Utilizing the capacity of rural-urban linkages is effective in forming a tourism network; however, the formation of a tourism network has faced numerous challenges due to ignoring the capacity of rural-urban linkages. Hence, identifying the key drivers influencing rural-urban linkages’ capacity helps reduce these challenges.

Design/methodology/approach: 

The current applied research was conducted from April to December 2023 with a future research approach for the Alborz and Tehran region. The collected data were analyzed through semi-structured questionnaires and interviews by 34 experts using the qualitative and Delphi techniques and Micmac software.

The findings revealed that geographical advantages and environmental capabilities, such as the rural and urban establishment in a homogeneous area, suitable climate and landscape for tourism activities, small towns within the rural centers of tourism, continuous rural-urban local knowledge flow, rural-urban socioeconomic institutions, and cooperation of the urban organization with local tourism suppliers were identified as variables influencing the size of spatial and sectoral flows.

The results also revealed that the key drivers affected the spatial and sectoral flows through geographical advantages and environmental capabilities. Consequently, improving the size of spatial and sectoral flows affects the capacity of rural-urban linkages in the direction of the formation of the tourism network.Originality/value: Identifying and utilizing environmental capacities to improve the size of spatial flow and strengthen rural-urban linkages in forming a tourism network can be mentioned as the originality of the current research.

Nowadays, changes in food consumption patterns due to urbanization, increasing per capita consumption, economic growth and the move from local to global in the consumer markets necessitate ensuring food security for different countries, especially developing ones. This study investigates the impact of rural-urban linkages affected by spatial flows on food security. The present research method is quantitative and has been conducted by employing a descriptive-analytical method. The research population consisted of households in peri-urban villages of Dehdasht. Twenty one villages were randomly selected using Cochran's formula. 358 households were randomly selected from 3538 households using Cochran's formula. Correlation and regression analysis were conducted using SPSS to analyze the collected data. In addition, the structural equation model (SEM) of partial least squares regression (PLS) method was applied using SMART PLS 3. The results indicate that rural-urban linkages affected by spatial flows (independent variable) with a T value of 27.678 and a path coefficient of 0.745 have a positive effect on food security (dependent variable). Moreover, the results of multivariate linear regression showed that the social linkage and the economic linkage variable with the values 0.509 and 0.151 respectively had the greatest and the least impact on food security.

In geographical studies based on systemic approach, each area is considered as an open system in which villages and cities are the two main components of the residential system. Villages and cities have structures and functions that evolve through the interaction of the natural environment and human groups. These structures and functions in Marivan Township have undergone many changes due to government intervention and policies. Government interventions have taken the form of rural development and post-war reconstruction programs (expansion of communication networks), security, and the strengthening of economic foundations (opening of informal border markets). The aim of the present paper was to investigate the impact of the mentioned policies on the structural-functional changes of rural housing. The present study is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive-analytical in nature, and methodologically based on the positivist approach. The statistical population includes households living in 121 villages with more than 20 households (2016 census) in Marivan Township. The sample size was determined using Cochran's formula in two steps. First, 52 villages were selected by cluster sampling method in proportion to the share of the western and eastern areas of the township, 27 and 24 villages, respectively. Then, out of a total of 6305 households, 307 were selected by simple random sampling. The results showed that the housing in the western areas has undergone more structural and functional changes. According to the t-test, the average difference in changes related to the pattern of construction and form (4.64 units), biological elements (8.99 units) and livelihood (20.69 units) of rural housing in the western area is greater than the eastern part of the township.

