        The purpose of building surface water collection networks is to enhance the resilience of cities against unexpected events such as floods and to improve overall urban health. Recent rainfalls in Bandar Imam Khomeini have exposed vulnerabilities, leading to severe flooding in roads and streets due to the absence of canals and surface drainage systems. The problem has caused significant damage to the infrastructure of the region. The research aims to implement a runoff management system using the Geographic Information System in Bandar Imam Khomeini. For this purpose, digital layers of the area, including elevation, slope, direction of slope, and drainage network of the city were prepared using the Geographic Information System. The fuzzy logic method was then employed to identify areas with the potential for runoff accumulation in the region. The research findings indicate that these areas are concentrated in the east, center, northeast, and southeast of the region. Then, using the RiverTools technique and according to the map of the city's drainage network, the best routes for constructing proposed canals were determined. These canals include sub-canals, second-order main canals, and third-order main canals. The first-order canal is the main conduit that collects the water of the second and third order canals.

        The purpose of the research is to present a pattern regarding lay-off in municipalities of Esfahan province, and to analyze the impact of structural, behavioral and individual factors on lay-off and its aspects. The research was done to secure future jobs for the staff who either want to leave or the staff who have remained in the organization. The method used to do this research is descriptive and correlative .The method used to collect information is mixed (qualitative and quantitative).In the first stage (qualitative approach), the subjects were 22 experts who had suitable information about the issue of lay-off. A lay-off pattern and the influential factors on lay-off were designed using the fuzzy Delphi method and also fuzzy logic. The two methods were used to have more correlation between the views of the experts. Then, in the quantitative part, a questionnaire was designed in order to evaluate the pattern and then after reviewing the validity of the questionnaire through Exploratory Factor Analysis, it was given to some managers who, based on Judgmental Sampling, had been chosen out of managers of branches of municipalities in Esfahan province. The relationships between components of the model were reviewed using structural equation model. The findings demonstrated that all of the e hypotheses were confirmed. Considering the mentioned indices  for the aspects of lay-off in this research ,municipalities can adopt effective decisions regarding determining the kind of job ,the kind of performance they will have in future  (for the staff that will remain in the organization) and also about necessary measures taken to secure future jobs for the staff leaving the organization.

        Urban ever-increasing development, irregular population growing up and immigrations to the cities have led to unplanned and uncontrollable urban development and changes in urban spatial structure. For this reasons, informed guidance, principle organization and spatial planning are necessary for urban sprawl and development. In this research, different forms of urban development were considered and development basic barriers including rivers, topography, geology, ecological conditions, facilities, industries, factories… were determined and the role of each one was surveyed. Sprawl can contribute to a host of problems, including heavy traffic, daily increasing of air pollution, and destruction of natural habitat and environment. So development trends that are based on effective parameters especially environmental impacts were modeled with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The quality of urban planning and management can be upgraded when available and valid data are handled in an advanced manner with the aid of GIS. The innovative technology can support planning and decision making by offering relatively quick response on analytical questions and monitoring issues. Experienced expert determined the degree and primacy of urban sprawl and development parameters generally and for nalos case study, these parameters and criteria and its weights were marked, then were modeled with GIS for nalos developments. With using GIS and it capabilities in calculation of land size forecasting for Nalos development and its positioning we could take a step in planning directions such as stable development achievements.

        Permeability is one of the basic concepts of contemporary theories ofurban planning and design which as a qualitative index (in some aspects) has taken a great attention in decisions of urban planners. However a more connected (Permeable) road system provides a great number of route options and provides more direct routes but it is arguable that permeability is not always a good quality of urban fabric. A great number of samples can be found in historic cities of Iran that for defensive purpose or for cultural/religious reasons, permeability is intentionally decreased as shown in samples of article from Old Semnan City. In Iranian cities also assessing this measurement (permeability) has a great role in defining decays in urban spaces and an index is used for it. Reviewing literature on the nature of this concept (not only in urban planning and design field but in general) shows that what has been used in defining permeability is not pervasive. As a response to this deficient definition and index for measuring permeability, this article has reviewed and represented some other measurements (including Intersection density, Street Density, Connected Node Ratio, Link Node Ratio, Gamma Index and Alpha Index) that has been used around world as response to pedestrian safety, decreasing emergency services time, etc. Finally application of them in a sample urban fabric is showed. Many of these indices are based on the simulating urban street pattern to a planar graph and so some principles of graph theory (Like Euler Theory) is applied in order to define the best and worst samples. But looking at urban fabrics shows some differences in these two, so based on these differences Gamma (Ratio of the number of links in the network to the maximum possible number of links between nodes) and Alpha (Ratio of the number of actual circuits to the maximum number of circuits) Indices are reviewed and a new form of them is proposed. Finally for measuring permeability, a combination of three indices of Distance of parcel to the first entrance of district, adjusted gamma and alpha indices and Distance to first intersection is proposed. For applying this method to a sample urban fabric, the number of calculation for each parcel will decrease enormously. So a procedure for programming (automation) in GIS is proposed which makes this method in some aspects dynamic. Data and Informationfor applying in this procedure can be collected from roads network layer of each city and parcels in land use maps. Based on this, decision makers can modify both indices and proposed alternatives by considering the outcomes of the process. For the purpose of testing this procedure a sample of Tehran city which is located in southern part of it and as a historical area suffer from permeability problem, is selected and each index is assessed in it and then using the method proposed in this article an intervention process is proposed in the area and finally it is reassessed which shows whether the intervention is efficient or not.

        Ever- increasing growth the number of motor vehicles in urban routes and lack of coordinated development of infrastructures and fixed installations of urban traffic have intensified traffic problem in down towns of cities. One of the facilities that are urgently needed is sufficient space for parking of cars. Ignoring the parking issue has created problems in daily trips of citizens, traffic jam, marginal stops, and severe pollution of   air. These problems demand continuous endeavor and effective needed measures. Proper place finding of public parking lots will promote their efficiency and will minimize number of marginal parks.  Now that the central areas of the metropolis of  the country is highly concentrated, proper place finding for public parking space with strong means and methods is a must because it will solve the problems related  to parking and will meet relevant needs. Considering above points, the present study has been made for finding suitable places for public parking spaces in district 3 of Karaj metropolitan. In this research, the strong capabilities and analytical functions of   Geographical Information System (GIS) have been used. To be correct and accurate in localization is a very important object in order to have a perfect project. To active this we should use Geographic Information System as a powerful management and data analyzing tools. Although these days, different decision making methods are developed, which will help to designer and decision makers in order to get an exact and fine decision. If these methods apply to analyzing GIS, we could use a great deal of important knowledge from experts to get a better understanding of analyzing. As a matter of fact using of different methods for decision making and expertize will help to expanding abilities to getting a good localizing decision. In general localizing of public parking lot areas in most of places in Iran will evaluate in a traditional way, which will cause to end up having impractical parking lot areas. Even in some cases traffic problems are unavoidable. In this research, first we should find effective criteria, that by doing this we will use experts knowledge and questionnaires. Then after choosing effective criteria, layers of these criteria are made in software in GIS. The deal is the layers should get standardize to a particular way, it means an expectable way to combine different layers; in this study are two binary and fuzzy methods. The weighting of each criteria and sub-criteria will give us an idea of properness with concern to using one of the weighting methods. Obviously we use expertise knowledge in these cases. In this study the criteria are weighted in Analytic Hierarchy Process method (AHP). And then for making spatial analysis the weights are applied to the layers made from the criteria in GIS software pieces. The most important part of this research is combining the proper information layers. Finally, using classical Boolean methods and Overlay methods as well as Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) and Weighted Liner Combination (WLC) Fuzzy method, the suitable places are determined.

        Quick changes in marketing medium make it more and more necessary for companies to monitor the environment. In fact more competitive conditions would make it necessary for companies to obtain and process the information. To get more and correct information about inside and outside, companies should use modern technologies and information systems. Marketing information management by technology tools is one of the main and major procedures for applying effective marketing. mar Marketing information systems (MkIS) would help managers through collecting and distribution of marketing information for better and quicker decision making and would led to improvement of efficiency inside the company. In fact MkIS is a supportive system for marketing managers while making any decision. In producing industries especially diary industries, for redundancy of information related to domestic and international markets, competitors and customers and manufactured products, senior and marketing managers need on time, comprehensive and correct information for quick and better decision making proportional to the market conditions and environmental events. As one of the objectives for MkIS is to collect such information, it is necessary for such industries to be equipped with such a comprehensive system. So, this paper is trying to give a correct pattern for designing marketing information system in Tehran Pegah Milk Factories in order to facilitate the process of decision making for senior and marketing managers of this complex. To this end recognition of major information sources, determination of required information for data collection from these sources, finding the new capabilities created in marketing decision making by applying such procedures would be the main objective in this research. Relying on theoretical basis and principals and using experts and managers’ view points in this company, the suitable conceptual model of this research work (Kotler Model) was extracted. This model would show certain parts, determination and evaluation of the required information, collection of information from domestic record of the company, marketing news, marketing researches, decision making supportive system and finally distribution of information. As the view points from relative authorities of Pegah Milk Company in the fields of commercial affairs, marketing, sales and market research are considered for drawing the final pattern for such a system, we discovered information needs and accessible sources for such information through interviews with experts in these sections. Then for testing the results and to determine the relative priorities in terms of the importance of any one, a questionnaire was designed and sent to all relative commercial, marketing, sale and market research authorities of Pegah Milk Company, consisted from such information needs, accessible sources and potentials from using marketing information system. This questionnaire was analyzed in this research as a means of data collection in this research. To analyze data the importance index was used to show the importance of any sources of information needs and statistical clustering analysis was used for their classification with the following results: Determination of the critical sources of the company including domestic and outsourcing, requirement of marketing information of the company and recognizing the potentials created in marketing decision making process for using such marketing information system. Results from the current research are given as a basis for designing the marketing information system of Tehran Pegah Milk Company.

Strategic alignment isvery important in increasing company's performance, however, few studies have beenmade to investigate the factors that affect alignment, and therefore, in this study weaimed to identify different levels of AIS alignment in of Iranian companies and theninvestigated the factors that affect in this alignment. We defined AIS alignment asadoption between AIS requirements and AIS capacity. Using a questionnaire, datafrom 81 companies (include their financial and executive managers) was gathered onnineteen accounting information specifications for both requirements and capacity ofAIS. We applied moderation approach for fitness between these two items. Thencluster analysis was applied to categorize companies in two groups of aligned andunaligned. The study then investigated some factors that might be related to AISalignment. Findings indicate that AIS alignment was related to level of manager’saccounting and IT knowledge; usage of accounting and audit firms; and usage ofinternal IT staff. The company size is also related to AIS alignment. Manuscript profile

        From the perspective of urban planning and management, the criteria for the distribution of parks, in terms of the scope of influence and the benefits of the surrounding areas, is of particular importance. The main purpose of this study; Determining and evaluating the influence area of each type of urban parks in Tabriz. The map of urban parks was produced based on updating the land use map extracted from the detailed plan of Tabriz using satellite imagery and fieldworks in a combined method. Then the map of Tabriz city parks according to their area were prepared in 5 categories of parks; Mini, Neighborhood, Regional, Community and Mountain parks and the influence radius of each park was applied in GIS as a buffer based on internal research. The results showed that none of the ten districts of Tabriz Municipality are desirable in terms of covering the influence of "neighborhood" parks and the need to develop this type of parks in the whole city is serious. District 1, 2 and 8 are in a good position to cover the area of ​​influence area of "Regional" parks. Most districts, except 9 and 5, are covered by "Community" parks. "Mountain" parks cover almost all the ten districts of Tabriz and district 1 is in the best condition in terms of being within the influence area of all types of parks. In terms of social and psychological functions of parks, although the existence of Metropolitan parks is necessary to attract large local populations and tourists, but the great impact of "Mini" and "Neighborhood" parks in addition to ecological functions, in family entertainment and ultimately increase social vitality should not be ignored.

        Every year flooding causes countries billions of dollars’ worth of damage that threatens the livelihood of individuals. As a result, it poses significant socio-economic threats to populations worldwide. Therefore, it should be controlled and restrained. In this regard, machine learning algorithms, along with geographic information systems, are primary tools that are effective in flood control modeling and analysis. The purpose of this research is to identify a part of flood-sensitive regions across the Heraz catchment area in Mazandaran province using ensemble methods in machine learning algorithms. The research process is as follows: first, the data of flood points were prepared. Next, 70% of approximately 240 sample positions were used for modeling and map preparation. The remaining 30%, which were randomly selected, were used to validate the produced maps. Then, the effective factors, including slope angle, slope direction, topography, soil type, land cover, distance from the river, annual rainfall, normalized difference vegetation index, index of sediment transmittance, index of topographic wetness, and index of stream density have been used to weight the impact of each factor using machine learning algorithms. Based on the results of this study, the system performance characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to validate the flood-prone area map. Findings demonstrated that the Adaptive Boosting model is more accurate than the Bagging model in preparing a flood sensitivity map. Predictive susceptibility mapping plays a pivotal role in enabling urban planners and managers to mitigate and safeguard proactively against the adverse consequences of flooding. Flood management authorities in the Ministry of Energy can employ the proposed ensemble model to assist disaster management and mitigate hazards in future studies. . Manuscript profile

        Growth of population and economic-social needs of human being led to impressive growth of industries including aquaculture as an important source of protein needs in recent decades. This development which is usually associated with lack of environmental impact studies leads to environmental degradation in many countries. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluation of ecological potential of Kabgian basin for aquaculture. In so doing, texture, depth and erosion of soil, slope, temperature, pH and water flow, stone, sensitive habitats, protected areas, conservation value of species and ArcGIS 10.2 according to 'Makhdoum Aquaculture Model' were used for site selection of fish farming ponds along the Kabgian River. The results showed that from 192 ha extent of the study area, 78.7 ha in the vicinity of Botari village was suitable for the development of aquaculture industry. As regards spatial distribution of fish farming ponds along the Kabgian River is not in a good condition and just focused on a specific part of the river, therefore, self purification potential of river will be decreased. So to reduce of environmental impacts of aquaculture on the water quality of Kabgian River, move the fish farming ponds to suitable areas for aquaculture development is recommended.

        Earthquake is a natural disaster which causes many problems. One action can be taken to reduce these problems is to use spatial analysis for the purpose of zoning its hazard and based on its results, planning and decision making can be done efficiently and effectively. The importance of this issue is more in Tehran province because of containing the capital of our country and the accumulation of assets. Therefore, in this research, Tehran province was considered as the case study. In the next step, some criteria maps such as distance to fault lines, their density, the magnificence and depth of previous earthquakes, distance to them and topographic situation of our study area were produced. Then a linear fuzzy membership function was applied for each criterion. The AHP method was used to determine weight of them and finally they were overlaid with the help of the fuzzy sum method. Tehran province was classified into three classes of law, moderate and high hazard and for each county, the percentage area of each category was determined. It shows that 70 percent of Shemirant and about 50 percent of Tehran, Firozkoh and Damavand counties were located in areas with high hazard. Manuscript profile

The city of Urmia as the other large towns has experienced considerable structural changes in its traditional and old context. It is to admit that reaching a more detailed and comprehensive knowledge of the changes and the factors behind could very well help the managers and related programmers to solve the current problems of the city and be able to achieve a more healthy and sustainable city in present and future. An efficient way to understand the changes in physical body of the city is to carry out comparative study of various aerial images happily produced and archived by the national geographical organization. But one important problem that for such studies exists is the loss of coordinated and geo-referenced images which makes the comparative study particularly for a given spots and in detailed cases hard and impossible.

In this research the impact of land use and vegetation on erosion forms and sediment production of the basin vers in Qazvin province was investigated using MPSIAC erosion model by Geographical Information System (GIS). The different forms of erosion (Surface, Rill, gully, bank, Stream) can be seen as moderate to severe in vers watershed. Amount of sediment for the whole of watershed was 7.1 ton per hectare per year and the amount erosion was 7.04 tons per hectare per year. Dryland farming with 2.14 (metric tons per hectare per year) has the greatest impact on erosion and sediment yield. In pasture (type 3) and dry farming have very high sediment yield and indicated the improper use of land. Sediment produced on pasture (Type 1) Less than a garden land use that reflects the positive impact of proper pasture vegetation in reducing the amount of erosion and deposition. Manuscript profile

        Different explanations have been provided for remote sensing, but as a summary,one can define it as the science and art of information acquisition about objects,terrains or different phenomena by gathering information from them without anycontact.In a remote sensing system, receiving and recording of information are done bysensors contrived in platforms. These platforms may have a variety such as aircraft,helicopter, satellite and spacecraft, but form both quantitative and qualitative points ofview, satellites play one of the most major roles in remote sensing. One of the mostadvantages of remote sensing is to collect information from hardly accessible areas ordangerous locations. Moreover, sensors aboard satellites and aircrafts can be used inresearches about polar territories, upper atmosphere, forest fires, volcanic activities,faraway oceanic parts and deserts which are difficult to be accessed by humans.Actually, remote sensing is the science and art of acquisition of information remotely,that is, obtaining information about objects and phenomena without any physicalcontact with them.In this article, after a review over the remote sensing technology and geographicinformation system, it is tried to use roles, applications and evaluation of the effects ofthese two subjects, in the geographical studies.

