Background and Aim: The performance of employees is a subject that is closely related to the achievement of the organization's goals, so that the performance of employees is considered equivalent to the performance of the organization. Therefore, paying attention to the knowledge and skills of human resources and empowering these unique capitals in organizations, especially in this era, is a necessary and undeniable thing. The most important factor in improving productivity in municipalities and in any country is human resources, so that this factor has become an important and fundamental element in explaining the differences in productivity and its growth in different countries. Since the main basis of development is human, improving the quality of human resources is very necessary in development and has a fundamental and decisive role in any planning for the development and productivity of human resources; Therefore, economic development will not be achieved without prioritizing the productivity and development of human resources, which will not be realized as part of the long-term and comprehensive practical planning process based on accurate information from the past, present and clear future. The aim of this research is to explain effective solutions and empower human capital in increasing the efficiency and improving the performance of municipalities.Methods: The research method in this article is descriptive and analytical in terms of nature and method, and theoretical and practical in terms of purpose.Findings and Conclusion: From the experts' point of view, it is necessary to pay attention to the components affecting talent management (identification, employment, development, maintenance) and empowerment (training, participation, motivation) as well as the stages of empowerment (empowerment, structure, process) and how to evaluate their effectiveness, which were investigated in this study.

Background and Aim: The lack of an efficient transportation system is one of the obstacles to the growth and development of any country. Among the types of intra-city transportation, the role of the bus is more prominent than other methods. Considering that bus lines have the largest role and contribution in the country's intra-city transportation, therefore, they should have the necessary efficiency. In this research, the efficiency of parallel lines with a metro line in Isfahan city has been evaluated by using data envelopment analysis technique.Methods: The research method in this study was applied in terms of its purpose and in terms of descriptive-analytical nature and the method of collecting information in the library field. In order to analyze the data and evaluate the performance, the performance information of 15 lines as production units or DMUs in the period of the first nine months of the year 1400, including 5 input variables and one output variable through the mechanized fleet management system (AVL) located in the bus unit company Isfahan were extracted and their efficiency was evaluated using DEA SOLVER and DEAFrontier software.Findings and Conclusion: Out of the total of 15 studied lines, lines number 10, 17, 70, 81 and 82 did not have the necessary efficiency due to the ratio of input and output and existing conditions, of which three lines 17, 70 and 81 they are privately run. The important issue in this research is the higher efficiency of lines with more passenger movement and less overlap, which shows the importance of the passenger volume variable in evaluating the efficiency of bus lines.

Background and Aim: n recent years, the environmental crisis has been one of the main concerns of human beings. Increasing energy consumption and its impact on the future of the environment has made the design of buildings with a sustainable architectural approach of particular importance. Meanwhile, the physical structure and shape of schools, their environmental and technological qualities, have a great impact on education, culture and achieving a livable world. The main purpose of this study is to achieve the physical characteristics effective in promoting sustainable architecture in schools, so that the physical environment of the school becomes an educational tool for learning environmental issues and sustainable development.Methods: The present article is of applied type and is a qualitative and descriptive analytical research method. Data collection is based on documentary studies, review of texts, sources and experiences that lead to the extraction of a conceptual model. Finally, the physical indicators derived from the model are analyzed in a case study (François Mitterrand School) and solutions are proposed to design the educational space based on the physical indicators of sustainable development.Findings and Conclusion: Findings show that the components that promote sustainability in the educational environment include four main components: physical, environmental, social and economic. In the meantime, the physical component can turn a school into an educational tool for environmental issues and its characteristics include the use of daylight, improving indoor air quality, communication with natural elements, space design to support environmental activity, conscious choice Materials are physical flexibility, reduction of energy consumption through the body and the use of stability elements, which also affect the case study.

Background and Aim: Nowadays, due to the important role of the transportation system in sustainable urban development, it is important to adopt appropriate policies in the urban transportation sector and develop sustainable transportation as one of the main areas of urban growth.. Green transportation means sustainable transportation with the least negative effects on the environment, which according to the current conditions of the world, we should seek to achieve this and use modern technologies to reduce the environmental effects caused by transportation. The main goal of this research is to investigate the effect of using green transportation in improving the living conditions of Iranian cities.Methods: This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of nature. The method of collecting information was document-library and content analysis.Findings and Conclusion: The research results show; Today, special attention has been paid to the approach of green urban transportation in many regions of the world. In Iran, in many cities under the influence of global developments and the implementation of various urban plans, the economic factor has become the main determining factor and the developments of the current century and the oil-based economy have resulted in excessive population density, the concentration of activities and the frequency of constructions, the growth and physical expansion of urban centers and the destruction of the natural ecosystem of the country's cities; However, in some cities of the country, measures have been taken to achieve urban green transportation but the necessity of creating and planning to use this model is felt more and more every day, considering the problems that have arisen for the cities of the country; And in the following, suggestions and solutions are provided for the implementation of this approach.

Background and Aim: Development, as a concept, has been associated with various meanings, interpretations, and theories. Development is an evolutionary process whereby human capacity is increased to start new structures, solving problems, adapting to constant changes, and deliberately and creatively striving to achieve new goals. Forests are increasingly recognized as a key element for sustainable development and support several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), some of which include reducing hunger and poverty, regulating fresh water, climate practices, health and welfare, and biodiversity. One of the most important indices used to assess deforestation is the Normalized difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), which is used to assess forest change trends. The results of all studies that examined NDVI index will be questionable in the term of Sustainable Development Goals. This study investigates the trend of NDVI vegetation index during the period 2001 to 2018 based on the MODIS data in Malard city.Methods: In this study, the MODIS vegetation data at a resolution of 1 km were used. The vegetation data, abbreviated MOD13A3, is monthly and with a 1 kilometer spatial resolution. This data covers 830 points for Malard city, so that it can be surveyed in 1×1 kilometers of 830 points in the city. Since based on research conducted by Farajzadeh et al. (2011:107), May to August have the highest NDVI, this index was extracted only in the highest NDVI months, ie May, June, July and August. The data were subdivided into three-year intervals and the rate of change was extracted based on the index introduced by the United Nations for sustainable development goals. Then annual land use was obtained for a deeper examination.in the final step we used an analytic-description method to describe the results in the connection with sustainable development goals.Findings and Conclusion: The results showed that a decreasing trend was observed in the percentage of NDVI area in May, June and July between -0.03 and -0.9% in month. So that, under the maximum NDVI months, it was found that the amount of Barren increased about 9 km2 every 6 years and the amount of areas covered by forests and green plants decreased about 8 km2 every 6 years. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the measures and plans regarding prevent desertification in the city that will meet the goals of sustainable development
