This research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of nature, descriptive and survey as well as analytical. The method of analyzing the information and data obtained from studying maps and converting them into basic logic systems, as well as data from interviews and questionnaires, was analyzed using Fairclough discourse analysis at three levels of description, interpretation and explanation. A model of discourse analysis is developed to redefine the concept of lifelikness(zendevari) in architecture. After examining the critical discourse and Fairclough theory in this case and the compatibility of the cases of this discourse with the issues of living layers in which there is a systematic view of architecture, we came to the conclusion that the traditional and modern model in Isfahan is not relevant. That it has been achieved in the right place and balance and naturalization is practically none of the traditional and modern models is the criterion for determining the architectural design and the most important thing is the discussion of context and context and finally naturalization and balance. And this shows the correctness of equilibrium and naturalization of these theories. So we came to the conclusion that the two can be compatible and be the criteria for determining the designer of a commercial complex.

Sustainable tourism as an adoptive paradigm, which could be conducive to sustainable development, associated with the local communities’ prosperity and wellbeing is the outcome of local and strategic management of social, environmental and economic resources. Sustainability is achieved by harmonizing the specific values, attitudes and knowledge of each target community. Management of natural resources additionally requires recognizing and considering the views of stakeholders and attitude of beneficiaries as the key component of decision making process. A complex of subjectivities, attitudes, opinions, meanings and representations concerning the oak forests, tourism development and rural area must be identified to achieve comprehensive understanding and assessing of function and sustainably implement of tourism. In order to contextualization of this diversity at the local level, the Q methodology was used that showed be appropriate approach for interpretation and discrimination of existing discourses. Three distinct discourses were identified. The "sustainable rural ecotourism development discourse", is characterized by an unambiguously positive view of tourism and positive aspects of the economic effects of it at the local scale, without paying attention to its macro dimensions and negative effects. "Conservation discourse incompatible with tourism development" has a great emphasis on the dimensions of environmental protection and the possible negative effects of tourism development in natural areas, due to its focus on the protection of forest ecological areas, it does not agree with the development of forest-based tourism, and development of tourism beyond the regional concerns is pivotal in "trans-local mass tourism development discourse", with the aim of getting out from national economic crisis, were identified.

With the outbreak of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Islamic ideological discourse as the most important element in the discursive field of the discourse of modernism was able to articulate with other sub-discourses and according to its capabilities, credibility and populism was able to bring the transcendence of their discourse to the foreground in comparison with the dominant discourse and especially in relation to rival discourses. This new discourse with the creation of a new ideal space emerged as a discourse of hegemony and created a dominant political construction in this period in the history of Iran. What further led to the hegemony of this Islamic ideological discourse over rival discourses, along with Ayatollah Khomeinichr('39')s charisma, was the adoption of a strategy right under the guise of a policy of solidarity between different groups in the sense that Laclau and Mouffe envisioned. It signifies the creation of an organic alliance between groups, parties, organizations, and the masses with the aim of turning social affairs into political ones. This study deals with a fundamental approach and using an analytic-descriptive method i.e discourse analysis, investigates the dominance of Islamic ideological discourse over the political construction of space in the first decade of the revolution. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between space, power and discourse in the Foucaultian sense and its effect on the political construction of space. The central signifier of this discourse is the Islamic ideology that emerged in opposition to and in the negation of the centrality of the previous discourse, Western modernism. Also, the space-place notion in which this discourse is manifested is the Islamic nation where the element of land is eliminated and extended to the realm of the world, instead.

