Integrated rural development planning is the result of a series of different developments in planning, economy, politics and sociology in the last decade, which has become necessary due to globalization and decentralization on a local or regional scale. This type of thinking mechanism planning It is based and problem-oriented and seeks to answer the three basic questions of what, why and how in a people-oriented and place-oriented framework and deals with this issue with integrated rationality. Planning issues and problems have emerged at the national level. The examination and evaluation of the ecosystem within the realm of global studies pertaining to integrated development planning hold significant importance, specifically in light of institutional pluralism, aimed at mitigating disparities in rural areas. Numerous insights can be gleaned from research outcomes and strategies in the realm of development and rural progress. Hence, the primary objective of the present study is to methodically scrutinize the knowledge network concerning integrated development planning by scrutinizing the co-occurrence network of terminologies and collaborative authorship within this domain, in order to uncover patterns of knowledge, origins, and their limitations.

This research is applied in terms of type, which uses the scientometric approach to review scientific documents. In the current research, the social network analysis method has been used to analyze and explain both vocabulary and authorship of related studies in the entire network. In the initial phase of the methodology, data was retrieved from the Scopus database, followed by stages of refining concepts, and ultimately, the conclusive data was scrutinized utilizing algorithms grounded in social network analysis through VOSviewer software.

The findings revealed that among 93 scholarly works and 191 authors, countries like South Africa, England, and the United States exhibited the highest number of publications, with scholars such as Madziohendila, Van Niekerk, Asha, and Banda receiving notable references. Furthermore, the intellectual cluster associated with Chakwizera demonstrated the highest density within the network. Also, the results of this study showed that researches on integrated development planning have been carried out from different dimensions and in diverse and related ecosystems in such a way that it covers different levels and links from urban to rural spaces. Analysis of word co-occurrence also brought to light 6 distinct research clusters within the scope of integrated development planning studies, focusing on aspects like comprehensiveness, urban planning, local governance, participation, sustainable development, and spatial justice.

The insights garnered from scrutinizing the knowledge network and visualizing its structure in this study could potentially yield significant advancements in adopting a comprehensive, rational, and expert-driven approach to socio-political planning, thereby opening up new avenues for further study and implementation.

Starting October 2018, Twitter removed thousands of users attributed to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Bangladesh, Catalonia, Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Spain. In its last effort, on February 2021 Twitter released data from 238 deleted users attributed to Iran, while the data was collected on December 2020. The reason behind this deletion was claimed as Iran's attempts at affecting the 2020 US Presidential Elections.This article will review the mechanical and human methods used for creation and distribution of fake news and also the mechanical methods for recognizing such content. Then the data from 238 removed users attributed to Iran up to December 2020 was first processed using scripts written with Python and finally analyzed for Social Network Analysis using the Kumu visualization tool. Nodes and edges show that there is in fact strong relations within removed users. Analysis of user langauges and profile bios showed that kost of the removed users claimed to not be from Iran and some had political tweets regarding the US Presidential Elections.

Due to the importance of innovation ecosystems in the global economic circle, the absorptive capacity concept is important in Iran, too. Sharif University of Technology is important in establishing innovation clusters, because of its scientific status, access to knowledge resources, and being close to various industries and factories. It also provides a platform for the flow of knowledge between academic and business fields.

Sharif University of Technology is a pioneer in establishing a cluster platform for start-ups and accelerators. The growth of innovation clusters is a current policy focus in many countries. This article examines and analyzes the absorption capacity of the ecosystem. The primary variable is the measurement of knowledge flows within clusters, while the ability of units to utilize these knowledge flows is another crucial factor. Knowledge flow and the capacity to leverage it are vital inputs for fostering innovative approaches within the cluster. Although the analysis of absorptive capacity has traditionally focused on individual companies without considering the geographical context and external knowledge connections, this approach has often overlooked the external role of companies. Consequently, the effectiveness of knowledge within each organization has been neglected.

