic categories in following. Finally, findings from analyzing the indicators using Shannon Technique show that the dimension of "Residential Satisfaction" and the category of " safety and security" are having the most impact on enhancing the quality of informal settlements. As well, among single indicators, "crime prevention", "accessibility and permeability" and "facilities and infrastructure" are the highest influencers in the list.
