Indeed, protected areas, national parks and biosphere reserves in general, are the natural heritage of each country. Therefore, knowledge of their changes plays an essential role in management of these areas. Remote sensing is one of the most advanced and effective technology for monitoring environmental changes and resource management. The purpose of this research is to detect the land use /cover changes in Bojagh National Park in Guilan province during 2000-2017. For this purpose, the images of ETM+ sensor from the landsat 7 were taken in the year 2000 and the images of OLI sensor from the landsat 8 were taken in the year 2017. After applying the necessary preprocessing on the images, the training points were selected for each user class in sufficient number and with appropriate processing then, the land use / cover map was produced using the supervised classification method with maximum likelihood algorithm. Using the Overall accuracy test and Kappa coefficients, accuracy of the produced maps was determined. The results of the study indicated that the areas of the sea, grassland and the areas of the waterbody parts has decreased and the areas of the agricultural, marshland, man-made, woody and bare lands users show an increase during the study period.

National parks and wildlife shelter are the most important natural heritages; therefore, knowing of quantitative and qualitative changes in their land use plays an essential role in the quality of these areas' management. various algorithms have been developed to classify satellite imagery in remote sensing, selecting an appropriate classification algorithm is very important in achieving the accurate results. In this research, a more accurate algorithm was determined by comparing the classification accuracy of two artificial neural network and support vector machine algorithms, and it was used to examine the process of the land use changes. The present study was performed in Boujagh National Park, in the Guilan Province, during the years 2000 to 2017, using satellite imagery ETM and OLI of Landsat 7 and 8. The results of the research revealed that the support vector machine algorithm with overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of 86.42 and 0.83 respectively for the year 2000 and, 90.65 and 0.88 for the year 2017, classified the satellite images more precisely, in comparison with the artificial neural network algorithm with overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of 83.71 and 0.80 respectively for the year 2000 and overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of 89.25 and 0.87 for the year 2017. Therefore, the land use maps of the support vector machine algorithm were used to determine the land use changes. The study of land use change by this method concluded that the areas of the waterbody, sea, grassland and agriculture have decreased and marshland, woody and bare lands classes showed an increase during the study period.

With the rapid growth of urbanization in different countries of the world, in addition to increasing the number of cities and their population size, their area and extent have also been expanding rapidly. So that the rapid physical development of cities has even surpassed the population growth rate And the growth of unplanned and rampant phenomenon in Urbanism called "horizontal dispersion city 'or urban spiral created. This urban phenomenon was first created in rich and developed countries. But over the next few decades, seen today in most countries . Meanwhile, a look at the state of Iranian urbanization in the last half century Since the early 40's, the state of urbanization has evolved. Although this change was not at a standstill, its major development was increasing urbanization, urban population growth, increasing the number of cities, and expanding and expanding the physical spatial dynamics. In our country, urban landscapes have also had the capacity to use traditional ones, as urban growth patterns are organic and determinant of urban growth, endogenous and local factors. However, since the basis for the development of cities was an exogenous nature and oil revenues were injected into the urban economy, The intensification of investment in urban land has led to a disruption of the urban land market, and in particular the untapped use of a large part of the cities and the negative impact of the horizontal expansion of cities. Despite the rapid growth of population in recent decades, the city of Ardebil has been developing rapidly. The present paper aims to evaluate the changes in user behavior in the urban area of Ardabil. Manuscript profile

Despite the central role of food production, villagers are now one of the most vulnerable groups in terms of food security due to climate, economic and social changes. Changes in food patterns have led to poor nutrition and severe food insecurity in these settlements due to the poor power and access of villagers to the supply of basic food. This research attempts to answer the question of how dietary patterns among rural households in Jiroft city are affected and what factors affect it. The survey was conducted using a survey method and a questionnaire. The theoretical model of research with the approach of land management has identified three types of environmental, social and economic factors as the main factors explaining the patterns of popular food among villagers. Findings of the research show that rural households had a total of 14 main lunches and dinners per week; rice (average 4.99 times); artificial sugars such as sugar, sugar and sweetmeats (average 4.71 times) and dairy products (average 4.7 Times) and fish and shrimp (average 1.61 times). The consumption of rice among the villagers was significantly correlated with consumption of other foods including milk and herbs, vegetables and fruits, legumes, and chicken grass (with the acceptance of the positive effect of the symmetry of the data collection time on harvesting the consumption of rural households ) Access to water needed for agricultural and livestock production is the most important factor explaining the use of milk and its products among rural households (R = 0.47, F = 5.628, Sig = 0.028). In sum, the annual income associated with the sale price of agricultural products is the most important factor explaining how the consumption of food, especially consumption of meat, dietary foods, canned foods, etc. with (R = 0.51, F = 11.615, Sig = 0.002) and how much interest They consume food with (R = 0.52, F = 7.44, Sig = 0.013).

