One of the important goals of urban management is to provide a favorable environment for the work and life of the citizens. While controlling and supervising the skeleton, economic, social and environment structure of the cities, urban management will lead to the sustainable development of the cities adopting long-term strategic policies. Tourism activity can provide urban’ s integrated and sustainable development by creating appropriate opportunities for employment and earning for local residents. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to create a better coordination among the systems typically dealing with the tourism subject. The main and basic question of the present research is that: How much can urban management approach cause the tourism’ s sustainable development goals to be achieved? With regard to this viewpoint, the aim of the present paper is to investigate and identify the effective factors in urban management and its role in coastal tourisms’ sustainable development in the Bushehr City. Therefore, we attempt to study its impacts on the sustainable development of coastal tourism in Bushehr City in different economic, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions by investigating the role of urban management. The research method used in this research is based on a descriptive-analytical approach accompanying with the field method for the completion of questionnaires. Then, the research data are processed and analyzed through SPSS software using one-sample t-test. In reviewing the role of management effects in the development of coastal tourism in Bushehr City, it was determined that the average effects of each of the social, economics and environmental dimensions has been 4. 0218, 3. 1801, 3, 9008 respectively. In this way, the social dimension has had the highest positive impact. As a result, it can be said that: the urban management has had positive impacts on the development of coastal tourism in the Bushehr City. One of its most important functions is to provide the facilities and primary infrastructures on the coast, which has caused the tourists satisfaction. Although urban management in this regard has provided relative satisfaction of tourists, it is suggested that while preventing the non-basic land use change in the coasts towards the continuity and sustainability of the coastal tourism in the social, economic and environmental dimensions of the city, the necessary coordination to institutionalize the tourism interaction with the other existing activities in the city and, most importantly, the interaction of native culture with the host community to be made by urban management.

Prosperity is a wide concept which has been proposed in 2012 by United Nations in relation with balanced and harmonic development in environment accompanied by fairness and justice. A kind of social construction which frames human activities. This concept has been introduced by six aspects with their sub criteria: 1. Productivity or economic growth with the basis of production, making wealth, and employment 2. Quality of life 3. Urban governance and legislation 4. Environmental sustainability 5. Equity and social participation 6. Developing infrastructure with its corresponding sub criteria. In this research, with analytical-descriptive approach the assessment and comparison of eleven Shiraz municipality regions according to urban prosperity indexes has been performed. In this case, with mentioning documentary and library resources, urban prosperity indexes has been analyzed and investigated. Therefore corresponding measures in current conditions of Shiraz would be identified. Afterwards for quantifying and gathering the data needed, from experts’ point of view, profound interviews and questionnaires has been practiced. It is necessary to say that the number of statistic samples initially defined from experts and specialists were 60 samples that finally 30 questionnaires were analyzed. For data analysis and measuring final urban prosperity number in regions, Fuzzy-AHP has been used and for weighing indexes in this model a survey has been done from experts, urban managers and researchers. The results of grading regions from urban prosperity index demonstrate that regions number 1, 6 and 10 has the most prosperity in sequence and region number 7 has the least urban prosperity rate. Also among indexes studied, efficiency with the score (0. 308) and quality of life with the score (0. 214) has the most impacts in the urban prosperity of the analyzed regions.

Cities are complex ecosystems that are affected by social, economic, environmental and cultural factors to achieve sustainable urban development. On the other hand, custom, traditions, norms, values are formed in the context of social relations and self-wise during generations, which leads to some sort of uncontrolled social monitoring and control of the person's socialization behavior, which is considered as "social sustainability" from a special perspective. In this regard, the present study aims to measure social sustainability in Ardabil city. The type of applied research and its method is descriptive and survey, information gathering tool is a questionnaire. The statistical population is all residents of Ardebil. The sample size is based on the Cochran formula of 384 people who were selected by cluster sampling method and finally selected by simple random method. Lisrel software is used to analyze data and information. The findings of the research show that among the indicators of social sustainability in (T) model, participation indices, spatial belonging, environmental factors had the highest level of significance and spatial justice indicators and the least significant indicator of vitality they show. Also, the results of the structural equation model show that according to the modeling indices, it can be argued that the proposed model of researchers has a good fit for goodness. And a good fit between the model presented with the structured model with experimental data. In other words, research indicators have the necessary qualifications for use as a final model of research.

