Due to the relative ease of movement in different areas and direct observation of various cases, the study of dry lands has so far made great progress, and almost all dry lands have been examined and valuable and almost comprehensive information have been achieved on the Earth’s layers, strata, minerals, land features (the lay of the land), history and changes. But, it is almost only half a century since the beginning of marine geology, and this field is only taking first steps in its examinations. There is no information on the depths of the oceans and their beds save a little information recently obtained.

Land and its assignment to various urban activities such as residence, work, leisure, etc., in other words, land use planning has always been a major activity in urban life. The land use planning during the history of urban development and urban civil engineering, especially in the last century, has had different approaches and perspectives. Each of these perspectives, in turn, has affected this science and fulfilled some of its goals, but the last view that seems to satisfy all the objectives of land use planning for residents is the perspective of stable development, since it has a comprehensive view of urban land use (economic, social, physical, and environmental) and thus can be successful in establishing an efficient and correct relationship between all aspects of urban life. In this article, after introducing different perspectives on the land use system and their impacts, the notion of sustainable development in land use planning will be described and in the following, identification of policies and strategies that will help to achieve stability in relation to planning process will be addressed.

City is considered as one of the human-made phenomena in the environment, created with the aims of settlement, livelihood provision, social and economic relations and so on, but these are not considered as urban aims. The man has provided his own environment and has begun to live in it. Cities should be based on the role and responsibilities they have in their region, and be developed in all aspects in a manner that minimizes their negative effects. Therefore, urban planning needs to be implemented in such a way that settlements and organizational patterns and the type of human activities be looked upon as a large community. Therefore, the main goal is based on the principle that urban planning be coherent. The urban hierarchy, according to a definition, is the classification of cities located in a geographical area based on population indices and the importance of their official functions, so that they can be categorized into different groups by calculation and measurable order. As we know, urban hierarchy is uneven in many provinces of our country, and there are many differences between cities in terms of ranking according to indicators. The cities of Fars province do not have regular hierarchies, and certain causes and factors have lead these hierarchies to be problematic. In this research, the urban hierarchy of Fars province has been studied based on three different patterns, the results have been compared with each other, and its hierarchy has been determined and some strategies to improve its ranking have been presented.

Modern cities abound with insecurity and social damages. Provision of security in a city which has developed and extended formlessly and inordinately on the scale of thousands of kilometers seems very difficult, if not impossible. For this reason, large cities which have now gone beyond human aspects and suffer from every kind of conflicts and irregularities have led to appearance of all-out damages, so that they seem unable to supervise and control irregular behaviors and make human environments safe for different social groups in any of social, cultural and economic aspects. This is why they are basically considered unsafe environments
In this regard, urban security is one of the important scientific, technical, practical and official matters that is now examined as an interdisciplinary and comprehensive field in terms of urban sociology, laws, geography and police-security sciences, and deals with the destiny of the body of citizens, the totality of social and economic system of the country and the city, and specially the large-scale security issues.
Tehran, the two-hundred-year-old capital of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has assumed a multi-lateral character in political, cultural and economic terms through various historical stages. This has led to heavy concentration of population and economic and cultural activities, as well as vast physical development.
This situation has caused lack of coordination among activities, population, space, infrastructures and security equipment, so that Tehran has become the hotpot of urban crimes and insecurity among all the cities of Iran. The increasing growth and vertical and horizontal extension of Tehran, especially after the Revolution, as well as initial migrations after Iran-Iraq war, caused to the emergence of social, economic and housing issues that led to a major gap between the police’s limited potentials and the increase and breadth of crimes and new criminal equipment.
Concentration of crimes is not the same at all twenty two districts of Tehran. In this paper, the city of Tehran and the security issues concerning the daily-increasing physical and demographic development of this city have been studied, and the Ozgol 164 police station and its area of activity, which includes districts 4, 5, 6, and 10, have been investigated as a case study.

Flood, as one of the most important natural disasters, has always been considered by human being, and in recent years the need to pay more attention to it is felt by the development of population, industrial and agricultural centers and increase of damage caused by flood. In this study, through a statistical survey and using the conventional statistical distribution in hydrology, it has been tried to estimate the magnitude and time of occurrence of flood in the watershed of Mohammad Abad in Gorgan with more accuracy. For this purpose, using the Smada software, the maximum daily flow rate in different return periods for each month was determined using appropriate statistical distribution. Estimates have shown that the appropriate statistical distribution is the Log Pearson Type 3. Floods with a return period of less than 25 years are more likely to occur in May and floods with long return periods, namely 25 to 200 years, in November. Furthermore, by determining the capacity of the Mohammad Abad River passage, it became clear that the village located at the downstream of the basin with floods with a return period of more than 25 years suffers from flood concentration and damage. Therefore, flood management plans need to receive greater consideration in these months in order to minimize the life and financial losses due to potential flood occurrences.

