Assessment of Satisfaction from Quality of Life in Small Towns with Fuzzy Approach
Introduction:
The process of industrialization
and rapid growth during the last half century cause a sharp difference between
urban and rural quality of life in less developed countries, including Iran, to
resolve problems and respond to the needs of the negative effects of living in
rural and urban settlements has pursued several policies that are most
important to the creation and development of small towns. Method: Experts pay attention
quality of life as livability, welfare, social welfare, happiness,
satisfaction. Proponents of the theory of the development of small towns
provided that if needs achieved in small towns migration routes have changed
and in smaller towns instead of big cities will be the final destination of
rural migrants. Results: The result of the research is the
economic and social dimensions respectively are in average satisfaction index
of 504/0 and 484/0 expressing satisfaction level is relatively undesirable.
Pooled results showed that satisfaction with the quality of life in the
settlements studied in the time before the city is located in a relatively
unfavorable, coefficient of 489/0, 480/0 were obtained in cities of Banak and Bordekhun relatively. But in time
after city the satisfaction level enhanced to the appropriate and the
coefficients of the Banak and Bordekhun 698/0 and 704/0 was obtained
respectively. Discussion:
In most developing countries, due
to the decentralized policies in settlement system for make balance in the
land, adopted different strategies in the population distribution and
urbanization such as inhibiting the abnormal growth of large cities, reducing
regional disparities and urban- Rural dichotomy, create new jobs, improve
quality of life in urban and rural areas, reducing the rural exodus to the
cities.

Introduction:
Economic development and improvement in life quality is the main objective of
all societies in all levels. To this end, it is necessary to have a better understanding
of factors affecting individual life quality. Quality of Life Index (QLI) is a
suitable tool that reflects socio-economic condition of a society. Thus, QLI
can be employed as a major tool in local and national development plans. Human
capital, however, has a vital role in life quality through which development is
affected. Method: In
this paper, the relationship between human capital (represented by the
graduated people in bachelors, master and PhD) and QLI in all Iranian provinces
is studied. To this end, using time series data of all provinces during the
period of 2003-2009, and employing fixed effect in panel data model, the effect
of human capital on QLI of all provinces is examined. Findings: The results show that human capital, adult
literacy rate and urban population rate have positive and significant effect on
QLI of Iranian provinces. However, population has a negative and significant
effect on QLI of provinces. Conclusion: The results show that human capital has a significant effect on
economic growth and, therefore, on life quality of people. However, the number
of postgraduates (master and PhD) has had more effects on life quality compared
with graduates (bachelors). Thus, government is suggested to increase
investments on higher education if it is to improve life quality of individuals
in Iranian provinces.

Introduction: Measures and mechanisms
applied in economic corruption in our country indicates that penal populism is
an undeniable threat in fighting against this phenomenon. The
sensitivity of economic system position and impact of economic corruption on
social and political areas along unpleasant consequences of penal populism, is
making study of this approach in economic corruption necessary. Method: Method of this research is descriptive
analytical study and in data collection laws and regulation and also
discoursing of legislative and judicial policymakers has been analyzed. So that the
influence of populism on penal policy of Iran about economic corruption will be
explained. findings: Following populist penal policy against
economic corruption causes Security-Oriented surpassing economic consideration
and in substantive penal policy, criminalization and determining punishment are
not compatible with Basic principles such as the principle of legality of
crimes and punishments. Formation or anticipating new organizations and
structures to combat economic corruption after the criminal events without
detailed explanation of the functions in many cases is a hasty reaction to economic corruption and it will not even
work. Despite the concern about quick combat against economic corruption ,lack
of predicting specialized Forums and in
contrast predicting strategies for quick and out of turn hearing along the policy of disclosing identity
of the offenders are instances for populism in com…bating against economic
corruption in penal policy of Iran.
Certainly the principles of fair trial in such circumstances would not be
immune from the threat. Discussion: Although the close
association between the prevalence of economic corruption and declining
popularity is undeniable, it doesn’t mean that popular and quick impact
measures are efficient in controlling economic corruption. Considering citizens as ultimate victim in economic
corruption, providing estimates of the criminal justice system to the public,
will reduce their willingness to temporary strict responses.The
use of expert opinions on policy making and prioritize prevention and
scientific methods in combating economic corruption while involves coordination
and efforts of legislative, judicial and executive policy makers, is a
significant obstacle in the way of penal populism.
