  • Upgrading the Women's Movement in Iran
    Upgrading the Women’s Movement in Iran: Through Cultural Activism, Creative Resistance, and Adaptability Meaghan Smead Samuels A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies University of Washington 2018 Committee: Kathie Friedman Sara Curran Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2018 Meaghan Smead Samuels 2 University of Washington Abstract Upgrading the Women’s Movement in Iran: Through Cultural Activism, Creative Resistance, and Adaptability Meaghan Smead Samuels Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Kathie Friedman Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the effects of the 2009 post- election state crackdown on the Iranian Women’s Movement. Varying narratives of how the crackdown affected women’s activism necessitate a better understanding as to how this social movement negotiates periods of repression. An examination of accounts and actions by women in Iran reveal this Movement to be fluid, adaptable, and resilient, utilizing different structures, strategies and tactics depending on the current political environment. This study demonstrates the ability of Iranian women to develop creative solutions for public engagement in repressive moments, including through everyday acts of resistance and by practicing cultural activism. Women in Iran work to transform culture in order to impel the state to make changes to discriminatory laws. Prevailing social movement theories help to explain some characteristics of the Iranian Women’s Movement, but a more complex model is required to account for dynamic gendered social movements in non-Western, authoritarian contexts.

Han River is the water source region of the middle route of South-to-North Water Diversion in China and the ecological projects were implemented since many years ago. In order to monitor the change of vegetation in Han River and evaluate the effect of ecological projects, it is needed to reveal the spatial-temporal change of the vegetation in the upper reach of Han River quantitatively. The study is based on MODIS/Terra NDVI remote sensing data, and analyzes the spatial-temporal changes of the NDVI in August from 2000 to 2016 at pixel scale in the upper reach of Han River Basin.

  • Study on Carrying Capacity of Resources in Danjiangkou Reservoir Area Based on GIS Technologies
    Study on Carrying Capacity of Resources in Danjiangkou Reservoir Area based on GIS Technologies Ke Liu, Yuhang Gan, Zhengyu Luo and Fanghong Ye Land Satellite Remote Sensing Application Center, Ministry of Natural Resources of P. R. China, Beijing, China Keywords: Carrying Capacity of Relative Resources, Sustainable Development, Mid-Route of the South-North Water Diversion Project, Danjiangkou Reservoir, GIS. Abstract: The environmental health and green development of the water source area of Mid-Route of the South-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) is not only essential for ensuring that “The clear water is sent to Beijing”, but also an important prerequisite for sustainable development of society and economy in the water source area. Based on national geographic survey data, basic surveying and mapping data and statistical yearbook data, this paper used the model of relative carrying capacity of resources to estimate and analyze the carrying capacity of relative natural resources (CCRNR), carrying capacity of relative economic resources (CCRER) and carrying capacity of relative resources (CCRR) and their spatial-temporal changes in the Danjiangkou Reservoir area of the water source area of the Mid-Route of SNWDP from 2009 to 2015 by Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies. The results were shown that: (1) CCRR increased significantly compared with that in 2009. However, CCRR in the study area was still overloaded in 2015. (2) CCRNR was rich, but decreased from 2009 to 2015. (3) CCRER was in a overloading state, which increased obviously from 2009 to 2015. The improvement of CCRER was the main reason for the sustainable growth of carrying capacity in the study area.