The physical environment of the city and citizens can have mutual effects on each other, The street as one of the most important public spaces in the city can be the place for these effects. The purpose of the present study was to measure the relationship between the physical environment design and negative and positive behaviors in street space. To this end, analyzing and ranking the distribution of behaviors (excitement, esteem and help, hurry, anger and fear) has been carried out on four Behaviors Kind in Imam Street. A questionnaire and a checklist were used for data collection and weighing the indexes through Expert Choice software. In order to rank the behaviors, Topsis software and Friedman statistical model were used, to estimate the difference between behavior, as well as the physical design of ANOVA and Pearson correlation. The results of this study showed that there is a significant relationship between positive and negative behaviors with the physical pattern of behavior setting. The physical layout of the site has increased positive and negative behaviors in special places. This relationship is among the more positive behaviors than negative behaviors, In fact, the environment can strengthen positive behaviors and blossom them before they can eliminate negative behaviors. The overall ranking of all negative and positive behaviors in the whole of Imam Street also indicates that Imam Street is not suitable in terms of behavior in a proper physical plan. The overall result of the research is that the probability of determinism and architectural algebra in emotional behaviors is rejected.

Location identity General concept and the complexity of man's insights is Relative to the environment which there will be in adaptation and use human from the place. In fact، having belonging and creating spatial identity-space، Important concepts in citizens' sense of belonging Relative to urban environments and also the basis for the design of religious and content bases For Urban Landscape Formation In the mind and Objective map of the citizens. present study In dealing with The issue of weakening the human-space linkage Is trying to The Impact of Spatial Identity of the City of Yasuj On Feeling Citizens' dependency، Placed Measure and evaluate Relative to the your live environment. And ultimately to examine the role of spatial identity in shaping the urban landscape among the citizens of Yasuj. The statistical population of the research was all citizens of Yasuj city، of this volume of community، 383 people were selected as samples. Research methodology is descriptive-analytical and field study for analysis of statistics and information using of software AMOS، SPSS and Waspas model. The results of the research show that in the four areas of the city of Yasuj، Citizens residing in District 4، the least fixation and of identity have Relative to city of Yasouj. And citizens living in area 2 with a weight of 0/3729، most fixation and identity have Relative to the city of Yasuj And Areas 3 and 1 of Yasuj City Respectively in the next rank. In fact، citizens of Yasuj city have fixation and a lot of identity (with an average of 3/26) and a sense of high affinity (with an average of 3/73) and The formation of a very large urban landscape (with an average of 4. 0) Relative to their place of residence. Also، between two spatial identity variables and the degree of dependency of the citizens of Yasuj city and urban spatial identity variables and perspective city there is a high correlation with beta 0. 920 and 0. 102%. Also the results of the final model showed that Location identity in sequence with a beta of 0/65، and of 0. 31 Directly Cause Increasing citizens' sense belonging of Relative to Yasuj and The formation of a mental and objective map of their urban landscape.

Physical construction pattern is the simplest way to reach social correlation. Social correlation is the result of social interaction which is qualitatively and quantitatively broader and deeper in social network at neighborhood level. What helps effectively to develop social correlation at neighborhood level, is the physical quality of those places which leads to presence of the residents and social interaction. Urban physical interaction affects how and to what extent these relations are developed. In other words, social organization of urban neighborhoods is a spirit insufflated into the body of the neighborhood. There is no doubt its quality and health depends on the role of physical structure on correlation formation and physical health. Therefore the present study aims to socially investigate Ghasrodasht neighborhood in Shiraz. This research is an analytical-descriptive study done in Ghasrodasht neighborhood, Shiraz with 365Representative participants. Data was analyzed using SPSS software and Pearson Correlation coefficient, and Stepwise Regression. The results show that social correlation components and their relation with physical structure is significant. Also among social unity correlation, participation and sense of belonging, social unity has the most and sense of belonging has the leas effect on social correlation. Based on what was mentioned, neighborhoods in which social occasions have been formed after so many years and due to face to face interaction among the inhabitants, there can be seen high level of trust, security, mutual interaction, correlation and social unity.

