background: to check the feasibility of using geographical information system (gis) methods, we linked the brucellosis data of human and animals. methods: in a village-based ecological study in bardsir- a district in kerman province located nearly to the central part of iran- data of human brucellosis, socio-economic level, and livestock characteristics (2001-4) were linked by using gis methods...

flood is considered as a major threat among natural disasters in the world. this case becomes more important and has a higher risk in urban areas due to the existence of important uses. therefore, to reduce damages resulted from flood, this phenomenon must be managed and planned using structural and non-structural approaches. considering the development in iran has been carried out in high risk...

this paper presents a mapping procedure for risk mapping of water and wind erosion, whichhelps to identify protective measures needed in the planning and management of natural parks. the map of water erosion risk was developed by combining the original and revised universal soil loss equation methodologies (usle-rusle), and the map of wind erosion risk was developed using quirantes’ method. usi...

Natural hazards are among destructive agents that annually take thousands of lives and impose devastating damages in Iran. Spotting such a high risk areas can help reducing the amount of their probable risk. A 1:500000 liquefaction and landslide hazard zonation map developed for the southern shoreline of the Caspian Sea. This geotechnical hazard map divides the study area to 15 hazard classes (...

flood risk zonation is necessary to control and predict the amplitude of flood damage.the purpose of this research is to evaluate the rate of flood risk vulnerability and the flood damage assessment in tabriz. specific variables of this study are land use , population density , river beds , slope classes residential density , cn coefficient , runoff coefficient , open spaces and old buildings.m...

the entire land in the southern iran faces problems arising out of various types of land degradation, of which the vegetation type forms one of the major ones. the payab basin (522,470 ha), which covers the lower reaches of mond river, was chosen for a test risk assessment of this type. the different kinds of data for indicators of vegetation degradation were taken from the records and publishe...
