This study examines the criteria for sustainable urban development management in thriving cities around metropolises. Based on the content analysis method in examining the theories in this field, a special conceptual model has been developed that presents the role of various indicators affecting the management of sustainable urban development in thriving cities. Also, based on the case study method, the city of Lavasan was selected as a case study to provide a realistic understanding of the role of various components on sustainable urban management in thriving cities around metropolises. The research method was based on quantitative and qualitative methods. Based on the field visit, initial discussions and conceptual model of purposeful questionnaires were prepared. SPSS21 and Smart-PLS statistical techniques were used to find the relationships of the variables and to analyze the information of the questionnaires. 376 questionnaires have been analyzed in relation to the components of sustainable urban development management. The results of the analysis show that the components affecting the management of sustainable urban development in Lavasan can be in physical-spatial dimensions, quality of life, intelligent management, justice and examined equality, governance, and optimal legislation. The results also show that the physical-spatial factor is the most important effective criterion. Also, the path of factor analysis shows that achieving urban prosperity in cities around metropolises begins with smart urban management, governance and appropriate legislation in the field of physical infrastructure. Space and quality of life infrastructure lead to the spread of justice and equality in the city and ultimately lead to urban prosperity.

Nowadays, indicators have increasingly become a useful tool for policy making and monitoring affairs. Meanwhile, the tourism sector, especially urban tourism, needs to use efficient indicators in order to evaluate and make correct policies and achieve prosperity. Therefore, in the current research, the explanation of the indicators of the prosperity model of urban tourism is considered. The type of current research is applied-developmental and exploratory and its research method is descriptive-analytical and survey. Also, the approach that governs it in terms of its nature is theoretical analysis. In this research, theoretical literature in the field related to the subject has been examined with a structural and systematic point of view; in the next step, through the Delphi method, the influential components in the prosperity of urban tourism were extracted in different dimensions. The statistical population of this research is made up of elites, specialists and experts in urban management and tourism. Using the purposeful sampling method, 154 people were selected as the statistical sample of the research and their opinions were used. In the next step, structural equation modeling approach based on partial least squares has been used in order to validate the designed pattern of urban tourism development. Finally, with the help of Smart-PLS3 software, second-order confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the designed model. By carrying out this scientific process, the influential components in the prosperity of urban tourism were identified in five dimensions (economic, socio-cultural, infrastructural, sustainable and institutional). The results show that the presented model has an acceptable fit. In this regard, the highest amount of extracted average variance was related to the "socio-cultural" index with (0.81), and the lowest value was related to the "economic" index with (0.47).

The expansion of urbanization and the many issues and problems arising from it in urban life have made it more necessary to pay attention to all aspects of urban development and prosperity. In this regard, the examination of cities based on the urban prosperity Index as a broad and comprehensive conceptual framework is an important issue in the discussion of urban planning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the comparative evaluation of the eight districts of the Karaj City based on the Urban Prosperity Index (CPI). The research method is descriptive-analytical and its purpose is applied. This research is based on the method of descriptive-analytical research and based on practical purpose. The method of data collection was documented-library, and the method of their analysis was quantitative-qualitative. Also, Shannon Entropy methods (to calculate the weight of the criteria) and WASPAS multi-criteria decision-making technique have been used to analyze data and information. The results of the research show that the condition of Karaj metropolitan areas is very unfavorable condition in terms of productivity indicators and infrastructure development. The stratification of the districts in terms of Urban Prosperity Index (CPI) has shown that region 9 of Karaj City with a final score of 0.510 has a favorable condition, regions 1, 8 and 11 have semi-favorable condition and districts 2, 5, 6 and 7 (four out of eight Karaj metropolitan area) have an unfavorable condition. Also, zone five is in the most unfavorable condition with a final score of 0.235. The conclusion of this research shows that based on the final score (Qi) there is a severe inequality between the eight districts of the Karaj City in terms of urban prosperity Index (CPI). Also, the deprived districts of Karaj are geographically, the unfavorable districts of Karaj are mostly located in the east of this metropolis, and the unfavorable condition in terms of infrastructure development is a common point of these districts. 