In this study, In this respect, the role of technology sectors of the Sharif University Innovation Ecosystem regarding knowledge communication and their cognitive position will be explored. The absorption capacity and models of knowledge connection between technology sectors in the innovation cluster are tested by identifying and extracting the role of each sector of the innovation cluster to use the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method. As the absorptive capacity of technological fields is conducive to their innovative performance, detecting and fostering the knowledge flow between such fields ways is essential to develop the innovative platform of innovation clusters, which, in turn, aims at investigating the current situation in terms of the dimensions of absorptive capacity, namely acquisition, adaptation, transfer, and exploitation in the innovation cluster's scope and its external environment. It picks out and exploits the cognitive stance of every field of technology based on the communication of knowledge. Thus, it will be spotting the input to everyone and the output from it, the types of communication, and the types of knowledge interactions with the outside entities. All these interactions result in roles such as technology gatekeepers, stars, and isolates.

The absorption capacity model has been identified by extracting the role of each technology field from within and outside the cluster utilizing the social network analysis method by computing the degree of knowledge input, output, and intermediateness. Through expert opinions and a literature review, the improvement solutions of the knowledge network have been identified and are presented as part of a transition mechanism to enhance the condition.

The results show that the Americas, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa contributed to 1575, 1005, 486, 227 and 172 scientific productions, respectively. The United States was the most influential country, and Stanford, Northwestern, and Harvard universities were the most productive, influential, and most cooperative, respectively. The area of business economics has had the most participation in studies. The keywords gender, leadership, and women were the most frequently used keywords in the study of continents. Coword pairs of Gender-Leadership, Leadership-Women, and Gender-Women were the most frequently used keywords pairs on five continents. In the American Studies “Gender, Women's Leadership, Performance, Organizations, and Behavior”, in the European Studies “Gender, Women, Stereotypes, Education, Employment, and Risk”, in the Asian Studies “Gender, Women, Management, Employment, Work, and Culture”, in Oceanic studies "Gender, Women, Stereotypes, Power, and Management", and in African studies “Gender, Leadership, Women, Management, Employment and Education”, were hot topics. American researchers focuse on leadership performance and behavior/women leaders in general, European researchers focuse on women leadership in education, Asian, Oceanic and African researchers focuse on women management in careers and education. Identifying hot topics paves the way for more investment in women's growth and development for leadership positions in governments and organizations.

The phenomena, through which, a person knows himself and others is an identity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the situation and analyze identity networks of youths from different ethnicities as well as to understand their complexities and priorities. Highlighting these networks can help us understand the identity patterns of Iranian teenagers. As such, the identity elements of youths have been investigated based on the compositional theoretical framework. In this research, a quantitative approach was taken using a survey technique and the data collection tool was a questionnaire. The statistical population consisted of youths in the cities of Zahedan, Ahvaz, Urmia, Sanandaj and Gorgan. In this study, the statistical sample includes 2000 people. After collecting the data, SPSS, AMOS and UCINET software were used and the dimensions of identity were drawn in the form of tables and graphs. With reference to the analysis of the network of identity resources of youths, it can be said that civic identity is not related to the rest of identity resources, and this lack of connection includes the structures within the range of national identity as well as the remaining structures of identity dimensions. Referring to this issue, it seems that cultural structures play an infrastructural and fundamental role in identifying adolescence, and the behavioral, historical and political dimensions of identity are influenced by culture and since the culture element is motivational, cognitive and behavioral; it is the main factor of communication between all identity domains of a person.

Science visualization techniques can give us better understanding of the structure and patterns of scientific activities.

The analysis of the findings revealed that the thematic network of Iranian sociology has high coherence and the topics of women's studies and religion are the main topics in the Iranian sociology, and based on the indicators of the network analysis, it has high betweenness centrality. To enhance the diversity of Iranian sociology more focus should be placed on neglected areas such as sports sociology medical sociology, and rural sociology. It is important that the scientific network of sociology articles be visualized in future studies. To track changes in publication themes over time. sociological journals could also consider publishing special issues on the neglected fields highlighted in this paper.

The contemporary tourism industry is undergoing a transformative phase due to factors such as increased global travel, improved infrastructure, and widespread adoption of digital technology. This exponential growth has turned the tourism sector into a suitable platform for emerging developments. Understanding user behavior has become a crucial factor for businesses in the tourism industry to attract audiences, enhance satisfaction, and ensure loyalty. However, there is a significant lack of comprehensive research in this field, which poses challenges for data-driven decision-making and alignment with evolving perspectives. This paper utilizes social network analysis to examine and analyze the communication network of Iranian tourism websites and understand the consumer behavior of Iranian users towards tourism services. The study identifies eight distinct communities of tourism websites: ticket and tour purchasing forums, accommodations (hotels), online taxi services, accommodations (suites and cabins), food and cooking, location-based services, bus tickets and international tours, and migration. Through analyzing the relationships between these communities, valuable insights into mutual communication and communication patterns in the tourism ecosystem are presented. These findings contribute to facilitating sustainable and innovative future pathways by providing practical insights and policy recommendations for industry stakeholders.

