Abstract

Introduction: The concept of resilience has been taken into consideration in many scientific circles in the following years following the occurrence of disasters. Resilience is a multi-faceted concept that tries to avoid damage caused by disaster. In the meantime, special policies have been focused on the physical dimension, and several attempts have been made to reduce the risks caused by hazards by strengthening the tissue. This is if the uncertainty of the type and severity of risks, the occurrence of human-origin crises, as well as the consideration of communities in facing disruptions and recovery conditions, has pushed the focus of attention to the social dimension of resilience. Meanwhile, a lot of research considers socio-demographic characteristics such as ethnicity, gender, age, and education as a factor in reducing social resilience due to some concepts. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of socio-demographic characteristics on social resilience.
Methodology: In order to achieve the goals of the research, the neighborhood of Naser Khosro, which is part of the marginal neighborhoods of Isfahan City and is close to the framework and objectives of the research due to its demographic and social characteristics, has been selected and investigated as a study sample of the research. The descriptive-analytical research method was used to obtain additional data from the questionnaire. The statistical population of the research was estimated to be 375 people using Cochran's formula and with an error rate of 5%, and linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results indicate that there is no significant relationship between gender and social resilience, and the variables of age and education have a negligible effect on social resilience. In other words, age and education explain 7 and 8% of the variance of social resilience, respectively. Also, examining the relationship between each ethnic group and social resilience also shows no relationship or very little relationship with social resilience.
Conclusion: In general, the results of this research, in addition to showing the lack of significant relationships or the very low impact of demographic-social characteristics on social resilience, indicate the capacity and potential of children and elderly people, women, people with low education and different ethnicities, as well as a positive role and impact. It is that each of the mentioned strata and groups can leave a mark on the resilience of communities as well as facing and dealing with threats and improving and recovering the conditions. It is also important to mention that the purpose of this research is not to negate the effect of characteristics and some demographic-social limitations on the level of social resilience, but rather to fill the role and capacities of each of the different strata and groups and to apply them in confrontation and confrontation. It is with accidents and threats.

Abstract

Introduction: As the third generation of tourism, creative tourism engages tourists with the cultural
attractions of the destination and provides the opportunity to learn and connect with the host
community. The development of creative tourism in the Zayandehrood axis is really necessary in a
situation where the majority of tourists in Isfahan are cultural tourists and where successive droughts
have caused damage to this natural attraction. The purpose of this research is to explain creative
tourism indicators from the perspective of the citizens of Isfahan. 
Methodology: The method is descriptive-analytic and survey-based. In this study, the indicators of
creative tourism based on the data obtained from 384 citizens of Isfahan were examined and tested. In
order to analyze the findings, confirmatory factor analysis was used in Amos software.
Results: The results of this analysis show that physical factors are the first, social in the second,
economic in the third, management in the fourth, cultural in the fifth, and ecological is the sixth
priority of creative tourism on the Zayandehrood Axis; and if creative uses are created in accordance
with the architectural style of historic bridges, the Zayandehrood axis will attract citizens and tourists
even in dry times.
Conclusion: Among the cultural indicators of local festivals, stories and considering spaces to display
the native arts of Isfahan, such as music, handicrafts, food, etc., are in priority. Among social
indicators, sociability and memorable mental images are in priority. In this regard, educational and
recreational spaces for different age groups can be considered according to the potentials of different
Zayandehrood axis sequences. In the economic indicators of creative tourism, technology is a greater
factor in providing services and branding slogans; and creative tourism designers should identify the
brand message according to the potentials of the Zayandehrood axis and Isfahan and create a
marketing campaign. In physical indicators, consideration of infrastructure, safety, and creative design
are in priority. Therefore, upgrading the tourism infrastructure of the Zayandehrood axis along with
designing creative places and spaces to stimulate the creativity of citizens and tourists should be
considered. Among the environmental indicators, new technologies to reduce environmental pollution,
conservation of green spaces, energy saving, water flow in the Zayanderood, and considering creative
benefits as incentives for eco-friendly citizens can be a priority. Apart from that, from the management
indicators, non-governmental organizations will have a significant impact on the creative tourism of
the Zayandehrood axis. Cultural, social, economic, physical, and managerial factors have a factor load
of more than 0.9 and ecological factor has a factor load of 0.871; therefore, all factors have a great
impact on creative tourism of the Zayandehrood axis planning and will provide active participation
based on original and unique experiences.