Recognize of the effective factors in happence ofgully erosion and it’s zonation is a basic implement to manage and control thisphenomenon. this study has been performed with aim of recognizing the effectivefactors on the gully erosion making and it’s zonation in the watershed of Torood. Themost important effective factor in happending gully erosion such as slope, aspect,litology, land use, distance of communications network, land and canopy cover wereselected as the most important factors on gully development and their layers wereprovided in GIS environment. All three gullies in the area were selected for the study.For each gully, three soil samples were collected from 25, 50 and 75 percent of gullylength and three from outside of gully for comparison. This Samples have examinedfrom the view of Gypsum, Organic Carbon, Salinity, Saturation Percentage, Lime,Sodiun Absorption Ratio and PH. Gully erosion zonation map of Torood watershedwas prepared using 1:40,000 areal photos of 2001 and field measurements using GPS.The area covered by gully erosion in each class of effective factors, were computed byoverlaying gully erosion zonation map with effective factor layers. Effective factorsand their classes in related layers were weighted using Multi Class Mapsmethod.Results demonstrated that 88 percent of gullies are located at high to very highclasses of vulnerability zones. Soil analysis also indicated that salinity, gypsum andsodium absorption ratio in the gullies are higher and the amount of organic carbon isless than that of surrounded areas. But, there were no significant difference betweensaturation percentage, lime and pH in the gullies and surrounded areas. Manuscript profile

        Determination of soil fertility is very important to measure fertilization. Regardless of the level of soil fertility, the improper use of chemical fertilizers, not only the quantity and quality of agricultural products would not rise up, but also it makes imposed additional costs, disturb the balance of nutrients in the soil and environmental issues are also raised. Therefore, the assessment and mapping of soil fertility is essential. In this research, the fuzzy technique and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used for mapping soil fertility into Geographic Information System (GIS). The amount of available soil phosphorus and potassium, total nitrogen, soil organic carbon, pH and cation exchange capacity (CEC) obtained form 77 surface soil samples were used as the input data. In the first stage, the interpolation of data was done by Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) model into GIS. Then a fuzzy membership function was defined for each factor according to Sys guideline. Finally, the map of soil fertility was prepared by using AHP technique into Expert Choice software with an inconsistency ratio of 0.07. The results showed that soil organic carbon has the greatest impact on the soil fertility in the study area and for wheat cultivation, most area were classified into group of moderate suitable.

        Background and Objective Our country is going in a costly and long-term challenge in the socio-economic, political, cultural and technological arena. City recognition and the region in which the city is located is based on such an attitude. Material and Methodology: Cost-benefit analysis and some tools such as sustainability indicators and environmental issues are among other ways to promote attention to long-term impacts of the current development. FAHP model is one of the most popular multi-purpose decision making methods for situations with multiple measures. Finding: In this study, by calculating the weight and ranking of effective criteria and sub-criteria in the allocation and zoning of urban land use in 7 stages, FAHP technique has been applied. In order to formulate a sustainable solution for current and future urban development, it is necessary to have better knowledge about the adaptation of current constructed areas (including cities, suburban areas) with natural environmental factors. Discussion and Conclusion: Hence, the results are presented based on the charts as weighted results of the thematic information layers related to each of the sub-criteria (indices) are also given in the charts. The model of allocation and zoning of urban land is based on the degree of desirability in 4 classes or groups, which in the analysis of the method of high, middle and low limits of scores or each criterion scores based on the sub-criteria related to each of them are considered to determine the changes scope (changes limit) and by considering the effect of each of sub-criteria, the results are used based on the four criteria and sub-criteria related to them.

        Background and Objective: Groundwater is one of the most important water resources for irrigation usage in arid and semi-arid regions like Iran. So, in order to determine groundwater potential zones, it is important to specify its quality variations over a plain. The aim of this study was to zoning the groundwater quality of Mokhtaran plain, Iran, for irrigation using network analysis (ANP) method. Material and Methodology: Regarding this purpose, this research was conducted to zone Mokhtaran Plain’s groundwater located at latitude between 32˚ 13’-32˚ 46’ N and longitude between 58˚ 40’-59˚ 45’ E in South-Khorasan, Iran, in 2015. Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), total hardness (TH), sodium solubility percentage (SSP), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), permeability index (PI), magnesium adsorption ratio (MAR) and kellyes ratio (KR) were used to create water quality layers in GIS. Analytical network process (ANP) was utilized to implement these layers. Findings:  The results showed that quality of groundwater was better at the east region compared to the west. According to the results, appropriated region for irrigation covered about 40.72% of the plain (consist of sub-categories: 3.28, 17.09 and 20.35% in the class of very appropriate, appropriate and semi-appropriate, respectively) and non-appropriate one covered 50.28% (consist of sub-categories: 49.11, 7.35 and 2.82% in the class of semi non-appropriate, non-appropriate and very non-appropriate, respectively). Discussion and Conclusion: Regarding the results, it is necessary to extract groundwater at north and east part of the plain.

        Background and Objective: The black male Caucasians grouse (Tetrao mlokosiewiczi) is one of the rarest birds in the world. In Iran, it only lives in Arasbaran forests. The black male Caucasians grouse is among the birds included in the IUCN (International Union Conservation Nature) red list. It means that, it is in danger of extinction. Therefore, the importance of recognition and conservation of the habitat for this rare species is significantly clear. Method: In this study, relying on 10-year field observations by experts, habitat model map for this bird was made using geographical information system. Among the obtained-by-GPS points that the black male Caucasians grouse had been seen, some points were selected randomly. Then by overlaying them with altitude, slope, aspect, density of forest cover, plant species types and climate maps, the habitat model map of the black male Caucasians grouse was prepared. Findings: To test the developed model, all of the points obtained in field observations were overlaid with the made. The results show the high accuracy of the prepared habitat model. The results also show that the black male Caucasians grouse lives in the fields with these specifications: dense and semi dense forests, altitude of 2100 to 2400, slope of over 30%, slope towards north, and humid and semi humid climate, where some plant species such as oak, hornbeam, seven cole, nagorno qat and eglantine are abundant. Discussion and Conclusion: Habitats are as one of the most important factors for survival of the species in any environment. Understanding the need of any species can be effective in selecting the suitable habitats to set them free. The capabilities of GIS are very effective in this regard, since by using them in the analyses, a large volume of data can be studied and habitat modeling can be done.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objectives: Population growth, urban development, and increased human activities will bring various outcomes, including the production and accumulation of waste, followed by environmental pollution. In developing countries, construction waste accounts for a large proportion of municipal waste, which in addition to the high cost of disposal, also has adverse effects on the environment. Because construction debris takes up a lot of space due to its bulk, disposing of it in landfills reduces the useful life of these areas and it is necessary to find a new place to bury construction debris. Method: Searching for a new landfill is a complex and time consuming process and requires a capable and efficient system, as using GIS and combining different layers of information and considering environmental, social and economic criteria, the most suitable landfill can be found. Located a building. In the present study, 16 criteria (slope, land use, residential, commercial and industrial centers, villages, roads (including 3 layers of highways, main roads and side roads), water (including 6 layers of wells, springs, aqueducts, Rivers, dams and waterways), antiquities, airport runways and mines) are involved in the location process, so that privacy and distance maps are prepared first ,then, in order to achieve more reliability, scoring the classes or parameter intervals was done in three ways. Criteria were weighted using Expert Choice software and hierarchical analysis (AHP). Findings: The results of the three types of scoring to multi-criteria analysis showed that there were significant differences in the results of different methods of scoring. Discussion and Conclusions: The results of combining 16 parameters involved in site selection in software Arc GIS9.3 showed that the appropriate zones for construction and demolition wastes buried in Hamadan, often are located in a 90-degree slice.

        Background and Objectives: Tourism development in protected areas creates many benefits for area management as well as the visitors. However, it should be considered that tourism without appropriate planning and management and assessment of the area’s potential can result in negative impacts on the protected area and tourists’ experiences. The aim of this study was to identify suitable areas with potential for the development of ecotourism in protected areas. Sarigol National Park and protected area as one of the protected area in IRAN, involve considerable tourism attractions, so it should be carefully planned for ecotourism development.Method: Since the objective of this research is to identify and zoning suitable areas for ecotourism, analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and GIS technology have been used to determine suitable areas for tourism. The factors used include topography, climate, wildlife habitat, and soil and vegetation type and vegetation density. The ecological map of the region was produced by AHP and the Fuzzy-AHP method by considering these factors. Also, the attraction map area was obtained by GPS points gathering and weighting through a questionnaire and GIS software. Then, by comparing this map and ecological potential map, the appropriate areas have been zoned for ecotourism.  Results: The results show that the areas with very high potential are located in the parts including Northwest, Northeast and Southwest. Areas with high power also include areas such as Easy Waterfall, Esfarayen Dam, Ganjdan Valley and Bidvaz Valley. In the attraction map, the most attractiveness is related to the Northern parts and some Southern parts of the region, such as Easy Waterfall. Comparing the ecological potential map and the attractiveness map, it was found that most of the areas that have high attractiveness also have high potential for ecotourism development. Therefore, it illustrated that there is ability to develop ecotourism in the Northern region of the National Park, Easy waterfall and some areas of national park. These areas also have high ecological power and are attractive for ecotourism development.Discussion and Conclusion: The development of tourism in Sarigol Protected Area is in the interest of the region and the environment and promotes the level of protection and sustainable use of talents. But in protected areas, protection should be the first priority of management, and other permitted uses, including tourism, can only be done if they do not conflict with conservation objectives.  Manuscript profile

        Abstract Background and Objective: Nowadays, paying attention to the quality of groundwater and its trend is very important for various purposes such as drinking, agriculture, and public health. Groundwater pollution is often formed due to toxic industrial wastewaters and disposing wells of urban wastewaters. Method: In this study, the qualitative data of Amol-Babol plain within1986-2009 was used in order to evaluate qualitative changes of groundwater resources. In the study area, the main groundwater consumption was found to be agricultural irrigation. Several parameters of electrical conductivity, Cl-, Na+, HCO3-, and pH were investigated to assess groundwater quality and Na+ was detected as the most important one. Then, Na+ was zonned in the area using geographic information system (GIS). Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that most of the polluted areas are close to urban and industrial landuses. Also, the highest contamination of groundwater was found in dry years due to low flow conditions of the main river in the area. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Arasbaran protected area is located in East Azerbayjan in the northwest of Iran. This area is one of the nine reserves in Iran, and 66.5% of it is covered by forests. In this study, land capability evaluation of this area for forestry was carried out in Geographic Information System (GIS) surrounding. Method: Both Boolean and weighted Linear Combination (WLC) methods along with analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used. First, the ecological characteristics of the study area including elevation, slope, soil texture, climate, value of vegetation type, soil depth and vegetation density were studied and then the calibrated model for forestry in Arasbaran area was created. Findings: In the first step, land capability assessment was done using Boolean method and results showed the presence of class capabilities of third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, and lack of class capability of first and second for forestry. In the next step, the importance of criteria and sub-criteria was calculated using expert’s comments and AHP technique in Expert Choice 11. Then, land capability assessment was done using weighted linear combination. The results showed that all of the seven suitability classes for forestry were proper in the area. Discussion and Conclusion: Mc-Harg systemic model has been used to evaluate the ecologic capability evaluation for many years. The new process in ecologic capability evaluation is to use the mathematical models and to use the analytical hierarchy process for determining the weights and relative importance of the alternatives and for ecologic capability assessment by geographic information systems (GIS). In this study, to evaluate the forestry ecologic capability, both Boolean and WLC methods were used and the advantages and disadvantages of them were investigated. Manuscript profile

        This study investigated the concentrations of Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd in the urban areas of the city of Kerman to find out whether the measured concentrations of heavy metals in soil, rocks, surface and ground waters and sediments can be related to anthropogenic contamination or natural weathering of rocks. Heavy metal concentrations in these samples were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. These concentrations were compared with environmental investigation limits.  The fresh rocks (limestone) contain relatively low concentrations of heavy metals as shown by background values. This study revealed that soil of Kerman is anomalously rich in some heavy metals. The accumulation of these contaminants is likely to accelerate as a consequence of rapid traffic as well as economic and industrial growth in the urban environment of the city. The characteristics of environmental geochemistry cycle are related to the pH range of rainwater (pH=6.8), high lead and copper values in dust particles (Pb>70 ppm and Cu>80 ppm), few anomalous values of lead in surface and ground water (0.01-0.12 ppm in surface water and 0.01-0.13 ppm in ground water), and very high values of lead (>10000 ppm) in some soil and sediment samples. The most polluted and dangerous cycles are caused by Sarasiab polluted creek (Pb and Zn values >10000 ppm) after Kerman garrison and soils close to battery, oil-change, and automobile-painting shops ( Pb>5000 ppm). However, Cd concentration was not a source of pollution in this region. Other pollution sources may be leachates, sewages, and landfills. Soil, sediment, and some of water samples had concentrations of metals (Pb>Cu>Zn>Cd) and the concentrations mostly exceeded the maximum permissible limit announced by the US EPA.  A GIS system was developed for Kerman urban environment quality evaluation so that health risk management practices could be planned.     Manuscript profile

          Introduction: Iran is located in one of the driest land regions of the world, where water is a limiting factor for lasting life, therefore using seasonal floodwaters is very important in arid and semi arid regions. On the other hand special attention has been paid to artificial groundwater recharge in these regions. Floodwater spreading on the permeable terrain is one of the flooding control way and utilization methods. Determination of appropriate site for water spreading is one of the most important stages of this project. Material and Methods: Parameters considered in the selection of groundwater artificial recharge locations are diverse and complex. These factors consist of earth sciences (geology, geomorphology and soils), hydrology (runoff, sediment yield, infiltration and groundwater conditions) and socio-economic aspects (irrigated agriculture, flood damage mitigation, environment, job creation and so on). Hence, decision making depends on criteria of diverse nature. The goal of this study is defining a Decision Support System for floodwater site selection in Mashkid area. Four main criteria were selected in this research are floodwater characters, infiltration, water application and flood damage. In order to determining the importance of factors, Analytical hierarchy Process and GIS was used. Conclusion: It will be expected that soil texture and floodwater volume of water application and floodwater main criteria are two important factors among other criteria (Hypothesis). After providing output maps which had been defined in several scenarios to determine the best locations for floodwater spreading and finally investigates sums suitability and averages suitability of each sub basin.

        Background and Objective: Today, urban planners have become interested to consider sustainable development in their planning. Evaluation of ecological capacity for urban development in order to select appropriate locations is the main factor in sustainable development. In this study, it has been attempted to evaluate the ecological capacity in order to determine the best possible regions for urban development in Baghmalek district by applying a combination of Analytical Hierarchy Processes and geographic information system. Method: In order to achieve this objective, first we recognized the effective criteria in urban development using the previous studies and by collecting opinions of the experts by Delphi methodology. Finally 5 criteria and 12 sub-criteria were selected. Then, we determined the priority of the criteria against each other by pairwise comparison method and by applying Analytical Hierarchy Processes. Finally, the required information layers were valuated based on fuzzy logic in environment of Geographical Information System (Arc GIS 10.2), the calculated weights were applied on them and ecological capacity map was prepared by weighted overlaying the layers. Results: The results indicated that %46.65 of the studied area has a completely unsuitable potential, %39.62 has an unsuitable potential, %12.27 has an average potential, %1.17 has a suitable potential and %0.29 has completely a suitable potential for urban development.   Conclusion: According to the classification of the final map, it was concluded that the prone areas for future physical development in Baghmalek district can be further expanded in the northern part. On the other hand, Southeast and East directions because of having mountainous regions, face with more restrictions for future development.                                                                                                                                                            Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: For protection of biodiversity and because of fast destruction of revocable national source which is becoming more challengeable every day, strengthening and expansion of protected area is the only proper way. In Iran, in addition to existence of fourfold conservative area, there are no hunting areas as an example of natural areas. These areas are valuable and prepared for conservation of nature ecological balance and preventing the extinction of plant generation and animal species. This area "with an area of about of 81373 hectare" is located in the West of Meybod and North-East of Sadouq in Yazd Province. In this study, for the first time, the ecological land capability of Marvar, with perception of conservation according to IUCN criteria, was evaluated to be designated as a protected. Method: Systematic Analysis method, Makhdoum (2001) ecological models and GIS were used for evaluation of Marvar no-hunting area. In this study, at first regional resources (socio-economic & ecological) were found. Digital data along with attribute data were insetted to the ArcGIS system to make the data base. Therefore, by overlaying information layers in the mentioned system, the ecological details were mapped for the area and the table of characteristic unit was presented. The evaluation of capability and zoning were done and fertilized area for suitable uses was selected. Finally, baised on the obtained result for the protected area classification system, the area was introduced as a conservative area according to national and international criteria. Results: According to the obtained results for ecological and economical-social resource, six zones were identified in this area as wilderness/ecological zone:(4.25%), protected zone:(41.62%), extensive use zone:(26.3%), intensive use zone:(9.4%), spatial use zone:(1.25%) and land use zone:(17.18%), and nearly half of the area was allocate to protection use. The, small extent of this area with high vulnerability shows its capability to be placed in higher conservative class. Hence, evaluation of obtained results under the condition of protected area according to available criteria explain shows that Marvar no-hunting area with approximately broad extent, has a high ecosystem diversity (mountain, plain and hill), considerable species diversity (52 plant and 82 animal species) and also high wildlife values such as economical, biological, and science-training values. Moreower, tourism attractions have high conservative value and can introduce a protected area in classification of fourfold areas of Iran, as well as in fifth class of IUCN, including areas under management of protected landscape or Seascape.  Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The crucial condition of northern cities in Iran, increases the necessity for a proper landfill site selection. Solid waste is an inseparable part of human life and in its production in different quantities and qualities is the biggest environmental problem at present. The first and the most important step towards waste management, is finding a suitable place for landfilling. Today, geographic information systems are widely used in environmental planning. Method: In this study, the geographical directions, surface water, faults, protected areas, soil, geology, distance from settlement and land use are investigated in terms of effective environmental factors while distance from main roads, distance from byway, slope and elevation are explored in terms of economical factors. Conclusion: After prioritization of factors with the help of experts’ idea and combining them in ArcGIS9.2, three appropriate locations were selected. Afterwards, the suitable size of the landfill site needed for the city was calculated, and considering the needed size, the final location for landfill was proposed.    Manuscript profile

        Abstract Background and Objective: Use of land ignoring the ecological differences and environmental potentials leads to adverse consequences and destruction of the environment, and eventually threatens natural resources and hinders sustainable development of the environment. Rapid expansion and development, lack of urban planning, and imbalance composition of Parsabad County call for implementation of proper management to prevent negative effects of development process and necessitate introduction of new zones for urban development. This study aimed to select appropriate directions for urban development within Parsabad County. Method: MADM was used with a focus on value and compensatory Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to weigh and combine the criteria in GIS environment. Urban development was completed using the criteria for ecological model of urban, rural, and industrial development. Moreover, some economic, social, hydrologic and hydro-geological criteria such as distance from wells, rivers, roads, airports, industrial zones, faults, and cities were also incorporated in this model. Conclusion: Results revealed that from the total area of Parsabad County, 6238.2896 acres was suitable, 18146.5083 acres was moderately suitable, and 110121.067 acres was unsuitable for urban development. Suitable and moderately suitable lands for urban development landuse are mostly located in the northern part of the medium. At present, the spatial distribution of Parsabad population centers in this area mainy because of adjacency to Aras River, low slope and proximity to the residential area. Manuscript profile

        During research patrol of 2001 ROPME, the physical parameters of sound velocity in the Persian Gulf were measured. The range of stations selected to measure these parameters included the entire Persian Gulf. However, these measurements were discrete from the study area.In this study sound speed was spatially modeled in Persian Gulf using the geostatistical analyst Arc GIS 9.2 software to prepare continuous and high validity maps of sound speed at different depths. These smart maps can be used to predict sound speed at any spatial coordinates in the study area by clicking the mouse pointer. Moreover, analysis of these maps led us to the conclusion that sound speed was highest in the shallower central parts but lowest in the eastern and western parts of the Gulf. The reason for this is the higher temperature and salinity in the central parts and the proximity of the eastern and western parts to the low-salinity waters of the Oman Sea around the Hormuz Strait in the eastern part and Arvandrood in the western part. The deeper waters also had the maximum sound speed around the Hormuz Strait and in the southern shores of the Persian Gulf where the more saline waters of the Gulf poured into the Oman Sea.

