Community: Khalilabad Community: Khalilabad Country: Islamic Republic of Iran Population: 48686 Starting the safe community movement: 1996 Institution: Primary Health Care Network of Khalilabad Address: Primary Health Care Network, Imam Khomeini Street, Khalilabad, Khorasan Razavi Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. Zip Code: 9677115565 Tel: (+98) 5327727310-2 Fax :( +98) 5327727315 E-mail: [email protected] Mohammad Ali Mahdinejad: Governor& Head of Safe Community committee in Khalilabad Dr. Seyed Mehdi Hashemi: Head of Primary Health Care Network and Secretary of the Safe Community committee of Khalilabad Dr. Hassan Makarem: Senior Injury Expert & Technical Consultant of Safe Community movement in Khalilabad Engineer Javad Torkaman Nejad Sabzevari: Head of Secretariat of Safe Community committee of Khalilabad Introduction: Despite the fact that injuries consume a large number of health care resources, at least 5 million people worldwide die from injuries each year. (A mortality rate of 83 per 100,000 populations) Injuries account for 9% of world’s death and 12% of world’s burden. More than 90% of deaths occurred in low and middle income countries. In Islamic Republic of Iran as a middle income country (Gross National; income per capita =$ 3470), injuries are the first cause of burden (DALY=1962.9) and second cause of death (YLL=1259.4). On the other hand, the safe community is known as a community based solution oriented model in which community creates the capacity to address its disaster and injury challenges in a thoughtful and practical way. In this model there is a shift from individual to community based, to ensure everyone in the society is involved. This movement has been started in Khalilabad from 1996. We believe that Khalilabad can achieve the standards of an international safe community model regarding putting people and processes in place to ensure that a blend of strategic activities and community involvement will have a significant impact on the rate of its injuries wherever and however they occur. So that, the whole community, government and non government organizations that have a vested interest in community safety have become the main stakeholders. A summary of the Community: Khalilabad has been separated from Kashmar in 29th June 2002. This city is located on the southern part of Khorasan Razavi province and its antiquity as an urban spot traces back to 40 years ago. On the average, its about 1767.5 square kilometers, 975 meters above the sea level. The population of Khalilabad has been reported 48686 by the Statistical Center of Iran in 2009. Khalilabad is about 1000 kilometers far from Tehran and 240 kilometer far from Mashad. This city leads to Kashmar(115th international safe community) from the east and the north, to Bardaskan(136th international safe community ) from the west and to Gonabad and Mahvelat from the south and it contains two districts. 1. Khalilabad is the center of the main district that consists of two rural regions (Rastagh County with Ebrahimabad as its center and Dehestan County with Nasrabad as its center). 2. Sheshtaraz district with Kondor as its center consists of two districts (Sheshtaraz County with Kondor as its center and Kavir county Sa'dodin village as its center). This city benefits from the proximity of the mountains, valley, and desert having very cold winters, pleasant springs, mild summers, and beautiful autumns. Economically, it relies on agriculture, animal husbandry, and handicrafts. Population: Based on the latest census (2009), the population is about 48686 out of which 33130 (68.5%) in rural areas and 15556 (31.95%) in urban area. 23.37% are under 14 years old, 25.5% between 15 and 24 years old, 41.28% between 25 and 59 years old and 9.85% are above 60 years old. Male to female ratio is about 104.5, the average number of people per family is 2.4, 16.15 percent of the whole population are students, and the percentage of literacy is 93.53. The reasons for running a committee to promote safety& prevent injuries are: • Injuries are the second cause of death after cardiovascular disease in khalilabad. • Injuries (especially road traffic injuries) are the leading cause of burden. • Road traffic injuries cause high amount of years life lost and financial damages because high occurrence in the young age groups and breadwinners. • Most of Injuries are predictable and preventable with a simple intervention. • Islamic