        Abstract In the history of Iran's proliferation, the government, as the most important political agents, have consistently played the most effective role in the transformation of spatial structures, including cities. These changes in the role of cities and the role played by the government set the stage for strengthening the city's economy, the development and expansion of cities and urbanization. The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze the most important effects of political divisions on urban Sprawl in Qom using structural analysis model. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting library and field information. Data gathering tool is a questionnaire and a checklist. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed using expert opinion. Structural analysis of futures research model is used to analyze the information. For this purpose, 29 factors were identified as the primary factors according to experts. Finally, the MIC MAC software was used to analyze and rank the indicators used in the structural analysis model and the GIS software to draw maps and layers of information. The results showed that improving the status of a city in the levels of country division, especially the transformation of the city into the provincial capital, can be achieved through four factors of population growth and migration, rising land prices and its stock exchange, the expansion of the state structure and the need for regional services, urban Sprawl overnight. Also based on the results of three factors, the concentration of capital in the city, the establishment of political representatives of the government and the development of industries in the city center were selected as the most important and effective political factors affecting the urban Sprawl in Qom.

        Usually there is a place in every city that we call dangerous neighborhoods, and in these areas, crimes are simply happening, and when we have to pass through these streets or neighborhoods, we just want to pass quickly and always the reasons for the emergence of such places. In cities, it's a question for everyone. Indeed, if people choose a place for life, the first thing that carries their minds is the existence of security, because security is an important indicator for raising the quality of social life, and one of the factors that it creates is its security. The purpose of this article is to investigate the environmental factors affecting the crime of theft. The study area is located in Qom, and areas 1 and 7 of this city have been investigated as a case. The research method is descriptive-analytic based on the scroll and is used by the questionnaire. The results of the research indicate that, from the viewpoint of residents in the Qom area, the indicator of the guardian of the neighborhood with an average of 4.21 could have the greatest impact on the reduction of theft crime and the population density has the least effect, on the other hand residents of the seven area increase the quality The door and windows with an average of 4.46 main factors in reducing the crime and providing the facilities and facilities for the better performance of the neighborhood by the municipality have the least impact. Also, there is a direct relationship between municipalities with a correlation coefficient of 0.48, such as physical protection of the neighborhood with a coefficient of 0.29 and a reduction in the crime of crime in areas 1 and 7, so the greater the physical protection and provision of facilities, facilities and urban infrastructure, the amount of theft in These areas will be reduced.

        Administrative divisions are a clear indication of the role played by states in managing the territorial space, which is being discussed in many disciplines, especially in geopolitics .By pursuing country-specific divisions and territorial targeting, governments pursue specific goals and, according to specific rules and regulations, apply their own management in territorial territory. In the process of changing the level of political-administrative units, there are several factors that make up one of the most important ones, such as population, size, culture and ethnicity, age, security, access, etc. However, in some cases, it can be seen that the existence of a series of political and geopolitical considerations or religious or religious characteristics imposes these criteria on the sidelines and alone plays a key role in promoting the level of division of the state. One of these cases in Iran is the conversion of Qom county to Qom province. This article explores why and how it is influenced by it. This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and its data and data have been collected through library resources, electronics and referring to relevant documents. The results of the research showed that political and religious factor played a major role in promoting the political level of Qom and forming Qom province, and had a greater impact than other factors.

