This study is based on this question that what relationships are between the government policies and the relations among tribes. In this regard, the effect of government policies and relations among tribes studied. This is a field study that contains questionnaire, interview and gathering university professors, and experts' ideas. Statistical group chosen and consists of60 persons (university professor, national and local experts and also local elites). Using spss software, the results are analyzed. The result of analyzing the parameters and different sources is that the government policies cause friendly and adversary relations among tribes. This result that government policies cause sceptical relations between baluch and sistani tribes.

Today site selection for city development in future is an important issue, which has attracted the attention of urban planners. Determining the appropriate lands for potential growth has become a great concern of researchers and local urban authorities due to the rapid land use change as well as or unplanned physical growth of the cities in the recent years. The region favors a suitable climate and high fertility agricultural lands; so the main aim of this study is to present an efficient model for determining appropriate lands for urban development. The methodology of the research is based on an integration of hierarchical analysis and multi-criteria decision making in GIS. So that, in integrating the thematic maps, the weighted linear combination (WLC) was used, which is one of the multi-criteria investigating strategies based on AHP. The results of the research revealed that the area has several limitations for development. So it seems that to mitigate and manage the negative impacts of the urban expansion, finding appropriate direction for future development can help local authorities to control land development. In general, from the total area of Babolsar Township, about 58.05% showed a high and very high compatibility for physical expansion, which are mainly located in the south and the southeast of the township. Also 12.33% of the area had a moderate compatibility and 29.62 % had low and very low compatibility for physical development.

Rural development is an important concept in national development, because many crowds of people of Iran live in villages. There are relationships between villages and cities. the village are place of life and the center of agronomy activities. They have important role in the economic-social situation of every country. The villages have many problems; for example, an illiterate farmers, low income, non mechanization, etc. Rural development is important component in the view of national and regional experts. For Rural development, it is an essential that the villages develop; therefore, it is important that experts focus on their development. The aim of this paper is studying and exploring the problems of agriculture and their effects on immigrations. For data collection, questionnaires were distributed among 311 people. For the first step, we designed a conceptual model. This motel shows relationship among the variables. Documentary and descriptive methods. Were used for data analysis For studying of relationship between agricultural section and income, we used T test, and results showed that there is a relationship between non rural industry and income. c2 Was used for studying the relationship between income and immigration, and the results showed that income has a significant relationship with immigration to city.

For reducing the impacts of earthquake disaster and attaining sustainable society, it is necessary to pay attention to promoting preparedness seriously in the cities exposed to earthquake, such as Shiraz. So, the research questions were offered such as: "Is there a significant preparedness difference between Shiraz city's neighborhoods? And is there a significant correlation between the neighborhoods' preparedness and their socio-economic situation?" So, based on the theoretical bases and previous studies, the operational definition of preparedness concept was offered in four dimensions, 14 indexes and 87 indicators, and combined by the AHP and SAW methods. The data were gathered by the households, experts and field questionnaires. For testing the hypotheses, causal-comparative and correlation methods were used. Sample size was calculated by Cochran's method (322 households). Sampling was done by cluster and random methods. The data were analyzed by One-way ANOV A and Tukey-tests for the first hypothese; and correlations method fore the second hypothese. The results showed that the difference of operational and physical dimensions of preparedness between the households of neighbors is significant based on the one way ANOV A. General preparedness is also significantly different at 99% of confidence. The results of correlation test showed that general preparedness has significant relation with literacy, income, occupation and socio-economic status at 99% of confidence. According to the findings, preparedness at society scale has socio-economical aspects. So, we must pay attention to this point seriously.

Neotectonics activities have brought about instability in several landforms, especially fluvial ones in Iran. Garmsar alluvial fan is one of the areas located in a seismic hazard area. This research attempts to determine and analyse the seismic hazards zones in Garmsar alluvial fan using the seismic data, geologic and topography maps, and buffering method. The equations proposed by Zare, Selmmons, Mohajer-Ashjai, Melville, and Smith were used to determine the fault's seismic potential around the Garmasar alluvial fan. Berberians method was used for the spatial analysis of fault buffering. The results indicated that Garmsar & Sorkhkalot and Koh Lalehzare & Paien Ghaleh faults have the highest and lowest seismicity potential in the study area, respectively. About 99% of the study region population settled on alluvial fans is subjected to very highly potential degrees of relative risk. About 40.26% of the population is living in rural areas while the rest (59.74%) has been settled in Garmsar city. Based on the study results, it is snggested that buffering zones have to be taken into consideration in land use planning programs, retrofitting, housing insurance, and human establishments.

Detection of land cover changes plays a major role in environmental planning regarding the sustainable development purposes. Analyzing multi-temporal satellite imagery is now commonly regarded as an efficient method for extraction of these changes. In this way, post classification comparison is known as a popular and well-established method. However, tills technique has not an adequate precision in the presence of mixed pixels due to using hard classifiers in its structure. So, a remarkable uncertainty exists in the resultant change matrix. In tills paper, different methods of change detection are categorized. Then, a change detection method is proposed based on the fractional maps produced through soft classification process of satellite imagery. Tills novel approach provides the possibility of producing the change matrix with sub-pixel accuracy. Implementing tills method on the multi-temporal images of the study area, the results are compared with those obtained from the traditional post classification comparison method. As a key result of the research, it is demonstrated that the post classification comparison leads to an underestimate of the change area with respect to the proposed method (in average 9.2 percent). Likewise, difference between the results of two methods is so obvious for inhomogeneous land covers. Overlay, the proposed method is produced the change matrix more accurate than traditional ones and could be utilized in environmental planning and management.

The purpose of this research is measure the sustainability of the tourism industry in Ahvaz city. This purpose so determined the identifying priority of the use of tourism indicators in Ahvaz city, the effects of direct and indirect indicators of sustainable tourism in Ahvaz city and forecasting sustain in the tourism industry in Ahvaz city by the elected index has been studied. In this regard, the indicators of sustainable tourism in six dimensions of economic, social, cultural, political, technological and ecological variables in 30 categories and from the perspective of Ahvaz citizens has been analyzed. Therefore, the purpose of the present research is an application study of the methodology to "descriptive - analytical"; with survey method by questionnaire way was used. The study samples of 384 residents are in Ahwaz that the multi-stage cluster sampling and were randomly selected and interviewed. For data analysis, appropriate to the research objectives of the test statistic T, regression analysis and discriminant model was used the format of SPSS software. First results indicate that the views of citizens regarding the differences in the technological indicators of the low average to average baseline -0.06002 in T test the poor conditions and interact with the highest priority to infrastructure for improving it. Secondly, according to the results of the regression model between selected indicators and the level of significance obtained Economic, social, cultural and technological sustainability of the tourism industry have a direct relationship Thirdly, the stability conditions are expected in the field of tourism research indices in detection analysis shows that Cultural indicators of the expected size 418/0 stable, better able to predict the field tourism industry in the city of Ahwaz.