The planning of new cities in the world over the last century has been used in response to changing social and economic conditions and national planning priorities, and each country, in the context of its development, has planned and practiced the construction of new cities, and has used it as a means of addressing urban and regional problems, or as a motivation for economic revitalization of regions that have suffered from economic recession as well as for development of less developed areas.
New cities in Iran have been entered the urban planning system and constructed under various headings over the last three to four decades. Increasing urban population and the need to create new urban centers that can accommodate the extra population is one of the effective factors in construction of such cities. These cities are built to prevent the spread of large cities and metropolitan areas which are faced with numerous problems such as rising rents, high prices of land and housing costs. The experience of building new Iranian cities and their positive and negative points is of special importance. In this paper, we tried to study the status of new cities and their positive and negative points as one of the experiences of urbanization, and it is hoped that its results could be effective.

The Internet is one of the new technologies that can accelerate the progress of developing countries through the approach of developmental communication. The history of these countries testifies to the fact that the transfer of technology without its adaptation with the host country's economic, social, cultural and political conditions will only lead to disruption of their internal order and balance, and eventually pushing them towards becoming an unbalanced country whose various parts are not subsystems of a national super-system. Therefore, employment and development of Internet services in these countries requires care, expertise and study, so that while considering the general conditions of the host country and the causes hindering the impact of this new technology, the scientific process of adaptation and provision of grounds be conducted in such a way that society will ultimately benefit from its advantages and undertake its guidance.
Utilization of the Internet in developing countries has grown rapidly in recent years, but this expansion is mostly an urban phenomenon, and the majority of rural communities still cannot sufficiently use the services existing in their neighboring urban communities. Therefore, relevant organizations such as FAO should lead the development and expansion of the Internet in order to meet the needs of rural and farmer communities, and the comprehensive strategy of FAO should: - Provide grounds for regional policy-making and coordination with the aim of employment of the Internet in the service of rural development. - Make the users in developing countries familiar with relevant information services available on the Internet and FAO. - Support innovative Internet applications and information services for rural development.

Caspian Sea is the largest lake on earth and its normal surface is lower than the free water level of oceans. It is surrounded by the five countries of Islamic Republic of Iran, Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. Therefore, this sea is of special economic and political importance for these countries as well as other countries of South Asia. Currently, what has concerned these countries about their coastal lines is the advance of water toward their shores since 1977. In this regard, it has been tried to provide a brief discussion about the fluctuating behavior of the sea to determine whether there have been examples of this behavior with such strength in the past, or it is an exceptional state of water surface behavior. Do these fluctuations follow the rules of cyclical behavior common to other phenomena in the nature?
It is hoped that in this way a solution will be found for problems in coastal protective and preparatory planning. In this article, the relationship between climate change and fluctuating behavior of sea level is examined, and then a pattern for describing this behavior in historical periods is proposed.

This paper summarizes the changes in gas reaction and climate tracing in the Holocene period (about 10,000 years ago), with respect to the four glacier periods of the past. The industrial era, which usually begins in the 18th century, is associated with increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases as a result of fossil fuels and land use changes, and these are linked to an increase in the average temperature of the earth's surface during the last decade of the twenty-first century. However, the analyses carried out by Ruddiman, which take the Holocene era and the urban community into consideration, have unprecedentedly compared changes in atmospheric greenhouse gases with that of glacial records of the past four hundred thousand years. During this period, carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH4) have increased, and this increase is probably due to the beginning of agricultural activities and land clearing in Eurasia. These and other changes in land use resulting from agricultural and rural activities may cause poor climatic change and prevent land’s temperature fall, or maybe due to natural forces. Although the early evidence supports the theory of Ruddiman, forestry and agricultural activities during the period of urban community may have exerted an impact on the climate equal to at least eight thousand years of the past.

The centers in which most human activities and fumes from pollutants, cars, and … are accumulated and appear as nodes in urban environments, form thermal islands. The heat generated by these islands, in addition to increasing energy consumption due to cooling, causes pollution in the atmosphere, including production of ozone gas and increase of other harmful compounds of carbon and sulfur. Considering the mentioned issues, the present study attempts to introduce and recognize the pollutants in the Ahwaz city environment, examine their effect on the creation of thermal islands and also explain and propose strategies for their prevention, such as specialization of urban planning, prevention of mass construction, etc.

