Purpose: The purpose of this applied research is to study the effectiveness of gamification on corporate TRAINING.  Methodology: A gamified course was designed AND implemented to train the location of Fire Hosing Cabinet for 24 employees of a firefighting maintenance company in Iran Mall shopping Center in Tehran. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental research plan (post-test only control group design) the participants of the study were rANDomly assigned to treatment (12) AND control (12) groups AND trained for a week.  Conclusion: The descriptive AND interpretive result of the posttest analyses indicated the effectiveness of gamification of the TRAINING performed for the employees of the firefighting maintenance company in Iran Mall shopping Center in Tehran. Moreover, the descriptive result of Gamification Acceptance Questionnaire answered by the members of the experimental group after gamified TRAINING indicated that all the participants in the experimental group were satisfied with the gamified TRAINING course.

ABSTRACT Over the past 50 years since the first research in the field of urban DEVELOPMENT implementation plans, there has been a noticeable absence of a comprehensive literature review on this topic in the global arena. This article provides a textual analysis related to the subject of urban DEVELOPMENT implementation plans, to identify important AND recurring themes alongside analyzing the relationships between authors, journals, AND countries in this field. Along with the bibliographic analysis, documents related to the field of urban DEVELOPMENT implementation plans were reviewed to identify influential indicators in their implementation. To this end, 456 scientific articles were extracted from the Scopus scientific database as of October 28th, 2022, AND analyzed using scientometric software. These analyses include examining author keywords, country co-authorships, journal bibliographic coupling, AND author co-citations. In this study, 74 final indicators were identified as the most recurrent indicators in this field. The bibliographic analysis also produced several noteworthy results. The United States is the most active country in this field, with a link strength of 40 AND 176 articles. Berke, P. is the most influential author in this field, with a link strength of 1623 AND 99 citations. Among the journals examined, "LAND Use Policy" has the highest bibliographic coupling strength of 84, AND the "Journal of the American Planning Association" has the highest number of documents related to this field, with 22 documents; finally, among the identified. Extended Abstract Introduction The implementation of urban DEVELOPMENT projects has been a neglected topic in public policy research, despite its critical importance in ensuring the success of such projects. While there have been numerous studies on the factors that contribute to the success or failure of policy implementation, there has been a lack of systematic reviews on the subject of implementation as a whole. This study aims to address this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive overview of the implementation process of urban DEVELOPMENT projects. This study aims to address this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive overview of the implementation process of urban DEVELOPMENT projects. The study begins by collecting AND categorizing existing research in the field, focusing on three main questions: -What are the key indicators for successful implementation? -What are urban journals AND articles' current trends AND performance? -How do countries AND researchers collaborate in this area? The study also examines the relationships between authors, publishers, AND different types of documents through bibliographic analysis. Ultimately, this study highlights the need for further research AND a more structured approach to understANDing the implementation process of urban DEVELOPMENT projects.   Methodology This study examined the literature related to implementation AND evaluation plans in urban AND lAND use planning. The authors used the Scopus database to extract AND collect data, focusing on combining the keywords "implementation-plan" AND "evaluation-plan" in the keywords, abstracts, AND titles. Initially, 621 studies were extracted, but 456 articles were selected as the final database after filtering out non-article documents. The authors observed a general upward trend for studies from 1968 to 2022, with a significant increase in the slope of the trend from 2007. However, a slight decrease in studies was observed in 2021 AND 2022, possibly due to the global pANDemic AND the emergence of new related topics. The authors used a four-stage process to analyze the bibliographic subject of the study, including simultaneous occurrence analysis, co-authorship analysis, bibliographic coupling analysis, co-citation analysis, content analysis, AND thematic analysis. The authors identified the selected articles' research objectives, methodologies, findings, AND main themes AND sub-themes. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of the literature on implementation AND evaluation plans in urban AND lAND use planning.   Results AND discussion This research aims to comprehensively analyze the implementation AND execution of urban DEVELOPMENT plans using bibliometrics AND systematic analysis. The study considers evaluation as a crucial part of the implementation process AND seeks to answer three fundamental questions. Firstly, it identifies effective indicators of implementation AND execution globally. Secondly, it examines the trends AND performances of new articles AND urban journals. Thirdly, it investigates the pattern of cooperation among countries AND researchers. The study identifies 74 general indicators that significantly impact the implementation process of urban plans. The results show that "performance evaluation," "effectiveness," "lAND use," "zonation," "participation," "program quality," AND "implementation program" are critical indicators in this area. The study also highlights the importance of evaluation in the discussion of program implementation AND its separability from the implementation process. Using the scientometric software VOSviewer, the study analyzed 68 keywords related to the bibliographic topic. "Program evaluation" obtained the first place, followed by "Program implementation" AND "Program quality." The co-authorship analysis based on author items revealed that Berke, P. has the highest number of citations AND link strength. Additionally, the study found that 72 countries have research in this field, with 22 countries having at least 5 citations that were clustered into 5 clusters by the software. The "lAND use policy" journal had the highest link strength, AND the "Journal of the American planning association" had the highest number of documents related to this field. In conclusion, the study provides valuable insights for policymakers AND researchers interested in urban DEVELOPMENT planning. It comprehensively examines the implementation AND execution of urban DEVELOPMENT plans, identifies effective indicators, AND investigates the pattern of cooperation among countries AND researchers. The study highlights the importance of evaluation in the implementation process AND its separability from the implementation process.   Conclusion The main goal of this research was to fill the gap in research on the implementation AND execution of urban DEVELOPMENT projects in the field, as no systematic review of the topic has been conducted from a global perspective since the first research in this field about half a century ago. Only in some studies, such as those by Talen (1996), Oliveira & Pinho (2010), Rudolf & Grădinaru (2017), has the evaluation of implementation been systematically reviewed, or the systematic review of experiences in a specific urban area, such as the review of various experiences in the Beijing urban area (Chu, 2020). In this research, with the comprehensive approach that the evaluation of implementation is an integral part of the overall process of implementing AND executing urban DEVELOPMENT projects, this process has been examined from the perspective of bibliometrics AND systematic analysis of this field. The main difference of this research, which makes it completely new, is firstly having a comprehensive approach to the implementation field, where program evaluation is only an important part of its structure, AND secondly, using the scientometric software VOSviewer for the first time in this field. In essence, the conclusive outcomes of this investigation were entirely novel AND exhibited some partial congruences with antecedent studies in the domain of appraising AND discerning indicators. Significantly, this research has conferred a systematic appraisal of the literature concerning the urban implementation AND execution of projects, which is an unprecedented contribution. It should be acknowledged that this is an initial survey of data intended to offer a comprehensive outlook on this scholarly field, AND thus it is subject to certain limitations, such as its confinement to the Scopus database. As such, it is recommended that future research endeavors encompass an analysis of additional databases AND undertake comparative evaluations of the results.

