Considering capabilities including good weather conditions, four types of climate, raining, and fertile soil, Ilam province has many entrepreneurship potentials and opportunities in agricultural sector. It is obvious that recognizing entrepreneurial opportunities in agricultural sector and reducing unemployment rate are of high importance in such conditions. Despite the significance of this issue, researchers have not paid much attention to recognition of women’s entrepreneurship opportunities. Considering that entrepreneurship is a capacity to discover and utilize profitable opportunities in a competitive market, a low level of understanding and recognition of entrepreneurship opportunities by Iranian entrepreneurs is notable. Accordingly, it can be inferred that not recognizing existent potentials and opportunities in the agricultural sector for women is the main reason for the low rate of employment among women, thus improving capabilities to recognize entrepreneurial opportunities among job seekers is one of the best solutions to resolve unemployment and to develop entrepreneurship.

The current study is a practical interpretive research. In terms of method, it is a qualitative research in which an inductive approach has been utilized. Semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis were utilized to analyze the data and the used texts, respectively. Semi-structured interview by an exploratory approach was utilized to achieve the goals of the qualitative research and to extract indicators related to recognition of entrepreneurial opportunities. Five selected female entrepreneurs in 2019, 6 professors in entrepreneurship field who were familiar with agricultural sector's concerns, and 6 employees in Agricultural Jahad Organizations with more than 15 years of service, were interviewed using a semi-structured interview. Non-probability and purposive sampling using a snowball sampling approach was utilized to select the sample. Selecting the sample was continued to ensure sufficiency and saturation of the data and to ensure that the next samples do not provide different information. In this study, 17 participants were interviewed. Lincoln and Guba’s evaluation was utilized to investigate the reliability and validity of the coding stage in analyzing qualitative context.

Qualitative analysis of field interviews and their implementation and coding showed that among the main themes of recognition of entrepreneurial opportunities for rural women, “psychological features” by 77 frequencies were the main themes. This main theme includes some secondary themes such as creativity, independence, the need for cognition, self-efficacy in recognizing entrepreneurial opportunities, and the ability to understand and organize information. Alertness with a frequency of 62 was the second main theme. This includes primary knowledge, social networks, evaluation of information, and connecting new information and primary knowledge. “Entrepreneurial intelligence” by frequency of 60 was the 3rd main theme. It includes secondary themes such as entrepreneurial insight, cognitive intelligence, social intelligence, venture intelligence, and provocative intelligence. The 4th main theme was “environmental supports” with a frequency of 47. It includes financial, social, cultural, and political support. The 5th theme was “ human capital” with a frequency of 33. This theme includes cognitive knowledge and experience. “Social capital” which includes connected philanthropy was the 6th theme with a frequency of 29. Turbulence as the 7th main theme by frequency of 27 includes secondary themes such as factors related to environment and personality factors.

Analyzing information and the interviews showed that the main drivers for recognition of entrepreneurial opportunities can be categorized into seven categories ( social capital, human capital, psychological features, turbulence, entrepreneurial intelligence, alertness, and environmental support). Generally, in the current study, 124 initial codes, 97 conceptual codes, 25 basic ( main) themes, and 7 organizing (secondary) themes were recognized and extracted using thematic analysis of 17 interviews.

Water-based incidents are natural phenomena that have posed Iran to serious crises. Despite efforts to settle water crises and improve the conditions, we still witness a growing trend of water issues, especially in the agricultural sector in Iran. A necessary step to face water-based incidents and alleviate their implications is to have a deep understanding of resilience dimensions to enhance the tolerance level of the farmers. The present study evaluated farmers’ resilience level in the face of water-based crises in Harsin County. The research, which adopted a descriptive survey methodology, was conducted in 2020. The statistical population was composed of the heads of rural households in four rural districts of the county, amounting to about 6000 people. The sample size was determined to be 361 farmers based on Morgan’s table. The measurement instrument was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by a panel of experts and professionals and its reliability was confirmed for all sections as their Cronbach’s alpha was estimated at >0.8. SPSS was used for data analysis and Expert Choice was used for pairwise comparisons. Based on the results of the pairwise comparisons, infrastructural resilience to drought has the highest level of importance in the concept of resilience. According to the results of the study, the resilience level was evaluated to be relatively low in all studied rural districts, and the difference in the level of resilience among the studied villages is significant. Also, farmers with irrigated farming have a higher level of resilience than farmers with rainfed farming.

