The northern part of the province is part of territory of south (Iranian) Talesh.At the center of the province include Astara,Astaneh-e Ashrafiyeh,Fouman,Lahijan,Langroud,Masouleh,Manjil,Roudbar, Roudsar,Shaft,Talesh and Somesara. The main harbor part of the province is Bandar-e Anzali (previously Bandar-e Pahlavi). Despite of the abundant humidity,Guilan is known for its moderate, mild and Mediterranean-like climate. Large parts of the province are mountainous, green and forested. The coastal plain along the Caspian sea is similar to that of Mazandaran, mainly used for rice paddies. The majority of the population speaks Gilaki as their first language while many children, particularly in the cities, tend to use standard Persian amongst themselves. Guilan has some Azarbaijani-speaking people in Astara and Manjil. The northern part of the province is inherited by Talesh people. Guilan's position on Tehran-Baku trade route has established the cities of Bandar-e Anzali and Rasht as ranking amongst the most important commercial centers in Iran.As a result, the merchants 6 Guilan my homeland and middle-classes include a significant percentage of the population. The province has an annual average of 2 million tourists,mostly domestics.Although Iran's cultural heritage organization lists 211 sites of historical and cultural significance in the province,the main tourist attraction in Guilan is the small town of Masouleh in hills south-east of Rasht. The most vicinities of Iran are found in northern part of Iran,and especially in Guilan province. Coverage of green forests, various sources of water, local architecture and cultural specifications are eye-catching; forming a basis for the development of tourism. Guilan province is one of the important places of tourism. It has lots of cultural, historical and natural attractions. You can also go to different cities and villages of Guilan in a day to enjoy when you travel to Iran. Guilan has forest, sea, mountain, valley, field, plain, waterfall and roaring rivers. I described some cities and villages of this green province within a day of my trip on Fridays with my family. My green province has a lot of beautiful, virgin cities and villages that I couldn't write about them in one day traveling, but I wrote briefly about some cities and villages at first and I introduced them to tourists who are going to travel to this province. I hope this guide book is prefect for tourists and they enjoy the virgin and green resorts. 7 Guilan my homeland 8 Guilan my homeland Guilan province tourist attractions ‭ 9 Guilan my homeland 1.Astara township Tourist attracttions: Abbas Abad garden, Heyran pass, Koteh Komeh and Ali Dashy hot water,Estil wetland, Latoon waterfall, Bibi Yanloo forest park.

The bird names have been listed and classified according to the scientific codes. An etymological study has been presented for scientific names, including genus and species. If it was possible we have provided the etymology of Persian and Gilaki native names of the birds. According to our best knowledge, there was no previous report gathering and describing the ornithological fauna of this part of the world. Gilan province, due to its meteorological circumstances and the richness of its animal life has harbored a wide range of animals. Therefore, the nomenclature system used by the natives for naming the animals, specially birds, has a prominent stance in this country. Many of these local and dialectal names of the birds have been entered into standard language of the country (Persian language). The study has presented majority of comprehensive list of the Gilaki bird names, categorized according to the ornithological classifications.
  • An Assessment of Threats to Anatidae in Iran

    An Assessment of Threats to Anatidae in Iran

    Bird Conservation International (2015) 25 :242 –257 . © BirdLife International, 2014 doi:10.1017/S0959270914000264 An assessment of threats to Anatidae in Iran ELHAM NOURANI , MOHAMMAD KABOLI and BEN COLLEN Summary The network of wetland systems in Iran provides valuable staging and wintering areas for waterbirds in the African-Western Eurasian flyways. The West Siberian/Caspian/Nile popula- tions of Anatidae (ducks, geese and swans) regularly overwinter and stop over in Iran, and are considered an economically and culturally important group of birds in the country. Conservation of such migratory birds requires the identification of key threat factors impacting them throughout the flyway. Since documented data on the status and threats facing Anatidae in Iran are very scarce, in this paper, we attempted to determine the general population trends for the 26 Anatidae species in Iran, using annual waterbird census data, and to identify and score the most important threat factors affecting each species, by consulting the top ornithologists and pro- fessional birdwatchers in the country by means of a survey. Our results indicate that the most prevalent threats affecting all 26 species are dam construction, water management practices, and hunting. Our results provide the necessary material for Red List assessment of these species at the national level, an important tool for conservation priority setting within Iran and in the flyway. Introduction Waterbirds have long been the subject of many international conservation agreements. The Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971) and the Agreement on the Conservation of African- Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA, 1999), among others, urge countries to work together to save migratory waterbirds through the flyway concept.