Today, urban areas are more than half of the world's population. These areas, before being a place for growth and prosperity, have become the biggest threat to the planet in various ecological, social and economic fields. The rapid growth of urbanization, especially in developing countries, has fueled these threats, which will have destructive effects on citizens. The current urbanization trend shows that by 2050, more than 3 billion people will live in cities, which will increase the population distribution ratio by two-thirds. It is expected that this global trend of urbanization, on the one hand, will cause economic growth and development, and on the other hand, it will cause emerging challenges such as social anomalies, reduction of social identity, the spread of environmental problems, and socio-economic inequalities. The lack of proper infrastructure and the overall decrease in the quality of life in cities.The concept of prosperity was proposed by describing success, health, progress and living well. The dimensions of urban prosperity include infrastructure development, productivity, justice and social participation, governance and urban legislation, quality of life and livability. In fact, in order to become sustainable, the cities of developing countries should pay attention to the participation of different social groups, especially the poor and the preservation of the environment, in addition to improving their overall economic structure. In fact, urban prosperity, along with preserving the environment, economic production and technological development, also pays attention to indicators such as happiness, vitality, and dynamism, and it can be said that it seeks higher goals than sustainable development. This new attitude has two important functions for cities; first, it acts as a structure for measuring global competitiveness, where cities can evaluate their condition and compare their performance with other cities in the world, and secondly, it can identify problems.

The research method is descriptive-analytical, and its purpose is applied. The librarian and documentary methods were also used for data collection; articles and similar internal and external patterns and other scientific sources have also been used. The required data were collected from the official statistics of the Iranian Statistics Center and the detailed plan of Karaj. And then Shannon's entropy methods (to calculate the weight of the criteria) and the multi-criteria decision-making technique (WASPAS) are used to analyze data and information.

One of the most important tasks of urban and regional planners is to evaluate and identify the development of geographical areas to provide balanced development and development of urban areas and neighborhoods. The classification of the districts can reveal their spatial, social, cultural, and economic differences, so leveling requires careful study and study. The advantage of this is that there is a competitive atmosphere between different cities and districts in a city, which in turn provides more motivation for urban development, as well as city officials being aware of the awareness of urban development. The current performance of the city in each of the aspects of this index can make better decisions. In this study, with an analytical -descriptive approach, the measurement and comparison of Karaj city were based on the urban prosperity Index. The results of the WASPAS model and the score of the districts of Karaj city (based on the criteria of urban prosperity) show that the nine districts (0.510) are in a favorable condition in terms of urban prosperity. Also, districts one (0.346), eight (0.397) and eleven (0.328) are in a semi-favorable condition and in terms of prosperity (relatively prosperous). Districts two (0.252), six (0.253) and seven (0.248) are in an unfavorable condition in terms of prosperity, and finally, region five (0.235) is in the most unfavorable condition in terms of urban prosperity, and also, this region is at the first level of priority for development planning. Also, districts one (0.346), eight (0.397) and eleven (0.328) are in a semi-favorable condition and in terms of prosperity (relatively prosperous). Districts two (0.252), six (0.253) and seven (0.248) are in an unfavorable condition in terms of prosperity, and finally, region five (0.235) is in the most unfavorable condition in terms of urban prosperity, and also, this region is at the first level of priority for development planning.

In fact, the more than double difference between the final score (Qi) of the ninth region as the most privileged region with a score of (0.510) and the fifth region as the most deprived region (0.235) in terms of urban prosperity Index, indicates imbalance and inequality. It is deep between the districts of Karaj metropolis. Also, the deprived districts of Karaj are Geographically, the unfavorable districts of Karaj are mostly located in the east of this metropolis, and the unfavorable condition in terms of infrastructure development is the common point of these district.

Nowadays, due to the increasing growth of urbanization, especially in developing countries, the innovation of urban prosperity is one of the key human development issues facing the world. Prosperity is a broad concept that is related to balanced and harmonious development in an environment with fairness and justice.

