In recent decades, improving the quality of settlements through transforming significant villages into cities was identified as one of the development policies designed to enhance residents' access to urban amenities, facilities, and services. Therefore, this study's purpose is to determine how turning rural areas into urban cities affects locals' quality of life and compare the current situation of these settlements in the two towns of Kopon and Masiri in the Fars province.

The present study is a descriptive-analytical type of applied research. The residents of the studied cities represent the research's statistical population, which was determined using the Cochran formula with a sample of 380 people. The data were analyzed using SPSS software.

The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test's findings indicate that the satisfaction level with the quality of life elements in the two cities differs in the two periods preceding and following the development. Based on the results of the Mann-Whitney U test, the average level of satisfaction of quality of life before development is more desirable in the city of Masiri. While all aspects of the city of Kopon, after improvement, have more favorable conditions. The W-Kendall ranking test shows that satisfaction with the aspects of quality of life in the two cities (separately) differs between the two periods. Moreover, based on the simple linear regression test, there is a strong relationship between the quality of life and hope for the future in both settlements.

In general, the results of the study show that the policy of promoting settlements and the measures taken have been successful in Kopon in contrast to Masiri.

Nowadays, due to the increasing growth of urbanization, especially in developing countries, the innovation of urban prosperity is one of the key human development issues facing the world. Prosperity is a broad concept that is related to balanced and harmonious development in an environment with fairness and justice.

This research has practical-developmental goals and its nature and method is analytical-exploratory. In the theoretical part of this research, the required data and information have been collected using the library method, and in the field part, the required data has been obtained using a questionnaire based on the Delphi technique. In this research, our statistical population includes specialists and experts of Yazd city, and 30 people were selected as a sample from the statistical population by using the targeted non-probability sampling method. Then, using the Delphi method and completing the questionnaire by experts, 43 primary variables were identified. In the next step, the matrix of cross effects was designed to measure the influence of the variables on each other and was provided to the experts for scoring. The results were analyzed using the structural analysis technique and MICMAC software, and finally, from a total of 43 primary influencing variables, 10 factors were identified as the key driving factors affecting the urban prosperity of Yazd.

:Findings shows that the most influence among the five dimensions is related to 1- Justice and non-discrimination with 28.93%, 2- Quality of life 21.23%, 3- 18.71%.Also, the most dependent among the five dimensions is related to 1- Justice and non-discrimination with 29.24%, 2- quality of life 23.58%, 3- productivity17.40%.

The Conclusion show that among the key drivers affecting the future prosperity of the city of Yazd are the variables, the area of worn-out fabric (372), access to water resources (372), youth unemployment (352), poverty rate (348), Participation of people in government (338), average income (331), the percentage of marginalized households (331), the percentage of women's employment (321), and the ratio of employment to population (310), Savings rate (307) have had the most impact. The conclusion shows that the urban development system in Yazd city is unstable and the lack of influencing variables threatens the stability of the system.

A neighborhood is a social-spatial concept. neighborhood management methods include the three dimensions of physical quality, social arrangement, and governance manners. Concerning the third dimension, recent decades have witnessed a shift from centralized towards decentralization processes and network society.

The present study had a fundamental goal and used an explorative-explanatory approach. This study used a systematic and structured view to review the theoretical literature on neighborhood management and related concepts. Using, the MICMAC software, the study analyzed the extent to which factors affected and were affected by each other. In the end, driving factors were extracted. For this, 61 factors in five categories of network structure, network society policies, urban governance, governance capacity, and social capital were identified, and provided to 15 experts in the form of a 61*61 matrix, using questionnaires, and via a purposive sampling method.

Results indicated that 19 driving factors contributed to investigating the neighborhood management of the urban governance of the city of Tabriz, out of which the factor “revision of the laws and urban development plans” was more important, while the factors “active adaptation to the environment”, “the non-exclusive right of special groups”, “the content of laws enacted”, “the enjoyment of the open urban culture”, “focus on the “solidarity between people to produce knowledge” took the next ranks.

The results were found to be used as a framework to investigate the neighborhood management position in urban governance. In this connection, urban development plans and rules, and their revision contributed to this.

