MA student of executive management, department management of payamnoor university, Tehran, Iran. ([email protected]) Arid and semi-arid lands are faced with water stress. In turn of the millennium, many semi-arid and arid regions of the world, including Iran are facing water problems. Shortage of water resources and the mismatch between needs and available resources, the global management of water systems has encountered serious challenges. One of the successful solutions to problems in many parts of the world, experience, participation of water users and other stakeholders in water resource management, which has become imperative. Strategies require a realistic understanding of the surrounding environment. Outside, joined the opportunities available to companies and organizations, and also in the direction they make threats. In this study, in order to derive strategies for in management of water resources, SWOT strategy formulation technique which is used by internal and external factors affecting watershed groups, mining strategy and quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix using the group selects strategies. For this reason, the weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats of the use of experts and experts in the field of water and a review of studies in the field and brainstorming and group decision-making and the extraction rate and rank the importance of each of the factors in evaluation matrix were determined. According to the results, the strengths and overcome their weaknesses and water resources with more threats than opportunities facing. The Strategies Group WT (defensive strategy) selected in this way were identified as strategies to implement them, possibility of achieving the goals and vision of providing water.

INTRODUCTION Occurrence of water management may be time to purpose, each of these models Havb concept of start living humans and agriculture is linked by special insights and techniques and follow specific the river. Bushehr province has a warm and dry instructions. Among them, the matrix SWOT climate, structure of the Achaemenid and Sassanid strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats blue traces represent the people and government assessment system, it is more common and more of the water. So that available resources are not popular (Setbrok Hill, 1997). This is a new tool for only supplying the needs of the present performance analysis and strategy formulation, generation, but also for the future generations will design and evaluation strategies are used (Nelson, not remain. One of the requirements of today's 2001). Berneroidr (2002) believes that strategic water sector, in close coordination between the planning is necessary to develop a final strategy, different sectors of water use such as agriculture, all agents as part of a strategic planning process to industry, etc. optimize the use of available water be considered in the context of a SWOT analysis. resources. Water is one of the biggest challenges of SWOT method to check all internal and external this century that could be the source of many of factors affecting the basin strategies tailored to the the developments. Reducing the supply and the region and contribute to the sustainable demand in the world has undoubtedly led to development of water resources in the region will vacuum creating crisis. This imbalance in the local, extract. Among the applications of this technique regional, national or global dimension is inhibited in the field of water resources management can be only by the set of management guidelines. The done by Galkv - Ayala et al (2011) noted which human need to create a series of coordinated utilizes the SWOT method to derive strategies in measures to develop sustainable admitted to create integrated management of water resources in a balance between sources and uses of water Mozambique has the results of this study indicate (Khan, Voss, Yu, & Michael, 2014). Complex the need for strategic management by a decisions multilateral coordination, interaction and combination of factors is involved in the balance between costs and resources to create opportunities and threats SWOT group (Rehana & components and the corresponding changes of Mujumdar, 2014). Due to the application of SWOT direction, makes clear the need for management strategy formulation in water resources and planning. However, evidence suggests that management can provide acceptable results, in this 98% of waste water through human resources and research the strategic management of water mismanagement of water resources and the correct resources Bushehr province that always faces a pattern of consumption is caused according to the shortage of water resources, using this method to normal position Bushehr province management of derive strategies is proportional to the area. In this water resources is very important (Comair et al., regard, the method of brainstorming is a group 2014). Strategic approach in the management of decision-making procedure and to achieve the water resources, based on the total views, policies, vision of the area has been derived factors SWOT structures and systems are effective in this context, matrix and then index and rank the importance of the possibilities of sudden occurrence of a crisis these factors. Quantitative Strategic Planning and prevent future and contributes to the Matrix strategies using the best-known group and sustainable development of resources. Strategic strategies will be extracted (Koch, Vögele, management is the strategic approach put forward Kaltofen, Grossmann, & Grünewald, 2014). step. A strategic approach to its meaning, is to build on positive factors in order to be able to confront and eliminate the negative factors are GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE (Davari, 2004).

    Archive of SID 1 "Gūr-e Doḵtar: Parsi Art architecture style in Dashtestan" Hamed.Sharifian History teacher of Islamic Azad University / Majlesi branch. [email protected] Abstract Most of the art lovers and specialists of art history adore Parsi artist’s skills. Considerations of the history of architecture in "Parsi" style could instruct us towards the origin of this architectural style. The ancient "Dashtestan" region was residential from the old ages and considered as one of the bases of seafaring and cruising of "Achaemenian" government in "Pars sea" ( Persian Gulf ) in Acheamenian era. Parsi style architecture works are seen a lot in this region and "Gūr-e Doḵtar" is one of those examples there have been different views stated about this exclusive building. Some people regard this building as a tomb and some others consider it as temple. Although everybody agrees on relating this building to Achaemenian era, but there are no similar views and agreements about its precise age. Consideration of the architecture of this building shows that Dashtestan was the origin of Achaemenian civilization and studying this building that belongs to one of the ancestors of "Cyrus the great" (Cyrus the great ) makes us acquainted with the transient stage of the Art architecture of "Elamid" style to "Parsi" Art architecture style. Key words: Art architecture, Parsi style, Achaemenians, Dashtestan, Gūr-e Doḵtar. www.SID.ir Archive of SID 2 Gūr-e Doḵtar: Parsi architecture 1 in Dashtestan I. Introduction There are a lot of historical indications from Achaemenian era in Dashtestan region that include over 20 various buildings, namely "Sang-siah" (Black stone) palace, "Bardak-siah" (Black Barak) palace, "Charkhab" palace, "Tappeh-ee" (Hill) palace, "Shahouie" garden , "Maze-ee Shahriari" (Royal Maze-ee) palace, "Borg" (Tower) palace, "Mill" (Minaret) palace, and some others, but Gūr-e Doḵtar is the most prominent one among them.

From correlation analysis, F was found to be positively related to total 2– 2+ 2+ hardness, noncarbonate hardness, SO4 , Ca , and Mg , but there appeared to be no significant association between the F concentration and other parameters. Keywords: Dashtestan, Iran; Fluoride correlation; Groundwater; Inorganic constituents. INTRODUCTION Fluoride (F) in drinking water is usually the main source of F intake, and excessive consumption of F can cause a wide range of adverse health effects.1-5 For this reason, it is important to determine the F concentration of groundwater and its correlation with other drinking water parameters. In this study, we examined the relationship between the F content of groundwater and other inorganic constituents such as pH, noncarbonate hardness (NCH), carbonate – 2– – 2+ 2+ hardness (CH), total hardness (TH), Cl , SO4 , NO3 , Ca , and Mg in villages of the Dashtestan area of Bushehr Province, Iran.

The maximum total lengths were 171 mm in females (168) and 188 mm in males (156). Age determination based on scale and opercle readings shows that the population has 4 age classes. The growth of both sexes was isometric (b= 2.89 males, b= 2.93 females). The highest growth rate was observed between age 1 and 2 in both sexes. Growth parameters of the von Bertalanffy equation were computed for females and males as: L∞ = 164.14, W∞ =117.11¸ t0 = -1.16, K= 0.189 and L∞=168.16, W∞=116.28, t0=-1.14, K= 0.213 respectively.
