Problem definition:

 According to the report of the World Economic Forum in 2019, Iran is not in a good position in terms of tourism competitiveness. Existing statistics also do not show a significant annual figure of foreign tourists visiting. On the other hand, today human resources and their management and development are one of the key factors in the success of using tourism as a factor of sustainable economic development and increasing employment opportunities, income and profit from tourism operations in each region.

The purpose of the present study was to identify and prioritize human resources development solutions in Isfahan tourism industry.

This study is applied in terms of purpose and survey method. In this study, qualitative content analysis method was used to extract tourism development human resources solutions and then by distributing a questionnaire among 20 tourism experts and prioritizing them using TOPSIS method.

The findings of the study suggest 11 strategies in 3 dimensions of executive, educational and incentive strategies that, according to the TOPSIS method, provide general education strategies, enrich and target training courses, design retraining courses and continuous development of professional skills. Preparation of human resources competency map in tourism industry and development and monitoring of public and private scientific centers of tourism industry in Isfahan province are the most important human resource development solutions in Isfahan province.Innovation: In this study, for the first time, human resource development solutions in the tourism industry of Isfahan province were identified and classified using qualitative content analysis and prioritized using TOPSIS technique.

Statement of the problemPoverty in rural areas has been shaped by economic, social, political, cultural, and historical factors and ultimately by rural underdevelopment. Thus, there is a close link between poverty and rural life as more than three quarters of the poor live in rural areas. Measuring and identifying poverty is an essential component of knowledge for formulating programs and policies for poverty alleviation in society. PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explain the rural poverty situation in Kouhdasht County, to identify the spatial distribution of rural poverty in Kouhdasht Count.MethodologyThe present research is exploratory and question-oriented. Also, this research is applied based on descriptive-analytical method. Data collection tools were library and field studies (questionnaire, observation). The statistical population includes the villages of Kouhdasht County. The sample of 26 villages with appropriate spatial distribution across all districts selected. The selected stratified random sampling method used to select the villages. Data collection tools were library and field studies (questionnaire, observation). Results and InoovationOne-sample t-test used to compare poverty indices. For this comparison a spectrum with 5 states (intervals 1 to 5) is used, so the average mean for evaluating the indices is 3. All indicators except the political index have a high level of significance. Also, considering that the mean of 3 is considered as demographic and equity indices with mean higher than 3, it indicates the desirable status of these indices compared to other indices and the t-statistic of each is respectively. The values are 6.99 and 2.20, and the lowest mean is related to environmental and education indices, which indicate an unfavorable situation with t-values of -13.98 and -8.04.

All analyzes and surveys of per capita water consumption since 1279 (the 20th century) show that the per capita water available to Iranians has been declining, reaching from 4,000 m3 to 1,760 m3 per year. Whatever the reason for this increasing decline, it will mean that a national program is needed to supply the water needed. Many researchers believe that part of the problem can be resolved by resource management, but with the description in the long-term 50-year plan, water scarcity is not something that can be ignored without replacing new sources. On the other hand, the heterogeneous distribution of climate in Iran poses a rational need for equilibrium distribution. Therefore, one of the suggested solutions for supplying new water resources and distributing it in a homogeneous way is the Iran National Water Network. This idea, regardless of cost-benefit calculations, can be considered as a multi-step design and preliminary study. Hundreds of kilometers of open water border is an undeniable advantage of using seawater as a means of producing new water resources, especially as water shortages in coastal areas and islands are already severe and if the development of coastal areas is on the agenda in the future, this will be even more serious. This article attempts to select locations off the southern coast of Iran, using profiling and analysis of topographic points, which can drastically divert water to coastal areas and parts of central Iran and provide initial bases for part of the national water network plan from the Persian Gulf and Oman resources

Statement of the Problem: 

The agricultural and rural livelihood sector in Iran has faced successive droughts in recent years and has posed a major challenge to the sustainability of rural communities. Many rural households left rural areas due to the inability to cope with the drought and migrated to urban communities. Therefore, identifying the factors affecting mental ability in critical situations is of great importance.

The main aim of the present study was toinvestigate the role of spatial belonging on the psychological ability to deal with drought in the central part of Bavi County.

