This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Habitat loss and fragmentation of the wildlife species due to anthropogenic developments have been becoming serious issues in biological conservation. Alborz wild sheep, listed as threatened by IUCN, is distributed in relatively small and isolated patches in an increasingly human dominat- ed landscape in the north-central Iran and east of Tehran. We used maximum entropy modeling to identify habitat areas of the wild sheep, across Jajrud protected area and its neighbouring pro- tected areas including varjin, lar, koohsefid and the surroundings. Regarding to seasonal variation of the species home range, winter, summer and multi seasonal (annual) habitats were predicted. To estimate habitat connectivity, we used models of connectivity based in electrical circuit theory. Applying core areas of multi season for connectivity analysis, movement pattern of the species was predicted and important connective areas for conservation were identified.

JICA sent to Iran a study team headed by Mr. Koichi IWASAKI of Nihon Suido Consultants Co., Ltd. between May 2005 and November 2006. The study team was composed of members from Nihon Suido Consultants Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Engineering Consultants Co., Ltd. JICA also established an Advisory Committee headed by Mr. Haruo IWAHORI, Senior Advisor, Institute for International Cooperation JICA, which, from time to time during the course of the study, provided specialist advice on technical aspects of the study. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Islamic Republic of Iran and conducted field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and prepared present report.

Tehran Urban Planning and Research Center. Iran Received 18 June 2014; Revised 27 July 2014; Accepted 15 Aug. 2014 ABSTRACT: Investigating urban environmental conditions, informs us about the unsustainability and excessive degradation of ecological context, which result in rising environmental concerns among the society. Classified information about the status and trends of environmental components is needed as a rational tool to help urban sustainable planning and SOER reports can help provide such information. Preparing the state of environment report (SOER) for cities around the world has become a pervasive action and fortunately Tehran is among pioneer cities in this aspect. This research is based on the results of Tehran’s second state of environment report, in which different aspects of environmental problems are investigated in city of Tehran. The results show an increase in environmental loads, which is evident from the rate of land cover change, water consumption and waste production. Degradation of ecological environment in Tehran is severe for soil pollution, biodiversity loss and climate change which can be the result of other environmental factors degradation such as air and water. In the end, according to components of DPSIR causal chain, different responses are proposed that can serve as a framework to develop strategies and action plans for a more efficient environmental planning of city of Tehran.