Organizational culture is one of the newest concepts in the field of organizational behavior and this component has been discussed and commented much in studies that have been done recently in the various organizations around the world. Results of these studies show that organizational culture influences on productivity in organizations significantly. The aim of this paper is to evaluate and assess organizational culture in Mashhad Urban Railway Line 1 Station’ s Staff. The statistical population is 178 people were selected randomly to complete the questionnaire. Denison standard questionnaire is used in this paper that considered 4 dimensions including consistency, involvement, adaptability and mission and 12 indexes. SPSS and EXCEL software are used in the analysis. One Sample T-Test, One-Way ANOVA Test with Scheffe Post Hoc Test and Paired Sample T-Test also are used. Results show adaptability is most desirable, mission and involvement are undesirable, and consistency is very unpleasant. Also there is a significant difference between the main dimensions of the model in this case, adaptability and consistency have the highest score insignificant difference and there is a significant gap between current situation and the desired situation from the staff’ s view in the main four dimensions of this model, which is the largest gap in organizational consistency.

The existence of public spaces with socialization attribute is an important complementary in the socializing of people. In addition to this socialization of public spaces cause a promotion in the spirit of solidarity, individual growth and creation of collective memories for all citizens without considering sex, race, nationality, age or economic and social level. This research is done with the descriptive-analytical methodology to study socialization measurement of the Yasouj City Beach Park and also the rule of demographic groups in 1396. The information gathering methodologies in presented research are surveying (Survey Distribution) and field observation. Also, socialization evaluating factors of space are extracted based on the PPS institute studies. The results from Cronbach’ s alpha, the survey reliability and KMO test and Bartlet results showed the efficiency of sample size and also the internal and structural justifiability of the survey. The results of field observations and statistical analysis based on the Independent Single Sample Test t. test has cleared out that the studied space generally contains a good and sufficient amount of socialization and has invited various groups and layers of people to attend the social activity. Consequently, the results obtained from t. test tests, independent twin group and ANOVA showed that although most of the users of the space in terms of the various age, sex, marriage, income, academic and professional have a significant and equal rule on the socialization of the beach park but this also has been cleared that women and less-educated people have a less-important effect on the socialization of the park relative to the men and high educated people, respectively. Ultimately, based on the results obtained from the research, suggestions related to space organizing are presented in order to increase its socialization level.

The place attachment could cause transforming the space into the place with the sensory properties and special behavioral for the people. Pay attention to strengthen of the place attachment, especially in the old centers and the historical context of cities, is one of the most important subjects of urban design knowledge. Various investigations in the literature indicate that attention to physical elements in human environment is necessary for the formation and continuation of satisfaction form the place and place attachment. The goal of this article is to extract the physical features in order to form and promote this sense and measure these features in one of the oldest street in Sabzevar city which is called “ Beyhagh” . In the first step, by using theoretical literature, physical factors influencing the place attachment are extracted and classified in the form of norms and measures that the method used in this part of the qualitative type. In the next step, situation assessment the Beyhagh street have been completed using these resulting features with SPSS software. The results studied place show that two features include “ variety and attractiveness” and “ unit physical character” have the most correlation with place attachment and the flexibility feature has the least correlation with this sense

The installation of traffic and safety equipment in roads can play an important role in preventing accidents. Meanwhile, the role of pedestrian footbridge is more significant than other equipment. The lack of proper and optimal site selection of urban facilities, including pedestrian urban footbridge, reduces their use by public and increases accidents. Today, integration of participatory multicriteria decision analysis techniques with the capabilities of GIS provide exclusive tools for urban planners and decision makers. People can contribute to spatial decision making processes by entering their own concerns, attitudes, and preferences in the group decision making process for solving different urban problems. This study aims to solve the problem of optimal location of urban footbridge in Mashhad city by considering the criteria and using multi-criteria decision-making methods in two individuals and group modes. In this study, the individual mode of decision uses a number of criteria (spatial and non-spatial) in order to evaluate alternatives and also implements Order Weighted Average (OWA) operator for assessing and ranking the alternatives presented to decision-maker. In the group mode, Fuzzy majority decision rule approach is employed to integrate individual rankings of alternatives into group rankings. In other words, it integrates the individual solution maps into a single group decision map. In this way, the alternatives were evaluated to select the most suitable location for the construction of urban footbridge in the city of Mashhad. Consequently, according to the decision-makers’ preferences, the main streets of Ahmadabad, Faramarz Abbasi, Palestine and Water organization were ranked for the construction of a footbridge, respectively.

