O. Box 92260, 1090 AG Amsterdam, The Netherlands * Corresponding author Abstract This catalog comprises 56 genera and 266 species of mite names of superfamilies Raphignathoidea and Tetranychoidea recorded from Iran at the end of January, 2013. Data on the mite distributions and habitats based on the published information are included. Remarks about the incorrect reports and nomen nudum species are also presented. Key words: Checklist, mite, habitat, distribution, Iran. Introduction Apparently the first checklist about mites of Iran was that of Farahbakhsh in 1961. Subsequently the following lists were published: “The 20 years researches of Acarology in Iran, List of agricultural pests and their natural enemies in Iran, A catalog of mites and ticks (Acari) of Iran and Injurious mites of agricultural crops in Iran” are four main works (Sepasgosarian 1977; Modarres Awal 1997; Kamali et al. 2001; Khanjani & Haddad Irani-Nejad 2006). Prostigmatic mites consist of parasitic, plant feeding and beneficial predatory species and is the major group of Acari in the world. Untill 2011, 26205 species were described in this suborder, of which 4728 species belong to the cohort Raphignathina and tetranychoid and raphignathoid mites include 2211 and 877 species respectively (Zhang et al.

  • Promotion of Urban Resilience with Citizens' Local Participation
    Journal of Engg. Research Vol. 7 No. (1) March 2019 pp. 1-18 Promotion of Urban Resilience with Citizens’ Local Participation Approach Case Study: Bonab City Ali Majnouni-Toutakhane* Vakil Heidari Sareban** *Faculity of Art and Architecture, University of Bonab, Bonab, Iran *Corresponding Author: [email protected] **Associate Professor of Geography and Rural Planning, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardebil, Iran **[email protected] ABSTRACT Nowadays, many hazards threaten urban life seriously. Urban resilience is very significant to encounter these risks. Urban resilience development has some basic prerequisites such as broad participation of citizens. The purpose of this paper is to review the role of citizens’ participation in urban resilience improvement. This is an applied descriptive- analytic research. Also the type of research is correlational-causal. Subjects are the residents living in 13 of urban districts of Bonab in Iran. Using simple random sampling method and Cochran formula the sample size obtained is 400. Also, Pearson correlation test and stepwise multivariate regression test are accomplished. Face validity of the questionnaire was conformed by university professors. By making use of Cronbach’s alpha special formula the reliability of research questionnaire obtained is 0.901 for participation questionnaire and 0.896 for urban resiliency questionnaire. The results of Pearson’s test show that the majority of participation variables are correlated with variables of urban resiliency. Also, results of multivariate regression illustrated that physical participation instrumentation variable is more powerful to explain variations of urban resiliency and educational-promotional, political-administrative, and intellectual-financial variables, respectively, are the remaining variables. These five variables are capable of explaining 0.87 percent of urban resiliency variations.

  • An Applied SWOT Model for Analyzing Role-Taking of Converted Villages to Towns in Urban Network Behzad ENTEZARI1, Mostafa TALESHI2, Mahdi MUSAKAZEMI3 1 Ph.D
    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND February 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 An Applied SWOT Model for Analyzing Role-Taking of Converted Villages to Towns in Urban Network Behzad ENTEZARI1, Mostafa TALESHI2, Mahdi MUSAKAZEMI3 1 Ph.D. Student in Geography and Rural Planning, PNU. Tehran (Responsible Author) 1 Associated Prof. of Geography, PNU, Tehran 1 Associated Prof. of Geography, PNU, Tehran (The case of 12 villages in East Azerbaijan/Iran – 2001-2011) Abstract One of the most important features of urbanization in IRAN, like other third world countries, has been converting rural points to new city centers. These effects impact on the number of cities and urban networks of the different regions. So it is necessary to provide new development plans for these new rurban settlements. However, as the usual, after converting them to cities, especially in macro regional plans, they are placed in the same group as service points for their rural jurisdictions. As a result, there is a need to introduce some methods and models for separating these small settlements to be able to offer different strategies for their development and role- taking in the region’s urban network. For this purpose, using SWOT analysis, a research has been done in 12 converted former villages to city centers during 2001-2011 in East Azerbaijan, Iran. The results show that with regard to structural-functional features of each settlement, it would be possible to place them in different groups and offer different strategies for each group. The model can be easily applied to small towns and rural centers almost in all and especially in the third world countries.

METHODS: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on patients transported by the HEMS centre of Tabriz from August 2014 to March 2017. Records of the centre were used to collect data. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS software version 20; the statistical significance level was considered below 0.05. RESULTS: In this study, 268 patients were transferred to Tabriz hospitals by 167 missions performed. The mean age of patients was 34.26±19.43, and 173 (65%) patients were male. The most common reason for call-out was the need for professional care (91.4%). The target of the majority of missions was on countryside routes. The mean distance of destinations was about 99.13±35.9 Kms, with a mean transference time of 54.68±14.17 minutes, while the mean estimated ground route time was 86.38±26.26 minutes.

  • Analysis of Land Use Change Using the Satellite Images and Gis
    8-10 September 2014- Istanbul, Turkey 737 Proceedings of SOCIOINT14- International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities ANALYSIS OF LAND USE CHANGE USING THE SATELLITE IMAGES AND GIS Hossein Nazmfar Associate Professor, Department of Geography and Urban Planning, Faculty of Humanities, University of Mohaghegh Ardabil, Ardabil, Iran Abstract The movement of residential and commercial land use to rural areas at the periphery of metropolitan areas has long been considered as sing of regional economic vitality. But it is benefits are increasingly balanced against ecosystem impacts, including degradation of air and water quality loss of form land and forests, and socioeconomic effects of economic disparities, social fragmentation and infrastructure costs. In this paper, we used Multitemporal Land sat Thematic Maper (TM) and Spot data for analyzing land use changes in Bonab County for 1989 and 2005. The compared of data maps showed that between 1989 and 2005 the urban land and build areas increased. So, if this process is continued at this trends, we will faced with an environmental crisis in this area and will be destroyed its beautiful natural landscape. The result quantify the land use change patterns in this area and demonstrate the potential of satellite images to provided an accurate, economical means to map and analyze changes in land use cover time that can be used as inputs to land management and policy decisions. Keywords: Land Use; Urban Growth; Remote Sensing; Bonab County. 1. INTRODUCTION All over the world, we see cities expanding by converting land use at the fringes from rural to urban a process that is usually referred to as green field development (Yuan et al.2004).