Psychological ownership plays a role in destination marketing and branding activities and has led to an increase in the attractiveness of the destination. The purpose of this article is identifying the effective factors on psychological ownership of tourists towards tourist destinations.

A mixed method has been used in this research. In the first stage, the effective factors on the psychological ownership of tourists towards the tourist destination were identified through in-depth interviews with experts (including university professors and managers and experts in the tourism industry). The qualitative sampling method was purposive and snowballs. Interviews were conducted with 10 experts. Theme analysis method was used to analyze the data. Then, a quantitative survey was conducted using a questionnaire among 384 tourists from major tourist cities in Iran (including Yazd, Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad and Shiraz). Quantitative sampling method due to the unlimitedness of the statistical population, sampling was available. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used to investigate the validity of the model.

The findings showed that the effective factors on the psychological ownership of tourists include destination image, socio-cultural, environmental, human, economic, managerial, contextual, physical factor, marketing and attraction. The validity of the conceptual model was confirmed, based on the results of the quantitative part.

In this research, effective factors on psychological ownership of tourists' toward the tourist destination have been identified. These findings will have many theoretical and practical applications for policy makers and planners in the field of tourism.

Nowadays, provision of vitality, happiness, social vitality and urban Liveliness has become one of the main concerns of urban management systems, especially in developed countries. Ensuring urban Liveliness as a legitimate goal is seen at the top of many official urban planning documents, which itself arises from the importance of the Liveliness and Vitality of citizens of the city of Tawaman as a goal and a means. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to compare the urban Liveliness and Vitality of citizens of the citizens between the new and old neighborhoods (the selected neighborhoods of the district one includes: Zhanbazan and Camp and Danesh neighborhoods and the selected neighborhoods of the district foor including: Pahlavani, Muradqoli, Karimabad neighborhoods) of the city. is an ascetic.

The research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. The statistical population of the research is 212717 citizens of the selected localities of districts one and four of Zahedan city, and using the Cochran formula, the sample size was calculated as 383 persons. In order to collect data, sampling was done in a multi-stage cluster method, where the samples were selected in a simple random manner within the selected clusters. Independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and Spearman's correlation were used for analysis, and ArcGIS was used to draw maps. A five-level Likert scale was used to measure each of the variables in the questionnaire.

Based on the obtained results, the independent t-test for vitality indicators shows that the Vitality of citizens index in the selected localities of district one has an average of 3.05 and in the selected localities of district four with an average of 2.72, the economic vitality index in the selected localities of district one is 3.11 and in the district Four is 2.78, the physical vitality index in the selected localities of district one is 3.12 and district four is 2.28, the environmental vitality index is 2.85 in selected localities of district one and 2.31 in district four. In the indicators of Vitality of citizens, the index of emotional vitality in selected neighborhoods of district one with an average of 2.53 and in district four of 3.49, the index of cognitive vitality in selected neighborhoods of district one with an average of 2.63 and in district four of 3.0, the index of Vitality of citizens in selected neighborhoods of district one is 2.56 and in district four was 3.22.

The results of this research are such that there is a significant difference among the selected localities of districts one and four of Zahedan city in terms of indicators of urban vitality and vitality of citizens. In this way, the indicators of vitality in the neighborhoods of region one has a better situation compared to the neighborhoods of region four, but on the contrary, the indicators of vitality in the neighborhoods of region four have a better situation than those of region one.

The urban body consists of buildings, streets, equipment, facilities, road network and city furniture, which are considered as the main components of the city. The quality of the characteristics of the city's body has an effect on the lives of the residents. Just as the shape and evolution of cities over time has caused demographic and economic changes and urban development measures, and these changes have created certain problems and issues in cities, and one of the important issues of cities is the culture of citizens. In this regard, the present study is a comparative study of the impact of the urban body on the culture of citizenship in the cities of Kashan and Yasouj.

Descriptive-analytical research method and information was collected using questionnaire tool. The sample size was 384 questionnaires calculated by Cochran's formula and according to the population of the statistical population, 266 people were distributed for Kashan city and 118 people for Yasuj city. SPSS and AMOS software were used for data analysis and structural equation modeling.

