Despite the great emphasis on sustainable agricultural development, it seems that there are many practical difficulties towards empirical assessment of agricultural sustainability. In this regard, the present study aims to propose a comprehensive framework for the assessment of agricultural sustainability and present an empirical application of the proposed framework in south-east Iran (Kerman province). The framework is based on a stepwise procedure, involving: (1) The calculation of economic, social, environmental, political, institutional and demographic indicators, covering the actual and potential aspects of unsustainability; (2) the application of Fuzzy Pairwise Comparisons

Moreover, the corresponding cross-thrusts were also associated with at least five clusters of medium-magnitude earthquakes. The Lakar Kuh fault with ~160 km length run parallel to the Nayband fault (Figure 1). The slip-rate of faults and also the spatio-temporal distribution of large-magnitude shallow-depth earthquakes on the Kuhbanan-Lakar Kuh fault system, attain broad concern for seismic hazard assessment (Figure 1). The horizontal slip-rate of the Kuhbanan fault is estimated ~1–2 mm/yr (Walker et al., 2012). Furthermore, the total horizontal displacement of the fault is reported ~5–7 km, as determined by the offset geological markers (Table 2). Table 1.

  • Shrimp Culture Impact on the Surface and Ground Water of Bangladesh
    The 1 st International Applied Geological Congress, Department of Geology, Islamic Azad University - Mashad Branch, Iran, 26-28 April 2010 Shrimp Culture Impact on the Surface and Ground Water of Bangladesh A.K.M. Munirul Haque1, M. Sarwar Jahan2 and Md. Abul Kalam Azad2* 1Local and Revenue Audit Directorate, Audit Complex, Segun Bagicha, Dhaka – 1000, Bangladesh . 2*Institute of Environmental Science, University of Rajshahi , Rajshahi – 6205, Bangladesh . Tel. 88-01746-141541 (cell phone) and 88-0721-750930 (office) Fax. 88-0721-750064, E-mail. [email protected] Abstract A case study was carried out to see the impacts of shrimp culture on the surface (pond) and ground water (tube-well) quality in three coastal sub-districts of Bagherhat Sadar, Rampal and Morrelganj of Bangladesh. The people of Rampal (100%), Morrelgonj (87.5%) and Bagherhat (75.5%) expressed that salinity of both surface and ground water increased for shrimp culture, and water becomes more turbid, odorous and less tasty compare to pre-shrimp culture scenario. The ground water pH was found to little acidic (6.07– 6.71) but the surface water was mild alkaline in nature (7.00–7.46). Ground water was more saline (1893.12–2673.33 ppm) than surface water (513.31-2253.33 ppm). Potassium level of surface water was very high (97.75-242.42 ppm) compare to ground water (11.73- 27.37 ppm), which exceeds the WHO Guideline Value (10 ppm) and Bangladesh Standard for Drinking Water (12.0 ppm). The pollution level of phosphorous and iron was found to little higher but other pollutants like nitrate, boron and zinc was found to very low in surface and ground water in the shrimp culture area of Bangladesh.

Evidence from Mahdiābād-e Oliā (Rigān- Kermān) Abstract The present note provides a general overview of the site of Mahdiābād-e Oliā, 250 km SE of the city of Kerman, discussing objects exposed by the flood in 2017 as well as its architectural remains, with special attention to a complex that includes a square structure, inviting comparison with Achaemenid palaces. Keywords Mahdiābād-e Oliā, Rigān county, building-complex, Achaemenid period Introduction Over a decade of archaeological fieldwork in the context of the Bam Cultural Landscape project launched after the tragic earthquake of December 26 2003, a number of sites of Achaemenid date were discovered, including Abāreq, Dārzin, Arg-e Bam and Afrāz, established in or shortly before the Achaemenid period and subsequently transformed into urban centers of the region.

This study was performed in order to indentify the rodent fauna inhabiting pistachio gardens in Kerman Province, Southeast Iran. In this order we used live trapping method for the sampling of rodents. In total, 105 rodent specimens were collected. The specimens were studied in respect to their morphological, cranial and external characteristics. The results showed that six species belonging to five genera of rodents and one species of lagomorpha occur in this region. The identified samples were as fallow: Cricetulus migratorius, Mus musculus, Nesokia indica, Meriones persicus, Meriones libycus, Tatera indica, and Ochotona rufescenc. Mus musculus and Cricetulus migratorius had maximum and minimum abundance respectively. Morphological and morphometric characteristics of the identified species were investigated. Key words: Rodentia, Lagomorpha, Pistachio gardens, Kerman Province, Iran. Introduction some rodents in the agricultural areas of Southern parts of Kerman Province (Missone 1990). To date no such studies Rodents constitute one of the largest orders of mammals, are carried out in agricultural areas such as pistachio gar- which composed of about 29 families, 443 genera and 2277 dens in Kerman Province.