The spatial planning rank as an interdisciplinary subject, has currently regained its status in many countries. Yet we cannot lose sight of the fact that, in certain cases, it has not achieved resounding success. The question that has faced Iranian geographers all along has been this: to what can be attributed the failure of Iran’s spatial planning programmers despite the implementation of ten such plans over a five_ year period? In response to this query, a nongovernmental institute entitled The center for an Islamic_ Iranian Model of Progress was established in 2011 by a relatively large number of Iranian scientists who set up a group of think tanks designed to analyze and present a model for the development of Iran. An example of this set is the Think Tank of Fundamental Spatial Planning, which has published the results of this research project in the form of monographs. An investigation of the documents published by the think tank in question, as well as the analysis of the views of eighteen thinkers within the field of spatial planning by phenomenology method and Using Wittgenstein's semantic network model, Wittgenstein's model suggests that Iranian researchers at the Center of Islamic-Iranian Pattern for progress have different views on what is being presented as the knowledge of the land. In this regard, the main theoretical differences can be described in three categories. Spatial planning is not simply an experimental science based on universal rules, but rather a product of cultural and geographical systems based on characteristics of various nations. Land constitutes a spatial container in which a value oriented theory takes shape, and given the value differences between human societies, different spatial frameworks emerge. Thus, the values of Islam will form another kind of space that is not possible in the cultural system of Etna. Spatial identity is a factor overlooked in the science of spatial planning, which is emphasized in the fundamental arrangement. This factor ensures the development of creativity and the recognition of social configuration in Iranian societies.

Widespread use of apparently synonymous vocabulary in the environmental hazards science is not an unfamiliar issue for specialists in this field. Therefore, the research question is whether the words such as natural disasters, natural emergency, or natural hazards have the same meaning? And do these words really have same meanings? If the answer is negative, what are the implications for the use of synonymous vocabulary? This article attempts to answer these questions by using discourse analysis, and the method of PDAM, as well as selecting ten academic titles and three texts, which have been obtained from texts in the domain of these sciences. The results of this study show that linguistic features such as semantic and linguistic have a significant impact in research and theoretical of sciences such as epistemology, ontology, and epistemology. Extreme issues will be executed as it can be claimed that management of environmental hazards is much more promising rather than focusing on the recognition of the physical phenomenon, and the formulation of managerial and operational frameworks, and the precise explanation of specialized vocabulary.

Interpretations in Environmental Hazards Management in Iran shows a relative failure to reduce harmful effects, injuries, and consequences. There was a poor management regarding to this issue, while a large number of organizations, universities, and research institutes have been conducting research in this field in recent years, and there are still at the time of the disasters. So the main questions of this research are: What is the root of this failure? Why, nowadays, our scientific community does not agree on the use of the terms of this science?

For this research, triple steps have been performed as follows. In the first stage of the research, the method of the discourse analysis method was used. The second step was to analyze the causes of the use of synonyms, spatially in Farsi, and in the third step, some of the consequences of the use of synonymous vocabulary in the field of environmental hazards have been done. The second and third parts of the research were conducted using the library-analytical method.

Exploring the texts, using the practical discourse analysis as "PDAM" on the diversity of terms, the following results were briefly gained:1.1 Widespread ambiguity is in the concepts and vocabulary of environmental hazards. 1.2 The lack and uncertainty of the rules related to disaster management. 1.3 Lack of transparency in job descriptions within rules and regulations.
S

Paying attention to concepts such as synonym, polysemy, and linguistic relativism implies that:2.1 Proper language usage is important.
2.2 Language is not merely a duty to communicate.
2.3 Vocabulary in any language contains more complex concepts beyond their communication function.
2.4 The absence of a word for a concept in a language is due to the lack of concepts and implications of the term.
2.5 The lack of words for a concept in a language undermine the understanding of that concept by users of that language.
2.6 The absence of explicit and precise terms for a concept in a language result in synonymous and meaningful uses, which will cause confusion and increasing distraction from the audience.

Each research is based on deep philosophical and theoretical foundations. In fact, the question or hypothesis is a subject that depends on the researcher's view of ontology, epistemology, paradigms, and methodology [27]. The very important point is that all of the above-mentioned components are dependent on the vocabulary and terminology; in other words, the vocabulary and specialized reform of each discipline are an integral part of any of the research phases.

The results of this research indicated that the terms in the language contains more complex concepts than their communication function, so it is very important that the vocabularies of the environmental hazards would be provided by an official authority in the country. Since terminology is very essential in environmental perceptions, the United Nations Office for the Reducing of the Risk of Crisis has provided a unique glossary, which includes an accurate definition of fifty-three words on its website. This glossary has been translated into English, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic. The editors of this specialized dictionary in its second edition, which took place in 2015, stated in its introduction section that the terms used to refine the thirty-five thousand documents and scientific reports have been extracted. Undoubtedly, less science has so far been emphasized on the use of specialized vocabulary. Therefore, it is suggested that the Disaster Management Agency of the country, as an official reference, translate this dictionary into Persian with the help of experts.

