“…Citizens' financial capability, as an economic element to manage crises such as floods, can increase their adaptability capacity against damages [129,130]. Generally, "citizens' financial capability" is closely related to the presence of dynamic economic resources and "active economy" in the area [120,131,132].…”

In recent years, the effects of climate change have become more noticeable in Iran, especially in big cities. In particular, climate-related flood risk is increasingly recognized as a potential threat in the capital city of Tehran. Accordingly, the present study aimed to provide a framework/assessment tool to measure Tehran’s resilience to flood risks. To this end, 21 professionals from different disciplines were selected through a purposive sampling procedure and were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. The analysis procedure resulted in the identification of 3 themes, 15 categories, 40 subcategories, and 235 codes. The themes were social, economic, and organizational; The identified categories were culture and education (since culture is something to be learned through formal and informal education this component has two features: culture and education), participation, trust, attitude, solidarity, resources, empowerment, flexibility, credit, supervision, intercommunication, rules, specialization, and research. Validation of the indicators and their usability based on the opinions of local experts was used to calibrate the assessment tool and ensure its context-sensitivity. The results of this research can help planners and policymakers to increase their awareness of flood resilience. The approach taken in this research may also be useful for developing flood resilience assessment tools in other Iranian cities as well as in other cities of the Global South with similar conditions.

“…In general, good natural-climatic conditions due to the geographical environment and the preserved prosperous ecology make the republic a promising target for modernization changes. Therefore, the socio-cultural development of the region depends entirely on infrastructural changes, which in the future, as experience shows [15,16,17], can significantly change the situation even in depressed areas.…”

The article presents the results of a sociological study of the attitude of the Karachay-Cherkessia Republic population to the essential components of the ecological situation. The significance of the ecological factor of the region as the basis for socio-cultural development and modernization of the territory of the republic is determined. A literature review shows the importance of such studies in regions with an extreme environmental situation and in regions traditionally considered to be prosperous and even resort areas. For such territories, the nature and absence of air and water pollution are a possible growth point, an attractive factor for forming tourist complexes. The development of tourism infrastructure and a competent media campaign will attract investors’ funds and create prerequisites for increasing tourist flows. Analysis of the survey results showed that the republic’s population as a whole positively evaluates the environmental situation, which is an additional condition for the success of the modernization process in the region.

“…The undoubted advantage of the territories: regions and municipalities can be considered a high proportion of young people in the structure of the population. Young people show high professional, industrial, entrepreneurial and consumer activity [1][2], are able to generate changes [3], having a positive impact on the sustainable socio-economic development of the territory [4]. As shown by numerous studies, young people are as open as possible to various kinds of innovations, including technical, technological and economic [5][6], committed to the principles of sustainable development through the economic and environmental well-being of territories and business entities [7][8].…”

The article presents the results of a study of the strategy and prospects of territorial mobility of young people who have received higher education in the field of ecology at a regional university. A review of scientific literature and a statistical analysis of the opinions and judgments of environmental students of the last year of study at the bachelor’s program at the Agricultural University confirm the relevance of the research topic. They allow you to look at the prospects for the territorial mobility of environmental graduates, both from the point of view of their own targets, and from the point of view of their importance for the south of Russia and the capital regions of Russia. The study found that the vector of territorial mobility of environmental graduates is aimed at the capital regions of Russia and abroad. The expectations of young people are associated with higher job prospects on better conditions (high-paying and interesting work with real career opportunities) outside the Stavropol Territory and southern Russia.