        This paper represents the sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Oligo-Miocene shallow water carbonate succession of the Qom Formation, east of Kuh Siah outcrop (South of Garmmsar). The study is based on the lithosratigraphy, biostratigraphic framework (in the context of European standard biozonation), microfacies, paleoenvironmental interpretation and sequence srtatgraphic concepts. In this section, only f to c1 members of the Qom Formation can be differentiated. The biostrtigraphic results revealed that the benthic foraminiferal composition of the studied section has close affinities with coeval assemblages in Western Tethys and the Middle East. The larger foraminifera associations in the Qom Formation mark the SBZ 23 to 25 zones, referring to a time span from the late Chattian to Burdigalian. Based on the micropaleontological studies, the age of late Chattian (SBZ 23) is ascribed to c1 member which previously considered as Aquitanian, in East of Siah Kuh surface section. Sedimentary environment of the Qom Formation is related to a carbonate ramp platform. Based on sedimentary texture and percentage of skeletal and non skeletal allochems, 1 lithofacies and 13 microfacies from inner to outer ramp were determined. The sequence stratigraphic studies led to the determination of four 3rd order sequences. The first sequence with the Chattian age includes c1 and c2 members. The second sequence with the Aquitanian age includes c3, c4 and d members. The e and f members belong to third and fourth sequences with the age of Burdigalian. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study is determining systematics and identification of ostracods genera and species of the e Member of the Qom Formation at the studied section (Cheshmeh Boroun) for biostratigraphy and age determination, and palaeoecological investigations considering the abundance and diversity changes of ostracods based on the collected data. The abundance and diversity of the ostracods taxa such as Paracypris، Aurila ،Ruggieria ،Loxochoncha ، Krithe، Xestoleberis, Cytherella mostly suggest a marine environment with normal salinity and warm climate from ecological point of view. However, the increase and decrease of these taxa in the studied section indicate the diversity and abundance changes is related to environmental changes. In fact, this shows the instability of the environmental conditions which seems to be affected by the changes of food and oxygen values, and water turbulence. Based on ostracods assemblages, an Early Miocene age ( Aquitanian- Burdigalian) is exclusively suggested for the e Member of the Qom Formation at Cheshmeh Boroun stratigraphic section.

        The Qom Formation is the only hydrocarbon reservoir in the central Iran sedimentary basin. In most parts of the central Iran, the Qom Formation conformably overlies the Lower Red Formation with an erosional discontinuity and is in turn conformably overlain by the Upper Red Formation. In the Madabad celestite deposit (south of Zanjan), the Qom Formation is composed of 190 m of medium to thick-bedded and massive limestone, marly limestone and marl. Five main microfacies are identified in the limestone units of the Qom Formation in the Madabad area. These microfacies probably were deposited on a shelf carbonate platform. Petrographic studies suggest original calcite mineralogy for limestone units of the Qom Formation in the Madabad area. Geochemical studies (Ca, Mg, Na, Sr, Mn and Fe) also represent the original calcite mineralogy in a closed diagenetic system with low dissolution rates. These evidence show significant role of fractures rather than diagenetic processes such as dissolution for increasing the reservoir quality of the Qom Formation for the oil and gas fields (such as Serajeh and Alborz) of central Iran.

        Among the patterns of building a city, a , polycentric cities pattern of larger cities is true, as experience has shown that smaller cities, especially historic cities, often have a metropolitan core, usually located in the central geometric and historical boundaries of the city. This is due to the physical development of large cities towards the periphery, urban sub-centers, and the city’s multi-core spatial structure gradually emerges. The present paper aims to identify the evolution of the spatial structure of the metropolis of Qom from the viewpoint of the nuclei and urban centers, especially in the last three decades. The idea of this research was that the specific characteristics and functions of the city prevented the city from becoming a part of the city’s central depopulation, as compared to other similar cities. For analyzing data, quantitative methods including general G and LISA statistics, standard deviation and kernel density functions have been used in Arc Gis 10.3 software. The results of the research show that the metropolis of Qom despite its special religious features and its second rank in the religious cities of the country after the holy Mashhad, like many other major Iranian-Islamic cities, have been shown to accelerate urbanization and the physical and diffuse development of urban texture during the year. From 1986 to 2016. During this process, the central part of the city still retains many of its functions, and despite the relative burnout and physical barriers and constraints, it is now considered to be the most important urban core in the metropolis’s spatial structure. Consequently, the metropolis of Qom is rapidly increasing due to the rapid increase in population and extent (horizontal expansion), as well as the formation of some urban centers, nodes and sub-centers, although it is changing to several cities, but because of specific religious features and Its extensive functions in the central part of the city are still known as a Single-core city dominated by the city’s historical core.