This research has practical-developmental goals and its nature and method is analytical-exploratory. In the theoretical part of this research, the required data and information have been collected using the library method, and in the field part, the required data has been obtained using a questionnaire based on the Delphi technique. In this research, our statistical population includes specialists and experts of Yazd city, and 30 people were selected as a sample from the statistical population by using the targeted non-probability sampling method. Then, using the Delphi method and completing the questionnaire by experts, 43 primary variables were identified. In the next step, the matrix of cross effects was designed to measure the influence of the variables on each other and was provided to the experts for scoring. The results were analyzed using the structural analysis technique and MICMAC software, and finally, from a total of 43 primary influencing variables, 10 factors were identified as the key driving factors affecting the urban prosperity of Yazd.

:Findings shows that the most influence among the five dimensions is related to 1- Justice and non-discrimination with 28.93%, 2- Quality of life 21.23%, 3- 18.71%.Also, the most dependent among the five dimensions is related to 1- Justice and non-discrimination with 29.24%, 2- quality of life 23.58%, 3- productivity17.40%.

The Conclusion show that among the key drivers affecting the future prosperity of the city of Yazd are the variables, the area of worn-out fabric (372), access to water resources (372), youth unemployment (352), poverty rate (348), Participation of people in government (338), average income (331), the percentage of marginalized households (331), the percentage of women's employment (321), and the ratio of employment to population (310), Savings rate (307) have had the most impact. The conclusion shows that the urban development system in Yazd city is unstable and the lack of influencing variables threatens the stability of the system.

Today, urban prosperity has become one of the important issues in the field of urban development. In this regard, this article has tried to identify and cluster the driving forces affecting the future state of the prosperity of the metropolis of Tehran using the method of structural analysis. Theoretical data was prepared by document method and experimental data by survey method based on Delphi technique. The statistical population is 20 urban experts based on snowball sampling. 49 primary drivers have been processed in MICMAC software in 6 statistical categories and identified by structural interaction analysis method. The results of this research show that the general distribution pattern of the drivers studied, in terms of mutual effects analysis, indicates the state of an unstable environmental system in which the drivers of urban prosperity have a complex and intermediate state in terms of effectiveness and effectiveness. The focus of drivers is mostly in the cluster of independent factors. Poverty rate, Gini coefficient, employment rate, unemployment rate, accessibility to public open spaces, recreation per capita, space per capita, satisfaction with the quality of health care services, satisfaction with the security of the physical environment, the number of young unemployed, the employment rate in the informal sector, Cultural per capita, the amount of destruction and renovation of worn-out structures, waste generation per capita, civic participation were chosen as the most important driving forces for the future prosperity of Tehran metropolis.

Urban form is a container where urban activities take place, the importance of the city form is due to the functions it has for the residents of a city.  The connection of the components of urban prosperity and urban form is evident, so they can be improved by each other.  

This study aims to explain the relationship between the elements of the urban physical form and the feasibility of urban prosperity in Lahijan City. Therefore, the research has investigated the effects of these indicators (density, connection, mixing, communication networks and transportation, spatial distribution of activities) on the feasibility of the urban prosperity index.

This research has an analytical-descriptive approach using factor analysis. Also, for data analysis, one-sample T-test and SPSS software were used.

Geographical Context:

 Lahijan is a city in the east of Gilan Province, which is adjacent to the Caspian Sea from the north, Langerood from the east, Deylaman from the south, Siahkal from the southwest, and Astana Ashrafieh from the west. Its population was reported as 167,544 in the 2016 census.

The findings show that the highest score of 88.3 belongs to the spatial distribution of activities. The lowest score is 2.19 that belongs to connection and spatial communication. The specific value of the corresponding variance shows that the first to third factors (spatial distribution of activities, communication network and transportation and density) together account for 96.66% of the variance.  The density factor accounts for 16.233% of the total variance of the influencing factors on the realization of urban prosperity.

The first and second factors, or the spatial distribution of activities and the communication and transportation network explain 49.966 percent of the realizable amount of urban prosperity in the studied area. Therefore, the more the impact of the urban physical form, the more the realization of urban prosperity in the studied area.

