These factors in the students sector include the slope and height of the stairs, fines or encouragement, escalator placement and waste of time, which in most cases are the same as the student section. Also, the most important factor in the student sector is the creation of the middle of the street, in the public user of park is number of stairs, and in the student sector was waste of time.Escalator construction gives incentives for more people to use the streets to cross the street.

Therefore, the National Park's valuation could explain its importance to the rural people and the tourists inside the park.as well as affect the decisions of the managers. The main aim of this study is to estimate the value of protecting the natural resources of this national park. The Logit model and a dual two-part selection method was used in order to investigate the factors affecting rural people and tourists’ willingness to pay. The data needed for this research study was collected by completing questionnaires and interviews with 228 persons from local people and tourists in 2015. This activity was carried out for three months using the Cochran general formula and random sampling was used. The results showed that factors such as gender, education, previous participation in promotional classes, participation in state institutions, being a local resident and income have a positive and significant effect while age and the proposed amount have a negative and significant effect on local people's willingness to pay (WTP). The per person’s average willingness to pay is about 180 thousand Rials and the per family’s average willingness to pay is about 800 thousand Rials per month. The results show that the rural people and the tourists inside the park and other tourists place a high value on the natural resources. Therefore, it is recommended that politicians and policy-makers pay special attention to these natural resources and invest more on maintaining and improving the quality of these resources.

Agricultural insurance is the most important strategies to achieve to security of income and stability of production. This study investigates factors affecting adoption of livestock insurance in rural areas of Marand township, using Logit model. Data and information required for this study are collected using cluster sampling and questionnaires completed by 150 farmers in year 2013. Results show that 48 percent of dairy farmers are not willing to insure their livestock because of low rates of compensation, and long time high premium compensation. Logit model analysis showed that age, education level, income, number of animals, the level of awareness of the benefits, non-related job and credit facilities were among factors affecting acceptance of insurance; and all of them except age and non-related job had a positive effect on the adoption of insurance. So, informing dairy farmers about benefits of insurance may improve the acceptance of it.
