Abstract

Green spaces have a key role in moderating urban micro-climatic conditions, beautifying urban landscapes, citizens' leisure time, and also reducing noise and air pollution and absorption of Aerosols. In addition to the significant advantages of green space, water consumption and irrigation needs is one of the main limitations of green space development in Tehran that nowadays faced to critical water shortage. Calculating water footprint in green spaces, as the total amount of fresh water required to maintain green space throughout the year, is one of the indicators by which the compatibility of tree and plant species with climatic conditions can be assessed. The main object of this study is to estimate the water footprint of Laleh Park in Tehran province of Iran. The Green space soil water balance (SWB) model was used to calculate water footprint in this park. The required data that including: average daily temperature, total precipitation and moisture depth of zero to 30 cm of soil, were obtained from the Geophysical meteorological station of Tehran for 2018. Data related to soil water drainage were also estimated based on standard laboratory samples of green space soils. The results indicated that in the warm months (June to September) of the year, the total water footprint of Laleh Park in Tehran was 4 to 5 thousand cubic meters per month (m3/m), while the winter months (December to March) total estimated water footprint were less than 1400 cubic meters per month. The generalization of 30 Centimeters depth soil moisture data of the geophysical meteorological station to Laleh Park, released that, in the warm month of the year, Green Water (groundwater or surface water) had the largest portion (more than 90%) in the water footprint of Laleh Park, While in the winter months (December and to march), the green water (water from snow and rain) is main participant in providing soil moisture, more than 90% of the total water footprint of Laleh Park  has related to this source.

Abstract

Due to the importance of forests in natural and anthropogenic environment, the effects of meteorological drought on the dryness of oak forests in Ilam province were investigated. The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of Zagros forests with drought occurring in the area. The results of the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) for the time periods showed that the most drought occurred in 2007, 2008, 2011, 2015 and 2016. Remote sensing data (MODIS images) were used to investigate the vegetation trend (NDVI) of trees during the period 2016–2016. The vegetation trend (NDVI) was significant over the period with the index drought index (SPI) with R2 = 0.9999. Ground harvesting of oak drying points and simulation using Landsat satellite imagery with 15 m pixel output from GIS software showed that 17894 hectares of area forests from 2000 to 2016 were dried and destroyed and prepared with oak forest and integrated layer. The output layers from the drought zoning were shown visually and the statistical analysis was performed in three 5-year time series. The results of these analyzes from 2002 to 2006 showed that the correlation coefficient between meteorological drought and oak drought 96.6% with a coefficient of determination R2 = 0.985, for the time series of 2007 to 2011 the correlation coefficient between scratches Meteorological and oak dryness of 95.4% with R2 = 0.980 and coefficient of correlation for meteorological drought and oak drought of 98.8% and R2 = 0.995 of coefficient respectively. Its fluctuations in time series show the intensity and duration of the drying up of oak forests in the region. According to the results of this study, it is predicted that if the drought goes through this process, 1118.4 hectares of oak forests in Ilam province will be dried and destroyed annually.

Abstract

To conduct this research, first, the data of monthly observations of synoptic and hydrometric precipitation from the National Meteorological Organization and the Ministry of Energy during the 30-year period (2006-2005) were obtained. To examine the prospect of future rainfall changes, the historical data of the period (1976-2005) and the simulated climate data of the period (2050-2021) using two models of CM3), (CSIRO-Mk3.6 from the series) Models (CMIP5) and according to 4 scenarios RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6 and RCP8.5) that are available with a spatial resolution of 0.5 x 0.5 with the BCSD method have been used.Mean-based (MB) strategy has been used to correct the bias in the output of these models. The results of the AOGCM models showed that the CSIRO-Mk3.6 error coefficient was less than the GFDL-CM3 model for simulating precipitation in the case of Large Karun.The average future rainfall (2021-2050) in the whole basin compared to the average observed rainfall during the statistical period of 1976-2005 shows, in both models and scenarios in both basins in terms of amount and area of ​​precipitation is decreasing significantly.Heavy rains in the Greater Karun Basin have been concentrated in all scenarios and models east of the basin. The highest rainfall was in the central foothills. The lowest rainfall is in the southwest and southeast. The final results of the present study are expected to be 83-116 mm. Both models are expected to have the highest rainfall in the Greater Karun Basin, with two scenarios: rcp4.5 and rcp2.6.

