AIn Iran, the risk of annual floods causes great damage to the villagers of the affected areas, especially in the housing sector. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to physical resilience due to the high vulnerability of rural housing in the face of floods. Based on this, the present study has investigated the optimal strategies for physical resilience of rural housing in the face of floods. The research method is descriptive-analytical based on documentary studies and field survey After initial exploratory studies, 9 villages in Dargaz city that were most vulnerable to floods were selected as a sample.data analysis was performed using two strategic planning instruments (SWOT-QSPM(. Due to the expertise of these two tools, the research questionnaire was completed with the help of 25 rural experts (Dehyar and members of the village Islamic council). Based on initial exploratory studies, 14 strengths and opportunities were identified as advantages and 18 weaknesses and threats as constraints on the physical resilience of rural housing in the face of floods. According to the final score IFE = 2.46 And EFE=2.41 "Defensive strategies" or at least - at least as focal strategies were selected to increase the physical resilience of rural housing. The overall goal of defensive strategies, or "survival strategies," is to reduce system weaknesses to reduce and neutralize threats. Based on the analysis performed in the QSPM matrix, among the defensive strategies of "Increasing residents' knowledge and awareness of the principles of standard construction in flood-prone areas", it has obtained the highest score of 2.637 and was selected as the first strategy.

One of the important factors that fail to achieve the goals of agricultural development and increase production and income of farmers in developing countries is the inadequacy of the marketing system of agricultural products. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the type of research is applied. The farmers' analysis unit has been producing medicinal plants and rural experts. In this study, two strategic planning and management tools, namely SWOT and QSPM, were used. Based on field and documentary studies, 14 strengths and opportunities were identified as advantages and 24 weaknesses and threats as limitations and bottlenecks in the marketing of medicinal plants. According to the final score in the internal factors evaluation matrix IFE = 2.12 and in the external factors evaluation matrix EFE = 1.725, "defensive" (minimum-minimum) strategies were found to be desirable. Also, with the help of Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), 11 defensive strategies were prioritized. In the meantime, the strategy of "reforming the marketing system of medicinal plants in the country" by identifying target markets for effective presence in the international trade of medicinal plants, determining a traceable code on the export shipments of medicinal plants, establishing specialized companies for exporting medicinal plants And standards and the like, with a score of 3.758, were prioritized as the focal strategy. Obviously, in this regard, adopting appropriate policies and strategies based on realistic knowledge of the current situation, can lead to an increase in the share of medicinal plants in global markets while making optimal use of available resources (water and soil) and meeting domestic needs.