The experiences of developed and developing countries indicate that establishment of industrial districts and settlements and small industrial workshops near rural areas have always created many socio-economic, physical-spatial and environmental changes on small and large scales. Based on this, the creation of industrial areas and settlements in the city of Shahreza, which has been formed in the vicinity of its villages, has also caused natural, human, economic, spatial and environmental changes that were examined in this study. Based on this, in order to understand the effect of workshop industries in rural areas, it seems necessary that, while introducing the concept of small workshop-based industries and the factors affecting them, the implications of the establishment of these industries in rural areas in a social and economic assessment be evaluated. Therefore, we determined to examine the social and economic consequences of the creation of workshop-based industries on rural development by conducting a case study in 5 industrial districts and settlements within Shahreza, and discuss the most important strengths and weaknesses of the establishment of workshop industries in order to achieve the goals of sustainable rural development, in which regard the following hypotheses were elaborated:
1- Establishment and development of workshop industries in the vicinity of rural areas of Shahreza as complementary to and supporting agricultural sectors will increase the employment and income sources and attract more workforce than mere agricultural activities in rural areas. 2. Further improvement of the social, economic and spatial situation of villages in rural areas of Shahreza city is possible only through the investment of local villagers (through the participation of villagers accompanied by bank credits and urban partners)

No region is independent from the point of view of climate, and the dominant climatic pattern in one region affects other regions, because there is a systematic atmospheric relationship between them in spite of climatic disparities between different regions; for instance changes occurring in tropical regions cause atmospheric differences between the areas of mid-latitude and other areas.In general, there is always a completely distinct relationship between dominant weather conditions in high latitudes and those of low latitudes. Therefore, the earth's atmosphere works as a single system, in such a way that the change of air circulation from an area of the northern hemisphere to other parts affects the upstream or downstream of that region (Busher, translated by Qaemi, 1994).
The purpose of this paper is to present the variable state of air circulation, help provide a relative knowledge of climate change and unusual situations of pressure and air flow in the North Atlantic. The behavior of pressure systems in the Atlantic Ocean affect each other, and on the other hand they can also affect the climate of Iran directly or indirectly (Alijani, 1987). Hence, the knowledge of the status of these systems will be a basis for understanding the origin of some climatic behaviors in Iran. In order to understand the synoptic patterns generated from different phases of the North Atlantic oscillation, pressure distribution and abnormalities on the surface of the earth and in the Atlantic Ocean have been considered.

Aerial photos contain details of land features. A photo interpreter systematically reviews photos and regularly utilizes other auxiliary materials, such as maps and field observation reports. According to this study, interpretation is carried out according to physical nature of features and phenomena on the photos. Interpretation may be implemented at different levels of complexity: from simple recognition of phenomena on the earth to extraction of detailed information, considering the complexity of the interactions between surface and subterranean features.

Today, proper management of water resources without accurate information about them is impossible. On the other hand, utilization of existing traditional methods in estimating the amount of water resources in snow catchment areas (basins mostly filled with snowfall), in addition to practical problems and high costs, is unable to provide with sufficient precision due to hardships in access to areas difficult to pass. The news of surprising floods over the past decade are examples of this inability to estimate these resources and the consequent loss of human and agricultural resources. Considering the dynamic nature of snow basins, technology of remote sensing has been introduced as a much better tool compared to traditional methods in terms of up-to-date information, accessibility and reasonable cost, and has found vast applications in management of water resources. In this paper, the method of estimating the two important parameters of level and depth of snow basin through combination of information from remote sensing images and new aerial laser systems (airplane and helicopter) using GPS satellite positioning methods and new technique of DGPS are proposed and described.

Remote sensing is a science that provides valuable information on objects and land features by measuring distances from afar and without physical contact.
In remote sensing, information can be obtained by measuring and recording the reflections of electromagnetic waves of atmosphere and ground level, which are received by sensors installed on satellites, and after their analysis, the necessary information is extracted.
There are three major factors of reflection, absorption and passage in the collision of electromagnetic waves with any phenomenon, each of which depends on the wavelength of radiated energy and physical and chemical properties of the phenomenon, and the energy reflection from any phenomenon on the Earth is a function of wavelength, molecular and intracellular properties of the phenomenon and other physical characteristics of the objects under measurement. The satellite data originally contains various geometric and radiometric errors that are affected by satellite, sensor and atmospheric conditions, as well as errors in recording, transmission of information and other related issues.
Satellite data become valuable and useful after making geometric and radiometric corrections. By performing geometric corrections, satellite information is readily to for analysis and utilization.

Anyone who has not seen photos of astronauts in suspended state on their spaceships is aware that many biological, chemical or medical experiments (for example, on the Spacelabs) have been carried out in a weightless state. Specifically, this weightlessness occurs at the point of the center of gravity (i.e., only one point inside the spaceship); in other points there is a small and measurable acceleration relative to this point. This is caused by gravity of the earth. In fact, satellite gravimetry is the measurement of relative acceleration. The goal of gravimetry is to measure gravity on the earth with such measurements in the spaceship.