        Assessment of knowledge management (KM) helps knowledge-based organizations to establish their KM process effectively. So, it is necessary to define some measures to evaluate KM process of these organizations. These indicators can measure efficiency and effectiveness of KM process in knowledge-based organizations. The purpose of this paper development of an assessment model for KM process in knowledge-based companies. In this study, a model was developed based on four enabler factors of knowledge management including “human resources, information technology, education and culture”, and four KM sub-processes including “creating, storing, sharing and applying knowledge”. The statistical sample consists of staff and faculty members of University of Qom in which the developed model is evaluated as a case study. A descriptive-survey research method was conducted in this study based on a questionnaire. The results indicate that University of Qom has not focused enough on KM process. Also, the results of the Fridman test show that none of the studied factors and processes is in a desirable condition in the university; it has been pay less attention to “Organizational culture” and “knowledge creating”, whereas “education” and “knowledge applying” have received more attention.

        One of the poets belonging to the Indian School of Persian poetry in the 17th and 18th centuries is Molla Mohammad Amin Darki-ye qomi. Biographers have reported on him as a poet with lots of verses including some 20 to 30 thousand couplets. A manuscript copy of his Divan is kept with Malek National Library, registered under No. 5146. The present study, as a descriptive-analytical research, was conducted following a correction of the poet's Divan and dealt with introducing and reviewing the said-above manuscript. The findings indicate that the manuscript in question included some 6300 couplets of Darki-ye qomi's Divan in such poetic forms as Qasideh(ode), Qet'eh(fragment), Ghazal(sonnet), Masnavi(couplet-poem), Tarji'band and Tarkibband(refrain). Darki has versified admirations of great figures and religious personalities into Qasidehs, chronograms into Qet'ehs, lyric themes into Ghazals, and Saghinameh into Tarji'bands. He was a creative poet in terms of imagination and theme generation with a moderate and fluent style. A typical characteristic of Darki-ye qomi's poems is the repetition of rhymes and a high probability of employing radifs. Manuscript profile

        Religious tourism is a type of tourism in which participants are motivated by religious reasons. The aim of the research is to investigate the role of religious tourism in the planning system of Qom city. This research has been developed in terms of practical purpose and in terms of descriptive-analytical method. The data obtained from the research was collected by documentary and field method based on the opinions of 35 experts and using a researcher-made questionnaire. The research findings showed; Religious tourism is not directly mentioned in any document or development plan until the fifth plan. The prioritization of the components showed that the shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (PBUH), the Jamkaran Mosque and religious places are known as the most important components in the development of the landuses of Qom city, and the planners and officials of the regional levels and the national and local level planners have the lowest rank among the components according to the experts. Also, the results of the research showed that the planning system's attention to religious tourism in Qom city and the whole country is moderate to low. Concluding, as a social and cultural reality, religious tourism plays an essential role in the sustainable development of Qom and the country's tourism, and executives, planners and activists can provide reasons for the development of religious tourism in its various dimensions by preparing and implementing development plans.

        Naraq section is located at the South of the Qom sedimentary basin in Central Iran. The study of microfacies sedimentary environments and sequence stratigraphic features of the Qom Formation in this area can help to understand the situation of the Qom sedimentary basin. In this study, 111 samples of the Qom Formation in Naraq section in the northwest of Naraq are investigated. Based on field observation and thin-section studies, 6 microfacies related to the lagoon, reef and slope parts of carbonate platform have been recognized.Due to the presence of slope microfacies and skeletal and non-skeletal grains that are transported from the shallow to this environment and the existence of SMF9, bioturbation, Also the presence of barrier / reef sediments, a carbonate shelf depositional environment is suggested for the Qom Formation in Naragh section. In this model, marls of b member of the Qom Formation show more relative depth. Also sequence stratigraphic studies show that the Naraq section is composed of three sedimentary sequences of third- order three types I and one type II sequence boundaries were recognized in this formation.