Any land use program will be carried out at the ground level and will result in changes in landfill, surface and even underground landforms. In this regard, it is necessary to pay attention to the importance of landfills and landforms in their role in land application models., considering that geomorphologic knowledge studies the forms and processes of the Earth, it is necessary to consider the characteristics and processes affecting landforms in order to environmental Capability assessment in the land use planning In this research, the methods of environmental Capability assessment in land use planning of used in Iran from the geomorphology viewpoint have been investigated and analyzed. Investigating the methods according to the criteria used in each method showed that in the Land System Approch, the criteria of climate, fault, groundwater and environmental hazards are not considered, and also in the Natural Resources Master Plan, attention to environmental hazards And only two protection and grassland of land use are defined.In a system analysis, given that experts have different specializations, they do not take into account all the components of a system The Urban, Rural, and Industrial Development Model of McHarg and Makhdoum have a general view of nature. Therefore, the new environmental Capability assessment model was proposed based on the integration of existing methods and according to the geomorphology viewpoint, in order to evaluate the environmental Capability assessment based on the base units of the landform, and the resulting results would be more consistent with the Earth's realities. This model includes assessing ecological capability and assessing the environmental hazards. In assessing ecological capability, sub-criteria for dominant winds, slope curvature, surface water and underground water were added. Also, in the land parcel standard, a different classification of landforms for urban development was presented, and environmental risk assessment included flood potential assessment, landslide and seismicity.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of seasonal changes on erosion and sediment yield in land-use types in Taleghani catchment, using the fingerprinting technique. In view of this, 39 soil samples including 17, 12, and 10 samples were collected from different sources: agriculture, rangeland, and forest, respectively. 7 samples also were collected from suspended sediments in two different seasons (3 samples in autumn and 4 samples in spring) from 2012 until 2013. After preparing the samples, 11 tracers including C, N, P, Na, K, Cu, Zn, Mg, Mn, Fe and Ca were measured as the primary tracers in sediment sources and sediment samples. Based on Kruskal-Wallis test and discriminant function analysis, four tracers including Mg, C, Zn and Ca were selected as the optimum set of tracers that can discriminate 3 sediment sources. Then sediment source samples were compared with suspended sediment samples. The results showed that the contribution of sediment sources is 67.9%, 32.1%, and 0 percent for agriculture, rangeland and forest, respectively in autumn season and the contribution of sediment sources is 44.3%, 44.3% and 11.4% for agriculture, rangeland, and forest, respectively in spring season. These results indicate the role of human activity on the erosion rate and land-use types as a very important factor in accelerating the erosion and sedimentation process in Iranian basins.

Urbanization and climate change are two global phenomena and are inherently correlated. Land use, as one of the most important factors in this field, affects climate change in various ways. One way to manage this issue is to use multilevel climate governance, which provides a flexible conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between cities, regions, and national governments related to mitigation and adaptation strategies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the laws related to land use according to the criteria of the governing by authority in the framework of multilevel climate governance in Qazvin urban region. In this study, the method of documentary research and the technique of systematic review of texts and in order to comply with the criteria of the governing by authority and legal materials in the laws and regulations, the comparative-analytical method has been used. In this way, 10 laws regarding the existence of legal articles were evaluated, in which local government officials have been given authority in the field of land use planning. The results of the study indicate that ther are different challenges such as the impact of policies and strategies of development documents on decisions, differences between decisions and upstream documents, differences in the type of reference review and licensing, legal gaps in related laws and inconsistencies in implementation in the field of land use planning in Qazvin urban region, and some decisions are based on less delegated authority at the local level, and the resulting actions are more vulnerable.
