Bushehr province has many capabilities and potentials in the field of environment and economy. In terms of development, it faces spatial imbalances and social challenges in relation to the unfair distribution of facilities and services along the border. The development of the province in the planning system can play a decisive role in the stability and sustainable security of the southern region of Iran. The purpose of the research is practical and its methodology is descriptive and analytical. First, the weight of the indicators is calculated by FUZZY method and then the provinces cities are prioritized by using VIKOR model. According to the analysis, Bushehr province is the most prosperous county of the province and the next rank includes Assaluyeh, Kangan and Jam counties. Dashtestan township has occupied the least prosperous level. Industry, as a sector of economic progress, has played the greatest role in determining the level of development of counties as well as creating imbalances. Overloading of industrial capacity in some township will cause pollution and destructive environmental effects and will provide major challenges and threats to the structure of the residential system. Imbalances will also have consequences such as unemployment, poverty, insecurity and instability in settlements. Planning in the framework of territorial spatial arrangement is considered necessary in creation of a balanced spatial structure of the region. One of the most important research suggestions is to use all the capacities of the province in order to balance, because the north of the province has a large capacity in the field of tourism, If from which exploitation will be done, it can play a significant role in improvement and the balance of the region.

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.

Today, one of the important approaches to control and manage this phenomenon is the approach of good urban governance. Good urban governance can be defined as the way and process of managing urban affairs or the constructive participation of the public governmental private and civil society sectors in order to achieve sustainable urban development, create a healthy city and improve the quality of life. In the present study, the informal settlement areas of Ilam city have been studied with the approach of good urban governance. The research method is descriptive-analytical. For statistical calculations and analysis of research data, statistical software SPSS, Excel and statistical techniques including t-test, F-test and ANOVA method were used. Research information has been collected in two ways: library and survey (using a questionnaire). The statistical population of the study includes six thousand households living in the informal settlement of Ilam and the sample size is 397 heads of households who were selected using Cochran's formula and simple random sampling. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for the reliability of the questionnaire, which was calculated to be 0.86. the evaluation of variable have been done through Likert scale.The results of studies based on the indicators of good urban governance, participation, accountability, legality, justice, transparency, responsibility, effectiveness and efficiency show that the rate of benefiting from good urban governance in Ilam is at a low level. Accordingly, the more good urban governance and its indicators implemented and administrated, the more the expansion of informal settlement controlled.

Torqabeh city in the northeast of the country hosts a large number of tourists annually. The current trend of development of Torqabeh city is rapidly changing from rural-recreational area to dense urban area, which compared to past, many existing lands have been turned into construction complexes and also existing buildings have been demolished and replaced. Therefore, in recent years, a growing trend of urban development can be seen in this area. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of new urban construction on the environment of Torqabeh city and to provide solutions to improve the quality of life with a biophilic approach. This research is of applied research type and uses descriptive-analytic research method. The method of collecting information includes surveys, desktop research, field study, questionnaires, studying documents and statistical and library information and interviews urban managers and local authorities and academia. Using the data obtained, the SWOT table was compiled and analyzed, and the most important strategies were presented through the QSPM matrix. The results show that the score obtained from the internal factor evaluation matrix is 2.526. This number indicates the dominance of strengths over weaknesses (2.5 <2.52). Also, by examining the evaluation matrix of external factors and the score obtained from this analysis (2.76), it is concluded that opportunities will overcome threats (2.5 <2.76). Therefore, external factors with a rank of 2.75 prevail over internal factors with a rank of 2.526. Based on this, the position of the study area is in the first area of the chart and strategies are proposed.

With increase in population in recent decades, the main concern of cities has been to deal with unplanned development and prevent the problems caused by it. By referring to historical documents, it is proved that human beings are always looking for a systematic system. One of the problems of population growth is the horizontal growth or sprawl of the city, which leads to problems such as improper land use and, consequently, environmental, economic, social and physical problems. The method adopted in this research is analytical-descriptive and applied and the phenomenon has been analyzed by using content analysis and case study methods .The required information has been collected by the method of libraries and the information about Bastak city has been collected in the form of a combination of available resources, field visits, use of satellite photos and images and their comparison in different time periods as well as questions from informed people. Then the data have been analyzed the data with Excel and Arc GIS programs as well as the Heldern model. The results show that segregation plans between 2006 and 2020 have caused the sprawl of this city and there are also two types of sprawl, linear branching and clustering. In the end, Some suggestions have been represented such as preventing and confronting traders and Stock traders, using and exploiting unused areas within the tissue, encouraging the public to build with high density, mass construction and virtualization by allocating loans and facilities to prevent and control this phenomenon in Bastak.
