Hence, the trend of spatial establishment of population in the region has been considered through population absorption pattern of urban and rural settlements of the region and new towns position. The research method is descriptive-analytical. Results show that the structure of management and ORIGINAL ARTICLE Received 15 Jun. 2014 15 Jun. Received planning of Tehran metropolitan area in the organization of region’s population establishment hasn’t 2014 10 Jul. Accepted solidarity and coordination. Population settlement plans in Tehran metropolitan area which has been implemented in the framework of new towns plan has acted in an abstract space without paying attention to policy making and integrated planning for development of other physical elements such as industrial activity centers, communication network and public services and utilities of metropolitan area has acted. This matter has caused that regardless of considerable capacity making in planned new towns, these centers don’t play important role in organization of population establishment in the region. -

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens. -

J*., Nohegar, A. and Bouzari, S. Graduate Faculty of Environment, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Received: 18.08.2017 Accepted: 31.01.2018 ABSTRACT: As the largest service industry in the world, tourism plays a special role in sustainable development. Geomorphic tourism is known to be a segment of this industry with lower environmental impact and underlying causes that explain lower demand; therefore, it is essential to study, identify, assess, plan, and manage natural tourist attractions. As such, the present study assesses the ability of geomorphological landforms of Haraz watershed, one of the major tourism areas of Iran. In this regard, the features of geomorphologic landforms, including Mount Damavand, the Damavand Icefall, Shahandasht Waterfall, Larijan Spa, and Deryouk Rock Waterfall in different parts of the Haraz watershed have been compared from the standpoint of geotourism features. To assess these landforms, geological maps, topographic and aerial photos, satellite imagery, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and data field have been used as research tools. Evaluation results demonstrate that the average of scientific values in these landforms’ catchment (with 0.76 points) has been greater than the average of other values. These high ratings show the landforms’ potentials to be informative to those examining them for the purpose of education as well as tourist attraction. -
Improving Performance Criteria in the Water Resource Systems Based on Fuzzy Approach
Water Resources Management https://doi.org/10.1007/s11269-020-02739-6 Improving Performance Criteria in the Water Resource Systems Based on Fuzzy Approach Mohammad H. Golmohammadi1 & Hamid R. Safavi1 & Samuel Sandoval-Solis2 & Mahmood Fooladi1 Received: 28 July 2020 /Accepted: 6 December 2020/ # The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract Reliability, resilience, and vulnerability (RRV) have been widely used as the performance criteria of a water supplyO system in the studies conducted over the last three decades. This study attempts to modify thenly traditional for method reading commonly applied to estimate these criteria using fuzzyDo logic therebyn the performance criteria of the points with the threshold and intermediate values are more accurately estimated. Traditional methods (RRV-Fixed) of estimating these criteria are based on the fixed threshold values to represent the functionality of a water supply system, using a binary system to identify the periods a system fails to supply the waterot demands. dowload The employment of this binary system may be taken into account as a weakness of the evaluating system, especially when water portion met is close to the threshold values. The present study develops a new method named RRV-Fuzzy, to ameliorate the weaknesses of the traditional RRV-Fixed estimating system.The method is designated as “Fuzzy Performance Criteria” built upon the traditional RRV formulae with improvements made to their structures using fuzzy membership functions. The efficiency of the proposed method is verified via implemen- tation on two case studies including a theoretical and a real-world water basin. -

PROTESTS and REGIME SUPPRESSION in POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN Saeid Golkar
THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY n OCTOBER 2020 n PN85 PROTESTS AND REGIME SUPPRESSION IN POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN Saeid Golkar Green Movement members tangle with Basij and police forces, 2009. he nationwide protests that engulfed Iran in late 2019 were ostensibly a response to a 50 percent gasoline price hike enacted by the administration of President Hassan Rouhani.1 But in little time, complaints Textended to a broader critique of the leadership. Moreover, beyond the specific reasons for the protests, they appeared to reveal a deeper reality about Iran, both before and since the 1979 emergence of the Islamic Republic: its character as an inherently “revolutionary country” and a “movement society.”2 Since its formation, the Islamic Republic has seen multiple cycles of protest and revolt, ranging from ethnic movements in the early 1980s to urban riots in the early 1990s, student unrest spanning 1999–2003, the Green Movement response to the 2009 election, and upheaval in December 2017–January 2018. The last of these instances, like the current round, began with a focus on economic dissatisfaction and then spread to broader issues. All these movements were put down by the regime with characteristic brutality. © 2020 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
