Tourism is a significant sector of the global economy that is highly influenced by climatic conditions. One of the key elements in the development of tourism in any region is having favorable climatic conditions and identifying desirable tourist destinations. Fars Province, due to its natural heritage, diverse climatic features, historical and cultural attractions, has great potential to boost the tourism industry. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine desirable tourism development zones based on climatic indicators. The present research method is descriptive-analytical. The Fuzzy-ANP technique and ARC GIS-Super Decision software were used to analyze the tourism development pattern in this province. The results of the evaluation of the study indicators show that the monthly average temperature index, with a weight of 0.239, has the most significant impact. The monthly average precipitation and relative humidity indexes have obtained the second and third positions of influence with values of 0.157 and 0.143, respectively. In the end, the assigned digital layers were combined using the Fuzzy Overlay operation and the summation function to determine the final value of each pixel based on the assigned weights. The calculated weight in the final map represents the classification of the regional climate comfort pattern of Fars Province. Using the classification of natural breaks, the final classification is divided into 5 classes, ranging from undesirable climate comfort to highly desirable climate comfort. The largest area of the province is assigned to zones with desirable potential (38.2). Undesirable tourism potential zones cover nearly 35% of the province's area, ranking second in this classification. In general, considering zones with very desirable and desirable tourism potential, nearly 45% of the area of Fars Province has excellent potential for tourism development. Counties located in the eastern, southeastern, northern, and northeastern parts of the province also have undesirable tourism climate comfort. 

Tourism is one of the fastest-growing industries in the second half of the twentieth century. The tourism industry is often used as a key driver of economic growth in both developed and developing countries, contributing the most significant and rapid growth among various economic sectors. Factors influencing tourism include geographic location, topography, scenery, plant and animal cover, and climate, but it is the climate that determines the attractiveness of a tourism region. Unfortunately, like many other provinces in the country, Fars Province suffers from the phenomenon of centralization and spatial injustice. Several counties, particularly those close to the provincial center, face issues such as the lack of necessary facilities and services, unemployment, and high rates of migration. Many of the region's potentials, especially its tourism capacities, are underutilized due to lack of awareness, inadequate logical planning, and insufficient investment in various sectors, making them less recognized and often overlooked. What appears in Fars Province reflects an unfavorable image of inequality and underutilization of tourism potentials, especially in comparison to the national level, indicating that proper and rational utilization of the province's tourism sector has not been realized. In this regard, there is a need for a review and reorganization of this sector in all counties of the province to create a logical and balanced regional structure.

In terms of research methodology, this study is descriptive-analytical, which is practically applicable in tourism planning. To prepare climate indices affecting Fars Province's tourism, a documentary study method was used. A comparison between climate indices and their impact was made based on the opinions of 15 academic elites. The selection criteria for these elites included theoretical expertise, practical experience, willingness, research participation capability, and accessibility. Initially, spatial data were digitized, and then, based on the existing conditions and the factors under investigation, the indices were compared pairwise using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) model within the Super Decision software. Subsequently, data matching and analysis were conducted using the fuzzy logic model in the ARC GIS environment, and the final map for the development of tourism in Fars Province based on climate indices was extracted in the GIS environment.

n this current study, the Analytic Network Process (ANP) technique has been used for prioritizing and evaluating climate indicators.The results of the evaluation of the study indicators show that the average monthly temperature index, with a weighted value of 0.239, has assigned itself the top rank of effectiveness. The average monthly precipitation and average relative humidity indices have respectively obtained the second and third ranks of effectiveness with values of 0.157 and 0.143.In the end, the digital layers with assigned weights have been combined using the Fuzzy Overlay operation and the summation function to determine the final value of each pixel based on the assigned weights. The calculated weight values in the final map categorize the regional climate comfort pattern in Fars province. Using natural break classification, the final classification is divided into 5 classes from undesirable climate comfort to very desirable climate comfort. The highest area of the province is allocated to areas with desirable tourism potential (38.2). Areas with undesirable tourism potential cover nearly 35% of the province's area, ranking next in this classification. In general, it can be said that considering areas with very desirable and desirable tourism potential, nearly 45% of Fars province has excellent potential for tourism development. Additionally, the results indicate that Shiraz city, part of Estahban, Marvdasht, and Sepidan counties, have the highest level of desirability for regional tourism comfort, which is specified in the final map with a blue color coding. The second position in terms of desirability for regional tourism comfort is held by Sepidan (north of the province), Fasa, Jahrom (central part of the province), Ghir and Karzin, Mehr, the southern part of Kazeron county, Farashband, Khonj (western part of the province), Garash and Lar (southern part of the province), which are marked in green in the classification map. Counties located in the eastern, southeastern, northern, and northeastern parts of the province such as Abadeh, Khorrambid, Eghlid, Bavanat (due to the cold climate in these areas), Neyriz, Darab, Zarrindasht, and parts of Laristan (extreme heat and low humidity) occupy the third position and are considered to have undesirable regional tourism comfort.

