Understanding the impact of bank facility payment with social banking approach on sustainable rural and nomadic development with the mediation of social capital in line with the theoretical approaches of social capital (Bourdieu), sustainable development (Amartiasen), social banking (Bendikter) and sustainable social development (McKenzie). This was the study. Quantitative method and questionnaire tools were developed by the researcher, and Cronbach's alpha was above 0.70, sustainable development was 0.87, social capital was 0.84, and social banking was 0.93. The population was the recipients of the facilities of the Bank, which was studied by cluster sampling of five selected provinces, and the recipients of the facilities were studied as a sample from the selected provinces. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results showed that social capital played the biggest role in explaining the process of sustainable development, and the role of social banking in the process of sustainable development of nomads (71 percent) was stronger than the of sustainable rural development (34 percent). The environment has been the most influential component in the sustainable development, followed by profit and finally people. Also, social capital (40%) has been effective in realizing social banking. Therefore, it can be concluded that in order to sustainable rural and nomadic development pay attention to the social banking and social capital.

Today, addressing environmental issues as well as planning for environmental protection for creating a suitable environment for human life, has become one of the main concerns of governments around the world. This resulted in confronting and problem solving environmental policy issues to site on the agenda of governments. The Islamic Republic of Iran has considered the environmental issues in the form of Five-Year Programs for Economic, Social and Cultural Development plans. The main questions of this study are as follows: A. what is the place of environment in strategic national development plans of the Islamic Republic of Iran? B. What kind of environmental discourse has dominated on the five-year development programs? This study has utilized documentary method. The results of the study show that the first and third Development Program were affected by discourse of environmentalism and in the fourth and fifth ones, development discourse of ecosystem were dominant. The result also indicates that environmental justice was not considered in the Five-Year Economic Development Plans. The paper ended up with the suggestion that regarding ecosystem discourse as well as environmental justice, there is a critical need for setting up National Environmental Policy.

The present study aimed to explain the relationship between the variable of citizenship culture and lifestyle of environmental health among citizens aged 18-70 years living in Hamadan province. The t. The research was conducted by survey method using a researcher-made questionnaire technique. The sample size was selected using Cochran's formula equal to 660 people among citizens living in three cities of Hamadan province and by simple multi-stage and random cluster sampling. By examining the information and also analyzing the data using SPSS and Amos software, an attempt has been made to properly explain the data and the communication model. Based on the results of Amos, after reviewing and confirming the model, two partial indicators of critical ratio CR and P have been used to test the significance of the hypotheses. Based on the significance level of 0.05, the critical value is more than 1.96. Which indicates the confirmation of the hypotheses. Also, the ratio of Chi-square to the degree of freedom is equal to 5.796, which indicates that the model is desirable. The results of the correlation test show a significant relationship between citizenship culture (0.36) and environmental health lifestyle. . According to the regression results, the variable of enjoying social rights with a beta coefficient of 0.270 best explains the dependent variable of health lifestyle.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between social acceptance according to planning of behaviour and sustainable development of students in using bicycles. The research method was descriptive-correlational, distributed by a questionnaire. The statistical population of the study was students of Imam Reza University of Mashhad. A randomized simple sampling method was used to collect the questionnaire (32 items) from 5 to 7 times 254 people. According to the probability distribution, 270 questionnaires were distributed among the subjects. A researcher-made questionnaire based on the Spritzer model (1997) and social acceptance questionnaire based on the theory of planned behavior of Eisen (1985), derived from previous research was used. The reliability coefficient (83/0) came out. Findings of the research indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between social acceptance and sustainable development (P<0.05). Also, 20% of the changes in sustainable development were related to the dimensions of social acceptance. Based on the results and given the importance of the role of social acceptance in improving and enhancing the sustainable development of bicycle use, it can be argued that by studying and researching this field, and paying attention to the development of these factors, we have taken effective steps towards achieving sustainable development.

Abstract Today, metropolitan cities face many problems in the economic, social, environmental and physical fields such as reducing the livability and diminishing the importance of urban ecology in the urban housing structure. Therefore, the necessity and importance of paying attention to sustainable development theory and its resulting approaches, like the livability approach, will create a city away from the economic, social, environmental and physical problems. The purpose of this paper is to measure the variables affecting citizens' satisfaction from the status of the factors of the habitat of the metropolitan city of Shiraz, following a more scientific explanation and a more expert look on the factors of livability. Accordingly, in view of the study of theoretical literature on survival, a conceptual framework consisting of octagonal factors has been developed to study the formulation of research and analysis. This is an applied and descriptive-analytical method. The characteristics of gender, age, level of education and economic satisfaction as individual and independent characteristics have been identified in this regard, in order to determine their impact on the satisfaction of the condition of livability and its octagonal factors as dependent variables. The sample size was calculated using the Cochran formula and considering the maximum heterogeneity hypothesis for the 11 regions of the city of Shiraz, 384 people. In order to analyze the data, statistical methods such as frequency distribution, single sample T, Spearman, Fay and Kramer correlation coefficients were used. SPSS software was used for this purpose. Fuzzy multi-criteria methods were used to understand the livability position of the regions. The results showed that the satisfaction rate of citizens from the situation of livability is not favorable, and areas in zones one and two with a high and average satisfaction are the best places for survival. The reason for this is the livability of services and amenities in the areas of interest. Keywords: Livability, Livable City, Sustainable Development, Shiraz Metropolis.

This article would first present an explanation on the importance of co-operative organizations as social movement in the world today and then will pay enough attention to the sustainable development. Sustainable development generally can be seen as means of preservation of environment and natural resources in close relation with production in a way that certain social infections such as poverty, inequality and income gap among different social groups or regions will either be eradicated or alleviated. The elements that bring about both sustainable development and social progress will be worked out here and the grassroots of environmental depletion and degradation of natural processes in a capitalist market economy will be made known. The debate shall normally shift to the subject of co-operatives and their inherent capacities and potentials to provide suitable conditions for sustainability. Co-operatives are well aware that they automatically should reproduce favorable grounds for sustainable development. As a consequence the article would focus on the significant share of co-operatives in today’s economy and the role they play in stability and preservation of sustainable development.