        Dilapidated urban structures, regardless of their different species, are the product of some negligence of urban management, which over time has become an area of ​​the city that lacks the necessary physical stability and strength, does not provide adequate access to their homes and lacks Severe service suffer. For this reason, due to the low quality of life in some parts of them, the housing of deprived and rural immigrants and some non-Iranians have become and finally have become unsafe places with many social anomalies at the lowest level of environmental quality. What has faced the problem of intervention, improvement and renovation of worn-out structures in our country is the lack of a clear strategy based on the identification of worn-out tissue species and the serious determination of urban management to renovate and improve them. In many areas, contextual improvement and micro-partnership with the people living in it, offers a very desirable and sustainable method that can be done over a short period of time. Qom city is one of the cities that is clearly facing the problem of erosion due to having about 1074 hectares of historical and dilapidated texture and the residential texture around Qom Grand Mosque, due to its special location and being located in the central and historical area of ​​Qom city and its erosion. He faces certain problems. The findings show that a survey of residents' satisfaction shows that 32% completely agree with the demolition and renovation of the building, 23% agree, 20% somewhat agree, and there are those who are interested in this area and intend to continue living in the area. 15% of the residents of the area agree with the repair and reconstruction of the area but oppose the demolition and renovation. 10% are also dissatisfied with any changes in the buildings and structures of the area.

        Rock units in the Madabad celestite deposit are composed of medium to thick-bedded and massive limestone interlayered with marly limestone and marl units of the Qom Formation (lower Miocene). Mineralization occurs as lens-shaped orebody, hosted by limestone units of member of the Qom Formation usually crosscutting bedding of the host rocks. Three stages of mineralization occurred in the Madabad deposit. The first stage is characterized by calcite formation during syn-depositional to syn-diagenesis processes. The second stage is related to hydrothermal processes that are distinguished by formation of fine-grained and sugary crystals of massive stage-1 celestite, vein-veinlets of coarse-grained stage-2 celestite along with minor strontianite and barite, coarse-grained euhedral crystals of stage-3 celestite with vug infilling texture, and finally late-stage quartz and calcite vein-veinlets. Stage three includes supergene processes. Hydrothermal alteration includes dolomitization, calcitization and silicification. Celestite along with minor strontianite and barite are ore minerals, and calcite, dolomite, quartz and iron oxides-hydroxides are gangue minerals at Madabad. The ore minerals show vein-veinlets, vug infilling, brecciated and cataclastic textures. Microthermometric measurements of two-phase liquid-rich fluid inclusions hosted in celestite II indicate that salinities values range from 6 to 18 wt.% NaCl equiv. (avg. 10.6 wt.% NaCl equiv.). These inclusions have homogenization temperatures range from 248 to 365 °C, with an average of 278 °C. These data indicate a minimum trapping depth of 510 m for the Madabad deposit. Sr was originated from evaporate units within the marly parts of the Qom Formation and volcanic units of the Karaj Formation. Characteristics of the Madabad deposit are similar to epigenetic replacement celestite deposits. Manuscript profile

        This descriptive-analytical study sought to investigate the socio-economic impacts of religious tourism on the spatial development of Qom province, using a researcher-developed questionnaire designed via Analytical Hierarchy Process to collect its required data. To this end, the required criteria were developed at two levels: the economic level comprising of five sub-criteria, including "Increase in employment, increase in incomes, reduction in inflation, increase in regional production", and: private sector participation", and the social level comprising three sub-criteria, including "Increasing the security, increasing the social culture, improving services and infrastructure". The results of surveying the priority of these criteria indicated the high impact of the economic element of tourism on the spatial development of Qom province. According to experts, the more economic power the people have, the better its impact would be on the social and environmental sectors of the society. Also, the criteria were also evaluated and prioritized within the study area that formed different districts of Qom province. Accordingly, it was found that the spatial development of the central district of the province (Qom city) was mostly influenced by religious tourism in terms of 5 criteria out of the 8 criteria identified in the study, suggesting that Qom, as the hub of religious tourism of the province, outweighs other parts of the province in terms of development, which may cause some problems in the future for the development of tourism in Qom province.

