The purpose of this study is to; Study the Economic Role of Mirjaveh Border Corridors on Sustainable Urban Development Dimensions.This research is descriptive-analytic in terms of method and nature, and in terms of purpose it is an applied research.SPSS software was used to analyze the data.The statistical population of the present study is the households living in Mirjaveh city, and the sample size was determined using Cochran's formula 324 people.Investigating the four dimensions of sustainable urban development(economic, social, physical and environmental)separately in relation to the economic role of Mirjaveh border corridor is one of the innovations of this research. The results of chi square test showed that there is a significant and positive relationship between the economic and social development of Mirjaveh city and the economic role of the border corridor.The results of the multiple regression test showed that the economy of the border corridor significantly predicts physical development.The results of the one-sample T-test indicate the low economic role of the border corridor in the environmental development of Mirjaveh city.Finally, in order to investigate the significant difference between the economic role of the border corridor in terms of development, the statistical process of analysis of variance was used with the help of the general linear model, The results showed that the economic role of border corridors in the social and environmental dimension has a significant difference.The general conclusion of the research shows the impact of the economic role of Mirjaveh border corridor on the dimensions of development(economic, social and physical).

The aim of this stuy was to investigate the situation of Rasht metropolis in terms of urban cycling and prioritization of optimal routes for designing cycling routes. The type of research was descriptive-analytical through survey method. The statistical population of the study included the citizens present in the cycling route of Gil Square in Rasht. Using Cochran's equation, 384 people were determined as the sample size. The research instrument was a researcher made questionnaire and its reliability was confirmed by using Cronbach's alpha test with a coefficient of 0.74. SWOT analytical model and QSPM matrix, hierarchical analysis (AHP) were also used to analyze the data. The innovation of the present study is in using the opinions of citizens and proposing optimal cycling routes on the same basis, with respect to rankings. According to the research findings, 52.33% of the research sample preferred to use bicycles and 36.33% preferred buses for city trips. An examination of the status of the current cycling route showed that citizens do not choose the current two-kilometer route, despite their high desire for cycling. More than 60% of the respondents have expressed their desire to use the bike path from Gil Square to Mosalla Square at low and very low levels. SWOT matrix analysis showed that the best strategies for upgrading the urban cycling system in Rasht are offensive strategies, especially the design of new cycling routes. In this regard, using the AHP model, the optimal range for this strategy was suggested.
