The process of urban hazard management, emphasizing the principles of legalization and culturalization, is a critical aspect of strategies aimed at reducing damage caused by environmental hazards. Natural hazards, such as earthquakes and annual floods, alongside human-induced hazards like high-density construction and negligence in adhering to structural standards, have significantly increased the vulnerability assessment related to urban hazards. This research evaluates the role of legalization and culturalization indicators in the performance of city managers, with the aim of reducing the damage caused by urban risks in Nowshahr. The research methodology is descriptive and analytical, focusing on applied studies with an emphasis on quantitative methods. Data analysis was conducted using factor analysis and single-sample t-test comparison of means. According to the research findings, the most significant impact of city managers’ performance in reducing urban damage is related to the sub-index of construction materials, while attention to deteriorated urban areas has the least overall impact. The results of this research highlight that, in addition to the indicators of legalization and culturalization, other explanatory variables such as the city’s natural location, service infrastructures, transportation networks, strengthening of port facilities, and appropriate distribution of high-risk areas must also be considered to effectively reduce damages from environmental hazards.

Housing is one of the main human needs, which is known as the basic biological need for humans. Sustainable housing refers to a wide range of opportunities to improve economic development, environmental protection, quality of life and social equality. It requires a detailed and comprehensive look to be able to address the various dimensions of security, in fact, as the discovery of the hidden connections between those dimensions at different levels. Among the effective factors in the security of every city are urban spaces and places, therefore, due to the increase of social anomalies in today's societies, it is necessary to examine social security and factors affecting it. Urban areas are a place to live and to know the sense of belonging to the place of its residents is one of the necessities of maintaining the quantity and quality of this population. For this reason, social security is considered as one of the development indicators, based on which the level of development of urban housing and even countries is evaluated. Therefore, in order to solve the problems of feeling insecure in urban housing and achieving sustainable urban development, examining the components of well-being, The comfort and safety of citizens, which is one of the basic goals of urban planning. Urban insecurity in different fields includes that part of anomalies that have emerged as a result of the emergence of urbanization and the social problems caused by them and cause structural and functional damage in the urban society at different levels. Results The preliminary data from the studied area shows that the building materials used in the construction are often of very low quality and due to the lack of attention to the executive instructions considering that the city of Nowshahr is exposed to many natural disasters such as floods and especially earthquakes. Housing is one of the important indicators to maintain the safety of the residents of the study area. For the reasons that were mentioned, it seems necessary to examine the issue of housing sustainability due to its importance and impact on life-financial security, etc. In other words, the need to live in a safe environment in the study area is very important, which requires adaptation and interaction with the environment for the well-being of citizens, both mentally and objectively, according to the above-mentioned contents of this research. is to examine the set of factors that cause the stability of housing in social security in the study area .

The current research is applied in terms of type and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. Two library and field methods have been used to collect the required information. The statistical population of the research is Nowshahr city, which was determined based on Cochran's formula with an error of 0.05% of 384 questionnaires. A simple random method was used to distribute the questionnaire. It has been used to propose indicators using internal and external studies. The validity of the questionnaire items has been confirmed by the opinion of a number of academic researchers and its reliability has been calculated using Cronbach's alpha test to the extent of 0.75. In the analysis of the data obtained from the questionnaire, structural equations of laser (SEM) have been used. In fact, structural equation model is the Persian translation of Structural Equation Model, which is also called SEM for short. This method is a special causal structure between a set of latent variables and observable variables. Using the structural equation modeling method, the relationships between hidden variables can be investigated, as well as the measurement items of each hidden variable with the relevant variable. Lisrel software is used to perform the calculations of this method. 

The findings of the research show that among the 384 respondents, 15% are in the age group of 30-40 and 30% are married, gender is 79%, place of birth is 78%, and employment is 70.24% of the total respondents in this research, the largest age range is related to the age group of 33 up to 43 years old with 32.45% and the lowest age group is 20 to 35 years old with 0.8%; Also, 17.5% were in the age group of 35 to 40 years old, 24.3% were between 45 to 55 years old, and 19.9% were over 65 years old. One of the presuppositions of using structural equation modeling using Lisrel software is the normality of the data. Therefore, in this research, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the normality of the research data. In conducting factor analysis, one must first ensure the appropriateness of the desired data for analysis (sample size and relationship between variables). For this purpose, KMO indices and Bartlett's test are used to verify the adequacy of the sample size. If the value of the KMO index is less than 0.6, the results of the factor analysis are not suitable for the data in question.

