Purpose: The main goal of this research is to identify the environmental factors that influence the formation of creative ability of 7-11-year-old students in Ilam city.
Methodology: The present research is of a mixed exploratory type (qualitative-quantitative) in terms of its practical purpose. In the qualitative stage, using the qualitative method of theme analysis based on the opinions of research experts (selected in a purposeful way), the evaluation and identification of environmental patterns effective on the formation of creative ability in students have been evaluated, and the results of the theme analysis are four patterns of natural and artificial elements of the environment. , the natural structural characteristics of the environment, the determining factors of environmental behavior and the physical dimensions of the space were presented for the proposed qualitative model. In line with the results of the theme analysis, a researcher-made scenario regarding the influence and influence of the identified patterns on the formation of students' creative ability has been used using the fuzzy Dimetal technique.
Findings: The findings showed that the adaptability component that has the highest amount of D+R is the most interactive. It has the same relationship with other indicators as well as the heat and humidity component which has the highest D-R value; It has the greatest influence on other indicators. Also, in the same dimensions, the dimension of physical-spatial factors) has the most interaction with other dimensions, and also the dimension (determining factors of environmental behavior) that has the most influence on other dimensions.
Conclusion: The environment is considered as an important factor in creating the fields of learning and creativity.

Purpose: The general purpose of the current research was to test the fan interaction model, fan identity and brand image of the selected teams of the Iranian Premier League (study: fans of Persepolis, Esteghlal, Tractorsazi and Sepahan).Methodology: The present research was descriptive of the correlation type and based on structural equation modeling with the partial least squares approach, and in terms of its purpose, it is considered a part of applied research. The current research community is the fans of Iran's premier football league. Meanwhile, four teams (Perspolis, Esteghlal, Tractorsazi and Sepahan) were selected as the top four teams of the 2019-20 league respectively. Due to the fact that the size of the statistical population is unlimited, stratified random sampling was used. In this research, the scale of fan interaction with the brand was used from the Desart questionnaire (2017), the brand image of Tim Bauer et al. (2008) and the team identity of Mile and Ashworth (1992). Structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach and Smart Pls version 3 software were used for data analysis.Findings: The results showed that fan interaction has a significant positive effect on the brand image and identity of team fans.Conclusion: Finally, the research model had a strong fit and can be used as an operational model in the Iranian Premier League to attract more football fans.

Purpose: The current research was carried out with the aim of the socio-economic development model of Iranian football.Methodology: The research method was applied in terms of its purpose and mixed in terms of its execution method, which was conducted in the field. The football industry of the country (managers of the economic field in football (federation, some heads of delegations and expert experts in the field of sports economics) from this collection to the point where theoretical saturation was achieved regarding the research topic, people were asked to conduct interviews and obtain the necessary information related to The desired topic was chosen in a completely improbable way. According to these materials, the interview started with the purposeful selection of people who were experts and knowledgeable in relation to the research topic (economic development) and during a 3-month process and interviews with 20 Ehsas researchers. Kurd, which reached the point of theoretical saturation. Also, in a small part of the statistical community consisting of all experts in the field of sports marketing, especially football, some officials in the economic and marketing field of football in the federation, sports boards, experts and university professors, members of the media, managing directors of football clubs, Coaches, referees and athletes were selected in order to complete the necessary data. Due to the large number of people in the research community, the available sampling method was used to provide the necessary data to test the model. Based on this, 384 people were selected as samples. The research measurement tool in the qualitative part included semi-structured interviews. In the quantitative stage, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. To obtain the validity of the questionnaire, content validity, construct validity and Cronbach's alpha were used for its reliability. The steps of data analysis in the qualitative section were through open coding, axial coding and selective coding with MAXQDA 2020 software based on the Glazer method. In the quantitative analysis, the structural equation model based on SPSS and PLS software version 23 was used to analyze the inferential data.Findings: Four factors including policy, economic, club and comparative development factors are effective on the socio-economic development of football; There is a significant difference between them, such that "comparative development component" has the highest rank in the factors affecting the economic development of football from the perspective of the research sample, and "club factors" have the lowest rank.Conclusion: According to the findings of the research, after compiling the socio-economic development model of Iranian football, it was found that the fit indices of the model had an acceptable and desirable value, and the research model was confirmed.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to presenting a curriculum model based on the vitality in primary school students.Methodology: The present research in terms of purpose and implementation method was applied and descriptive from type of quantitative, respectively. The research population was primary school teachers of Tehran city in the academic years of 2019-20 with number 11526 people who 374 people of them were selected as a sample based on the Krejcie and Morgan table with the multi-stage cluster sampling method. The samples responded to the researcher-made questionnaire of curriculum based on the vitality in primary school students (100 questions) which whose psychometric indicators were acceptable. Data were analyzed with exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling methods in SPSS and Smart PLS software.Findings: The findings showed that curriculum based on the vitality in primary school students in the main category i.e. curriculum based on the vitality were included of positive motivation and belief, social relations and academic engagement, in the category of causal conditions were included of educational goals, textbook text, educational methods and curriculum evaluation, in the category of contextual conditions were included of intra-classroom conditions and school conditions, in the category of intervening conditions were included of educational policy-making, environment and culture, in the category of strategies were included of decentralization and infrastructure and in the category of consequences were included of engagement and behavior. Also, the factor load of the main category, causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences was estimated higher than 0.50, their average variance extracted was estimated higher than 0.70, and their reliability with using Cronbach's alpha and combined methods was estimated higher than 0.80. In addition, the curriculum model based on the vitality in primary school students had a good fit and in this model the causal conditions on the main category, main category, contextual conditions and intervening conditions on the strategies, and strategies on the consequences had a direct significant effect (P<0.001).Conclusion: According to the results of this research, the designed curriculum model based on the vitality in primary school students can help planners and experts in designing and implementing programs to improve vitality in students.
