        In this research, analyzing the meteorological drought is performed by using of five commonly usedindices including: Rainfall Standard Index (ZI), Deviation from Mean Index (SDI), Percent of NormalPrecipitation Index (PNPI), Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI) and Precipitation Classification range (PC)on seasonal and yearly precipitation data in the four synoptic stations of Zahedan, Zabol, Chabaharand Iranshahr, using the same period starting from 1964 and ending to 2005. The result showed thatSDI method performs more reliable estimation compared with PNPI, ZI, RAI methods in the annualand seasonal time scales. Based on SDI method, Sistan and Balouchestan Province has experiencedfrequent meteorological drought in both seasonal and annual time scales. In annual time scale, thefrequency (percent) of intense and severe droughts was smaller than frequency of mild and mediumdroughts. In the seasonal time scale, on average, based on SDI method, most (42%) of severe andintense droughts occurred in summer, but in winter, the risk of severe and intense droughts wassmaller (12%), We also used 3-year and 5-year moving averages method for evaluation of trends anddrought duration in the annually time scale in the mentioned sites. The results showed that the rainfallstandard index (RAI) performs different results from other indices. Other results also indicate that theintensity and frequency of meteorological drought are increasing in this province Manuscript profile

        In recent decades, the issue of entrepreneurship has attracted a lot of attention in the public sector, creating a new approach to government management called entrepreneurial government which has been raised to address the chronic problems of administrative and government services. Hence, there is a need to study and identify the drivers that affect this approach. Accordingly, the present study aims to investigate the drivers for developing entrepreneurial government in the country. To this end, after defining the subject and conducting initial exploratory and library studies, the relevant factors and components were considered by experts using the Delphi method and a researcher-made questionnaire. Having revised the factors and their components qualitatively and quantitatively based on related statistical methods, the experts reached a consensus on the balance among the model, its components, and combination of factors. The study sample in this section included 33 academic experts and professionals familiar with the subject who were recruited through non-probability, judgmental sampling. Then, in order to test the designed model, a researcher-made questionnaire was distributed among 335 managers and experts of the selected public sector organizations in Sistan and Balouchestan province who were recruited through random cluster sampling. Finally, PLS 3 was performed to analyze the data. The results showed that three categories of structural, content and contextual drivers are effective on the development of entrepreneurial government in the country, from among which content factors with an impact factor of 43.6 have the greatest impact on the development of entrepreneurial government.

        Passive defense refers to the set of basic and civil measures which conduct national resources and infrastructural facilities towards the appropriate defenses and conducting national security. to this, in this research social capital has been considered as one of most important sources lies in the social structure that is available by the objective functions. Confidence is base of social capital and increased civic participation. Thus, a main tradition of civic engagement, such as participation in elections is considered as an important indicator of social capital. Given the above, this study sought to examine the role of social capital in passive defense. To this, in an analytic review, we knew the relationship between social capital and passive defense. Then, in a statistical research we considered participation in elections as significant indicator to measure social capital. “Sistan and Baluchistan's province” is case study in this research. Results show the low rates of participation of people in this province in 9 periods of Presidential Election that suggests little trust between people and government and finally unfavorable situation of social capital. Reinforce the social capital in the region to take advantage of passive defense for national security, have been proposed. Manuscript profile