        Introduction: Heavy metals are one of the most important soil pollutants. The increased level of them in environment in respect to their stability has led to researchers’ attraction at recent decades. the principal goal of present study  is to  determine the spatial distribution of heavy metals  (Ni, Cr,  Pb, Cu and Co) in surface soil of Hamadan county. Material and methods: For this Sampling was carried out based on systematic method from depth 0-20cm. heavy metals concentration and soil characteristics including PH, silt,clay and sand percentage were measured. Interpolation for  heavy metals levels concentrations were done by geo-statistics methods . Different elements were interpolated through Radial basic function(RBF), Ordinary and Disjunctive Kriging and inverse distance weighting .The method accuracies were compared by using mean absolute error and mean bayas error. Results: for heavy metal concentration maps, Cr,Co and Pb, we used (RBF),for Cu inverse distance weighting(IDW),for Ni  ordinary kriging with exponential model. Overplaying heavy metals distribution maps with geology and land use maps showed that Cr, Co and Ni have geological origin, The highest levels of Lead concentration is controlled by geological formation, agricultural activities and also urban pollution. Cu have originated from bed rock. But, excessive consumption of chemical fertilizers according to agricultural activities can increase most of these elements in soil. Manuscript profile

        The present study aimed to explore the lived experience of elementary school teachers about the Quality of the Shad program management information system in the form of a phenomenological study. The qualitative research design was implemented using the descriptive phenomenological method. The research population consisted of 17 teachers with teaching experience in Shiraz in 2021. Their selection was performed through a purposeful sampling approach and standard sampling method. The data collection method was a semi-structured interview. The criteria of acceptability and reliability of qualitative data were used to measure the initial validity of the data. After coding the data, the theme analysis method (basic, organizing, and global themes) was used to form a network of quality themes for the Shad program management information system. The five organizing themes were experiences related to students’ academic performance, students' behavioral interactions, students' evaluation experiences, and teachers’ teaching, experiences related to parents, and finally, an exploratory model in a global theme called system quality. Considering the necessity of online teaching in all grades, especially elementary school, it is suggested that policymakers and educational planners first provide the necessary technological infrastructure for the trustees of the field of education and measures such as knowledge of the management information system in the Shad program and how to use it. It is desirable to create a two-way teaching environment, create a student evaluation system, improve the speed of programs, and so on to see the effective results of such systems. Manuscript profile

        Aquifer vulnerability assessment to identify areas that have a potential contamination of water re-sources management, is very important. One of the rudimentary and important ways to prevent groundwater contamination is the identification of vulnerable areas and applied its results for land use management. In this study, the vulnerability of Ramhormoz aquifer evaluated by an Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and Modified DRASTIC based on GIS. In the DRASTIC model the map of seven hydrogeological characteristics affecting groundwater pollution (depth to water, net recharge, aquifer media, soil type, topography, the impact of vadose zone and hydraulic conduc-tivity) was combined using Geographic information system (GIS) and aquifer vulnerability map was prepared. In order to overlaying the data layer tree methods (DRASTIC-DRASTIC, DRASTIC-AHP and AHP-AHP methods) have been used. Nitrate concentration data of groundwater have been used for model validation. The results show that, except the southeast that have a high vulnerability, other parts of plain have a low to moderate vulnerability. In the study area, DRASTIC-DRASTIC and DRASTIC-AHP methods have a better results rather than AHP-AHP method. The correlation coefficient between Q index and nitrate concentration in DRASTIC-DRASTIC, DRASTIC-AHP and AHP-AHP methods is obtained 0.97, 0.96 and 0.81, respectively, which confirmed the results.

        Native plant development is one of the ways to restore degraded rangelands. In Dezful, Anchusa strigosa is a medication species which is one of the region’s main exports. Due to habitat degradation of this species by overgrazing and rangeland degradation, by considering ecological demands, its habitat can be developed. The aim of this study was to determine the potential sites for development, according to the criteria of Anchusa strigosa climate, soil and topography using geographic information systems and hierarchical analysis. For this purpose, In 2015, the spatial data for species presence was used as potential locations for growth. Part of the habitat of this species was extracted from studies using ground and the points which were grabbed. The first point map of the field was prepared by visiting the areas and habitats, and then current biophysical information was extracted. For completing the information, from other sources, the ecological demand of species was extracted and combined with ground-based data. The six criteria map were prepared, classified and standardized in ArcGIS®10.1. As the weight of the layers is not identical, to prioritize the areas of potential habitat, analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was used to weight the criteria. The results showed that of total area 464547.3 ha, 31% accounts for good habitat, 38%, average habitat and 7% poor to very poor habitat. The results also showed that the significant dip weight and the minimum weight is most significant measure that shows no inclination and most valuable to the growth of this species. The results can be used to modify the operation of the ranch and mapping of suitable areas for development use. Manuscript profile

        Desertification is recognized as a main problem in the arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, identification and prediction of the effective factors in development of desertification are very important for better management of these areas. The main purpose of this study was evaluating the accuracy of an artificial neural network model for predicting the desertification process and selects the most effective criteria on desertification in the Dehloran plain by using the Iranian model for desertification potential assessment (IMDPA). In IMDPA model, water and climatic were selected as effective factors in desertification. In this model, three indicators for climate criteria; annual precipitation, drought index (Standardized precipitation index; SPI and continued drought and for water criteria; ground water table depletion, sodium absorption ratio, Cl, electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids were evaluated. Each index was rated using of IMDPA model. Then desertification intensity and criteria maps were prepared using a geometric average for predicting period in ArcGIS®9.3. Final data were entered into neural network to predict. The results showed that the neural network model has a high efficiency for predicting the desertification process in the study area. The accuracy of the model was about 80% and mean square error (MSe) was less than one. In addition, the climate factor and the index of EC were found the most effective variables for predicting the desertification process. In 2015-2016 predicted the most important probable criteria affecting the intensity of desertification were  climate  and water with weighted average 2 (moderate in sub-class1, 2 and 3), 1.84 (moderate in sub-class 1and 2), respectively.

Then incorporated and combined spatial and attribute layers corresponding to each factor such as topographic maps, satellite images, sharing date by county officials and basic maps in ArcGIS®9.3 software. Investigated factors fall into two main categories physical and non-physical. Totally 12 factors investigated according to kind of extensive ecotourism and then prepared maps based on priority. Results show that two main factors have equal value based on AHP method. Additionally, results pointed out that in physical factors, soil sensitive is the most important factor and road accessibility is less significant with 0.22 and 0.01 ranks respectively. Inconsistency was 0.4 that show logic comparatives. There was no difference priority between plant and animal diversity and land uses in non-physical factors in which show had equal indexes. Regions categorized into three sections based on the FAO method from very suit (S1) to low suit (S3). In addition, this study result appears practically useful for the development of tourism facilities and ecotourism resource utilization: First, for the highly suitable areas with S1 class (2150 ha, 36.66%), most of which are located in the mountain areas characterized by slopes and height. Low suitable in some part of the area which located on hills and low height was about 1235 ha (21.07%). Because of extensive ecotourism there was no any limitation to develop. Overall must attend that village development and decrease of plant cover cause negative effect on diversity and the degradation of nature and also region pollution. This unusual development cause less potential ecotourism in the future that must decision making. On the other hand, if create a shelter in suite location middle of the way to pick it will encourage to climbing. Manuscript profile

        Population increase and excessive use of different water resources, has led to special attention to groundwater resources. In this study, the efficiency of frequency ratio model in groundwater potential mapping in Azna-Aligoudarz plain, Lorestan was investigated. The 11 effective  groundwater  potential  factors, (altitude, lithology, curvature, slope, aspect, land use, distance from rivers, drainage density, fault distance, fault density, pedology, topographic wetness index; TWI) were prepared using GIS. The location of 370 wells  in the study area with discharge more than 11 (m3/h) was choosed and were divided in two groups of training (70%) and validation (30%) wells. Then the layers of environmental variables were classified and based on the density of wells and frequency ratio model, the weight of each class was determined. Finally, the groundwater potential map was prepared based on the frequency ratio model. Validation of final map was performed using relative operating characteristic (ROC) method. The result shows that the generated groundwater potential map using frequency ratio with 72.1% accuracy value, showed the high ability of this model in groundwater potential mapping. The groundwater potential map of the region showed that classes with a low, moderate, high and very high potential have been estimated to be 210.79, 210.24, 210.29  and 209.24 km2, respectively.

        According to the concept of desertification, which is land degradation in dry areas, the semi-arid, and dry sub-humid due to many factors such as climate change and human activities, this phenomenon has long been known as a serious problem in terms of economic, social, and environmental in many countries. In this study, by using a MEDALUS model the severity of land desertification in the western regions of Ahvaz was evaluated. Climate, vegetation, soil, and land use data are used as effective criteria in determining the severity of desertification. According to the MEDALUS model, each criterion entered the GIS environment as an information layer and after the data is processed, these criteria are weighted. By combining these criteria in raster formats, using geometric averaging, the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Index (ESAI) of the area is obtained. The results show that based on the MEDALUS model the area of the study contains four divisions; (C1) low, (C2) moderate, (C3) high, and (C4) very high critical. The results also showed that 11% of the area was in a low critical class, 30% in the moderate, 25% in high, and 29% of the very high critical class. A climate criterion with the index value of 2.6 has the greatest impact, which is due to strong winds and increasing number of storms and dusty days. Land use criterion with the index value of 1.5 has the minimal impact, which is due to inappropriate land use and implementation of desertification projects in the region. Manuscript profile

        Access routes are the basic requirements to access recreational areas and tourism planning. The purpose of this study is designing and evaluating of forest road network in order to select the optimal road network for tourism development in Arasbaran protected area. For this purpose, recreational suitable areas were evaluated and identified using Makhdoum systemic methods and Multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network. In order to prepare the road passing suitability map, effective criteria for road designing have been standardized with the fuzzy logic method and combined according to the relative importance obtained from the analytical hierarchy process. Then, the road network options were designed for access to recreational areas in the GIS environment and evaluated in terms of technical, environmental and socioeconomic. The results of the tourism suitable area assessment showed sections of the region have a capability for intensive recreation class 2 (0.17%), and extensive recreation class 2 (10.09%). According to the weighting results by criteria, slope criterion with a value 0.289 and height criterion with a value 0.033 have the highest and the lowest weight, respectively. Overall, 14 road network variants were designed and based on the final evaluation, variant 7 was selected as the optimal option with density 3.34 m/ha, accessibility (hard) 64.68% and minimum cost and environmental impacts. Therefore, taking into account the cost and environmental impacts and using GIS capabilities, it is possible principle design of the road network, and as a result the development of existing access roads in order to develop tourism in the area.

        Geomorphological landscapes are the foundations of natural resources investigations of the watersheds. Because these landscapes are affected by many factors such as climate, soil, hydrology, ecology, geology and so on. In this survey, Sabzevar region with diverse geomorphological processes from mountain to play is selected in order to be identified and classified using RS and GIS. For this purpose, a combination of both overlaying and photomorphic units visual interpretation methods was used. In the overlaying method, slope, elevation and geological maps were prepared and classified. In visual interpretation, the TM 5 sensor satellite images were used. After preprocessing of images, the PCA, OIF index, FCC, HS, NDVI index techniques was used to separate photomorphic units with the aid of the Google Earth. Finally, 4 units, 10 types, and 96 facies (in 261 replications) were separated. Statistical analysis using Chi-square test showed that there was a significant difference at the 99% level among the area of desertification units, types, and facies the confirming suitable spatial separation of the area. Pediment unit (50.97%), lower pediment type (25.97%) and alluvial fan facies with tunnel erosion (375.43ha) had the highest spatial distribution in Sabzevar region. Finally, it can be concluded that the overlaying method is not suitable for deserts and using a combination of visual interpretation method can fix this defect and increase the accuracy of the output map. The mentioned map can be used for development and implementation of land capability, natural resources and combating desertification projects. Manuscript profile

        Desertification is one of the most complex environmental threats with negative effects on the socioeconomic that play an increasing role in the severity of land degradation over the times. This study was carried out to monitoring the spatiotemporal variability of the criteria and indices effective on desertification in an arid region in the south of Khorasan Razavi province. Primary data, such as climatic parameters, vegetation, geology, soil, groundwater and surface water, agriculture and socioeconomic data were collected and introduced into the GIS environment, and a geobiofacies unit map was prepared. Then, desertification intensity was calculated by using the Iranian Model for Desertification Potential Assessment (IMDPA). Evaluations of indices were done based on available data and maps, expert opinions and satellite imagery in a GIS environment. The results showed the desertification severity being in two classes of medium and severe with 77% and 22%, respectively. Periodic monitoring of the effective indices on desertification also showed that low precipitation over the past 25 years 1984-2009 has caused increasing drylands and droughts. Assessment of land use changes during 10 years 2001-2011 indicated decreasing 6% in rangelands and an increase in agriculture, which was mainly due to 1.5% population growth rate during the years 1986 to 2011. The excessive removal of groundwater aquifers also caused a 10% drop in the wells water levels, resulting in increased land salinity as well as an increase in wind erosion in more than 93% of the study area.

        Due to the costs of natural resources projects, detailed studies are necessary, because the lack of positive response of plans will follow the loss of human capital and funds and lack of trust in anchors plan and natural resources departments of residents’ watersheds. The purpose of this research was locating corrective operations and recovery using Geographic Information System and Boolean method and comparing the results with the implemented projects in the watershed Maikhoran in 2006. Locating the corrective operations were done based on a map of rainfall, slope, soil and rangeland condition and then with incorporating the maps of the forecast operations for all applicable operations were introduced suitable places map. This map was included seed planting 4.761, Field strip cropping 6.973, heap planting 15.154, pitting 0.127, rippering 0.455, seed spraying 10.046 and transformation of low- yielding farms to pastures   17.977 square kilometres and exclosure throughout the entire basin. The implemented design in the spring of 1385 had a heap planting in 3.004, selling in 7.675, management, grazing in 51.717, protection of sensitive lands and transformation of low- yielding farms to pasture in 15.271 and 2.067 square kilometres of rangelands. Then, by matching the two maps obtained the kappa coefficient 0.27 that represents low matching between two maps. This result represents disproportion between located operations with implementing operations, according to the current situation in the region too. Manuscript profile

        The Aquifer of Naqadeh plain, located in the southwestern part of Urmia Lake, providing water supply of the area. In order to evaluate and classify water resources quality, 33 samples were taken from operational wells in June 2016. Hydrogeochemical characteristics and concentration of heavy metals, major and minor ions were measured by means of standard methods. Feasibility studies for various consumption of groundwater were investigated using graphical methods and quality criteria of Schuler (drinking), Wilcox (agriculture) and Langelier (industrial) classification. Based on the available information, the spatial distribution of the effective parameters using GIS and geostatistical interpolation method (Kriging) was applied to generate water quality zoning maps. In this regard, the final maps of quality, zoning were prepared after creating the raster layers of the effective parameters, classification, and integration. According to the results the hardness degree of drinking water of all samples was high, and also the concentration of some parameters was more than drinking (WHO) and agriculture (FAO) water standard, so inappropriate quality of these resources should be considered. The evaluation of industrial water quality showed scaling property of 61% and corrosive property of 39% of samples. In addition, the agricultural water quality illustrated that 46% and 39% of water samples were placed in good and average quality, respectively. Analyzing the quality, zoning maps with geological information, land use and distribution of industrial units were carried out in the plain and the results show that quality of groundwater is inappropriate mainly in the northern and eastern parts of the plain.

