Abstract[1]
As the most devastating natural disaster,the earthquake is considered to be the cause of human casualties and significant economic losses in the country, which is far more severe in urban worn out textures, because the worn texture has a distinct and unique structure. The area of the worn out texture of Ilam city is 374 hectares, which covers 19% of the total area, including the old parts and the central texture of the city. The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical and field research. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the management of earthquake crisis in Ilam's worn-out texture in which, indices such as type of materials, age of buildings, number of floors, type of uses, occupation level, quality of buildings, population density, width of passageways, and area have been studied. The results show that the building materials account for the highest weight and the other factors are a function of the condition of the materials used in the structure. The output vulnerability map showed that out of the total area except the passageways, 8.9% had very high vulnerability, 59% had high vulnerability, 23% had moderate vulnerability, 3.6% had low vulnerability, 5.5% had very low vulnerability and overall, 67.9% of the worn-out texture area is vulnerable based on existing indicators.The research proposals have been presented in three areas: high vulnerability, moderate vulnerability and low vulnerability.

Today quality of human life is unstable, therefore it is necessary to assess the quality of human environment and identify the causes of instability. This requires identifying the variables affecting the environment, achieving a method for having and assessing criteria for supervision and control of the responses that society takes to repair instabilities. Environmental, economic, social and cultural indicators have emerged as a key tool for definition and follow-up of operations and strategies that lead to a sustainable development and analysis of the benefits and costs of development. According to these indicators such as literacy, income, poverty eradication, health, enjoyment of healthy water and air, leisure, women's participation in social, economic, cultural and environmental activities, etc., it is possible to assess the stability and instability of society, and in order to achieve sustainability, all indicators of sustainability should be considered simultaneously. In the course of development, it is undesirable that some people grow economically and the rest remain in poverty. In addition, it is necessary that the development be in a manner that it realize social and political solidarity, coordination in practice, participation of all sectors and individuals (including women) and increase of technological productivity while avoiding ecosystem degradation.

The lands on the right side of the Nekooabad Diversion Dam are located at a place near the upstream part of the Zayandeh Rud river’ basin, and due to this position it is at first thought that in principle it should not face any shortage of water, and water distribution management seems to be a simple matter. However, with any change in the amount of available water, including occurrence of drought, the effectiveness of implemented management and planning is challenged.The most important water resources used in the area concerned are surface waters (water of the Zayandeh Rud river through canal) and underground waters (surface, half-deep and deep wells).

In the last four decades, almost all of the Qanats of Borkhar in northern Isfahan have dried up. Agriculture-oriented surface water wells are converted into semi-deep and deep wells. Currently, due to the water deficit of these wells, the agricultural water supply of this plain is confronting a crisis. The type of agricultural water resource management in Borkhar has affected its development. Lack of water resources and absence of proper management of these resources have, along with other factors, changed the use of agricultural lands. This paper has utilized national and international scientific documents and reports, field study, interviews and results of questionnaires. The results of research and data analysis show that due to water deficit and lack of proper management of water resources in the production, transportation, distribution and consumption processes, agriculture in Borkhar has become unstable and is heading for destruction. Close cooperation is needed between the local people and the Water Organization regarding problems of water resource management. Land use changes in the future must also be carried out by study and research and a specific plan, and combination of traditional and modern techniques must be utilized in Borkhar.

Firoozabad is one of the cities of Fars province in southern Iran where environmental management has received less attention.In this paper, using the method of studying land systems, the factors affecting the current appearance of these systems are identified and the role of humans in degradation of the environment, intensification of erosion and change in the appearance of Firouzabad environment have been determined. At the end, suggestions have been made to improve the environmental management methods in the studied area.

About two hundred million years ago, Africa and Arabia were a single continental block. However, at the beginning of the Mesozoic, they started to separate. This process reached its peak during the Tertiary, and still continues. The resulting depression between Africa and Arabia, which was continuously widening, was filled with water, thus forming the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
The break of the Earth's Crust and separation of the two continental blocks of Asia and Africa from each other in this region and appearance of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden have brought about one of the most distinctive geological structures, namely that of great graben of Africa and Asia. A branch of this graben advances into east of Africa; it starts from Ethiopia and continues in the Africa’s break toward south through Kenya and Tanzania as far as Zimbabwe. In the north of the Red Sea, the appearance of the Suez and Aqaba Gulfs and the continuation of the Aqaba gap in the Jordan Valley to the Dead Sea are also part of the tectonic process of the whole region of Southwest Asia and the East and North East of the African continent.
The above-mentioned processes, which are very typical examples of the Wegener Continental motion theory, are displayed much better in satellite imagery than topographic maps. In this paper, using satellite imagery and with the help of scientific texts and different maps and atlases, the region’s map, especially where the images had no no cloud cover, has been prepared and due interpretation has been made.
