Despite efforts to prevent the spread of the disease, cases continue worldwide. In Iran, the disease usually occurs in children under 10 years. In the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment, the mortality rate is 95–100%. The main objective of this study was to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of visceral leishmaniasis as well as its correlation with climatic factors for determining high-risk areas in an endemic focus in northwestern Iran.

The spatiotemporal changes of LAI were assessed throughout Ardabil Province—a host of relevant plant communities within the critical ecoregion of a semi- arid climate. In a comparative study, novel data from Google Earth Engine (GEE) was tested against traditional ENVI measures to provide LAI estimations. Moreover, it is of important practical significance for institutional networks to quantitatively and accurately estimate LAI, at large areas in a short time, and using appropriate baseline vegetation indices. Therefore, LAI was characterized for ecoregions of Ardabil Province using remote sensing indices extracted from Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI), including the Enhanced Vegetation Index calculated in GEE (EVIG) and ENVI5.3 Citation: Andalibi, L.; Ghorbani, A.; software (EVIE), as well as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index estimated in ENVI5.3 software Moameri, M.; Hazbavi, Z.; Nothdurft, (NDVIE).

  • Host Attitudes Toward Tourism
    Journal of Tourismology, Vol.2, No.1 Host attitudes toward tourism: A study of Sareyn Municipality and local community partnerships in therapeutic tourism Hamira Zamani-Farahani1 (Astiaj Tourism Consultancy & Research Centre, Iran) Abstract This study investigates residents’ perceptions of tourism development in a small tourist destination in northwest Iran named Sareyn. This city is famous for its thermal springs and therapeutic tourism. Tourism in this destination is managed by the municipality and local community with limited intervention by the National Tourism Organization. The study’s findings show that even though local people strongly support current and further tourism development, they feel ambivalent about the impacts of tourism. It is concluded that strengthening the cooperation with the National Tourism Organization and taking advantage of a tourism expert’s assistance are required to ensure the sustainability of tourism development. Keywords: tourism development, public sector, tourism attitudes, impacts of tourism, thermal (spa) tourism, Sareyn (Iran) Introduction Tourism is a multidimensional, multifaceted activity which touches many lives and many different economic activities (Cooper, Fletcher, Fyall, Gilbertd & Wanhill, 2008). Tourism may create substantial economic benefits for host countries through contributions to government revenues and the generation of employment and business opportunities (Andereck, Valentine, Knopf & Vogt, 2005). However, tourism should be managed in a sustainable way to benefit present and future generations. There is evidence that residents of the countries that attract tourists hold diverse opinions about development in their regions. Understanding the level of satisfaction, the needs, and the expectations of the local community is an essential factor for the success of any form of tourism development (Jennings, 2001).

  • GIS Modeling of Climate Change Impact on Saffron Water Requirement (The Case of Ardabil Province)
    Ukrainian Journal of Ecology Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, 2017, 7(4), 255–262, doi: 10.15421/2017_114 ORIGINAL ARTICLE GIS Modeling of Climate Change Impact on Saffron Water Requirement (the case of Ardabil Province) Vahid Ashrafi Department of Agriculture, Parsabad Moghan Branch, Islamic Azad University Parsabad Moghan, Iran, E-mail; [email protected] Submitted: 30.10.2017. Accepted: 14.12.2017 In recent decades, climate change in Iran has led to the introduction of specific plants that have less water requirement than policymakers. Saffron cultivation has a long history in Iran and saffron was ranked as one of these figures on the agenda of policymakers. Here we presented the evaluation of Climate Change Impact on Saffron Water Requirement by GIS Modeling in Ardabil Provincel. We spot periods 1992-2017 and 2017-2040 as base and future period, respectively. For CCCSN, the data from five global climate models (GCMs) from the CGCM3T47 archive were selected that cover three ‘Representative Concentration Pathways’ (RCPs) scenarios. Potential evapotranspiration is estimated by Torrent White method. The accuracy of models at base period was determined by evaluation criteria, such as the RMSE, R2. Results showed that accuracy of CGCM3T47 model on A1B scenario was higher than other AOGCM models which used on base term. Also, it illustrated that water requirement will rise in all capable regions of state on 2040. In universal, average of addition of water requirement is 67, where in Germi, capital of state, we will have maximum variations by 95 mm ascension for the year 2040. Also, pole of production saffron in state, Bilasvar will have 40 mm ascension in saffron water requirement.
