Today, the widespread presence of vehicles, as well as the growing share of Passenger rides in the structure of cities, has created problems and caused sidewalks to be reserved only for places of passage. However sidewalks can play a complementary role in connection with other transportation networks and improve civic life in urban centers. In this study, the aim is to assess the desirability of urban sidewalks based on qualitative components in Naderi sidewalks in Ahvaz. The present research is theoretical-applied in nature and descriptive-analytical in terms of study method. Data collection has been Librarian and from the field. The statistical population of the study includes pedestrians and residents of Ahvaz commercial center. 320 pedestrians and residents were randomly selected as a sample size during one week. Data reliability was calculated by Cronbach's test to be 0.813. SPSS statistical tests were used to analyze the data. The results of the analysis show that the rare sidewalk in Ahvaz is far from the characteristics of a desirable sidewalk. Among the studied indices, the attractiveness and vitality index with an average of 2.96 and accessibility with 2.82 have a more suitable situation than other indices. It should be noted that safety, furniture and mixed uses on the sidewalk should be given serious attention. So that citizens can walk and have fun freely and with complete safety and comfort.

One of the accidents that occur suddenly and leads to damage to humans and the environment are known as natural hazards. These risks, due to their unexpected nature, in most cases cause a lot of financial and human losses. Among natural hazards, earthquakes and landslides are among the most devastating hazards. These hazards are more severe and harmful in urban communities due to greater population concentration. Therefore, identifying areas that are more vulnerable to natural hazards can be effective in planning to mitigate the effects of these events. The aim of this study is to zoning vulnerability to natural hazards of landslides and earthquakes. Applied research is practiced and its method is descriptive-analytical; the required statistics and information have been collected through library studies and remote sensing data. Findings show that in the zoning of Kermanshah province about fault lines and rivers, relatively high altitude and high slope, the central parts of the province have a high potential for flooding and vulnerability to natural earthquake risk.one of the most important parts of this area of Kermanshah city as the center of the province. For the process of location and building cities of the province, elements such as distance from fault lines and the spots of landslides are less considered. Therefore, this leads to insecurity and vulnerability while natural events take place.