Abstract

In geopolitics literature, small and low-endowment states that compound lesser geopolitical potentiality and weight are considered as the trivial scale agents in comparison with the first and second level powers. These agents, in spite of the local geopolitical codes but sometimes can effect on the regional and even global events of geopolitics. The Caucasian region, historically, have had a field for appearance and exposition of sub-khans that their overall actions and agencies effected the events of the region and due to its cultural proximities to Iran, have effected in Iran’s geopolitical functions in national scale. The present paper with descriptive-analytical method, have studied historical role of the local agencies in geopolitical events of the Caucasia and their impression on the great scale events. Secondly, the paper has studied the quality of the chosen countries of the region in current circumstances of the global system. Results indicate that the Caucasian countries act according to their historical legacy as a small-scale agents among the great scale actors.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship as an emerging phenomenon in the economy today plays an important role in the economic development and development of the villages because it is created for the purpose of progress, poverty eradication and employment creation. Rural areas, however, suffer from a lack of financial capital to start a business or expand their current economic activities. Governments have therefore provided self-employment loans in the form of micro-rural credits to facilitate the process of employment and entrepreneurship in rural areas. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of micro-government credits in rural entrepreneurship development in Radkan. The purpose of this study is applied and developmental research and descriptive-analytical. Different methods of data collection (documentary, library and field information) have been used for this research. The statistical population of the study consisted of 27 entrepreneurs and using Cochran formula and error level (0.06) of 244 people from 13 villages of Radkan village were selected as sample and their opinions based on the research indicators related to the subject. The results showed that micro-government credits in general did not play a significant role in the development of rural entrepreneurship in the study area. Sample entrepreneurs in the study villages often apply for bank loans and then provide the rest of their own funds from personal finance. Also, due to insufficient amount of loans, lack of easy access to credit, lack of insurance support from entrepreneurs, prolonged time for getting credits from institutions and inappropriate repayment period, entrepreneurschr('39') satisfaction with average of 2.32 and rural people with average 1/91 is very low.

Abstract

Broiler is one of the most common sources of poultry meat which has become one of the most popular and fastest poultry production in the world. The performance of broilers is directly affected by increasing or decreasing temperature and heat & cold Stress. In this study, it has been attempted to evaluate the cooling and heating degree-days (HDD and CDD) at different broiler breeding periods for Khorasan Razavi province. For this purpose, monthly mean temperature data for the statistical period (1988-1998) derived from 13 synoptic stations of the province were used. The cooling and heating degree-days were calculated for each of the breeding weeks based on specific thresholds and their spatial distribution was assessed. In the next step, the relationship between the cooling and heating degree-days and geographical parameters were evaluated. The results showed that with increasing latitude, the cooling degree-days decreased and the heating degree- days increased. The northern and western regions of the province have shown greater heating requirements in all broiler breeding periods, while the cooling requirements at different stages of broiler breeding have been higher for the eastern and southern regions of the province. In terms of total cooling and heating requirements, the northeast, southwest and western regions of the province; the cities of Khaf, Gonabad, Kashmar, Sarakhs and Sabzwar have the least heating-cooling requirements in the six-week broiler breeding period and are considered suitable climates for the development of this economic activity.

Abstract

  Geotourism is one of the important ecotourism species with a responsible and conservation-oriented approach that emphasizes the popularization of the earth sciences and the cultural, social and economic development of indigenous communities. Geosite, as the concept of the basis of geotourism, emphasizes places with geological or geomorphologic values, along with added and complementary values. In order to evaluate the geotourism conditions of a region and to assess its capabilities for management, it is necessary to value Geotourism has been identified and evaluated. The city of Firozkouh, with its numerous heritage land, is one of the areas prone to geotourism. In this research, through library and survey methods and using geotechnical assessment methods including Fascias method, GAM method and land degradation method, the city's geocytes from different perspectives were evaluated and analyzed. The results show that most of the geocytes of the region have a weak link with the native community despite their high profile and high educational potential and aesthetic value, and their vulnerability and their risk of collapse are increasing. It also faces a major challenge in terms of conservation and tourism services. In proritizing geosites, the Waznah geosite, Vashi Strait and Burnik Cave were favorable for investment and marketing. Also, in terms of Geopark capabilities, it turned out that the city could not become an independent geopark, but could play an important role as part of the geopark of Damavand.