The global film industry has witnessed increased collaboration and international investment in recent years. However, a comprehensive analysis of joint investments in this domain is lacking. This study employs social network analysis (SNA) to examine collaboration opportunities and joint investments in the film industry. A network consisting of 150 countries based on shared creative themes in their film productions was constructed, comprising over 7,800 connections. Utilizing centrality measures, key countries such as the United States, China, and the United Kingdom were identified as influential hubs with strong potential to drive industry growth through partnerships.Further analysis through community detection unveiled distinct thematic clusters united by collaborative creative efforts. For instance, the "Global Thrill Seekers" community creates action films, while the "Cultural-Social Cinema" group deals with global cultural and social issues. Each community presents unique perspectives for international collaboration and co-production. This analysis provides valuable insights into the structure and dynamics of the global film network, while highlighting potential avenues for future investments and collaboration. This research underscores the importance of utilizing SNA techniques to optimize decision-making regarding joint investments and predicting outcomes, serving as a model for data-driven participation analysis in creative industries.

The aerospace industry and technology are always considered one of the most important and valuable industries due to their special and unique features and applications. The field of aerospace research is a priority in the grand strategies of science and technology development, and it is essential to focus on it. Aerospace researchers and experts play critical roles in advancing aerospace science and industry. They are responsible for conducting scientific and industrial activities as well as research. Evaluating the research performance and quality of aerospace researchers at the international level is crucial. The current research aims to study scientometrics and analyze the centrality metrics of the co-authorship network of aerospace researchers at the international level. This will be done using data available on the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC).

The research conducted is of an applied nature, employing an analytical approach. In this article, the technique of network analysis has been employed to visualize the network of co-authorship at both the micro and macro levels. This includes analyzing the social network of co-authorship among researchers and their organizations, as well as examining centrality indicators and conducting network analysis of researchers' research topics. The current research community includes all aerospace researchers, with 153,994 records indexed on the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from 1945 to 2021. There are 161,156 aerospace researchers, of which 6,706 were anonymous and were excluded from the research population. Therefore, 154,450 researchers were included in the study. Data Lab was used to accurately extract data for aerospace researchers. Ravar PreMap was also used to standardize data and prepare a square matrix for researchers. The symmetric correlation matrix of researchers (AU) was obtained using Bibexcel and Netdraw. Then, the required centralities were calculated. Co-authorship maps were also created using NetDraw. Co-authorship network analysis technique was used for data analysis. A 157×157 matrix was considered to identify keywords that appeared with a frequency of 70 or more. This matrix was used to create a network of commonly researched topics among researchers. VOSviewer version 1.6.18 was used to visualize co-authorship networks.

The density of the co-authorship network among aerospace researchers is low, and the network exhibits low cohesion. In the current research, five clusters of collaboration were identified, with the center consisting of prominent researchers in the field of aerospace. "David A. Fulghum" of the Maritime Center in America published 863 articles in the field of aerospace between 1983 and 2003. "Florian Menter" from Ensys Germany has the highest number of citations (excluding self-citations) for published articles in the aerospace field. Out of 87,778 keywords identified in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSC C) in aerospace, 9712 were associated with Florian Menter. Additionally, a map was prepared using 157 keywords that had a frequency of 70 or more. The co-word clusters of the aerospace network consist of seven topic clusters, 157 nodes, 2679 edges, and have a density of 0.11. The first cluster was a hot topic discussed in the aerospace industry, and the most frequently mentioned topic, "Aircraft," is associated with cluster 3. The most prominent topics are aerodynamics, flight control, and vibrations. The most significant scientific collaboration of aerospace researchers is between Giovanni Mengali and Alessandro A. Quarta from the University of Pisa, Italy. The most scientific advancements in aerospace research have been published in the fields of aerodynamics, flight mechanics, control, and vibrations. After the United States, China had the most scholarly communications with other countries.

