But we can guess that it's the broad and full orientations and deal with by reasonable to it. Futurism not only profit all the tools of the future it is also seeking to optimize present the tasks and actions. Relationship of urban planning (urban) with sustainable urban architecture has directly relationship and is of a type that cannot be led distribute or in order to defined separate form for each them. the study was carried out in the past few decades, particularly since 1304 solar pahlavi era began with the arrival of modernity to country planning and architecture for large and medium-sized cities were palpably affected of it that with the study found that the documents appear on the facts between these two cities were the dominant instability rather than stability, therefore, migration and subsequent creation of uncontrolled urbanization , urban planning retardation and has suffered from unbalanced , so in this paper, a sample of case study Putting Zahedan that the so-called is mega-cities this issue will be discussed. Result of following from the western model is dysplasia and unsightly It shows the lack of attention to the environmental, climatic and cities is natural. this study was designed to evaluate the overall analysis and prediction of future trends in sustainable architecture and urbanism of cities provide the country the type and method of it is application and field also in the documentary and analytical strategies and current and future challenges facing the desert city of zahedan with a population of over 700 thousand people, and the plan is presented. KEY WORDS: urban planning, sustainable architecture, Islamic - Iranian cities, zahedan 1-INTRODUCTION City as the highest manifestation of architecture and human civilization has two different fate in Iran: in pre- Islamic ideology was dominance the ruling class and the relationship between the earth and the sky was established by individuals chosen, so city had the case of the symbolic. With the arrival of Islam in Iran, equal look worldview of Islam the fall the logic of social classes the direct relationship between man and god select intermediaries and certain persons place in society. As a result of the Iranian –Islamic city, because the transformation of thought and belief become new product of Islamic civilization that it was different from the spatial organization of their pre-Islamic way of life. So the trend not occurred based on pre-designed contemporary developments in architecture, An Islamic revolution was important landmark the changes are told is influenced it architectural form have been changed by following it. Climate is one of the factors affecting on human lives, especially in the architecture field and the building . Architecture experience in across the world and experience it indigenous in the architecture of Iran as the architecture of the city that has been imported agents it has been distances the traditional architectural style . What is considered in the design is facades it also captured the western symbols that actually matters arising it does not comply with such traditions and beliefs of Iran (ghayor, 1995: 25). The analysis examined the major cities of the Islamic world in Islamic contemporary are have not comply and written in by individual in Iran has but, some articles have been referred to it. Including decedent professor mohammad has an ganje in international seminar of geographical Islamic republic of Iran in 1986 to review the status of urban cities. Islamic countries is discussed he given to Islamic countries that least 75 countries are Muslim. Consequently, the majority of the population are Muslim, don’t select (ganji, 1985). Another done activities the geography book of Islamic countries compilation reza ahmdan 2004 and mostofy almmalk should be noted. He examines the state of the economy, urbanization, nomadic, health, during the shootout ... has deal with about Islamic countries, including Iran, (mostofi almamalki, 1996). world Islam cities to Islamic cities they be viewed from different angles change faced with a major phenomenon that is certainly modernism and modernity a phenomenon created profound changes in their the topic . in other words, of all the cities in a feature share it is face of modernism and the inability of proper planning and appropriate characteristics of authentic Islamic culture (shahraki et all, 2011). * Corresponding Author: Zeynab Karkeh Abadi (PHD), Department of Geography, College of human science, Semnan Branch, Islamic Azad University, Semnan, Iran. email: :[email protected] 329 Abadi et al., 2015 Objectives and explains the significance of the problem the purpose of this study was to analyze the prediction of future trends sustainable architecture and urbanism of the country's cities in this here the city of zahedan is immigration composed of different ethnic groups and tribes with different religious and ethnic subcultures, housing construction and architectural form any part of the local culture and religion follow you were spaces.cause disharmony and imbalance in terms of state and city other things, such as a 200 thousand marginalized as the third largest city in the country), the lack of accurate monitoring survey on housing manufacturing especially of informal housing in areas with abundant cultural and social problems other problems of this kind is attention to the importance of the research topic has doubled no doubt that our current cities are so disproportionate not only the loss of urban space architecture weakness it is added (azhdar, 2011: 283). 2 - METHODS 2-1- Methodology : The method in this study is applied, review and meta-analysis was based on documents, Other information and Interviews by individuals with some great old city of Zahedan and finally conclusions based on analysis of the current situation along with the challenges and solutions. 2-2- study area: Sistan and Baluchistan is located in the southeast, Iran in the 60 degrees 53 minutes east and 29 degrees 28 minutes north. zahedan the provincial capital due to the geographic location of and desert have faced with the temperature difference with high proportion of month this city has smooth, flat plain with a gentle slope of about 25 degrees a more or less high mountains surrounding it high and rough ,the city is connected by more communication lines in many different areas and nosratabad -bm, the zabl.jarmak .Mashhad way and iranshahr - khash, and mirjaveh ways and other side of the railway, especially the monotony mirjaveh – bam and kerman are examples of this (kharashadi zadeh et al. 2013). Zahedan is located in border desert with less than a century due to the at the crossroads, strategic approach the name was given by reza khan in 1931. the most basic form of the city of zahedan, regardless of administrative and military-political issues of the time, koushki to quetta railway and then construction dzdab by the English from another angle, therefore from point of view some authorities emergence of urban geography based on military and security policy the same requirements as in zahedan it formally justifies .zahdan amplifications, after separation of the same year, the great khorasan , zahedan deal with to center for development of sistan and baluchistan province.