Abstract

Urbanization and increase in urban population as a result of the natural increase in population and rural-urban migration, has led to the concentration of the highest material and spiritual human capitals in these urban settlements. At the same time, various natural and human crises threaten these capitals. Urban management has undertaken various programs to deal with these crises, and the latest approach in this regard is to increase the resilience of cities. The concept of resilience can be discussed in various physical, economic, social and environmental dimensions.
The present study with a descriptive-analytical approach and with the aim of assessing the physical resilience of Tabriz metropolitan areas and determine their status relative to each other. For this purpose, multi-criteria decision making methods (MADM) and hierarchical analysis process (AHP) have been used. Also, 3 models of TOPSIS, VIKOR and COPRAS have been used to rank regions in terms of physical resilience. Finally, the Copeland model was used to combine the results of the mentioned models. The results show that regions 2, 8 and 9 jointly have the highest physical resilience. In the next ranks are regions 1, 10, 3, 7, 5, 4 and finally region 6, respectively.

Abstract
Urban Regeneration is the one of Restoration function that imports to four dimensions of Form, Economy, Society and Ecosystem. Environment Quality is the one of objects of Urban regeneration. On the other hands lack of peoplechr('39')s interest to live and spending leisure time, the quality of city center decreases and it is more important to increase quality of city center. Environment quality is general subject and, in this study, we use creative model place for describing quality factors of environment. Golkar`s model “sustainable place” which comes from Canter`s Model “Place” is the one of most complete models for assessing the qualities of environment; It imports to four dimensions of form, activities, imaginations and ecosystem after that eventually we can obtain the Conceptual Framework of central part of Urban regeneration based on Environmental Quality. By means of content technique, various ideas and views about environment qualities from global theorists, Experiences of regenerating city center and national restoration document were collected then calculate average of them for selecting most important of them. Finally define Measures for all these important qualities to draw Conceptual Framework. The result show that legibility and Visual character are the most import qualities of empirical-aesthetic factor, Permeability and Socio petal space and Quality of public area and Vitality are the most import qualities of functional factor and Compatibility with nature is the most important quality of ecological factor. These 7 qualities which are among the most important qualities must be considered in regeneration of city centers.

Abstract

Climate change and global warming are very important issues of the present century. Climate change process, especially temperature and precipitation changes, the most important issue is environmental science. Climate change means a change in the long-term average. Iran is located in the subtropical high pressure zone in arid and semi-arid regions and the Hyrcanian forest is a green area between the Caspian Sea and the Alborz mountain range. At the 43rd UNESCO Summit, the Hyrcanian forests were registered as the second natural heritage of Iran. Beech is one of the most important tree species and the most industrial species of Hyrcanian forests It accounts for about 18 percent of the northern forest volume (from Astara to Gorgan with a life span of about 250 years). The study area is located in the Shanderman basin in western Guilan province. In this research using tree dendroclimatology, Use of vegetative width of beech tree rings, Weather station statistics located in the study area, And Mann-Kendall nonparametric statistical method, To Investigate Climate Change Trend on Growth Time Series and Pearson Statistical Method, in order to evaluate the correlation of diameter growth of beech tree rings with climate variables in the region, an attempt was made. Results of time series of beech tree growth rings over 202 years. Using the nonparametric method Mann- Kendall showed, Changes in growth rings of beech trees have a downward and negative trend, at level 5 %, it was significant.

Abstract

Cities occupy vast areas. These fields are composed of different topographic and morphological units. As cities develop and expand, their dealings with various units of topography and geomorphology and related topics increase. Geomorphological units are always associated with the dynamism of the natural environment. Any action for the development of cities in some way intersects with the mentioned dynamism and detachment, and consequently with morphological phenomena. In this approach, if some necessary principles and points are not observed, the morphodynamic balance of the environment will be disturbed and the great dangers of most of the equipment and facilities of the city will be threatened. Sometimes the intensity of morphogenesis is so high that it produces irreversible results. The present study is descriptive-analytical in terms of purpose and in terms of data collection method and in the form of a survey or field in which the researcher has made a questionnaire. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of roughness in coastal city planning using a comparison of AHP and AHP FUZZY hierarchical analysis in Noor city. In addition to the main goal, The results showed that in the early stages of the planning process, simple methods can be sufficient when identifying development options as a focal point. Under these circumstances, the choice of advanced and technologically advanced methods does not necessarily produce different results. However, when planning needs to identify the spatial extent of the desired development area, it would be ideal to consider the intersection area proposed by both methods

