No attention to the rural spaces, carelessness about rural environments, no attention toward production abilities and possibilities of rural areas, are among essential problems in access to the rural development, and by execution of exact programming we can prevent harmful effects resulting from damaging of natural environment of villages and help to make the environment clean. The region studied in this research is Masal County, one of the counties in Guilan Province which has three areas of plain, mountainside and mountainous from natural point of view, and in this research, we have used feature coefficient technique for determination of applications based on type of services and determined feature coefficient technique so that amount of development of rural districts of this county would be determined on the basis of type of services and quantities of them. Results out of this research show that rural districts of this county depends on rate of population, natural environmental conditions, placement in natural potential accessibilities and possibilities centers; and in this environment renewing process intends to change environment of the villages that we should help to keep and even improvement of it by an essential programming. Generally, programming in direction to development without damage to rural texture and space and keeping natural view of village, need a comprehensive and principal management, that this involves a special attention to regional and local programming so that priorities existing in each region would be specified exactly.

For this study, 15 males and 13 females of Glis glis (Linnaeus, 1766) were captured from Gilan Province in southwest of the Caspian. We examined the karyotype of Glis glis from Iran for the first time, and found 2n=62, NF=124 and NFa=120. The X chromosome was metacentric and the Y chromosome was a dot-like acrocentric. It was determined that there were 12 nipples in females. Counts of embryos and newborns suggested a litter size range of 3-5 (n= 3).

    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 2(5)4599-4608, 2012 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2012, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com Bazaar Tourism as an Integrated Model for Balanced Tourism Based on Sustainable Development Paradigm Nooreddin Azimia,*, Farhad Amirifard b a Assistant Professor, Department of Urban Planning, University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran b Lecturer, Department of Urban Planning, Islamic Azad University, Anzali Branch, Anzali, Iran ABSTRACT The recent growing concern about the environmental impacts of mass tourism has persuaded experts to look for different strategies to prevent its impairment to the nature. Because of the moderate climate and pleasing environment, Guilan Province in the north of Iran has been facing with a surge of mass tourism over the past 15 years causing a serious concern for its environment. This paper aims to explore a new strategy to deal with the negative impacts of tourist flow in this region. The analysis of the date obtained from a field research indicates a gradual interest to cultural attractions by tourists. Under the sustainable development paradigm and in conjunction with the social, economic and cultural characteristics of the study area, bazaar tourism is introduced here as an alternative strategy to lessen the adverse effects of mass tourism in the region. Key words: Bazaar tourism, sustainable development, cultural tourism, alternative strategy, Guilan Province. INTRODUCTION The tourism industry is arguably the most rapidly growing industry in the world (Mbaiwa & Sakuze, 2009). With the increasing mobility of people, information, and capital on a global scale, the world has seen strong growth in tourist flow, foreign direct investment and collaboration between regions in tourism industry.

An attempt is also made to identify the elements of agritourism and discovere their internal relations in order to evaluate its development. Research Method : This is a descriptive-analytical study with a mixed research method, i.e. a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The research tools in this study include several types of questionnaires and interview cards. For the purpose of data analysis, a variety of statistical tests are used in quantitative and qualitative sections.

  • 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.

This study assesses the outdoor natural gamma dose rates in the air of 49 cities in Guilan and calculates corresponding average annual effective dose. Materials and Methods A total of 260 different sample points measurements were carried out. The results include both terrestrial and cosmic ray components of gamma radiation level. Results The outdoor gamma dose rates range from 65 to 127 nSv h-1 with the mean of 94 ± 24 nSv h-1. Conclusion The average outdoor gamma dose rate for Guilan determined in this study is significantly higher in comparison with values reported by UNSCEAR 2000 from different countries with the mean of 59 nSv although in comparison with many provinces of Iran, it is lower.