In recent decades, cruises have emerged as one of the most popular branches of tourism at the international level, and currently, cruises are recognized as one of the key sectors in the growth of the tourism industry. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the role of cultural capital in supporting the development of sea voyages in Nowshahr. The current research tries to study the effect of cultural capital and its dimensions including: objectified, embodied and institutional dimensions that seem to be effective in supporting the development of sea travel.

Design/methodology/approach: 

The research method of the present study is descriptive-correlative and survey method using questionnaire tool was used to collect data. The sample size according to Cochran's formula is equal to 400 people.

The findings show that the average attitude of residents towards the development of sea travel (out of 5 points) was 3.13 in the economic dimension, 3.28 in the socio-cultural dimension, and 3.75 in the environmental dimension. Also, the findings show that the average dimensions of cultural capital in relation to supporting the development of sea travel (out of a score of 5) were 2.91 in the objectified dimension, 3.11 in the embodied dimension, and finally 2.86 in the institutionalized dimension.

The results of the hypothesis test show that there is a correlation and a significant relationship between cultural capital and development and between people's support and the development of sea travel. Also, with the increase in education and age of people, the level of their support for development increases, but statistically speaking, between age and the level There is no significant relationship with people's support.

Originality/value: 

Considering the local people's support for development plans in the field of sea travel, policymakers and planners can provide suitable grounds for investment for the development of sea travel in this region by enjoying this social support.

Due to the growing trend of urban population all around the world, especially in developing countries, in the immediate future we will face a predominantly urban world that to meet their needs, urban land will be exploited beyond Its threshold of ecology and people will demand their needs from city officials and managers as a result. The theory of smart city, which was formed based on the answer to the many problems of urban dwellers in the 90s, presented the issues of sustainability such as mixed land use, easy accessibility, preservation of the natural environment, etc. in the field of urban planning and urbanism. This theory demonstrated the points that while supporting modern urban life, can solve its problems in the form of following and implementing new urban planning techniques in the heart of existing cities and in contrast to urban sprawl.

Aims and Objective:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of smartening on the sustainability of Nowshahr as one of the small cities in Iran.

the present study is of the type of applied research. Questionnaire, interview and field observation tools were used to collect information. Using a questionnaire, 383 citizens participated and the findings of this section using statistical techniques, factor analysis and one-sample t-test and coefficient Pearson correlation was analyzed in SPSS software.

In examining the correlation coefficient between intelligence and sustainability, it is found that there is a direct and strong correlation between these two variables in Nowshahr. The results of the one-sample t-test show that the status of intelligent variables in Nowshahr is not in a good position with a stability approach. The results of factor analysis have shown that among the six indicators of smartening, "smart governance" with a factor load of 0.853 has the highest priority in the eyes of experts and specialists in smartening Nowshahr with a sustainable approach. "Smart people" with a factor load of 0.847 and "smart environment" with a factor load of 0.836 have the highest importance in terms of average factor load. In order to develop the level of smartness and sustainability in Nowshahr, a strategy can be developed by urban management along with local sustainability indicators in order to improve the level of services to citizens.

The purpose of the seismic hazard analysis is to predict the extent of the strong ground movements over a certain period of time on a specific site. There are uncertainties in all the inputs of the risk analysis, each of which expresses a property. As a result, recognizing uncertainties and how they are considered by different risk analysis methods can indicate the reliability of those methods in seismic hazard assessment. Fuzzy logic is a suitable tool that is used as a decision-making method for solving problems and modeling uncertainties and ambiguities. Nowshahr Port is located in the Alborz seismic province which is one of the seismic regions in Iran. In this study, a seismic hazard estimate for a range of 200 km radius from Nowshahr port was carried out at a latitude position of 34-38 degree north latitude and 49- 54 degree east longitude. For this purpose, 16 potential seismic sources have been used in the studied area. First, seismic hazard estimation was done by the Conventional deterministic method and then using fuzzy logic. According to the results obtained in the conventional deterministic method, Peak Ground Acceleration values estimated from Conventional deterministic method 0. 52g and 0. 55g application fuzzy Logic System.

Due to land constraints on the planet, most facilities are located in urban areas. As such, the importance of the development of ecotourism has gradually been highlighted. According to this, the purpose of this study was to identify the intensive and extensive tourism sites in the three categories of suitable and semi- suitable and unsuitable areas based on ecological ability for warm seasons in the city of Nowshahr. In this regard, the ecotourism tourism model was used with climatic criteria of temperature, rainfall, hill shade and slope, geology and land use. Then, tourism sites were identified using GIS technique and conditional methods and algebraic composition. After analysis, 519 suitable sites were identified with a total area of 4,838 hectares and often in central altitude (1300-1800 meters) and east-west along the road and rivers of the city of Noshahr. Approximately, 158 tourism sites were identified with an area of about 74.8 hectares in the middle and upstream (about 2550-4000 meters) in the city of Noshahr. In general, extensive suitable sites have a wider distribution and less area than intensive suitable sites.

