Based on the experiences of border residents in the form of interviews with 4 key informants in the villages of Khavomirabad rural district of Marivan city, in contrast to the supportive policies of government institu- tions, the policies and strategies adopted in this regard have been analyzed. In this regard, the participa- tory development approach and the institutional ethnographic method were used. The results were discussed and analyzed in the form of secondary categories, the shock of the end of activities of border markets, the failure of restorative policies, dependence on the assistance of supportive institutions, and spontaneous popular actions.

  • Modeling, Evaluation, and Zoning of Marivan County Ecotourism Potential Using Fuzzy Logic, FAHP, and TOPSIS
    ISSN 0354-8724 (hard copy) | ISSN 1820-7138 (online) Modeling, Evaluation, and Zoning of Marivan county Ecotourism Potential using Fuzzy Logic, FAHP, and TOPSIS Jahanbakhsh BalistA*, Hamideh HeydarzadehA, Esmail SalehiA Received: September 15, 2018 | Revised: December 14, 2018 | Accepted: February 26, 2019 DOI: 10.5937/gp23-18879 Abstract Among all the diverse regions of Iran, Marivan is considered one of the touring poles in the country thanks to its unique views which play an important role in providing ecotourism potential. Current- ly, despite the importance of the issue, no specific study and planning have been done to locate proper zones for an outing. In this regard, evaluation of the land potential for any kind of activity such as recre- ational planning is the first step in planning. In this study, we evaluated and zoned the ecotourism po- tential of Marivan in Kurdistan province with fuzzy logic, FAHP, and TOPSIS, based on 15 criteria and ap- plying GIS, where the outcome was zoning map of areas most suitable for ecotourism development. The results indicated that a total area of 3183 km2 (included in the study), classes 4 and 5, respective- ly, with 151 and 513 km2 constitute the most appropriate zones for ecotourism development. Among points with ecotourism attraction, the Zarivar Lake claimed the top priority while Anjiran Heights re- ceived the last priority. Keywords: Tourism; Marivan; Zoning; Fuzzy Logic; FAHP; TOPSIS Introduction Ecotourism has been categorized among new con- newest and best and indeed a perfect definition: “Ec- cepts which are still often misunderstood and not otourism is traveling to sensitive, unique, intact, and used correctly.

  • Decentralization and Democracy in Iran
    DECENTRALIZATION AND DEMOCRACY IN IRAN SAEID NOURI NESHAT THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENTMalaya OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHYof FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND ADMINISTRATION UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA UniversityKUALA LUMPUR 2017 i Abstract It was only twenty years after the 1979 Revolution that local Islamic councils were legalized and launched everywhere in Iran as part of reforms to strengthen decentralization and enhance people’s participation in policy planning. However, although these councils comprise elected members, they have not been fully institutionalized within the local government system and within Iran’s hierarchy of power. Local councils, therefore, have not led to the greater empowerment of people. This study assesses the decentralization process within the power structure after the Iranian Revolution. The research aims to provide insights into these key questions: how was the structure of the post-revolution decentralization system different from that of the previous regime? Why has the policy of decentralizationMalaya not led to the sort of devolution that would enable people to participateof in decision-making? What are the political obstacles to the empowerment of the people, a professed goal of the post- revolution government? A qualitative research method involving a multiple case study approach is used here. Urban and rural communities were selected for assessment through purposive sampling. Easton’s theory of political system was applied as it provides an effective conceptual framework to examine and explain the data. TheUniversity results indicate that the post-revolution system is one that can be classified as a filtered democracy. In this type of political system, inputs from society have to pass through filters created by power elites.

Environmental Health Research Center, Research Institute for Health Development, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, Sanandaj, Iran Date of submission: 10 Nov 2018, Date of acceptance: 04 Feb 2019 ABSTRACT The present study aimed to assess the levels of organochloride pesticides (OCPs) in the human breast milk obtained from the nursing women admitted for delivery to a hospital in Marivan county, located in Kurdistan, Iran. Milk samples were collected from 30 women. Gas chromatography analysis was performed using a Dani 1000 (Italy) gas chromatograph equipped with the Ni electron capture detector (ECD). The findings showed the high concentrations of OCPs in the samples. On the other hand, DDTs were ranked as the most abundant OCPs, followed by HCHs and HCBs, with the concentrations estimated at 2,345, 2,617, and 570 ng/g lipid/wt, respectively. Therefore, it could be concluded that the tested women might have been exposed to OCPs. However, further investigation is required on larger sample sizes to take proper measures. Keywords: Biomonitoring, Breast milk, Marivan, Nursing women, Organochlorine pesticides Introduction countries, and their long-term persistence in the Breast milk is the most fundamental environment is another contributing factor in nutritious support to the infant, which contains this regard, which make it vulnerable to be optimal amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, and analyzed in human breast milk.3 fats.

Twenty species of Pteromalidae were collected from Kordestan province, Western Iran during 2009–2010. Among the collected material four species, Mesopolobus xanthocerus (Thomson, 1878), Sphegigaster mutica Thomson, 1878, Systasis longula Bouček, 1956 and Systasis tenuicornis Walker, 1834, are reported for the first time from Iran and nine species are new for Kordestan province.

Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) провинции Курдистан, Западный Иран // Дальневосточный энтомолог. 2016. N 315. С. 11-20. Резюме. В результате сборов 2009–2010 гг. в провинции Курдистан в Западном Иране найдено 20 видов семейства Pteromalidae. Среди них четыре вида (Mesopolobus xanthocerus (Thomson, 1878), Sphegigaster mutica Thomson, 1878, Systasis longula Bouček, 1956 и Systasis tenuicornis Walker, 1834 ) впервые указываются для фауны Ирана, а 9 видов впервые проводятся для провинции Курдистан. INTRODUCTION The family Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) is one of the largest families of parasitic Hymenoptera, whose members are distributed in all zoogeographical regions of the world (Noyes, 2015). Majority of the species are primary or secondary parasitoids attacking other insect groups and some Arachnida in their various stages of development (egg, pupa or larva) (Bouček & Rasplus, 1991). Some species are phytophagous, developing in seeds or making galls in plants. They play a vital role in the control of insect pests and several species have been employed successfully in biological control programs all over the world (Debach & Rose, 1991; Bouček & Rasplus, 1991).
