Following a rapid increase in population and the prevalence of urban problems after World War II, the building of new cities has become one of the most important urban policies for alleviating these problems in large cities. However, these policies have failed in developing countries due to lack of detailed plans and lack of attention to the quality of urban life. New towns can reduce the growing trend of problems in metropolitan cities only when they can offer a high quality of life to citizens.Today, quality of life and methods of improving it are the main aim of plans developed by planners and thinkers as both the aim of and the means for sustainable development. So, the importance of quality of life on the one hand and the necessity of building new cities to reduce urban problems on the other hand have led us to investing at equality of life in the new city of Binalud in the present study. In addition to identifying the factors affecting these weaknesses and challenges, this study presents ways to enhance quality of life. In terms of methodology; this research is descriptive-analytical. Data collection has been conducted using a questionnaire. Data obtained from the questionnaire have been analyzed using the SPSS software and the following tests: Pearson, t-test, crosstabs, chi square and Spearman. The results showed that quality of life is at a very low level. According to the results, there is a significant relationship between quality of life and the following variables: age, duration of residence, gender, marital status, and employment. However, there is no significant relationship between the level of education and quality of life.

In aspect of sustainable development, social capital beside natural capital, human development and human capital, is integral part of the wealth of nations, and is one of the key factors of rural areas development to eliminate inequalities. This research study spatial analysis Level of Rural areas development of East Azerbaijan Province in aspect of sustainable development indicators and its relationship from social capital using descriptive and analytical methods. Research statistical population are 19 counties and 43 indicators for measuring sustainable development rural areas of East Azerbaijan and 384 households as the sample size for the concept of social capital. Data collection tools are the questionnaire, and sampling method has Simple randomized. Data analysis has been done using Excel and SPSS software in this research. results of numerical taxonomy show that the from 19 counties, rural areas of Maragheh and Marand counties are The first level of development, and 2 city Charaoymaq, Khdaafryn are in the last Fourth level of development . So rural areas of Tabriz, Marageh, Marand and Myaneh counties are at the very high Level and Julfa, Harris, Ajabshir, Varzeqan, Khdaafryn, Charoymag counties are at very low levels in aspect of social capital. These results show deep inequality among rural areas in terms of sustainable development and social capital indicators. Results show that dimensions of social capital has a significant relationship with sustainable development, which among these dimensions, social participation has the greatest impact with 0.415%. In generally, between sustainable development of rural areas and social capital is significant relationship with 0.99 percent. Therefore, rural areas that have participation, confidence, cooperation, and cohesion, have more developmental range. Hence social capital is affect for achieving sustainable development in rural areas with an average of 3.85.

Creativity and innovation are now becoming the main pillars of sustainable development. In this regard, rural entrepreneurship especially in tourism and ecotourism phase could help to rural economic development near the other dimension, by identifying the benefits, limitations, strengthes and weakness of rural tourism and ecotorism based on strategic planning. Although the concept of ecotourism as the ideal of Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development is based on the global current, eliminating many ecosystems, the role of human interference in the nature is more than that of natural conditions. Because of this, there is still a vulnerable stability condition without resistance. Other scholars including Carter and Caudal are in doubt about tourism and environmental sustainability; they believe that sustainable tourism, despite its obligations under environmental conditions, would not be achievable. However, some people like Butler believe that in spite of numerous investigations in this area, we must await the results and the related successful outcomes in the future. However, using the appropriate setting for the leisure environment, population is catchy. Ecotourism is able to use the increased powers of environmental cooperation, its economic impact, environmental protection, sustainable development and mobility and dynamism in the local and regional economy. Firstly, ecotourism planning, as a multi-criteria decision making problem is formulated using the SWOT technique. Therefors, the key question here is that what the appropriate strategies are in order to tourism and ecotourism entrepreneurship development in valley- rivers rural region of Tehrran proviance? For attain to this purpose, this article present the focal strategy for tourism and ecotourism entrepreneurship development in rural region by using of Survey and field studies in tow level include: Business owners and villagers, through of SWOC (SWOT) technique. Then by using of ecotourism function, a defined valley by implementing the SWOT method in several stages and overlapping atittud the centeral strategies for entrepreneurship ecotourism development in villages selected. Results showed central strategy is defensive that have 8 subset.

