    Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 5(3): 405-419, 2011 ISSN 1991-8178 Limiting the Imbalanced Development of Large Cities by Granting Immediate Accessibility to Amenities in Suburban Region Case Study: Rasht City Farhad Amiri Fard, Urban planning Department of Islamic Azad University of Bandaranzali (IAU). Abstract: Emerging city poles without existence of a proper spatial hierarchy causes serious problem in all over a country. To avoid heterogeneous and unequal development in metropolises, it is necessary to limit their development. As a center for Guilan province, Rasht city is the most populated urban locality in north of Iran which acts as an urban system by its urban and rural centers and suburbs and concerns for sprawl in the future which would disturb regional balances, reflect the necessity of a plan compilation to limit spatial development so that to be suggested as a standard for other regions. So this paper seeks to investigate present problem and compile appropriate aims to remove those problem and organize a harmonic and balanced system on an urban region scale applying appropriate strategy in Rasht metropolis and its suburbs. Key words: Rasht metropolis, Limitation of development, spatial planning, Regional imbalance, Suburban region, amenities. INTRODUCTION During recent decades, fast growth of urbanization in Iran has caused developments over capacity of economic, social and in some cities. Arising from uncontrolled rural migration into major urban centers, this problem brought metropolises such as Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Tabriz, Rasht and Shiraz in Iran spatial extents and subsequently overdevelopment in these metropolises and disability of suburban small cities to compete with metropolises led to regional imbalances in the regions’ level.

  • Zoning the Villages of Central District of Dena County in Terms of Sustainability of Livelihood Capitals
    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2019) Vol. 21(5): 1091-1106 Zoning the Villages of Central District of Dena County in Terms of Sustainability of Livelihood Capitals Z. Sharifi1, M. Nooripoor1*, and H. Azadi2 ABSTRACT The sustainable livelihood approach was introduced as a sustainable rural development approach in the late 1980s with the aim of poverty alleviation in the rural communities. This approach has offered a broad framework for assessing the various dimensions of sustainability. An important component of this framework is livelihood capitals in a way that it is not possible to achieve sustainable rural livelihood with no regard to the livelihood capitals and assets in rural areas. Thus, the purpose of this descriptive-analytic survey research was zoning the villages of the Central District of Dena County in terms of the sustainability of livelihood capitals. The statistical population of this study was 2500 rural households in the Central District of Dena County, of which 300 households were selected using cluster random sampling method with appropriate allocation based on Krejcie and Morgan’s table. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire whose face validity was confirmed by a panel of experts, and its reliability was confirmed in a pre-test and calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Findings of the research showed that, in most studied villages, 3 capitals (social, physical, and human) were above the average and 2 capitals (financial and natural) as well as the total capital was less than average. Additionally, there was a gap and heterogeneity between the villages in terms of social, human, natural capital as well as financial capital, whereas there was a homogeneity in terms of physical and total capital as well.

The excessive use of the fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture with the threat of the chemicals in water and crops especially in the two north provinces of Iran is a major concern of Iranian environmental scientists. This project is a trial to find out the status of nitrate content in drinking water of two great provinces in the north of Iran. The objectives of the present research: Determination the level of nitrate (mg/L) in drinking water of some agricultural and industrial cities and comparing of the probable effects of different industrial factories on the level of nitrate in drinking water of them. The tap water samples of 60 different sites from Rasht , Bandar Anzali and Talesh in Gilan province and Sari, Behshar and Amol in Mazandaran province in three consequent months in summer season (July, August and September) in 2013, were collected and by spectroscopy method were determined.

A review of almost all the published literature and of photographs of unidentified specimens within the public domain gives a grand total of 248 species, from seven subfamilies and 37 genera. In the majority of instances, our own specimens were compared with type images available from antweb.com. This has led us to propose new or revised status for Cataglyphis turcomanica Crawley 1920, Lepisiota integrisquama (Kuznetsov-Ugamsky, 1929), Lepisiota surchanica (Kuz- netsov-Ugamsky, 1929) and Messor obscurior Crawley 1920. We note that the total includes a number of what may be misidentifications and a small number of named species that seem unlikely to occur in Iran.

  • Recent Breeding Records and Status of the Barn Owl Tyto Alba in Gilan Province, Northern Iran ABBAS ASHOORI, HOSSIEN ALINEJAD & ALI HAMRAZ
    Recent breeding records and status of the Barn Owl Tyto alba in Gilan province, northern Iran ABBAS ASHOORI, HOSSIEN ALINEJAD & ALI HAMRAZ The Barn Owl Tyto alba is a resident breeder in the Middle East with a wide but somewhat fragmented distribution from northern Turkey to southern Yemen with occurrence in southwest Iran (Porter et al 1996, Mansoori 2008). However, Osaei et al (2007) presented records of 74 birds in 28 localities in 12 provinces of Iran since 1990. They suggested that the Barn Owl’s range has expanded eastwards over much of Iran. There were only three records of the species in Iran in the 1970s (from two localities in Khuzestan province and one locality in Bushehr province). Also, they reported an abandoned nest with a single dead nestling at Ali-Abad village (37° 32′ 36″ N, 49° 14′ 59″ E), 2 km from Kapour-Chal, Gilan province (Osaei et al 2007). Here we report Barn Owl records for seventeen localities in nine cities of Gilan province 2007–2010 (Table 1, Figure 1). These include three breeding records. On 7 December 2009, one nest with four nestlings (three 22 days and one 16 days old, all not yet able to fly) was observed under the roof of a building in Ziba-Kenar (some 42 km from Ali-Abad village and less than one km from the shore of the Caspian sea). On 16 May 2010, one nest with four nestlings (c18 days old) with one of their parents was observed in an old mosque at the centre of Lashte-Nesha city (c15 km from Ziba-Kenar and 16 km from the Caspian sea).

  • ID 485 Developing a Risk Covering Based Model for Locating Rescue
    Proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Pilsen, Czech Republic, July 23-26, 2019 Developing a risk covering based model for locating rescue and relief centers in hazardous materials transportation (An empirical study: Guilan province of Iran) Hamideh Baghaei Daemi M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering, MehrAstan University, Guilan, Iran [email protected] Abbas Mahmoudabadi Director, Master Program in Industrial Engineering, MehrAstan University, Guilan, Iran [email protected] Sedigheh Rezvani Chomachar M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering, MehrAstan University, Guilan, Iran [email protected] Abstract Although hazardous materials (Hazmat) transportation plays an important role in the economy, it has always raised authorities’ concerns on the potential risks to humans and the environment. A Hazmat accident may impact serious damage to the people within the scope of the incident so in the areas where special relief centers do not exist, Hazmat accidents may be more severe. In the present research work, a mathematical model for locating the relief and rescue centers has been developed in which the network risk coverage is maximized. A procedure has been developed to determine the optimum sites for constructing special relief and rescue centers based on Hazmat transport risk. In order to validate the proposed model, an experimental intercity road network including 46 nodes and 126 two-way edges (252 edges) in the Iranian northern province of Guilan has been selected as the case study. The results revealed that solving locating problems in terms of risk coverage and distance coverage have different results on location, so local or national authorities who are dealing with Hazmat transport planning should be aware on attributes considered for locating rescue and relief centers.
