Abstract
In the sustainable tourism development approach, not only market needs are considered, but also the needs of society and the natural environment are emphasized. In this regard, GIS can be used for many tourist, planning and modeling activities. The present study aimed to provide a model for access to tourist attractions for the sustainability in tourist hubs of Isfahan province. Regarding the studied components, this research is an applied one in terms of type and a descriptive-survey in terms of method. This research was conducted based on the closest access considering the speed of access (road quality) in terms of minutes, and in order to provide a model for the stability of areas with the highest attraction and concentration of tourist in a zone rather than a point. The cities of Isfahan and Kashan (historical-cultural) and the cities of Semirom and Fereydoon Shahr (natural tourism) have the highest tourist capacity in the province, respectively. The results of the study show that according to the "Closest Access" model, five classes have been taken into consideration for the sustainability of the four tourist hubs in the province. The first class covers the potential rural and urban locations to a 60 minute radius (according to experts, the 60 minute distance is the distance that the tourists tend to travel by car on the way to the desired attraction) from the natural tourist hubs, the West (Fereydoon Shahr), the Southwest (Semirom) and the historical-cultural tourist hubs of Isfahan and Kashan which should be addressed by the authorities and tourism planners of the province to instruct tourists.

Many developing countries are over-concentrated in a few urban areas. Such a situation leads to many problems. In this countries, the quality of people's is experiencing huge regional inequalities which are increasing rapidly in many cases. Environmental problems are one of the most fundamental issues in modern cities and are the result of conflict and confrontation with the natural environment. The result of this process will be the imbalance and incompatibility between man and nature and the collapse of the ecosystem relationship. The purpose of this research is to identify the variables of sustainable environmental development and assessment of sustainability in the cities of Khuzestan province. This is an applied and descriptive- analytical method research. The results of the research show that the cities of Izeh, Dezful, Andimeshk,Lali and MasjedSoleiman are at a higher level than other cities in terms of environmental development in khuzestan province. Also, the results of statistical tests indicate the superiority of the North of province to its south in terms of environmental development. However, there is no sensible difference between the east and west of the province despite the relative superiority of the east of the province to the west. The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient show that there is no meaningfulcorrelation between environmental development and population size of the cities and their Urbanization rate. This means that, there is no meaningful relationship between population size and urbanization rate with environmental development.

In recent years, rapid development of urbanism and dramatic increase in urban population have resulted in numerous problems like devastating urban environment, lack of appropriate access to public urban services, incompatibility of urban land uses, lack of social justice, etc. Thus, the necessity of urban planning and management were introduced. So that, new patterns of planning, different social, economic, ecologic and management aspects are reviewed and sustainable development strategies for decreasing problems are proposed. The present article seeks to investigate the importance and role of development in decreasing urban problems, appropriate application of social justice resources and consequently improving the quality of urban life. The study is applied in nature, documentary investigation and standard ranking methods are used.
Finally, it is concluded that applying sustainable development prevents environmental devastation, social injustice, destroying and changing land uses, incompatibility with other land uses. This will in turn provide the necessary context for appropriate urban development and citizen comfort. Planning based on the urban environment is the first step for the implementation of this goal.
