ABSTRACT Background: Health care section as an important social part of a community plays a determining role in people’s health and therefore all people must equally and purposefully enjoy health services and facilities; failure in this regard may lead to unpleasant consequences. Methods: The research is both applied and analytical which ranks the counties of Sistan and Baluchestan province in terms of entitlement to health structural indicators in 2011. Thus, 15 health structural indicators were selected and data were collected from Statistical Center of Iran. Experts’ opinions and FAHP technique were used to weight the indicators. Finally the counties ranked by TOPSIS technique. Data were analyzed using Excel, Expert Choice, and LINGO. Findings: FAHP’s results showed that indicator of health house workers (Behvarz) in health centers was more important and dentist indicator less important than other indicators. Besides, TOPSIS technique showed that Zahedan, Zabol, and Iranshahr were the highest and Delgan, Zaboli, and Sib and Suran were the least entitled counties, respectively. Conclusion: Based on our findings, there seems to be a huge gap between the counties of the province in terms of their entitlement to health structural indicators. It is therefore suggested that authorities of the health section set the priorities according to the counties’ entitlement to the indicators to remove inequalities in the province.

Introduction study on the degree of development in Eastern Azerbaijan’s Counties by Health is one of the most fundamental rights of individuals which must means of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of be equally accessible for all people. Equality in health sector has Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and selection of 8 different dimensions including distribution of healthcare resources, healthcare indicators, the counties were ranked and inequalities were financing health services, and accessing health services and facilities identified [4]. Other studies in Golestan and Qazvin provinces revealed that have posed various issues for policymaking in the health section [1, huge gaps among the counties in term of structural health indicators [11, 2]. In developing countries like Iran, health inequality and imbalance 12]. A research in Belgium examined development in different parts of especially at regional levels is a major issue with unpleasant the country; it ranked various regions with 33 indicators of economy, consequences at all levels that may be considered as weaknesses of health, education, culture etc. by means of multivariate statistical governments leading to vast dissatisfaction in the society [3, 4].

Results lead to the "identification of nine and justice will lead to more social integrity, unity and social axes of socio-economic characterization, and the division of the contribution and less social stress [5]. Portuguese territory into four regions with differing degrees of Since health needs are mandatory, involuntary, and inevitable, failure development, reflecting the well-known asymmetry between coastal and to access health services will lead to impairment, premature mortality, inland zones"[13]. and backbreaking conditions in society and continuity of poverty-illness Fair entitlement to healthcare services must be considered as an and impairment cycle [6]. Establishing systems of health service inseparable part of development. In each social-political system and provision and providing appropriate care, both sufficient and on time geographical location, there are many differences in the health status and are among the necessities which secure individuals’ health and are accessibility of services for various groups and this is also true for mostly determined by governments; yet providing the best healthcare different geographical regions of a country [1, 14]. The goal of research in services is not enough and appropriate distribution and accessibility of the health section is to increase people’s health and fairness and equality the services are very important. Today, the rate of development of each in health services; thus, top planners and policymakers should be aware society is judged according to its people’s health quality, degree of fair of indicators and the quality of entitlement to facilities and services in distribution of health services in different parts of the society and also different parts of their country. Accordingly the present study was protection of disadvantaged people against factors harmful to the performed in order to rank the counties of Sistan and Baluchestan society’s health [1, 7-9]. province in respect to their entitlement to structural health indicators.

Email: [email protected] Received 26 July 2008; accepted 14 September 2008 Abstract: The 12-year period from 1967 to 1978 was a period of intense ornithological activity in Iran. The Ornithology Unit in the Department of the Environment carried out numerous surveys throughout the country; several important international ornithological expeditions visited Iran and subsequently published their findings, and a number of resident and visiting bird-watchers kept detailed records of their observations and submitted these to the Ornithology Unit. These activities added greatly to our knowledge of the status and distribution of birds in Iran, and produced many records of birds which had rarely if ever been recorded in Iran before. This paper gives details of all records known to the author of 92 species that were recorded as rarities in Iran during the 12-year period under review. These include 18 species that had not previously been recorded in Iran, a further 67 species that were recorded on fewer than 13 occasions, and seven slightly commoner species for which there were very few records prior to 1967. All records of four distinctive subspecies are also included. The 29 species that were known from Iran prior to 1967 but not recorded during the period under review are listed in an Appendix.