        Background and ObjectiveGully erosion is a type of water erosion that occurs in many climate areas, from arid to humid areas. This type of soil loss causes the displacement and destruction of soil surface horizons by the accumulation of runoff. In many parts of Iran, in the north, south and central faced with this type of soil loss.  In fact, gully erosion occurs in this area due to the complex topography, erodible soils, mismanagement of soil and land use/land cover. Therefore, in order to protect the soil in these areas, it is necessary that a susceptible map should be available to the managers and policymakers. Many parameters affect the occurrence of gullu erosion, including soil, geology, tectonics, hydrology, land use, vegetation and topography, that have been mentioned in various studies around the world. The topographic indices are the most important parameters in the event of gully erosion, which operates differently in each region according to the physical characteristics of the areas. This parameter also indirectly affects the other indicators or criteria (for example, its impact on the vegetation, climate and soil of the area). Even there are many researches on the gully erosion, but there are only a few studies on the modelling with applying the stochastic approaches. This study is the first attempt to the modelling of gully erosion in the central of Iran with applying the maximum Entropy model and topographic indices that have been applied with using the free of charge of digital elevation model. This study uses a new approach to preparing the susceptibility map of gully erosion in the Semirom catchment in the South of Isfahan province. This area is affected by different types of water erosion, same as; gully, rill and landslide. Also, the purpose of this research is to compare the accuracy of two digital elevation model, ASTER and SRTM with 30 m resolution, (DEM) from USGS website, for the modelling of gully erosion in the study area. The emphasis of this research was on the topography indices because it has most important on the event of gully erosion. Materials and MethodsIn this research for the prediction of the susceptible areas in the result of the main type of gully erosion, the following steps have been applied; In the first step the locations of some sampled gullies, have been digitized randomly with using the Google Earth (GE) images, aerial photos and fieldwork in polygon shapes for each gully. Subsequently, we converted the polygons and into equally spaced points. In the second step, we determine the most important criteria as the environment layers for the modeling. These topography indices including, wetness Index (TWI), curvature, profile curvature, slope, aspect, catchment area, flow length, elevation, slope, LS factor, Stream Power Index (SPI). The topographic indices have been extracted in SAGA GIS from the SRTM DEM with 30m spatial resolution and were then converted to the ASCII format to run in the model.  Before applying the indices, the DEM was preprocessed with low pass filtering to extract artefacts and errors, like local noise and with using ArcGIS. Subsequently, the DEM was hydrologically corrected eliminating sinks using the algorithm proposed by Planchon & Darboux. The Maximum Entropy Model is a general-purpose method for making predictions or inferences from incomplete information. MEM explores applications in diverse areas such as astronomy, portfolio optimization, image reconstruction, statistical physics and signal processing. The idea of Maxent is to estimate a target probability. In fact, this model needs only the gullies feature (present data). The advantages of this model include the following; It requires only presence data together with environmental information for the whole study area. It can utilize both continuous and categorical data and can incorporate interactions between different variables. Results and Discussion With applying the Maxent model in the Semirom catchment, it was trained using 70% of the mapped points of gully features as the target or dependent variable and 30% of the mapped gully as testing samples. The raster type of environmental layers (topographic indices) as the independent variable. The validity of the model used in this study was assessed using the level below ROC or Area Under Curve (AUC). The ROC curve was automatically generated by running this model for both training and testing data. The AUC for training data for SRTM and ASTER is 0.64 and 0.72 respectively and also for testing is 0.68 and 0.72 respectively. These results indicate that the SRTM elevation model has higher accuracy than the ASTER DEM. One of the reasons for the low accuracy of the ASTER DEM can be due to the impact of vegetation, which has caused terrace-like errors, while in the SRTM DEM, due to the radar nature of the waves, this error is reduced and a more accurate map of this the model has been prepared.  Our results show that SPI index with 40.3% contribution, elevation with 22.7% and convergence with 18% are the most important factors for the zoning of the susceptible areas. Regarding the predicted map of the potential of gully erosion, the area in the central and south of the study area are in the high probability. Conclusion This study applied the Maxent model to map the susceptibility of gully erosion in the Semirom catchment in the Isfahan Province, using various topographic effective factors and the Maxent model. Stochastic approaches like statistical mechanics provide a powerful tool to study the relations between locations of gully erosion features and corresponding environmental characteristics. The result of this study can be used for land-use planning and management of the areas with gully erosion for sustainable development in the prone areas. Although the results of this study show the prominent role of the topographic indicators for the prediction of the potential gully map, to increase the accuracy of the modeling results, in the furture researches the other criteria such as land use, vegetation and used soil, etc according to the availability of information to can be applied.

        Regarding stop industrial forests exploitation in northern Iran, this study was conducted to determine the suitable areas for wood farming by Eucalyptus in Khuzestan province using Fuzzy AHP and GIS. The indices used were included four main indices, water resources, land use, climate and soil and 22 related sub-indices (Soil texture, soil depth, soil salinity, soil acidity, distance from the river, water volume, surface water salinity, groundwater depth, groundwater salinity, mean annual temperature, mean minimum annual temperature, mean maximum annual temperature, minimum absolute temperature, maximum absolute temperature, mean annual rainfall, mean annual relative humidity, mean annual wind speed, shrublands around the rivers, sandy hills, Jihad Nasr lands, empty lands around the Jihad Nasr channels, empty lands around the water resources). Maps of these factors were prepared using Google Earth satellite imagery (from summer of 2017 to 2019), ground sampling (September of 2019) and available data. Eucalyptus cultivation map in Khuzestan province was also prepared from Khuzestan Natural Resources Administration and ground sampling by GPS in September of 2019. The land use map was prepared by the digitization of land use/cover using Google Earth satellite imagery from summer of 2017 to 2019. Accuracy of land use map was evaluated by 60 ground control points. The weight of effective indices in Eucalyptus wood farming potential was calculated using Fuzzy AHP. For this purpose, 30 expert questionnaires (30 expert judgments) were distributed among the scientific and operating experts of wood farming to express the importance and priority of effective factors in wood farming. Then, the mean questionnaire was obtained and it was analysed by Chang triangular fuzzy extent analysis. Based on this method, the normal weights of the indices and sub-indices were calculated using Fuzzy AHP method. Using the linear weighted combination of effective sub-indices, maps of the main indices and then a map of Eucalyptus wood farming potential was prepared. Finally, the wood farming potential map was validated by Eucalyptus cultivation map and its accuracy was evaluated in identifying the suitable areas for Eucalyptus wood farming in Khuzestan province. The results showed that among the main indices, water resources and land use had the most importance in the determination of the prone lands for Eucalyptus farming in Khuzestan province based on the Fuzzy AHP. According to the results, 12.83% of the area had very good potential and 10.47% of the area had good potential for Eucalyptus farming.  The results of the accuracy assessment of wood farming potential map also showed that Fuzzy AHP with overall accuracy 82% had good accuracy in identification of the prone areas for wood farming in Khuzestan province.

        Background and Objective In arid and semi-arid regions such as Iran, where the average annual rainfall is less than one-third of the world's average annual rainfall, groundwater is an important source of drinking water. Quantitive and irregular rainfall, limited surface water resources, and its absence in many parts of the country have led to the widespread use of groundwater. Today, increasing agricultural, horticultural and livestock activities on the one hand and industrial and workshop activities and population development along with population growth, on the other hand, excessive use of natural resources and expansion of industrial and agricultural activities and mass production of waste and scrap, groundwater resources are threatened. Seriously and has caused a lot of pollution. Qualitatively, most groundwater reservoirs are vulnerable to ministerial sources. Point sources of pollution from domestic and industrial wastewater and non-point sources of pollutants result from improper and excessive consumption of fertilizers and pesticides and their leaching into groundwater. Widespread groundwater pollution and the growth and awareness of human societies about the importance of these vulnerable resources have led to extensive efforts to protect groundwater. The process of regenerating aquifers on a regional scale in a reasonable time frame is not possible because groundwater flows very slowly. Vulnerability assessment is a way to zoning areas that are most prone to contamination; therefore, to prevent contamination and effective groundwater management, it is necessary to assess the vulnerability of aquifers because vulnerability can help determine practical and practical policies for the management of groundwater resources in the path of sustainable exploitation. In our country, in the last decade, the assessment of groundwater vulnerability to pollution has grown significantly and has had good results. Vulnerability assessment is a low-cost and powerful way to identify areas prone to contamination. Vulnerability assessment is a low-cost and powerful way to identify areas prone to contamination. In the Aisin plain of Hormozgan, due to its small area, low annual rainfall, and lack of water resources in this area, the use of groundwater resources is very important. Due to population growth, industrial activities and agricultural development, and the use of agricultural pesticides and chemical fertilizers in this plain and due to lack of knowledge or understanding of the exact level of groundwater vulnerability in this area, the need for rapid techniques to identify and assess vulnerabilities. It is underground in this area. The purpose of this research is was to map the vulnerability of groundwater in the Aisin plain of  Hormozgan using DRASTIC and GODS methods and with the help of GIS.Materials and Methods This research was carried out by DRASTIC and GODS methods with the help of GIS. The DRASTIC method is the most important rating method for determining vulnerability, which is more common among researchers and experts and has been used. The DRASTIC method consists of a combination of seven measurable and effective hydrogeological features effective in transferring contamination to groundwater, including groundwater depth, net recharge, aquifer, soil environment, Topography, Impact of the vadose zone, and hydraulic conductivity. Aisin plain based on available data extracted from Hormozgan Regional Water Company in GIS environment and after ranking and weighing them between 1 to 10 and superimposing them, the final vulnerability map of Aisin aquifer based on the DRASTIC model obtained Came. The GODS model, which is a very simple, practical, and experimental method for rapid assessment of groundwater pollution potential, also has four characteristics of aquifer type, unsaturated area, groundwater depth, and soil type, which were used in this study. The data used in the above models were extracted from 19 piezometric wells located in Aisin plain, which were available from 1987 to 2018. In the GODS method, like the DRASTIC method for each of the hydrogeological characteristics based on the available data, in the GIS environment, a map was prepared and ranked between 1 and 5, then after superimposing them, vulnerability maps of Aisin plain with GODS model obtained.Results and Discussion Since in the DRASTIC model index, the minimum possible vulnerability is 23 and the maximum is 230; However, the results of the final Aisin aquifer vulnerability map by the DRASTIC method, which is almost the most complete indicator for assessing groundwater vulnerability, Showed that the range of DRASTIC index values is between 59 and 163. The map of this index has been extracted in 6 categories from non-vulnerability to high vulnerability. Most of the area (33.66%), which covers the northeastern parts, from the center to the south of the plain, has low to moderate vulnerability. After that, moderate vulnerability (19.29%) was located in parts of the center and northwest, respectively, and also very low vulnerability (14.75%) in parts of the south and east, in parts of the east and south without vulnerability (29 11.11%), in the northern and part of the center and south with low vulnerability (10.15%) and finally, high vulnerability (10.84%) in the central and western parts were in the next categories in terms of area. In fact, according to the DRASTIC model, most of the aquifer sections of the Aisin plain were in low and medium to medium vulnerability classes in terms of vulnerability potential. Also, the results of the GODS model showed that the study area is divided into three parts including low, medium, and high vulnerability. Most of the Aisin plain (66.83%) is in the range of moderate vulnerability with ranks between 0.5 to 0.3 And the lowest level (11.31%) is related to the high vulnerability potential with a rank of 0.5 to 0.7.Conclusion In general, in both methods, the inherent vulnerability of the Aisin aquifer has been evaluated in low to high vulnerability ranges, but the extent of expansion of their vulnerability ranges has been different and the DRASTIC model of different vulnerability zones due to more characteristics and different weights based on these characteristics are different. Contamination is more accurately identified. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective In recent years, due to climate change and drought, as well as the lack of supervision in digging agricultural wells, many of the country's aquifers have been harvested improperly, which has led to a negative balance of these aquifers to the extent that, according to the Geological Survey, most of the country's plains have experienced a drop in groundwater levels. Today, the study, planning and planning to reduce the risks of natural hazards is one of the main issues of officials and planners of countries. One of the hazards that are less considered due to gradual performance is the phenomenon of subsidence, which in recent years due to increased use of important aquifers in the plains of the country has become a pervasive problem. In this research, an attempt has been made to investigate the possibility of subsidence and its possible dangers as a threat to human projects as well as rural settlements in the Ardabil plain.tpMaterials and Methods The study area of ​​Ardabil plain is located between the latitude of thirty-eight degrees and thirty minutes north latitude to thirty-eight degrees and thirty minutes and the longitude of east geography forty-eight degrees and fifteen minutes to forty-eight degrees and thirty-five minutes in the northwestern part of Ardabil province. To investigate the groundwater status of the plain, data from 38 observation wells prepared by the Ardabil Regional Water Organization and located at the plain level have been used. First, using 30-year statistics of 65 observation wells and GIS, a water potential drop map for the region was prepared. Then, using fuzzy Dematel model, experts' opinions were collected and modeled. This method is one of the conceptual methods for structuring decision problems. The Dematel technique is based on graph theory, and in this way we can divide the criteria into two groups of cause and effect criteria to gain a better understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship and finally be able to create a network of interrelationships. Finally, after creating the general relationship matrix and according to the defined threshold size, we create the final relationship matrix in which the number zero means no relationship and the number one means the relationship between two criteria. Using the final relations matrix, we conduct a survey of experts on the extent to which factors affect each other with respect to their interdependence. After the data was obtained from the relevant organizations, a database was created for the information in the ArcCatalog software environment, and then maps related to this data were created in ArcGIS software. After the weights of the different layers were obtained using the fuzzy network analysis method, they entered the ArcGIS software and multiplied the weights of each sub-criterion in the map we created for each layer and finally gathered the maps together to get a final map Came. The final map shows the areas of Ardabil plain that are classified in terms of subsidence risk and in five categories in terms of danger status were shown with color spectrum. Then, the area with severe water loss was selected and compared with the scattering map of deep wells. In the last step, using advanced and fuzzy hybrid models and network analysis in the software environment of GIS, each of the layers of sediment sensitivity and water level drop membership is determined and using fuzzy linear overlap, the area sensitivity map to subsidence in five classes of very sensitivity High, high sensitivity, medium sensitivity, low sensitivity and very low sensitivity were prepared. To prepare the final map of subsidence risk status in Ardabil plain, first the obtained weights for each sub-factor were multiplied in the fuzzy maps of that sub-factor and then these weighted maps were aggregated using the Raster Calculator tool. The final fuzzy map of subsidence risk assessment of Ardabil plain is changing with the color spectrum changes from blue, which represents the lowest, to red, which represents the highest. The blue color indicates low risk areas and the red color indicates high risk areas in terms of subsidence risk in Ardabil plain and villages located in this area.Results and Discussion After obtaining the initial plan to assess the subsidence risk status and areas at risk of subsidence in Ardabil plain, the final map to assess the status of Ardabil plain in terms of land subsidence risk has been prepared according to the weights and layers obtained. Since all the base layer maps were reclassified into five layers and the weight corresponding to each layer was given according to the condition of the layers, the final map was classified and weighted into five layers, which according to experts and professors is as follows; 1) Low risk areas, 2) Medium risk areas, 3) High risk, 4) Damaged areas, 5) Critical areas. Finally, using the final map of Ardabil plain subsidence risk assessment, as well as the ranking obtained from the opinions of relevant experts, the final map of Ardabil plain subsidence risk analysis was prepared. Also, the map of deep wells in Ardabil plain and its distribution in rural areas, it can be seen that the highest distribution and concentration of deep wells in the eastern part of the plain is in Wilkij e Markazi and Fooladloo e Shomali villages. This situation shows the scattering position of deep wells showing the proportionality of the scattering of deep wells in areas at risk of subsidence.Conclusion Wilkij e Markazi, Fooladloo e Shomali, and Fooladloo e Sharghi have the highest levels of vulnerability in terms of subsidence risk status. The critical situation of landslide risk is the highest in these three villages. Also, Kalkhoran and Aghbalagh Aqajan Khan villages are moving from a moderate to a vulnerable situation, which requires more care in managing and planning the water resources of these villages. Also, there is a strong relationship between the distribution of deep wells in the Ardabil plain and areas at high risk of subsidence. Also, according to the results obtained the groundwater status sub-criterion with a weight of 0.38 has the greatest impact on the subsidence risk of Ardabil plain. This weight shows the high impact of this sub-criterion by examining other layers related to groundwater status and population dispersion layer. Manuscript profile

