The article focuses on issues of economic growth, and eco-efficiency in Russian industrial regions on the example of the Urals Federal District. The study is based on the concept of existing tensions between economic development, and eco-efficiency. The author claims that within this concept an optimum could be found. The purpose of the study is to determine the most optimal industrial growth rate within the Urals Federal District. Industrial production representing 50% of the sectoral gross value added structure is the key factor of economic growth in the researched regions. This basic hypothesis of the study is confirmed by a relatively strong correlation between industrial growth rate and Gross Regional Product growth rate in Sverdlovsk region, Tyumen region, and Chelyabinsk region. As part of the study the author made use of correlation analysis, which confirmed the basic hypothesis of the research, and paired regression analysis, where industrial production growth rate is used as a regressor to build paired regression models. Economic growth is estimated via Gross Regional Product growth rate. For every sector, where the basic hypothesis is confirmed, there is a graphical model illustrating dependence of economic growth (E1), and eco-efficiency (E2) on industrial growth rate. The study discovers optimal industrial growth rate providing development of eco-efficiency in the researched regions. The results of the study can be applied both by scientists or government structures in strategies of regional development taking into account eco-efficiency.

“…The theoretical studies of this research provided a framework to guide field studies in the form of a case study strategy. The field studies are knowledge-based as earlier has been presented by Shahraki for the sake of regional/urban sustainable development (Shahraki, 2019). This research supposes that when the flood management model is knowledge-based and optimal, it will not be hazardous.…”

This paper discusses devastating urban floods in the year 2019 that caused human and socioeconomic losses in many countries, including Iran. The main question addressed by this paper is the choice between two flood management models, namely, the optimal and nature-based flood management or the existing hazardous situation that damage the ecosystem and natural resources. The analysis of this paper will find the main responsible factors in the mentioned floods in Iran. For this reason, it examines the impacts of the existing flood management that neglects the ecosystems, environmental components, and nature. The method of this research includes theoretical studies, case studies with the help of structured interviews, and observations. A benchmarking technique compares the two alternatives. The comparisons use seven indicators abstracted from successful global experiences and local knowledge. Finally, this research presents a model for optimal flood management that is applicable everywhere in the world.

“…only a certain number of centers will be located or any customer will travel to the nearest service center. As Shahraki recommended well, the knowledge-based planning and design shall be at the heart of the developments (Shahraki, 2019). It has been experienced that poor planning and design is equal to the spread of slum, the inefficiency of the destination, and the degradation of the environment and natural resources.…”

“…An experienced and accepted theoretical principle is that urban development should be proportionate to the potential of the local natural resources; especially the volume of extracting water from various sources in the city should be given special attention (Shahraki, 2019). In other words, one should answer this question: how many people in the city can live up to the capacity of water resources.…”

This research paper is to analyze the planning and design techniques of the tourism complexes in the process of municipalities’ master planning. First, it explains the importance of the tourism industry with the help of theories of scholars and experts. Then, it emphasizes the link between the economic developments of cities/regions with the development of the tourism industry. The innovation of this work is to integrate tourism industry planning and comprehensive regional/ urban planning. The main way of doing this is to plan and design the tourism complexes in the early stages of the master planning of the municipality. Urban land-use policies and locating techniques are suggested through this research. Land-use policies and new urban design models for the regional/urban sustainable development are some of the other handouts in this paper. The outcome of this research is good assistance for engineers, planners, and students of urban and regional development.