Urban prosperity is a holistic and comprehensive approach that describes success, health, progress and well - being, and by promoting economic, social, political and environmental quality, it provides the necessary ground for cities to be livability. The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate the indicators of urban prosperity and its effects on viability in 22 areas of Tehran. This research is applied in terms of purpose and is based on descriptive - analytic nature. The statistical population of this research is the metropolis of Tehran with a population of 8679936 people, the sample size was estimated 385 people based on Cochran's formula, which was increased to 391 people to achieve better results. In order to analyze the issue, a framework of 5 indicators of urban prosperity in the form of 50 items and 3 indicators of viability in the form of 25 items were compiled and selected based on the studies of other researchers. The results of multivariate regression showed that the infrastructure development index has the greatest impact on livability and explains 0.809 of the total variance. The results of the research findings based on codas technique show that in 22 metropolitan areas of Tehran, only one area was in very good condition in terms of urban prosperity indicators, six areas at good levels, nine areas at medium level, and six areas at They were in poor condition.The results show; In order to improve the areas that are at a low level, as well as to maintain and improve the conditions in the areas that are in good condition, it is necessary to pay attention to the development of infrastructure, productivity, quality of life, and….

Today, urban prosperity is known as one of the most effective solutions to economic growth, the dominant of social relations, environmental sustainability and better quality of life in cities and neighbourhoods. The debate on the concept of urban prosperity was first formed in the 1930s. The United Nations Human Settlements Organization in 2012, provided comprehensive indicators on urban prosperity. The aim of this research is a cooperative evaluation of the urban neighborhoods in district 6 of Tehran based on urban prosperity indicators. Applying urban prosperity in neighborhood planning is a new policy in sustainable urban development. This research based on the method, is descriptive-analytical and in terms of aim is applied. The data collection method was documentary-library. The WASPAS model was used to rank the neighborhoods and the entropy model was used to weight the indicators. The results of applying the WASPAS decision making model show that there is a difference between the 14 neighborhoods of region 6 than the urban prosperity indexes. The ranking of neighborhoods in terms of urban prosperity indicated that the three neighborhoods of Yousefabad, Keshavarz and Valiasr had the favorable status with final score of 0.337, 0.334 and 0.259, respectively, six neighborhoods with average status and five neighborhoods (Nizami Ganjavi, Jihad, Behjat Abad, Fatemi and Jamalzadeh) are in undesirable condition and are at the superiority of urban development planning. The results also showed that the urban prosperity environmental dimension had the most neighborhoods (11 neighborhoods) with undesirable conditions.

The expansion of urbanization and the specific issues and problems of urban life, it is necessary to pay attention to the comprehensive and beneficial strategies for optimization the life of the inhabitants of the cities. In this regard, the concept of urban prosperity is considered as a broad conceptual framework in the field of human and social welfare development measurement, which includes 5 dimensions of productivity, quality of life, infrastructure, social justice and environmental sustainability. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate urban prosperity in the four regions of Ardabil. This research is applied theory in terms of purpose, and analytical description in terms of nature and method. To achieve the research goal, the 5 main criteria of urban prosperity index are used in the form of 55 sub-criteria. The information and data required in this research have been collected using library resources and statistics of 2016. For analysis, first the data is standardized and then the network analysis process (ANP) is used to weight each of the indicators. Finally, using the Prometheus model, urban prosperity has been scored for each of the four districts of Ardabil. Research results shows districts 1 and 2 of Ardabil city are relatively weak and districts 3 and 4 are weak in terms of having urban prosperity index. Also, due to the concentration of facilities in the central parts of the city, from the rate of urban prosperity decreases from the city center to the outskirts in all areas. the ranking of the regions shows that regions 1 and 4 have the highest and lowest urban prosperity by scores of 50.20 and 49.77, respectively.

