12463617646180000.Pdf In The Name Of God Foreword Without incorporating women’s abilities that make up half of the country’s population, it is impossible to accomplish the goals of sustainable development. Sustainable development is a multi-dimensional practice that involves different economic, social, political, cultural, and environmental aspects. Considering the role of village women within their families and societies, their contributions are key parts in development. Paving the way for training women in order to build self-confidence, introduction of appropriate employment according to bi-cultural needs of each village, educating women with current knowledge in prevention of land destruction, sustainable usage of natural resources, protection of environment, access to capital toward creating jobs, partaking in decision making, participation in planning meetings on provincial and national levels are all key aims of this project in regards to enhancing women’s active participation in matters of development. Therefore, the significant and effective role of women in villages in carrying culture and values to future generations are undeniable. Creation of women’s local organizations and their presence alongside men have increased their participation in decision making, planning and evaluating results for the welfare of their villages. Among such organizations there are women’s rural cooperatives, for example in Rameh and Farvan in Semnan province, Hablehroud project. The women’s rural cooperative of Rameh was selected as the top provincial cooperative in the agricultural field in the country in 2014. MENARID’s goal in creating 24 types of compatible occupations with the environment, and the employment of more than 800 women in rural areas by 2015 are effective examples in the field of women participation and empowerment. Nevertheless, society is yet to believe in women’s empowerment. It’s crucial to emphasis on these roles and to foresee the necessary education, to promote and increase such beliefs in provincial communities.

    2 Fall 2014 Quarterly Newsletter No.25 In The Name Of God First Words Indigenous knowledge, a solution for compatibility with environmental threats Indigenous knowledge is a part of each nation’s capital that consists of their local beliefs, methods, tools and information.Through this knowledge, various nations have sought their livelihood from their environment during several centuries (Emadi & Abbasi, 1999). Agriculture & livestock knowledge, is a knowledge that is experienced by farmers and ranchmen and transfer it to other generations. History shows that indigenous agriculture knowledge will be removed gradually and the rest is experimented. Such knowledge includes the smart and precise observations on plants, animals, climate, soil, pests and classified systems that are fully compatible with local conditions. One of the requirements of indigenous knowledge is new limitation and failure. The failures are happened due to different reasons including lack of indigenous knowledge and experience. This inattention may be derived from social factors as proud of holders of new knowledge against holders of indigenous knowledge or imagination of new knowledge holders from indigenous knowledge as one that belongs to the ancients. The characteristics of indigenous knowledge for sustainable development are as follow: compatibility with plenty of work force and low demand of capital, dynamism, local full adaptability, accepting the various productive systems, emphasis on conservation of resources and avoiding risk, logical decision making, flexible strategies for emergency cases ( drought & famine) simple,innovative and intelligent agriculture system that is proper for simultaneous cultivation of several products, complete combination of productive methods with social bodies, flexibility & capability of high entrepreneurship.(Emadi & Abbasi, 1999).

Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Abstract Rural development can be regarded as the process of empowerment and promotion of life in the context of quality of life and the environment, efficiency and economic self-sufficiency and the maintenance and improvement of environmental quality in rural areas (Zmanipoor, 1994). There are some approaches applying tourism as a strategy for rural areas. These approaches, according to the increasing destruction of villages and agriculture, are trying to offer new strategies to revitalize rural areas by creating complementary activities or transform these areas due to their natural and human resources and the only way to rehabilitate the villages is to offer partial programs and strategies to utilize natural and human resources and could make income and increase the level of welfare of the people’s lives in rural areas (Holland & Dixey, 2003). From the 70s of the twentieth century, tourism activities in rural areas have been increased dramatically in all parts of the developed countries around the world which played a key role on development of rural areas that were lagging in terms of social and economic aspects (Perales, 2002).

  • Article an Annotated Checklist of Iranian Mesostigmata (Acari)
    Persian Journal of Acarology, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 63–158. Article An annotated checklist of Iranian Mesostigmata (Acari), excluding the family Phytoseiidae Shahrooz Kazemi*& Asma Rajaei Department of Biodiversity, Institute of Science and High Technology and Environmental Sciences, Graduate University of Advanced Technology, Kerman, Iran; e-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract The present checklist provides the results of a survey of collected and identified mesostigmatic mites in Iran (excluding the family Phytoseiidae) including 348 species belonging to 128 genera, 39 families, and 17 superfamilies of which one genus (Trachyuropoda Berlese, 1888) is a new record for Iranian mite fauna. It is annotated with some corrections to specific identities which have previously reported by Iranian literature and with known geographical and habitats distributions in Iran. Suborders Sejida and Trigynaspida comprise three and seven recorded species belonging to two and six genera, respectively, and Monogynaspida (except the Phytoseiidae) with 338 species belonging to 120 genera. No species of the cohorts Heatherellina and Heterozerconina has been recorded from Iran yet. Key words: Checklist, Acari, Mesostigmata, Monogynaspida, Trigynaspida, Sejida, Iran. Introduction The Mesostigmata is a large, diverse and cosmopolitan assemblage of parasitiform mites. Most of them are free-living predators, and many species are parasites or symbionts of mammals, birds, reptiles, or arthropods (Walter & Proctor 1999). Lindquist et al. (2009) divided the order into three suborders (Monogynaspida, Trigynaspida and Sejida). There are about 12000 species belonging to approximately 70 families which grouped into 26 superfamilies (Walter & Proctor 1999; Lindquist et al. 2009). Iran is the 18th largest country in the world with an aera of 1,648,195 km2.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The major Quaternary faults in the Tehran-Semnan region can be classified based on their strikes into three sets: northeast-southwest, northwest-southeast and east-west. In this paper, we use a model to evaluate fault movement potential (FMP). Their theoretical model is based on the rela- tionship between fault geometrical characteristics and regional tectonic stress field. The results show that The Mosha, Emam Zadeh Davood and Pourlcan-Vardij fault zones have high FMP (0.9 or 90%) and the Parchin fault zone has very low FMP (0.0 - 0.1) in the area. Keywords Quaternary Faults, Semnan, Tehran, FMP, Iran 1. Introduction Seismicity is closely related to active Quaternary faults. This attracts many researchers to investigate the quan- titative relationships between them. As a new parameter, FMP is defined to quantify earthquake risk along ac- tive faults by [1].

In December 2015, the state-run ISNA news agency cited Falahati, an official at the presidential directorate of Women and Family Affairs, who acknowledged that “compared to the countries in the region such as Azerbaijan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, Iran ranks lower, but from an economic and political perspective it ranks even lower than Chad.” He added: In the UAE, women's participation in the parliament is 18 per cent while their participation on the ministerial level is 17 per cent. In Saudi Arabia, women's parliamentary participation is 20 per cent and in Pakistan is 21 per cent. Whereas in the current Iranian parliament, there are only 17 women among 290 members of parliament, making up a mere 5.8% participation for women.