It is also used in the planning and direction of applied research, as well as in the application of research conducted by aerospace scientific associations, universities, research institutes, and aerospace industry organizations. Additionally, the results obtained from this research can be used to expand international cooperation among aerospace researchers. Another application of the results presented in this article is the optimal utilization of experts and meticulous planning for the establishment and growth of specialized clusters of aerospace researchers. Prominent aerospace researchers have facilitated the establishment of scientific collaborations and significant partnerships at the international level. Nevertheless, in order to establish stronger and more cohesive scientific collaboration networks, it is essential to prioritize the exploration of potential connections among researchers, research centers, universities, and countries, as well as their synergistic capabilities.

This study analyzed the trust network among the forest and pasture users of  Naghareh Koub village in Ghaleh Shahin watershed of Sarpol Zahab Township. Parallel mixed method was used for this study. The statistical population was forest and pasture users of Naghareh Koub village, Ghaleh Shahin watershed, Sarpol Zahab Township (534 people), who were randomly selected according to Karjesi and Morgan’s table (223 people). Then, using the whole network approach and the snowball technique, 39 users were selected. Structured interviews and network analysis questionnaire were used for collecting the data. The indices of density, size, transmission, ambidexterity, centrality and concepts of intersection points and structural holes were studied. The data were analyzed using UCINET and NetDraw, and SPSS software. The results showed that the level of trust among local users was an average level, and among the types of trust, communication trust and procedural trust were more than other types of trust, and the lowest type of trust was dispositional trust. In the trust network with low density, the stability of the network (reciprocity) is average and fewer people are connected through intermediaries (weak transmission); therefore, the balance of the network is weak and information circulation in the network is medium to low. The results confirmed the high percentage of concentration in internal links compared to external links. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively manage conflicts in this area by forming a balanced and stable network of trust and considering key actors.

 Editorial Board Metrics (EBM) is used to determine the performance, effectiveness, and role of editorial board members and journal editors in policymaking and designing a roadmap for the future of journals. This study analyzed and evaluated indexed journals in health sciences, biological sciences, arts, and humanities using EBM.

 Social Network Analysis (SNA) was used to visualize the interconnections of editorial board members and journals. For this purpose, centrality indices were used, including degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality. Data analysis was performed in two descriptive and inferential sections for editorial board members (2813 individuals) and journals (200 journals) using statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, mean, Kendall's Tau-b coefficient, Chi-square test, and software such as UCINET, SPSS, Net Draw, and Python.

 The research findings on the status of the impact factor of journals indicate that in the field of humanities and arts, the "Journal of Applied Issues in Islamic Education" with 1.095 has the highest impact factor. In the field of health sciences, "Iranian Journal of Ageing (Salmand)- Waiting List" with 0.446 has the highest impact factor, and in the field of biological sciences, "Plant Genetic Researches - Primary List" with 0.37 has the highest impact factor in each subject area. Some journals in the fields of humanities and arts have a high self-citation rate, including journals that have over 80% self-citation in the field of humanities and arts, such as "The Journal of Nahjolbalagheh" (77.80%) and "Journal of Kurdish Literature" and "Persian Language and Iranian Dialects" (100%). Ahad Faramarz Gharamaleki (Professor at the University of Tehran) and Mohammad Hassan Ghadrdan Gharamaleki (Professor at the Institute of Culture and Islamic Thought) have the highest level of interlocking (frequency 5). Of 368 individuals with co-authorship, 333 are male, and 35 are female. Regarding academic rank, the "Professor" with 71.76% and "the Associate Professor" with 15.48% have the highest share in the editorial board community.

 Of the 2,813 individuals who collaborated in 200 journals, 368 editorial board members had to interlock. The results indicate a significant negative relationship between the impact factor and the interlocking of the social science research journals and between the number of citations received by journals and their interlocking. Furthermore, there is a correlation between a rise in journal quartiles and a decrease in interlocking. According to the results, the number of journal quartiles is a significant negative predictor of interlocking. The Immediacy Index (II) of journals, the Median Impact Factor (MIF) in the macro subject, the number of articles, and the self-citation index are not significant predictors of interlocking. Considering the role of editorial board members in the development and quality improvement of journals through reviewing and selecting topics, the effort to form more diverse editorial boards with less interlocking will not only bring more diverse research output to the publishing world, deposit; which will create a positive competitive environment with a broader range of votes.