Rural entrepreneurship can lead to more interaction between rural and urban centers and through the expansion of rural-urban flows (including the flow of people, goods, capital, information and technology), to bilateral relations and, ultimately, to rural-urban linkages. This process, in turn, leads over time to the dynamism of rural areas and the creation of more opportunities for business activities as well as the improvement of the socio-economic conditions of rural settlements. This article examines the possibility of expanding rural entrepreneurship in the villages of Dalahoo district (Kermanshah province) and tries to show that expanding these activities and the relationships connected with them can not only lead to more interaction and connection of the villages with urban centers, but in harmony with urban centers, to the prosperity and development of rural settlements. The statistical population of the study consists of 139 rural settlements in the area, which were examined descriptively and analytically. To this end, library and field methods were used with surveying tools such as questionnaires and interviews to collect the necessary data and information. The indicators used to measure rural entrepreneurship and its effectiveness for sustainable local development included increases in employment and income levels, access to services and efforts to protect the environment. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and Spss and Excel software, as well as the t-test and the Pearson correlation test. The results of the study show that rural entrepreneurs in the rural Dalahu area, despite some of the area's natural potentials and socio-economic capabilities, have not been as successful and expanding as they should be, and apparently have not been able to properly bring about the rural-urban cohesion, to achieve relative sustainable development at the local level. It is mostly due to the unbalanced distribution of rural settlements and their critical distance from the regional centers, as well as lack of easy access to exchange Bazars, where improper mechanisms are overwhelming.

Rural-Urban linkages can have a tremendous impact on regional development, as it is mentioned the city as an engine of regional development. These effects can be create positive and productive role or negative and parasitic on their field or area and different from region to another region and from city to another city. It is therefore logical understanding these effects can be effective in the planning area. This research forms the main stream issue is, “Identify and determine the status of significant rural-urban linkages with regional development levels as well as explain the role germ or Parasitic of the city about it”. The research method is descriptive and analytical and based on using field data and documents. The statistical population research includes villages of 20 households to higher in Ahvaz Township and the sample size is 90 villages or about 50 percent of villages in the township. Used software is included Expert Choice and ArcGIS. To determine the level of regional development use of 120 development indicators and ElectreIII method used. Effect of town by the 11 mainstream with 40 links the village with the city measured and obtained a significant relationship among them regional development levels. Research findings showed that a total of 40 rural-urban linkage in the area, 34 cases in 9 affecting flow city, having a significant relationship and have a positive with level of regional development and the results indicate a positive and productive role in Ahvaz city on the levels of regional development.

Rural-urban linkages include all economic, social, cultural and technological relations between urban and rural areas. Disregarding these relations in the developmental plans of the region has led to imbalance. In the context of explaining the relations between the urban and the rural, various views have been raised, including the center-periphery relations, the growth pole. In most of these theories, the development of the rural areas are under reign of urban centers. However, in the regional network approach, unlike other perspectives, rural areas, like urban areas, play an active role according to their potential in regional network. The purpose of this research is to analyze the structures affecting rural-urban links based on the regional network approach in Azal region of urmia. Therefore, after reviewing the theoretical and empirical literature, the effective indicators were extracted using the F'ANP, the combination of the two-dimensional factor analysis and analysis of the network, and AHP models, the analysis of the hierarchy. AHP analysis was performed based on questionnaire tool and expert opinions and F'ANP analysis based on data in databases. According to the results of F'ANP model, the amount of water resources with coefficient of 0.157, social cohesion with coefficient of 0.086 and migration rate with coefficient of 0.086 and also based on the results of AHP model, the amount of water resources with coefficient of 0/271, literacy rate with coefficient of 0.93 and the level of technology with coefficient of 0.072 are the most important factors among others affecting rural-urban links with regional network approach.

An examination of urban rural links in each location requires the analysis of streams linking urban and rural settlements. Such links under the heading of "flow of space" are embodied in the framework of a network approach and include flows of capital, persons, goods, information, innovation, technology, and so on. These flows include a process that, in appropriate conditions They can bring together rural urban associations that not only lead to the establishment of spatial networks, but also provide the basis for the formation of social networks. These flows have multiple components and effectiveness, appear in different spatial links and hence require their own specific policies. Since the strengthening of rural urban links with the goal of economic development and poverty reduction, it depends on the geographical, socio-economic and ecological conditions of the local and regional. In line with the discussed issues, this paper deals with the case study of Gomishan city in the framework of structural functional theory and in the framework of descriptive-analytic method to study the spatial flows in the border regions of Golestan province. The statistical population of this study included 29 border villages located in the city of Gomishan. All of these villages were studied. The results show that spatial currents are related to the urban rural development of Gomishan area. Nevertheless, the influence of some spatial flow In the area of ​​Gomishan is zero.

