The purpose of the current research is to measure and evaluate the distribution of urban services in the 51 districts of Ardabil city. The research method is descriptive-analytical based on documentary sources and a questionnaire to collect public opinions. For this purpose, 385 questionnaires have been completed and collected from urban areas using a random classification method. To analyze the data the VIKOR model was used in which the following were considered: determination of the weight of 11 main research indicators using the opinions of 10 experts (through the snowball method) and the entropy method using. The findings of the research show that the central areas of the city are at a favorable level in terms of access to urban services, and the more the distance from the city center to the periphery, the lower the level of favorability. Also, the results of the cluster analysis showed that the urban areas located in the center of the city are on the first floor and the peripheral areas are on the last floor (i.e. the fifth floor). Also, comparing the results of objective data (distribution of services) and subjective data (citizens' questionnaire) showed that there is a significant statistical difference between them. In fact, considering the objective results, the subjective results are far from the facts and the people's emotional opinions mostly prevail. The result is that the urban services of Ardabil are not distributed based on spatial justice and the dominant pattern of distribution is cluster like and center-peripheral.

The present study tries to determine the effects of social and cultural capital on the environmental behavior of citizens in the city of Sari. The research was a cross-sectional survey in terms of applied type and research method. The statistical population of the research was all citizens over 18 years old, and the sample size was 400 people according to the Cochran formula, including the pre-test samples. The sampling method of the research was a multi-stage cluster. The tool for data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire for the variables of social and cultural capital, and the questionnaire of Kaiser et al. (1999) was used to measure the environmental behaviors. In this study, the theory of bio-environmental culture of Georges Thomé and Bourdieu's cultural capital were used as a theoretical framework. SPSS software and Pearson's correlation coefficient tests and regression analysis were used for data analysis. Face validity was used to measure validity and, in all variables, the reliability of the tool was higher than 0/7. The simultaneous investigation of the effects of social and cultural capital on environmental behavior is considered the innovation of this research. The findings showed that the average of environmental behavior patterns among people is relatively high and its average is 3/73 out of 5. The average cultural capital among people is relatively low and its average is 2/79. The average social capital is equal to 3/04. The results of the correlation test showed that there is a significant positive and direct relationship between the amount of social and cultural capital with environmental behavior. To improve the level of environmental behavior, the amount of social and cultural capital should be increased. According to the regression analysis, social and cultural capital variables explain and predict about 23/1% of environmental behavior changes. Social and cultural capital have an effect on environmental behaviors and the effect of social capital is much higher.

This research was applied based on a purpose and descriptive-analytical based on a nature which has been performed by using SPSS software and descriptive tests such as mean, Pearson and ANOVA. The results of research showed that the mean of social capital indicators were different in Karmandan and Islamabad neighborhoods, but in both neighborhoods the mean of neighborhood participation and leisure time indicators were lower than the average. Also, the quality of the physical environment indicators in the Karmandan neighborhood was at a high level, while the mean of housing facilities and leisure amenities were lower than the average mean. In Islamabad neighborhood, traffic safety, waste disposal and access to public services indicators were above average and also it was at a lower level in terms of these indicators relative to the neighborhood of Karmandan. Both neighborhoods have had the highest impact on housewives and retirees of occupational groups. There is a significant difference between the impact of employment and the quality of the physical environment in the Karmandan neighborhood. Whereas in Islamabad, there is no significant difference between women's employment and the quality of the physical environment. As a result, the employment of different groups of women has not affected the quality of its physical environment.
