Given that identity and wisdom are considered fundamental criteria for sustainability and vitality, incorporating these two elements into the physical structure of a neighbourhood is essential for creating a stable and thriving community. The aim of this research is to examine the role of identity components and wisdom indicators in the architecture of historical neighbourhoods in fostering community vitality. The research method employed in this article is descriptive-analytical, relying on library studies and field observations. Spiritual principles and cultural beliefs form the backbone of a valuable and dynamic architecture. On the other hand, every constructed space serves as an expression of the type of cognition and design assumptions. Cultural foundations provide the basis for shaping space, and the constructive spirituality and characteristics of the built environment depict the essential elements shaping spiritual concepts in the material form of architectural spaces. In architectural wisdom, symbolism plays a more active role in terms of functionality, and the symbolic execution has a greater impact on the efficiency of architectural structures. What this article discusses and investigates are components such as decorations, proportions, unity, appropriate functions in desirable urban land uses, city colour, and geometry in shaping spaces. The unity among the wisdom indicators in the Hasanabad neighbourhood has resulted in residents still experiencing a sense of vitality, emotional connection, and tranquillity in their lives many years after the formation of this neighbourhood.

This study aims to identify and rank the competitive advantages of hospital hotels in Islamic countries, with a focus on an Iranian case study. Given the unique needs and cultural context of Islamic nations, the research investigates the key factors that contribute to the success of hospital hotels, including elements such as treatment measures, family hospitality, halal nutrition, and worship arrangements. The primary methodology used is the DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method, which is a pairwise comparison-based decision-making tool that effectively identifies relationships and hierarchies among system elements. Expert judgment from hospital hotel managers, employees, and Ministry of Health officials was employed to construct a Direct Influence Matrix, which was then normalized to assess both direct and indirect influences among the identified criteria. The results reveal that "Treatment Measures" and "Family Hospitality" are the most influential factors, acting as key drivers in enhancing overall service quality. Conversely, "Halal Financing" and "Worship Arrangements" were found to be the most dependent factors, influenced by the other elements in the system. Additionally, criteria such as "Patient Relationships" and "Halal Nutrition" exhibited high levels of prominence, indicating their central role in the competitive advantage of hospital hotels. The study concludes that focusing on improving core criteria like treatment measures and family hospitality will enhance the competitive position of hospital hotels in Islamic countries. These findings provide actionable insights for hospital hotel management and policymakers seeking to enhance service quality and cultural alignment in healthcare settings.

For this purpose, 4 areas of Tehran municipality were selected as study sites and 2 parks and 2 recreation areas were selected from each. Three devices were evaluated. REBA technique was used for posture assessment and William Fine method was used for risk assessment.Three devices were evaluated. The REBA technique was used to assess posture and the William fine method was used to assess risk. The PMBOK, 2000 model was also used to provide risk reduction solutions. The results of the posture evaluation show that working with the Rotary ship rudder has a very high risk (the risk number is higher than 13). After that, the device "leg and underarm Press" has a high risk level (risk number 9). Finally, the "elliptical" device has an average risk level (risk number 6). rank and risk level of the sports equipment studied were evaluated based on 2 separate methods. results indicate that in both evaluation methods, the lowest level of risk assessed belonged to the elliptical device. But the results of the methods used differ between the highest risk levels assessed for the sports devices studied. So in the posture assessment method (REBA),ship's Rudder had the highest degree of risk, while according to the William fine assessment method, the leg and underarm Press showed the highest level of risk.

The development of tourism in today's world can have various impacts, including economic, social and cultural impacts on the local community. Therefore, understanding residents' attitudes towards tourists is a key element in managing sustainable tourism. This study was conducted to find views, emotions and behaviors of Sanandaj residents towards tourists and how these views influence their behaviors. For this purpose, questionnaires containing scales on stereotypes, emotions and behaviors of residents towards tourists based on Tse and Tung's conceptual model were distributed among 400 residents of Sanandaj in November 2024 using convenience sampling. This research is applied and follows a quantitative approach, with data collected in a survey format. For analyzing the data, T-test, Regression, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis Tests were used. The results indicate that while residents hold positive feelings and attitudes towards tourists, such as being "friendly" and "sincere", there are also negative concerns, such as being "immoral" and "rude", which may stem from increased traffic and disruptions in daily life. Furthermore, regression analysis shows that the components of "immoral" and "uncivilized" have a significant effect on reluctance to assist tourists. Individuals with higher education and men tend to be more inclined towards positive interactions with tourists. The research findings can assist in managing host-tourist relationships and designing spaces for better interaction between them.