Zoological Museum & Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam PO Box 94766, 1090 GT Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS 2. Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, IRAN * Correspondence Author. Email: [email protected] Received 27 March 2009; accepted 7 October 2009 Abstract: Based on original literature reports covering the period 1860 –1969, details of 362 records of 102 bird species considered rare in Iran are presented. This fills a gap in knowledge of Iran’s birds from a period between research by Gmelin and Hablizl in the 1770s (reviewed by Mlikovsky 2008) and an overview of the observations of rare birds in Iran in the 1960s and 1970s (presented by Scott 2008). Attention is drawn to two new species for Iran (Eastern Marsh Harrier Circus spilonotus and Blue Whistling Thrush Myophonus caeruleus ). Published details validate the records of Light-bellied Brent Goose Branta hrota , Upland Buzzard Buteo hemilasius , Great Knot Calidris tenuirostris , and Oriental Cuckoo Cuculus saturatus , formerly considered as of dubious occurrence in Iran. Information on six species (Yellow-breasted Tit Cyanistes cyanus flavipectus , Falcated Duck Anas falcata , Indian Nightjar Caprimulgus asiaticus , Güldenstädt’s Redstart Phoenicurus erythrogaster , Cirl Bunting Emberiza cirlus and Eurasian Nutcracker Nucifraga caryocatactes) was considered insufficient or unreliable and the occurrence of these species in Iran has been rejected. We recommend that these species be omitted from the last revised checklist of the birds of Iran (Scott & Adhami 2006).

This study aimed to determine the measles incidence risk, to conduct spatial mapping of annual measles incidence, and to assess the transition threat in different districts of Iran. Methods: A historical cohort study with retrospective data was conducted. The measles surveillance data containing 14 294 cases suspected of having measles in Iran were analyzed during 2014-2016. WHO Measles Programmatic Risk Assessment Tool was applied to calculate and map the incidence of measles in each district, to determine the annual incidence rate, and to conduct spatial threat assessment risk. Threat assessment was measured based on factors influencing the exposure and transmission of measles virus in the population. The annual measles incidence rate and spatial mapping of incidence in each Iranian district was conducted by Measles Programmatic Risk Assessment Tool. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics in Excel 2013 and Arc GIS 10.3. Results: Of 14 294 suspected cases, 0.6% (CI 95%: 0.599-0.619) were identified as clinically compatible measles, 0.280 (CI 95%: 0.275-0.284) as confirmed rubella, 0.52% (CI 95%: 0.516-0.533) as epi-linked measles, 4.6% (CI 95%: 0.450-0.464) as lab-confirmed measles, and 94% (CI 95%: 93.93-94.11) were discarded.

  • Factors Affecting the Qajar-Era Fort Settlements in Iran's Sistan Region Due to Hydrographic Changes in the Hirmand River
    Zarei, M, E and others ______________________ Intl. J. Humanities (2016) Vol. 23 (4): (106-132) Factors Affecting the Qajar-Era Fort Settlements in Iran's Sistan Region Due to Hydrographic Changes in the Hirmand River Mohammad Ebrahim Zarei1, Seyyed Rasool Mousavi Haji 2 Naghmeh Behboodi3 Received: 2016/12/26 Accepted: 2017/9/29 Abstract Locating fort settlements in Iran's Sistan region during different historical periods have always been associated with changes in the direction of Hirmand River which often occurred due to various natural and human factors. One of the most important determining factors in locating the aforementioned settlements is changes in hydrographic network. This study aims to identify the relation between the Iranian province of Sistan hydrographic networks and the fort settlement during the Qajar era. The research method applied, here, is descriptive-analytical, historical- comparative, documentary, library and the field study in Iran's Sistan area. The main focus of the study is on the issue of changes in the hydrographic network of the Hirmand River. The main question is to what extent have the changes in the direction of the hydrographic network of Hirmand played a role in locating fort settlements of the Qajar era in Iran's Sistan region. Records, documents, data and historical information related to the Qajar era were collected and comprehensively compared and analyzed regarding the current and the past situations in the geographic information system (GIS) using ArcGIS software. The results show that the highest number of the locating and the density of fort settlements during Qajar are related to the hydrographic basin of the Sistanriver.

