  • Analytical Report on the Status of the Target Villages, Nov 2014.Pdf
    Analytical Report on the Status of the target Villages November 30th, 2014 Introduction Saffron value chain development program has been implemented since the end of year 2013 with the aim of promoting production and obtaining the maximum value added of saffron by the beneficiaries of this industry in various sectors of agriculture, processing and export of saffron with the cooperation of Agriculture Bank of Iran through United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). In the agricultural and production sector, according to studies carried out, there is no optimum performance and efficiency in comparison with the international standards and norms; in addition the beneficiaries of this sector do not obtain appropriate value from activities made in this sector. To this end, in one of the executive parts of this program, under improving the efficiency of saffron production, 20 villages in two provinces of southern and Razavi Khorasan were selected. The Characteristics of these villages, being as the center as well as being well known regarding the production of saffron, were the reasons of choosing these areas. Also, in all these villages, local experts and consultants, who have been trained by the executive project team and have been employed under this program will make technical advices to the farmers and hold different training courses for them. The following report is part of the data collected and analyzed by these consultants in 16 selected villages up to the reporting date. These reports, training courses, and technical advices, are an attempt to improve the manufacturing process, and increase production efficiency and product quality in the production of saffron.

  • An Emerging Picture of the Neolithic of Northeast Iran
    IranicaAntiqua, vol. LI, 2016 doi: 10.2143/IA.51.0.3117827 AN EMERGING PICTURE OF THE NEOLITHIC OF NORTHEAST IRAN BY Kourosh ROUSTAEI (Iranian Center for Archaeological Research) Abstract: For many years the Neolithic of the northeastern Iranian Plateau was acknowledged by materials and data recovered from the three sites of Yarim Tappeh, Turang Tappeh and Sang-e Chakhmaq, all excavated in the 1960-1970s. In the last two decades an increasing mass of information based on archaeologi- cal fieldworks and reappraisal of archival materials have been built up that is going to significantly enhance our understanding on the Neolithic period of the region. The overwhelming majority of the information is obtained from the Shahroud area and the Gorgan plain, on the south and north of the Eastern Alborz Mountains respectively. So far, sixty two Neolithic sites have been identified in the region. This paper briefly reviews the known Neolithic sites and outlines the various implications of the newly emerging picture of the period for the northeast region of Iran. Keywords: Neolithic, northeast region, Sang-e Chakhmaq, Shahroud, Gorgan plain, Jeitun Culture Introduction Since Robert Braidwood’s pioneering investigations in the Zagros Mountains in 1960s (1961), western Iran has been the interest area for scholars who searching the early evidence of domestications. The follow- ing decades witnessed a series of well-planned works (e.g. Hole et al. 1969) in the region that considerably contributed to our understanding on early stages of the village life. Renewal of the relevant investigations in the Zagros region in recent years points the significance of the region on the incipient agriculture in the Near East (e.g.

In order to, the aim of current research is assessment of regional development using taxonomy model in the Razavi Khorasan province of Iran. Applied methodology is based on descriptive- analytical methods. we have used of numerical taxonomy as an most common approaches to categorize of development level in the Khorasan Razavi cities. Results show that Torbat- E- Jam (0.5) city has the highest level of development in case study region, while Fariman (0.15) has the lowest level. Finally, in the end of this presented some solve ways. KEY WORDS: Urban Development, Regional Development, Razavi Khorasan, Taxonomy I. INTRODUCTION Regional development is a broad term but can be seen as a general effort to reduce regional disparities by supporting (employment and wealth-generating) economic activities in regions. In the past, regional development policy tended to try to achieve these objectives by means of large-scale infrastructure development and by attracting inward investment.

Abstract The present research has examined petiole anatomical characteristics of 10 Nepeta species (Lamiaceae family) growing in the Razavi, Northern and southern Khorassan provinces (NE) Iran. For this, cross sections of their petioles were prepared and stained by differential staining. In petiole internal structure, some differences such as the outline shape of petioles cross section, the shape of epidermis cells and vessels were noticed. Finally, based on above characteristics an identification key of studied Nepeta species was prepared. Keywords: petiole, Lamiaceae, internal structure, Nepeta, vessel 120 Seyedeh Mona Mahdavi Shahri et al. Introduction The genus Nepeta L., belongs to Lamiaceae, [2] comprises about 70 species in Iran [6, 4]. “This genus can be used to influence moods, its largely recognized as more of a relaxant than a stimulant. Also, Nepeta uses for Stomach ailments including colic, nausea, and motion sickness, Arthritis and exertion pain, Fever reducing, Anxiety and nervousness treatment, Headaches, Sleep disorders Amenorrhea” [7].