The findings show that among the indicators of the urban body (furniture, roads and readability of the city) in Kashan city with a weight of 0.93 and the urban transportation factor in Yasuj city with a weight of 0.81 and among the indicators of citizenship culture, it is a joint factor. Social responsibility in Kashan city with a weight of 0.81 and in Yasuj city with a weight of 0.79 have the highest factor loads. Also, the coefficient of influence of urban body on citizen culture was 0.33 in Kashan city and 0.21 in Yasuj city.

The results of the research explain the significant relationship between the indicators of the urban body and the dimensions of citizenship culture in the cities of Kashan and Yasouj. Therefore, after a more detailed analysis, it was determined that among the indicators of the urban body, respectively, the factor (furniture, roads, and readability of the city) and the factor of urban transportation are more important than other indicators in the opinion of the people of Kashan and Yasouj cities, and the overall estimation of the indicators of citizenship culture It showed that the two cities of Kashan and Yasouj need more strengthening in terms of the tendency to follow the law and environmental behavior.

This area of the city is critical because its structure is an indispensable system, consisting of several units, and of all the various elements, which make their inconsistency an impression on the whole system and the whole of a city's structure. The survey of inequality and its funds is located in different geographical borders in recent years of the work of Harriet and politicians. The existence of inequality and various dimensions has not been judged by the topography of an important development. The aim of this inquiry into alien inequality or other interpretation of the distribution of space is to maintain an economic, social, and domestic involvement.

The research method is descriptive-analytical and practical in terms of purpose. After theoretical investigations of population and housing census data for three consecutive periods (1385, 1390, 1395) and converting them into per capita and different ratios into indexes, to investigate the inequality situation, Also, the recognition of the spatial pattern of the expansion of inequality for the three extracted periods of the research implementation process based on these indicators and spatial statistics models, Spatial Statistics tools, Hot Spot Analysis and Moran's I spatial autocorrelation have been used in Arc/GIS software.

According to the numerical output, Moran's index is equal to 0.071892, 0.144981, 0.633505 for the years 1385, 1390, 1395, respectively, and since its value is positive and tends to one, and according to If the p-value is zero and the calculated Z value (its absolute value) is large, then it is within the confidence limit, and as a result, the data have spatial autocorrelation. Therefore, the distribution pattern of inequality is a cluster.

In general, the result shows that the situation arises from a class distance, a duality in the city, and that the difference between the sexes in the time of the observation, and that it is necessary to keep a town management for themselves, at least of the necessary.

The main purpose of this study is an analysis of the prioritization of indicators of a child-friendly city in the five regions of Urmia to review strategies for improving the situation of each region by examining the indicators of a child-friendly city and ranking the regions of this city.

The research method of the present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. The statistical population of this study is the residents of 5 regions of Urmia. To determine the sample size, Cochran's formula was used. The sample size was 384, which was randomly distributed in the range. The criteria studied in this study include physical, access, socio-cultural and environmental criteria. Data analysis has been done quantitatively and qualitatively.

Many of the world's prestigious scientific researches that have been conducted in the field of housing planning show that housing provision and related policies in developing countries, especially for low-income urban groups, have become one of the most important urban challenges and have numerous economic consequences. It has also had its negative social and political consequences. The increasing growth of published researches and articles in this field makes a comprehensive and systematic review of studies in this field necessary, transparency and justice.

In this regard, the aim of this article is to portray the prevailing situation in the study of the field of housing planning and policy through descriptive and comparative analysis of English articles published in the period from 2000 to 2022 in this field, including international and Iranian authors who adapt it portrays world studies and Iran. For this purpose, first, frequently used keywords related to housing planning were searched in Web of Science and Science Direct databases and retrieved as research data. The analysis of these articles was done using scientometric methods as well as micro and macro indicators of social network analysis and using VOSviewer software.

In this research, while introducing authors and universities that had a relatively high degree of centrality, it was found that the most emphasis of these articles was on themes such as Poverty, Facility, Price, Income, Market, Housing Affordability, Quantity and Quality. In Iran, in addition to these 10 fields, researchers have also been widely active in other fields such as physical resilience, natural resilience, housing policy, etc.