Today، many researchers talking about relying on private vehicle to carry out intra-city trips as one of the main challenges facing the country's urban system. This way of traveling in cities has caused to be reduced the quality of urban environments day by day. And in the end، cities face with a lot of problems، such as increasing living costs، air pollution، increasing accidents، increasing fossil fuel consumption، and، in a word of decline، living conditions degradation and، consequently، a decline in quality of life. The choice of private vehicle as a means of intra-city trips itself is influenced by various factors such as (economic، physical، cultural factors). One of the physical factor of this article is how to locate land use in the transit network that has been investigated in this research. Due to studies in this area، it is possible to estimate the possible effects of land use deployment on the choice of means of citizens' travel. It will be clear that how to distribute the land use، if necessary، to reduce the car dependency and promote green travel practices such as walking، cycling and using of public transport. Therefore، the district Seven of Qom metropolis has been studied. The research process is descriptive-analytic، and library studies have been carried out using snippets and field studies using traffic impressions. Data analysis was done by using the GIS geographical system software and the depth map. The findings of the research showed a significant correlation between spatial alignment indicators، the degree of user focus and the speed of car-based trips. The findings of the research showed a significant correlation between spatial syntax indicators، the degree of land use focus and the frequency of car-based trips. Accordingly، it is necessary during the studies of the Comprehensive Transport and Traffic Master Plan and the Comprehensive Plan as the main documents of the urban development management to pay special attention to explaining the impact of the factors related to land use on the selection of the means of travel from the point of view of space syntax.

The development of cities has been the basis for the development of many human and social behaviors and the re-production of citizenship behavioral complexities, and the convergent and constructive social behaviors set the foundation for the development and development of social capital of cities. One of the most important development approaches is to pay attention to social capital and strengthen its indices in the development of the country. Therefore, citizens' views on social capital seem to be important. The present study is a survey which has a population of over 18 years old in Yasuj city (about 60, 000 people). Using Cochran's alpha formula, the sample size was estimated to be 400. To solve some social capital issues in six areas, the questionnaire was as follows: Randomized questionnaires were used to answer the questionnaire. To verify the validity of the instrument, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, with emphasis on internal correlation, was used. The findings of this research show that, as we move toward private and non-governmental social groups, social capital and sense of trust and security from the citizen's point of view were more than acceptable, with 42. 3% of the respondents having a high degree of trust in their relatives and There are quite a lot of them, and 41% have quite a lot of trust in their friends and neighbors and 91. 4% of their families, but social capital is not acceptable in the government's debate, because people have less confidence in them. This has even become evident in the physical scale, with the majority of respondents, 44. 3% had a high level of family security, 39. 7% of them were somewhat safe areas of residence and 40. 7% lowered the security of the city of Yasouj And they know very little.

Today, using comprehensive crisis management plans can be applied to the extent of the severity and extent of damages and incidents caused by hazards through the use of effective measures, along with low-cost and multi-purpose, pre-crisis, preparedness and multi-purpose applications. One of the most important of these measures is the use of passive defense principles as a strategy to reduce risk against various hazards and increase post-risk efficiency, which should be considered at different levels of planning, urban planning and architecture. The main objective of this study is the pathology of one of the most important and critical uses of cities during times of crisis, namely the health center and hospitals, through the evaluation and classification of the infrastructure of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Qom. The research method is descriptive-analytical and has been gathered from field observation and interviewing technology. So that the classification of the infrastructure based on the threats and asset threat matrix will be accepted in that case. The research results indicate that the most frequent terrorist attacks are car bombings after a rocket attack that has the most serious damage to the hospital. Considering the identification of assets with the importance of infrastructure and the location of each of them in the building floors and determining the basic threat of each asset and prioritization of the building floors, these research findings show that the underground floor, which includes storage spaces, engine room, water supply, Air-conditioning and food, etc.,