Republic of Iran is a disaster prone country, though it is almost impossible to fully recoup the damage caused by the disasters, we need to be prepared in order to minimize the potential risks. A summary about beginning of the movement: A Safe Community is one which reflects the passion and commitment of people who dream of a community that is free of injury and prepared for disasters, and who dare to commit to do something tangible to realize that dream. The safe community movement was started in Islamic Republic of Iran in the level of province in 1996. This pattern was piloted from 1997-1999 in Kashmar(khorasane Razavi), lahijan (Gilan), Booshehr (Booshehr), Shazand (Markazi) and Eslamshahr (Tehran). At that time khalilabad was a part of kashmar. This movement was followed till now and will be continued. Based on the Statistics: • Based on the injury registry and Statistics in 1998: Population based: 46473 (urban areas: 8277, rural areas: 38196) Number of injuries: 2109 A) The most common cause of injury was fall from same and different level(28.12%), followed by penetrating trauma (16.36%) and Road traffic injuries (12.85%). B) the most common type of injury was Cut, tear and scratch (43.48%), followed by Burning (15.12%). C) The most common field of injury was home (60.56%), followed by Street and road (10.38%). D) 61.02% injuries occurred in rural areas. E) Males were the most vulnerable group. (70.14%) F) 81.60% of the victims were recovered. G) the most vulnerable age groups were 0-9 years old (26.69%), followed by 10-19(25.98%) and 20-29 years old (15.98%). According to this data, the priorities were set as followings: 1. Home safety. 2. Road safety. 3. Child & young hood safety. 4. Prevent intentional injuries (emphasizing on violence & suicide). Goals of the program: A) Main purpose: Prevent injuries and promote safety and well being of all the citizens. B) Objective goals: 1. Reduce number of the injuries about 25% during the first three years after the beginning of the movement. 2. Reducing the mortality rate of injuries. (YLL: Year’s life lost) 3. Reducing the disabilities due to injury. (YLD: year’s life disability) Strategies: 1. Advocacy: sensitizing the policymakers around the communities for injury prevention & safety promotion. 2. Community engagement: a comprehensive and thoughtful plan to inform the community as the key stakeholders. 3. Capacity building: increasing public awareness. 4. Injury surveillance: ongoing, systematic data collection, interpretation and dissemination of data for public health actions to reduce the occurrence and severity (morbidity and mortality) of injuries 5. Epidemiologic investigation in order to determine the risk and protective factors. 6. Highlighting the vulnerable groups & risky behaviors in order to implement evidence based and solution oriented interventions. 7. Priority setting in the field of injury prevention & safety promotion. 8. Determining the responsibilities of each stakeholder. 9. Prepare disaster and injury prevention guidelines. 10. Providing appropriate and on time emergency service and medical care. 11. Ongoing participation the Safe Communities networks. The international indicators of the safe community: 1. An infrastructure based on partnership and collaborations, governed by a cross- sectional group that is responsible for safety promotion in their community; 2. Long-term, sustainable programs covering both genders and all ages, environments, and situations; 3. Programs that target high-risk groups and environments, and programs that promote safety for vulnerable groups; 4. Programs that document the frequency and causes of injuries; 5. Evaluation measures to assess their programs, processes and the effects of change; 6. Ongoing participation in national and international Safe Communities networks. The six Indicator s of safe community: 1. An infrastructure based on partnership and collaborations, governed by a cross- sectional group that is responsible for safety promotion in their community Regarding the national action plan, a safe community committee was formed. The governor (Mohammad Ali Mahdinejad) as the head of the committee, the manager of primary health care network (Dr. Seyed Mehdi Hashemi) as the secretary of the committee, and other stakeholders as the members of the committee are running their responsibilities. The secretariat is located in Center of disease control (CDC) of the Medical University.

