Human health as a fundamental right and a valuable capital and asset is important to all levels and classes of society. Today, attitudes toward health and non - medicinal health determinants such as psychological, social, factors have widened and special attention has been paid to them. Attention to different aspects of health promotion has an important role in the sustainability of rural areas. This study aims to assess the level of rural health and individual factors (gender, age, education, Family size, marital status, income and occupational status) and is affecting it, on Maybod County located in Yazd province. Methods in this study, from purpose is applied and the method is Descriptive – analytical and correlation, Much of the data based on field studies and sampling (Cochran) to the six villages and 177 households in the sample is collected Using ANOVA tests, Fi Voices Kramer test to compare independent samples and Pearson correlation analysis was carried out. Our findings showed that the average level of health among villagers equals 3.11 and the average economic, social, environmental and biomedical health equals 2.3, 3.15, 3.75 and 3.25 respectively and nearly 70% of the villagers have an average health level. Based on research findings, Individual characteristics that affect the health level of villagers, the only family size and marital status had no significant relationship with health, but between gender, age, education, income and occupational status, there was a significant correlation by the levels of rural health. The spatial distribution of health in the villages studied, the average health level of at least 14.3 at Village Bafroueed up to 66.3 at Bideh village varied.

Urbanization and civilization are two valuable achievements of human being during his last history. However, some parts of cities lose their normal functions as they get older and older. Worn out textures can be found in mostly all cities around the world. Apart from physical and structural problems, these textures are bearing many socio-cultural shortcomings and in reality cannot be considered as a live part of the economic circulation of the cities anymore. EslamAbadGharb having a 92000 population with 57.8 hectares worn out area is no exception. 36458 people live in worn out textures of EslamAbadGharb. The present paper tries to find answers for questions such as: how the spatial distribution of the worn out textures are, and if there are any relations between such textures and socio-economic, cultural and management structures of the city. To do so, we have selected 160 households out of 8541 who reside in the area using random sampling and Cochran method. To validate our questionnaire we have applied Chranbakh Alfa method and to test the hypotheses T-Test and Pearson methods are applied. Using the mentioned statistical methods we have tested relations between worn out textures (as dependent variable) and socio-economic, cultural and management structures (as independent variables). For statistical testes and creating geo-database and digital layers SPSS and ArcGIS software are applied respectively. Findings of the present study indicate that spatial pattern of the worn out texture is mostly coincident with the central parts of city in which building are older and population density is higher than elsewhere. Also, based on Pearson method the relations between dependent and independent variables were verified with reliable scores.

Land subsidence is considered as one of the geomorphic hazards which has a smooth and inward movement and in long term manifests its destructive effects. Occurrence of such a hazard can be an agent for formation and intensification of the vulnerability of human activity centres which are located on natural hazardous beds. In such situations, having a sufficient knowledge of the degree and level of vulnerability can provide sufficient time for planning and preparing a situation to alleviate risks and consequently easing crisis. For the measurement of the level of the risk of land subsidence in No.18 urban residence area of Tehran, degree of land subsidence was analysed using satellite data and InSAR technics. The method being used to conduct this research is thorough-descriptive-analytical. For this to be achieved, different required data sources as well as thorough data was provided and after being digitised and processed was placed on the GIS environment to establish a local data base. In the next phase rate and slope of land subsidence was extracted using InSAR technic. Results from the process of radar images of PALSAR evaluator of ALOS satellite in 2009-2010 shows that land subsidence in No.18 area and its neighbouring area follows a surface paradigm. Residential area’s map shows that a considerable section of this area’s houses are involved with land subsidence. Space of the whole area is estimated to be 380 hectare that 150 hectare (40%) of this space in three sections (1, 2, 3) is going through land subsidence with the rate of 1-25 cm. unexpected land subsidence and destruction and desolation of vulnerable structures in the studied area in which population density is high can be accompanied by death tolls and leads to a catastrophe. The most tragic situation for this area is that land subsidence happens with earthquake. Earthquake can be a trigger for land subsidence to happen in these areas. Predicting such a catastrophe in this area is not irrational because this area has the potential of quake being close to the active fault zone of Rey.

