Abstract
In recent years, "City" as the main human settlement has become more important than ever. Cities, as the engine of growth and the main focus of increasing development challenges in environmental, socio-economic, political-institutional, spatial-critical, etc. dimensions, have found complex and diverse aspects and have turned the study of the city into a complex and interdisciplinary field. Iran is also a country that has begun, accelerated, and completed its rapid urbanization process after the second half of the twentieth century. However, the expansion of systematic urban studies on the subject of the city and its vital dimensions has been delayed. The aim of the present article is to systematically review published research with internationally valid indexes. For this purpose, all articles related to the subject of "Iranian cities" in the Scopus scientific database from 1964 to 2026 were analyzed. To extract and visualize the findings, Bibliometrix library tools in the Rstudio and VOSviewer programming environments were used, which can provide more appropriate findings. The results of the study show that in recent years, the volume of research on Iranian cities has expanded significantly. Accordingly, researchers active in the specialized fields of environmental health, geology, and epidemiology have played a prominent role in publishing their research in internationally indexed journals. However, the role of disciplines that specialize in studying cities (such as urban development, urban planning, urban management, architecture, etc.) has been less prominent. In addition, the co-occurrence analysis of keywords in the subsystems of natural-ecological, social-health, political-management, and physical-spatial issues shows that the published articles mainly reflect the urban issues and challenges of Iran and have less expressed innovations and innovative solutions to solve the problems.

Abstract
Awareness and understanding of the climate trends by farmers and the attitude towards the necessity of this awareness is one of the essential capacities in agricultural societies. Farmerschr('39') attitudes to climate information are affected by their behavior with the climate hazards and uncertainties and influence their decision on adopting appropriate strategies to minimize the damages caused by climate changes on agriculture and improve their readiness. Hence, the aim of the present study was to establish a comprehensive framework and model for the qualitative evaluation of studies discussing the factors that affect farmerschr('39') attitudes to climate information utilization with a systematic review approach. For this purpose, the following keywords, including climate, climate change, climate changes, meteorological information, global warming, drought, flood, chilling, frost, climate hazard, precipitation, temperature with the aid of the following keywords namely, farmer, farmerchr('39')s attitude, farmerchr('39')s perception, farmerchr('39')s knowledge, and indigenous knowledge were used in both languages, Persian and English, among the articles published between the year of 2000 and 2019. After three stages of screening 788 related articles and according to approved criteria, 25 scientific and research articles were selected and explored. After qualitatively evaluating these articles, a model with five bio-environmental, individual, social, economic & technological factors as well as 19 dimensions has been proposed to evaluate the factors affecting farmerschr('39') attitude towards using climate information. Finally, to apply the results of this study, a unified conceptual model is presented that can be the strength of the existing frameworks in making the national agricultural policy.