Urban prosperity is considered a new and fundamental approach to explain the vision and path of development and its more specific example, sustainability in today's cities, which are facing many problems in different dimensions. On the other hand, the concept of this approach promotes a new pattern or model of urban design based on global theories and at the same time adaptable to contextual and local conditions, nature and dynamics. Considering the importance of planning and designing today's cities based on urban prosperity indicators, the present research was written with the aim of developing a sustainable development realization patern based on prosperity indicators in Alishahr new city. In this regard, the research method is mixed (combination of quantitative-qualitative approaches) with practical purpose and analytical-developmental nature. The statistical population of the research included experts and city officials of Alaishahr, which due to the unknown number of the statistical population, was used Cohen's formula to determine the sample size at the 95% confidence level, and the sample size was estimated to be 90 people. In order to analyze data and information, was used structural equation modeling method in AMOS software. The findings of the research show that the most important variables affecting the realization of Urban prosperity in Alishahr new city are respectively infrastructures, productivity, quality of life, equality and participation and environmental sustainability, which respectively, their influence based on the structural model is 0.79, 0.67, 0.58, 0.56 and 0.51. Also, the components of emphasis on intelligentization of various functions, diversity in businesses, improvement of citizenship skills, vitality of urban spaces and proper access to various facilities and urban services are among the components that influence the realization of urban prosperity in Alishahr.

Cities have emerged as the center of change and where policies are implemented. In this regard the final document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development states with the title of the future we want; if cities are planned and developed as well, they can make it happen the Sustainable economic, social and environmental communities. This organization introduced a model In the name of the Prosperity city to realize the happiness of cities. This can draw the vision of comprehensive development for cities by analyzing the current situation and prioritizing planning interventions. In this research that has been done with the goal evaluation of Prosperity indicators in the neighborhoods of Saqez city; Effective indicators have been identified in the Prosperity of Saqqez neighborhoods Using MicMac software and then these key factors were graded using the copras model at the level of 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city and GIS is used for visual expression. In this study, 49 indicators have been used in five dimensions in order evaluation of Prosperity indicators. 14 key indicators are known using MiceMac software.‌ Research results show that according to the Prosperity indicators of 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city; neighborhoods 16, 19, 4, 11, 10 have little effect which are located in the southeast of the center and west of the city and neighborhoods 22, 21, 9, 2, 20.1 are in a better position to achieve prosperity which are located in the southeast, center and north of the city. Must be said spatial improvement and proper distribution of revenues, Greater cohesion and participation, the possibility of access to neighborhoods with low impact on parks and educational services and better distribution of indicators, especially indicators of productivity and quality of life are the most important proposals at the neighborhood level. 

Due to the existing competitive environment and the development of new technologies in the age of globalization, UN-Habitat has taken a new approach in the field of urban development; a holistic and integrated approach to promote welfare and play a public role. This new approach helps cities in better management of the future of the city in the economic, political, social and environmental fields. This approach is called urban prosperity. Prosperity means success, wealth, progress, health or felicity. Urban prosperity creates a sense of individual and public social and economic security for the present and future of cities and it is realized of other immaterial needs and desires and the indicators of urban prosperity are complex and it's a multifaceted issue and understanding these complexities, accessibility indicators, valuation and measurement are important. The spatial structure of a city consists of components and elements and is with each other in interaction and each of these components will be affected on the whole structure. These indicators of urban prosperity are expressed as an urban prosperity cycle; includes: productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, social dimensions and environmental sustainability. In recent decades, Iranian cities encountered with rapid and unstable development and this does not end with urban development and there is a lot of problem, these problems are significant in cities. In the meantime, a multifaceted look and tool must be considered to address urban issues and challenges to guide cities towards real development to achieve this, the CPI is effective. The Urban Prosperity Index was introduced through the UN-Habitat Program and in Iran in the year 2016, it coincided with the start of the city council elections; the approaches of each study must change in accordance with the characteristics of the defined society and be localized. Optimal results can be one of three modes; Intermediate, critical, desirable which is done according to the situation of cities in the future. Optimal condition is required to vision and planning.

The research method is descriptive-analytical by nature and is done with a functional purpose. In this research, first, it was dealt with a systematic and structural view Review of theoretical literature on urban prosperity then effective indicators and variables were extracted in urban flourishing in five dimensions (Productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, equality and social participation and environmental sustainability), it has been done based on theoretical foundations and using the Delphi method. In the second stage Indicators were analyzed In the MicMac software environment and was scored using the interaction technique (structural analysis method) finally, key factors were extracted in urban prosperity and in the next step leveling in the neighborhoods of Saqez city using the Copras Model. Finally, some suggestions were made.

