Rural areas account for a large part of the population and natural and biological areas of the country and play a major role in the economic and social life of the country. In this regard, the rural environment needs a special attention in the process of planning sustainable rural development and improving the quality of the environment. Environment is one of the sensitive and vulnerable dimensions of villages that are less affected by pollutants than cities. However, the expansion of urban consumption patterns and the influx of some urban pollutants into rural areas and the change in the pattern of consumption in villagers have led to environmental and healthy life degradation in rural areas.
In this article, the aim is to provide strategies for improving the rural environment which has been studied through descriptive-analytical method of the subject. Also, considering the role of public participation in protecting the rural environment and achieving sustainable rural development, issues including rural waste management methods, rural green space management and rural wastewater disposal methods have been addressed as effective factors in protecting the rural environment and creating healthy life. Noting that many villages in the country have not properly implemented appropriate methods of environmental protection such as waste disposal, sewage disposal and green space management, and their poor performance in attracting public participation, the sustainable development of villages has not come to fruition. The results of this paper show that if the correct way of protecting the environment is applied in the villages, many diseases common in villages will be eradicated and the villages will become closer to sustainable development.

The main feature of crises is their worldwide and uncontrollable character. An important part of accidents and transportation crises are irreparable and unnatural. Nowadays, road accidents have found an unnatural as well as their natural aspect due to the high human control over the environment and the deterrence of nature’s violence on the one hand, and the expansion of the technological and man-made environment on the other. Iran is on the path to both natural and unnatural disasters. Firstly, due to its geographic-climatic position, it is one of the first disaster-prone countries in the world. Secondly, it is also in close contact with other countries of the world geographically, politically, economically and culturally. Iran is not separated from the international community, and any natural and unnatural event in the world and the region will directly or indirectly affect it. Therefore, in this article, road crises are classified with different approaches to fulfil their comprehensive recognition and to devise different courses of action to counteract it.

Natural disasters and accidents are a global problem and, in particular, one of the major issues affecting countries especially Iran, which has been raised in international affairs and humanitarian associations as a global problem and common pain among people, and have been considered in in countries’ major policy making as an important social, economic, security and political issue. Whatever the country can act more efficiently and powerfully in controlling destructive phenomena effective in economic and social disruptions, and in minimizing the damage caused by their occurrence, it will have helped the economic, welfare and security strength of the country. Therefore, in this regard, and with the hope that a small step will be taken in the definition of sand storm management, this article aims to define and describe a series of terms related to sand storms and relevant issues, and by doing so, it will help coordination, completion and coherence of actions.

Most of the buildings in the historical texture of Yazd have not been adequately resistant to earthquakes, and the rules, regulations and criteria have not been observed in their design. Most of these buildings are old and some of them are newly-built. The occurrence of earthquake entails serious and irreparable damages to buildings, facilities, equipment, natural resources, social order, historical and cultural heritage, activities, employment and income, organizations and executive agencies, transportation system and business, therapeutic, health, educational, religious, etc. functions, and will lead to crisis. The crisis management process requires implementation of measures before, at the beginning, during and after the crisis.