Development of proper public transport system in order to improve the quality of life for citizens is a great service. BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system is one of the new developed public transport systems. And using this system is growing increasingly. Tehran, like many cities in the world has been established a special “BRT lines” to take steps toward the development and improvement of methods of transportation. Despite the current problems of Tehran, the quality of this transport service can have a key role in reducing the problems. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the level of passengers’ satisfaction of the BRT system performance in the route from (terminals of Elm-O-Sanat to Khavaran). The research method is descriptive-analytical with an emphasis on field surveys, providing and completing questionnaires. The collected data were analysed using SPSS software. Survey shows that most people who use this system are employed with different income levels. In total, evaluation of the system performance indicates relative and average satisfaction of citizens from this transport system. Although in some cases such as access time to destination and reducing traffic, citizens’ satisfaction is high. And removing obstacles such as traffic nodes along the route, increasing security, improving the quality of buses (inside) could be an important factor in attracting more passengers and reducing the attractiveness of private car from citizens’ point of view.

House is one of the most important necessities for humans and providing an appropriate one has always been an essential difficulty in their progression. Nowadays, with towns quickly developed and demand for houses increased, to provide these needs faces problems which leads some people to build nonstandard extrajudicial houses which are not pursuant to urbanization criteria. Therefore, to examine house-related problems in unofficial residences and correctly plan to solve them are among problems of paramount importance which urban managers are facing. This study was functional using a descriptive-analytical approach, in which 19 quantitative and qualitative indices were considered. The required data were collected through field studies, questionnaire as well as documentaries and library. They were analysed using SPSS. The results indicate that one of the main reasons why unofficial houses within 5 to 10 kilometres surrounding Bushehr Atomic Plant are built is poor low-income people who turn to building unofficial constructs in this range, self-evidently because they cannot afford official houses within comprehensive plan of the city. So, concerning the good involvement among these residents and the hope that they are improved in near future, the best strategy to decrease problems and improve their condition is to coordinate different organizations and authorities of the infrastructure network and encourage the residents to cooperate so that the residence-relate problems could be solved.

Social change and regional economic imbalances and focus over recent decades in some parts as much as possible, and the privacy of others have followed. In this regard, the need for planning Regional area we aim to provide a model for a balanced distribution of the Service or the Hydrography spatial balance in the region. The goal of this research is to identify and rank areas of the country in terms of development and realize ultimate degree of development and reducing inequalities in regional results, the main objectives of regional and national planning development. In this study, we compared the development of indicators has been the country's provinces. Applied research is descriptive and analytical study of quantitative models such as factor analysis; multivariate regression and VIKOR technique using 22 indicators are used. The results of this analysis indicate indices were reduced to five “medical services – education” “future,” “cultural services – welfare”, “economic” and “rural services”. And multiple regression analysis, the factors that come forward, 99 percent of the variation in the degree of development of the standard are explained. And between provinces in terms of development initiatives in the fields of social, cultural, economic and health there are significant differences, so that in Tehran and Qom as the most developed countries are the most disadvantaged provinces.

Health and welfare of human life is the most important objectives of development programs. And the basic philosophy of human endeavour. In addition is a basic requirement for the development and promotion society of a healthy human. Human health is threatened by a variety of factors, including environmental hazards. Are defined by the World Health Organization zoonotic diseases and infections which are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and humans. In order to evaluate the risks of zoonotic diseases in Khuzestan province. State Veterinary Administration of the data has been used over the years 91-1389. Then detected with the help of statistical indicators of disease in high risk areas and Classification is carried out using the technique of successive zoning. The results are The city Behbahan, mahshahr, Sous, Hovezeh, Lali and Ahwaz The highest risk of outbreaks of zoonotic brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, rabies and FMD. Show zoning which requires immediate action on the city's sanitation and veterinary care and to control entry and exit of animals are quarantine posts.
