Since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, five development programs have been implemented and from the third one, the focus has been on regional development which has been the subject of numerous studies in recent years. The present study, which is a qualitative meta-analysis, tries to examine the studies on the inequality of development programs in the regions of the country and at the same time to give a process description of the results obtained from them. An examination of 19 papers conducted between 2006 and 2015 shows that there is a significant repetition in the methods, foundations and results, and the overlap of the indicators, despite the differences in the method, has led to the closeness of the results. We are also considering significant gaps in the development levels of the provinces. It is noteworthy that the results show minimal displacements among a limited number of provinces in the last three decades and gradually show a stabilized pattern that, while indicating the stagnation of inequality, confirms the central-peripheral pattern of development indicators in the provinces.

Due to the many social harms, Harandi neighborhood is an arena for many non-governmental organizations to enter, which have created opportunities and, of course, threats.The present study is the result of 18 months of field study aimed at typology of NGOs in Harandi based on the nature, functions, and identifying the rationality of them. For this purpose, we observed, interviewed and formed focus discussion groups with the public and 14 active NGOs. The results show that, from a typological point of view, Harandi falls into the category of "other profitable" ones. Their main functions include the learning function has serious weaknesses because it has not been able to accumulate its knowledge transfer to other generations or groups. Empowerment does not usually happen completely, and people do not connect to the job market. In addition, NGOs present in Harandi, as an example of such organizations in the country, have not yet been able to define their relationship with the community. A review of the typology, functions, and organizational rationality can greatly alleviate this shortcoming.

Progress in the cultural context and attention to culture are important steps in achieving development, and achieving economic development is considered as a requirement for development dependent on cultural elements in the social context of an ecosystem. According to the theoretical framework of functionalism of cultural needs, they provide the grounds for any economic action in the direction of development, so that meeting the needs, defining new needs and in the hierarchy of needs, function, new concepts to the socio-economic structure of society. Culture also has the function of satisfying human needs in social life and adapting human beings to the environment around them, and the various components of culture participate closely in each other and in fulfilling this desire. The present article is a developmental research that has been done by documentary method during the years1394 to1397 in Guilan province. According to the findings and results of cultural research, especially popular culture, it has a special place in development, but not all aspects of popular culture in Guilan do not talk much about development. Rituals play a key role in all economic processes. The destiny of Guilani's legends cannot guide the economic activities that underlie economic development.

Today, the tourism industry has succeeded to create a new type of tourism, called "virtual tourism" by using technology. This technology has provided a platform for people to be present in the digital world, allowing them to view any audio, visual and textual information from the real world. Evidences show that this possibility has significant effects on one's mental well-being. Accordingly, the main purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyze the impact of virtual tourism on mental well-being by using the pleasure motivation system theory. In order to have an access to the needed information for analyzing these effects, we have extracted the data in the period of December to the end of January 2020 by using the survey method. The statistical population of this study was considered unlimited due to the unknown number of foreign tourists. Cochran formula was used to determine the statistical sample and with the help of available sampling, 384 European tourists were selected. Data analysis was performed using SPSS23 and AMOS software. The findings showed that perceived ease, perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment had a significant positive effect on life satisfaction, quality of life, happiness and mental health through flow.

Managing health care costs and financing the health sector is an important issue for all countries. In Iran, the main burden of financing the health sector is on households, and this is an unfair practice. One of the goals of health officials is to replace more equitable methods. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the decision of Iranian households to enter the health market. The theoretical framework includes the study of Grassman's view of human capital in the field of health expenditures at the micro level. Given the nature of the problem and its data in the category of quantitative research, the data and variables used in the research will be collected in the form of numbers and the results will be reported in the same way. Deprived and included 22,264 households in deprived and relatively deprived areas (including 47% of rural households and 53% of urban households) were estimated as examples. Increasing income, education, women's proportions, health development, and the number of members increase spending and insurance coverage and tobacco use also increase spending on health. Families with spouses who have never been married have the highest and lowest health expenditures, respectively. The study insists that households benefit from insurance support plans and measures to improve the socio-economic situation, especially for large families and rural residents.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of electronic tourism in the development of medical tourism in Mashhad. The research method was descriptive and survey type that data collection was done in the field. The statistical population of this study was all foreign tourists who returned to Mashhad as medical tourists. Due to the uncertainty in the size of society, 161 individuals were selected as the statistical sample using available sampling method through Cochran's uncertain volume formula. The data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by 11 experts in the field of tourism and reliability of the tool was obtained through Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α = 0.952). Descriptive and inferential statistics (Kolmogorov Smirnov, confirmatory factor analysis and T single sample) were used for data analysis. T-test results showed that all components of electronic tourism have a significant effect on the development of medical tourism. And the components of the location of treatment, medical training, medical tourism development, medical costs and tourists' economic status are the most effective factors. Therefore, the provision of good medical services, the use of experienced and qualified physicians, and the reduction of health care costs were one of the strategies for developing medical tourism.