        Background and ObjectiveAmong many natural hazards, landslides are one of the most widespread and destructive. Due to the high mountainous topography, tectonic activity, high seismicity, diverse geological and climatic conditions, basically, Iran has a natural condition for creating a wide range of landslides and these landslides annually cause both life loss and financial damage to the country. Since it is difficult to predict the timing of landslides, identifying susceptible areas to landslides, and zoning these areas based on potential risk are highly important. Therefore landslide-prone areas need to be identified in order to reduce such damage. In this respect, landslide susceptibility assessment can provide valuable information essential for hazard mitigation. The main goal of landslide susceptibility analysis is to identify dangerous and high-risk areas and thus reduce landslide damage through suitable mitigation measures. Since the exact prediction of landslides occurrence isn’t possible by human sciences, thus, we can prevent the damages of this phenomenon by identification of landslide susceptible areas and prioritizing them. Binalood Mountain in Khorasan Razavi Province, Due to its geological location, geomorphology, topography, climate, vegetation, has kinds of mass movement. The results of these studies can be used as fundamental information by environmental managers and planners. Landslide hazard zonation was challenged by several researchers in recent years. In order to provide landslide hazard, zonation maps various methods such as Fuzzy logic, statistic methods and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can be used. Since the early 1970s, many scientists have attempted to assess landslide hazards and produced hazard zonation maps portraying their spatial distribution by applying many different GIS-based methods. Different models and methods have been proposed to produce Landslide hazard zonation. The aim of this study is to develop and compare detailed landslide susceptibility maps (LSM) for Binalood Mountain, using Fuzzy and AHP methods in the framework of the GIS. Materials and Methods The study area is the northern and southern slopes of the Binalood Mountains that are located in the Khorasan Razavi Province. The present study area fallows under 36 ° 1' to 36 ° 15' north latitudes and 58° 38' to 59 ° 35' east longitudes. According to Geological, Geomorphologic, Hydrological, Climatic, Human and Environmental characteristics of the study area and using comparative studies and results of other researchers, 20 criteria and sub-criteria were identified to achieve the goals. The needed Layers of landslide hazard zonation were prepared using ArcGIS software. These layers are slope, aspect, altitude classes, geology, distance from the river, river density, distance from the road, road density, distance from the fault, fault density, morphological units, topographic indexes (stream power index (SPI), topographic wetness index (TWI) and slope length index (LS)), geomorphological indexes (topographic position index (TPI), topographic roughness index (TRI) and surface curvature index, land use, isothermal lines, and Rainfall lines. Thun, The landslide inventory map has been created in the study area. Subsequently, landslide susceptibility maps were produced using Fuzzy Logic and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) models. After preparing the layers, the next step was to assign weight values to the raster layers, and to the classes of each layer, respectively. This step was realized with the use of the AHP method. So, the landslide hazard zonation map of the study area was presented using weight exertion of factors in their layers and integration of them by Arc GIS software. In the Fuzzy method, after fuzzyizing the layers in the ArcGIS environment, the landslide risk zoning was performed using fuzzy gamma 0.8. For verification, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn and the areas under the curve (AUC) were calculated. Finally, the ratio of the percentage of landslides was in each zone to the percentage of the total area of the zone was calculated. Results and Discussion The results of weighting the parameters affecting the landslide using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) showed that geological, slope, and fault factors have the greatest impact on the occurrence of landslide risk in the study area, respectively. The class of very high and high susceptibility covers 47.8% of the total area in the landslide susceptibility map generated with the AHP model. Low and moderate susceptible classes make up 13.4 and 38.8% of the total area, respectively. According to the landslide susceptibility map based on the Fuzzy Method, 27.7% of the total area was determined to be very high and high susceptibility to landslide. Low and moderate susceptible classes constitute 56.8%, and 15.5% of the area, respectively. The AUC values were 0.817 and 0.752 for AHP and Fuzzy models and the training accuracy was 81.7 and 75.2%, respectively. It can be concluded that both models utilized in this study showed reasonably good accuracy in predicting the landslide susceptibility of the study area. Finally, the ratio of the percentage of landslides was ineach zone to the percentage of the total area of zone showed the NRi values in each susceptible class for the AHP model more than the Fuzzy method. The larger ratio in the AHP method indicates its better consistency than the Fuzzy method, implying more coverage of landslides in a smaller area by the AHP method. This result represents the better accuracy of the AHP method than the Fuzzy method in the landslide susceptibility map. Conclusion In this study, the most widely accepted models, AHP and Fuzzy were used for producing Landslide Susceptibility Map (LSM) and their performances were compared. The LSMs were divided into five landslide susceptibility classes. The performance of the resulting LSMs was verified by the ROC curves and Numerical Ratio (NRi). The results show that the AHP and Fuzzy models are successful estimators. The map produced by the AHP model exhibited a slightly better result for landslide susceptibility mapping in the study area. These two techniques may be characterized by incorporating a wide range of conditioning factors. Also, they can discriminate the causative factors for understanding the importance of each factor. The interpretation of the susceptibility map indicates that geological, slope, and fault play major roles in landslide occurrence and distribution in the study area. The landslide susceptibility maps like the one produced in this study should provide a valuable tool for the use of planners and engineers for reorganizing or planning new programs.

        In the present study, to investigate the occurrence of land subsidence in Isfahan plain, SNAP8.0 software and radar differential interferometry technique were used. For this purpose, after processing Sentinel-1A images in the period 2019-2015, rate and intensity subsidence maps were prepared in the desired period. Also, changes in groundwater water level in the period 2002-2018, as one of the geodetic factors affecting subsidence, were studied to match the points that have subsidence. Then the output of SNAP software was studied using ArcGIS10.8, with land use layers and average water level changes and Maps of mean subsidence changes, groundwater drop, standard deviation and time of maximum subsidence were prepared. The results show the occurrence of subsidence phenomenon in areas with groundwater decline with urban use, roads and agricultural lands with a maximum rate of 14.2- 20.8 cm in the years 2018-2019. The average change represents the maximum subsidence of 9.6 cm per year, in line with the satellite line of sight, in the urban area. Also, spatial analysis of subsidence hazards at strategic points showed that the study area needs to provide the necessary warnings for the occurrence of subsidence crisis on a larger scale in the future.

        Background and Objective North Karun watershed is one of the important sub-basins of the Great Karun River basin. In recent years, the occurrence of severe downstream floods in this basin has caused a lot of human and financial losses. Estimating the amount of runoff produced by rainfall is the main step in conducting a study on flood control and mitigation. Runoff estimation is one of the most important steps in the study of watershed hydrology for flood management, water resources management and soil conservation activities. Runoff is produced as a result of excess rainfall on soil infiltration and surface maintenance and depends on various factors such as physical characteristics of the basin, rainfall and infiltration. The rainfall-runoff relationship has been studied by scientists and researchers and many models have been proposed to simulate this process. One of the basic models in this field is the curved number method model that was proposed by the US Soil Conservation Service and was named the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number or SCS-CN. The SCS-CN model is one of the simple and empirical models in the field of rainfall-runoff that is widely used in estimating runoff height around the world. The curve number (CN) of each basin indicates the hydrological behaviour and runoff generation capacity of that basin during rainfall and its value is estimated from the standard table in which the soil properties with a hydrological factor that indicates the minimum infiltration rate in the long-wet state. It is the duration of the soil, it is expressed. Accordingly, the US Soil Conservation Service has divided all soils into four main groups, A, B, C and D, with high, medium, low and very low infiltration rates, respectively. Due to the high time consumed in calculating this method, traditionally and manually, researchers used remote sensing and geographical information systems technologies to calculate it. To do this, they designed an extension called ArcCN-Runoff that can be added to the GIS environment. The purpose of this study is to generate a curve mapping (CN) and estimate the runoff height in the North Karun Basin using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies and the SCS-CN method.Materials and Methods North Karun watershed is one of the most important watersheds in the country in providing water resources, which is located in the geographical position of 49o 35' to 51o 47' E longitude and 30 o 28' to 32 o 40' N latitude. This basin has an area of 23299.31 Km2, which is located in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Isfahan, Khuzestan and part of Fars province. In order to produce curve number maps and estimate runoff height, first land use maps were generated using a supervised classification method using Landsat 8 satellite images of OLI sensors related to 2017 and the maximum likelihood algorithm was obtained. Then, the soil layer and soil hydrological groups of the basin were prepared based on the global soil map produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the SCS standard table for different soil hydrological groups. By combining land use maps and soil hydrological groups with the Perform Intersect command in the ArcCN-Runoff GIS environment, a curved number (CN) map was generated and edited and finalized based on the SCS-CN table. Finally, by generating a spatial distribution map of precipitation by IDW method at the basin level, runoff height or excess precipitation height was obtained by the SCS-CN method. The final runoff height map was divided into five categories: very low, low, medium, high and very high.Results and Discussion The results showed that a large area of the basin has a slope of more than 30%. Slope can be considered the most important physiographic factor in runoff production in watersheds. According to the land use map, the highest level of use is related to the oak forests of Zagros and rangelands. Due to the type of oak forests that have low density and also poor pastures in the basin due to overgrazing, runoff production is high in these uses. The curve number map also indicates that the maximum and minimum curve number values are in basins 98 and zero. In areas with high curve numbers, the potential for runoff production is high and these areas are related to areas with poor vegetation in the basin. Areas with high curve numbers and high runoff production are mostly related to the calcareous formations of the basin, including the Bakhtiari and Asmari formations, which have formed the high altitudes of the basin, including the Dena Mountains. Also, areas with medium and low CN are mostly related to forest and pasture uses, in which the potential for runoff production is moderate. On the other hand, due to the fact that most of the precipitation in the basin heights is snow, there is an opportunity to penetrate into the soil and as a result, the amount of runoff production is less. The calcareous formations in the basin, which form most of the Zagros highlands, penetrate rainfall through pores and fractures and feed groundwater, which is why we often encounter a large number of springs in these areas. On the other hand, the results of the runoff map indicate that the Zagros heights, which have a high slope, play a major role in runoff production. These areas are mostly located in the southern and southeastern areas of the basin, as well as northwest of the basin.Conclusion A large area of the basin has the potential to produce moderate runoff, which can lead to flooding downstream of the basin. Therefore, it is necessary to implement conservation and watershed management measures in the branches and areas where the flow occurred. Due to the fact that the basis of calculations in preparing maps of curve number and runoff height are raster layers, each pixel of which has a value, the calculations are done and the results are much closer to reality and save time and money.

        In this study, suitable areas in the Shourab forest park were identified for intensive and extensive outdoor recreation using five ecological parameters (slope, aspect, height, soil and vegetative cover). The result showed that 46.447, 14.244, and 515.401 hectares of park area have the ability of class 1 extensive outdoor recreation potential, class 2 extensive outdoor recreation potential, and class 2 intensive outdoor recreation potential respectively. Besides it was determined that  one of the problems  caused  increasing rudeness in park nature was absence of attention to all effective factors (water resources and recreation facilities) in assigning to outdoor recreation potential of the park. Therefore questionnaire and oral interview were used for evaluation of visitor's suitable usage of outdoor recreation sites. In order to preparing of water resources and park facilities' map, all area related to   water resources and park facilities were identified and recorded using GPS. Result showed people usage of the park have not conformed to classification plan. It was also showed that outdoor recreation has a direct relation to water resources, facilities, and tourism charisma of the park. Therefore, these factors were intersected as positive informational layers with primary recreation capability map and a final recreation capability map was obtained based on those factors. The final results showed that despite the high efficiency of conventional method, due to the lack of consideration of all the factors affecting on outdoor recreation,  other information layers (for example water recourses and recreation facilities) are also required in addition to ecological factors. In the last stage according to plan of final outing power, the map of development possibility was prepared in the park. The results of these maps showed that based on spatial extent for promoting regional outing based on spaciousness there are seven and three properties for first and second degree focused classes respectively.

        Landscape includes a mosaic of landscape elements in a context of a major land use/cover. Much emphasis has been placed on developing methods to quantify landscape patterns in recent years. Landscape elements include various types, including urban areas and patches, which were used for change's identification in the current study. Any urban area has been considered a landscape patch and their patterns for the Gorgan city between the years 1987 and 2001 have been compared in this study. Number, shape and neighborhood metrics was the major groups of metrics calculated. To do so, urban areas were fed to Fargstats Software as patches. Comparison showed that development pattern in Gorgan city has led to the creation of larger and simpler patches with and less fractal dimension during the 14-years period of our study. In fact, urban growth was shown to be adhering to the previous urban patches. This is also visible to the spatial investigation of the largest patches (a complex of continues areas), such that, for example, two large patches in 1987 had been joined because of infill. Despite the tendency of urban growth around previous urban patches and in their vicinity, patches did not show a uniform distribution in the area, rather, they were irregular. This result is confirmed by the fact that the urban area has increased 2.1 times during the study period. Manuscript profile

        This study was carried out to determine the relative hazard zonation of the slope instabilities and landslide occurrence in Sepiddasht, Iran. The method of Artificial Neural Network with the multiple-layer percepteron structure and the back propagation learning algorithm were used. In order to study the stability of the slopes, the landslides of the region were initially identified and recorded using satellite images of TM and ETM+, aerial images of 1:50,000, and field surveys (year, 2014). The impact of each factor including slope, aspect, land use, elevation, lithology, precipitation, the distance from the fault road and drainage on the slope instabilities was estimated using the ArcGIS®10.1 software via combining the map of the factors influencing the landslide with the landslide distribution map. Then a proper structure (1-13-9) for the landslide hazard zonation of Sepiddasht region was obtained through training the artificial neural network by MATLAB software. Based on the results of the landslide hazard zonation, 0.18, 12.41, 14.09, 29.85, and 43.52 percent of the region were located in very low, low, medium, high, and very high risk classes respectively.

        The aim of this research is flooded hazard potential zonation of Baghan watershed using geographic information system (GIS) and Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method (FAHP). After identifying effective factors in flood hazard (slope, digital elevation model, permeability, lithology, infiltration, land use, vegetation cover density, precipitation, network drainage density, distance from the stream), criteria and subcriteria weight were calculated using pairwise comparisons and experts' comments as well as FAHP. Watershed flood hazard potential was zoned and finally, the watershed was categorized into five classes based on flood hazard risk using a fuzzy gamma operator. The results of flood hazard risk zonation indicate that classes 1, 2 and 3 are generally located in mountainous areas and include about 22% (203 km2) of the region and so it can be concluded that, the 22% part of runoff yield, watershed management projects in this region are in priority. Classes 4 and 5 have less flood hazard potential in comparison to class 1, 2 and 3 and are located in slopes and taluses in mountainous areas and cover about 78% (706 km2) of the region.

        The state of groundwater pollution in Torghabeh-Shandiz watershed of Khorasan County has become a major problem, particularly in respect of the increasing population, and the agricultural, industrial and commercial development. The present work attempts to interpret the groundwater vulnerability of this watershed using the DRASTIC model together with the geographic information system (GIS). The data which correspond to the seven parameters (depth to water level, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, the impact of vadose zone and hydraulic conductivity) of the DRASTIC model were collected and converted into thematic maps with GIS. The study showed that the DRASTIC index shows lies in the range of 68 to 225 which were classified into five zones, very low, low, moderate, high, and very high-risk zone of groundwater contamination. The DRASTIC map illustrates that an area of 15.9% is a very low vulnerability, 20.29% low vulnerability, 26.33% moderate vulnerability, 24.34% high vulnerability and 13.14% very high vulnerability in the study area. The river flows from the northeast region of the watershed allows more recharge of water, which may drain the fertilizers from the surrounding agricultural lands along with it to the groundwater and hence leads to groundwater vulnerability of this region. To check the reliability of the DRASTIC index map in the field condition, groundwater samples were collected for the analysis of nitrate (NO3) which is found as one of the pollutants in groundwater resulting due to use of fertilizers during agriculture. The presence of high nitrate concentration over high to moderate risk pollution zone in the study area validated satisfactorily. Manuscript profile

        The mean aerosols samples in three periods of ten stations were taken from Bushehr region, to characterize the spatial variability and concentration of As, Cd, Co, Fe, Ni, Pb and V. The geostatistics and geographic information system (GIS) techniques were applied, and the disjunctive kriging was used to map the spatial patterns of the seven heavy metals. Meanwhile, Principal component analysis (PCA) and correlation matrix (CA) were used for the data processing. The results of Nug/Sill ratios for the seven metals showed that spatial dependent is moderate (0.25-0.75), that indicative the effects of natural factors such as parent material and topography. Meanwhile, the disjunctive kriging technique was used to quantify their concentration distribution. Combined with the results of PCA, 7 heavy metals could be divided into 3 factors. D1 was the metals, i.e., As, Co, Ni, Pb, V. Cd was in D2, Fe in D3. This results show the concentrations of 7 heavy metals were mainly controlled by the external factors.

        In this study, we investigated the effect of agricultural land concentrations of heavy metals including Copper, Arsenic and Zinc and mapping of soil contamination potential the elements in the areas studied using the collected data, GIS, Geo-statistics and remote sensing were conducted. First, using 135 surface soils (0-20cm) classified random systematic sampling in the region area 7262 square kilometers were collected and total element concentrations, soil characteristics, including the pH and organic matters were measured. Interpolation for heavy metals concentrations were done by geo-statistics methods, and assisting location correlation analysis, interpolation suitable method was chosen using MAE and MBE function. For heavy metals concentration maps, Copper and Zinc, we used Ordinary Kriging and exponential model and for Arsenic Ordinary Kriging and Spherical models. For analyzing the metal's concentration distribution maps of pollution time series satellite images were used.  For this purpose, five time series of satellite images of IRSP6 sensor Awifs (6 March, 3 April, 27 April, 9 June, 18 July and 16 August) were prepared. Using conventional classification methods and advanced satellite imagery maps of Land Use in 2009 was prepared. Finally fuzzy classification method map due to having the higher kappa coefficient as a final land use map was selected. Site analysis of studied heavy metal interpolation maps assisted by GIS and remote sensing assistive showed that Copper and Zinc have geological and agricultural origins. And Arsenic has originated from bedrock, but agricultural activities according to excessive consumption of chemical fertilizers can increase most of these elements in soil. Manuscript profile

        Landslides are one of the most destructive phenomena of nature that cause damage to both property and life every year, therefore, landslide susceptibility zonation (LSZ) is necessary for planning future developmental activities. In this study, the operator of fuzzy logic in landslide hazard zonation has been used in the Chamsangar watershed. For study the stability of slopes in the Chamsang field, in first step the sliding point and subsequent distribution maps of landslide were prepared using satellite images and field excursions (recording the sliding points by GPS). The correlation level between sliding points and each effective factor in landslide occurrence including slope, aspect, landuse, elevation, lithology, rainfall, drainage and distance to road determined using frequency ratio model. The fuzzy values prepared by expert view and the membership functions appointed for all effective factors in ArcGIS®10.1environment. The Sum of Quality (QS) index used for evaluation and deviation of operators outputs which applied in estimation of sliding risk. Results show that Gama operator 0.9 with QS=0.554 is the more suitable than Fuzzy Algebraic Sum with QS=0.042 and Fuzzy Algebraic Product with QS=0.008 for prepare the landslide risk maps in Chamsangr field. According the zoning based on the gamma operator 0.9, the 13.39, 47.58, 32.7, 5.44, and 0.884 percent of the area is located in very low, low, medium, high and very high risk classes, respectively.