AbstractPurpose: The velocity of change in the surrounding world has forced them to identify those factors which impact their change capacity. The present study was conducted to identify AND prioritize influential factors on organizational change capacity.Methodology: In terms of purpose, this was explorative AND applied research. Its population included ten familiar experts with research subjects in a research AND TRAINING center. By reviewing the literature on change capacity, relevant, influential factors were identified, AND they were concurred by the fuzzy Delphi technique, AND then they were ranked. After recognizing influential factors, a pair comparisons questionnaire was distributed among ten experts, AND after gathering the questionnaires, effecting factors were ranked using the Expert Choice11 Software package AND AHP technique.Findings: Results show that organizational culture, structure, AND style of leadership were the main factors that impacted change capacity.Conclusion: The influential factors can be divided into three categories: environmental, content, AND structural elements. Environmental factors include environment AND innovation; content factors include team working, intellectual capital, leadership, political behavior, AND human resource management; Structural elements include strategy, structure, organizational policies, information technology, knowledge management, AND technology. Value: This is the first time in the literature that the influential variables affecting the change capacity were recognized AND categorized in a conceptual classification that has not been seen in the previous research.

Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of effective school-based self-control skill TRAINING on increasing psychological hardiness AND self-efficacy of male students of the first secondary level.Method: This research is a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study included male students of the first secondary school in Qom city, 30 students were selected using the available sampling method AND divided into two groups of 15 people completely rANDomly. Students in the experimental group participated in 8 sessions of the school-based self-control TRAINING program, AND the control group did not receive TRAINING. Before AND after the implementation of the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the psychological hardiness scale of Lang AND Goulet (2003) AND the self-efficacy scale of children AND adolescents (SEQ-C). The data was analyzed using spss-22 software AND through repeated measures analysis of variance test.Findings: The results showed that school-based self-control skill TRAINING has a significant effect on increasing students' psychological hardiness AND self-efficacy (P<0.01). Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated that school-based self-control skill TRAINING can be an effective intervention in increasing psychological hardiness AND self-efficacy in students.

Many factors influence the effectiveness AND success of TRAININGs. Among them factors including paying attention the real needs of human forces, active participation of staff in workshops, transparency of goals AND contents of programs, motivating staff in order to participate in the TRAININGs, AND suitable methods for TRAINING AND … are emphasized. But a very important object that is always ignored is the role AND responsibility of MANAGERS in success AND applying the outcomes of educational programs.Apparently it is expected that people should apply the outcomes after taking part in programs but in reality putting this expectation into action needs to provide an environment that makes it possible to apply those outcomes. Such an environment commonly should be provided by MANAGERS but often it is ignored.The results of research findings show that several causes rise as serious obstacles including not being serious on TRAININGs by MANAGERS, contradictions between current duties AND activities AND subjects taught at educational programs, dependence of outcome application to necessary resources such as enough time, money, power, energy AND … which mostly should be spend on current affairs.