Enhancement of quality of life has remained either explicit or implicit goal of public policy in almost all societies for several centuries.Quality of life has been the focus of numerous studies but a universally acceptable definition has not been arrived yet. To some, it may mean how happy they are and to others, it may mean the level of economic status, education, health or security. Many researchers agree that the concept of quality of life is too broad to describe. It is impossible to develop one universally acceptable definition of the concept. The purposes of present study are identification of main constituent components and measurement of quality of life for residents living in the study area. The study has been conducted in Nowshahr city in Mazandaran province in the north of Iran. Nowshahr is one of the small cities of Iran that in 2012 year had almost 45000 residents. Methodology of the research is mixed-method. In order to collect the data, we useddocumentary and surveys methods and for analysis of data researchers used quantitative – analytical approach and correlation analysis. The results of the study indicated that the objective dimension constituent components of quality of life in the study area had six factors or components including social interactions, economic conditions, availability of facilities and services, physical condition, environmental safety and participation in affairs. These factors in total, have explained 53/2 percent of the total variance in the dependent variable in the objective quality of life explained. In the subjective dimension, main constituent component of quality of life in the city Nowshahr represented five factors, in order of importance, including feelings of worth, sense of place, subjective well-being, social networks and sense of security. These factors in total explained 60/98 percent of the variance in the dependent variable. Moreover, the data analyzed using cumulative indicators of quality of life showed that in objective dimension the scores obtained was 2/726 and in the subjective dimension scores obtained was equal to 2/389, which are lower than the median of the common means of μ= 3. Accordingly, both the objective and subjective dimension of resident's quality of life are not adequate conditions in city of Nowshahr especially in subjective dimension.

Social sustainability is a concept that is largely in line with the dimensions of quality of life and Encompasses a wide range of concepts such as social development, social capital, participation, equity and belonging, a sense of security and. ... The social aspect is important because every thing and every event occurs within a social context. the objective of this study is identify and assess the social sustainability in Nowshahr. Research methodology, which is based descriptive - analysis method. data collection based on secondary data analysis and the survey technic and descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis.we are designed to test the validity of the measure was based on face and content validity, and for reliability analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used, which the value obtained (0/9338 for all items), indicating that reliability is adequate. Nowshahr in Mazandaran province is the study area. Statistical society of research includes people older than 20 years old in 2012, which is equal to 33,635 persons. the sample size is equal to 380 that was obtained according to Cochran formula. for higher quality samples was increased to 400. Research findings show that the most important component of social sustainability in Nowshahr are sense of place, solidarity and social cohesion, access to resources and services (social justice) and a sense of social security that In total, about 55% of the variance of latent (dependent) variable means social sustainability explained. between this factors, The prime factors 15/99%, the second factor 16/6%, the third factor 12/9% and the fourth 9/65% of the variance explained. Assessment the social sustainability by making the cumulative index is indicated the mean scores for social sustainability in Noshahr is equal to 2/296, which is less than the central theoretical research (3) and this shows Social Sustainability indicators are not very good in Nowshahr. the analyzes indicate that there is a significant relationship between social sustainability of citizens and the conditions of physical environment of the city / neighborhoods and mental well-being, economic conditions, occupancy of housing, residential land area, income level and gender. On the other hand, there is any significant relationship between variables such as age, education, precedence of living, and migration with the level of social sustainability in Nowshahr.

Beaches fringe about 40 per cent of the world’s coastline, and generally consist of unconsolidated deposits of sand and gravel on the shore. More than half the world’s population lives in coastal regions, and many people visit the coast frequently. Beaches have also formed along the fringes of coastal lowlands. In Iran, the river and coastal systems are one of the most important factors in the location of cities, network connections, commerce, tourism, agriculture and areas of industrial development and have high population density and have high population density. Beach systems deal with the interactions between beaches and the processes (waves, currents, tides and winds) that work on them. Case Study at coordinates of geographical longitude of 51, 30, and 00 up to east 52, 45 and 00 and geographical latitude 36, 18, and 55 up to north 36, 44, and 00 with an area of 2068.57 square kilometers in North of Mazandaran Province is located. The main purpose of this paper is to the Identification and morphological classification coastal zones used Shepard Classification method, from Nowshahr to Babolsar. Thus, topographic maps and geology, satellite imagery and geographical information system software in Arc GIS and several field visits from landforms, has been used. The main purpose of this research is to morphological classification of coastal zones from Nowshahr to Babolsar using Shepard classification method.