Results of Tourism Classification in Fars Province Based on Climate Indicators: The results of tourism classification in Fars Province based on climate indicators demonstrate that Shiraz city, a part of Estahban, Marvdasht, and Sepidan counties, have the highest level of desirability for regional tourism comfort. Consequently, in these areas, several significant benefits can be realized. Firstly, they can create more motivation for environmental conservation. Secondly, these regions, based on their higher desirability for climate comfort, have better access to natural and economic resources, which can contribute to sustainable community development. Furthermore, this can aid in ensuring food security, poverty reduction, and maintaining the overall health of the community, all of which are aspects of sustainable development. The majority of the province's area is allocated to regions with desirable tourism potential (38.2). Areas with undesirable tourism potential cover nearly 35% of the province's area, ranking next in this classification. In general, it can be said that considering areas with very desirable and desirable tourism potential, nearly 45% of Fars Province has excellent potential for tourism development.Additionally, certain regions in the eastern, southeastern, northern, and northeastern parts of the province also possess undesirable regional tourism comfort. Therefore, for these areas, the following recommendations can be made:Cultural Tourism: In regions with unique historical and cultural significance, such as Firozabad, cultural and historical tours can be organized. Introducing historical sites and important cultural locations can attract tourists interested in history and culture.Rural Tourism: Many areas in the province boast picturesque rural landscapes and villages. Offering the experience of rural life for tourists, including stays in local homes, participation in daily rural activities, and sampling local foods and beverages, can be promoted.Environmental Tourism: In many areas of the province, there are medicinal plants and sensitive ecosystems that can be leveraged for promoting eco-tourism. Emphasizing environmental conservation and providing education on protection can attract tourists interested in the environment.Local Events Promotion: Hosting local festivals and events can increase tourist attraction. The introduction of local cuisines, music, handicrafts, and local traditions can be attention-grabbing, particularly in most of the province's villages.Hosting Events and Festivals: Gardens and green spaces are often utilized for hosting festivals, exhibitions, concerts, and various events that can create unique tourist attractions. Many cities in the province, including Qir and Karzin, Jahrom, and Sepidan, have gardens and, therefore, possess significant potential in this regard.

Urban tourism is a term that describes various tourism activities in which the city is the main destination and desired location. Today, the tourism industry as one of the top industries is growing and developing rapidly. Despite the rich resources and tourism opportunities in Iran, little attention is paid to the tourism industry. Since sustainable development is referred to as a steady stream, economic, cultural and social changes to increase the level of environmental well-being of society, which seeks unity in economic, socio-cultural and environmental issues. Sustainable development is a development that can meet the needs of the present generation without destroying or damaging the needs and wants of future generations. The historical context of Dezful is one of the most important parts of the city's identity and its origin follows information from climatic and cultural structures. Urban areas, which in the past were prominent places for production, have now become centers of consumption. For many cities, this shift in attitude leads to an emphasis on the tourism industry as the engine of economic growth and, consequently, to the social and physical revitalization of the old urban fabric. The old texture of Dezful, by including the old market of the city and including historical elements, not only did not help the sustainable economy of the city, but as an inefficient part of the city away from sustainable development. In fact, sustainable urban tourism is a new approach in revitalizing these spaces, so in the nature of the present research is developmental-applied and in terms of research method (descriptive-analytical-library-field) through the VIKOR and AHP techniques to study and recognize the elements of tourism. The 28 neighborhoods of Dezful texture were studied and based on the level of desirability, dissatisfaction and VIKOR index; we reached the final ranking for the old texture neighborhoods of Dezful. The purpose of this ranking is to better and more accurately identify the study area to measure and optimize the route of tourism.

In the age of globalization and competition for cities to attract citizens, investors and tourists, the importance of the image of the city and how it was perceived was emphasized. In this era, branding is a great opportunity for cities to focus on the concept of image of the city and use different tools to promote it and attract different audiences in order to economic and social goals. The purpose of this study was to assess the perception of audiences (experts, citizens and tourists) of Bushehr and to evaluate different branding tools in its formation. In this study, first, by qualitative approach and analyzing research literature, identified different components and techniques in branding and then by field study and questionnaire using compare means one-way ANOVA in SPSS software, elements of mental image formation of Bushehr city and differences between groups have been studied. Based on the research literature, the four axes of physical structure, socio-cultural characteristics, facilities and infrastructure, and advertising of branding tools are introduced. The results show that cultural and social indicators (3.25), facilities and infrastructure (3.14) had the highest impact on the individuals mind, and physical structure (2.94) and media advertising (2.03) had the least impact, there was also a significant difference between the three groups of tourists, citizens and experts. Considering the results of this study to enhance the image of Bushehr city from exterior (tourists) and interior (citizens and others) using physical intervention tools to improve the physical space of the city including urban design and landscape along with the use of advertising and Media is essential.