Abstract

Vulnerability is the inevitable result of risks and crises that threaten societies to varying degrees. One of the main threats is earthquakes. The recent approach to disaster management programs is to increase the resilience of communities that have different dimensions. One of them is the physical dimension of urban resilience, which is linked to the components of land use planning. In this research, with the aim of analyzing land use criteria affecting the resilience of Tabriz city and using fuzzy AHP method, research has been done.
Based on the results of the study of theoretical foundations, 13 effective criteria have been identified and the basis of action. The required data were extracted and used from maps and spatial information of urban plans, especially the detailed plan of Tabriz, Then Using ARC Map10.3.1 software, each criterion is analyzed and each criterion is presented in the form of a fuzzy map. Sum, Product and gamma fuzzy operators have been used to achieve the final resilience map. Due to the high accuracy of the gamma operator, its results are considered as the final output.
The results show that in the city of Tabriz, 2% have very low resilience, 40.8%, low resilience,15.3% moderate resilience, 23.5% high resilience and 7.2% very high resilience - based on the Used criteria-. Areas with low resilience are generally located in the north of Tabriz city and correspond to the informal settlement texture and the worn-out texture of the city, which corresponds to the fault line of Tabriz and Micronutrient and permeability are other features of these areas. Due to the high population density in these areas, it is necessary to immediately adopt the necessary programs to improve the quality of physical resilience criteria in the city.

Abstract

Coastal environmental degradation as a result of Caspian Sea water level fluctuation are very probable and human behaviors in non-optimal choice of the land use locate intensify these losses. Coastal tourism, as one of the coastal land uses is heavily influenced by fluctuations in sea level in both marine transgression-regression statuses. In current study, to investigate the Caspian Sea water level fluctuation impacts on coastal land use and urban tourism (Noor and Royan Cities), at first, sea level historical recorded data in Baku, Bandar Anzali and Nowshahr tide gauge stations were studied during 1840 to 2019. Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite images and histogram filtering were used to extract the shorelines corresponding to the mentioned levels. Survey the tide gauge data showed that the lowest and highest water levels were recorded in 1977 (-28.5 meter) and 1993 (25.24 meter), respectively. According to the latest water level data, its value on November 2019 has reached the lowest level in the last three decades (-27.31 meter). 214 hectares of coastal lands of Noor and Royan Cities have been submerged due to the Caspian Sea water level rising from 1977 to 1995. Analyzing the Royan city land use in relation to the shoreline of July 1995 shows that 11 city blocks have went beyond this shoreline and have expanded to the sea. Interesting facts about these 11 blocks is that they are residential and tourism land uses. Also, in the coastal zone of Noor city, three important utilities of coastal tourism, including groin built in the breakwater of Noor recreational port, Negin Noor coastal complex and floating pier of Aryan Hotel, are the most important utilities related to Caspian Sea water level fluctuation that their performance is strongly influenced by these fluctuations.

Abstract

A sense of belonging to an environment is an emotional connection that takes place between people and the external environment. Many studies have shown that the existence of this connection and its deepening between the person and the environment has a significant role in promoting the physical environment and the emergence of positive social behaviors. Therefore, recognizing the sense of belonging and the factors affecting it and ways to improve it is one of the issues that can lead to the improvement of living conditions and physical environment. Among the many factors that affect the sense of belonging, the time factor as one of these factors can be effective from two perspectives; Duration of residence and age of the environment. In this study, while researching the effect of each of these factors on the sense of belonging of residents, a comparison between these two factors and the intensity of the effect of each on the sense of belonging has been done. The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. In order to collect the required data and information, library and field methods and questionnaire tools were used. The statistical population of the study consists of citizens living in the six studied neighborhoods in Zanjan. The sample size was estimated to be 300 people using the Cochranchr('39')s formula. SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the sense of belonging in the study areas is moderate to low. The results also showed that the duration of residence and the age of the environment have a positive and significant effect on the sense of spatial belonging and its components. Among the variables, the effect of the environment variable on the sense of spatial belonging is greater than the length of stay, so that the age of the environment predicts 27.1% of the variance of the variable of spatial belonging.