In this research, 49 indicators of urban prosperity have been measured in 5 dimensions and in Mikomak environment the results indicate,14 key indicators are important; Including creative forces, specialization, life expectancy, unemployment, production, participation, existence of universities, educational services, mortality, industry, mobile services, transportation costs which are known as controlling and influential forces on the open system. The assessment shows this on how to distribute the key factors of urban prosperity in 22 neighborhoods of Saqez city with the Copras Modelm, There has been a huge difference in terms of indicators at the neighborhood level so that neighborhoods 16, 19, 4, 11, 10 were among the neighborhoods with low impact. These neighborhoods are unsuitable neighborhoods in terms of productivity index which are located in the southeast, west and center of the city in these neighborhoods, working conditions have been low due to the greater instability in the dimensions of employment and income, which will be much less depending on the amount of financial support and predict when to get a new job and so on has made more attention. Essential to the mentioned neighborhoods these neighborhoods are unsuitable in terms of infrastructure index and the importance of access is essential to parks and spaces and it can be said that these neighborhoods are in a lower degree in terms of social participation they are located in relation to other neighborhoods. It is necessary to pay attention to these sub-indicators in order to provide prosperity in the area of these neighborhoods, to identify the key issues and problems of these neighborhoods finally, take an appropriate intervention approach. These neighborhoods are at a low level with high population density and incompatible uses and educational services. In these neighborhoods, residents' access to educational centers has faced problems due to the small width of the passages and the instability of the cross section and permeability. The process of proper access to these centers should be on the agenda especially in neighborhoods 16 and 19 and with the support of the public and government sectors and it should be noted that The revitalization process should not lead to the loss of the identity of these neighborhoods. Intervention in these neighborhoods must be maintained structural values and physical properties as well as nature No building materials have been used in these neighborhoods Complies with standards and do not have the necessary retrofitting facilities. This is the instability of buildings and structures a great threat to the lives of the residents of these neighborhoods and increase mortality in the face of natural disasters and it changes the life expectancy of the residents and neighborhoods 22, 21, 9, 2, 20, 1 are in the first ranks in order to achieve the prosperity of Saqez neighborhoods.

The result of the research showed that Productivity and quality of life indicators have higher scores and infrastructure, social, and sustainability indicators have the lowest scores among the indicators of urban prosperity which can be a great guide for urban management.

Today, good urban governance is a new approach in the structure of urban management that has challenged all traditional and centralized approaches to urban management. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of good urban governance on urban prosperity in Shiraz. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The statistical population of the study consists of citizens of Shiraz, which according to the 2016 census was 1569534 people, which was selected as a sample using a Cochran's volume-sample formula of 384 people. One-sample t-test, multivariate regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the research findings. The results of t-test showed that the accountability index with an average of 3.313 has the highest average and the efficiency and effectiveness index with an average of 2.809 has the lowest average among the indicators of good urban governance in Shiraz. Quality of life index with an average of 3.365 has the highest average among urban prosperity indices and equality and social justice index with an average of 2.887 has the lowest average among urban prosperity indices in Shiraz. In order to investigate the effects of good urban governance on urban prosperity in Shiraz, multivariate regression test has been used. The results showed that good urban governance had the greatest effect with a beta coefficient of 0.387 on the quality of life index and the lowest effect with a beta coefficient of 0.143 on the production ability index. And urban prosperity with Pearson coefficient 554 / has a direct and significant relationship between the two.

Today, urban prosperity is considered as one of the ways to achieve a better quality of life, participation and social cohesion, environmental sustainability and in addition economic development and productivity. The purpose of this study is to present a strategic-operational development plan of District 5 of Karaj (planning target area) with an urban prosperity approach.

This research based on the method, is descriptive-analytical and in terms of aim is applied. In the first step, in order to identify the target area of planning, the quantitative data obtained from different sources using software have been converted into 27 indicators in the form of 5 dimensions of urban prosperity. The WASPAS decision-making model has been used to level the areas of Karaj city. In the following, by completing the questionnaire, field observation and studying the relevant documents, the internal evaluation of the region has been done. In the second step (strategic planning) using AIDA technique, proposed policies and projects to achieve urban prosperity in District 5 of Karaj are presented.