Prosperity is a vast concept that has been proposed by united nations in 2012 in relation with balanced and harmonic development in an environment with fairness and justice. This concept has been introduced by united nations with six varieties: 1- Efficiency 2- Environmental sustainability 3- Justice and social participation 4- Quality of life 5- Infrastructure development 6- Urban governance and legislation. On the other had the concept of accessibility has been proposed by the majority of urban planning Theorist, as a significant criteria in promoting quality of urban life index. In this research with a descriptive – analytic approach the effects of this index in improvement of urban prosperity index has been explored. The statistical society of this research includes all citizens of 11 regions of Shiraz city that the sample’s volume has been defined 384 people with Cocran formula. For further more certainty, 10 percent has been added to samples’ volume and finally 421 people from citizens filled the questionnaire. For data analysis and measurement of urban prosperity index and accessibility in regions, confirmatory factor analysis method with structural equation modeling softwares such as AMOS, LISREL have been utilized. Exploring urban prosperity models proved that it is possible to consider accessibility indexes as a part of urban prosperity index. Accessibility indexes have an acceptable effect on urban prosperity indexes and caused urban prosperity models’ fitness to improve.

Urban planning for the purpose of development and alleviating injustice is of prime importance in developing countries. Urban planning requires recognition of areas and regions in terms of development. Alleviating injustice in attaining resources and facilities is one of the criteria of development. The concept of development involves balanced distribution in addition to comprehensive growth. The balanced distribution of facilities is a step toward removing regional differences and appropriate dispersion at city level. The Balanced development of places necessitates a precise and comprehensive investigation of economic, social, and cultural issues, and the recognition of the needs of the society and their development. For this reason, one of the common criteria of urban planning is leveling regions based on the enjoyment of different indexes of development. In the current study, using three techniques of Taxonomy Technic, Morris Technic, and Topsis Technic and 63 criteria of development in environmental-ecological, socio-cultural, economic, physical fields and the development level of urban areas in Esfahan has been analyzed. The method is descriptive-analytic and is developmental and applied. The findings reveal that district 3 ranked the first based on two models of Taxonomy Technic and Topsis Technic and ranked the second based on Morris Technic. The district 11 was recognized as the most deprived one based on the three models.

Socio-physical sustainability is a concept that emerges in the context of the sustainable development Plan as a new word template in the world. The roots of sustainable development attitudes resonate with dissatisfaction with the sources of development and physical, socio-economic growth in cities from an ecological point of view. With increasing population in recent years, cities have experienced a physical expansion. So the world in which we live is constantly changing. Therefore, the application of the concept of physical-social sustainability in city planning is a relatively new action. Because there is a clear picture of the way forward, it is necessary to ensure the correct movement and take steady steps. Undoubtedly, population statistics are very important in determining the right path for economic and social development planning. As a result of the present study, the research methodology (library, descriptive-analytical, and field studies) has examined the subject of socioeconomic stability in the context of sustainable urban development. It is also worth mentioning that data analysis is used in addition to statistical methods, such as ArcGIS, Grafer, SPSS, Visio, SmartPLS and EXCEL. The results of the research show that, in addition to the fact that the metropolitan areas of Ahwaz differ in terms of sustainability, also among studied regions, the index of study there is a significant relationship between urban planning and urban planning. Statistically, the TOPSIS average in Ahwaz metropolis was equal to (37.9%) and was ranked by region.

Checking development status and constraints of geographic environment is one of the most important issues in two districts of city and sustainable development due to stability and sustaiable development in cities. Indexes of sustainable development in dimensions of environmental geography can be used as suitable criteria to determine the place of cities and solve their problems and shortcomings in order to achieve economic welfare and resident's social-cultural health to obtain urban sustainable development. In this regard having developmental-applied nature and descriptive-analytic method, recognizing and assessing environmental sustainability purpose, that is prioritizing sustainable development in Yazd province and using Entropy-TOPSIS model and GIS, Visio, Grafer, SPSS and Excel software and 50 indicators (hygienic, environmental, cultural, economic and social) the current research aims to analyze the studied subject in the province. The results showed that in matrix model the grouping class difference of province's cities was not regular in terms of population and there was not urban place in intervals between the first floor and top floor of the matrix. So 44.22% of the citie's population distributed on the first floor and the entropy coefficient confirmed it. Its coefficient was (-0.37) in 2006 and (-0.23) in 2011 which indicated the relative movement of the urban hierarchy towards instability and more concentration. Finally development prioritization obtained using TOPSIS indicated that Yazd and Abarkuh were the most developed regions having levels 0.973 and 0.610.
