The purposes of this study was to evaluate the sustainability level of tourism development and to determine the levels of tourism sustainability in tourism life cycle process in tourism target villages of Miami city in Semnan province for planning appropriate tourism in the village. This is an applied and descriptive analytical study. Questionnaire (and interview) were used to collect the required data (questionnaire and interview). Level of analysis of village research and unit of analysis: village leaders and village councils are managers and local experts. The results show that the tourism development in the villages studied is not uniform at all. In some villages, such as Nardin and Foroumd between the dimensions surveyed, the sociology-cultural dimension is better maintained and in the villages. Others, such as Nick's name and SHad Plain's environmental dimension, are also better sustainable The overviews of sustainable tourism life cycle evolution were presented based on Allen Butler's integrated approach and suggested strategies, policies and projects for tourism target villages.

Identifying and studying facilities and determining the levels of rural sustainability are the first step in the process of rural planning and development. Today, given the importance of sustainability in development, determining the levels of rural sustainability is unnecessary. In this regard, the use of rural development indicators to achieve the desired goal can be considered. Accordingly, in this article, we have evaluated the sustainability of tourism development in the sample villages of Borujen city. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and methodological descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The required information was gathered based on documentary and field studies (questionnaire). To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics and non-statistical methods (Barometr of Sustainability Radar) were used. The results revealed that the development of rural tourism in the studied villages is generally at the average level of sustainability. The social dimension had a better stability among the other studied dimensions.  Significant differences were found between the studied villages. In general, the Averghan village had the highest and Katak village had the lowest score among other villages.

One of the most important reflections of contemporary urbanization is the emergence and spread of harmful neighborhoods in the center or around cities.These settlements can be considered as forgotten and unplanned parts in comparison with other urban settlements, which are highly sustainable in terms of sustainability The aim of this study is to determine the level of stability of informal settlements in Ardebil and prioritize them for future planning. It has been done. The current research is applied in terms of descriptive-analytical method. The required information was collected through library and field studies. The statistical community of the 15 informal settlements in the city of Ardabil.To analyze the data, Excel software and SPSS software were used and using the barometric model, the stability of the stability levels of the target areas was determined and finally maps were mapped for better representation using ArcGIS software.According to the results of the implementation of this model, the Salman Abad area with a score of (0.501) has a moderate sustainability and then the Kazemabad neighborhood (344/0), Islamabad (0.200) in the situation of potential instability and other neighborhoods The goal is in an unstable state.In general, target ecosystems average (0.21l) and human well-being (0.249) are at very low levels in terms of overall target well-being. Therefore, it can be concluded that the level of sustainability in these neighborhoods is not well-suited. Therefore, development plans are appropriate to the strengths and weaknesses of each neighborhood based on the sustainability levels of each of these settlements.

Urban development based on the principles of sustainable development has been one of the main concepts of urbanization in the last decade. The term sustainable urban development means providing the necessary grounds for the balanced and efficient utilization of urban resources so that all citizens can benefit from urban economic, social and environmental infrastructure in accordance with their needs. The aim of this research is to investigate the sustainability status in Tabriz metropolis. This is a descriptive-analytic research. The statistical population of this research is the inhabitants of all ten regions of Tabriz, and 500 individuals over 15 years old are selected as sample size using simple random sampling by the classified method. The validity of the questionnaire was verified by experts and the reliability of the different parts of the questionnaire obtained the score of 0.876 to 0.881 using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Fuzzy TOPSIS Method is used to evaluate the variables in order to assess the sustainability, the model of barometer sustainability is used. Also to infer and testability of data the statistical tests such as Anova test, T test and Tukey and Scheffe tests are used. Drawing of maps related to the stability of Tabriz urban areas has been done using GIS software. According to the results, region 8 is the most sustainable region and region 3 is the most unstable region. Also, all 10 regions of Tabriz with sustainability value of 0.591 are in medium sustainability status. The status of the regions in terms of human welfare and ecosystem well-being was also equal to 0.548 and 0.515 respectively. The results of T and Anova tests also showed that according to the sustainability barometric results, physical, social, economic and environmental dimensions are of the most importance respectively. Tukey and Scheffe tests also demonstrated the stability gap between different dimensions of sustainability. Finally, according to the findings of the research and taking into account the situation of the tens of ten regions of Tabriz, practical suggestions are presented in accordance with different dimensions of sustainable urban development.

