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. -

The Caspian Horse of Iran
THE CASPIAN HORSE OF IRAN by Louise Firouz PREFACE Several years ago word spread that a new breed of horse, like a miniature Arabian. had been found on the shores of the Caspian in Iran. In 1965 five Caspian ponies were brought to Louise Firouz in Tehran for riding by her children. Louise Firouz was born in Washington, graduated at Cornell where she studied animal husbandry. classics, and English. In ) '157 she married Narcy Firouz and moved to Tehran where she is occupied in farming and raising horses. Following the arrival of the five Caspians, a three-year survey was begun to search for more of these horses. She covered part of an area from Astara to Pahlevi-Dej located east of the Caspian. About :0 ponies are estimated to live between Babol and Amol (Map 1). Six mares and five stallions were brought to the breeding farm at Norouzabad near Tehran. In 1966 a stud book was established to encourage purity 'Of the strain. Dr. Hosseinion, Tehran Veterinary College, regularly inspects foals and adults. The similarity between the Caspian and the horses pulling the chariot of Darius and the ponies on a bas-relief at Persepolis is significant. The above has been summarized from the illustrated article by Louise Firouz in Animals, June, 1970 (see Bibliography). My interest in horses ancient and modem stems from the Equidtze excavated at Kish, eight miles east of Babylon, by the Field Museum-Oxford University Joint Expedition to Iraq, 1923-34. In 1928 I was one of the Staff members of this Expedition under Field Director Louis Charles Watelin. -

Therefore, attention to villages means life revival and return to Mother Nature. This research investigates three human development indices, namely life expectancy, literacy and per capita income. From 19 residential villages of Kelardasht County, three villages (Tabareso, Telochal and Kolmeh) were selected based on random sampling and studied. According to environmental and geographical capacities and the antiquity of these settlements, it was expected to have a high level of human development in villages, but due to the lack of management and rural planning, many changes happened in physical, economic and social structure, which made it hard to return to an optimal status. As a result, based on ecological condition of the region and national development planning, it was decided that the “multiple” rural tourism approach would be the best to promote human development. This research aims to analyze human development of the study villages according to global indices. The nature of present study is descriptive and analytical by means of library and field data. Key words: Literacy % Rural settlements % Rural planning % Human development % Life expectancy INTRODUCTION Nevertheless, it has been proven that many of these strategies have no comprehensive application for the rural In the process of globalization of villages, the third atmospheres. -

An Overview on the Basis of Urban Planning and Social Life of Safavid Cities
Intl. J. Humanities (2016) Vol. 23 (3): (1-13) An Overview on the basis of Urban Planning and Social Life of Safavid Cities Abed Taghavi 1, Hassan Hashemi Zarjabad 2, Maryam Asgari Veshareh 3 Received: 2016/3/2 Accepted: 2016/10/11 Abstract In the Safavid era, cities played a decisive role in the activities of urban social life, especially with regard to commodity, distribution and exchanging system between urban and rural society as well as defining the role of organizations in the commercial process. This paper is based on historical analyzing method where the authors could utilize primary sources to study social and economic states of urban life in Persian cities during Safavid. Farah Abad, Isfahan and Bandar Abbas in North, Center and South of Iran have been examined. These cities were selected considering their functional nature as producer, industrial (processor) and exporter centers. The outcome of the study shows that the cities founded and developed during Safavid, specially on Silk Road, during the reign of Shah Abbas I (996- 1038 AH), played the role of producer, distributer and exporter in north, center and south of Iran. Based on their functional capacities, cities of that era are divided into three types: producer of raw materials, intermediary and processing, and finally exporter (port) cities. The analysis of economic relations of those cities indicates that the king had despotic monopolization of all aspects of the cities where the urban economy deeply on agricultural economy of countryside.
