        Culture and cultural management are among the things that are considered as the main axis and foundation of sustainable economic development. Culture, as a set of beliefs, attitudes and heart beliefs of a group and society, constitutes their way of life. When the society's way of life is based on a strong scientific and developed culture, it is easy to build the foundations of sustainable development. Based on this, in this article, an attempt is made to investigate and study the influential cultural currents from the point of view of managers and experts in relation to the factors and influential cultural-social currents governing Ardabil province. The main results of this analysis, using Q factor analysis was performed on the participants, four main mental groups were obtained from the perspective of the managers and experts of the province regarding the cultural currents of Ardabil province. The first group, which constitutes 23% of the respondents, expressed the existence of social harms in Ardabil province. are dissatisfied. The second group, which constitutes 37% of the responding managers and experts, have not expressed dissatisfaction with the cultural trends of Ardabil province. They have evaluated the province's culture in the political field. Finally, the fourth group, which constitutes 17% of the respondents, believes that the guardian of religious propaganda should be a specific organization. They are against the fact that the cultural products of Ardabil province have been able to respond to the cultural and value gaps of our country. Manuscript profile

        The political relations of the countries with common marine domains have been involved a crisis because of inadequacy of water in the world and low rainfall rate in different parts of the world and irregular population growth and the ever-increasing need to water. Therefore some important international organizations like United Nations organization and UNESCO has named the 21st century as the hydropolitic century. Iran with 1/648/195 km2 width and more than 1/4 of its land is desert. So this climatic condition made this country as one of the low rainfall zone in the world. From 1335 decade (Iran's 1st census) to 1385 decade, Iran's population has grown more than 4 times. This rapid growth of population increases Iran's water needs. 24 border rivers flow in Iran. The most important and the longest one is Aras Border River which the main part of it has located in Ardabil province. Aras river sources were from Turkey that after passing Armenia, flows in Iran. Then it travels a very long distance along with Iran and republic of Azerbaijan borders. Afterward it enters Azerbaijan land. At last it flows in Caspian sea. Ardabil province, specially the fields of Ardabil and moghan cities are depending on the water of Aras border river, strongly. The high population growth in this province and the influx of immigrants from other cities of country has increased the need of more water of this region in order to provide food. Because of the existence of Aras river sources in Turkey, the lack of a suitable legal regime in using of Aras zone and the population's future needs for more food and drinking water, it will be anticipated that the political security of this region has been crisised and the root of these crisises are the border water and the hydropolitic of region.

        Land use/cover mapping is one of the most common applications of remote sensing data. Remote sensing data by providing updated digital information, repetitive coverage, reduce costs and the possibility of processing and high potential for the preparation of land use/cover maps in natural resources, is of paramount importance. In this study, the land use and cover map prepared using Google Earth and the Operational Land Imager image sensor (OLI) of Landsat 8 satellite and methods of visual interpretation (GE images), supervised classification, neural networks and object-based classification methods (Landsat 8 images), and compared with each other. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the classification, the overall accuracy, Kappa coefficient, producer’s accuracy and user’s accuracy were used. The results showed that the visual interpretation method with overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of 99.4 and 0.99, in comparison to the object-based, supervised and artificial neural networks (with an overall accuracy of 94, 82 and 60.8, and a Kappa coefficient of 0.92, 0.77 and 0.50) are more reliable. According to the map of visual interpretation, the rangelands with an area of 946687 ha and water bodies in the area of 217.42 ha were the largest and smallest land use/covers, respectively. In terms of accuracy, the visual interpretation method using Google Earth images had the highest accuracy, but it is time-consuming and cost-effective. In contrast, object-based method with acceptable accuracy and with low cost and time is the best method for land use/cover mapping. Manuscript profile