Every day, we face architectural designs in buildings, especially in their facades, which are done without considering various factors. The facade plays the most significant role in daily life and can be regarded as one of the most important issue. The components of buildings in urban spaces are said to have a heavy duty in giving identity or reflecting the essence of every society. There is no doubt about the anonymity of today's facades and to they give identity to architecture and urban planning. Spaces, first of all, efforts should be made to improve the quality of their views. The facade of the buildings creates a common visual field with all the people of the city, which the people of the municipality observe every day. Moreover, if this ordinary square has a correct and balanced composition, it will have many effects on the members of the city. The facade does not have a special place in the Iranian contemporary architectural culture, it changes into different shapes and images. That employer users, designers and municipality rules created it. The subject of urban appearance, the dominant face of the city and containing the first messages in the vision of citizens, has been the topic of urban planning discussion, especially since the last half century AD. Due to its close relationship with the category of identity and characteristics of the city, its recognition is complicated, and with the beginning of the modern era and the application of unconventional management based on urban planning law, it gained wide dimensions. A society designed and implemented apart from its culture, tradition and identity is a prelude to its destruction. In our cities, there is no common language between views. They need a familiar culture to express themselves. They use different materials and follow different styles. Every facade in the city is a sign of the economic and social status of the builder and his way of thinking and attitude towards various issues. The dimensions and identity criteria of urban facades are not stated. Therefore, the general goal of the current research is to explain the framework of the components affecting the identity of urban facades. The purpose of this research is to explain the framework for expressing the effective components of the identity of urban facades. This research is applied, and in terms of data collection, it is considered to be a meta-synthesis type of document. In order to identify the pattern of the practical components of the identity of urban views, a number of 179  articles were examined, from which 58  articles were selected for the final analysis with the help of the critical evaluation skills program. In this research, first, 123  indicators representing the identity of urban facades were identified and classified into seven concepts and one category. Based on these research findings, dimensions, components, criteria and factors of ideas, spatial identity, identity, urban identity, urban landscape, urban landscape, architectural landscape and facade are expressed.

Finally, it can be concluded that managers of production cooperatives can use the results of this study to identify new customers and their diverse needs, increase market share and create a competitive advantage.

Ecotourism is a sustainable strategy for earning revenues while preserving natural resources. Therefore, this study set out to provide a framework for developing ecotourism in Kermanshah province's target tourism villages using grounded theory. The required data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 20 experts who were selected through snowball sampling. The collected data were then analyzed in Maxqda12 software using open coding, axial coding, and selective coding approach, resulting in 433 codes, 124 concepts, 23 sub-categories, and 6 main categories. The main categories of the model included causal categories (participatory, economic, regional attractions and potentials, policy, social and cultural, managerial, infrastructure, ecotourism services and facilities, and the core category of ecotourism development), intervening categories (economic, managerial, and educational), strategic categories (economic and educational), and consequential categories (positive and negative economic consequences, and social, cultural and environmental consequences) were grouped together in a paradigmatic framework.

