A city requires city brand and appropriate strategies for beneficiaries, especially tourists; hence, city development plans can affect the type of city brand orientations. Accordingly, this study was conducted to identify the effective factors to design structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM was employed to rank the factors and find the correlation between them using Forner-Larcker Matrix. This was an applied-correlational study in which, data were collected through convergent mixed methodology, library study, questionnaire, and Semi-structured interviews. Birjand was chosen as the research field and a statistical sample was chosen at descriptive statistics using purposive and snowball sampling methods. Accordingly, 19 subjects were selected from urban experts, and 381 tourists were chosen at the quantitative step using simple random sampling. findings obtained from interviews implied that some points should be considered for the city branding of Birjand. The factors include the significant militarily and academic impact of Birjand on historical aspect and service-based economy of the city, cultural capitals, and the arts that are forgetting, immigration, and implementing the development-driving plans. The research model indicated that city development plans had the highest positive effects on the landscape and mental image regarding city branding plans. Moreover, According to the correlation between components, the highest relationship was between mental image and landscape (0.66).

The process of physical evolution in many cities shows a definite relationship between socio-economic currents and forces and management processes and its physical expansion. According to this attitude, the present study investigates the role of various forces and factors in the physical expansion of Fasa city in the period after the revolution to the early 80s, during which the physical expansion and rapid and unparalleled spatial changes in the city occurred. The main structure of the research is based on qualitative research method and data collection has been done in the form of documentary methods, interviews and field observations. Findings show that in the city of Fasa in the desired period, about 996.6 hectares have been added to the city area.

Using a mixed-method approach, this study aimed to illuminate the effect of city-development plans, as the most fundamental city-shaping instrument, on the realization of a city brand based on the citizens’ perceptions and mental preferences. Then, it develops a structural equation model after recognizing the effective components through employing an exploratory research design. For this reason, 5 criteria, 8 sub-criteria, and 14 indices were investigated, and their relevant data were collected. Birjand was chosen as the research field and a statistical sample was chosen at descriptive statistics using purposive and snowball sampling methods. Accordingly, 19 subjects were selected from urban experts, and 383 citizens were chosen at the quantitative step using simple random sampling. The research model indicated that urban development plans had the highest positive effects on the vitality and migration regarding urban branding plans. According to the correlation between components, the highest relationship was between migration and vitality (0.87), marketing, and vitality (0.849), and the lowest relationship was associated with the mutual effect between marketing and environmental equity (0.633).
