Abstract Due to the very high energy consumption in the Tehran region, CO2 emis- sions are also very high, with the residential and commercial buildings mak- ing up the largest share of 41 % by 2008 and for transportation up to 25 %. This publication tries to estimate the results of different planning fields in New Town Hashtgerd and Tehran-Karaj region in Iran regarding the de- velopment of CO2 emissions. Concerning this goal the expressiveness of the paper is limited to emissions caused by mixed-use-buildings, office-build- ings and transportation. In order to evaluate the project’s impact in terms of CO2 reduction, the emission savings through the implementation of Young Cities’ project find- ings and recommendations are estimated. The CO2 emissions of buildings and transportation are calculated based on their energy consumption, based on energy simulation, and the CO2 emission factors for different energy car- riers. First the specific CO2 emissions are balanced for the project area of Hashtgerd New Town and then they are extrapolated for the whole former Tehran province. The CO2 emissions per capita and year are estimated and compared us- ing two forecast scenarios for the year 2027 based on the preliminary results of the residential and office building as well as transport planning within the Young Cities project. The first scenario “business as usual 2027” visual- izes the CO2 emissions in 2027, with the development following the current trends in Iran. The second scenario “planning scenario 2027” forecasts the CO2 emissions for 2027 assuming that two per cent of all new buildings are built according to the results of the Young Cities project and the suggested transportation system is implemented. The comparison of these two scenarios indicates the possible reduc- tion of CO2 emissions for 2027 achieved through the implementation of the Young Cities’ research findings. All areas monitored show significant poten- tials of possible emission savings which have been developed in the Young Cities project. It therefore appears that the implementation of the developed measures could lead to eminent energy and emission savings in comparison with conventional planning, construction and behavior approaches. Anyway it needs to be born that the results provided in this paper is based on simu- lation algorithms trying to represent real conditions as far as possible. As long as those estimations are based on various assumptions meanderings can 3 therefore not be excluded. To fulfill the requirements of an overall CO2 bal- ance in Hashtgerd additional energy intensive fields like industry, agricul- ture and power plant need to consider as well. Nonetheless the results of this paper underline the effectiveness of the developed approaches and empha- size ways of future development in the Tehran-Karaj region. Conceptual Formulation The aim is to calculate the CO2 emissions per capita caused by mixed-use- buildings, office-buildings and transportation in Hashtgerd New Town and Tehran Region. Thereby different scenarios should be compiled and com- pared with each other. 4 CO2 Balance for Buildings and Transportation in Hashtgerd New Town and Tehran Region 1 Framework Conditions and Assumptions 1.1 Region The calculation applies to the former Tehran Province, which has been di- vided in new Tehran and Alborz Provinces in August 2010 (Figure 1, the red colored space represents the former Tehran Province). The Region cov- ers 18,909 km² including the Tehran-Karaj region with nearly 13.2 million inhabitants, which is the area with the highest population density in Iran. Approximately 86.5 % of the population lives in cities and 13.5 % in rural parts of the Region.

Furthermore the availability of data for this area is much better than on other spatial scales. The Region also includes areas with very low density near the Alborz mountains in the north and the east as well as in the desert in the south and the west. A calculation of inhabitants, space and density based on the different settlement densities in the 13 old and new counties (“Shahrestan”) is visu- alized in table 1. Constrain A) and B) don’t include Hashtgerd New Town and the oth- er New Towns which are aimed at discharging the Urban Growth Center Tehran-Karaj. Therefore the following descriptions refer to a constraint be- tween Tehran and Karaj Provinces (shortened as “Tehran Region”). 1.2 Spatial Scale of Calculation First of all the CO2 emissions are balanced for Shahre Javan Community (building sector) and Hashtgerd New Town (transportation) because of better database. Following this there is an upscaling to the whole Tehran Province based on relative emissions per capita calculated in the first step. 1.3 Demographic Development It is estimated that the present 13,5 million inhabitants of Province Tehran and Province Alborz (2006) will grow up to 23,2 million in 2027 (Figure 2).