1. It is not possible to develop tourism activities in rural areas without an attention to sustainability concepts and related discussions. Tourism development in these areas perse leads to nowhere and in this way, rural tourism will encounter many challenges and obstacles. Iran is among the countries which addresse sustainable development of rural areas in the wake of tourism development and in recent years, various policies and programs (the country comprehensive plan of tourism development, defining special tourism areas, etc.) have been planned in this regard. Defining target villages for tourism is of governmental activities to fade deprivation, exploit possible abilities of deprived areas, particularly villages, and stablish developmental initiatives in line with policies specified in the twenty-year vision plan. Of the above-mentioned villages are target villages for tourism in Sepidan county (in Fars province) which due to their special weather conditions, are among the most important and attractive tourism areas of Fars province and attract huge inter- and extra-provincial tourists in leisure times and vacations. Meanwhile, evaluating development of tourism sustainability is an important and essential subject matter, because achieving sustainable development of tourism destinations entails a comprehensive understanding of sustainability status of tourism destinations and so, tourism development of rural areas follows the same rule. In better words, evaluating tourism sustainability in target villages seems to be unavoidable since the knowledge of tourism sustainability and their aspects in these areas could shed light on matters decision makers and other stakeholders in this field come up with. So, our main goal in the present study is evaluating sustainability level of tourism development of target villages of Sepidan county and answering to three questions as follows: a) At which sustainability level, the tourism development of target villages could be assessed? b) What is the difference of sustainable tourism from the perspective of residents and local officials? c) What is the difference of sustainable development between target villages of Sepidan County?
2. This study is practical in objective and descriptive-analytical in accomplishment. Our data have been collected via library and survey methods and the latter was based on questionnaires. Our study area involves six target villages for tourism in Sepidan County including Deh Kohne, Behreghan, Roudbal, Margun, Kahkaran and Kamher. Our statistical population were residents and local officials. In this study, we specified indices and indicators through Delphi method and the views of scholars. In order to analyze data we used statistical methods (descriptive and inferential statistics) and also non-statistical methods (sustainability barometer and sustainability radar).
3. Sustainability status of tourism development of the studied villages shows that the overall sustainability score was 0.532 which was 0.513 in the residents’ views and was 0.552 in the local officials’ views. Among the triple aspects, social and cultural aspects having the same score of 0.582, had the most sustainability level and bio-environmental aspect was found to be the lowest level of sustainability with the score of 0.469 which shows the undesirable status of bio-environmental aspect of tourism development. In this regard, studying views of the two groups separately shows that the maximum and minimum of sustainability level respectively belong to the economic and the bio-environmental aspects in residents’ points of view and the maximum and minimum of sustainability level respectively belong to the social-cultural and the economic aspects in local officials’ points of view.
4. Our results based on barometer method shows that tourism development of the studied villages has an average level of sustainability which by the triple aspects, social-cultural aspect has a better status of sustainability than the other two aspects i.e. the economic and the bio-environmental aspects. Evaluating sustainability by the main studied indices also shows that maximum and minimum level of sustainability belong to the index of the satisfaction from tourism development and also of the bio-environmental awareness. Another result of our study concerns the level of sustainability of tourism development in each of the studied villages which shows that Margun village has the maximum score and Behraghan village has the minimum score of sustainability of tourism development and in total of six target villages for tourism, three villages(Kamhar, Kahkaran and Behraghan) were assessed as unsustainable in the spectrum of sustainability level and the other three villages which were assessed as sustainable by level as follows: weak sustainability(Deh Kohne), average sustainability(Roudball) and good sustainability(Margun village). In this regard, we concluded that for any of the triple aspects of sustainability of tourism development there is a significant difference between the target villages for tourism in Sepidan county, in these villages, tourism development has an average level of sustainability and there is also a huge difference between these villages in terms of tourism sustainability. So, we finally saw that it has not been taken due attention to the accomplishment of tourism sustainable development, its principles and objectives as it deserves to do so in rural areas of Iran, particularly in target villages for tourism. Our survey study also shows that this class of villages specified as target villages for tourism with the target of developing rural tourism, have involved in various but primary troubles which could face tourism development with many challenges. So, it demands a deeper scientific and executive vision and understanding in line with fulfilling sustainability paradigm generally in tourism development and in tourism development of target villages, in particular.

The necessity of a more sustainable approach has been widely highlighted by international resolutions and directives as a way to promote sustainable development in daily life activities Furthermore, spatial planning processes need support by specific instruments for evaluation that are able to analyze long term effects of the defined policies. This research tries to introduce a new approach to monitoring and evaluating of tourism activities in tourism rural destinations from TLCs point of views.This research is fundamental and research method is descriptive –analytic. This study is tried to analyze the tourism destination rurals in Ardabil province. In this article the Necessary data has been gathered by surveys and librarian methods.The study area consisted of four villages include boosinej, Ganzagh, Gazaj and Biledaragh. Statistical population of this study consisted of 3541 people (1388 households). The sample society (210 people) has been estimated by using of Cochran techniques. Households Samples selected by Systematic sampling and Tourists through simple random sampling. The results of this research shows the fact that the lack of a clear approach to in destinations of Ardabil led to placed our study villages in the early stages of their development. On the base of our finding in this research, we need to propose suitable strategy to the tourism destinations appropriate to the place of them in TLC.