This area belongs to the Khaf-Kashmar-Bardaskan volcano-plutonic belt (KKB-VPMB) of northeastern Iran along the E-W trending regional Dorouneh Fault. The mineralization is related to intrusive rocks with an area of approximately 65 km2 that intruded into Early Eocene volcanic rocks (andesite, andesite-basalt, trachy- andesite, and pyroclastic rocks), and is also cut by diabase dikes. Petrographic studies indicate that intrusive rocks consists mainly of syenite to monzonite with minor amount of syenite porphyry, monzonite porphyry, and diorite porphyry with granular and porphyritic texture, respectively. U-Pb dating of zircons from a syenite using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) yields an ages of ca.

  • Analytical Report on the Status of the Target Villages, Nov 2014.Pdf
    Analytical Report on the Status of the target Villages November 30th, 2014 Introduction Saffron value chain development program has been implemented since the end of year 2013 with the aim of promoting production and obtaining the maximum value added of saffron by the beneficiaries of this industry in various sectors of agriculture, processing and export of saffron with the cooperation of Agriculture Bank of Iran through United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). In the agricultural and production sector, according to studies carried out, there is no optimum performance and efficiency in comparison with the international standards and norms; in addition the beneficiaries of this sector do not obtain appropriate value from activities made in this sector. To this end, in one of the executive parts of this program, under improving the efficiency of saffron production, 20 villages in two provinces of southern and Razavi Khorasan were selected. The Characteristics of these villages, being as the center as well as being well known regarding the production of saffron, were the reasons of choosing these areas. Also, in all these villages, local experts and consultants, who have been trained by the executive project team and have been employed under this program will make technical advices to the farmers and hold different training courses for them. The following report is part of the data collected and analyzed by these consultants in 16 selected villages up to the reporting date. These reports, training courses, and technical advices, are an attempt to improve the manufacturing process, and increase production efficiency and product quality in the production of saffron.

  • Arachnida: Araneae)
    Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics (IJAB) Vol. 1, No. 1, 59-66, 2005 ISSN: 1735-434X Faunistic study of spiders in Khorasan Province, Iran (Arachnida: Araneae) OMID MIRSHAMSI KAKHKI* Zoology Museum, Faculty of Sciences, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, IRAN The spiders of Iran are still very incompletely known. As a result of the study of spider fauna in different localities of Khorasan Province and other studies which have been done by other workers a total of 26 families, 63 genera and 95 species are recorded from these areas. Distribution in Khorasan Province and in the world, field and some taxonomic notes are given for each species. Available biological or ecological data are provided. Key Words: Araneae, spider fauna, Khorasan, Iran INTRODUCTION The order Araneae ranks seventh in global diversity after the five insect orders (Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, and Hemiptera) and Acarina among the Arachnids in terms of species described (Coddington and Levi, 1991). Because spiders are not studied thoroughly estimation of total diversity is very difficult. On the basis of records, the faunas of Western Europe, especially England, and Japan are completely known, and areas such as South America, Africa, the pacific region and the Middle East are very poorly known (Coddington and Levi, 1991). Platnick in his World Spider Catalog (2005) has estimated that there are about 38000 species worldwide, arranged in 110 families. Despite this diversity among spiders, limited studies could be found in literature on spider fauna of Iran. Indeed, taxonomic and faunistic studies on spiders of Iran have begun during the last 10 years. Before that our knowledge of Iranian spiders was limited to the studies of some foreign authors such as Roewer (1955); Levi (1959); Kraus & Kraus (1989); Brignoli (1970, 72, 80, 81); Senglet (1974); Wunderlich (1995); Levy & Amitai (1982); Logunov (1999,2001,2004); Logunov et al (1999, 2002); Saaristo et al(1996) .

Read Full License Page 1/25 Abstract Global warming due to increasing carbon dioxide emissions over the past two centuries has had numerous climatic consequences. The change in the behavior and characteristics of extreme weather events such as temperature and precipitation is one of the consequences that have been of interest to researchers worldwide. In this study, the trend of 3 extreme indices of temperature: SU35, TR20, and DTR over two future periods have been studied using downscaled output of 3 GCMs in Razavi Khorasan province, Iran. The results show that the range of temperature diurnal variation (DTR) at three stations of Mashhad, Torbat-e-Heydarieh and Sabzevar during the base period has been reduced signicantly. The trend of the number of summer days with temperatures above 35°C (SU35) in both Mashhad and Sabzevar stations was positive and no signicant trend was found at Torbat-e-Heydarieh station. The number of tropical nights index (TR20) also showed a positive and signicant increase in the three stations under study. The results showed highly signicant changes in temperature extremes. The percentage of changes in SU35 index related to base period (1961–2014) for all three models (CNCM3, HadCM3 and NCCCSM) under A1B and A2 scenarios indicated a signicant increase for the future periods of 2011–2030 and 2046–2065.