        Background and ObjectiveRapid development of cities due to extensive changes in land use and land cover has had negative effects on global environmental quality. Land cover and  land use changes, and the development of urban and agricultural regions and deforestation are changing the regional and local temperature regime. Knowing the land surface temperature degrees contribute significantly to a wide range of issues relating to the Earth science such as urban climate, global environmental changes, and the study of the interaction of human and the environment. The lack of sufficient meteorological stations to be aware of temperature values in regions lacking a station is considered as a major flaw in monitoring the land surface temperature. Due to the information limitations, collecting data especially to a large extent,  is associated with many problems and obstacles, and the real-time access is difficult or impossible. Therefore, the need to use remote sensing technology with time conditions along with the feature of continuity and data collection in wide ranges can be very effective. The purpose of this study is to investigate the land surface temperature of Namin county in a period of 28 years and to compare the obtained results with land use and vegetation changes. Materials and MethodsThe data used in this study included  Landsat 8 satellite image of the OLI sensor in order to extract land use map and  TIRS sensor image to extract land surface temperature for the year 2015. Moreover, Landsat 5 satellite image of the TM sensor were used to extract land use map by using visible and infrared bands, and also to extract land surface temperature by using thermal bands for the year 1987. Images were taken in late spring and early summer due to the lack of high cloudy and snowy covers , as well as the high intensity of sunlight. The eCognition8.9 software was used for object-based classification. Classification in five classes (dry and irrigated farming, rangeland, forest and residential) and six classes (dry and irrigated farming, rangeland, forest, residential and water bodies) were selected  for the years 1987 and 2015 respectively. To assess the accuracy and comparison of the obtained maps, the error matrix, overall accuracy, and kappa statistics were used. Split-Window method was used to extract the land surface temperature of the study area. Finally, in order to analyze the relationship between land surface temperature with vegetation index, the correlation coefficients between land surface temperature and vegetation index were calculated based on land use types in the years 1987 and 2015. Results and Discussion The highest land use area in the years 1987 and 2015 belongs to the rangeland use with 43781 and 34114 hectares  respectively and the second land use area belongs to dry farming use with 23854 and 33277 hectares respectively. Moreover due to the lack of water use , the lowest land use area in 1987 belongs to residential use with 1301 hectares, while in 2015 with the construction of water structures, water use with an area of 86 hectares has the lowest land use area. The highest land use area increase was in the dry farming with 9423 hectares, which is a significant increase compared to 1987. The highest recorded temperature for Namin county in 1987 and 2015 was related to dry farming use (34°C and 27°C, respectively), indicating the concentration of heat in these regions. This type of land use has the highest temperature due to the factors such as the dryness of the products at this time and the harvest of the products. In 1987, dry farming use had the highest temperature (34°C), but in 2015 it experienced a decrease in temperature (27°C), despite the fact that it had the highest land surface temperature compared to other  types of land uses in 2015. The reason can be attributed to the factor of harvesting crops. Due to the fact that the rainfed crops in the study area are mostly wheat, and at this time of the season, most of the wheat is ripe or harvested, so the transpiration of these products is insignificant. The lowest recorded temperatures in Namin county are related to the uses of water bodies (21°C), forest (21°C) and irrigated farming (22°C), respectively. Since water has a high heat capacity, it has the greatest effect on reducing the temperature. In forest and irrigated farming land uses, due to the higher vegetation density, the land surface temperature has the lowest value (23°C and 24°C in 1987 and 21°C and 22°C in 2015 respectively) compared to the other land use types. Agricultural land use in this area has the lowest land surface temperature (24°C in 1987 and 21°C in 2015) after forest areas. Due to the fact that the crops cultivated in this area are plants such as potatoes and these plants have more water needs, therefore these plants have a high greenness value at June to early July, which has led to more transpiration in the area where they are cultivated than other areas, thus it has been very effective in keeping the land surface temperature cool. The rangeland use has had high land surface temperatures (27°C and 25°C, respectively) in the two study  years, and there is little difference between the two years. According to the study season which was late June to early July, the high temperature of this land use type is due to the increase in the areas lacking canopy cover or areas having low or scattered vegetation. Due to the fact that in August, most of the leaves and brunches of the existing plants are dry and the transpiration is low, high temperatures are also recorded. The relationship between land surface temperature and vegetation index in rangeland use in the two study years had the highest correlation (0.91 in 1987 and 0.83 in 2015), while the correlation coefficient of the forest use was the lowest (0.46 in 1987 and 0.23 in 2015). Conclusion Land use type and land use and vegetation changes have a significant effect on land surface temperature changes. However, areas without vegetation have a higher land surface temperature than the areas with vegetation. The results showed that there was no significant correlation between vegetation cover and land surface temperature, which is mainly due to sufficient vegetation. In general, the results showed that in most areas with lower temperatures, there is high density vegetation indicating an inverse relationship between vegetation index and land surface temperature.

        An experiment was conducted in 1401 in the lands of Andzaq village, Meshgin Shahr city, located in Ardabil province. Application of vermicompost: at two levels of zero (V0) and 5 tons per hectare as soil application before planting (V1), application of growth promoting bacteria (PGRP) as inoculation with seeds, at 2 levels: inoculation with a mixture of 2 Azospirillium and Azotobacter bacteria (F1) and without inoculation (F0), - Nitrogen from urea source: in 3 levels zero (N0) and 50 (N50) and 100 kg/ha (N100) in pure form. The results showed that the combined use of vermicompost and inoculum has a synergistic effect and growth-promoting bacteria with vermicompost can work in a better environment and substrate and can fix nitrogen. So that the effect of vermicompost in improving the percentage of essential oil in different levels of nitrogen varies from 15% in N0 to 3% in N50 and up to 10% in N100. The effect of using different levels of nitrogen on the yield of essential oil was very significant, so that the use of 100 kg of nitrogen was about 79% effective on the yield of essential oil, and the use of 50 kg of nitrogen was also about 42% effective on the yield and the yield reached 836 kg. In high amounts of nitrogen, the percentage of camazolin increased. The lowest amounts of alpha-bisabolol amount to 19.4%, 19.8, 20.7 and 21. Manuscript profile