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.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Gohardoustb a Faculty of Geography, University of Marburg, 35032 Marburg, Germany b Desert Division, Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands, Agricultural Research Education and Extension Organization (AREEO), 13165-116 Tehran, Iran ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Sand dune movement causes severe damage to infrastructure and rural settlements in Iran every year. Iran, sand dunes Identifying active dunes and monitoring areas with migrating sand are important prerequisites for mitigating Dune mobility index these damages. With regard to this objective, the spatial variation of the wind energy environment based on the Wind energy sand drift potential (DP) was calculated from 204 meteorological stations. Three commonly used dune activity Active dune models – the Lancaster mobility index (1988), the Tsoar mobility index (2005), and the index developed by Yizhaq et al. (2009) – were used for the evaluation of Iran’s sand dune activity. The analysis of the indices showed that the dune activity was characterized by great spatial variation across Iran’s deserts. All three models identified fully active dunes in the Sistan plain, the whole of the Lut desert, as well as in the ZirkuhQaienand Deyhook regions, while the dunes in the northern part of Rig Boland, Booshroyeh and in the Neyshabor du- nefields were categorized as stabilized dunes. For other dunes, the models show a less unified activity classifi- cation, with the Lancaster and Yizhaq models having more similar results while the Tsoar model stands more apart.

  • Mapping and Analyzing the Risk of Frost and Chilling Damage on Horticultural Crops (Study Case: Taftan Border Area, Southeast of Iran)
    J. Bio. & Env. Sci. 2015 Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) ISSN: 2220-6663 (Print) 2222-3045 (Online) Vol. 7, No. 2, p. 261-275, 2015 http://www.innspub.net RESEARCH PAPER OPEN ACCESS Mapping and analyzing the risk of frost and chilling damage on horticultural crops (study case: Taftan border area, Southeast of Iran) * Behrooz Kordi Tamandani , Dr. Mahmood Khosravi, Dr. Payman Mahmoodi Department of Climatology University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran Article published on August 31, 2015 Key words: Chilling, Frost, Taftan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Geographical Information System (GIS). Abstract Frosts have obvious effects on the energy, transport, and agriculture, while their greatest impact is on agriculture. Since chilling and frost cause’s lots of damage to crops in Taftan area, it is essential to examine the chilling and frost in this area. To study this phenomenon in Taftan area, the minimum temperature data of 4 synoptic stations (Zahedan, Khash, Nosratabad, Mirjaveh) and 4 climatology stations (Goharkouh, Karvandar, Cheshme ziarat, and Korin) were used. Early autumn and late spring frost dates at the desired thresholds (zero and lower) for chilling, and temperatures of 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4 ° C for frost damage were extracted, and duration, frequency of frost and chilling days and the growing season was calculated. Then, determining the appropriate probability distribution, the probability of early and late, chilling and frost was estimated. After examining the relationship between chilling and elevation, zoning maps were drawn by using the geographical information system (GIS), and finally using the Spearman correlation method, the relationship between chilling and frost and horticultural crops was analyzed.