Commuting between rural and urban areas is one of the most important and most remarkable forms of incorporation and integration of rural and urban areas. It is a new spatial phenomenon emerging in most developing and developed countries. In this regard, the present study aims to spatially analyze the rural floating population employed in urban areas of Iran. The study data were extracted from the 2011 General Population and Housing Census. The spatial scale is analyzed at county level and the methodology is mainly exploratory. The results show that the share of rural labor force employed in urban areas in 2011 was 12.8%. However, its distribution is not uniform across the provinces and the provinces of Mazandaran, Tehran and Khorasan Razavi have the highest floating rate. Based on the results of exploratory spatial data analysis, three main focal points of rural floating population, including Tehran metropolitan region, Esfahan metropolitan region and southwest of the country with a focus on Bushehr were identified. Concentration and diversification of economic activities, industries and services are a major factor that can explain the formation process of the main centers of commuting from rural to urban areas.

Areal inequalities are the main challenge to development in many countries. In this context, areal planning is a response to shortcomings and an attempt to eliminate inequalities and to achieve areal integrated development. Aim of this study was to identify and analyze affecting factors in areal integrated development with emphasis on rural-urban linkages in Minoodasht township. This is an applied research in its nature and its method is descriptive-analytic. Three techniques were used in this study: Brainstorming, Delphi and Cross-impact matrices (using Mick Mac software). Using brainstorming and Delphi, 54 factors were identified comprising 11 factors in the agricultural sector, 4 factors in the industrial sector, 13 factors in the service sector, 4 factors in the in the manpower, 4 factors in the infrastructure sector, 3 factors in the education sector, 5 factors in the social sector, 4 factors in the natural resources sector and 6 factors in administration and planning sector. These factors were analyzed using Mick Mac software. Based on the obtained results, the system is unstable and therefore it has five categories of factors. The affecting factors contain twelve factors such as areal integrated management and areal transportation network. The independent factors contain fifteen factors such as oilseeds cultivation, forests and meadows. The planar factors contain sixteen factors such as sports tourism, entrepreneurs and e-commerce. The influenced factors contain eleven factors such as service units and cooperatives. There is not adjustment factor in the system under study.

The Strengthening of rural-urban linkages calls for a proper method and model of development and regional development. Each country pursues to employ appropriate and local patterns of development, that be compatible with its local culture, ideological basics, as well as social, economic, geographical and political conditions. Therefore, in order to create a favorable society and establish an Islamic-Iranian civilization, authorities have proposed Islamic-Iranian progress pattern for planning in Iran. The present study has been conducted in Shahreza Township, with the aim of Strengthening the rural-urban linkages, and based on Islamic-Iranian progress pattern, and with a new view and an approach compatible with the theoretical framework of the Islamic-Iranian progress pattern, is to introduce a local model compatible with geographical, economic, sociocultural, ideological, environmental, and physical conditions of the villages in this township. The present study is applied, in terms of the aim, and descriptive-analytical survey, in terms of nature and method. The population of the study includes all authorities and managers related to the subject in the township, which due to the low population size, all members of the population were counted totally. The instrument and methods of data collection were documentary and librarian, also interviews, and questionnaires. Using SPSS software, all data of the research were analyzed and to answer the research questions and testing the hypotheses, we benefited one sample t-test, paired sample mean-test, and Chi-square test. Findings indicated that the status quo of the rural-urban linkages will change, after realization of the Islamic-Iranian progress pattern and more favorable conditions will appear. It will result in reducing poverty rate, and inequalities available between cities and villages. Therefore, regarding the affectedness of rural-urban linkages from the realization of Islamic-Iranian progress pattern, and improvement of the present condition, it can be said that the realization of Islamic-Iranian progress pattern, may result in the Strengthening of rural-urban linkages in Shahreza.