Rural settlement as smallest geographical units, are influenced by different factors such as natural, social, cultural, historical and economical ones in geographical area and they have been formed on the basis of human being and environment relationships. So, with respect to their geographical area a variety of different shapes of villages have been formed and in spite of homogeneity, existing differences among them for rural development is worthwhile to be studied. Also, rural development is strategy which is designed to improve the economic and social life of a specific group of people (the rural poor) design and is part of developmental program of every Country that is used to change social-economical structure of rural Community. With respect to the fact that the main business of Rawansar town is agriculture and most people living there spend entire or most of their life in the villages, determining influencing factors on its being developed or not being developed is necessary. So, the purpose of this study which is descriptive-analytical is determining development level of villages of Rawansar town. Therefore, development level of place-space of villages of Rawansar town has been analyzed using factor analysis and with 37 indicators which were reduced to 5 factors. The first factor which is economical-social one has the highest percent of variances and most influences in development level of villages of Rawansar town. Also, development level has been evaluated by Kernel density estimation method which showed that southern and south-eastern villages of Rawansar town are more developed than its other villages.

Lake Zariar sediments in Kurdistan province with covering the time period of 10,000 years were examined for type of grain size and the contents of diatoms. Reconstructions of the variations in lake water level, changes in grain size sediments and salinity from 688 cm core extracted from near west coast of lake suggest a sequence of climatic and environment changes. Two stages of low and varying lake-water level occurred in 6870–5500, and 3170-1300 cal yr BP with high content of sand decrease in content of silt, fresh-water and oligotraphentic forms with distinct increase peak of brackish-water forms, mesotraphentic forms and Cymbella ehrenbergii species. The more increase in brakish-water forms is associated with Anomoeoneis Sphaerophora forms in 6000 cal yr BP. Two stages of high lake-water level occurred in 6870–5500 and 3170-1300 cal yr BP with high content of silt decrease in content of sand increase in contents of fresh-water species and low percentages or near disappearance of brackishwater forms including A. sphaerophora increase in Cymbella leptoceros species with olligotraphentic and decrease in eutrophic forms. Other purpose of this study aimed to investigate coastline and water level changes of lake and identify the causes for the decline in lake level using four satellite imagery from 2003 to 2011 and GIS technique, preparing and processing, classifying the images and extract the land use map for these time periods. From 2003 to 2011, the water surface area of the Zeribar Lake decreased from 21.71 to 13.04 km2, a loss of 39.95% over the only 8-years period.

Abstract Spatial integration of settlements around metropolitan areas with central cities and urban transport development has created a phenomenon as day trips. This phenomenon in cities and villages around metropolitan areas and due to the economic and social structures of can be seen with differences. In our country official statistics of this population since have not been released, but the 1385 census was the first attempt to study this population. In this study, we try to consider the location and spatial distribution of the phenomenon is known around the metropolises of the country with usage of extraction analysis and spatial statistics. Based on the research findings, this phenomenon exists in all metropolises of the country, but in terms of spatial distribution, the big cities are different. Based on the spatial analysis performed in the metropolises of Isfahan, Tehran and Shiraz, this phenomenon from spatial perspective is cluster that represents spatial heterogeneity in the metropolitans, So that the highest values are found in the vicinity of metropolitans. The data contained in the Tabriz metropolitan area has an irregular distribution, hence, this phenomenon is not at the level of the Metropolitan scattered and not as a cluster has a specific place.

For optimization management planning of the water resources, particular in vast watershed, recognition of the hydrological relationships to determine influential hydrological factors in the hydrologic drought is necessary. Drought is one of the natural factors which in recent decades damaged many areas and environments in not only in Iran but also in the world. This research investigates factors that influence the hydrological drought analysis in Lorestan watershed province. In this research, we first selected 25 stations of Lorestan province which were suitable in geographic transmittance status and area varieties. The physiographical data of considered stations were derived through the topographic maps. These data were analyzed by factor analysis for 15 measured variables in the considered stations by R-3-1-1 statistical software. The Results have showed that the factors of rainfall, area, drainage density, and areas with poor vegetation as main factors have stated 84.684 percent of total variations in the total selected data. Then, four selected factors were classified in to two homogenous groups by the cluster analysis. In order to test the accuracy of the cluster analysis in the homogenous areas, discriminant analysis was performed. Based on the four main selected factors in two homogenous areas, we have derived a differentiating function. The differentiating function coefficients in the standard mode showed that in the formed function, average rainfall and area with weight factor of 0.979 and 0.877, respectively, were the most significant group differentiator variables. Finally the coefficient correlation values indicate that these two groups are distinct from each other.