In addition to helping to better understand the specialized literature of housing planning, the finding of this research help to identify the existing research gaps in Iraninan and World studies in this field and can also open the way for the future study and research paths of researches in this field.

Today, due to rapid population growth, increased activities, and the abundance of vehicles, ensuring the peace and security of citizens has become a difficult, time-consuming, and costly task. Security is a complex issue with social, economic, and cultural dimensions, and it is considered one of the main components of quality in urban spaces. Furthermore, the physical components should not be overlooked, as they play a significant role in this matter.

This study aims to analyze the physical and functional factors that influence the potential for theft in the Baharan neighborhood of Mashhad. The research method used is applied, quantitative, and descriptive-analytical. GIS and SPSS software were employed to analyze the data. The study utilized the insights of 11 experts to identify the physical and functional factors affecting the potential for crime. This was done through library studies and the use of the Delphi questionnaire.

The results indicate that there are 9 factors that have an impact on the occurrence of crime: lighting, visual access, public transportation, land use, vegetation, physical form, access (passages), density and compactness of the area, and urban block size.

Considering the methodology of the nine-component analysis, hotspots with a high potential for crime have been identified at the neighborhood level in Baharan. Using spatial analysis, the components of lighting (with an average rank of 7.13), visual access (6.45), public transportation (5.22), and land use (5.04) were found to have the greatest impact on the potential for crime in this area. Based on this, Janbaz, Sajedi, and Tous Streets have been identified as vulnerable areas in terms of theft occurrence. Proposed measures to reduce crime include increasing pedestrian pathway lighting, activating large-scale vacant lots, controlling motorcycle access, and implementing suitable tree pruning for improved surveillance of the neighborhood.

Security is one of the basic social components and women as human capitals of any society have a role in advancing the excellence and goals of the society. The results of the present study aimed to explain the factors affecting women's sense of security in the urban environment.

The current research is fundamental-applicative in terms of its objective and according to the investigated components, the dominant approach is descriptive-analytical, and in terms of the method and nature of this research, it is quantitative with emphasis on field data. The statistical population of this research is university professors and women over 15 years old in Gorgan city, which was determined by Cochran's formula of 200 samples, and finally this sample size was selected through simple systematic sampling. Cronbach's alpha of the questionnaire was 0.87. 7 indicators of physical, social, environmental, urban furniture, access, behavioral and supervision in the form of 34 items and SPSS21 and LISREL software were used for data analysis..

The analysis of the obtained information showed that the social factor with an effect coefficient of 0.941 is the most important factor in women's sense of security. The behavioral factor with an effect coefficient of 0.932 is the second group, and after that urban furniture is the third group with an effect coefficient of 0.931. The reason for this is the importance of social issues in the livability of life in the city of Gorgan and the diversity of ethnic groups in this city.

Based on the estimates of the research model, the highest factor loading among the indicators of the physical factor is the separation of public and private spaces (factor loading 0.73), among the indicators of the social factor, it is the item of disregard for the rights of others on the part ofOther citizens (factor loading 0.77), among the indicators of the environmental factor, the presence of noise pollution (factor loading 0.87), among the indicators of the urban furniture factor, the information booths and help in emergency situations (factor loading 0.79).

Cities, as complex social, geographical, and economic phenomena, also represent a significant spatial phenomenon. In fact, a city is a spatial unit where politics and power are closely intertwined, and cities require policies for their development. The urban living environment necessitates extensive policymaking and development interventions.

This research is of an applied development nature, utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach. Data for this study were collected from two sources: library resources and land use maps of Kerman city. These data were analyzed by transferring them to the ArcGIS software environment. To investigate and comprehend the level of dispersion, clustering, and expansion of Kerman city, as well as to understand its physical development pattern, various spatial statistical analysis methods were employed.

The findings indicate that the spatial distribution pattern of Kerman city is clustered, with a relatively low level of spatial clustering intensity. The city of Kerman highlights concentration in specific areas within the city, and it is not uniformly distributed across the city.