        In order to achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to obtain and adopt planning procedures based on Multi Criteria Evaluation of natural environment. Since biophysical (natural) environment has limited ecological capabilities for human use, ecological capability assessment, as an essence for environmental studies and with the aim of preventing existing crises, yields proper grounds for environmental planning. The analysis of land capability and sufficiency for urban development is one of the main categories with which urban planners deal. In this paper, by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) through the perspective of Multi Criteria Evaluation (MCE) Approach and within the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), ecological capability of the suburbs surrounding Tabriz city was assessed (natural and human in terms of 12 criteria) to examine the physical development of Tabriz city and final mapping of the region was provided. This mapping shows regions suitable for physical urban development of the city. The results and finding of this research were applied by urban planners. Manuscript profile

        The dust haze phenomenon is one of the most environmental challenges in the West and South-West of Iran. To detect the phenomenon of dust haze the images with a repeat in day and night, wide coverage and high spectral bands is needed therefore the images related to MODIS sensor is suitable. The purpose of this study is identifying sources producing dust haze entering in this region in 2011 by using visible bands and thermal bands of MODIS sensor and with the use of Ackermann index and synoptic analysis to identify the movement of dust haze from the origin to Iran By using 500 hectopascal geopotential height synoptic data, sea level pressure and 500 and 1000 hectopascal wind direction maps. Finally, its movement from source to Iran was monitored by using GIS and Spatial Analysis Tools. The results showed that source of the phenomena of dust haze entering the West and South West of the country is from Syria, Iraq and part of Saudi Arabia, which the major origin of dust haze is  north of Iraq and the border between Iraq and Syria. Combining the results of detection of dust haze and synoptic maps has optimized found the origin and mode of transmission of dust hazes and provides a more suitable prediction of the movement path of dust haze.

        Population growth, urban development and the need of new residential regions and resources for human food, enhanced land use changes all over the world. The aim of this study was detection of land use changes in the last 25 years in the county of Ardabil. In this research, changes in land use were investigated based on LandSat imagery interpretation in three time periods between, 1987, 1998 and 2010 using GIS and remote sensing techniques and statistical methods. The map of study region was then georeferenced using DGN after geometric and atmospheric correction. Sample points in each land use class were taken in sufficient number and of suitable distribution among the study area. Using supervised classification (maximum likelihood algorithm), the best band combination and the land use maps for the years 1987, 1998, and 2010 were produced. The accuracy of the produced land use maps using overall accuracy and Kappa statistic was approved. The results indicated that some irrigated farming, gardens, residential and industrial areas and degraded lands have increased between 1987 and 2010; and the area of some land uses have decreased such as forests, rangelands and dry farming areas during this period. According to the findings from this research on the period of 1987-1998, rangelands and forests decreased 10.20% and 0.5% respectively, but dry farming lands, irrigated farming lands, and the barrier lanes  have increased 5.62%, 1.8%, and 1.8% respectively. In the period of 1998-2010 rangelands, dry farming lands and forests have decreased 7.9%, 11.52% and 3.69% respectively, but irrigated farming lands have increased 1.2% and the barrier lands have also increased 17.7%. The kappa coefficient of land use maps was calculated 0.81, 0.87 and 0, 89 for the years 1987, 1998 and 2010 respectively. Manuscript profile

        Simulation of runoff resulted from any significant rainfall events can help to estimate the severity of floods. To protect watersheds, application of a model which is able to predict runoff at certain times and places is essential. Therefore, this study aimed to simulate runoff generation in upstream catchments of the Shahrake Behzisti as well as assessing the effect of implementation of vegetation management scenarios, using three relatively intense rainfall events occurred in recent years. The model of physically based Limburg soil erosion model (LISEM) within PCRaster GIS and programming language was applied in this study. In order to run the LISEM model, four basic raster maps of digital elevation model, landuse, soil texture and roads (impervious areas) were prepared. Digital elevation model map of the catchment was extracted from the Ultracam image of 1 m resolution within the ArcGIS environment. During this study, only two events on 2/11/2014 and 16/9/2015  led to runoff generation. Thus, the first event was used for calibration and the second one for validation of the model. Statistical comparison of the simulated and observed hydrographs of the rain events on 2/11/2014 and 16/9/2015 showed the correlation coefficients of 0.80 and 0.76 and Nash-Sutcliffe criteria of 0.8 and 0.5 respectively. The results of the simulation showed that the model was able to predict total runoff, peak discharge, runoff initiation time and time to peak discharge with relatively good performance. The results of the application of the LISEM model showed that runoff volume and peak discharge significantly decreased by implementation of vegetation management scenarios. Manuscript profile

        The Rivers are more important sources of surface water and fresh water in urban, agricultural and industrial. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of pollutant sources on the water quality of river Zayandehroud using Geographic information systems (GIS). In this study, physicochemical data (Discharge, Hardness, Cl, EC, pH), (October 2010 to May 2011) were studied in 7 stations of Zayandehroud. A land use map of the surrounding environment was then investigated with a buffer 0f 10 km from center of the river. Considering the location of monitoring stations the key factors, distance to industrial unit and land use percentage within the station buffet were calculated using GIS. Data moves to SPSS®19 for further statistical analysis. The results show that, at 451682.3 hectares of around buffer the river consisted; 40.9% agricultural and 8.1% urban development. We also found that the physicochemical parameters have a direct with the increase agricultural area around each station relationship. Also located industries in the area of Polkalleh to Chum stations such as south Isfahan refinery, have a significant relationship with water quality factors discussed in this study. So considering the protection importance of the Zayandehroud river, applying appropriate management on this river is essential, especially in the areas after the city. Implementation of appropriate treatment system for industrial wastewater, advised to farmers in the proper use of chemical fertilizers can be the appropriate solution. Manuscript profile

        Identifying and locating suitable areas for eco-tourism development, is one of the important issues of tourism planners. But the wide variety of options and parameters, variables uncertainty and long terms in environmental planning, causes the          decision-making becomes more complex. So multi-criteria decision-making methods can meet these challenges. Thus the aim of this study is to identify suitable areas for         eco-tourism in Kiamaky wildlife refuge using MCDM method Based on fuzzy logic in GIS. According to the effective criteria on the eco-tourism in this area; obtained from previous research and expert opinions, 15 criteria maps (climate, lithology, height from sea level, slope, aspect, land use and distance maps from residential area, road, river, police station, environmental guard station, sensitive habitats, shrine, spring and waterfall) are produced and classified as input. To determine the weights of criteria, opinions of experts in the form of Delphi Method were applied. The criteria matrix formed and the relative importance of all criteria was defined using the AHP method and pairwise comparison. Finally eco-tourism appropriate priority map was produced using Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) method and applying the index of the importance of each criterion to corresponding classified map. According to mentioned map, 15% and 34% of the area eligible for perfect and good for eco-tourism respectively, and 4% of the area are medium for this purpose.

        The assessment of groundwater quality in agricultural industry management is of particular importance. The decline in groundwater levels in plains due to overexploitation and drought creates many environmental problems. One of the most important of these problems is the unsuitability of groundwater quality and its undesirable effects on consumption. The aim of this research is to evaluate the quality of groundwater in Sirjan plain for agricultural use. In this study, the groundwater of Sirjan plain was classified based on 9 parameters: sulfate, bicarbonate, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sodium, total dissolved solids, and electrical conductivity. Then, a fuzzy method was used to homogenize each of the prepared layers. In order to prepare zoning maps, the method of average distance image was used for weighting the layers and preparing the final water quality map, the hierarchical process analysis method was used. The results showed that recent droughts, reduced rainfall, and extraction from groundwater sources have led to an increase in EC values from the standard value with an average of 575.6820 microsiemens and an increase in TDS values from the standard value with an average of 57.3891 milligrams per liter. Also, the water quality of approximately 55% of the study area is suitable for agriculture, and based on the total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity water quality diagrams, their concentration has made about 45% of the plain areas in the eastern and central parts unsuitable. In general, the results confirm the relationship between the examined elements in such a way that some of these elements have had a significant impact on groundwater quality Manuscript profile

        Every year, due to the penetration of cyclone and different air masses and also local conditions, the resultingflood phenomena causes extreme damage to the natural and economical resources. Sometimes, due to the floodwaves or high density of residual materials, hydrometric stations are damaged and consequently the recordeddata do not match to real data. Considering the lack of hydrometrical stations in most of the small watersheds,determination of runoff and maximum flood discharge requires a suitable method to estimate runoff and peakflow which to be used in flood and erosion control management plans. In this study empirical CN method isused.In this study, a principle of work method is applying of statistical data (5686 statistics year of climatologystations Robate ,Ghare bil, Cheshmekhan, Hagholkhaje, Dasht, Dashte shad, tangrah,Ghojmaz,Til abad,pishkamar, Galikesh and station hydrometric Tnagrah).

        The purpose of this study was to provide a zoning map of susceptible areas to Fusarium head blight disease of wheat ear; the obtained model was compared by fuzzy logic method with the zonation map obtained from reports of Plant Protection Research stations in Golestan province. For this purpose, the average of humidity, temperature and precipitation parameters were determined for 45 days in autumn wheat growth period in the stage 65 of the Zadox scale. According to the opinion of plant pathologists and the time of occurrence of Fusarium head blight in Golestan province, preparation of zoning maps was determined through early-April to mid-May period in three days intervals. A total of 15 zoning maps were created and susceptible areas to disease were identified in this model. Zoning was classified into four categories: safe (0-25%), low risk (26-50%), hazard (51-75%) and high risk (76-100%).Validation of the results was admitted by Kappa coefficient method. The results showed that if the spikes were in the susceptible growth stage, the incidence and development of the disease would be predictable from early-April to early-May in the determined areas with a validation of 76%. The symptoms of the disease are not recognizable in the spikes during the mentioned period. The results of this study can be helpful for researcher and related experts in forecasting the disease and decision making of disease management at the best time. Manuscript profile

          Determining the per capita green space depends largely on bioclimatic characteristics of the region and the city. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development studies, per capita urban green spaces in cities between 7 to 12 square meters per person for leisure, play, and recreation. Today usually optimal balance between green space and open areas between urban networks and natural patterns are seen less land. This may cause certain global environmental problems such as formation of urban heat islands Green space plays a decisive role. The city of Hafsjand is one of the cities that does not have the proper distribution of green space, and some of its neighborhoods lack green space. In order to determine the optimal location for creating green space to the principles of centralization, hierarchy and follow access. After collecting the location data and maps and a database in GIS environment Large and Small fuzzy functions and Boolean functions of each standardized criterion. With appropriate weighting and overlapping the layers of phase, phase modulation was conducted and it was found appropriate places Finally grounds that they are very good degree of appropriateness have been selected to create green space.

        This research attempts to select the suitable areas for tourism development using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and Ecological capability evaluation. It regulates the relationship between socio-economic impacts and land use changes to monitor the sustainable development and determines the potential or types of use that land can naturally have. In this research, in order to identify the environmental potential of Shahrood County for tourism, GIS as the best suitable technique for land evaluation and site feasibility was used along with Index Overlaying (IO). Thus by identifying the ecological resources of the region, in a scale of 1:250000, map layer information was dispatched to the ArcGIS to overlay. This research was done in 6 stages. After preparing the slope, aspect and elevation layers, they were overlaid in ArcGIS and the landform layer was produced. Then, the overlaying of landform, land use, soil, vegetation and wildlife layers resulted in the final environmental units. After that, the ecological models of extensive and intensive tourism in Iran were used for comparison and analysis. According to the results, the study area has high potential for tourism. The suitable area for intensive outdoor recreation encompassed 68.8% of the area associated with class 1 and 19.1% with class 2; and extensive outdoor recreation included 93.2% class 1 and 5.3% class 2. In addition to this, 13.6% of study area was allocated to conservation because no part of this area is suitable for tourism activities. In the end, appropriate activities for each zone are recommended. Manuscript profile

Various variables are involved in determining sustainable agricultural development. A separate comparison of each variable changes the order of each city in the table. Therefore, in this study, using census statistics from 1380 to 1393, population censuses and housing in this period for the studied areas (South Khorasan, Iran), 60 Indicators, were divided into five major groups of agriculture resources, agriculture development, environment, rural societies, and education. The studied variables were presented and analyzed using a relative advantage and combined method insignificant factors. In the end, by using the GIS, the level of the province's cities was shown for sustainable development of the spatial analysis and the status of each of these provinces was determined in terms of sustainable agricultural development. Finally, it was shown in 6 classes (high stability, moderate stability, poor stability, poor instability, moderate instability, and high instability). In general, it can be stated that the city of Qaenat is more stable in agriculture than any other agricultural land and Ferdows is in the worst case. Manuscript profile

Important software is ENVI 5.3, ARC.GIS10.5 and Terrset. . The results show that over the years studied, the area of horticultural, waste land has declined, and residential and human-made land use has increased. It was 2855094 square meters in 2009 and 2429144 square meters in 2019, following a downward trend. Residential and man-made land in 1999 was 360623 square meters, in 2009 it was 1264976 square meters and in 2019 it was 2495357 square meters, indicating a significant increase. . The change detection revealed that most land use conversions in 1999-2009 were related to conversion of arable land to wastewater by about 20% and from 2009 to 2019 related to conversion of arable land into residential land. With about 16%. Survey results show that in the first 10 years, about 20% of the horticultural land has become waste land and in the second 10 years about 7% of the land has become residential and human-made. Validation of the model with a kappa coefficient of 0.76 indicates that the model may have weaknesses but has acceptable ability to predict changes in the region. Manuscript profile

        The limitation and scarcity of groundwater resources in Darab Fars plain has caused this plain to be in a critical situation and in the forbidden group. With proper management, the capacity of available surface and groundwater resources can be well identified and studied to make a comprehensive plan for their proper use. The use of GIS along with observational data leads to easy and systematic estimation of groundwater recharge areas. The purpose of this study is to identify the potential of groundwater resources using AHP model and fuzzy functions in GIS environment. To assess the potential of groundwater resources, 10 geological criteria, fault density, altitude, slope, land use, soil, geomorphology, precipitation, drainage density and distance from rivers were studied and analyzed. The layers were prepared in a GIS environment and then the potential of groundwater resources was modeled using fuzzy logic functions. The results showed that the use of 0.98 gamma showed more favorable results than other numbers. Areas with high groundwater potential were determined with high accuracy. To validate the model, exploitation wells in the region have been used. About 63.62 percent of this type of wells are located in areas with good and very good potential. Areas with good and very good potential correspond to the terrace reserves, alluviums and sediments of the fourth period and have a low slope (0-5 degrees). About 31 percent of the watershed is in two categories of good and very good potential. Manuscript profile

        Selecting a location is a very important decision for firms because they are costly and difficult to reverse. A poor choice of location might result in excessive transportation costs, loss of qualified labor, competitive advantage or some similar condition that would be detrimental to operations.This paper proposed integration between MCDM model represented by ANP with GIS to propose the best location for construction of a new bank branch and then using maximal covering location problem to select branches that the maximum demand might be reached within a pre-specified target travel time. Bank branch location is one of the most significant strategic issues in the competitive market. In this paper, a Geographic Information System (GIS) based model for locating suitable sites is presented to make new branches, and then maximal covering location problem (MCLP) is used to select branches such that the maximum demand might be reached within a pre-specified target travel time. The model was implemented for Mehr Eqtesad bank in Arak city, Iran. In the future research, it is recommended to study reconstruction of bank branches. Moreover, applying this model on more complex problems is a challenging area for future studies. Manuscript profile

        Swarm intelligence is one of the new growing methods that is considered in artificial intelligence as a function of the social interaction of components. The Basics of swarm intelligence are based on the study of the behavior of social organisms such as some insects (bees, ants, termites) or even humans. The issue of using meta-heuristic methods for application in hybrid optimization problems is a rapidly growing field of research. This is due to the importance of hybrid optimization issues in the world of industry and science. In recent years, one of the most important and promising researches has been "supra-innovative methods derived from nature", which has had very good results in solving problems of combined problems. Meta-heuristic algorithms are used to solve a problem when, as the size of the problem increases dramatically, so-called NP-hard problems. One of the most widely used meta-innovative methods in this field is the ant colony optimization algorithm, which is used today in solving the problems of spatial resource allocation, routing, and location in GIS environments. In this research, while examining the ant colony algorithm, its expression and parameters required for use in the GIS environment are discussed. The ability of algorithms based on food search in the ant colony algorithm is significantly dependent on the optimal determination of the parameters in these algorithms. Manuscript profile

        From childhood, human destiny has been intertwined with the environment and the surrounding space. Many educators believe that the personality of every human being is formed in the first 6 years of his life. On the other hand, the expansion of vertical constructions and the use of minimal space to create houses today do not give the opportunity to build yards and safe alleys for children's physical activities (such as running, playing, exercising, etc.). It is in this context that the role of public green space in the city for adults, especially children, becomes more prominent. Therefore, by examining the needs and problems that children face in urban environments, urban space designers can plan and design appropriate to provide favorable conditions for the physical, mental, emotional and social development of children and the flourishing of their talents and interests. Security and be actively present. However, the problem of lack of green space and its inappropriate distribution can be seen in many cities in Iran. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of water supply and dry air. The city of Semnan, as one of the desert cities with special climatic conditions, needs a favorable urban green space. In the present study, which is written in an applied type and based on a research-analytical method, data collection has been done in the form of documents (library) and field. A questionnaire was prepared to examine the research indicators and distributed among different sections of society. Then, using GIS and analysis, the significance coefficient was assigned to each of the indicators. Finally, according to the research formula of the study proposed by Mr. Kambiz Bahram Soltani, the proposed per capita amount for the use of green space in the city of Semnan due to unfavorable climatic conditions, 28 square meters was proposed. The result of the research shows that the city of Semnan, considering the climatic conditions, is far from the appropriate per capita research proposal. Finally, solutions to improve green space are suggested. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to locate windbreaks in Shahrood city with respect to climatic zoning and thermal comfort. This research is applied in terms of purpose. First, by examining the theoretical foundations, the initial list of indicators affecting the location of windbreaks was prepared and reviewed and approved by Delphi fan. Then, in order to find areas prone to windbreak, a hybrid model was used. Also, the Olegi model was used to determine the thermal comfort in Shahrood and to identify suitable times for using windbreaks. This model incorporates the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique and the Geographic Information System (GIS). Tools used included ArcGIS software, version 9.3 and Expert Choice software, version 2004. Paired comparison method was used to weight the indicators and zones. Six indicators of sundial, wind, altitude, temperature, relative humidity and rainfall were identified for windbreak location. Relative humidity index with a weight of 0.38 had the highest and height index with a weight of 0.154 had the lowest score. The months of May and June are in the zone of thermal comfort and there are times when windbreaks will not be very useful in Shahrood city. On the other hand, July, August and September due to high temperatures and December, January, February and March due to high cold are good times to use windbreaks. Finally, the layer related to each indicator was prepared and drawn for Shahrood city. The use of hierarchical analysis method combined with GIS and layer superimposing method makes it possible to identify and determine the optimal location for a variety of uses in a wide geographical area.