The purpose of this qualitative research was to analyze the development strategies of Zagros nomadic organizing based on Grounded Theory. The Data were collected by semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling methods with 30 specialists, managers and experts in the field of nomads. The theory extraction and coding process was performed by MAXqda18 software. The study findings indicated that categories such as failure of previous projects, lack of attention to environmental sustainability, lack of attention to human capital, natural and ecological potential of nomadic areas, lack of socio-cultural pathology and lack of attention to upper-level documents as causal conditions affecting the development of the Zagros nomadic organization were identified; also, grounded conditions included categories such as lack of coordination in planning and implementation, lack of financial resources, cultural barriers, lack of specialized manpower, technological and natural barriers; meanwhile, constantly changing the pattern of life, lack of investment and marketing, disregard for the potentials in the region, implementation of parallel development policies and inconsistencies between the provinces of the Zagros area were also identified as intervening conditions. Besides, in order to develop the nomadic organization of the Zagros area, strategies such as decentralized and regional planning, participatory management system, local (tribe) management system, establishment of nomadic cooperatives, nomadic ecotourism and the creation of local markets were identified. Finally, it was found that the development of the Zagros nomadic organization would have consequences such as environmental sustainability, establishing social justice, permanent job as well as restoration of forest and rangeland ecosystems, food security and productivity among the studied population. Accordingly, the study findings can be exploited by the concerned policy makers, planners and managers while paying more attention to the nomads of the region in supporting decisions in order to achieve sustainable development.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of social institutions in sustainable agricultural development. . For this purpose, 42 experts, managers and implementers of agricultural projects were selected as the study sample and the required information was collected through questionnaires distributed among them. In order to analyze the data obtained from structural equation modeling, the partial least squares method was used by PLS statistical software and the results of the conceptual model fit indices indicate the appropriate fit of the measurement model, structural and It was a general model of research. All hypotheses related to the factors affecting the sustainable development of agriculture were confirmed. The validity of the research was confirmed using a panel of experts, project implementers, professors and its reliability using Cronbach's alpha, combined reliability, convergent validity and convergent validity. The results showed that causal factors (education-comprehensive planning), central category (economic conditions), intervention factors (policy-judicial-climate), underlying factors (government-infrastructure), strategies (Banking regulations) affect the sustainable development of agriculture (collection of loans), and the productive root of a comprehensive pattern of collection of loans in the agricultural sector is economic factors, based on which farmers' incomes are affected. With the increase of farmers' incomes and coherent planning for the repayment of agricultural loans and the implementation of the necessary and efficient infrastructure by the government, the proper implementation of appropriate methods and methodology for receiving loans in the agricultural sector will be provided.

Platform- based banking is one of the most innovative trends in the banking industry that has attracted the attention of many major banks around the world and Iran by providing a variety of APIs for major corporate consumers and fintechs.

This study aimed at investigating the stimuli and inhibitors of tourism development in Kolm village in Badreh County of Iran. The statistical population included all the experts and authorities of tourism institutions and the present tourists in the county as well as the residents of Kolm village (N=1004). For the experts and authorities group, the census method was used to select the sample (n=31); for the group of present tourists, 35 people were selected in a convenience sampling method; and to select the sample of rural residents group, the random sampling method was used through Cochran formula (n=240). Both the face and content validities of the questionnaire were approved by the experts and its reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α=0.271). The collected data were analyzed in two methods of descriptive statistics and factor analysis. As shown by the factor analysis results, in terms of importance, there were identified four factors as stimuli (drivers) of the rural tourism development (including environmental, socio-cultural, economic-promotional, and welfare-infrastructural stimuli, respectively) and the same four factors as inhibitors of the rural tourism development (including welfare-infrastructural, environmental, socio-cultural, and economic-promotional inhibitors, respectively). The mentioned factors explained 62.445 and 54.219 percent of the total variance of the rural tourism development, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to determine the educational needs of farmers in different stages of planting, holding and harvesting organic tomatoes. This research was applied and a quantitative descriptive research method was used. The statistical population of this research included 31 experts and all tomato growers in Dashti Township (N=550). Using proportionate stratified random sampling method and based on Cochran formula, 226 of them were selected as the sample. Research instrument to collect data was questionnaire that its content validity confirmed by an expert panel and convergent validity confirmed by calculating CR= 0.81 and AVE=0.73. Ordinal theta (using R software), was calculated to measure reliability of the questionnaire (Θ =0.75 - 0.82). Educational needs were analyzed based on the Bourich model and the most important needs in organic production were identified. So proper soil management and land preparation under cultivation, identify and eliminate pest breeding areas, and planting new cultivars that are resistant to pests and diseases, were identified as the most important educational needs in two groups of farmers and experts. An agreement was reached between these two groups using the Mann-Whitney test and the results showed that these two groups had the same view on most of the educational need items. Based on the findings of ordinal regression, three variables of education, crop yield and area under cultivation had significant effect on the probability of indicating tomato growers' educational needs. Thus, the more educated and productive farmers are, the higher their sense of need.
