Temperature-physiologic combinational indices which are based upon human body energy balance are more valid than other indices. In the present research, synoptic and climatic stations were used inside and outside Khuzestan province over 1991-2008 and were obtained from irimo.ir. data was obtained from 23 synoptic stations and mean of each of the factors was calculated and PET index and PMT index were used to investigate appropriate time for tourists visit to Khuzestan province. Results showed that climatic comfort period in Khuzestan province is in November and March and March has a more ideal condition than November. KEYWORDS: PET and PMT indices, Khuzestan province, tourists INTRODUCTION Climate is the most important element of our surroundings and is one of the main factors of changing earth face.

  • A Study of the Reasons for the Permanence of Tirgan Or "Tirmā
    A Study of the Reasons for the Permanence of Teergan or "Tirmā Sizzệ Šu" Celebration in the Province of Mazandaran in Iran Dr. Morteza Mohseni* Dr. Mahmoud Azizi** Maryam Valizadeh*** Abstract: There are many festivals, rituals and celebrations in the ancient Persian calendar; amongst them, to name only a few are Nowrooz, Mehregan, Sa' adeh, Abangan, etc. These festivals and rituals mostly originated from religious rites and practices, each emanating from a particular myth. As a matter of fact, these rites constitute the practical perspectives of people’s mythological beliefs and convictions. The reason why some of these ancient myths are still working is that they are still functioning in the daily lives of people. It seems that with the decline of their sacredness and popularity they start to disappear from the lives of the people. The "Tirmā Sizzệ Šu", the night of the 13th of Teer in the Persian solar calendar, festival is taken to be a remnant of the ancient Persian ritual festival of Teergan. This festival is still celebrated in certain regions of Iran, especially in the north of the country. Amongst different reasons that gave a relatively permanent life to this festival in the north of the country are the special geographical as well as environmental influences. To this we should also add the religious and mythological beliefs of the people of the region. The authors will attempt to redefine some of the major reasons that gave a lasting life to these beliefs and myths. Keywords: myth, Tirmā Sizzệ Šu, festival, calendar, Mazandaran,

  • RIVIVAL of the ANCIENT ZARATHUSHTI CALENDAR 3753 Ze
    UNIFIED ZARATHUSHTI CALENDAR RIVIVAL OF THE ANCIENT ZARATHUSHTI CALENDAR 3753 ze “I learn about and work with the solar year, the righteous period”. Yasna Ha1.9, Ha 3.11, Ha 4.14 THE ANCIENT MAZDIYASNI CALENDAR updated by Zarathushtra was the most accurate calendar that has ever existed in the civilized world to this day. The year always started with the Vernal Equinox whereby the leap year was automatically taken care of. Its accuracy was further strengthened by dividing into months the number of days of each individual season marked by the position of the earth in its orbit round the sun. The proof of this is in the four festivals that are celebrated to this day. 1- Vernal Equinox the beginning of Spring as New Year – Now Rooz 2- Summer Solstice the beginning of Summer as Tirgan 3- Autumnal Equinox the beginning of Fall as Mehregan 4- Winter Solstice the beginning of winter as Yalda (Deygan) These four positions and the four seasons although they may seem to be of equal length, in reality they are not equal. The path of the earth around the sun is such that it does not divide the time taken to travel, from one position to another, into four equal parts as one would ordinarily believe. In fact none of the four parts are equal. Spring has 92.8 days, Summer 93.6 days Autumn 89.9 days and winter 88.9 days. Each individually divided works out to 31 days each for the first six months, the next 5 months of 30 days and the last month of the balance of the days before the Vernal Equinox which is 29 and automatically 30 every fourth years.