The region demonstrates harsh desert climate. This study was designed to reveal rodent diversity of the region in the light of geographic features. Totally, 127 specimens belonging to 5 families and 14 genera and 15 species were captured using live-traps and hand-net. As a result, the depression enjoys Oriental and Ethiopian elements ( Acomys dimidiatus Cretzschemar, 1826, Gerbillus nanus Blanford , 1875 and Meriones libycus Lichtenstein, 1823) which could pass Arabian deserts penetrating Iran from northern shores of Persian Gulf. Also, the region is a penetration route for Oriental species such as Tatera indica Hardwicke, 1807, Golunda ellioti Gray, 1837, Meriones hurrianae (Jerdon, 1867) and Mus musculus Linnaeus, 1758. The Jaz Murian depression is considered as the southernmost boundary of distributional range of Apodemus witherbyi Thomas, 1902 in the world. The Jaz Murian depression is supposed as a cross road between Palaearctic, Ethiopian and Oriental realms.

A look at the verses of the Quran and the life style of the Prophet�s family (PBUT) make it clear that no school like Islam has attached such a great importance to nature and the environment. Accordingly, using Quranic indices, in this study we have aimed to analyze the level of environmental development in rural areas of Sistan. Design/methodology/approach- The population of the study is the people in the rural areas of Sistan. To determine the sample population using Sharpe formula, 40 villages (with 51663 households) out of 796 villages in Sistan region were selected, and 381 heads of households were randomly selected according to Cochran formula. For data analysis, Kruskal-Wallis statistical method in SPSS was used, and then Topsis was employed to weigh and determine the degree of development of the villages. Findings: The evaluation showed that level of environmental development in rural areas is less than .01% percent significant.

  • INTRODUCTION Iran, Officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, Is a Country in Southwestern Asia. It Is Bordered on the North by Ar
    INTRODUCTION Iran , officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in southwestern Asia. It is bordered on the north by Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea, and Turkmenistan; on the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; on the south by the Gulf of Oman, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Persian Gulf; and on the west by Iraq and Turkey. In 2004, the population of Iran was estimated to be 69,018,924. Iran’s population is made up of numerous groups comprised of communities of Kurds, Arabs, Armenians, Assyrians, Georgians, Baloch, and others. The Persian people comprise about 45 percent of Iran's population. Turks population estimated to be around 12 to 16 million, Kurds 6-8 million, Arabs 2-3 million, and Turkmens 1-2 million, etc. Balochistan, officially known as the Trovince of Sistan & Balochistan' is one of the thirty provinces of Iran. It is in the southeast of the country, bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan and its capital is Zahedan. The province is the largest in Iran, with an area of 181,785 km and a population of 4.1 million. The province is comprised of two sections, Sistan in the north and Balochistan in the south. The combined Sistan & Balochistan Province today accounts for one of the driest regions of Iran with a slight increase in rainfall from east to west, and an obvious rise in humidity in the coastal regions. In the south, east and west of Sistan & Balochistan, the people are mostly Baloch and speak Balochi language. The name Balochistan in Persian language means 'Land of the Baloch.' Similarly, the Persian language name for Sistan comes from the old Persian Sakast na, meaning 'Land of the Sakas.' The Sakas were a population of Central Asian nomadic tribes speaking an eastern Iranian language.
