In other words, the development plans are being prepared and implemented without the continuous participation of the stakeholders. Development experts believe that the stakeholders’ participation guarantees the success of any plan or program and in fact the primary objective of development is the attainment of participatory management. Although various endeavors are taken place to institutionalize public participation in watershed management, a specific practical mechanism is yet to be developed in Iran. The phase I of the Sustainable Management of Land and Water Resources (SMLWR) Project commenced in 1997 based on a joint initiative of the Islamic Republic and Iran and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) at Hablehroud Watershed Basin with an area of 1.2 million hectares as its pilot region. Four plans (with 4 separate plan documents) were designed. One of the plans, entrusted to the Management and Planning Organization, was drawn up as the umbrella entity to coordinate the overall activities and conduct the strategic planning for the other three thematic plans on watershed management, combating desertification and sustainable agriculture. These plans launched their activities at specific pilot sites and the managers of all four plans were selected from Iranian experts. The international group’s project assessment The international experts assessed the Sustainable Management of Land and Water Resources of Hablehroud Project in 2001 whose results are indicated below: ▂ Many problems involved in sustainable management of land and water resources are taken into consideration in Hablehroud Watershed Basin and could be extended to the other regions of the country ▂ The cooperation of three executive institutions under the framework of a single watershed basin is the first endeavor of its kind in Iran with valuable hands on experiences ▂ The experience with Participatory Rural Approach (PRA) has been very limited in Iran and Hablehroud Project is an important pioneer in this field ▂ Despite the cultural limitations on women participation, their cooperation in the participatory planning has enhanced women’s role in group decision-making ▂ The Project enjoys trained and motivated personnel with practical experience in participatory processes. Phase II of Hablehroud Project After the conclusion of Phase I, in a joint meeting of representatives from the Ministry of Jihad Agriculture, Planning and Management Organization, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UNDP, it was decided to commence the Phase II of Hablehroud Project as a high priority national project. Thus, an international consultant was contracted to develop the project document for Phase II. The integrated management strategy of Hablehroud Watershed Basin became the main agenda of the Phase II. The preparation of such strategy coupled with the well documented past experiences paves the way for the development of a model applicable in the other regions of the country. The envisioned model could enable the project to implement the detailed concepts and schemes to ൙൙൙൙൙൙ Introduction ൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙ 7 utilize the participatory approach in sustainable management of land and water resources inside the watershed basin as well as the other development projects. Therefore, the Sustainable Management of Land and Water Resources (SMLWR) project was extended for another 5 years until the end of 2016 by the seventh meeting of the Project Board comprised of the Deputy Minister and Head of the Forests, Rangeland and Watershed Organization (FRWO), the United Nations Resident Representative in Iran, Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other members of the Project Board. They emphasized on the sustainable economy as an appropriate tool for the integrated management of natural resources along with the inter-sectoral cooperation, control of land degradation and improvement of living standards for the local residents. The Phase II of Sustainable Management of Land and Water Resources of Hablehroud Project intend to attain a suitable model for the integrated management of watershed basins in the arid and semi-arid regions of Iran. Also, it envisions enhancing inter-sectoral cooperation and materializing the participatory approach at the local level. The main outcomes of the project in line with the above-mentioned goals are the development of the National Action Plan to be used in other watershed basin managements in the country and to control the land degradation through the improvement of the living standards for the local residents. The Phase II outcomes and objectives The Phase II of Hablehroud Project envisions attaining the following 2 major outcomes and 4 outputs: Outcome #1 Development of a model for the integrated planning and management of the land and water resources in the watershed basin in line with the sustainable development of the basin Output 1.1: Design a framework for sustainable economy and establishing a linkage with the national accounts in order to attain sustainable development throughout the watershed basin Output 1.2: Design the strategies for participatory management and an integrated management model for the watershed basin concentrating on sustainable management of land and water resources in the arid and semi-arid regions and subsequently submit them to the national