This method makes it possible to detect secondary faults, which represent 30-cm-long vertical displacement that does not appear on the surface. These very small faults do not have signs and symptoms of topology, so it is likely that they will not be considered though they show the existence of faults in the range of installations and movements. This method involves mapping of points in geological features and accurate and comprehensive analysis of computer details and field operations of abnormalities at the heights of mapped points. General abnormalities are considered at high altitudes that are mainly consisting of normal and inverted fault. However, this method can be used for longitudinal slip faults as well. This method provides the conditions where geological data can easily be integrated into GIS and 3D analysis of details of small structure features can be achieved; field data can be analyzed in the profiles of three dimensional diagrams and in maps that are made using cartographic software. The ability of this method to identify faults with slight displacement allows the types of metamorphism, reduction in displacement of the direction of small and divergent faults, located at the two extremities of large and ordinary faults, single-slope bends and transverse structures between faults can be determined.

The changes that this religion has had over the course of history have been limited to the minor details of the laws which owing to the variety of the situations of human life in different societies. The general principles that constitute the main body of the divine religion have always been united throughout history, this intellectual and ideological unity is the most important basis of unity in the Islamic society. In order to establish unity and solidarity among a community or nation, sharing common ideology and worldview are among basic necessities, without such a sharing, one can never expect a true unity among people. Today, among more than one billion Muslims, there is no disagreement concerning God, the Book of God, and the Prophet of God, and the Qibla, which is the symbol of unity in the outside world, has never been disputed.

Today, with the scientific progress and the advent of remote sensing technology, the possibility of exploiting this technology in soil science has also been provided. In this study, for the analysis of soil texture and lime in the Pol Dokhtar area, the four-spectral data for September 7, 2007 prepared by IRS-P6 satellite with LISS III sensors were used. Geometric corrections and processes including UNC, SLED, NDVI, PCA, were performed on the main image. Finally, using randomized sampling method and based on PMU, FCC image of the region, 95 points were selected and samples were taken from two depths of 0-5 and 20-5 cm. Finally, using multiple regression, it was found that the lime and clay of samples at the first depth had a significant relationship with the near infrared band with modified R2 =0.73, and in the green band it was 0.72, and also at the second depth, with a red band of 0.54 and a green band of 0.48, of which all relationships were statistically significant at 1% statistical level. Consequently it was found that clay and lime have a significant effect on the spectral reflection from the soil surface in the region, and it is possible to study them in the region using satellite data and auxiliary data (incidental information).

The ultimate goal of this method is to assess the appropriateness of the area in question in order to determine the optimal location for landfill. In this context, the first step is the formation of a hierarchical structure of multiple criteria. Next, it is using the spatial analysis process to establish evaluation criteria, these based on the laws of Greece and the European Union, and also on the basis of practical and feasible international guidelines. The relative importance of the assessment criteria is determined based on the hierarchical structure and, using simple weighing model, suitable sites for landfill in the study area are determined. as a result, suitable locations are ranked from 0 to 10, which is from the lowest to the best, respectively. The last stage is the process of spatial clusters, which are designed to represent the most appropriate area. The initial ranking permits the selection of suitable places for burial from among existing places. The application and implementation of the proposed method on the Lemnos island in the north of the Aegean Sea showed that 9.3% of the studied area was suitable for burials above the 9th level.

Consequently, in every corner of this mythical city various gardens have been developed that are popular in the country and in the world. For many reasons, including the physical and spatial uniformity of cities with their heterogeneous and abnormal natural texture and the increasing mental pressures and environmental noise pollution, city residents have made decisions on leisure time spending.