        The rapid growth of population and urbanization in recent decades has created many problems in human daily life. One of the important issues in this connection is urban transportation, especially public transportation, and it is of great interest today. Studying the effective factors and evaluating the location of subway stations is one of the important and necessary issues in the urban context. The importance and prestige of any city depends on its city services. The more these services and facilities are at an ideal level, the more comfortable the conditions are for the citizens' lives and the more the satisfaction of the citizens, which is one of the most important urban services of public transportation, especially the urban subway. Accordingly, the scientific goal of this research is to use GIS analysis to identify service areas and use multi-criteria decision models to locate new stations. This research has been carried out through several steps, including identifying variables, preparing standard criteria maps, obtaining the weight of layers, applying the weight of layers, and fuzzy overlapping of layers. Analytical Network Process (ANP) model was used to weight the criteria. In the results of weighting, the distance from the fault, the distance from the parking lot, and the population without cars had the greatest impact on positioning. Finally, suitable places for the construction of the metro station were suggested. Manuscript profile

This research is cross-sectional in terms of execution time and applied in terms of outputs, and is descriptive-analytical and comparative in terms of analysis. And the youth of Tehran, including areas 13-8-7-4. It also includes 48 sports complexes. Which was examined as a whole number. For this purpose, statistical data of 5 active stations in the study area including: course stations, crisis headquarters, petals, victory and Aqdasiyeh in the period from the beginning of April 1399 to the beginning of April 1401, were collected and reviewed. At first, the geographical location of pollutant measuring stations was determined and entered the GIS environment and became a shape file. Then, the research model was drawn using structural equations.Then, through the IO technique, the location layer of sports complexes and the zoning layers of pollutants were superimposed and maps were prepared and produced. The findings showed that most of the sports spaces overlap with polluting areas. On the other hand, the proposed model of sports space on the environment was sufficiently appropriate and showed the impact of sports space on the urban environment. The general public is concerned about environmental issues through sports, so that by implementing green sports, we can take a constructive step towards minimizing the damage to the environment.

        Road accidents are one of the events that have caused the most loss of life in recent years compared to accidents such as floods, earthquakes, etc. in our country. Currently, we are witnessing the death or injury of some people in these accidents every day. Various factors are involved in these accidents, one of which is the insecurity of the roads and the existence of problems in them. In this regard, if complete information about unsafe and accident-prone roads is available and necessary and sufficient measures are taken to fix the problems, the number of accidents will definitely decrease; Therefore, collecting accident data and other information related to the points that are prone to accidents is a very important to reduce accidents and improve road safety. One of the ways to obtain comprehensive and up-to-date information is to use Volunteered Geospatial Data (VGI). Based on this method, people provide the system with their data collected for a specific purpose. After VGI has been collected, sharing this data requires a system in the form of a web-based application so that users can share information about incidents or hazards on the road. OSM is one of the appropriate and cost-effective geo-web portals for planning in times of crisis. Therefore, in this research, OSM was investigated and used along with VGI to investigate the occurrence of accidents in Iran. In this research, the functionality of the OSM in terms of geographic data regarding accidents and unsafe roads has been investigated. Four spatial data recording methods were examined and finally the Editing with iD method was evaluated as more effective. The obtained results show the efficiency of OSM in registering voluntary geographic information related to accidents. Manuscript profile

        Choosing the right place to build a new shopping center is a multi-criteria decision-making problem that involves different people and opinions. In this research, geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria decision-making models have been used to perform some stages of spatial analysis, and then the development of a group decision support system for aggregating and selecting the final alternative has been discussed. A two-step method was proposed in this research to create limited decision-making options. In the first stage, creating standard criteria maps including five items with spatial analysis and normalization was done in ArcGIS software. According to the studies, the weight of each criterion was determined and the weighted overlapping of the layers was done. After applying the limiting options, six areas were determined to perform web-based location selection. In the second stage, a group spatial decision support system was developed. Using Visual Studio environment and C# programming language and .NET technology, a website was designed for the participation of experts in this field. In the architecture of this system, ASPMap technology, including a set of controls and map components, and location-based tools, was embedded on the server side of the program. User weighting of the criteria was done in the forms designed by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). With the help of stored procedures in a SQL Server database, the average value of each of the selected points is calculated online based on the opinions of the group. Finally, the point that had the highest value in the average of the opinions of different users was introduced as the best place to build a shopping center. The research results showed that the proposed method has high flexibility, speed, and ease in applying group opinions. Manuscript profile

        Outsourcing, as one of the tools for developing organizations and improving productivity in the form of downsizing, has attracted the attention of managers and officials of organizations and has been implemented in different ways. Geographic information. The current research is a mixed qualitative and quantitative type. It is descriptive-correlation in terms of type and applied in terms of purpose, which was conducted in the form of a survey. In the qualitative part, geographic information system (GIS) software was used to map the distribution of sports places. In the qualitative part, the statistical population is 30 sports complexes (indoor and outdoor) from the sports places of Semnan city. Also, to check the relationships between the research variables, 224 people voluntarily answered the researcher-made questionnaire, whose validity and reliability had already been checked. Structural modeling and measurement of multiple relationships between variables (smart pls software) were used to investigate and determine the extent of relationships between variables. The results of the survey showed that the distribution of sports spaces in the north and center of Semnan city is more than other parts, the per capita sports space of Semnan city in Semnan province ranks first and the area of sports spaces ranks second after Shahroud. Taekwondo, football and gymnastics are the sports priorities in Semnan city, and in total, the relationships between the variables showed that causal conditions and background conditions are effective on the outsourcing of sports facilities. It is suggested to the trustees of sports organizations to prevent parallel work with an inter-organizational division of work, so that in this way, sports organizations in a dynamic, complex and fast world can outsource sports venues to experienced people. to prevent the negative results of outsourcing and on the other hand to cause better financial performance of outsourcing.

        In recent decades, we have witnessed an increase in the population of the cities of the country; this increase in population in cities has caused the need for more day-to-day services. Perhaps there are not many service centers in a city, but what matters is the optimal distribution of these centers. Centers of service are one of the service centers that play a major role in the municipality and the guarantor of greater safety for human life. The rapid and timely access of firefighting vehicles to the accident site is very important because the timely delivery of these vehicles to the accident site causes less damage, on the other hand, when it comes to reaching the accident site, the optimal distribution of fire stations is returned. In order to assess the current status of fire stations in relation to fire accidents, the city of Kazeroun was selected as a case study in this study. Then, using GIS functions, network analysis and Tisen polygon analysis, the status of the fire stations in the city of Kazeroun After identifying the inappropriate distribution of these stations using the AHP model and overlapping of indices in the GIS software environment, a suitable location for the fire stations in the city of Kazeroon was identified. The method of this research is descriptive-analytic. The required information was obtained through field observation, studying the plans in relation to the city of Kahrizerun and the map of 2000/1 of this city. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective:As the biggest metropolis of Iran, Tehran is among the most polluted cities of the world. Due to the detrimental effects of air pollution on health and environment, determining the exact pollutant and areas of pollution is necessary. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of MODIS data. Methods:This study measure particulate matter (particle pollution) in urban areas and make air quality maps using these data and the ground data. Data related to the pollutants pm10, o3, co, so2,pm2.5 in 1394 using simple kriging method as a method of  ground statistics in different modes were evaluated and maps of pollutants levels were drawn. In addition, satellite images of the first level and second level data of this sensor for qualitative and quantitative analysis of particulate matter was used in large areas. Then, using the Normalized Difference dust Index (NDDI) related to the first level data and parameters such as optical depth and Angstrom view related to the second level data, their correlation and RMSE with ground data related to the pollutant PM10was calculated. Findings:Results indicate that there was proper correlation between satellite images parameters and ground measurements. Discussion and Conclusion: This correlation indicates the images ability of this sensor to detect atmospheric dust. Also, in this study the role of meteorological parameters influencing air pollution was investigated and results indicate that the dominant pollutant index in the year94, was the particulate matter pm2—.5and PM10.Continuous stability of weather condition is among the effective factors that increase the density of pollutants that leads to the pollutants accumulation.     Manuscript profile

        Mian Kouh area of Ardal County due to high mountains, deep valleys, small plains and being in Nomads routes has been considered by humans from the past. Because of the importance of Elamite period in this region and since the period remains unknown in East mountainous areas of Khuzestan, knowing about settlement patterns and the impact of the environment on the formation and distribution Elamite sites is essential. During the three seasons survey in this area, in 1387 to 1390, 78 Elamite site was identified and recorded. The goal of this article is to study the environmental factors and their roles on shaping the human habitat spatial in Elamite period. For survey and statistical analysis of the effect of environmental factors on Elamite settlements we used some factors such as altitude, slope, distance from river and distance from communication routs in the area. To find the relationship of each site with another one we divided them, according to based map, into several classes and then we obtained the correlation of sites with each class.On this basis, for each environmental factor a map (GIS) was made and by outputs of this map, statistical analysis of each environmental factor and its role in understanding the settlement patterns in this area was done. Distance from water sources is one of the most important environmental factors in formation of Elamite settlement in the area, almost always all the sites had a suitable distance from the water sources. Other iimportant factors are distance from the path and slope direction. Manuscript profile

        Parasitic infestation of breeding sheep can cause weight loss, production loss and condemnation of edible organs at slaughter. This study was designed to evaluate gastrointestinal parasitic infections in sheep of Sistan region. Fecal samples from 395 sheep were collected randomly. Coordinates of the sampling locations were recorded using a GPS device. Fecal tests were conducted using the Clayton-Lane floatation method. In this study only cestode eggs of the genus Moniezia and protozoan oocysts of the genus Eimeria were found in the faeces. Prevalence of Moniezia was 21 percent (83 cases) and prevalence of Eimeria was 39 percent (154 cases). There was no nematode or trematode eggs in the selected fecal samples. Chi-square test showed that there was no significant difference between the prevalence of Moniezia in cold and warm seasons but the prevalence of Eimeria in the warm season was significantly greater than the cold season (p < /em>=0.008). The results showed that gastrointestinal parasitic fauna of sheep in Sistan region is different from other regions of the country. This may be due to hot and dry weather of Sistan. In addition, the 120 days' winds of Sistan displace a large volume of soil in this region that can cause scattering of sheep stool in the desert, preventing completion of the life cycle of parasites.

        Planning to achieve sustainable development by using the evaluation of ecological capacity in order to choose the best places for development, is a new approach that nowadays, has attracted the attention of urban and regional planners and is considered as an important factor to achieve it. In this research, using the integration of network analysis process and geographic information system, the ecological potential of urban development in Shabestar city has been evaluated in order to determine the suitable areas for this purpose. In order to achieve the goal, first the effective criteria in urban development were identified according to the research conducted and experts' opinions were collected through the Delphi method, and finally 7 criteria and 11 sub-criteria were selected. Then, using the pairwise comparison method, the importance of the criteria was determined relative to each other, and the criteria were weighted using the network analysis process. Finally, the information layers needed in the GIS environment were applied to them based on the fuzzy logic of valuation and the obtained weights, and the ecological power map was obtained using the weighted superimposition of the layers. The results obtained from the research show that 28% of the area of Shabestar city has completely adequate capacity, 24% has adequate capacity, which indicates the high capacity of the region for development. These areas mainly include the southern part of the city, which extends from east to west. On the other hand, only 14% of the area is completely unsuitable and 17% is designated as unsuitable, which includes the northern heights of the city. Based on these matters and according to the final classification map, it can be concluded that the favorable areas for the future physical development of Shabestar city are mostly in the southern part of this city.

        Since the most basic needs of earthquake victims is to have a shelter and that after the earthquake, we can’t quickly provide suitable places for earthquake victims, before the occurrence of such crises, we should provide appropriate places in terms of (urban accessibility, security, avoidance of risk prone areas, etc.) for such victims. Therefore, the present study is to predict the best places for temporary housing of victims of the potential earthquake in the city of Isfahan. The type of this research is practical and the method of it is analytical documentary. In this study, by using basic standards of compatible and incompatible applications, accessibility and density of population and traffic by using the method of network analysis (AHP) and the use of fuzzy logic, standards set by the experts were measured and finally by the fuzzy analysts of geographic information system (GIS) were overlapped on weight. The results of this study indicate that parts of the area with sufficient open spaces and at the same time compatible with surrounding land uses have relatively better potential for establishment of victims. In return, regions such as the northern parts of the city due to the lack of rescue and rehabilitation uses and absence of adequate and valuable planning space have the least possible capacity of planning for temporary housing of earthquake victims.

        The use of wind power plants is considered as one of the most important ways of generating electricity using renewable energies. The environmental impact of the environment is low compared to other methods and the potential for extensive exploitation, including the benefits of using wind energy in electricity production. In this regard, it is necessary to find the optimal location for deploying equipment and facilities to exploit existing and potential potentials. The purpose of this research is wind power plants site selection in Fars province using AHP and ranking the spatial options using the Vikor method. In this study, we tried to prioritize the location of wind power plants based on effective technical, environmental and socioeconomic measures using the AHP decision making model. At first, the required data were collected and prepared in the GIS environment. Then, using AHP method, the two criteria were compared and then weighted, and finally, using the Vikor method, the priority was drawn between the final locations. The results of this research show that among the criteria in the research, the technical criteria (wind speed, wind stability and wind density) are more important and have a higher weight (0.731), and the wind speed 0.594) is the most important factor. The results of the Vikor model showed that the northern and eastern regions of the Fars province have a good potential for wind energy. Abadeh, Eqlid and Neyriz are the right places to build a wind power plant in other parts of the province. Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of this research is to analyze the process of land use change and evaluate the opportunities and obstacles to the progress and growth of Zabol city. For this purpose, ETM, TIRS and OLI Landsat 5,7 and 8 satellite images were selected for the period of 1395-1365.Then the indicators were extracted in two groups of internal and external factors according to Delphi experts.The results showed that in Zabol City most land use changes were made in the agricultural land area due to population increase and the need for housing and other urban needs. So, during the29 years of study, the lands constructed from 2578.10hectares in1365 reached 3419.92 hectares in1394.Also,the results of the Heldron model in Zabol City showed that around85% of the city's physical growth in the years 1365- 1394 was related to population growth and15% growth,related to the horizontal and sparse growth of the city, which reduced the density Gross population and an increase in per capita gross urban land. Zabol city was weak in terms of internal and external factors, but its severity was higher in external factors,but due to serious threats,Zabol city was in weak condition and its strategy was defensive. Thus, it can be said that the development of Zabol in the year1394-1365 is unbalanced, which indicates the landless changes in agricultural lands that need to guide,grow and develop the city with desirable programs.In other words,in addition to meeting the requirements of housing and other services needed by cities,they would prevent unnecessary construction.

        High construction and demographic congestions, low quality of buildings in the body of communication networks and high degree of surrounding and so on lead to loss of sustainability of living environments and an increase in the number of human waste and financial damages in cases of crisis, especially earthquakes. This thesis is basically aimed at identifying the vulnerable places toward natural disasters as well as safe places at the time of occurrence of crisis for temporary residence and analyzing the role of effective factors in vulnerability of urban zones against earthquake.In this study, 7 indices, namely access to healthcare centers, degree of surrounding, construction congestion, demographic congestion, land usage, building longevity and building quality have been adopted, and vulnerability of the zones against earthquake was examined by means of GIS. Results suggest that old textures of Nasimshahr and body of the passages with high construction and demographic congestions, building low quality, too much distance from relief centers vis-à-vis other bodies and high degree of surrounding are highly vulnerable and will therefore have worse condition in crises. Among the zones, initial core of formation of Nasimshahr is the worst in terms of vulnerability and should be prioritized for crisis management in planning.Thus, 70% of residential textures of Nasimshahr are severely vulnerable; almost 20% of them lies within vulnerable limit, and only 10% lies within the less vulnerable limit. Therefore, the research hypothesis concerning vulnerability of the residential textures and variation of the regional vulnerability due to such characteristics as passage width,congestion,material applied in the buildings,against natural disasters is verified.

        The current research seeks to zoning Hashtrood city against flood risk. In this study, the effective factors for causing flood risk in the region were first identified through field investigations, study of sources and survey of experts' opinions. Then, the information layers were prepared by the geographic information system, and the evaluation and standardization of benchmark maps were done together using the fuzzy method. In the next step, the investigated factors were examined in the form of CRITIC weighting, and finally, the final analysis and modeling was done using the MARCOS method as one of the multi-criteria decision-making analysis methods. The results of the present research showed that the factors of altitude, slope, geology and precipitation respectively; With a weighting factor of 0.150, 0.143, 0.139 and 0.133, they are the most important causes of floods in Hashtrood city. In addition, 514.06 and 150.95 square kilometers, respectively, of the area of the area, are in the very high risk class, which indicates the potential of this city for floods. According to the validation results, the area under the ROC curve was calculated as 0.89 for the Marcus method, and therefore, the accuracy of this method is excellent. The map of vulnerable areas resulting from the current research can be effective as a valuable input for decision makers in the process of implementing emergency plans as well as long-term flood reduction management options.