authorities for their mainstreaming into the governmental policy- making framework and planning Outcome #2 Enhance the management status of land and water resources and control land degradation through the participatory approach at the watershed basin Output 2.1: Document, monitor and assess the best practices and innovations related to the management of land and water resources Output 2.2: Sustainably improve the living standards and capacities of the basin residents and ameliorate the management of natural resources ൙൙൙൙൙൙ 8 ൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙൙ Performance Report of Hablehroud Project- 2014 Members of the Operational Team of the Project during 2014 Parviz Garshasbi Acting National Project director Hushang Jazi National Project Manager Hoda Karimipour Senior Technical Expert Hosseinali Mohammadi SMLWR Project Expert Zohreh Jamshidi SMLWR Project Expert Niloufar Dehghan Financial and Procurement Assistant Vahid Ebrahimi Financial and Procurement Assistant General Director of Natural Resources and Watershed Management and Gholamabass Abdinejad Secretary of Monitoring and Planning Committee of Tehran Province Deputy of Watershed Management and Provincial Project Manager Saeid Tabakhi -Tehran-SMLWR Project Adel Mahboubian/MaryamTajiki Provincial Expert -Tehran -SMLWR Project Ali Rahnamaian/ Yadollah Akbari Head of Natural Resources and Watershed Management Office & Secretary Talar Poshti of Watershed Management Committee - SMLWR Project - Damavand Abuzar Koosheki Provincial Expert -Damavand -SMLWR Project Razegheh Gholamrezaei Provincial Expert –Damavand Head of Natural Resources and Watershed Management Office & Secretary Hojatollah Khon Mohammadi of Watershed Management Committee - SMLWR Project - Firozkooh Ali Mohammad Bahu Provincial Expert -Firozkooh -SMLWR Project Rouhollah Darvish Provincial Expert -Firozkooh -SMLWR Project General Director of Natural Resources and Watershed Management and Seyed Hassan Miremad Secretary of Monitoring and Planning Committee of Semnan Province Deputy of Watershed Management and Provincial Project Manager Mohammad Hadi Nocheh -Semnan-SMLWR Project Seyed Vahid Khatami Provincial Expert -Semnan -SMLWR Project Mohammad Rastin Provincial Expert -Semnan SMLWR Project Head of Natural Resources and Watershed Management Office & Secretary Hamid Reza Hemati of Watershed Management Committee - SMLWR Project - Sorkheh

Received 16 July 2018; Revised 16 September 2018; Accepted 26 September 2018 ABSTRACT: Cities are in search for new ways to get promoted. Regarding the fast changes in technology and the shift from local to a globalized environment, cities are forced to compete with each other in order to become an attractive tourist destination, workplace, cultural rich place and much more. City branding has been introduced as a new and creative solution to be adopted by cities to achieve success in this hard competition. Although the promotion of cities dates back to the 19th century, the emergence of concepts such as place marketing, place branding, and city branding is relatively new in the academic language. City branding is not only a promotional activity but also it should be considered as a strategic process. So, city branding should be a vision-driven process in order to be successful. But unfortunately, there is a gap in strategic city branding literature from the practical point of view. This study focuses on filling this gap by reviewing the evolution of city branding from city marketing, identifying the relations between city branding and strategic spatial planning and then examining the lessons learned in the case study of Damavand city near Tehran.

  • Travel to Tehran-Iran
    Travel to Tehran-Iran ABOUT IRAN- HISTORY & HERITAGE The plateau of Iran is among the oldest civilization centers in the history of humanity and has an important place in archeological studies. The history of settlement in the Plateau of Iran, from the new Stone Age till the migration of Aryans to this region, is not yet very clear. But there is reliable evidence indicating that Iran has been inhabited since a very long time ago. Settlement centers have emerged close to water resources like springs, rivers, lakes or totally close to Alborz and Zagross mountains. After the decline of the Achievement dynasty, and the destruction of Persepolis by Alexander, his successors the Seleucid dominated over Iran for a short period of time. During this time the interaction between Iranian and Hellenic cultures occurred. Around the year 250 BC, the Parthians, who were an Aryan tribe as well as horse riders, advanced from Khorassan towards the west and south-west and founded their empire over Iran Plateau in Teesfoon. This empire survived only until the year 224 AD. The Sassanian, after defeating the last Parthia n king in 225 AD, founded a new empire which lasted until mid-7th century AD. With respect to its political, social, and cultural characteristics, the ancient period of Iran (Persia) is one of the most magnificent epochs of Iranian history. Out of this era, so many cultural and historical monuments have remained inPersepolis, Passargadae, Susa (Shoosh), Shooshtar, Hamadan, Marvdasht (Naqsh-e-Rostam), Taq-e- bostan, Sarvestan, and Nayshabur, which are worth seeing. The influence of Islam in Iran began in the early 7th century AD after the decline of the Sassanide Empire.
