Abstract

In this paper, while introducing a brief overview of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, the most important zoning method (Terjung) has been discussed using parameters of temperature, relative humidity, sunny and windy hours in 8 synoptic and climatological stations during a statistical period of 40 years. Next, bioclimatic zoning maps were prepared on a seasonal scale.
In order to achieve these maps the Terjung method, statistical-graphical software, elevation gradient, and especially the buffering of AutoCAD map and ArcView were used. Data analysis during this period revealed the ecological groups of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. In winter, due to the dominance of external climatic factors, only one bioclimatic region (K2) is discernible throughout the province; in the spring, the combined effect of external and local factors create three bioclimatic types (W2, M3, C2) and in the summer season the effect of local factors create two bioclimatic types (W4, H5). By change in the effective factors in the autumn, the bioclimatic types (C2, C3, K2) are dominant in the Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari province during this season.
