INTRODUCTION: This research was conducted with the aim of providing a model of public education based on social participation for the resilience of Tehran's urban society in natural disasters especially earthquakes. METHODS: This qualitative research was done by Delphi method. About 15 experts and decision-makers in the field of natural disasters and crisis management were selected to participate in the research through a targeted process by using the snowball method. FINDINGS: The findings showed that the participation of the public including mental and objective participation and having a cooperative spirit can have an impact on public education. In addition, this education is effective on the resilience of the public with social, economic, cultural, and institutional components and can bring the consequences of sustainable development. CONCLUSION: According to the results, the resilience fields such as information and communication infrastructure, physical infrastructure and supportive policies can provide a platform for resilience in the society; however, interveners such as demographic characteristics and geographical characteristics should not be ignored

INTRODUCTION: Considering the significant contribution of public education to the reduction of damages incurred by disasters and crises in the country, the identification of all the components and dimensions of public education can be of great help to policymakers in this field in order to adopt a correct policy and decision. The current research aimed to investigate public education in natural disasters with the meta-synthesis method based on the seven-step model of Sandelowski and Barroso (2007). METHODS: The current qualitative research was conducted based on a meta-synthesis approach. The statistical population of the research included articles related to the research from 2000 until now. A number of 175 articles were retrieved, and after examining the title of the research, 105 articles were removed, and 70 papers were reviewed, out of which 36 papers were removed, and 34 articles entered the final stage for full analysis. Articles were searched in databases, such as Scopus, Emerald, Science Direct, Springer, Google Scholar, and Scientific Information Database (SID). FINDINGSThe selected sources were analyzed using Maxqda software, and the research findings were coded. In the open coding stage, 100 primary codes were extracted from 34 articles, and after extracting the primary codes, to categorize the concepts, axial coding was used, yielding 5 dimensions, 12 components, and their sub-components. CONCLUSIONAs evidenced by the obtained results, to reduce vulnerability, the responsible institutions can adopt appropriate measures that lead to learning and changes in the audience's behavior by using the presented model and considering the determined components and indicators in the process of public education. This model includes the stages of analysis, educational design, preparation and development, implementation, and evaluation.

Purpose: Considering the growing trend of education and training of entrepreneurs in the world and in our country, nurturing entrepreneurs and entering into business and creating their employment is one of the basic concerns and curiosities of the administrators in universities. Methodology: Therefore, the general purpose of the research, is the design of the model of education and training of entrepreneurs in Azad Islamic universities of Mazandaran province. The nature of the current research is exploratory and qualitative data is used in it. The statistical population of the research is experts and educational managers of Islamic Azad Universities. This group was selected to conduct the qualitative part of the research and participated in the interview process. In this field, the researcher used the snowball method to reach theoretical saturation, which reached theoretical saturation after in-depth interviews with 10 elites and experts. The data was collected using in-depth and semi-structured interviews and data analysis was done with the qualitative method of Foundation Data Theory. Findings: Based on the results, it was found that the factors affecting the education and training of entrepreneurs have three dimensions (contextual factors, causal factors and environmental factors) and consist of fifteen components. And it was shown that the consequences of education and training of entrepreneurs have 4 dimensions of improving entrepreneurial attitude, increasing well-being, continuous continuity and developing entrepreneurship with 14 components. And the strategies also have 2 dimensions, educational strategies and educational strategies. Its indicators are presented separately. Conclusion: The model of education and training of entrepreneurs to managers of Islamic Azad Universities can be used as a practical and comprehensive package in which many important details related to general concepts are seen, for all managers of Islamic Azad Universities and executive bodies in general. it is suggested.

This study was performed to identify factors affecting the entrepreneurial university. In order to achieve this goal, a sample of 173 faculty members (academic rank of associate professor or higher) in academic year of 2015-2016 was selected using the using relative stratified sampling and Cochran’s formula. In this study, given the purpose and nature of research, for analysis of the data, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used. The results of in-depth interviews and semi-structured and targeted interview with 14 qualified university professors led to the initial questionnaire developed by the researchers at 5-point Likert scale with 50 items; upon exploratory analysis, 9 items were excluded due to extraction value of commonality smaller than 0.5. Content validity of the questionnaire was approved by accredited academic experts. To assess the construct validity, convergent and divergent validity criteria were used. The results of factor loadings of each item showed that all items had factor loading of over 0.4 and average extracted variance of over 0.5, thus convergent validity of the variables was confirmed. In addition, the values ​​of the square root of the average variance extracted (AVE) was highest, indicating the validity of divergent validity of the variables. Composite reliability and validity of the questionnaire for all variables showed high levels of 0.7. Results showed that the size and components affecting establishment of entrepreneurial university included internal factors (capabilities, management and leadership, structure, prospects, financial resources and research, cultural and education policies) and external factors (interaction with environment and internationalization of the university). Finally, test of the model using t-test showed that the size and the identified factors had a positive and significant impact on the entrepreneurial university.