The findings suggest that the development of Kerman city has been predominantly horizontal, with a continuous and dense development pattern in the city center. Results indicate that as we move from the city center towards the periphery, the spatial distribution pattern becomes more scattered. Development has also taken place beyond the old city walls and between the two northern and southern belts. Furthermore, some villages are practically considered urban areas due to their proximity to the city and are within the legal city limits, such as Taherabad in the west and Sarasiyab in the east of the city. These settlements exhibit a semi-urban and semi-rural character both in terms of spatial structure and the employment status of their residents.

Loyalty of a tourist to a specific destination is a key issue in urban tourism management. A high level of loyalty in a destination can have positive consequences for the development of tourism in that region. One of the important topics in this field is the strategic measurement and analysis of the level of tourism loyalty in different dimensions and components and providing strategies to improve it. In the meantime, measuring the goals, capabilities of cities, and the opportunities and challenges ahead in the field of tourism loyalty and knowing the competitors of the destination are taken into account for the strategic analysis of tourism loyalty. As one of the urban tourism destinations of Iran, the city of Yazd attracts a large number of domestic and foreign tourists every year with its many tourist spaces and products. the main goal of the research is to provide strategies for the development of the loyalty level of Yazd city through the recognition and evaluation of the objectives, capabilities, opportunities, challenges and competitors of the city's tourism and evaluating its strategic suitability.

the current research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive of the survey type based on its nature and method. The required data is prepared based on the library and field method. The statistical sample of the research was 30 people from the group of experts, including officials and managers of tourism, researchers and researchers, owners of tourism businesses, and a number of residents with a history of the city, which due to the limited statistical population, the whole number method was used to get samples. became. For the strategic analysis of the research, Meta-SWOT analytical model, which is an advanced SWOT model, has been used.

The results showed that the most important resources and capabilities in order to improve the level of tourism loyalty in the city of Yazd include the positive effects of the globalization of the city of Yazd on improving the character of the city and its historical attractions, changing the positive mentality of tourists towards the city, understanding its scientific and historical value. And to arouse their feelings, to raise the quality of services, relative participation of citizens in social and tourism programs, acceptable tourism security and urban infrastructure and services, agency services and health tourism ConclusionThe result of the strategic analysis shows the greater homogeneity of Yazd's tourism capabilities and external factors and goals in terms of strategic fit, and the aforementioned capabilities play an important role in improving the level of loyalty at a medium level, and based on this, solutions have been presented to improve it.

Today, urban development following the classical model of urban development has led to unstable conditions in cities and urban neighborhoods. Therefore, in recent years, the neo-urbanism movement has been formed as a new approach to urban design and planning in criticism of contemporary urban development, which has a scattered, non-human and machine-like pattern.

The main purpose of this research was to identify implementation priorities in order to realize the model of neo-urbanism in the prominent neighborhoods of Isfahan city (Sanbalistan, Jolfa, Khane Isfahan and Sepahan Shahr). Therefore, the method of this descriptive-analytical research was chosen. At first, a list of primary factors that play a role in urbanism were identified as research variables. In the next step, using the mutual effects analysis method and Micmac software, the degree of influence of primary factors on each other was evaluated in the form of experts' questionnaire. Finally, by using the two-dimensional analysis method and combining the impact scores and average scores, implementation priorities were determined.

The findings of the research showed that in Sanbalistan neighborhood, eleven agents, Jolfa neighborhood, eleven agents, Khaneh Isfahan neighborhood, eight agents, and finally, in Sepahan Shahr neighborhood, twelve agents have executive priority to realize the new urbanism model. Among the important factors and indicators of new urbanism in the neighborhoods, we can mention suitable urban furniture at the neighborhood level, a sense of vitality and vitality in the neighborhood, regular welfare programs for the well-being and vitality of the residents, security and safety at night in some remote places, quality Special pedestrian routes are indicated.

Today, it is inevitable to rely on new patterns of urban planning in the planning and development of urban neighborhoods. The issue that is necessary for managers and urban planners is that each neighborhood has different characteristics and indicators and factors should be localized in each neighborhood and studied specifically. However, based on the results of the research, five factors include suitable urban furniture at the neighborhood level, a sense of vitality and vitality in the neighborhood, regular welfare programs for the well-being and vitality of the residents, security and safety at night in some remote places, the quality of special routes for pedestrians. Walking is a common priority among all the studied neighborhoods.