IntroductionIn this paper, through studying the air pollution and environmental destruction of Tehran metropolis, as a political, social, and economic issue, we discuss the competitive discourse between the nation-state (the eleventh government in Iran, 2013-2017) and the local government (municipality of Tehran 2013-2017) in terms of the creation of meaning, hegemony, and the production of space. Generally, the purpose of analyzing the above-mentioned discourses in this study is to identify the aspects that a particular discourse highlights or attempts to make some aspects absent. In Iran the local government (municipality) and the nation-state are affecting the city space through policies and management system. This paper focuses on the discourse of nation-state and local government in Tehran city.
Theoretical FrameworkThe theoretical framework of this article is based on discourse analysis theory and representation and otherness concepts.
Representation:Representation is a cultural process. It is also a political process, where individuals/groups seek to persuade or coerce others into accepting their representation as the “correct” one. Representations or “ideological fictions” are necessary for the discourse –logical consistency of planning practice. They structure our transcendent ideas and ideals of what is and what should be “out there”.
Absent/ Otherness:Law believes that debates about social and environmental justice shift between presence and absence. Some presence/absences are deferred of relations not present now, but relations yet to come. There are oscillatory distributions between the present/now and the absent/future or the absent/now and the present/future. Thus, planning is a sort of creative agonistic between presence and absence, manifest and latent.
Discourse Analysis: Discourse is a bunch of words which belong to the same formation. Analytical activity is the description of the united shape of the bunch of words which has no place for concepts of meaning, intention, and the moment of creation. The aim of the analysis is to deal with a set of functions at lingual (verbal) level as well as dealing with the positive shape of their definition.
MethodologyDiscourse Analysis theory of Laclau and Mouffe is considered both as a theory and as a research method. In this regard, capitalizing on the method of discourse analysis, we examine two main discourses (discourse of nation-state, i.e., the eleventh government in Iran, 2013-2017; and local government, i.e., municipality’s discourse, 2013-2017) in terms of the air pollution in Tehran.
DiscussionResults show that the nodal point of the local government (municipality) discourse is public transportation and the floating signifiers of the local government’s discourse are the development of metro and green spaces. On the other hand, the nodal point of the national government’s discourse is "quality and control". The interviews by government officials indicate that the nation-state’s nodal point is based on the automobile quality supervision and fuel quality. As discourses are attempting to highlight or other some aspects of the reality, the development of metro (the achievement of the local government) is absent in the nation-state’s discourse; or it is trying to undermine the discourse of municipality by challenging the urban management. On the other hand, the local government (municipality) is Othering the impact of the urban management role (such as traffic or towers) on the increase of air pollution in Tehran City. Generally, findings indicate that both the local government and nation-state’s discourses seek to represent what they would like to be present out there.
Conclusion and SuggestionsDiscourse analysis showed that both the national government and local governments are seeking to make hegemony by highlighting some aspect of the facts, in order to pretend to the society that their representation is true and their management has been successful. The local government (public transportation discourse) is highlighting the developments in Tehran’s Metro section, and the nation-state (technology-oriented discourse) is highlighting the control and quality. On the other hand, the share of the government's aid to the urban public transportation has been marginalized in the discourse of the national government and the impact of the urban management and urban traffic caused by an inappropriate land-use planning on Tehran’s air pollution is suppressed and othered in the municipality’s discourse.
Based on the discourse analysis, we can say that the next discourse should be based on an integrated development; i.e., good governance through strengthening the role of civil society. Also, according to the principles of good governance, enhancing the transparency and accountability in both local and national levels could be the first step to begin the process of reducing environmental problems and air pollution in Tehran metropolitan.

The main purpose of this essay is to compare the philosophical hypothesis of qualitative and quantitative researches in human geography and social sciences. In general we have to approaches in human geography and social sciences methodologically, epistemologically and ontologically. In these two fields the selection of an approach depends on the adopted worldview or paradigm by the researchers. In this article the two approaches to research in terms of nature, goal, method, hypothesis, methods and another aspect of research has been compared. Finally as an alternative the third approach so-called mixed method to resolve the challenges and problems of the two methods has been articulated and proposed.

