  • Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960S and 1970S
    Podoces, 2008, 3(1/2): 1–30 Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960s and 1970s DEREK A. SCOTT Castletownbere Post Office, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland. Email: [email protected] Received 26 July 2008; accepted 14 September 2008 Abstract: The 12-year period from 1967 to 1978 was a period of intense ornithological activity in Iran. The Ornithology Unit in the Department of the Environment carried out numerous surveys throughout the country; several important international ornithological expeditions visited Iran and subsequently published their findings, and a number of resident and visiting bird-watchers kept detailed records of their observations and submitted these to the Ornithology Unit. These activities added greatly to our knowledge of the status and distribution of birds in Iran, and produced many records of birds which had rarely if ever been recorded in Iran before. This paper gives details of all records known to the author of 92 species that were recorded as rarities in Iran during the 12-year period under review. These include 18 species that had not previously been recorded in Iran, a further 67 species that were recorded on fewer than 13 occasions, and seven slightly commoner species for which there were very few records prior to 1967. All records of four distinctive subspecies are also included. The 29 species that were known from Iran prior to 1967 but not recorded during the period under review are listed in an Appendix. Keywords: Rare birds, rarities, 1970s, status, distribution, Iran. INTRODUCTION Eftekhar, E. Kahrom and J. Mansoori, several of whom quickly became keen ornithologists.

One of the Iran architectural manifestations is caravanserai which has been built on various historical eras. The most improved periods of construction and renovation of caravanserai was belonged to safavid time. Iran at safavid era was regarded as an important linking loop to international traffic. Many passengers came to Iran from various sites. Some were political agents and some other was traders who had travelled to Iran for various reasons, from other countries. Thus building caravanserai, that were considered as a hotel to international and national guests, was regarded so essential at safavid era. For this reason, Safavid Sultans (kings) had regarded it as a necessary point and started to construct caravanserai. In this era, particularly at first shah-Abbas time. Construct of caravanserai had been conducted along with ways and roads constructions and their repairs. Such human-made buildings, have been constructed across global world at various era, sometimes they was established in a region based on its special style and sometimes based on predominant government style. Nowadays, tourism development is known as a nations aims to enter foreign exchange. Regard to present economic problems such as unemployment, poor efficiency at agriculture section and over excess exploitation from natural resources, pay attention to other alternatives such as tourism, apparently is necessary.

Despite the fact that there are considerable data about the multiple types of ecologies and their importance in the various life stages of valuable fauna and flora species available, their knowledge about diversity of ecologies, range, distribution of ecologies, and their ecological characteristics is negligible. In addition, according to the existing criteria and standards and resources and reserves management, implementing the programs which protect the local settlement and sensitive and vulnerable ecologies will be delayed, and it will be impossible to evaluate their condition without the availability of maps which are based on the geographical information

  • Adaptation and Mitigation for Meeting the Climate Change Through Urban Plans: Assessing Urban Development Plans of Tehran, Iran
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 21 May 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202105.0500.v1 Article Adaptation and Mitigation for meeting the Climate Change through Urban Plans: Assessing Urban Development Plans of Tehran, Iran Farhad Feizi * Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Art, Tehran, Iran. * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Climate change has emerged as one of the defining issues of the early 21st century. It is now more certain than ever and poses a serious threat to sustainable urban development. Climate change has many destructive effects on cities. Land subsidence, rising air pollutants, severe storms, dust and water scarcity are just some effects of this phenomenon in the urban area of Tehran. Urban management must be prepared to deal with these effects and adopt policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change. One of these tools in urban planning is urban development plans. The plans can have a great impact on controlling and counteracting with the effects of climate change. In this re- search, using content analysis method, 6 dimensions and 31 indicators have been used to evaluate 8 city and region development plans of Tehran from the view of reflecting the effects of climate change. Indicators were scored after studying the content of the plans. Findings indicate that among the reviewed plans, the second and third five-year development plans of Tehran with 61.9% and 61.3% as the highest rate and plan to reduce air pollution in Tehran and the transportation master plan with 20.6% and 23.2%, respectively have the least attention to the effects of climate change.

Associate Prof. Climatology, Semnan Brach, Islamic Azad University, Semnan, Iran. 2. Assistant Prof. Geography & Urban Planning, Art University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran. Received: 21 November 2016 Accepted: 27 September 2017 Abstract Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the ecotourism development strategies in Chahardangeh District of Sari to provide an appropriate image of the current state, and to help identify (external and internal) factors effective in the regional tourism. Moreover, the study was set out to come up with appropriate applicable strategies for ecotourism development. Method: The study was conducted in a descriptive-analytical method and data was collected by library research and field-work (questionnaires, observation, interviews). Findings: The total score of internal factors and external factors were 2.51 and 2.57 respectively. This demonstrated that the management of ecotourism activities with regard to internal and external factors is in a favorable, and higher than moderate state, and it is also in an aggressive mode, but the figures obtained are very close to other strategies, which will change if there is no proper planning. Practical implications: In order to develop ecotourism in Chahardangeh District and enjoy its benefits, in the first place, the local community needs to receive the training necessary for ecotourism management and development; then, they should gain access to essential facilities required for ecotourism management, and they should encourage public participation.

In a total of 24 species from 14 genera (including Phloeocharis MANNERHEIM, Bryophacis REITTER, Ischnosoma STEPHENS, Lordithon THOMSON, Mycetoporus MANNERHEIM, Sepedophilus GISTEL, Tachinus GRAVENHORST, Tachyporus GRAVENHORST, Aleochara GRAVENHORST, Atheta THOMSON, Myrmecopora SAULCY, Leptusa KRAATZ, Euryalea MULSANT & REY, Oxypoda MANNERHEIM) and 3 subfamilies (including, Phloeocharinae, Tachyporinae, Aleocharinae) are listed in this paper. Key words: Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Tachyporiane Group, Fauna, Iran. Introduction Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) is one of the largest families of beetles, with over 46,000 species known worldwide (NEWTON et al. 2001). Rove beetles are known from every type of habitat that beetles occur in, and their diets include just about everything except the living tissues of higher plants. Most rove beetles are predators of insects and other kinds of invertebrates, living in forest leaf litter and similar kinds of decaying plant mat- ter. They are also commonly found under stones, and around freshwater margins.

Iran ABSTRACT In this paper, the strong motion accelerograms of October 17, 2009, Tehran-Ray earthquake (MW = 4.0) of south of Tehran were analyzed. (i) Using derived SH-wave spectral data, at first the parameters (long period spectral level), f (corner Wo c frequency) and Q(f) (frequency dependent, average shear wave quality factor), appropriate for the best-fit Brune w-2 spectrum of this event were estimated. Then a non-linear least square analysis of the SH-wave spectral data was performed to provide objectively approximate near field estimates of the strike, dip and rake of the causative fault. Based on this analysis, the first fault plane solution has been presented for this event, which may be related to Eyvanaki fault closed to Tehran. Keywords: Near field estimates of the strike, dip and rake of the causative fault of the 2009 The 2009 Ray-Tehran Ray-Tehran earthquake are 292o, 36o, and 59o, respectively.