        The purpose of this study was to estimate the level of deforestation in Astara county over a 24 year period and to prioritize the effective factors on deforestation in the area. For this purpose, the forest cover map of the study area for the years 1987 and 2011 was prepared and compared using Landsat 8 satellite TM images. In this study, 100 training samples for two classes of forest and non-forest were used and the images were classified according to the maximum probability method. The physiographic factors map of slope, direction, elevation and human factors of distance from road and distance from residential areas were also obtained using digital elevation model (DEM) and related objects map. Existing maps were matched and zoning map of destruction risk of the area prepared in GIS environment and finally correlation between levels of destruction and factors affecting the destruction were taken. The results showed that the forest area of the study area decreased over the 5744 hectares during 24 years. Distance from residential areas and distance from the roads were had the most correlation with the level of destruction. The direction and altitude factors had no significant relationship with degradation but slope had a moderate effect on degradation. As a result, human factors were identified as the main causes of deforestation in the region. Therefore, the restoration and protection of forests in the region should be prioritized through the control of human-made areas. Manuscript profile

        .floods are known as one of the most important natural disasters. In practice, floods are one of the most devastating weather disasters in the world, both in terms of casualties and financial losses. The purpose of this study is to measure and evaluate the changes in flood zones using the weighting technique in the GIS environment. The method of the present study, according to the nature of the problem and the subject under study, is descriptive-analytical and applied studies. With emphasis on quantitative methods, in the present study, changes in flood zones in Gorganrood watershed based on the use of meteorological station information (synoptic) with a 30-year statistical period (1989 to 2018), land use, vegetation, topographic moisture index Slope, altitude, land lithology, distance from river, river density, erosion, soil science, runoff, simulated precipitation data from LARS-WG model have been modeled and estimated. The general kriging method with the lowest mean estimation error (0.004) and the square root mean error of 82.23 is the best method for interpolation in this study. Also, in combining fuzzy analysis methods with hierarchy to determine the expected estimate, both methods had higher estimates than expected. Findings showed that 800 mm sub-basin of Normab basin in the central part of Maderso, Yale Cheshmeh and Qarnaveh basins in the northeast of Gorganrood watershed with the amount of 500 to 700 mm and the northern parts of Mohammadabad and Ghorchai basins with the amount of 300 mm.

        Trying to achieve a national land use planning and productivity is a principle and in proportion of environmental features and natural resource data, this process development is important. The sustainable development is a comprehensive concept which is involved in all aspects of human life. And the implementation of sustainable development models requires extensive changes in both national and international policies. In some part our country the utilization of land is not based on ecological zone. Specially in agricultural land so the aim of this paper is to show the comparison of existing land use and watershed ecological zone in Mahneshan in Zanjan province. Therefore, to analyze the possibilities and of natural basin by creating a database of geographic. Date extracted from the report of basic studies and classification in order to show the location of the ecological resources and entered to a Geographic Information System (GIS). The existing land use map derived with the help of satellite images. Then, by overlaying different layers, homogeneous units (e.g. homogeneous Polygon) we produced the reviewing and results data base, with considering the region and planning objectivese and ecological assessment. In order to obtain the models that applied on homogeneous polygon. Finally, maps are prepared voided and extraction based on planning and suggestions. This report has been investigated and classified to determine the best type of land use, land suitability homogeneous entity in the current status and future, concerning the climate conditions and giving priority to agriculture land (dry land and irrigated agriculture), rangeland and forestry as well.

        In the recent decades, soil erosion rates in Iran have increased, so during the 1951 until now, a growth rate of 420 percent was associated with the process. Now the main problem is due to soil conservation and land management to become one of the major concerns. Most of the country's vast watershed areas and limited financial resources and administrative, are causing managers of basins for recognizing the lands with priority, looking for better planning. The models and methods that are discussed in this context is sometimes difficult because of the variety of factors and their calculation, the performance is not good, Therefore, a simpler method of acceptance is high. This study was conducted to identify the critical points of the soil erosion in the watershed Farahzad of cumulative erosion index (CEI) was used. in this method, slope land, geology and land use as the most important factors were considered in the development of water erosion. And combining them based on the GIS, the cumulative index of erosion estimation and classification, the various fields of priority areas for executive soil conservation operation in Farahzad watershed were identified and classified.

        Today, with respect to the role and importance of urban green space in urban life and its physical stability and effectiveness of urban systems and benefits in different ecological, social and economic, it is undeniable  to use green space per capita in urban areas as one of the basic issues in planning and urban management. Urban green space, including land use and distribution that it is important in the Mashhad city, including the cities of the status of green space, is not appropriate; so that based on the findings, the average green space per capita in Mashhad is 5.51, m , while the standard MHUD is 12 square meters per capita . Therefore, it has suggested, there seems to exist a huge gap. However, its spatial distribution is very unbalanced and disproportionate. Green space areas such as Samen with 1.2, square meters and 21 square meters has per capita area of only seven. The method of this study was descriptive-analytic and theoretical-practical. The  nature shows that, contrary to national and international standards for green space, the green space in the city is very low and its spatial distribution in twelve areas in Mashhad, is also facing a severe failure and is not balanced in this regard. In this study for analysis to determine the optimum location of green space model layers required Logic Fuzzy, AHP and means nearest neighbor were used for the operation of the software of ARC / GIS and Expert choice. Five spectra of very good, good, fair, poor and very poor were recognized. Then the act of prioritizing was rendered. Manuscript profile

        The following research aims to answer the question that how the Iranian narrative literature author has defined the elements and characters in illustrating the transformations of urban-social environment. In other words, considering the definitions of significant and crucial concepts in Herbert Blumer’s naturalistic research procedure, it is a matter of question that whether the environments reflected in narrative literature of contemporary Iran come from a dialectical process between the real elements of the society and the author's mind or from the fixed and frozen definitions that exist in political and social negotiations which is dominant in public and intellectual environment of the society. The population of interest is the anthology of short stories and written novels in contemporary Iranian literature (that is, the years between 1911 to 1979). The sample size contains 3 authors and 8 literary works that have been chosen based on the ideas of 27 experts utilizing Delphi Method. The procedure utilized in the following research is "dialectic objectivism". By applying the ideas of Georg Simmel, Henry Lefebvre and Lucien Goldman, an analytical-dialectical frame was achieved that was consistent with George Gurvitch’s fifth kind of dialectic named "dialectic of the prospects or the contrast of the manifests" (Mutual implication). On that basis it is possible to achieve a mutual relationship between that element and other elements by assessing every element of the social system. Applying the mentioned analytical frame, it would be possible to put the data obtained from the research and also communicational data of the elements beside each other and create a social information system (SIS). Through SIS, overall analysis of the society could be achieved. It was found that none of the chosen authors could be merely called dialectical or vice versa, since each one of their works could have a different structure depending on their social position and the time of writing the work and on the author's social and individual conditions and the type and length of the story.

        Abstract The atmospheric currents in the watershed are covered with snow and rain and return to the atmosphere in the form of evaporation, runoff. The present study was conducted in Koohrang watershed with the aim of determining the potential of rainwater harvesting using ANP and GIS techniques. After preparing basin maps such as land use, slope, etc., the amount of soil infiltration and initial maintenance was determined. Initial results showed that the Koohrang watershed has relatively good maintenance and the highest percentage of curve area is 0.8. The results of ANP method for determining the potential of rainwater harvesting showed that the hydrology criterion is better than the physical and topographic criteria, respectively. In the sub-criteria (land use, soil hydrological group and soil texture), land use performs better than the soil hydrology and soil texture groups in rainwater extraction, and the soil hydrological groups are 2.5 times higher than soil texture. The inconsistency coefficient obtained for comparing the metrics and sub-metrics is 0.8 and 1.2, respectively. By calculating all the effective parameters in calculating runoff potential, a potential map for this watershed was prepared in five floors. The map of rainwater harvesting potential in the Koohrang watershed is relatively good. The overall results showed that the network analysis methods considering different field parameters can be a suitable method for estimating the potential of rainwater harvesting and proper mediation for loss.

        Assessing and monitoring groundwater quality is always an important challenge that is associated with specific problems. In order to use groundwater for drinking, its quality must be examined. In this study, the quality of groundwater used in drinking water in Baghmalek plain was investigated. For this purpose, the groundwater of this area was initially classified according to eight important parameters that have a decisive role in the quality of groundwater. These 8 parameters are: Cl (Cl), Sodium (Na), Water hardness (TH), Bicarbonate (HCO3), Sulfate (SO4), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Magnesium (Mg) and Calcium (Ca). , Then the weight of each of the main factors was determined by AHP hierarchical method and the different information layers were merged based on the resulting weights and finally a raster map was obtained using GIS software and layers integration. In the hierarchical analysis, according to the experts, the TDS parameter had the highest weight. The results of qualitative evaluation indicate that about 88% of the study area is in good and acceptable range and about 12% is inappropriate and very inappropriate. Manuscript profile

        Rural environmental protection is considered as one of rural development requirements. One of the most important issues in rural areas, is the perfect place to dispose waste. The main purpose of this research is spatial analysis operation using GIS technology and FAHP techniques in order to locate the optimal range waste disposal of Zarrindasht city. For this purpose, in the first stage, using nine information layers which includes layers of information, distance to fault, distance from the canals, geology, soil type, distance to roads, distance from settlements, altitude, slope and land use was formed. Then, a questionnaire was designed for this purpose, and was prepared by the consultant engineers responsible for Rural Guide Plans, and finally experts of Housing Foundation of Islamic Revolution were completed that, twenty people have answered the questionnaire completely. The results show that the most optimal landfill sites were near roads and most inappropriate places were near the human settlements. The results obtained from FAHP also suggest that the measure of distance from human settlements was dedicated the most weight to themselves by a coefficient 0/232 and measure of the height was dedicated the lowest weight to themselves. The area of 4626-square-kilometer of Zarrindasht, 3.83 percent was quite suitable, 48/98 percent was suitable, 35/82 percent was fairly suitable, 9/03 percent was unsuitable and 2/33 was completely unsuitable for landfill.

        Equality in distribution of health facilities is one of the main indicators for increasing the availability of the general health index to the society. So, equitable access to health services for all people in a community leads to promoting the health and equal opportunities in the society. The aim of this study is the evaluation of equity in health by assessing people's access to health centers using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) in Ardebil (with Descriptive and analytical Methods). DEA is one of the useful tools in understanding decision-making milieu, with the primary information processing. Thus, with taking advantage of the GIS the spatial index was provided. Hence, the access quality of the ARDEBIL citizen's to health centers by using of the spatial indicators in the structure of CCR-O model was evaluated. According to the results, the average efficiency of the urban core is the 0.45. Among the urban cores of Ardebil, only three urban cores have the perfect efficiency (Including a range of Shohada Square, Sharyati and 15 Khordad, and Shahriyar neighborhoods, Azadegan and the Garapache garden and the area around Shorabil). In Division of the efficiency to 3 categories in format of Quite efficient (1 = μ), acceptable (0.7≤μ) and unacceptable (0.7≥μ), areas in about 1,000 hectares with a 30 thousand residents of South-Central corridor position with over 6.5 km have the perfect and acceptable efficiency; of the total area of 6031 hectares and 421069 spectators of urban cores.

        One of the important problems in terms of sports spaces in Iran is not paying attention to locating. The aim of this paper is to investigate the place distribution of sports land uses in Ilam City and to determine proper arenas in order to present a good pattern. The method is analytical-descriptive and the research is an applied one. The data is gathered from the libraries and by the field study and also the questionnaires and GIS maps were used. The population includes the experts of urban management and physical education in all 4 districts of Ilam City that 20 of them were chosen as the sample by Convenience Sampling and were surveyed. To analyze the data, GIS and AHP softwares were used. The findings reveal that the sports spaces are improperly distributed in Ilam City. Moreover, there has been lack of attention to the important norms and standards of sports spaces’ locating in building sports facilities. Furthermore, the views of the experts in the norms of the population density are of high importance in the norms of determining the sports spaces. In this research, 11 hectares of Ilam City’s land pieces were introduced and suggested as the best places proper for building the new sports spaces based on the determined norms and standards. .

        The unplanned physical expansion of cities is one of the most important problems of urban management in developing countries. Iran, like other developing world has experienced a high level of urbanization growth which transformed the physical fabric of urban areas. North of Iran is one of most rapid growing region of the country where the moderate climate and a tourism based economy encouraged many developers to investigate in housing sector. So, the primary outcome of such process was the out-growth of the city boundaries in the region. This research attempts to present an appropriate model for urban physical development. The study is based on the different parameters such as environmental and socio-economic factors to provide a good understanding of the city behavior in its geographical setting. Through applying the Multi-Criteria Decision Model (MCDA) and GIS, the most appropriate area will be introduced for near future development. The results revealed that the integrated GIS and MCDA model has many potentials which allow the planner or user investigate the final decision for site selection for future urban physical development.  Manuscript profile

        Identifying acceptable drinking water sources depend on the methods which always incorporate the correct and logical choices. One of these methods is combination of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS), which is one of the appropriate assessment tools for groundwater management. The main objective of this study is to evaluate groundwater quality for drinking purposes in Qazvin plain. In order to build the groundwater quality map of this area, water quality parameters of 17 wells including total dissolved solids, hardness, sodium, chloride and sulfate during 2013 was measured. At the first step, the zoning map parameters were drawn by Interpolation method, Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), then classifications of maps were prepared based on Schoeller method. Afterwards the weights of the parameters were determined with the help of AHP. In the final stage, groundwater quality map of the study area was created by multiplying their combined weights to related zones. The results showed that about 83 percent of the area water quality is good and acceptable and about 17 percent is inappropriate. It could be concluded that most of the water in the study area in the Qazvin plain has good quality while central and eastern parts have more drinkable water sources. Manuscript profile

        The aim of the study is determination of the correlation between factors affecting in the wheat yield and preparing of yield mapping of wheat in north of Darab city. In order to determine the relationship between biological and grain yield with some of the important agronomic traits 60 samples in the north of Darab city was investigated. Parameters such as plant height, seed weight, harvest index, tiller number, latitude and longitude for each of the samples was measured. The results show that grain weight has highest correlation with the biological yield (0.97**). In this study, also using the Kriging (Gaussian models, spherical, circular and exponential models) and average inverse distance (IDW) maps of the biological yield and grain weight was determined. The results of the interpolation show that kriging method (Gaussian model) with a minimum error (RMSE=0.98 for biologic yield and RMSE=0.97 for grain weight) was the best model for preparation of these parameters in the study area. Also the results of biologic yield map show that areas locating in the North West of the study area were the highest yield. Manuscript profile

        This study aims to assess Agro-climatic suitability for Cumin producing in East-Azerbaijan province based on GIS spatial analysis technique. For this goal, several criteria including soil conditions, climatologically indicators, topography situation and agro-climatology criteria were taken into account of modeling process. The methodology was performed based on GIS spatial analysis. For this to happen, standardization process was performed on criteria and weighting process was done using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. GIS based multicriteria decision analysis was employed for weighted overlapping of indicators and results were achieved based on GIS- Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) method. Initial results indicated that East-Azerbaijan province has potential for cultivating of Cumin. Based on results, Cumin plant can be cultivated in Mianeh, Shabestar, Maragheh, Marand, Sahand, Sarab, Varzrghan, Kaleybar and Bostan Abad regions which are classified in suitable category. Also, the rest regions indicated moderate potential for this purpose. Finally, about 2561151 ha of this province has high suitability, 2017916 ha has moderate suitability. Lacks of enough attention to the feasibility assessment of Cumin plant in this province, results of this research are great of importance for the purpose of regional planning in East-Azerbaijan province.

        The rapidly growing world population places considerable pressure on increasingly scarce natural resources, spurring the need to develop more efficient and sustainable agricultural production systems to feed these growing populations. this study to evaluate the agricultural lands in Golestan province for soybeans, using Geographic Information System (GIS) and weighted linear method (WLC) was performed. For this purpose, the needs of the crop and environmental variable factors were determined and graded and according to current elements prepared required map. Studied Physiographic variables were consisted of slope, aspect, elevation and the soil texture. Data were standardized by fuzzy method, and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used for weighting the criteria. Finally, soybean cultivation potential map were prepared with using weighted linear combination (WLC) in the software IDRISI The results showed the highest amount weighty criteria by the Analytic Hierarchy Process in the soybean soil texture (0.5228) and elevation whit (0.0765) had the lowest coefficient in the rankings. Then zoning of lands carried out in 4 classes (high suitable, suitable, less suitable and non-suitable Generally results of the weighted linear combination of Physiographic showed that 11.08 and 37.60 percent of the lands for soybean production areas were located in high suitable and suitable zones. In addition, limiting factor of the soybean cultivation in the Golestan province can be cited soil texture. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to provide a model for the impact of the establishment of a management information system (MIS) on conflicts management styles of sport education managers. The present study is a correlation-descriptive-survey method in terms of purpose. Regarding to the relatively small volume of research in the whole population, the same 220 individuals were identified as the statistical sample. The data collection tool was Robbins Conflict Management Style Questionnaire (1991) and Akbari Management Information System Questionnaire (2011). In order to analyze the data, SPSS 20 and Smart PLS 3 software were used. In this research, the hypotheses are all confirmed and the impact of the establishment of the management information system on conflict management, the impact of the establishment of management information system on the style of cooperation, the style of compromise, the style of self-sacrifice, avoidance style, and competition style has been proved. This study showed that the establishment of management information system with the effect on conflict management styles, on better understanding of the use of this system among the educational managers of the sport leads to decrease conflict and better management.     Manuscript profile