Anaplasmosis is generally caused by intraerythrocytic rickettsia of Anaplasma genus and transmitted biologically and mechanically. The current study was designed to determine the prevalence of Anaplasma spp. in cattle in Talesh; one of the rainy Iranian counties in Gilan province, Iran. From May to November 2015, one hundred and fifty blood samples of cattle were collected from different regions in Talesh. DNA was extracted from blood samples and subsequently, 16S rRNA and MSP4 genes were analysed by Nested-PCR method for differentiation of Anaplasma spp. The results showed that 40.66% of blood samples were positive for Anaplasma spp. and that 24.66%, 35.33%, 9.33% and 12% of positive samples were infected with A. phagocytophilum, A. bovis, A. marginale and A. centrale respectively. Statistical analysis by Chi-square test did not show any significant rela- tionship between the presence of Anaplasma species and variables sex, age and tick infestation (P˃0.05).

Received 13 May 2017; Revised 19 August 2017; Accepted 04 November 2017; Available Online 22 September 2019 ABSTRACT The valuable old textures in Rasht, including the old Sagharisazan Neighborhood, are considered as the ground for the occurrence of events and reminder of the individual and collective memories of the citizens that play an important role in kinship and rendering the urban environment`s meaningfulness. The playing of the intended role entails the existence of identifiable codes in the old textures that have undergone depreciations in the course of time. The current research paper investigated the collective memories of the residents in the revitalization of the valuable and old Sagharisazan’s houses and buildings. After dealing with the existent theories in the area of the collective memory and performing a case study with an analytical approach, the hypothesis was tested. The present study’s question pivoted about the idea that is it possible to benefit from the citizens’ collective memories for the revitalization of the architecturally valuable old houses and textures or not? Moreover, the present study’s focal point has been drawn on the assumption that the continuation and preservation of the overall identity of Sagharisazan’s texture seems to be dependent on the citizens’ collective memory and sense of attachment in the intended texture.

Numerous severe historical and instrumental earthquakes, including three earthquakes with magnitude more than 7 in this region, can be an evidence of this claim. The objective of this paper is to estimate acceleration coefficient for different levels of seismic activities within the city surrounding area. For this purpose, a list of major faults, as well as the reported historical and instrumental earthquakes occurred within a radius of 200 km around the area, till 2013 A.D. are collected. In this paper, after culling and removing aftershocks and foreshocks, first the Poisson behavior of the remaining earthquakes is studied; and then by calculating the frequency of earthquakes and using universal probabilistic relationships, the seismicity parameters of this region is obtained.

You read the announcement of the minister of interior about the total population of Iran in the daily press. According to this declaration, the total population of Iran is 18,900,000 people, while, according to the offices of the General Statistics Office and the Population Office of the country, Iran’s population is more than 24 million people. This huge difference forced us to investigate the matter. It turned out that the statistics of the country’s population administration are somewhat correct, since the mentioned Office considers the identity cards as a criterion, and according to the identity cards in the hands of Iranians, the population of Iran is 24 million. But why has the population of Iran declined in the general census? That is because the statistics of Iranians living abroad have not been taken into consideration. And now we have the approximate statistics of Iranians living abroad and we mention it because all Iranians living abroad have ID cards, and the general census was conducted only inside the country. On this principle, the statistics of Iranians living abroad were not obtained….

Gaikwad2 Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Pune, (M.S), India Received 15 February 2013 Revised 18 June 2013 Accepted 23 October 2013 Abstract: Ethno-musicology is an academic field encompassing various approaches to the study of music that emphasize its cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts instead of its isolated ‘sound’ component or any particular repertoire. The term ‘Ethno-musicology’ became common in1950, although the emergence of the field can be traced back to the late nineteenth century. Anthropological study of folk music of Gilan province, in Iran with regards to its richness and long history is the subject of this paper. Folk music of Gilan is a part of folklore since it represents the type of thoughts, feelings and behavior of Gilanian People. Nowadays, some Gilani music is on the verge of ‘getting forgotten’ The problem is not only the loss of a kind of music but it is feared that this change will cause another change in thinking and behavior, Therefore, the task is to identify, document and analyze Gilani folk music. In this paper, Informal interview and participant observations comprise the methods of data collection. Functional theory has been used for analysis. Keywords: Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, Iran, Gilan Province, functional theory, instrumental music. Introduction Ethno-musicology is an academic field encompassing various approaches to the study of music that emphasize its cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts instead of its isolated ‘sound’ component or any particular repertoire.
