چکیده

Purpose- Social sustainability, especially in rural areas, is one of the most important goals of policymakers, planners and managers. However, social sustainability in local communities, such as villages, can be challenged through environmental instabilities. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to analyze the tensions and social dangers in rural areas of Neyshabur, one of the provinces of Iran.Design/methodology/approach- In order to measure the relationship between the independent variable of drought and the dependent variable of social tension, ۲۴ variables were identified in the context of drought, existing tensions and social damage caused by water scarcity in the study area. The required information was collected from documentary studies and also through interviews and questionnaires. One-sample t-test, Pearson correlation, single-variable regression, and VIKOR model were used to analyze the data.Findings- The results show that there is a relationship between water deficit deduced from drought and ۲۲ social unsustainability variables. Based on the results of the regression test and the amount of obtained beta, respectively, the greatest effects of water shortages deduced from drought was on intensifying rural poverty (۰.۹۳۲), increasing living expenses (۰.۹۳۱), and the destruction of small crop and small cultivation (۰.۹۲۴). Also, the results of the VIKOR model showed that there is a difference between the studied villages in terms of the severity of social tensions.Originality/value- This study has been promising to focus on the effects of drought and water scarcity as an environmental unsustainability in shaping and exacerbating tensions and social injuries. Therefore, the results of this study can be effective in recognizing the social impacts of environmental changes in geographical areas and countries facing environmental changes.
