Evaluating the ecological security of ecotourism (EES) in protected areas is critical because these play a vital role protecting biodiversity and natural resources. This study evaluated EES status Central Alborz Protected Area (Northern Iran), based on Driver, Pressure, State, Impact, Response (DPSIR) model. We developed comprehensive list 59 indicators for DPSIR model employed an Analytical Network Process (ANP) to determine indicator weights harnessing opinion experts which are most influential. approach facilitated identification regions with highest vulnerability, notably northern western sectors our area along boundary between Tehran Mazandaran provinces. Here, mechanisms that drive change include activities, livestock overgrazing, uncontrolled physical economic extensive road highway development, land use cover changes. Indicators effective determining status, activities. conclude by discussing respond increasing threat Areas such as involvement government strategic integrated management. Our serves methodological blueprint how evaluate Areas.

Urban sprawl poses a significant and escalating challenge in developing countries, including Iran, leading to substantial transformations urban areas. Despite efforts manage spatial development, uncontrolled exerts considerable pressure on resources, infrastructure, the environment. This study aims identify quantify drivers of investigate their interrelationships within Iranian metropolises. To achieve this objective, employs mixed-method approach, commencing with review existing literature expert surveys based PESTEL analysis Delphi method. stage identified categorized 40 key (sub-factors) into six main categories (factors): political, economic, social, technological, environmental, legal. Subsequently, DEMATEL-based Analytic Network Process (DANP) method is utilized explore internal among factors sub-factors determine relative weights, offering deeper insights relationships importance. The findings reveal complex interplay legal driving Iran. Key include political fragmentation, economic competition, social preferences for suburban living, rural-to-urban migration, increasing housing demand, weak regulations, natural constraints, inadequate transportation impact technological advancements. Based these findings, recommends holistic approach sustainable development emphasizing need stakeholder engagement, participatory decision making, reforms, investments public infrastructure.

This study explores the impact of street pattern measurements on urban heat islands (UHI) in arid climate Mashhad, Iran. The Landsat-8 top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) brightness images from 2013 to 2021, average values normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and land surface temperature (LST) were calculated. Street measurements, including closeness-centrality, straightness, orientation, employed analyse patterns each district. results indicated that districts with higher straightness lower closeness-centrality exhibit cooler temperatures. Strong correlations observed between LST NDVI, local closeness-centrality. research highlighted importance considering network long-term planning design mitigate UHI effect regions. A moderate grid a reasonable distribution green spaces throughout region is suggested reduce temperatures sustainably. indexes, such as are identified significant factors UHI. These findings have implications for planners, who can use this information create effects by reducing increasing straightness.

This article addresses the class imbalance problem in urban gain modelling (UGM) of Tabriz and Isfahan megacities Iran by proposing novel cost-sensitive machine learning models, namely support vector (CSVM), random forest (CRF) artificial neural network (CANN). Random sampling, a frequently utilized method, fails to effectively tackle this issue biasing models towards no change samples, which outnumber samples. The results showed that CRF exhibited highest accuracy (AUC = 0.560), followed CANN 0.557) CSVM 0.448) Isfahan. In Tabriz, 0.809) 0.818) excelled, outperforming balanced sampling constructed with ANN, RF SVM AUROC ANN boosted 15% 2% validation. By emphasizing significance addressing appropriately, research highlights improvement outcomes achievable through especially case.