Based on the findings of the study, In order to Institutionalize culture of entrepreneurship, sustainable developing and social responsibility, more and more effective interaction with the aforementioned institutions is necessary , Using regulatory normative and cultural-cognitive processes are effective steps in success and development of the organization.

Background and objective:

 This study aims to analyze the network governance of safety and disaster management in Tehran by examining the laws of the fourth development plan and emphasizing the participation of key actors, including government institutions, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and local communities using social network analysis.

Method:

 In this study, 22 laws with 101 issues were extracted from the fourth development plan, and 47 involved organizations, including 26 internal institutions of Tehran Municipality and 21 external institutions involved in the safety and disaster management program in the areas of transportation/traffic, urban safety/worn-out fabric, cultural/social issues, and intelligentization/management improvement were evaluated. The organizations and institutions were considered as the rows and columns of the governance network matrix, and the number of times of cooperation between organizations and institutions was considered as the entries of cells of the matrix. The matrix of actors’ cooperation network was analyzed based on the degree centrality, betweenness centrality, geodesic distance, density and cohesion.

Results:

 The results of the analysis of the governance system of Tehran city showed the planners’ belief in participatory governance for solving the safety and disaster management issues of the city. However, the participation of citizens, local communities, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector requires improvement and expansion of legal cooperation such that the lack of transparency in determining the roles, responsibilities, and powers of external institutions of Tehran Municipality, such as executive, legislative and supervisory institutions, and absence of policies for facilitating and encouraging the participation of private sector, economic institutions, universities, scientific and research centers, local communities and citizens need to be addressed by legislators and planners. They should support the network governance in solving disaster management issues in Tehran.

Conclusion :

The recommendations for improving the governance system of disaster management in Tehran for balancing the distribution of legal power among the responsible institutions and actors of Tehran’s safety and disaster management program include: Strengthening the cooperation of municipal and inter-institutional actors to solve key issues of safety and disaster management; strengthening the communication network and continuously exploiting the capacity of academic elites and consultants; strengthening the mechanisms for the participation of citizens, non-governmental organizations and the private sector; rising awareness and strengthening citizens’ trust in safety and disaster management programs using social media, developing incentive policies to utilize the capacity and participation of knowledge-based organizations and new and creative firms in solving safety and disaster management issues; developing incentive policies for the participation of managers and employees; strengthening the legal communication of financial and economic institutions and financing projects; and transparency and accountability of responsible institutions.

Introduction :

Lack of integration in the urban management system, dilapidated and inefficient urban fabric, expansion of marginalization and bad housing, unsafe buildings, expansion of construction violations and inefficiency and lack of deterrence of crimes, lack of urban services and infrastructure in the peri-urban space and similar cases are among challenges and issues of urban planning and architecture of the country’s metropolises. The Consultative Assembly of the Heads of Urban Planning and Architecture Commissions of Metropolitan Cities and Provincial Centers is a non-governmental and independent institution that aims to create a cooperation network and platform for exchanging experiences and making joint decisions to better fulfill the provisions of the Law on Councils and the missions of urban planning and architecture approved in the documents and to fulfill effective participation in policies, planning, and preparation of urban plans. The present research is based on the analysis of the network of issues raised in the two meetings of the consultative assembly of the heads of the urban planning and architecture commissions of the metropolises and the centers of the provinces of the country and recording the experiences of the heads of the meeting, based on the design of a learning process in practice to identify the strategic presuppositions of the priority issues.

For this purpose, the themes raised in the two meetings of the heads of the urban planning and architecture commissions were examined. Subjects raised in two meetings: jump in housing production; urban regeneration (renovation and revival of worn out and inefficient urban fabric); urban regeneration (renovation and revival of historical and cultural context); the privacy of cities; construction violations; real estates with a  promissory note and no official document; issues of new cities; urban smartening; unsafe buildings; urban resilience and urban crisis management; architecture and urban planning patterns; governance and integrated urban management; city economy and sustainable city income sources; sustainable urban development plans; public and private rights in urban development; urban vitality; real estate and land use; vulnerable groups; issuance of permits and building permits; specialized knowledge of architecture and urban planning were identified. After extracting the thematic axes and issues, according to the intertwining of the issues, the network of issues to find key issues using the Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach based on the input and output degree centrality indicators using the software Ucinet and Net Draw were analyzed. According to the results of the analysis of the problem network, the problems with the highest output degree centrality in the problem network were considered key problems.