        This research was carried out to identify heat waves in Ardabil province and analyze their synoptic patterns using an environmental-to-circulation method. For this purpose, the average daily maximum temperature data of Ardabil, Parsabad, and Meshkinshahr synoptic stations were used in the statistical period of 1980-2020. The 95th percentile index was determined as a criterion for identifying a hot day, and its duration of at least 3 days was considered as the basis for defining a heat wave. Examining the trend of SLP, HGT, and Tmax of these waves showed that in the hottest days of heat waves, the trend of SLP is downward and the trend of HGT and Tmax is upward. Clustering of heat wave generation patterns based on reanalysis data of sea level pressure and geopotential height of 500 hectopascals using cluster analysis method and Ward's clustering method led to the identification of 5 clusters which were presented in two main groups. In the first pattern, low pressure at the sea level surface and high pressure in the mid-atmospheric level, and in the second pattern, the location of the studied area in the west of the pseudo-Omega blocking of western Russia at the level of 500 hectopascals were identified as synoptic factors of heat waves in Ardabil province. The common feature of both models is the high thickness of the atmosphere over the region on the days of this event Manuscript profile

        Abstract The availability of land use information permits decision-makers to develop plans in short to long-term period for the conservation, sustainable use and development of natural resources and watersheds. In this study, ETM+ image (2006), GPS and GIS were used for image interpretation, field data collection and land use mapping. Preprocessing and required correction have conducted. Initially, field visit have been conducted and different land uses have been defined. In the second step, image was visually interpreted and then training area has selected and using the maximum likelihood algorithm image was classified. According to the lack of the capability for detecting river beds and residential areas in digital image processing, integration of visual and digital interpretation (supervised classification) and object-based image analysis were used. Results show that, in visual interpretation, there is almost no capability to discriminate rangeland from dry farming land uses; however garden, residential areas and riverbeds are discriminated. Results of supervised classification show that there are problems to detect and discriminate different land uses; however, by integration of digital and visual interpretation, it is possible to use Landsat data to discriminate different land uses in the areas such as Kaftareh watersheds and Arshagh region of Ardabil province. The results of the evaluation of object-based classification accuracy showed the highest overall accuracy, because the method parameters such as scale, shape, tone and texture, in addition to using pixel values ​​were used in classification, hence with appropriate segment creation, there is the possibility of precise discrimination of land uses such as residential areas from dryland farming. In the future studies, according to the importance of land use map in the studies such as natural resources, watershed managements and agriculture, it is better to use high spatial imagery and object-based methods.      Manuscript profile

        The use of quantitative methods and criteria for the classification of human settlements in the spatial system of regions, on the one hand led to the recognition of inequality of settlements and on the another hand is the criteria for effort to reduce and eliminate the inequality among them. In order to solve the problems of regional imbalance, the first step of recognition, is the classification of the regions in terms of enjoyment of different facilities.In this study, eight indicators were used to evaluate the development's degree of counties of Ardabil province by TOPSIS analysis. The method is descriptive and analytical.In this classification, Khalkhal county by 0.72 of development's factor has the highest degree of development and Bilehsavar by 0.07 has the lowest degree of development in Ardabil province.

        Based on archaeological and geographic studies carried out in Ardebil province, this paper aimed at analyzing the role of geographical phenomena in the formation, development and decline of the pre-historic castles of Ardebil province. This descriptive-analytical study with an interdisciplinary approach, using satellite imagery, systematic field surveys and archaeological explorations followed the answer to this question, how was the pattern of third and second millennium settlements pattern in Ardabil province and how and to what extent were the natural and geographical factors influencing this? The study results indicated that the geographic phenomena have important role in the formation and spatial distribution of historic castles of Ardebil province. Analysis of the spatial distribution of castles and the Eco-political interaction together, brought this assumption to mind that the pattern of Eco-political interaction in Ardabil province’s castles is closely related to the crystallographic location pattern. So that, the central location theory can be tracked in this geographic area. According to this model, the Qal'eh Khosro was a central castle and its surrounding, there were smaller castles like Zino, Shyndyr Shami, Kychyk Jordi, Sheitan Dashy and, etc., were its cyclical castles. One of the main features of the central castle (Qal'eh Khosro) is the vast expanse of the site and the presence of a large cemetery next to it. Of the main features of the cyclical castles can be noted as small area, being scattered around the central castle at definite intervals, protecting limits and fortifications of the central castles and communication routes.