The statistical population of this study consisted of all rural households in Bavi County of Khuzestan province. Using the Cochran formula and the stratified proportional sampling method, 190 individuals were selected as the study sample. The data collection tool of the study was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by a panel of experts, and its reliability was established by calculating Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient (α > 0.7). Data analysis was done using SPSSwin18, Lisrel8.54,  and Arc GIS10.5 software.

The results of correlation analysis showed  a positive and significant relationship between all dimensions of the sense of spatial belonging (cognition of behavior, social bond, spatial identity, and emotional attachment) of the studied families and their psychological ability. The results of structural equation modeling showed that the dimension of rural spatial belonging with the coefficient of determination 0.46 (γ= 0.68, t= 5.46) had a positive and significant effect on the psychological ability of the households. Innovation: Considering that no research has been done in this field in Khuzestan province due to the unfavorable weather conditions, the present study is considered as an innovative aspect for the present study.

Natural evidence suggests that past climatic conditions have changed dramatically. Most land formations are not justified by current processes and their origin is attributed to climatic processes other than the current climate. Climate change has always been associated with the rise and fall of glaciers. Climate change and the displacement of permanent snowflakes have certainly led to changes in shaping systems, including the karst-fiction system. With reference to documentary sources (geological and topographic maps, digital elevation model, temperature and precipitation information of Esfzari databases, satellite images), the purpose of this paper is to study the changes in the geometric properties of karst landforms (Dolin, Strait, Canyon, Calcareous region, Home, Caves and springs), in relation to the Quaternary climate (temperature and precipitation), altitude and fault. Examining the density and dispersion of these forms, considering the factors affecting karst (climate, altitude and tectonics), it can be concluded that although changes in karst landforms follow the same vector as altitude; taking into account temperature changes, glacial, abscission and landslides that occur in the highlands, Changes in some karst landforms cannot be definitively attributed to favorable or unfavorable dissolution conditions. The interpretation of such landforms must take into account the palimpsest (multi-painting) paradigm. In the evolution of karst landforms, processes have often operated in the same way and mathematical logic cannot be used to change the karstic-fiction boundaries of the Quaternary.

The purpose of this study is to allocate multi objectives of agricultural, urban and industrial land uses in Mobarakeh county, by considering the conflicts with other land uses for optimal allocation of land uses. In order to standardize and determine the weight of ecological, physical and socio-economic criteria and sub-criteria for each land use, the AHP model was used and after evaluating the potential of area for the intended land uses that obtained by WLC method, all land uses were integrated by using the MOLA method. In the last step, the best patches for each land use were identified by TOPSIS method. The results of this study showed that all the mentioned areas after the integration of land uses include those pixels whose usefulness in weighted linear combination maps in agricultural land use from 0.98, in industrial land use from 0.86 and in urban land use from 0.9 has been more. Also, by considering the constant weight of three land uses, Mobarakeh county has the sufficient capability to develop approximately 1100 hectares for each land use in the future. Besides land potential for each land use, their conflicts with each other have been resolved by using the MOAL method, it can be claimed whether in the process of assessing the potential or allocating different land uses, the optimal land allocation is used for allocate conflicting land uses, much better results It will lead to a move towards sustainable development thinking.

one of the most important problems in urban spaces of our country is inadequacy of their spaces in relation to persons with disabilities. The aim of this study is urban spaces planning for supply of disabled needs and devotees in the Kerman District 2.. The method of this research is Descriptive-Analytic and the information is provided through library studies through the observation of the status quo in the range of study and the questionnaire completion. To analyze the data is used SPSS software and GIS software for produce maps and for data analysis, are used the SWOT and AHP models. The results of the AHP model show that The management criterion is ranked first with relative weight of 0.441 and this section has the greatest impact on the planning and adaptation of urban spaces to meet the needs of the disabled and The results of the Single-Sample T test illustrate that Jomhuri Eslami pedestrian pathway and Mather park don’t have acceptable status In terms of statistical society and this areas don’t have desirable level In terms of suitability for the presence of the disabled and Shafa commercial medical center somewhat has acceptable status in terms of statistical society and desirable level in relation to the presence of the disabled too furthermore significance level In physical indicators managerial, economic and social don’t have acceptable status in terms of statistical society and do not have a desirable level of fitness for the presence of the disabled. The results of the SWOT model is in the place IV according to the internal and external matrix of planning situation and suitability of studied urban spaces for supply of disabled needs. Therefore the defensive strategy must has to be used to plan and adapt urban spaces studied to meet the needs of disabled people.
