  • 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.

    Persian Journal of Acarology, Vol. 1, No. 2, pp. 57−76 Article Raphignathoid mite fauna of fields and orchards of Marand (Northwestern Iran) with two new records from Iran and six new records for East Azerbaijan province Reza Navaei-Bonab1, Mohammad Bagheri2 & Elham Zarei2 1 Young Researchers Club, Marand Branch, Islamic Azad University, East Azerbaijan province, Iran; E-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Maragheh, Maragheh, Iran; [email protected] Key Words: Acari, new records, Iran, Raphignathoidea, Marand, fields and orchards Abstract A study of the raphignathoid mite fauna of fields and orchards in Marand, Northwestern Iran, revealed two new species for the mite fauna of Iran, namely: Eustigmaeus ioaniensis Kapaxidi & Papadoulis, 1999 and Agistemus industani Gonzalez-Roodrigez, 1965 and six species for mites new for the fauna of East Azerbaijan province and eight species new for the mite fauna of Marand. Stigmaeidae with 13 species and Barbutiidae and Camerobiidae with one species each had the highest and the lowest number of identified species, respectively. A key to the Iranian families and genera of Raphignathoidea are included. Introduction The Raphignathoidea Kramer, 1877 comprises a large cosmopolitan group of families, which are found in various ecosystems: foliage, branches, trunks, moss and lichen, litter, soil, animal nests, stored products, and even in house dust. The majority of the raphignathoid mites are free-living predators but a few are phytophagous, feeding on moss, and some species are parasites or symbionts of insects (Doğan, 2006). Amongst the predators, some are important biological control agents of spider mites, eriophyid mites, and scale insects in agriculture and forestry (Gerson & Smiley, 1990; Walter & Gerson, 1998; Fan & Zhang, 2005).

  • The Effects of Water Table Decline on the Groundwater Quality in Marand Plain, Northwest Iran
    Iranian Int. J. Sci. 6(1), 2005, p.47-60 The Effects of Water Table Decline on the Groundwater Quality in Marand Plain, Northwest Iran G.R. Lashkaripour1, A. Asghari-Moghaddam2, M. Allaf-Najib2 1 Department of Geology, University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Zahedan, Iran. 2 Department of Geology, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran. (received: 12/1/2005 ; accepted:11/3/2005) Abstract Marand plain, a part of the Caspian Sea catchment, stretching over an area of about 820 km2, in northwestern part of Iran is considered as a semi-arid zone. It has gained substantial importance because of agricultural prosperity and population density. Almost all water consumption needs are met from groundwater resources. In the last decades, rapid population growth coupled with agricultural expansion has significantly increased demand on groundwater resources. Large increases in water demand with little recharge have strained Marand groundwater resources resulting in declines in water levels and deterioration of groundwater quality in the major parts of the plain. It's worth mentioning that the paramount cause of sharp drop in the groundwater table in the recent years is conclusively attributed to pumping out of well water which confirmedly exceeds the level of the natural recharge. As a result, the average water level, for instance, has dropped from 1179.9 m to 1168.2 m during the years from 1982 to 2000. The prime objective of this research is to study and examine the groundwater decline and its effect on the quality of groundwater in the Marand aquifer for the said period. Keywords: aquifer, decline, groundwater, Iran, quality.

Physical development of cities is a dynamic and continuous process in which the physical space of the city expands vertically and horizontally. The growth of cities is one of the essential characteristics of urban societies, because change and evolution are among the fundamental and necessary features of any city. One of the problems facing humanity in the present century is increased and uncontrolled growth of cities, which has caused planners to seek a remedy. Among these problems, it can be pointed to the uncontrolled expansion of cities into suburbs where the construction is carried out without a previous plan. Physical development of cities is a dynamic process, and various natural and man-made (artificial) factors are effective in the formation and future development of the city. Achieving sustainable development requires awareness and recognition of the environment and identifying the factors affecting the development process of the city. To more deeply identify current issues and problems and make policy and plan for future developments of cities, it is necessary to recognize the factors and forces affecting the growth and development of them over the past decade.

But after converting to city, they have no special development plan and their authorities actually do not know about the problems to face with. This research has been done on 12 converted villages to cities in East Azerbaijan province (IRAN) by determining 100 indices in 9 main groups and using questionnaire, official data as well as geographical maps. After scoring each item and placing in a SWOT matrix it could be possible to propose special policies and plans for each settlements. The method can be easily applied in rural centers and small cities to help local authorities to make proper developmental decisions.

A cross sectional study was conducted from October 2014 to March 2015 in and around Marand city, Iran with the objectives to determine the prevalence of poultry coccidiosis. A total of 384 faecal samples Garedaghi Yagoob were examined using flotation technique to detect coccidian oocysts.

Among age group higher prevalence rates (47.6%) was observed in young (2-8 weeks) than adult chicken. Young chicken had 2.6 (OR=2.6, P>0.05) higher risk of acquiring coccidiosis than adult. Higher prevalence of 45.2% was recorded in intensive poultry birds as compared to chicken kept under extensive management system (24.6%). Even though relatively higher prevalence of coccidiosis was recorded in male (36.7%) than female chicken (34.5%), but no significant difference (P>0.05) was obtained.