Abstract The remains of natural and human activities in some parts of the earth register as geopark. Actually, geopark is one or more geological phenomenon which is important from ecological, historical, cultural and archeological view. The aim of geotourism description in an area and creating a geopark is trying to keep the earth's inheritance and locality the economic of the area. Iran with an old history, diversity of the environment and a lot of geological phenomenon has a great potential in creating geoparks. From this point of view, we can divide it into 5 geotourism area which are North, South, East, West and Central of Iran. One of the deposed area is Kashmar which is located in Kharasan Razavi province in northeast of Iran. This area because of the nearness into the desert is hot and dry. The main rocks of the area are volcanic rocks and from stratigraphical view, there are Paleozoic (Cambrian – Ordovician – Silurian – Devonian), Mesozoic (Triassic – Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous) and Cenozoic (Middle Eocene – Upper Miocene) units.

In order to, the aim of current research is assessment of regional development using taxonomy model in the Razavi Khorasan province of Iran. Applied methodology is based on descriptive- analytical methods. we have used of numerical taxonomy as an most common approaches to categorize of development level in the Khorasan Razavi cities. Results show that Torbat- E- Jam (0.5) city has the highest level of development in case study region, while Fariman (0.15) has the lowest level. Finally, in the end of this presented some solve ways. KEY WORDS: Urban Development, Regional Development, Razavi Khorasan, Taxonomy I. INTRODUCTION Regional development is a broad term but can be seen as a general effort to reduce regional disparities by supporting (employment and wealth-generating) economic activities in regions. In the past, regional development policy tended to try to achieve these objectives by means of large-scale infrastructure development and by attracting inward investment.

This research has been carried out in an area where most of the drilled wells have faced the problem of sand generation in various dimensions. Many drill holes in Bardaskan City, Khorasan Province, their layers at depths of more than 90 meters, face the challenge of drilling, due to the presence of loam and silty sand, which first requires the drilling of wells at low distances and, secondly, the average life of the wells in these areas is generally less than 8 years and in most cases between 6 and 8 years of age. Furthermore, the problem of cutting or collapsing the tube, especially in the highest part of the first network, is also indirectly correlated with the generation of sand in the wells.

  • Evaluation of Land Subsidence in Kashmar-Bardaskan Plain, NE Iran
    Iranian Journal of Earth Sciences IJES Vol. 12, No. 4, 2020, 280-291. Evaluation of land subsidence in Kashmar-Bardaskan plain, NE Iran 1 1 1 Hamid Saeidi , Gholamreza Lashkaripour* , Mohammad Ghafoori 1. Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran Received 18 September 2019; accepted 16 May 2020 Abstract The development of agriculture and industry and the increase of population in countries with arid to semi-arid climates have led to more harvesting of groundwater resources and as a result land subsidence in different parts of the worlds. Decades of groundwater overexploitation in the Kashmar-Bardaskan plain in the north-east of Iran has resulted substantial land subsidence in this plain. The plain is considered as an arid to semi-arid zone and facing a negative water balance. The average annual precipitation in the plain is around 191 mm and the evaporation rate is 3956 mm. According to the unit hydrograph of the plain, the annual decline of water level is 1.12 m. In this study, the velocity of subsidence has been determined using Interferometric SAR technique (In-SAR) and radar images of Envisat ASAR and Sentinel-1 for a time period from 2003 to 2017. The results of an InSAR time series analysis indicated that an area of 1200 km2 with different speeds of 5 to 26 cm/year in the satellite line of sight (LOS) is subsiding. The results showed that in addition to the decline of groundwater level, subsurface conditions such as sediments types (fine-grained layers) and their thickness also affect the occurrence and amount of land subsidence.
