Today, moving towards smart cities is not only a reality, but a necessity in order to solve the current problems of urbanization, including in the city of Ahvaz, which is full of problems. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the realization of the smart city from the perspective of the macro components of such cities. This article is considered among applied-developmental researches. It is question-oriented and it has been done in a document-library and survey form; in an exploratory way using the exploratory factor analysis method, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk tests; And a sample t-tech test and Friedman's rating test have been done in response to the research questions. In order to collect descriptive data, library and documentary studies were used, and survey method and questionnaire tool were used to collect analytical data. The statistical community of the research included academic experts. The sampling method was a two-stage cluster. ; Finally, 142 samples were selected. The final content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the opinion of the professors, after some corrections, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.878 for the entire questionnaire showed the desirability and acceptability of the reliability of the questionnaire. For the quantitative content validity of the questionnaires, 10 experts, familiar with Ahvaz metropolis, and the relative coefficient of content validity (CVR) method were used. Kendall's W test (Kendall's correlation coefficient) was used to measure the credibility of the questionnaires and how reliable it is. Based on the findings of the research, the situation of the metropolis of Ahvaz is not suitable in terms of the macro components of the formation of smart cities in the current situation.

Today, urban resilience in the field of worn-out textures has become a major issue in the field of spatial and urban decision-making. Therefore, urban managers and policy makers have devoted a significant part of their resources and facilities in the field of document preparation and operational processes to the realization and reduction of its effectiveness in the face of possible urban crises. The aim of this study was to analyze the dimensions of social and physical resilience in District 7 of Tehran Municipality. The research method is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. One-sample t-test, Pearson correlation and regression coefficient in SPSS and Arc GIS software were used to analyze the data. The results of the data in the present study showed that the physical dimension is in the first rank (2.71) and the social dimension is in the second rank (2.53). In the end, it can be concluded that urban resilience in District 7 of Tehran Municipality is unstable and weak due to the dimensions of physical and social resilience. Therefore, this region has low physical and social resilience against natural disasters and hazards.

The outbreak of Corona has had a great impact on the development of tourism. Many of these effects have continued in the Post-covid period, which has led to the stagnation of the tourism industry. The continuation of this trend is a serious warning to all governments. In this regard, great importance should be given to the general health of society as an important variable in economic growth and maintaining and developing the tourism industry of a country. Based on this, knowing the factors affecting the development of tourism in the Post-covid period can be effective in managing the challenges and advancing it, which was investigated in this research as a case study in the city of Shiraz. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population of the research was selected from the experts and specialists of the health tourism industry in Shiraz.  100 experts were selected as the sample size and were questioned randomly. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through the elite society and reliability through Cronbach's alpha with a coefficient of 0.81. The result of the statistical test showed that the social, economic, environmental, infrastructural and managerial factors were significant at a level of less than 0.05. Examining the average difference also confirmed that these factors have a positive impact on the development of Post-covid tourism. The result of the factor analysis also confirmed that contextual and causal factors are effective in the development of Post-covid tourism, and the highest weight or factor load is related to the innovation of urban managers with a weight of 0.994, and the strengthening of training courses for tourism development with a weight of 975. 0.0 and then strengthening group tours with 0.974.  Also, Pearson's correlation analysis shows that there is a relationship at a level of less than 0.05 between the investigated factors and Post-covid tourism development.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted the normal lives of citizens and the provision of services in cities around the world, and despite the guidelines and programs that cities have for emergencies; the widespread outbreak of the disease has left cities with a lack of capability and resources to deal with it. Hence, the prevalence of COVID-19 led to more emphasis on the role and importance of smart cities in dealing with and preventing crises. Because it combines the capabilities of the real and virtual world to solve urban problems. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify smart city indicators for reducing the COVID-19 risk. The present study is a descriptive-correlational and applied study that has been conducted using exploratory factor analysis with principal component analysis. The statistical population of this study is citizens living in the new town of Baharestan. Using available sampling method, 382 people were selected as sample members. The main tool for collecting information was a questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the obtained data. Findings from exploratory factor analysis led to the identification of three factors: smart services, smart health care and smart mobility. smart cities with the above three factors, have the ability to reduce the risk of corona and can play an important role in the optimal control and management of the situation in the event of such crises. Building smarter cities can support significantly better outbreaks and are crucial to saving lives. Evidence suggests that the risk of COVID-19 can be reduced with the help of smart city solutions. The need for smart cities is essential for the epidemic. COVID-19 epidemic has increased the demand for smart city and justified its existence.
