  • Landslide Zonation in Fasham Area of Tehran Province (Iran) Abstract Introduction
    LANDSLIDE ZONATION IN FASHAM AREA OF TEHRAN PROVINCE (IRAN) Shadi Khoshdoni Farahani, Assoc.Prof.Dr.Md Nor Kamarudin, Dr. Mojgan Zarei Nejad Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia 81300 Skudai, Johor, Malaysia Email: [email protected] Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia 81300 Skudai, Johor , Malaysia Email: [email protected] GIS Center, Solvegatan 12, 223 62 Lund, Lund University, Sweden Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Tehran province which encircles the capital of the Islamic Republic of Iran is highly momentous from the politico- socio-economic-cultural aspects. This significance has instigated the implementation of the geological, geographical and climatological studies in this state in a comprehensive and precise manner. Fasham district in the north eastern part of Tehran province which is a geologically and geographically area has been opted out in this research for semi- detailed studies. the case studied in this research is the landslide in Fasham area. Iran is one of the highly landslide prone countries due to its particular geological, topographical and climatological conditions. Heavy financial lost are reported each year due to the landslide occurrence. The transpiration of these landslides occasionally brings about other death tolls and financial lost originating from earthquakes. Some of the factors affecting this phenomenon are as follows: the alteration of the slope amplitude, geotechnical and litho logical circumstances, earthquake and trembling, tectonics motions, structural alterations, pluvial effects and snow thawing, the extermination of the vegetation, land utilization alteration. The zone under studied is prone to landslide due to various reasons such as possessing special geological conditions and special geographical position.

This area is a major part of Tehran province and according to geologic division is a minor part of Alborz zone. This area is under compressive stress and shortening that caused by Arabia – Eurasia Convergence. This situation has confirmed by dominant existence of folded structures and thrust fault system. We have investigated geologic hazards of Tehran area, because this area is the most strategic part of Iran. The major faults have been investigated and have not been found any evidences to existence of north and south Rey faults. In the other hand, active tectonic of this area has been investigated and Mosha fault has been introduced as the most active fault. The high seismic potential has been distinguished by integration of structural geology and active tectonic studies. The evaluation of movement potential of the main faults in the current tectonic regime shows the North Tehran fault has % 90 potential to movement. In addition the hazard potentials of landslides, settlements, volcanism and dams have been introduced. Finally, geologic hazard map has been prepared and has been divided to10 zones with one to four ranking of risk.

This makes the questions this book asks all the more salient: what is the place of illegal substances in the politics of modern Iran? How have drugs affected the formation of the Iranian state and its power dynamics? And how have governmental attempts at controlling and regulating illicit drugs affected drug consumption and addiction? By answering these questions, Maziyar Ghiabi suggests that the Islamic Republic’s image as an inherently conservative state is not only misplaced and inaccurate, but in part a myth. In order to dispel this myth, he skilfully combines ethnographic narratives from drug users, vivid field observations from ‘under the bridge’, with archival material from the pre- and post-revolutionary era, statistics on drug arrests and interviews with public officials. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/ 9781108567084.

    Journal of Religion and Theology Volume 1, Issue 1, 2017, PP 65-68 Holy Places, Crosses Water, Light and Plant Faeze Yazdanirostam MA Architect, Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch, Tehran, Iran *Corresponding Authors: Faeze Yazdanirostam, MA Architect, Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT As a testimony to history, the Mithrai religion came from the land of Iran so in the corner of the world, and the people of the year were in the realm of the religions of the world, which even some divine religions used to promote the new beliefs and gain universal acceptance of the rites and ways of it, Into holy places (synagogues, churches, etc.) in the new religion. Such transformations were observed in the holy places of Iran frequently. Therefore, two accounts of the Imam Zadeh of Tehran are examined, all of which bear signs of ancient beliefs: All of them are located on the altitudes of the Holy Alborz Dynasty. In the event of all of these, the water element will be seen as creek, Qanat, river, spring or waterfall. The surroundings of this Bekaa are surrounded by old gardens and trees, and then people adhere to the sanctuary of the long- standing trees of the Imam Zadeh. Also, the practice of burning candles and gems like other Imam Zadeh is also common here. In addition, the validity of a related story to some of these Imam Zadeh is a doubt. Despite all these cases, the proof of this transformation requires archaeological explorations to reach the signs of envy and clearer reasons.

    1 OIL DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN IRAN SINCE 1953 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Hossein Haghshenas, B.S. Denton, Texas August, 1982 Haghshenas, Hossein, Oil Development and Social Change in Iran Since 1953. Master of Sociology, August, 1982, 263 pp., 45 tables, bibliography, 109 titles. This study examines the relationship between oil develop- ment and social change in Iran. The research focused on the years since 1953 examining the economic structure through the five development plans which were the major vehicles of social transformation. Within this framework the importance of oil, industriali- zation, land reform,, the labor force, education and health are discussed. Demographic and stratification changes are covered such as changingpopulation patterns, migration, minorities, social classes, and the distribution of wealth. Cultural and social values are then treated with emphasis on the Shah and arms, social control and social behavior. The paper concludes: oil revenues were frequently squandered without real socio-economic benefit to the masses. Economic's mismanagement and rigid social control increases pressures in society causing the 1978 revolution.