Abstract Introduction: Gonbad Kavoos province is considered as one of the poles of wheat production. This product is mainly planted in a dry way and before plantation the farmers wait for the first proper rainfall so that water supply could be provided for germination and the next steps. Therefore, to arrange a farming calendar, it is required to be aware of the probable dates of such rainfalls. Also during cultivation it is vital to know the no-raining days since it causes land humidity and pest. So, the purpose of this research is to provide a timetable to be used as a farming calendar by farmers for planting and cultivation. To prepare this table rainfall statistics more than 5 mm and less than 1 mm were obtained from related organizations to start planting and cultivation periods from 9 stations located in the area in 15 years. Then the date of rainy days during planting and cultivation was identified and turned into Julius day. The achieved numbers were practiced with different statistical distributions and the best one was selected. After that, the probable date of the considered raining was calculated in the first month of fall and the last month of spring. To estimate its accuracy 5 % of practiced days were randomly selected. The amount of rainfall was extracted from the stations located in the area. Also, synoptic information was taken from the site three days earlier from c. d. c. site and the maps of its various levels were drawn by Grads. Moreover, the source of systems, the cause of rain, the route and their humid sources and also the condition of rainfall factors were analyzed in the area. The results indicated that we could correctly estimate the time, amount, source and the route of raining systems in the beginning and at the end of planting season by the help of probability law and then arrange a farming calendar

Estimation of rainfall in areas without stations is very important due to the lack of meteorological stations and significance of rainfall in various planning strategies. In this research, the daily rainfall data from 46 rain-gauge and synoptic stations in the Kermanshah province in a 20-year period has been used to estimate the seasonal and annual average rainfall in the region. To do this, univariate methods (deterministic and geostatistical) and multivariate methods (geostatistical and linear regression) have been used. The usual method for spatial estimation of rainfall in previous studies in Iran has been the use of one variable (usually altitude), and also default settings of the interpolation methods. However, in this study, firstly, in the multivariate methods, in addition to the altitude, other variables such as slope percent, latitude and longitude have been used as covariates (independent variables). Secondly, instead of using the default values of the models, various settings were performed on the 8 parameters in the deterministic methods, and up to 31 parameters in the geostatistical methods depending on the interpolation method used, and then the effect of each method was evaluated in the precipitation estimates considering the error of each method. For example, in the geostatistical methods, optimized semivariogram and covariogram were determined in each case according to the spatial structure of the variable, and then their characteristics were adjusted by taking into account the lowest errors in the estimation of precipitation. The results of cross-validation technique showed that the deterministic methods have more errors than the geostatistical methods in all cases. To estimate the average spring rainfall, linear multivariate regression method, and for average summer and autumn rainfalls, ordinary kriging method, and finally for average winter and annual rainfalls, ordinary cokriging method were selected as the best methods. Based on this, the average annual rainfall in the province was estimated about 479 mm (346 to 848 mm), with maximum seasonal rainfall of 212 mm in winter (equivalent to 44.3% of the annual rainfall).

Neo tectonics is one of the factors in the formation of river terraces in the northwestern Zagros.This study examines the impact of the neo tectonics on the formation of river terraces along.In equality in the number of terraces and their height in both sides of Gilan-e-gharb river comprises the main issue in this study. For this, at first the assessment of activity of the neotectonicsarea was performed by using geomorphic indicators (SL, S, smf) and geomorphological evidences of neo tectonics activity in the area. To examine the effect of the neo tectonicson the formation of river terraces, three topographic profiles in the beginning, middle and end of understudy interval of the riverwith different distances from Gilan-e-gharb thrust were analyzed. The quantitative results of geomorphic indicators and studying geomorphologic evidence simplicate on severity of neo tectonics activities in the region. Investigation of terraces profile indicates asymmetry of terraces in both sides of the river such that three terraces in the left shore and in right shore, along river close to Gilan-e-gharb thrust, respectively 3, 4 and 5 terraces were formed that the height of this terraces from riverbed does not equal. So, in regard to inequality in the number and the height of the terraces and increasing the number of terraces near Gilan-e-gharb thrust, we can conclude that neotectonics is the main factor in the formation and existing disorders in the number and height of terraces. In this study 10m Digital Elevation Model, 1:20000 aerial photographsin 1968 and IRS satellite images as study data, were used and field surveys were utilized to identify geomorphological evidences.
