In recent decades, the subject of urban development has gradually developed into a modern and dominant paradigm in the theoretical and academic literature on urban development and planning. Although it has been seen through different perceptions and interpretations, the paradigm generally emphasizes the sustainability and persistence of development for all and future generations. This development requires multilateral consideration of intricate dimensions of economic, social, political, cultural, and environmental issues on different scales. The literature results show that the physical development of Arak, as a metropolitan city in the middle part of Iran and close to the capital, is in an undesirable and unsustainable state. This unsustainability attracted attention to issues such as the land-use change from agricultural to residential, environmental destructions, traffic, urban furniture, slums, etc. Accordingly, the present research aimed at studying pathologically Arak urban development from the standpoints of structural, contextual, and behavioral damages. It also considered the points of view of Arak's residents. The residents' points of view were considered because of their familiarity with the issues of their city's urban development, and considering their experiences is a valuable act because it results in increased social capital and social participation. This is an applied and explorative research regarding its objective and method, respectively. The statistical population of the research was 384 persons, which included all Arak's residents 18 years old or older who were selected by multi-stage random cluster sampling, which was done according to the upper limit in Morgan's table. Affirmative factor analysis was used to analyze the data. The research model estimation was done and confirmed using Lisrel software. To assess the research model fitness, different indices were used, such as Chi-square of the degree of freedom, characteristic roots statistics, mean square error, P-Value, and CFI. Indices' values and comparing them with a fitted model showed the proper fitness of the structural model. The factors were ranked based on factor loading, and the conceptual model of urban development damages was presented in three groups structural, contextual, and behavioral. The model showed that structural damages included inability in providing income resources, the existing organizational chart, and lack of a clear organizational mission and objectives; The contextual damages included lack of citizens' participation in urban management and neglecting the costumers' opinions. Behavioral damages included lack of supervising the staff's performance, the influence of organizational culture on the staff's performance, lack of consciousness and knowledge among the staff, and lack of recognition of working standards.Accordingly, the citizens' opinions and prioritizing in removing urban development damages can be considered in Arak's urban development policymaking, which in turn will result in increased participation of the citizens in urban development projects and decreased urban development expenditures, increased social trust in the citizens and turn increased social order, increased social dynamics, increased social relationships in urban neighborhoods and among the citizens, this produces some benefits such as increased capabilities and skills of the citizens in solving problems all of which will result in more social protection for the citizens.

Successful implementation of knowledge management in an organization requires that various organizational factors, certain features of coherence and coordination are necessary. And there are gaps and inconsistencies between these factors hinder the successful implementation of knowledge management, will be. Thus, for successful implementation of knowledge management, organization as a whole needs to be looked at and considered all these factors and their status in the organization are identified and analyzed. This paper explores the barriers to knowledge management, Airports Holding Country in country, paid, and then will be prioritized. After evaluation techniques available to achieve a response, Analytic Hierarchy Process as the most suitable method was selected. To determine the priority of hierarchical analysis, comparison matrix formed and compared to determine their compatibility using the formula rate adaptation, adjustment range, all comparisons were calculated. The results confirmed that the pair comparison is carried out, the adjustment was appropriate. The final results of the main obstacles to prioritize proves that in order to measure cultural factors, human factors, technical factors, external factors and structural factors are the degree of priority. Five obstacles in order of preference, lack of planning and implementing activities in the field of culture and exchange of knowledge, lack of confidence based on knowledge sharing environment, lack of adequate support for the activities of the organizational culture creation and transfer of knowledge, lack of senior management support knowledge management and lack of access to information and knowledge, organizations are required by the national and international level.
