چکیده

شناخت و تحلیل زیست پذیری در زمره مفاهیم جدید حوزه برنامه ریزی روستایی دریچه های جدیدی را به ادراک شرایط زیست رضایتمندانه در فضای جغرافیایی گشوده است. بررسی زیست پذیری روستاهای پیرامون شهری از اهمیت و جایگاه ویژه ای در تحقیقات جغرافیایی برخوردار است. بطوریکه هم برنامه ریزان شهری و هم متولیان و محققان برنامه ریزی توسعه روستایی باید از طریق تشریک مساعی در شناخت و تبیین مسائل این روستاها، دریچه ای به سوی توسعه متوازن و پایدار منطقه ای بگشایند. هدف تحقیق حاضر، بررسی و تحلیل وضعیت زیست‌پذیری روستاهای پیراشهری شیراز است. روش پژوهش، توصیفی تحلیلی بوده و داده‌ها به دو روش اسنادی و میدانی جمع آوری شده است. محدوده مطالعاتی پژوهش حاضر 13 روستای پیراشهری واقع در بخش مرکزی شهرستان شیراز می باشد. از مجموع جمعیت روستایی ساکن در روستاها، تعداد 295 سرپرست خانوار به عنوان نمونه آماری انتخاب شده اند. با توجه به موقعیت جغرافیایی متنوع در ناحیه مورد مطالعه، موقعیت طبیعی روستاها هم در تحلیل ها مورد توجه قرار گرفت. نتایج بدست آمده نشان می دهد که وضعیت زیست پذیری در روستاهای پیراشهری مورد مطالعه با مقدار میانگین برابر 26/185 بالاتر از حد متوسط(برابر 177) قرار گرفته است. همچنین نتایج نشان داد که سطح زیست‌پذیری در شاخص های عمده متفاوت است. از دیگر نتایج پژوهش، وجود تفاوت معنادار در وضعیت زیست‌پذیری روستاها بر اساس موقعیت طبیعی آنها بود و مشخص گردید روستاهای دشتی در مقایسه با دیگر روستاها از وضعیت زیست‌پذیری مناسب تری برخوردارند. موقعیت طبیعی روستاها می تواند با توجه به شرایط متفاوت دسترسی به امکانات و تسهیلات خدماتی و شغلی در شهر، زیست پذیری متفاوتی در روستاها ایجاد نماید.

چکیده [English]

Investigating the livability of peri urban rural areas has special importance and place in geographical research. Both urban planners and rural development planning scholars and researchers should open the door to balance and sustainable regional development through efforts to identify and explain these rural issues. The purpose of this study is investigate and analyze the livability status of peri urban Shiraz villages. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the data were collected by both documentary and field methods. The study area of the study is 13 villages located in the central part of Shiraz. From total rural population living in villages, 295 heads of households were selected as statistical sample. Given the varied geographical location of the study area, the natural position of the villages was also taken into account. The results show that the livelihood status of the villages with the mean value is 185.266 above the average (177). The results also showed that the level of livability was different in major indices. Other results showed that there was a significant difference in the livelihood status of the villages based on their natural position and it found that plain villages had a better livability status compared to other villages.
Introduction
Because Awareness from the dangers such as rapid population growth, congestion, loss of agricultural land and open spaces, lack of adequate housing, increased social inequality and loss of sense of belonging, place identity and social life that threats quality of life of communities, the concept of livability has come and gone (Wheeler, 2001). therefore, it supported both locally and by planners to create more sustainable, functional, and enjoyable living spaces. livable neighborhoods have a greater sense of belonging to the community and place, and a lower rate of migration. Therefore, planners at all levels are increasingly interested in livability as a strategy of neighborhood revitalization, redevelopment, affordable housing, environmental protection, improved security and reduced crime rates (Larice, 2005: 91-92). The term livability was first coined in 1970 by the US National Bureau of the Arts to achieve urban planning ideas, and was later used by other research centers and organizations to address the problems of human societies and communities. The decline in the quality of life of the inhabitants of different places has very strong (Ibid, 93).
Shiraz, as one of the major metropolitan areas of the country, has a large urban area which, due to its increasing physical development, has affected the dimensions and living conditions of its surrounding villages. Among these areas are villages located in the central district of Shiraz which, along with the relatively short distance, more influenced by Shiraz due to administrative processes and relations. Since these villages are environmentally vulnerable and economically and socially sensitive in comparison with other villages, it is necessary to study and analyze their livability status. Therefore, the present study seeks to answer the following questions: a) Which level is the livelihood peri urban villages located in the central part of Shiraz county? C) What is the relationship between individual characteristics and perceptions of livability?
Methodology
The research method is descriptive-analytical and the data collected by both documentary and field methods. The study area of ​​the present study is the villages located in the central district of Shiraz which are six villages. the number of residential areas in this section is 138, of which 61.5% are residential and have 20 households and more. In this study, based on natural location, population size, spatial distribution and distance from Shiraz, 13 villages over 20 households were selected as sample villages. From the total rural population of the study area, 3858 households are located in sample villages and 295 household heads selected based on Cochran method. With regard to the intended purpose and access to the required data, by analyzing the content of the relevant studies, 59 indicators were selected in form of 11 major indicators.
Results and Discussion
Analysis of the livability status of the sample villages carried out based on a single sample T-test and the results indicate that livability level in six major indices including: Health, pollution, transportation, housing, infrastructure services, placement and participation, social security and prospects are above average. In other indices, the results indicate that the average value is higher than the average, statistically significant. Also in the three major indices of leisure, employment and education, the observed average is lower than the average, but the result is only statistically significant for the leisure index. Overall, considering the average value of total livability indices compared to the average value, it is observed that the total livability in the sample villages was above average which The p value obtained was statistically significant.
In assessing the role of rural natural position in local residents' perception of livability, the calculation of the average value of total livability indicates that this value is 1.99 in lowland rural area, In the forest it is calculated to be 1.67 and in villages with valley position equal to 1.58. one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) used to explain the presence or absence of livability of the sample villages in terms of natural location. Results with respect to the calculated significance level indicate that there is a significant difference in local residents' perception of total livability among the sample villages of the study in terms of natural location. Also, to determine which of the natural situations there is a difference between the three groups, post hoc test used to analyze this point. As the results, with respect to the level of significance obtained, there is a significant difference in livability between all three natural situations.
Also the results showed that there is a direct and significant statistical relationship between the three variables of gender, age and job. There was also a significant inverse relationship between education variables and livability index. In other words, as the level of education of the respondents increased, their perception of livability decreased. The present analysis of this variable is that as people's education increases, their expectations of the conditions and dimensions increase.
Conclusion
The results showed that overall livability in the studied rural areas was above average which in relation to the indicators of participation and location, social security, is in agreement with the results of Sajasi et al. (2019) and Khorasani (2012) and Majedi and Lalsaeizadeh (2003) and contrasts with the results of Esmaeilpour et al. (2018), Jomehpour and Tahmasebi Tehrani (2013). The results of this research in housing indicator are in line with the research (2009) entitled "Housing in Quality of Life and Satisfaction of Life in its Settlements on the outskirts of Tehran Metropolitan Area" which showed a direct relationship between the main reasons for migration to these settlements. In ​​employment, leisure and recreation, the findings of this study are in line with the results of Khorasani (2012), Choi et al. (2009). Regarding the facilities and services in the studied villages, Khorasani (2012) showed that there is no significant relationship between the level of service provision and the livability of the villages, which is in contradiction with the findings of this study.
