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.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cancers are a wide range of diseases, and their numbers are increasing but the severity of the disease is varied in different cancers. This study was conducted to evaluate the frequency of referrals of cancer patients referred to hospitals affiliated to the Babol University of Medical Sciences based on ICD10. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted on all cancer patients referring to hospitals affiliated to Babol University of Medical Sciences from 1992 to 2016. The information related to the patients who referred to these centers for the first time were collected and reviewed using a checklist including hospital name, case number, age, sex, occupation, marriage, place of residence, type of cancer and ICD code. FINDINGS: The highest frequency of cancer patients was related to male gender (50.7%, 3575 patients), married patients (87.2%, 6147 patients), and were related to Babol (16.8%, 1889 patients), Amol (14.4%, 1018 patients) and Sari (11.8%, 833 patients).

Water samples were analysed for pH, EC, major cations and anions and 70 trace ele- ments concentrations. The type of water samples and the variation in their chemistry were determined ac- cording to Stiff, Piper and Ficklin diagrams respectively. Presence of carbonate rocks raised the pH of the water samples.