        The food system, as a part of the cultural heritage of the society, has several capacities to be considered in the field of tourism. The food system has opened the door for experienced and experienced tourists to delve into the depths of the local culture and understand the difference that is most important motivation to perceive and touch with their culture through taste. Food tourism in its specific geographical space and in connection with other sectors is one of the most popular and lucrative goals in the valley of developed countries in terms of tourism. Food tourism can lead to many economic benefits, and many see it as a tool for local development that can stimulate the economy, protect existing jobs, and create jobs. The purpose of this study is to study the local cuisine of Qom and its impact on attracting tourists and developing tourism in this region of the country. This study is descriptive in terms of user purpose and method. Also, information and data have been collected through documentary-library studies. The results of the present study show that the local food of Qom has a high capacity in attracting and retaining tourists, and those in charge of this issue, can host more tourists in Qom for a longer period of time, and this region has cultural benefits. And benefit economically. Manuscript profile

        The studied area is structurally located in the western part of the Central Iranian structural zone atthe southwestern termination of the Qom-Zefreh Fault. Our structural data represent the older generation of E-W to NW-SE trending thrust faults that juxtapose Permian- Triassic (Nayband and Shotori Formations) over younger rock units. Most of the thrust faults have been crossed cut with the younger generation of the strike-slip fault system. Major thrust faulting of the area occurred during post Late Cretaceous time. The final post Oligocene strike slip faulting related to the activation of the Qom- Zefreh fault overprinted and crossed cut older structural features. Our economic geological studies in the south Natanz area represent syngeneic strati bond or Sedex-Like type Pb-Zn epigenetic occurrence of these deposits in Permian-Triassic carbonates and barite developed in the Lower Cretaceous carbonate and clastics. The ore deposit development in Permian-Triassic Carbonates have occurred along thrust faults and then redistributed along strike slip faults with normal component. Therefore, genetically, stratiform deposits developed in the Lower Cretaceous carbonates and clastics (Yazdan and Pinavand Ore deposit) occurred in a regional early Cretaceous extensional regime. However, epigenetic deposits developed in Permian-Triassic carbonates (Changarzeh deposit) were generated during the regional post Late Cretaceous compressional regime and redistributed during post Oligocene strike slip deformation.

        In order to study the biostratigraphy and palaeoecology, the Qom Formation has been studied in the Ghamsar section of Kashan. The studied section, with a thickness of 314 m, consists of medium to thick-bedded to massive limestones and shale. The Qom Formation overlies the Eocene volcanic rocks in the Ghamsar section and is covered by the Recent alluvial sediments. A total of 21 genera and 9 species of benthic foraminifera were identified in this section and the results indicated the age of Rupelian-Chattian. According to the above palaeoecological conditions, in the lower parts of this section (Rupelian), light conditions are euphotic and nutrient conditions are first eutrophic and then Meso-oligotrophic with mainly normal sea salinity. During Chattian, the trophic state was mainly meso-oligotrophic with normal salinity, and salinity varied between 40 and 50 PSU. Light conditions also were between aphotic and mainly meso-oligophotic. Large benthic foraminifera with hyaline walls, such as Amphistegina, Lepidocyclinide and Nummulitide, in shallow environments with high energy, have thicker shells and smaller shell size, and in deep environments, due to reduced light intensity and low water circulation, they have thinner and more elongated shells. The results of the morphometry of 186 samples of Amphistegina show that the seawater depth in Ghamsar section (Rupelian-Chattian) fluctuated from less than 11 meters to less than 44 meters.