Associated professor in social and regional planning, Allameh TabaTabaii University Ahmadi Sh. M.A. in Tourism Management, Allameh Tabatabaii University Received: 21/11/2010 Accepted: 27/04/2011 Extended Abstract Introduction Tourism has recently been introduced and recognized as one of the strategies for rural development and poverty reduction especially in developing countries and been implemented and proved successful in some areas. Tourism development in rural areas is seen as an agent both for rural economic regeneration and as a way of contributing to cultural and environmental conservation. These researchers contend that tourism has many advantages over other economic sectors, making it an effective tool for poverty alleviation. These advantages include: providing opportunities for linkages with other local industries and livelihood activities, thus increasing the scope of local participation, being able to build upon a wide resource base especially on natural and cultural capital which are assets to the poor despite the few export and diversification options usually they access to, being labor intensiveArchive and small scale and opportunities to employ of women andSID addressing gender inequality. Given this comparative advantage, it is recommended that the poverty ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ Responsible Author: Mahjom43 @ gmail.com

Regarding the growth in urbanism during the century, the idea of building new cities as a necessity in absorbing the surplus urban population and decentralization in population and worldwide employment and Iran has been introduced and implemented. The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of new towns in Iran in absorbing population, and the research method employed in this article is “descriptive-analytical” method of research. This article has assessed the realization of the population of new towns of Iran. The results from surveys indicate that the new towns of Iran are in different positions regarding attracting population. Andisheh New Town has a better stature among these towns regarding population attraction, but the total average of realization index in attracting population in new towns of Iran based on the predictions of the comprehensive plan equals 21.49 percent, which means they have an unfavorable condition in terms of attracting population. Therefore, a revision in the new towns comprehensive plans, especially their population predictions seems necessary. [Hamid Reza Varesi, Mohammad Ghanbari.

The present study has been conducted to investigate the chironomid diversity in Taleghan River in two seasons, spring and summer 2016 for six sampling points (Asfaran, Varkesh, Mir, Jostan, Barikan and Gooran). The sampling procedure was done by applying a simple dredge in five replications for each sampling point. The results have showed that there was a great diversity of Chironomidae in Taleghan River which composed of four sub-families and 21 different genera; Chironominae (Chironomus, Robackia, Stenochironomus, Omisus, Cryptochironomus, Saetheria, Cryptotendipes, Microtendipes, Paratendipes, Constempellina and Neozavrelia), Orthocladiinae (Bryophaenocladius, Comptocladius, Echinocladius, Smittia, Botryocladius, Symbiocladius, Psectrocladius and Gymnometriocnemus), Tanypodinae (unidentified genera in Pentaneurini tribe) and Diamesinae (Potthastia and Diamesa). Ten genera have been reported for the first time in Iran. Diversity on abundance of each genus in different months and sampling points might be the result of the environmental conditions and water pollution.

    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XXXVI, 2001 LA REGION DE TEHERAN A L'AUBE DE L'AGE DU FER: REFLEXIONS ET COMMENTAIRES SUR LES NÉCROPOLES DU IIE MILLÉNAIRE AV. J.-C. PAR Ali MOUSAVI University of California, Berkeley* Un siècle s'est écoulé depuis que les premiers vestiges archéologiques ont été mis au jour à Téhéran, en 1900, mais l'endroit reste malconnu sur le plan archéologique. Les résultats des quelques rares travaux archéolo- giques réalisés à Téhéran ont été sommairement présentés1. Pour le Téhé- ran protohistorique, la situation est encore pire car cette période n'est connue qu'au travers de nécropoles qui n'avaient aucun autre intérêt que celui de fournir des «vases gris-noirs» en céramique. Pour éviter la redon- dance, il faut mentionner une fois pour toute que la documentation archéo- logique de Téhéran, bien que relativement abondante, est difficilement uti- lisable, soit en raison d'un enregistrement incomplet des données, soit en raison de l'absence de publication. C'est pourquoi il faut se réjouir de la publication récente des résultats des fouilles de la nécropole de Qeytariyeh par S. Kambakhsh Fard; elle fournit des outils pour une étude d'ensemble de la région (voir Kambakhsh Fard, 1990, désormais Qeytariyeh). Cepen- dant, une revue détaillée des résultats semble être nécessaire. Le livre de S. Kambakhsh Fard, et le rapport publié de la fouille belge de Khorvin, à 80 km à l'ouest de Téhéran, constituent la base de notre documentation sur la région au IIe millénaire av. J.-C. Cette recension, bien qu'elle ne se borne pas à la ville de Téhéran, est limitée par les lacunes des publications.