By the findings of the analysis of the network, seven key issues include: not using the legal capacities to renew the worn-out and inefficient urban fabric; the spread of construction violations and the inefficiency and lack of deterrence of crimes; lack of integration in the urban management system; violation of urban planning rules and regulations of urban development plans and large-scale change of use; lack of urban services and infrastructure in the peri-urban area; the aggravation of urban crises (water crisis, environmental crises, earthquake, and subsidence) and lack of attention to the capacities within the urban context were identified in the housing production jump plan. In the following, the strategic assumptions of each of the problems according to the background investigation as well as the strategic themes of the statistics and the design of the questionnaire using the methodology of phenomenology and testing of strategic assumptions (SAST), Strategic issues of key issues based on the level of importance and the level of certainty of the correctness of the default were identified with the participation of rating experts and the certain planning region. As an example of the strategic presuppositions of the problem of not using the legal capacities to renew the worn and inefficient urban fabric in the secure planning area, including incentive policies for empowering and improving, and renovating the worn and inefficient urban fabrics, the requirement of municipalities to enter to the category of urban regeneration and fulfilling the legal duties listed in clauses 14 and 21 of municipalities and activating urban regeneration working groups; providing incentives and facilities for residential uses and commercial buildings for administrative, medical and public services located in worn-out urban contexts and examining the experiences of developing countries in facing worn-out and inefficient urban contexts as agreed upon by the heads of urban planning and architecture commissions. Regarding other critical issues, the partially agreed solution of the heads of urban planning and architecture commissions was presented.

The proposed hybrid approach is an application of complexity management in analyzing the network of problems and revealing the strategies agreed upon by the stakeholders involved, and its efficiency has been presented in the issues raised by the consultative assembly of the heads of the commission for urban planning and architecture of metropolitan cities. In future research, it is suggested that the researchers should form an intervention in the action process during the meeting of the heads of the urban planning and architecture commissions. Discussions should take place in a structured way among the members of the assembly and finally, the summary of the meeting should be presented with attention to problem-oriented learning in practice. In addition, by focusing on the critical issues and strategic assumptions in future research, it is suggested to analyze the stakeholders of the problem and strategies and the strategy implementation mechanism by referring to the stakeholders and determining the roles and limits of duties and responsibilities. Each of the key stakeholders should be provided with a basis for planning to solve the problems and respond to the stakeholders.

