Housing generally refers to the social problem of ensuring that the members of the society have a home to live in, whether this is a house, or some other kind of dwelling, lodging, or shelter. Many governments, such as Iran, have a department that deals with housing. Lack of affordable housing is one of the most critical issues which rural communities face in the world. The data were collected by applying a questionnaire. There are two populations, 400 people in each one, including a group of people getting a loan and a group which does not get loan. Besides, the sampling method is systematic random sampling. The reliability and validity of the research is achieved by Cronbach alpha and K.M.O and Bartlet Test. The present study aims at identifying the effective components of rural housing improvement in Kermanshah city. The findings reveal that the improvement of housing project is essential, although there are some problems like bank guarantee, considered as the most important one, and cost margin. It turns out that the inflation rate affects the people leading to some problems for loan reimbursement. It is believed that government institute is not trustworthy enough for housing improvement. Therefore, it is expected to increase the loan. In other words, the more inflation rate, the more loan. It is concluded that 2013 is considered as the most difficult time for having a loan while 2005 was the easiest time for that.

The present study aims at synoptic analysis of Saudi high and its effect on the drought of southern and southwest of Iran. Located in the south and southwest of Iran, the precipitation data of 28 synoptic stations during a 10-year statistical period (2000- 2009) are gathered from the Iran Meteorological Organization. Using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), the drought period of the region was extracted, in which 2008 was considered as the driest year. Moreover, synoptic maps were determined and analyzed in 4 levels, called sea level pressure, height, and Omega at 850, 700 and 500 HP during January, February, March, April, November and December. The central closed contour of the precipitation in 6 months of 2008 on a daily basis at various levels revealed that geopotential height contour is closed at 850 hPa, 700 hPa, and 500 hPa as 0.77, 0.98 and 0.99 respectively. Besides, the central closed contour in 2001 during the 6 humid months showed daily that the geopotential height contours are closed at the level of 850 hp in 0.68, 700 hp in 0.83 and 500 hp in 0.77. Since there was a severe drought during 2008, it is revealed that more contour of center anticyclone is closed. Furthermore, centered anticyclone over land was as east-west in 2008 and 2001 which is more common in the combination of north of Africa and the anticyclone of Saudi Arabia. In addition, the ridge has been locating on Iran and Saudi Arabia in recent years dominating the stability in the area. Therefore, Mediterranean trough cannot penetrate lower latitudes moving to higher ones. In conclusion, the southern half of Iran is not affected by precipitation systems. However, the low pressure of Sudan has been progressing on the Red Sea and not penetrating in the study area.

Tabriz metropolitan is located in the area of the active fault which passes from the lower part of the Gomanabchai and Varkeshchai watershed in the north of the city. The present research aims at studying the activity and seismic power of Tabriz fault using geomorphic indicators, remote sensing and GIS techniques. To achieve this goal, geomorphic indicators, including basin asymmetry, sinus mountain front, Sinus River, valley floor width to valley height, assessment of active tectonic index and experimental models, were applied as the topic and model tools. Satellite images ASTER sensor, geological maps, digital elevation model and ENVI4.8, ArcGIS10.2 software's are other physical means in this research. Processing the satellite data, the tectonic evidence of Tabriz fault as Ajichai deviation stream, cliff fault and lens-shaped phenomenon in the metropolitan were explained. The results were confirmed by field evidence area. Therefore, basin asymmetry 39.7 and 23.2, 1.4 and 0.93 sinus mountain front, 1.1 and 1.3 sinus river, valley floor width to valley height of 1.08 and 1.2 were calculated for Gomanabchai and Varkeshchai watershed respectively. According to relative active tectonics index assessment, Gomanabchai and Varkeshchai watershed have very high tectonic movements with values 1.5 and 1 respectively. Results indices show that Gomanabchai and Varkeshchai watershed morphology influence Tabriz fault tectonic movements. According to empirical models, Tabriz fault has the potential to create the earthquakes with the magnitude over 6 on the Richter scale. The consequences of the expansion of Tabriz on faults and north highlandsare gradually emerging in this areadue to the geological formations. In addition the occurrence of earthquakes of magnitude 6.9 on the Richter scale average, and the consequences of inappropriate development in the future will be very dangerous.

As a dynamic phenomenon, towns are experiencing physical, economic, social and cultural changes over time. These changes necessitate an integrated and flexible planning which is defined as a participatory and creative process to improve the performance and ensure the future condition of the town. The present study aims at both investigating the current condition of Rine and preparing town development strategies in future plans. This study is considered as a descriptive-analytic one with practical implications. The data were collected from the documents in the library through surveying. SOWT model is used to recognize the current condition. Preparing the development strategies, the indices of ACEPT and VIKOR models were applied to prioritize the future development strategies of city. Moreover, the space position figure is drawn to investigate the importance of the strategies. The findings show that, according to high potentials of Rine, a proper planning in terms of environmental protection and investment in tourism and farming could lead to an increase in the town’s income per capita. In addition, a sudden and unplanned development of the city can be managed by observing the rules and regulations of construction in town space

It is obvious that the Recognition of climatic features of each region can play an important role in land use and planning. It is necessary to determine climatic stable areas precisely in order to get sustainable development. One of the new methods determining climatic stable areas is statistical multivariable methods such as factor analysis and cluster analysis using Geographical Information System (GIS). Considering the vastness of Kerman province, there are many climatic diversities in this province. In the present research, statistical methods like factor analysis and cluster analysis using GIS were applied to identify climatic stable areas in the aforesaid region. Therefore, 36 climatic variables were selected from 12 meteorology stations during a statistical 30 -years period (1979-2008). Consistent with the distance of stations and positional variations of the selected variables, a network in 15×15 km dimensions was developed over Kerman province. The values of 36 variables were estimated using Kriging method. Factor analysis method accompanied by varimax (vertical) rotation were used to reduce data matrix dimensions, while cluster analysis method was used to determine the climatic stable areas. Moreover, the related maps were drawn applying GIS. The findings revealed that the climate of Kerman province is consisted of four factors called temperature, precipitation, humidity and wind, respectively, which include 90.77 percent variance of primary variables. The most outstanding climatic feature of southern areas is heat, while in mountainous area is precipitation, in Jiroft and Kanouj areas is humidity and in dry areas is wind. The presence of six climatic stable areas is specified in this province using cluster analysis performed on four factors and based on factor scores.

The present study aims at recognizing and prioritizing tourism development strategies of Shiraz applying SWOT technique and ANP model. This research is a descriptive-analytical one with deductive logic using field and document methods. First of all, SWOT quadruplet factors were gathered through a questionnaire from tourists (sample size 400), citizens (sample size 400) and experts (30 samples) according to the topic of research. In the next step, the strategies, obtained from the analysis, were prioritized by a 5-member group of expert professors in the field of tourism using network analysis (ANP). Moreover, SWOT quadruplet elements and each of their factor were prioritized toward each other. The findings show that SO1, SO2and ST1are considered as the 3 precedence strategies for Shiraz. SO1 strategy makes an increase in tourism resources of high importance at regional, national and international, which is associated with aggressive strategies. SO2 strategy develops appropriate entertainment centers which increases more staying of tourists, especially foreign tourists. It is also associated with aggressive strategies. ST1 strategy increases the funding for the development and management of tourism attractions and tourism development. In addition it is related to the competitive strategies.