Territoriality is considered in the political geography and geopolitics as one of the fundamental issues. Territoriality is man-made political structure that seeks to divide space. Territoriality is political nature or the nature of dispute and no existed without division of space into separate parts and the exclusive allocation of space. Therefore, territoriality is purposeful process that may pursue various purposes, including economic, security, identity, stimulus or even emotional. This paper intends to use the three elements of "space", "power" and "identity" to explain the formation process of discursive territoriality. This result can achieve the ways in which critical geopolitics scholarship has understood and made use of discourse analysis. Discursive territoriality is " process in which the individuals, groups, or dominant countries for the control and management of geographic space to your desired geopolitical and political order, beyond the discourse in which hard power to control space so that those who exercise authority over them are not realizing such a process”. By the definition, discursive territoriality is the practical relations between "space", "power" and "identity". Each of these three components is referred as social phenomena in the context of the three components of their meaning. The most important element of this concept is power. The definition of power used in steven‌lukes is the special nature contrary to the classical theories and new theories of postmodern (or foucault). 'Power' is a concept in which society is divided into two poles obeys and ruler. Power in this view is something that is in the hands of some people and not the others. Despite the effective application of the definition of the concept of power steven‌lukes in discursive territoriality but actually is inefficient to explain some geopolitical discourse. Hence, to get out of this trap, we used of nietzsche's will to power and the forces of action and reaction deleuze. He explains by borrowing from nietzsche's will to power, both proactive and reactive power. The research is fundamental and using descriptive-analytical method. The method of data collection is libraries and the internet. What will be followed by the meaning of the expression " discursive territoriality " and its three components of the "space", "power" and "identity", is that in addition to the obvious dimension of territoriality through territorial expansionism and aggression, there are also the (soft) territoriality dimension mentioned in the article as "discursive territoriality". Based on this proposition, we should mention discursive territoriality as the unit state or the units of imperial. To create the space homogenizing, the discursive territoriality implies that the dominant discourse (hegemonic) influence such ideas and goods. It has the culture in different geographical areas, so that the areas affected by specific thought patterns (hegemon) have favorable political and geopolitical order. Namely, nowadays the west's discourse does not have Ratzel territorial expansionism theory. However, the same kind of attitude and expansion will follow the areas of thought and culture to dominate the minds and hearts of people. Finally, control and monitoring of different geographical territories in line with the pattern of capitalist can order their requirements in different geographical areas. In fact, today the west discourse to promote the idea of capitalism has many geographical territories to recruit in line with the goals of capitalist system. Authors believe that the discursive territoriality is a useful analysis tool for explaining how to change the map of the south-west Asia (map 1, 1625 ad., before the treaty of Westphalia) to the present (2015 m.). The main argument of the paper is on this basis that the west discourses are in the needs of its discursive to product space in the south-west Asia.. In other words, this time the west seeks their goals and strategies through its discourse to institutionalize that rather than through force and violence (hard power) to territoriality. The south west Asian players who played this role for the west, without the slightest feeling of being in line with the goals of the west, want to find out their own. The first signifier of west discourse for the territoriality of the south-west Asia was based on colonialism factor,. However, this was not the end and the post-colonial period in nationalism for the territoriality of their favorite. But the most dangerous tool for the territoriality of the west in south west Asia, which now has also affected the area, is factor of religion. In the texts associated with political geography and geopolitics, the element of space has attracted much attention for key character in this field, but it has been somewhat neglected in the role of the “thought ". This paper tries to show what it is, right as this issue noted: how are general ideas and political and geopolitical ideas in particular with shaping particular discourses in the spatial consequences. It soon becomes operational across the territory, starting in the territoriality. The main principle in the territoriality is strategy and purpose not merely the geographical distribution of idea. The main argument of this paper is that the political thoughts shape the geographical origin of particular discourses and if ideas, discourses or other geographical areas, adopted the ideas of thought, even as imperfect or even native to the steps, but still not get rid of the spatial effects of that idea.