Conducting research with a theoretical contribution, reviewing the theoretical background without bias, and identifying emerging research areas are one of the most important concerns of every researcher in conducting academic research. The abundance of useless and scientifically worthless research in the country doubles the need to pay attention to these issues. One of the existing strategies to solve these problems is the approach of academic social networks analysis. Considering research areas as social structures, these networks are drawn based on bibliometric criteria such as co-citation, citation, bibliographic pairing, co-occurrence of vocabulary, and co-authorship, each of which has its uses and are used to answer special questions. In this article, the approach to social networks analysis will be introduced first, and then the bibliometric criteria used in drawing these networks will be examined. It is also stated that each of the drawn networks is suitable for answering what questions. Then, the step-by-step stages of implementing a social network analysis are introduced. Also, the most important databases used to collect the necessary meta-data are introduced and some existing tools to analyze and illustrate academic social networks are briefly reviewed. Examples of applications of this approach are also shown.     In order to conduct academic social network analysis, a 5-step process must be performed. In the first step, the research design should be determined. The analysis is done to answer what questions and what method is suitable to answer those questions. In the second step, it is necessary to collect bibliographic data. First, you have to choose the right database and then, by choosing the right search keywords in a specific time frame, search and collect the necessary metadata for network drawing and analysis. In the third step, the collected data should be analyzed. In this step, the appropriate bibliographic software should be selected and the data should be prepared for analysis. Illustration of the networks is done in the fourth step, in which the appropriate method and tool of the illustration should be determined by the researcher. In the final step, the drawn networks should be described and interpreted.     Each of the networks drawn by metadata collected from scientific databases has a specific application. Citation networks are used to identify the most important and influential works, authors, and publications. Also, based on the citation networks drawn based on the timeline, it is possible to identify the development process of a research field, its theoretical foundation, and theoretical fields affecting the research field. Co-citation networks that are drawn based on the cited references of the selected documents provide the most relevant sources for research. Also, the clusters obtained from this analysis show the historical streams of the research field. The bibliographic coupling networks which are the reverse of co-citation examine the cited documents and the clusters obtained from them showing the contemporary streams of the research field under investigation. Co-authorship networks are a measure of cooperation between authors, institutions, publications, and countries. Word co-occurrence networks identify important themes in a domain, and as a content analysis technique, they are the only network that uses the actual content of documents. The output of the word co-occurrence network is a network of themes and shows the conceptual space of a field.      Conducting targeted and useful research is one of the important issues faced by researchers and students, especially graduate students who have to conduct research in the form of a thesis or dissertation. From choosing new topics to reviewing literature and theoretical background in an appropriate way, all of them are problems that researchers have to overcome, and in this way, they need a clear strategy and roadmap. The social network analysis approach based on bibliographic criteria is one of the strategies proposed to help solve these problems. The analysis of academic social networks that are formed based on bibliographic criteria such as citation, co-citation, co-authorship, word co-occurrence, and bibliographic coupling, by adding an objective and quantitative accuracy, reduces the consequences of personal reviews and subjective biases of researchers and It helps to get a more comprehensive understanding of research areas. Each of these networks is suitable for answering specific questions. Using the approach of social network analysis can have a significant help in guiding researchers in conducting targeted research. The use of this method helps researchers, especially newcomers to a field, to get a better understanding of that field, get acquainted with important sources for study, and helps them determine their research position and advance research flows in a specific field. For this reason, getting familiar with this approach and using it is one of the topics that researchers and higher education institutions should pay attention to in order to reduce the amount of aimless and useless research.

Urban development has affected the quantitative and qualitative decline of water resources. Due to the high subsidence in the southwest of Tehran (about 25 cm per year) because of groundwater depletion and bad water resources management, the Kan basin was considered as a case study. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and explain the position of institutional stakeholders in water resources and cycle management and urban development of the geography of the catchment area from a social perspective and the role of water-sensitive urban design in resolving inter-institutional conflicts.

In this paper, first, urban geography will be studied from the perspective of stakeholder analysis. Then, by studying and presenting a framework, changes in the position of stakeholders in an urban environment over time are investigated. The conflicts between stakeholders in urban geography will be studied regarding the management and engineering of urban water resources. Stakeholder Analysis (SA) and Likert scale (1-5), stakeholders' position and Social Network Analysis (SNA) in Gephi software, institutional relationships' type, and intensity were estimated.

The SA results showed that the power and interest parameters of the Tehran Regional Water Authority (4.026 and 4.282) and Tehran Municipality (3.42 and 3.78) were higher than the other organizations. Besides, the proximity of the values of these two institutions with different utilities indicates a potential conflict. The results of SNA also showed that in the cooperation network, the highest and lowest degrees (Degree) have the Tehran Water and Waste Water Co. and the Tehran Municipality, respectively, which indicates the low interaction of development institutions, especially the Tehran Municipality. Also, in the conflict network, Tehran Regional Water Authority, and Tehran Municipality have the highest degree, and Roads and Urban Development and Health and Medical Education Authority have the lowest degree. Therefore, the high inter-institutional conflict between municipal development and regional water protection institutions indicates the actualization of the conflict ground that was potentially identified with the SA approach.

In this paper, the conflicts between stakeholders in urban geography are studied regarding the management and engineering of urban water resources. Then, using a case study, namely the western part of Tehran, some of the most important conflicts in an urban environment are identified using social network analysis. In other words, in this study, the reasons for the conflict between developing and protecting stakeholders in an urban environment using stakeholder analysis are presented, social network analysis is considered to identify and determine the level of conflict, and Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)- based approaches are introduced as an essential approach not only to solve the physical problems related to urban water cycle but also as a conflict resolution tool in an urban area. The applicability of the presented approach is studied in the western part of the Tehran metropolitan.
