Abstract

Desert tourism in western Afghanistan presents both investment potential and socio-environmental risks, yet empirical guidance for prioritizing interventions is scarce. This study identifies and ranks investment priorities and persistent barriers to sustainable desert tourism and examines how community participation mediates investor intent. This study used a convergent mixed-methods design. Decision criteria were elicited with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) from n = 15 regional and sector experts; criteria weights were applied to a TOPSIS ranking of preferences derived from a structured survey of n = 300 stakeholders. Qualitative triangulation was provided by semi-structured interviews (n = 25). AHP pairwise matrices were evaluated for consistency (report CRs in manuscript). Inferential analyses (multiple regression and mediation testing using bootstrap resampling) examined relationships among perceived risks, community partnership mechanisms, and investment intent. Results show AHP/TOPSIS integration produced a clear priority ordering of investment criteria; green-technology and community-partnership mechanisms emerged among top priorities (see Table X). Survey models show statistically significant associations between perceived security risks and reduced investor intent; community participation attenuates this relationship (bootstrapped indirect effect — report point estimate and 95% CI). Qualitative themes corroborate quantitative rankings and clarify context-specific barriers (infrastructure gaps, governance, and security). Combining AHP and TOPSIS with qualitative evidence yields actionable, locally grounded investment priorities for desert tourism policy and planning. Prior to submission, insert exact CR values, regression coefficients, p-values, and bootstrap CIs in the placeholders provided. Limitations include cross-sectional design and sample representativeness.

Abstract

Poverty is an undesirable social phenomenon whose existence and expansion in society lead to all-around miserable consequences in the short and long term. This ominous phenomenon is condemned in all human religions and cultures, and various ways and methods have been proposed to eradicate it from society. Islam considers a life with prosperity and peace as the natural right of human beings and confronts the obstacles to the realization of this goal. Therefore, it gives teachings to its followers that, by following them, they will enjoy a life of full joy and contention, and their physical and mental health will be guaranteed. Undoubtedly, poverty is one of the biggest concerns of all human societies and economic systems. Poverty is one of the negative phenomena that pose a threat to life. Economic schools of thought have presented different ways to deal with it, but so far, they have not yet succeeded in eliminating poverty from human lives. Its occurrence is called an unpleasant complication. Poverty is one of the most important long-standing issues in developed and developing countries, including Islamic countries. To solve the problem of poverty, many studies have studied the factors affecting poverty. The purpose of this research is to identify the role of Islam in reducing poverty. In the question of the research, it is stated that what is the role of Islam in reducing poverty, and what are its recommendations for reducing poverty? The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical, and the required information was collected from library sources and a combination of the Delphi method.

Abstract

Afghanistan, as one of the world’s largest producers of narcotics, faces significant social, economic, and health challenges. Despite numerous efforts to combat the cultivation and consumption of narcotics, the issue remains a major problem in many local communities. However, some of these communities have succeeded in achieving remarkable progress in reducing narcotics cultivation and consumption through participatory programs and alternative economic development. This research aims to identify and analyze the successful experiences in narcotics eradication in local Afghan communities and to evaluate the factors contributing to these successes. A qualitative methodology was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with local community members, experts, and government officials. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings of the research indicate that educational programs, awareness-raising initiatives, the development of alternative economic opportunities, and active community participation have played a crucial role in reducing narcotics cultivation and consumption. Nevertheless, challenges such as financial constraints, administrative corruption, and cultural resistance remain significant barriers to the successful implementation of these programs. The study concludes that with increased international support, administrative transparency, and strengthened educational and economic programs, the dependency of local communities on narcotics cultivation can be significantly reduced. This research provides a foundation for the development of effective national policies in the fight against narcotics in Afghanistan.

Abstract

Developing countries often face the challenge of underdeveloped rural areas, resulting in adverse impacts such as poverty, unemployment and migration. Therefore, it is very important to prioritize rural development and improve the living conditions of rural residents. This research aims to identify and analyze economic factors that contribute to village underdevelopment in Afghanistan. This research uses a combination of field studies, Expert Choice software, interviews with experts, and credible library sources for data collection. The statistical population consists of experts, university professors, and individuals involved in rural economic development. We collected data through face-to-face interviews and questionnaires. We used confirmatory factor analysis and coefficient of variation for data analysis. These findings reveal that there are several factors that contribute to rural underdevelopment in Afghanistan. These factors include management problems, especially the prevalence of unskilled labor in rural economic activities. Financial problems, such as inadequate credit and investment in rural areas, also play a role. Limited social participation and low involvement of women in rural activities are other contributing factors. Environmental problems, such as inappropriate use of underground water resources, further exacerbate this problem. In addition, physical challenges, such as weak or non-existent rural-urban communication networks and other related problems, also contribute to rural underdevelopment. Addressing and overcoming these fundamental barriers and challenges is critical to achieving rural development and overall national development. Furthermore, this research identifies key factors of rural development in the economic sector.

Abstract

Water resources are among the most vital natural elements and play a significant role in international relations, particularly for countries that rely heavily on these resources. This study examines the impact of water resource management on Afghanistan's international relations, particularly with neighboring countries such as Iran, Pakistan, and Tajikistan. As a landlocked nation, Afghanistan relies heavily on its water resources, which are crucial to its political, economic, and social stability. Mismanagement and unsustainable use of these shared resources can lead to international tensions, social unrest, and environmental degradation. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the research analyzes the opportunities and challenges associated with water resource management. It emphasizes the need for international cooperation, legal frameworks, and modern technologies. The findings suggest that effective water resource management can foster regional cooperation and improve Afghanistan's socio-economic conditions, while inadequate policies may heighten tensions. The study offers strategic recommendations to address these challenges and promote sustainable development.