The sustainability approach to development issues and its application to rural tourism have been adopted by many scholars concerning conservation of economy and environment. it is believed that tourism and recreation industry is increasingly becoming as an important component of the structure of rural communities and it thus indirectly considers rural sustainability. Tourism development in rural areas has implications whose undesirable impacts can lead to having unsustainable natural and human ecosystems in these areas. So, it is impossible to develop tourism activities disregarding sustainability issues. In this respect, it is noteworthy that tourism development requires assessing sustainability level and analyzing factors effective on sustainability and unsustainability of tourism and, in turn, requires a holistic and comprehensive approach. So, sustainable development of tourism is a holistic and integrated strategy arising in response to ineffectiveness of previous strategies and it is nowadays admitted as a fundamental approach to tourism development. So in this paper, we, accordingly, supposing sustainable development of tourism as our basic approach, consider assessing sustainability of tourism in rural areas of the central district of Damavand county in a mountainous area in north of Iran. This research is practical in scope and is descriptive and analytical in its method. The required data has been accomplished using library and field study methods that the latter one uses questionnaires as its basic tool. In this survey, we selected 6 villages as study sample and measures in this selection were villages having at least 50 households, numbers of populations, local administrations and spatial locations of villages. Statistical population in clouded local residents, local managers and tourists. In questionnaire method, we selected 180 householders (10 percent of total households’ population), 18 local managers (3 local managers or members of village council in every village) and 180 tourists as our sample size. We selected the indexes and indicators of tourism sustainability using Delphi method and according to scholars and specialists’ point of views. In order to analyze of data, we also used both statistical methods (descriptive and inferential statistics) and non-statistical methods including sustainability barometer and sustainability radar. Results attained about sustainability of tourism using barometer method in terms of the two macro-systems of human welfare and ecosystem welfare, show that the score for the index of human welfare is 0.404 and that for the index of ecosystem welfare is 0.338. It is suggested that in this research, the economic and sociocultural indexes are bigger than environmental indexes due to inappropriate impacts of tourism on environmental resources and their incurred pollutions. The score of sustainability of tourism for each village show that for human welfare index, the most and the least scores are respectively corresponded to Mosha and Hesar-e-Paein villages and for ecosystem welfare index, the most and the least scores are respectively corresponded in Ainehvarzan and Hesar-e-Paein villages. In general, the sustainable tourism in villages of Mosha, Sarbandan and Ainehvarzan has an average level, in village of Hesar-e-Paein has a low level and in villages Meray and Hesar-e-Paein villages has an unstable level. Also results show that in terms of sustainability status, there are significant differences between our case study villages. In this respect, it was known that distances of the villages from Tehran metropolis, their numbers of populations and the number of tourists in every are the factors influencing the levels of sustainability of tourism in such a way that the more distance from Tehran and the more number of tourists, the more amount of sustainability of tourism in the villages. Sustainable development of tourism is a new approach which introduced in the late 1980s in response of ineffectiveness of all previous approaches to tourism and it is nowadays one of prominent approaches attracted related specialists and planners. In this respect, undesirable impacts of tourism in rural areas have led to arising sustainable approach to rural tourism and explaining sustainability level and effective factors of tourism sustainability in this regard, is of high importance. So in this paper, we aimed at assessing tourism sustainability status in rural areas of central district of Damavand county and our results showed that sustainability of studied villages has a weak level. The studying sustainability status of each of indexes suggested that sustainability levels of all indexes are under the average level and indexes including income, investment and host community satisfaction have the most sustainability score respectively and that the index of land resources assigns the least sustainability level to itself. So we concluded that tourism development has, in some extent, sacrificed natural landscapes, wildlife and natural resources for constructions, land use, excessive resources exploitation by residents and uncontrolled constructions. In general, this study showed that there is no due attention paid to sustainability of tourism and there is a long road before to the sustainable tourism. It is thus necessary taking concrete measures in order to achieve sustainable tourism.Sustainable development of tourism is a new approach which introduced in the late 1980s in response of ineffectiveness of all previous approaches to tourism and it is nowadays one of prominent approaches attracted related specialists and planners.
