Abstract
most cities in the world, especially multiplicity faces big problems with traffic and several vehicles. City managers suggest two solutions for these problems. The first is to make supply increased and other one is to demand management. We know increasing supply need expensive and sometimes impossible. It's clear that demand management is the best. In each city there are different kinds of demands for trip such as trips to work, education trips, shopping trips and social trips. In this paper we estimate demand to trips based on trips to work that are home based from out of city to multiplicity. The main reason for trips is different levels of well-being indices that are more in the multiplicity. Well-being in multiplicities is rather better than in life place. In this paper we measured well-being indices based on 2006 year book Tehran that used in estimating job place, education place and etc. based on house hold census 2006. The result show that work trips demand increase by increasing literacy index and residential units and decrease by increasing number of private vehicle the regression result. 0.83 percent of work trips demand explained with variable explanatory. The results show a number of school , distance, sport place and … don't have significant effect on work trips demand.

Abstract
Passive limit cycle walking is a special type of walking happening on a flat and slight downhill surface, without any energy injection and control, and in a cyclic manner. Compensation of energy lost through every heel strike by gravity effect, creates the cyclic behavior for the walking. The main advantage of this type of walking is getting higher efficiency, leading researchers to extend their studies in order to make passive dynamic based walkers. These bipeds can walk on level ground surface by little energy injection, instead of the gravity effect. This fact describes the standpoint of this article. In this research, with impulsive push-off actuation in hand and developing the related models, the walking of an actuated planar parametric model on level ground surface is simulated. Also the stability (with respect to the area of basin of attraction) and gait length has been analyzed by changing design parameters such as actuator’s location and foot shape. The results of this investigation indicates increase in relative stability and gait length for larger foot’s radius and of symmetrical shape.

Abstract
Introduction
Tourism is one of the forces shaping today’s world. According to statistics, the largest global employment segment has been for tourism (10% of GDP). One out of every 11 jobs is a tourism related business and 29% of the services are related to this activity. In addition, according to the World Tourism Organization, the number of tourists will reach 1.8 billion by 2030. Indeed, due to its umbrella feature and socio-cultural empathy, tourism is an important tool in development of infrastructure, creating revenue for the host society and governments, and balancing regional development strategies. So development of this activity in Iran will provide good conditions for the development of it as a destination for international tourists. This is due to the existence of tourist attractions and, on the other hand, the satisfaction of them at a higher level than expected. Therefore, it can be said that providing optimal services for tourists is one of the main bases in Attraction and satisfaction of tourists. For this purpose, the present study is conducted with the aim of analyzing and spatially leveling the tourism routes of Tehran province according to the tourism services and facilities. This study is trying to answer the question whether the spatial distribution of tourism services in the tourism areas of Tehran province is proportional to the pattern of distribution of tourist attractions of each rote, which is the interface between the tourist and the attractions? And In the case of absence of balance, problematic routes are identified and sought to eliminate or reduce them.
Research Methodology
Based on the purpose of the research, this research is appliedand according to the method and nature, is descriptive-analytic. According to the research objectives, the effective measures in tourism services are initially adapted from Farjisabokbar et al. (2014). then, according to the criteria, spatial data of the region level has been collected. Using the Fuller Hierarchy Model, the relevant criteria are weighed and then, using the ORESTE model, the corresponding rote are ranked and finally, the map of the leveling of tourism route in the province has been drawn up. It is worth to mention, all the daily public tourist routes of the province (as defined by the Cultural Heritage Organization) in accordance with the main route of the province has been Matched and selected. Therefore, this research does not have a statistical sample and its statistical society is according to the daily routes of the province's tourism, all of the main routes of the province of Tehran lead to tourist attractions.
Discussion
The purpose of this study is to measure the daily tourism of Tehran province, which is the relationship between tourists and attractions based on services and facilities. Therefore, in the first stage, criteria and research indicators are obtained, which is the most important part of the research process. It should be noted that the number of services and facilities located near each tourist route are considered. For this reason, for each route, one kilometer radius of Buffer is considered and because of better access and the need of tourists to this type of service, the number of services in this area has been identified. Also for the number of towns and villages as well as tourist attractions, Bufferis considered at a radius of 5 km;because cities and villages have the least amount of services in practice. After data collection, a matrix is formed that specifies the values of each of the indicators.
The research results indicate that the tourist routes of the east and south-east of the province such as (Tehran-Khosrowabad, Pardis-Sarbandan-Firouzkooh-Saraza), (Tehran-Khosrowabad, Pardis-Sarbandan-Firouzkooh-Shahr Abad), (Tehran-Khosrowabad, Pardis-Mehrabad) are the origins of tourists entering and to the green areas of Damavand and Firoozkooh and from there to Tehran has the minimum required services for tourists. In addition, rote such as "Tehran-Rey-Varamin-Javadieh", which leads to the National Park of the Kavir considering the potential of these attractions in attracting tourists, has a minimum of facilities.
Conclusion
Tehran province has tourism attractions as well as infrastructure such as airport and strong transportation network, which has radially connected the whole country to the capital, ultimately, has somehow added to the importance of tourism in the city of Tehran. So that the vast majority of visitors and tourists on the international level are forced to visit and stay in Tehran. So, the routes providing access to these tourist attractions should have a minimum of quality services in their area. However, results indicate that most of the provinces have been deprived of this route. Routes of the northeast, east, and south east have longer distances which leads to boredom and fatigue of tourists. Hence, more attention should be paid to these routes to ensure the satisfaction of tourists. Therefore, after identifying this issue, a better management of tourists will be provided. by providing the right service, we must meet the most needs of this cortex and as well asthe routes with limitations in terms of services,and try to solve their problems.

Abstract
Fisheries tourism is one of the types of tourism that has not received much attention in Iran, despite its good status. The benefits of the tourism industry with the high potential of the fisheries and fishing industry can provide an ideal option to connect the two industries in order to leave the difficult conditions of the fishery areas and move toward development. The first step in planning for fisheries tourism development is to accurately identify the potentials and fisheries' attractions to absorb tourists. Thus, the present study aimed to identify the tourists’ attractions of fisheries using a qualitative methodology with an exploratory approach. This research was applied in terms of purpose, and is descriptive and survey in terms of nature and method. The statistical population of this study was relevant subject experts. Using the purposeful snowball sampling method, 23 experts were selected to determine the panel of the experts based on their subject expertise, experiences, and the theoretical adequacy principle. In three rounds, the attractiveness and attractive fisheries activities for tourism were identified using the Delphi technique. In the first round of Delphi, 30 attractions and attractive activities for fisheries tourism were introduced by experts. After the removal of the less important items in the second and third round of Delphi, finally, the consensus was reached about 12 attractions of fisheries tourism, in three categories of fishing and fishery, fisheries industries, and coastal aquaculture.

Undoubtedly, this played a key role for women joining ISIS ranks. The terror group used the latest and most advanced media technologies, and had an exceptional and organized media for its propaganda in different languages in written, audio and visual formats. The purpose of this research is to clarify the role of these tools and their ways to influence people, especially women. After reviewing previous researches, it was found that there are few studies in this field i.e. the ISIS methods in recruiting women.
The current research is based on the purposefulness and the method applied is analytical and semiotic. The data collection was based the information the ISIS had provide itself in the virtual space. The statistical population included interviews of people lived under ISIS and media experts. It also included ISIS information that was spread in the form of videos, photos, on social media. The results showed that the dark face of ISIS in relation to women is based on the brazen sexual exploitation and how they are turned into goods as they bought and sold on the one hand, and became companions of terrorists in their beds under the so-called “Jihad al-Nikah”.
