        Gully erosion is one of the most complicated and destructive kinds of watererosion. In order to prevent this erosion, the important factors of gully headadvancement must be recognized. For this case, this research has been done in one ofthe sub basins of Hable Rood drainage basin with name’s of Dehnamak in arid andsemiarid weather. Then, effective factors of gully head advancement of four models:Thompson, SCS(І), SCS(ІІ) and FAO, that are: gully head cut watershed area, claypercentage amounts, gully bottom slope percentage and other factors such as solublesalts percentage, silt percentage amounts and sand percentage amounts have beenminded. Meaning amount of each effective factor with gully head advancementamounts in stage of 95% in period of time 1956 to 2005 studied.Result of statistical studies shows, factors such as gully head cut watershed areawith correlation coefficient of 0.98, soluble salts percentage with correlationcoefficient of 0.97 and clay percentage amounts with correlation coefficient of 0.96,intermittently have a most meaning in stage of 0.95. After this, model with usingeffective factors, above mentioned, and SPSS software and two methods, Enter andBackward formed. Then, potential of gully head advancement in following years in theway of comparison estimated amounts by models and measure amounts by aerialphotos studied.

        Urbanization and globalization of cities has been an essential feature of the recentdecades. This phenomenon is significant in developing countries like Iran which hasencountered a huge growth in urbanization. This condition has make crises in urbandevelopment management and urban structures.This article investigates Tehran management system and determines challenges andopportunities in this system by investigating Tehran management system to analyzepublic traditional and multi-faceted management features in Tehran. Multi aspectmanagement, housing crisis, marginalization, ground source misuses, councils andmunicipalities are among the most important challenges of Tehran urban management.Considering such situations, management of urban development in Tehran has facedsocial-economical, managerial and incapable development plans and urbancivilization.These conditions necessitate a revelation in managerial system of urbandevelopment in Tehran which can not be accomplished easily and requires a processand “passing period”. This period involves changes in the current managerial systemtowards “planning approach paradigm” which covers progress, flexibility, andadaptability.Based on this planning approach paradigm and manipulated researches, some of themost remarkable approaches in reforming managerial system of urban development inTehran have been introduced.

        Bastak Region is located in the northwest of Hormazgan Province. It is consideredas one of the poor regions of the country according to it's water resources while 7.24billion cubic meters of water run down to the sea in the form of waste water and floodsin Hormozgan each year without any further accessibility to it.Saline, alkaline and heavy ground water or the surface water flowing through thesaline formations are used for the irrigation of most agricultural territories of thisregion. However , the high level of ground water and severity of evaporation have stillreduced the soil fertility.On the other hand , the importance of water in this region increases with regard tothe dispersion of saline geological formations and improper quality of ground water.People suffer from the shortage of fresh and agricultural water most of the year. Thisregion is under the influence of two geological factors ie. The general folds of Zagrosmountaion chains and the phenomenon of diapirism.In addition to the saline and alkaline states of the soil, erosion has also largelyinfluenced on the decrease of its fertility. Therefore , this research mostly seeks for theeffective geomorphic evidence of the soil and water resources of the region while wehope to detect and offer some guidelines for it.Finally, salt domes are introdusing as one of the main factors of the salincty ofwater and soil in this region, We have used field activities and library and documentalmethods for achieving this purpose. Controling salinity plans should be implementedto prevent any further damage to the soil and water resources although manydifficulties are encountered when enforcing them due to several reasons. Thus, wehave tried to offer some reasonable suggestions base on two mechanical and biologicalstracthers for the reservation of soil and water resources according to regionalconditions.

        Slope discontinuity is one of the main factors of the change of geometrical form ofthe regional reliefes. Product transportation of denudation is from the highest landsand mountains to valleys and then toward the sedimental basins.The mass movementsof the slope materials like slip and slope discontinuity cause this and of course is thereason of the movement of large amount of slope material toward the valleys. Now theroad between Ardebil-Astara is changing because of the processes of slip and slopediscontinuty.In fact the existence of the factor like Lithology, the distance from the fault,vegetation, gravity force and change in the degree of slope, loading and the totalweight of the slope material, kind, classification and thickness of the material,rainwater, melting snow and ice, watering, topography situation and directioning of theslopes,land using and human factors cause the instability and discontinuty of theslopes throught the referred aea. So the map of the classifying the area with thepotential of landslide in this region is provided by the Arcview GIS software. Manuscript profile