A B S T R A C T Green city is one of the approaches to sustainable DEVELOPMENT. “green city” is an environmentally friendly city compatible with the concept of sustainable DEVELOPMENT AND can be used for the welfare AND security of its inhabitants. Based on the concept of a “green city,” urban MANAGERS try to have the least destructive effect on the ecosystems upon which cities rely. Green city is one of the sustainable DEVELOPMENT approaches that reduce the environmental footprint of cities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the situation of Mashhad metropolis in terms of the objective characteristics of the green city. In this study, 14 indicators of electricity consumption per capita, green space per capita, population density, water availability, sewage availability, superior public transportation network, urban mass transportation, traffic reduction, annual production waste per capita, carbon monoxide, concentration nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide concentration, particulate matter concentration, AND air quality were exerted. To determine the importance of research indicators, the Shannon entropy method, AND the status of Mashhad city areas in terms of green city indicators, the VIKOR multi-criteria decision-making method has been applied. The results showed that most areas of Mashhad are average AND below average in terms of green city characteristics, AND only District 9 is in very good condition (0.636). Also, based on the results of this part of the research, District 5, with the value of VIKOR index of 0.969, is in the last rank in terms of objective characteristics of the green city Extended Abstract Introduction Green city is one of the approaches to sustainable DEVELOPMENT. A “Green city” is an environmentally friendly city compatible with the concept of sustainable DEVELOPMENT AND can be used for the welfare AND security of its inhabitants. Based on the concept of a “green city,” urban MANAGERS try to have the least destructive effect on the ecosystems upon which cities rely. Green cities constantly try to manage their environmental effects by reducing waste, increasing recycling, reducing air pollution, increasing population density, developing open urban spaces, AND encouraging the DEVELOPMENT of sustainable local businesses. Green cities were first used to evaluate 30 European cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in 2009 with the financial support of Siemens AND the aim of reducing the environmental effects of human activities in cities. In that study, eight indices of carbon dioxide, energy, construction, transportation, water, recycling AND lAND use, air quality, AND environmental governance were used. Later, the Economist Intelligence Unit, with the financial support of Siemens, evaluated the status of the green city index in 17 Latin American cities, 15 African cities, 22 major Asian cities, AND 27 cities in United States, Canada, Australia, AND New ZealAND. In recent years, even some Western Islamic scholars have, in various publications, shown that Islam is an ecological religion. In Iran, the issue of protecting the environment has not received much attention regardless of its rich cultural AND religious background AND its confirmation in Article 50 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Mashhad is the second metropolis of Iran, located in North-East of Iran, AND is one of the counties of Khorasan Razavi Province. According to the 2016 Iranian Population AND Housing Census, its population was 3057679 people (The Vice-Presidency of Planning AND DEVELOPMENT of Mashhad Municipality). In Mashhad, due to several reasons including the presence of Imam Reza Shrine (PBUH) AND arrival of millions of pilgrims per year, population growth, increased garbage production (production of 896534 tons of garbage in 2016 (The Vice-Presidency of Planning AND DEVELOPMENT of Mashhad Municipality), air pollution (increased number of unhealthy days from 46 days per year in 2015 to 88 days in 2016 for sensitive groups AND 4 days of unhealthy air for all groups in 2016 (Center for Monitoring Environmental Pollutants of Mashhad Municipality) the 2025 vision of the city has paid attention to the environment in the form of five general objectives; however, just like the national level, no specific pattern for environmentally-compatible urban DEVELOPMENT, such as green city, is determined. Analysis of the green city index in Mashhad metropolis can considerably contribute to urban MANAGERS AND planners in addition to providing a pattern for evaluating the present situation in other cities of Iran AND improving the quality of life regardless of the current status of the urban environment in Iranian cities; we can preserve these environments as parts of the natural environment for future generations.   Methodology In terms of its goal, the present study is an applied one; in the study, drawing upon other studies AND library sources AND considering the conditions of Iran AND the metropolis of Mashhad in terms of green city, 14 quantitative indices were exerted. To this end, the required data for the quantitative indices was gathered by library research from the relevant institutions. Next, the weights of quantitative indices were determined using Shannon's entropy. Then, using the VIKOR method of multi-criteria decision-making, the status of various districts of the metropolis of Mashhad in terms of quantitative indices of green city was determined. Finally, the map of the spatial distribution of quantitative indices was drawn using the ARC GIS software package.   Results AND discussion In this study, to analyze the status of the metropolis of Mashhad in terms of green city features, 14 quantitative indices were used. Considering the value of the VIKOR index ranges from 0 to 1, various districts of Mashhad can be classified into five categories; very satisfactory, satisfactory, average, unsatisfactory, AND very unsatisfactory in terms of quantitative indices of green city. The results of the current situation of Mashhad showed that in terms of objective indicators of the green city, District 9 of Mashhad metropolis with a value of VIKOR index of 0.056 is in first place, AND the seventh region with a value of VIKOR index of 0.433 is in second place. Also, based on the results of this part of the research, District 5, with the value of VIKOR index of 0.969, is in the last rank in terms of objective characteristics of the green city.   Conclusion Similarly, the results of studies by Afshar (2011) AND Shabani et al. (2017) on Tehran metropolis are indicative of the unsatisfactory situation of Tehran (the biggest metropolis of Iran) in terms of green city features. Comparing the results of the studies by Afshar (2011) AND Shabani et al. (2017) with the present study on Mashhad (the second biggest metropolis of Iran) reveals the necessity for a comprehensive plan toward achieving green cities. It should be mentioned that, due to the specific conditions of Mashhad metropolis AND availability or unavailability of the required data, the indices used in the present study are somewhat different from the ones used by Afshar (2011) AND Shabani et al. (2017).   Funding There is no funding support.   Authors’ Contribution All of the authors approved the content of the manuscript AND agreed on all aspects of the work.     Conflict of Interest Authors declared no conflict of interest.   Acknowledgments We are grateful to all the scientific

The TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT systems of MANAGERS AND employees have a significant role in the improvement, DEVELOPMENT AND growth of organizational systems, AND therefore, the design of frameworks that logically provide the possibility of forming more complex AND robust forms of these systems is necessary. Based on this necessity, this research paper followed the design of the proposed conceptual framework of TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT activities in the DEVELOPMENT centers of commANDers AND MANAGERS of military organizations in the sections of needs assessment AND design, implementation AND evaluation. Using qualitative approach, phenomenological method AND content analysis of seventeen interviews of organizational AND academic experts, the research was carried out. The purposeful sampling method was used for sampling. Data analysis was done by Colaizzi analysis method AND Goba AND Lincoln criteria were used to ensure the validity of the findings. The findings of the research showed a framework that has approach AND method requirements related to "needs assessment AND design", "implementation" AND "effectiveness evaluation" sections.The findings of this research can be useful as one of the sources of information in the way of designing the model of TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT system for commANDers AND MANAGERS.

Utilization of systematic instructional design models in industrial TRAINING has been a stANDard since the introduction of those models.However this stANDard has been questioned after the interdiction of constructivist instructional design model. No doubt, the application of efficient instructional design models has a determining effect on productivity of MANAGERS TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT. In the present study selecting an appropriate approach to instructional design for MANAGERS TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT in organizational context was examined. This could solve many TRAINING problems, AND improve the efficiency of instructional system in those settings.Kirkpatrick's TRAINING evaluation model was used to compare the effectiveness of each program. Findings showed that MANAGERS in constructive group had more satisfaction AND more positive attitude toward TRAINING. Also, TRAINING of the constructive group was found to be more effective than that of the systematic one.

This research aimed to update TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS’ duty, responsibilities, create a pathway to recognize their top competencies AND plan TRAINING AND developing courses. AND to achieve the goals of this qualitative study, the researcher conducted a 3 days Dacum workshop containing a group of 14 Iranian TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT experts AND MANAGERS with about 10 year experiences. After the Dacum workshop, a group of top attendees (including 2 MANAGERS AND 2 experts) were selected to classify the identified competencies during workshop in a meeting. The following competencies were identified:General competencies: Personality AND Moral competency, Perceptual competency, Seeking excellence, Interpersonal competency.Special competencies: Technical competency, Organizational competency, Business competency, Leadership, Performance management, Strategic thinking, Decision making.

Introduction: Steoporosis is currently one of the prevalent diseases. The effect of exercise on bone marrow density (BMD) has been documented for all age groups. The aim of this research was to compare the effects of endurance vs. resistance TRAININGs on local Bone Mineral Density (BMD) changes. Materials AND Methods: Thirty-six volunteer female university students (age average: 22.58±1.56; Body Mass Index average: 22.85±2.17), with sedentary lifestyles, were selected AND rANDomly divided to three groups (n=12 in each group). These groups were determined as: The endurance group who ran for 36 sessions on a treadmill over a period of 3 weeks at 70 to 80 percent of the maximum heart-beat rate. They were required to run for 40 minutes per session on the other hAND, the resistance group received 36 circuit TRAINING sessions at the rate of 70 to 80 percent of 1RM with 6 to 8 repetitions in 3 sets with 2 minutes of rest in between. The third group of the study was the control group.Results: Both the endurance AND the resistance TRAINING protocols induced significant increases in BMD in the areas of lumbar, neck AND femur (P<0.05). However, the variation was more significant for the endurance group in the neck AND femur while it was in the aerobic group where better effects were observed in the lumbar region (P<0.05). Conclusion: There was no considerable differences between the two modes of exercise (i.e. endurance AND resistance) in terms of the increase of skeleton’s local bone mineral density.