District 5 of Karaj city (with a final score of 0.235) is in the worst situation in terms of urban prosperity dimensions and was selected as a problematic area and planning target. Also, the findings of the technique (AIDA) show that one of the most important obstacles to the failure of urban prosperity in this area is the lack of citizen participation and lack of accountability. Increasing citizen participation and social learning in this area is the key to achieving urban prosperity. Equality and participation is only one of the five dimensions of urban prosperity, but without it, development in the other four dimensions cannot be achieved. In fact, without social capital and the participation of the people, other projects will be meaningless and unsuccessful.

The dimensions of viability, equality, participation and productivity in the 5th district of Karaj are worse than other dimensions. That is why most of the strategic projects are about these dimensions, the realization of which requires the participation of the people.

Every city goes through ups and downs in order to achieve prosperity; Sometimes factors contribute to its flourishing, and sometimes some problems put this flourishing at risk. A clear understanding and use of these factors is important in planning and reforming policies and supporting some of the structures and mechanisms that influence prosperity; For this reason, it is necessary to know the factors that encourage and hinder prosperity in any city. The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the effects of urban flourishing on urban viability in Saravan. This research is applied based on purpose and descriptive-analytical research based on its nature and method. Data collection was done through library resources and survey. The main research tool is a questionnaire. The statistical population size was 60014 people and the sample size was 384 people based on Cochran's formula. The results of one-sample t-test show that Saravan city is not in a good position in terms of urban prosperity indicators. Quality of life index with beta value of 0.314 had the highest and production ability index with beta coefficient of 0.126 had the least impact on the viability of Saravan city. Infrastructure index with beta coefficient of 0.254, equality and social justice index with beta coefficient of 0.212 and environmental sustainability index with beta coefficient of 0.158, respectively, in the second to fourth ranks of the most influential urban prosperity indices on They are located in the city of Saravan. Also, among the indicators of urban prosperity in Saravan, the infrastructure index with an average of 3.235 has the highest average and the environmental sustainability index with an average of 2.277 has the lowest average.

Never before has mankind faced such an accumulation of multiple crises in cities. Therefore, special attention to cities in general and urban prosperity in particular in the world and Iran seems necessary. The present study was done to identify the driving forces affecting urban prosperity. For this purpose, Bojnord city, the capital of North Khorasan province, was selected as sample. This research is applied in terms of purpose and combined in terms of method. Library and field methods (expert questionnaire) were used to collect information. Regarding the identification of effective driving forces, 20 experts in urban flourishing were selected as participants. The indicators were examined according to the UN CPI program in six areas (productivity, infrastructure development, quality of life, justice and social participation, environmental sustainability, and urban governance and legislation) forming 25 variables. Data analysis was performed using the interaction analysis method in Micmac Software. The results showed that the variable of information and communication technology have most impact and the least dependence. Furthermore, economic power, economic status, employment status, housing infrastructure, social infrastructure, health and health infrastructure, public space, safety and security, economic equality, social status, waste management technology, sustainable energy technology, status and ability to manage the city and the geographical location of the city have the most impact.

Today, urbanization and population growth have led to the development of cities with numerous problems. Hence, several approaches have been proposed to answer the problems of urban development and ultimately achieve sustainable development. In this regard, urban prosperity has been proposed to achieve balanced and harmonious and sustainable development in cities. The present paper aims to prioritize the urban areas of Tabriz metropolis in terms of five dimensions of urban prosperity. This research is applied in terms of purpose and is descriptive-analytical in terms of method.

In order to achieve this goal, all factors involved in the development and prosperity of the metropolis of Tabriz, in the form of five dimensions of prosperity including productivity, infrastructure, quality of Life, equity and inclusion, environmental sustainability have been extracted. And their relationship has been evaluated structurally by the MICMAC software and fifteen key factors have been extracted. At this stage, spatial data from existing urban maps and non-spatial data from housing census data have been extracted. And, by integrating geographic information systems and decision-making Support Systems, information was analyzed and ultimately, urban areas were ranked in terms of prosperity key factors with the Oreste model.

Geographical area of research:
