The increase in problems that caused by the uncontrolled growth of cities have forced urban researchers and managers to tackle and solve urban problems. One of the most effective ways to reduce these issues, is urban smart growth that one of its important principles, is infill development. This principle emphasizes on using and benefiting of cities internal capacity, such as development on abandoned land and vacant land within the existing texture of cities, redevelopment of buildings and sites. The main purpose of this research is to identify capacities of infill development in the region1 of Yazd city. It can be said that theories of urban smart growth and infill development (as an independent theory and one of the principles of urban smart growth) have been the basis of this study. Urban smart growth seeks to use urban spaces to compactness and prevent urban growth. Due to the fact that the city of Yazd has expanded horizontally and with a sprawl phenomenon, the use of infill development theory can take advantage of the city's internal capacities and prevent the city's uncontrolled expansion, and the benefits of this development can be achieved with the goal of implementation of urban smart growth.

This research in terms of goal is an applied one and in view point of the research method is descriptive – analytical and the extraction of appropriate criteria is based on library resources and documents. At first, the effective parameters and criteria were selected by reviewing the articles related to infill development and according to the characteristics of the study context. Then, by completing the questionnaire by 15 experts and specialists, the degree of preference of these criteria against each other was assessed and with the help of SWARA technique in EXCEL software, the weight of each criterion was obtained. Afterwards, the appropriate layers were prepared in ARCGIS environment and in order to normalize the layers and combine them, the Simple Additive Weighting method (SAW) which was implemented in ARCGIS environment was used. In this method, the weight obtained from SWARA technique was multiplied by the criteria and finally the textures that are suitable for infill development were identified.

The main purpose of this research is to identify capacities of infill development in the region1 of Yazd city. At first, the area and location of vacant lands were considered as the main priority of development then in order to identify the development capacities of the constructed areas, the effective criteria on infill and smart growth development were selected. Next by determining the priority of these criteria (land use diversity, floor, building age, construction quality, ownership, structure, particle size distribution, access to the street network, access to green space, access to educational land use, access to health care land use, access to business land use, access to religious land use, access to facilities land use), the weight of each criterion was obtained relative to each other. Then, the layers were prepared in the ARCGIS environment and zoned by using of the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method that implemented in the ARCGIS environment. Textures that are suitable for infill development were identified and prioritized. The priorities are calculated as the first priority is 328 hectares, the second priority is 305 hectares, the third priority is 320 hectares and the fourth priority is 118 hectares. The first priority are the land use and parcels that have low floors, low quality, high antiquity, public and state ownership, greater access to service land uses and the street network.

By examining the land use of Yazd city, it was found that due to the sprawl and growth of the city and lack of proper management, many lands in the city are undeveloped and without construction, which can be considered as vacant lands as one of the important priorities in integrated growth and infill development. In fact, in the city of Yazd, due to the large number of vacant lands, development should be focused on these areas, and also with solutions such as increasing taxes or creating incentives to accelerate the process of their development. In region 1 of Yazd city, similar to other parts of it, as we go from the central parts to the fringe of the city, vacant and unused lands will increase. Thus, vacant lands must first be developed in order to population growth and per capita services. However, it is important to note that attention to vacant lands should not deter urban management from paying attention to worn-out central textures or textures that are more conducive to accessing services and are more economically viable. Therefore, the research findings indicated that this region of Yazd city has suitable capacities for infill development as one of the principles of urban smart growth and the research hypothesis is confirmed.

Unreasonable urban sprawl has adverse effects on the natural and cultural environment of societies. Many efforts have been made to eliminate the negative effects of the scattered expansion of cities, the most important of which is the smart growth strategy. In fact, smart growth has emerged as a response to the continuing problems of fragmented development and its negative results. The purpose of this research is to identify the physical capacities in order to develop intermediates by relying on the principles of smart growth in Qanbar Cheshmeh Marand neighborhood.The current research is applied-practical in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. The statistical population of the research consists of 200 dilapidated pieces of dilapidated buildings in Qanbar Cheshme neighborhood. In order to analyze the data, the weighted overlapping model (WLC) was used in the GIS environment.By using ten indicators of smart urban growth, the rank of smart urban growth capacity was prioritized and mapped in the form of 5 sub-neighborhoods, and to prepare the final map, the highest rate of smart urban growth coefficient was calculated from the average of the ten ranks and the rank obtained as a percentage in GIS format. used. due to the current inefficiency of Baft, it cannot benefit from this increase in population. If 40% of the freed occupation area, which is an area of 15,476 square meters, is dedicated to green infrastructure, mixed uses, creating pedestrian-oriented communities and widening roads, the environmental quality of the worn-out area of Qanbar Cheshme will definitely increase. will find

Following the developments after the Industrial Revolution, population growth and consequently the physical development of cities has acted very fast and accelerated. So that in recent decades, the uncontrolled growth and expansion of cities has become a kind of problem or issue and the need to pay attention to urban issues and especially its physical issues in the form of a scientific framework, has become important and necessary. Objective of the present study: The purpose of this study is to identify the position of urban smart growth indicators in the physical development of Maragheh city.

The present research has been done in terms of applied purpose and in terms of method, descriptive-analytical method. Indicators of smart urban growth in Maragheh city areas have been evaluated based on three indicators of compaction, environmental and accessibility using Holdern models, Gini coefficient, and network analysis in Arc map software. Below the sewerage network index, areas 5 and 6 have the least network coverage and in the worn texture index, areas 1, 2 and 3 have the highest area of worn texture. In the bus station access index, districts 4 and 7 have the least distribution and in districts 6 and 1 have the most distribution and access, and also in the taxi station access index, district 5 has no taxi station and district 1 and 2 have the most taxi station distribution.

The growing trend of globalization and the formation of knowledge-based economy and the increasing importance of the spatial dimension of knowledge production, sharing and use, reinforces the idea that the competitiveness of cities depends on the production, sharing and use of knowledge in the urban economy. Be, has been. As a result, urban areas, which are the main centers for the development of knowledge-based economy, are changing with dynamic processes of spatial and economic restructuring. This research is qualitative in nature, methodological, descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. To collect the required data, the documentary-library study method as well as the statistics of 2016 were used. In this regard, by Delphi method, by purposeful sampling, the views of 30 experts and experts related to the research topic were used to collect quantitative and evaluated data in line with the explanatory variables of the research and to advance the research goals and questions in the form of priorities. Factors of knowledge-based development and intelligent growth in Shiraz metropolis, AHP hierarchical analysis process model in Expert Choice software environment has been used. Based on the results of hierarchical analysis, the effective factors are prioritized according to which the socio-cultural factor with a weight of 0.295 in the first rank, the economic factor with a weight of 0.225 in the second rank, the institutional-managerial factor with a weight of 0.187 in the rank Third and urban environment factor with a weight of 0.156 are in the last rank.

In fact, the growth of urban consciousness is a wise strategy to drive urban development and control dispersion and drive urban growth toward sustainability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of Bushehr city area in terms of growth indices. In this regard, this research is a goal-oriented, applied-developmental one, and a combination of documentary, analytical, causal and survey methods. Reliability of the research instrument based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the research was 0.749 which is higher than 0.7 and is appropriate. The statistical population of the study is Bushehr inhabitants which according to Cochran formula is estimated 384 samples. According to the statistical population, the questionnaire was distributed randomly among the citizens. In order to compare between two regions, T-test with two independent samples was used for evaluation of urban smart growth in District 1 and 2 of Bushehr. In this test, the first option to be considered is the significance level while the significance level or sig between the two regions is less than 0.05 indicates a significant difference between the two regions and vice versa. Significance level analysis (0.000) shows that there is a significant difference between the two regions in terms of urban smart growth. Meanwhile, the mean of Region 1 with 3.21 was higher than that of Region 2 with 2.86. Although there is a significant difference in Bushehr region in terms of smart growth indices, this difference is not significant and in general Bushehr regions are not in a good position in terms of smart growth indices.

Attention to the physical development of the city is a basic necessity in urban development programs. In Iran, the rapid physical expansion of cities in the form of unplanned and uneven growth for various reasons, including uncontrolled migration, is one of the main problems of cities, which is a phenomenon called superficial scattering of growth results of this species. The scattering of urban areas and its numerous economic and environmental effects have led urban experts to explore strategies to address this. One of these strategies is smart growth theory. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the indicators of smart urban growth in Sari urban areas. The present research is applied in terms of purpose. The research method is descriptive-analytical due to the nature of the problem under study. In order to analyze the data, in addition to citing documentary and library studies, statistical analysis have been used. Finally, the ranking of each area of Sari in terms of smart growth has been evaluated using the WASPAS model. . The results showed that there is inequality between regions in terms of smart growth indicators. In fact, smart growth indicators in the four regions of Sari have an unbalanced distribution.

Cities are more prone to human activity than any other place. A key function in smart growth of cities considering population growth and lack of infrastructure and land availability is to take care of physical expansion in order to respond to current needs and predict future needs of cities.

This article is descriptive-analytical in terms of methodology and practical in terms of targeting. In the preparation of smart growth indicators, theoretical data has been prepared with documentary method and experimental data with survey method based on Delphi technique. The statistical population of 20 academic and research experts and specialists in the urban area has been selected by purposeful sampling. In processing the data MICMAC software was employed for structural mutual effects analysis.Geographical area of researchThe geographical realm of the study was the city of Sari. Results and discussion Fifty initial stimulators were classified into five smart growth dimensions (economic, social-cultural, bodily-spatial, environmental and access) and analyzed by using MICMAC.

showed a matrix filling of 96.88% which indicates the strong effect of the selected factors on one another and that the whole system is in unstable condition so that most of the stimulators lie within bi-dimensional stimulators.

Twelve key stimulators: Planning policies for increasing density, revising of urban plans and making them more flexible, expansion of local management units, appropriate distribution of equipment and amenities, persuading citizens and stakeholders to take part in planning and decision making, development of neighborhoods with various functions, creating dense neighboring units, equal distribution of financial sources and loads, integrated mapping of regions, emphasizing adjacency of compatible uses, fair distribution of services in neighborhoods and using abandoned urban lands and lots. These make seven bodily-spatial, two social-cultural, two access stimulators and one effective stimulator that affects the future status of Sari.

Today, all officials involved with the challenges of city sustainability have accepted the idea of a smarter city, using more technologies, creating better living conditions and protecting the environment for a better quality of life. The central part of the metropolis of Tabriz is based on Region 8 and part of Region 10, a historical-cultural area with an area of 286 hectares and a population of about 40 thousand people in 8 neighbourhoods. This research was compiled to evaluate and explain the regeneration of the central part of Tabriz city with the approach of smart growth and in line with the sustainable development of problematic neighbourhoods in the 8th district of Tabriz metropolis. The present review is methodologically practical, to describe and analyze the goals of regeneration based on library studies. The statistical population of the research includes experts and people living in the central context. In the first part, the Delphi method was used by asking experts. In the second part, the structural equation method of SPSS and AMOS software is used. According to the results of using the scales of design, pedestrian-oriented, intergenerational justice in the actual situation and 3 indicators of management and productivity, stable and value-creating jobs are in the potential situation. Also, two environmental indicators with the most direct and indirect effects and a cultural index have been decisive in the regeneration with the smart growth approach in the central part of Tabriz city. Therefore, in the regeneration of the central part, the studied indicators should be used simultaneously and integrated into the reconstruction projects of the central fabric of the city to lead to smart sustainability

