Today, tourism is considered an important industry for furthering economy for revenue and also an important source for achieving sustainable development through use of all considerations in the area of sustainable development. Tourist development as a set of economic activities has a significant impact in strengthening economic foundations of socie...

Nowadays,The increasing gap between supply and demand, causing attention to basic water optimal allocation and it has been necessary to water demand management.In order to this reason WEAP model was used for planning and management of water supply and demand in the Zarajabad basin in Ardabil province.For planning and management of water allocation...

Evaluation and measurement of various aspects of sustainable development in different fields, especially in urban management, have come into focus after the Earth Summit held in 1992. Thus, various frameworks and indicators have been developed by many experts in order to control and evaluate such sustainable trends. After mentioning the significanc...

The global economy is overtaking the Earth, which is beyond the capacity to be supported, and every day this gap is even more. The world in the middle of the second decade of third millennium puts more pressure on Earth systems and every day this pressure on natural resources and environment is widening. Recently, the issue of environmental protect...

Over exploitation of groundwater and exist of land subsidence evidences in Ardabil plain, demonstrate necessity of land subsidence risk zoning in this plain. The purpose of this study was to preparation land subsidence probability map and determines the high-risk areas with using fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) model. Information layers i...

Energy production and consumption by human activities are the main factors of greenhouse gas emissions that cause pollution and harmful to environment. Furthermore, it is necessary to determine the effective factors resulting from energy systems on the environment, which is the main goal of this research. The research performed based on the combina...

River water quality can be affected by a range of factors, including both point and non-point sources of pollution. Of these factors, changes in land use and land cover are particularly significant, as they can alter the structure of the landscape and consequently impact water quality in rivers. To investigate the relationship between patch shapes,...

In recent years, owing to frequent natural and human-caused changes in land use and land cover (LULC), the need to use accurate methods in investigating LULC changes in the study area has gained double importance. In this article, the accuracy and performance of two methods of random forest (RF) and maximum likelihood (ML) were investigated in the...

Land subsidence is one of the world’s natural hazard phenomena that happen by natural and human activities. Assessing the probability of land subsidence is very important in managing and reducing vulnerabilities of this hazard. In this study, a pixel-based useful methodology is introduced to produce a land subsidence susceptibility map (LSSM) by th...

Scaling models is one of the challenges for water resource planning and management, with the aim of bringing the developed models into practice by applying them to predict water quality and quantity for catchments that lack sufficient data. For this study, we evaluated artificial neural network (ANN) training algorithms to predict the water quality...

The present study investigated the effects of changes in landscape configuration on river water quality, which is calculated by chemical export coefficients, using spatial data onto 31 catchments in the southwestern part of the Caspian Sea basin by applying stepwise multivariate regression models. The water quality modeling has been carried out app...

Habitats are one of the main and most important ecological needs for conservation of a species. Therefore, habitat preferences and selection a safe environment for species and effective environmental factors for these preferences can be a way to manage habitat and species.The pheasant species in Ardabil province is located only in part of the borde...

Planning and selection suitable industrial zones locations for safe and sustainable use of land are as the basis for land use planning and approach to sustainable development. Therefore, considering these location and geographical positions with environmental characterize that determine distribution and regional balance and maximum use of environme...

Site selecting for installing municipal solid waste incineration power plant with sustainable development perspectives is a multi-criteria decision. Identifying the factors that affect it will lead to more advantages including reducing costs and eliminating community dissatisfaction. In this research, in order to provide the most optimal model, the...

This study aimed to identify and select areas suitable for ecotourism. In this research, to assess the potential of ecotourism of Masal district, Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and GIS were used. For this purpose, appropriate evaluation criteria and sub-criteria were identified for determining recreational potential. Then, using AHP fuzz...

Due to the relatively low offspring survival rate, surviving adult leopards play a critical role in the species’ viability. The unnatural mortality of leopards, caused by human activities can seriously compromise the species’ long-term population survival. An analysis of spatial distribution and sex ratio of unnatural mortality of 147 recorded Pers...

This file shows the exact UTM localities of the Persian leopard accidental mortalities in Iran. (CSV)

Considering the importance of Balikhlou River as one of the most important water sources of Ardabil, Nir and Sarein cities, maintaining water quality of this river is the most important goals in provincial and national levels. This river includes a wide area that provides agricultural, industrial and drinking water for the residents. Thus, surveyin...

Background and Objective: In order to understand the condition of ecosystems it is essential to asses the threats and disturbances affecting the ecosystems and to develope suitable strategies for environmental management, monitoring and assessment. Especially, sustainable management of wetlands, in terms of their terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems...

Increasing human population growth leads to the increase in resource consumption and biodiversity degradation. The current threats to the biodiversity and widlife extinction emphasis on the protected areas role in the conservation plans. In this research we used systematic conservation planning map overlay method and analytical approach for zonatio...

Educational organizations due to entry new competitors in this field, they are drawing a long-term vision for them. In order to achieve an acceptable point in this field, should be internal and external factors including of the challenges and potentials of the accelerator and the opportunities, and also examines the opportunities and then attempt t...

Accruing pollutions and dramatic increase of population in several areas of world over the last decades have proposed a necessary attitude to maintain environmental quality for a healthy and clean environment. This attitude has led to a concept called sustainable development. Measuring sustainability in urban environments requires an indicator for...

The industrial state site selection for urban and industrial equipment’s establishment is tied to some limiting and strengthening factors. Increasingly, the relationships between environmental concerns and industrial, social and political affairs as well as rapid growth of the potential changes rise up regional and local system’s complexity. The co...

There is a global increasing in ecosystem management for selected species, biodiversity and ecosystem function. The declining health of marine ecosystems around the world is evidence that current piecemeal governance is inadequate to successfully support healthy coastal and ocean ecosystems and sustain human uses of the ocean. Nowadays, there is a...