A variety of igneous rocks originating from the earth’s mantle contain primary diamond sources, which are the main host rocks for diamonds, kimberlites and lamproite. Primary diamonds or fake (graphite in place of diamonds), and also alkaline basalts and peridotites of Alpine Cumminsky type (1984) have been found in some lamprophyres; however, significant amounts of diamonds have not yet been found in these stones. Secondary diamond deposits come from these original source rocks affected by weathering and transportation. These deposits are usually rich in high quality diamonds. Examples of these include the Ural Mountains (the former Soviet Union), Namibian sea deposits and the West African, Brazilian and Venezuelan river sediments. The determination of rocks that have potential for these deposits is not possible through mineralogy of the existing debris phases. The nature and origin of secondary diamond deposits are not the subject of this discussion.

In this study, data of eleven climate variables (wind direction, wind speed, dry temperature, wet temperature, relative humidity and station atmospheric pressure) for 9:00 GMT, which is equivalent to 12:30 in Iran, and the minimum temperature, maximum Temperature, total precipitation, evaporation and sunny hours of Tabas station during the years 1985-2004 were examined. Due to its proximity to the climatic middle of the day, it is a better representative of the weather conditions of a day. Therefore, we only used the data of this hour. In addition to examining the studied time, 3825 days had complete data for the variables mentioned. The matrix (3825 × 1150) was standardized, and then, a cluster analysis was carried out on this matrix, the length of which was the number of days and the width of the variables, and finally three synchronous weather types were obtained.

Most countries need maps of 1: 50,000 or smaller scales, such as 1: 100,000 and 1: 250,000: 1, for use in civilian constructions and military activities. In design of ground military operations, most of the maps used are of 1: 50,000: scale, and for this reason, these maps should be accurate, up-to-date, reliable and timely (prepared instantly). Throughout the world, the main source of data for preparation of 1: 50,000 topographic maps are up-to-date photographs. Due to a number of technical problems and other issues described in the paper, the production of linear analogue or digital maps of 1: 50,000 directly and by using aerial photographs in appropriate scales is not practiced in Turkey. Instead, first analogue or digital linear maps are produced on a scale of 1:25,000 using aerial photographs, and then topographic maps of scale 1: 50,000 are derived from 1: 25,000 maps using the generalization technique. It is also possible to produce topographic maps of 1: 50,000 scale directly using Mono or Stereo photographs with good resolution available in the market. In this research, the methods of production of topographic maps of 1:50,000 scale from aerial photographs in appropriate scale and Spot Satellite’s panchromatic stereo images have been compared and examined in terms of time and speed of production, the main components related to cost, the ability to discover and interpret 330 different features existing in the standard for preparation of 1: 25000: 1 and 1: 50,000 maps the results’ accuracy, comprehensiveness and interpretability and the need for ground completion of the results obtained from the two methods.

In recent years, the demand for information obtained through remote sensing of the web has been greatly increased due to its high resolution for environmental analysis and topographic and local maps. Recent satellite techniques such as SPOT and TM, which are Landsat and based on electronic scanning, can produce images with resolutions of 10 to 30 m.
For the first time, scanned data on ground scale of each pixel equal to 5 meters can be expected from the mission of MOMS-2 and the newer SPOT and TM systems. Over the past decade, great progress has been made in the use of colored and black and white images taken by the Soviet Union's remote sensing department. The result of the research shows that the highest resolution was for a vast area used for updating maps of 1: 25,000 by KAF-1000 and MK4 cameras.
During the 17th ISPRS conference (Washington, 1992), it was announced for the first time that satellite images taken with the third generation of space-shooting cameras with a resolution of 1-2 meters will soon be used for local applications.

The present article proposes land transformation model which consists of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). This model applies varied political, social and environmental models as predictive variables. The study introduces a version of LTM model for Grand Traverse basin in Michigan gulf and shows how factors like roads, highways, and local streets, and rivers, coastlines in large lakes, entertainment facilities, inland lakes, agriculture density and landscape quality can affect urbanization pattern in coastal basin. GIS is used for understanding local patterns of development, estimating predicting capacity of the model from artificial neural network, spatial expansion of predicting stimulators, and spatial analysis. Finally, the contribution of each predicting variable is estimated and presented on a spatial scale. Landscape quality was the strongest predicting variable on the smallest scale. Multi-scale impacts of land use changes are analyzed using the relational impacts of the site (like landscape quality, local streets) and position (like highways and roads between different regions) on different scales.