Nowadays, in most developed countries, sustainability has been developed as a guiding principle in the framework of sustainability discourse in urban planning and policies. Urban livability and the right to the city are concepts related to sustainable development and social justice in cities and are effective in creating healthy, dynamic and just cities. While introducing livability and the right to the city as a dominant approach in urban planning in the contemporary world, this article has examined its theoretical origins, influential views and theoretical-experimental literature, its dimensions and indicators. In terms of the fundamental-theoretical goal and its data, this research has been provided by the library-document method. Considering the wide range of topics and explanatory approaches available in this field, in this research, only those researches that have more relevance to the current research topic have been examined. Then, the theories of Henri Lefebvre and the theory of Kevin Lange, Marcuse, Tovey Fenster, Harvey, etc., as well as supporting concepts close to livability such as sustainable development, healthy city, neo-urbanism, smart growth and compact city have been examined. The findings of the article show that according to today's conditions, in most cities of the world there is a general agreement about the importance and necessity of recognizing, analyzing and explaining urban livability and the right to the city in various dimensions, but there is a consensus of opinion about the definition, standards and indicators. It does not exist. The most important reason for this can be seen in the direct dependence of this concept on the spatial and temporal conditions, and most importantly, the socio-economic and management background of the target community.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the factors affecting the expansion of urban smart growth in Yasouj small scale city. The research was of applied purpose and based on descriptive and analytical nature. The formal validity was used to ensure the validity of the questionnaire. Its reliability has been confirmed using combination reliability. The statistical populations were all experts, urban managers and professors of university being aware of urban development and urban planning in the city of Yasouj. Using simple random sampling, 50 participants were selected and information was collected by researcher-made questionnaire. To analyze the obtained information, correlation analysis and structural equation modeling using SPSS and Smart PLS software, has been used. The evaluated model of the study had acceptable fitness indices. The structural equation modeling showed that the factors physical and spatial (t = 5.33, γ = 0.4), infrastructure and access (t=3.45, γ=0.201), socioeconomic (t = 2.86, γ = 0.15) and environmental (t = 2.14, γ = 0.145) can explain 41% of the changes in the urban smart growth development in Yasuj small scale citiy.

In the current research, with the participation of managers, officials and academic experts, key drivers affecting the smart growth of rural settlements in Jiroft County have been identified and finally, scenarios effective on the formation of smart growth of rural settlements have been formulated. The research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. The method of collecting data and information was in the form of library and documents and survey (interview). By examining scientific sources, 57 factors influencing the smart growth of rural settlements were identified, which were categorized into 4 dimensions; And a total of 30 people, including managers of related organizations and academic experts, were interviewed. Data analysis was based on prospective research techniques; including structure analysis, interaction analysis (Micmac and Scenario Wizard software). The results showed that there are 35 scenarios with weak compatibility and only one scenario is in a state of strong and stable compatibility (zero incompatibility). The first scenario, which is a scenario with a positive direction, has a total interaction score of 446 and a compatibility value of 5; While the second scenario, which is the unfavorable scenario, has a total interaction effect score of -93 and a compatibility value of -1. The third scenario (standing) also had a compatibility value of 3, and with a total score of 42 interactions, it can be one of the possible scenarios for the future of rural physical-spatial developments.

Today, the automobile is the most important means of transportation, which has a lot of movement and energy. Concerning this process, in recent decades, concepts such as sustainable development and sustainable urban development have been proposed as solutions to the patterns of physical, social, and economic development. Therefore, problems such as the destruction of natural resources, destruction of biological systems, excessive population growth, injustice and reducing the quality of human life in the present and future can be prevented. Accordingly, governments are always trying to overcome environmental problems with various policies and programs or reduce the negative effects of human functions on the environment (pollution and environmental degradation). Khoy city, due to the special place in the region and a wide sphere of influence in terms of population and administrative and economic flows, has the most traffic in the region, especially in the city, which requires the existence of intelligent urban systems. Although we are currently witnessing public transportation and taxi systems in some parts of the city, there are still many challenges and issues until the needs of the citizens are met, which the most important of them are the lack of coverage of most parts of the city, unnecessary traffic of some citizens, lack of bicycle lanes, heavy traffic in the central and historical contexts, lack of close monitoring of the public transportation system, disorder in the transportation system, incompatibility of urban land use planning system with urban transportation system, the lack of promotion of the central sidewalk network and the weakness of security in these spaces, disorder in the urban design system including pedestrian lines, sidewalks, and the network of roads, etc. Based on this, the present study tries to identify the indicators and components in order to evaluate the performance of Khoy city transportation system by emphasizing the approach of smart urban growth and improving the quality of life of citizens. In other words, the purpose of this study is to answer the following question: - What are the most important indicators for assessing the public transportation situation based on the smart growth approach in Khoy city؟

The present research is descriptive-analytical in terms of method and practical in terms of applying the results. The statistical population of this study is the residents of Khoy city. Cochran's formula has been used to select a suitable sample for evaluation; in this context, the population of Khoy city, according to the last census in 2016, was 8845 people, so the selected sample is estimated at 383 people. The scale of measurement based on the Likert scale was from very low to very high and the way of scoring the questionnaire was from 1 to 5. Data analysis by structural equations has been exerted to analyze the research model. Through these techniques, the researcher can confirm or reject a hypothetical structure. In this regard, SPSS and Smart-PLS software programs have been exploited. The indicators were selected based on documentary-library and field studies, containing 24 indicators in 8 components.

The results of the study showed that there was a significant relationship at the level of 0.01% between the components of public transportation and smart growth. So that the most impacts related to the components of preservation of historical, safety and social monuments were 0.92 and 0.84 percent, respectively. Also at the factor loadings level, the lack of damage to open space and air pollution, encouraging growth from within and reducing sprawl growth, and creating job opportunities have had the greatest impact. Associated with intelligence, policy and safety were 19 and 68, respectively, and in contrast, the highest level of protection of historical and economic monuments was 145 and 105. Moreover, the highest significance was related to job creation, price reform, and interconnected transportation networks with values ​​of 291, 262, and 207, respectively. In contrast, the participation of the private sector, the diversity of routes between the two points, and the alignment of land-use policies with transportation had the lowest levels of significance with values of 11.8, 16.2, and 17.9, respectively.

Given the nature of development based on public transportation and its positive principles, proponents of this development believe that what should be considered in the design of urban systems is the development of comprehensive urban plans to maximize compliance between urban planning and land-use policies. Other urban transportation systems are optimal according to the characteristics of the urban network. Findings show that this inappropriate combination and uneven distribution of land-uses in development is such that it has not led to the internalization of travel in the field of development. In this way, people are required to use the automobile to do their daily chores, which leads to the demand for travel and, consequently, the need for parking and facing traffic. If there is a mixed-use in the field of development, travel by public transport or on foot to the desired destinations within the field of development, is practiced. Also, in many cases, the current situation is an obstacle in this direction, so that the traditional zoning emphasizes the development of single-use to protect the neighborhood from incompatible uses or limit residential density. For this purpose, it is necessary to re-zoning in comprehensive and detailed plans to consider the benefits of mixed-uses with public transportation, which will lead to greater compliance of the development area with the transit-oriented development approach.

Cities are facing many challenges due to excessive population growth and rapid expansion. To organize this indiscriminate growth, new planning models such as smart growth have been proposed. In recent years, the metropolis of Ahwaz has faced the adverse effects of unbridled growth, which necessitates serious attention to the smart growth model. The present research, by stating the necessity and importance of smart growth, has ranked the areas of Ahwaz metropolis in terms of suitability with smart growth criteria with a descriptive-analytical method. The study area includes the 8 districts of Ahwaz metropolis. The data related to 81 smart urban growth indicators for eight districts were analyzed in the form of 4 criteria: physical-land use, social-economic, access-transportation and environmental using the gray relational analysis model. According to the findings, district 4 is the most suitable and district 6 is the most unsuitable. Also, among the above-mentioned 4 criteria, the environmental criterion is in the most unfavorable condition in Ahwaz metropolis. Finally, based on the findings of the research, some solutions were suggested.

Cities are more dynamic when the smart growth of the city takes into account the well-being of human life in various directions; Therefore, by considering man as the axis of urban development, the importance of his quality of life stands out more. In fact, one of the main goals of urban planning is to achieve a quality urban living environment, which is possible through the implementation of smart growth indicators. The main goal of this research is to investigate the impact of smart growth on the quality of life of the residents of District 8 of Mashhad Municipality. The research method is descriptive-analytical using library sources and survey data (questionnaire). Also, using Cochran's formula, a statistical sample consisting of 382 residents of District 8 of Mashhad city has been studied.The collected data were checked through one-sample T-test and Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the effectiveness. For illustration, the results of the research using the IDW method are displayed on the maps, and the results show the favorable situation of the 8th region in terms of smart growth indicators with an average of 3.19 and quality of life with an average of 3.31. Also, there is a significant relationship between these two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.311, which indicates the positive impact of smart growth on the quality of life; In other words, in neighborhoods that have favorable conditions in terms of smart growth indicators, residents are more satisfied with the quality of life in those neighborhoods.

Smart growth is a comprehensive strategy covering various aspects of urban development, and scenario planning attempts to focus on alternative futures using quantitative and qualitative categories.The scale and severity of urban problems around the world show that the current planning process has not been able to effectively achieve its main goal. Therefore, identifying the sustainable urban growth management solutions by adopting future planning methods is vital because it will enable planners to anticipate and reduce conflicts as well as prepare cities for potential shocks. Therefore, the present study seeks to present and compile scenarios of spatial development of Rasht city within the framework of smart urban growth pattern. The aim of the present study is applied and the type of descriptive- analytical method. The required data and information were collected in two ways: library and survey (questionnaire). The process of data analysis using multi- step Delphi technique is based on the method of interaction analysis using MicMac and Sanario Wizard software. The results show that for 13 scenarios with greater compatibility, 7.69% (1 state) of the states have the desired state, 84.61% (11 states) of the states with a static state and 7.69% (1 state) with a pessimistic state. The two scenarios with high scores and the probability of occurrence are more in the future, which shows the optimal scenario number 1 with an impact rate of 359 and the critical situation scenario number 13 with an impact rate of 227. Therefore, in order to realize the smart growth pattern in the Rasht city, among the three hypothetical situations ahead, the future planning strategy should be considered based on the desired scenario number 1.And if the factors of this scenario are emphasized, we can hope for the realization of the goals of smart growth in Rasht, because in the current situation of this scenario, all 14 key factors have an optimistic and hopeful situation.

more dependence on the use of private cars in city trips, the change of use of high-quality agricultural land and gardens around the city, air pollution, destruction and pollution of water resources and .. pointed out that all these limitations and problems are obstacles against the city achieving sustainable urban development. A smart city is a city that has smart components including smart economy, smart transportation, smart environment, smart citizens, smart lifestyle and smart administrative management. In Iran, according to the latest decisions made by the Ministry of Interior, at least five cities of Urmia, Isfahan, Tabriz, Mashhad and Tehran have been targeted. What moves a city towards smartness is not only the use of electronic tools and communication system of that city; Rather, it is the way of planning and using this tool to improve the quality of life of the citizens of a city. The goal of a smart city is to increase the quality of urban life with a sustainable development approach. In this research, the theory of smart urban growth, its definitions and principles, its advantages and disadvantages, its differences with the urban spiral and the criticisms of smart urban growth will be comprehensively addressed, and finally, some practical policies of this The theory is given and an example is introduced in this field. The research method in this article has been descriptive-analytical and is of an applied type, and the method of collecting documentary-library information. The results of this research show that by comparing the indicators of smart growth and urban spiral with sustainable development, it was found that the principles of smart growth are more logical compared to urban sprawl in order to achieve a sustainable city.

Walking the roads as part of urban spaces creates an area for the occurrence of social,political, memory creation and collective emotional expression.the present study seeks to answer the question that,on foot of the central portion of the Rasht city,what extent has been successful in achieving economic,social and physical-environmental indicators and the purpose of this research is to identify the most important indices of urban smart growth in pedestrian design.the method of research is descriptive and analytic with the use of interview technique and questionnaire.effective indicators in the best of land use in 4 physical,environmental,comfort and comfort and activities were extracted and evaluated and each of these indices rated relative marks on the basis of their role and importance.the results of this thesis in terms of physical indices showed that the width of the path is ranked seventh with a score of 3/55 on the first and proper design of the body body with a score of 2/11.In the environmental sector,the score of 2/71 has the best condition.the index of noise pollution index is ranked first with a score of 3/41.Ease of access and security indicators are ranked second and third with scores of 3/47 and 3/45,respectively.the results of the studies on the indicators of use and activities indicate that the index of diversity of users with a score of 3/68 is higher than other indices.also,indicators of the possibility of loading and unloading of trade units and sign indices are ranked second and third with scores of 2/83 and 2/72 respectively.

Problem definition:

 Today, smart growth approach has an extremely important role in rural sustainable development. This approach aims at improving the quality of human life and responding to social-economic, environmental, and physical problems. It can pave the way for rural management, optimal use of facilities, and solve rural problems. Indeed, the smart growth approach can provide a way out of instability and achieving sustainable development in rural areas.

 The aim of this study was to investigate the status of smart growth components in the rural settlements of Jiroft County.

 The required data were collected by using a questionnaire and various pieces of software were used to analyze them. This research was based on a descriptive-survey method with an applied purpose. Also, documentary and field methods were utilized to collect the information. The sample population of this research included the residents of 18 villages with a population of more than 1000 people in Jiroft County in Kerman Province. Using Cochran's formula, 131 households and 261 people were selected and randomly surveyed. To achieve the research objectives, SPSS, AHP, GRA, and GIS software was applied.

 Based on the results obtained from the structural model of Smart PLS, transportation and communications (0.723) had the greatest impacts on the formation of smart growth in the study area. Afterwards, the indicators of physical texture improvement, environmental quality improvement, local community sustainability, local economic sustainability, quality of housing, and compact development were ranked with 0.715, 0.707, 0.706, 0.704, 0.626, and 0.459. The results of spatial analysis showed that the highest ranks of rural settlement were related to the villages of Aliabad, Dolatabad, Dubneh, Hosseinabad Dehdar, Ismaili Sofla, and Gulab Sufian Sofla and the lowest ranks were related to the villages of Tarj, Kenar Sandal, Narjo, and Soghdar based on the intelligent growth indicators. In general, the results revealed that the smart growth approach had a positive and significant effect on the sustainable development of the studied rural settlements.

Innovation: 

In the present study, for the first time, the issue of effective components on the formation of home-grown growth in the sustainable development of rural settlements was addressed by using applied models.

Today, smart growth is one of the effective urban planning strategies for sustainable urban development because, as an effective tool in measuring the concentration or dispersion of a city's growth, it plays an undeniable role in the development, change and shape of urban areas, especially in metropolises. The aim of this study is to measure the indicators of smart urban growth in order to prioritize the areas of Yasuj city, with emphasis on sustainable development. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature and method. Data collection was carried out through documentary method, and the study benefited from the statistics and detailed plan of Yasuj city (2017). For this purpose, Shannon's entropy multi-indicator technique was used to weigh the indices used, then the electrification model was used to analyze and rank the indices. The findings show that the areas under study are at different levels in terms of smart growth indicators, which accordingly and with regards to smart city indicators, three cities of Yasuj was ranked first with 3 wins and 1 loss; district 4 came second with 2 wins and 2 losses; district one was ranked third with 1 win and 3 losses; and district two came fourth without a win and with 4 losses. Depending on the conditions of the area, the residents' opinions can be employed for further development, as using the rational opinions of the residents of the areas not only improve the physical and environmental condition of the urban areas, but also make citizens like and welcome the idea of participating in urban programs and decision-making processes.
