Abstract
The relationship between employment and immigration in special levels of Systan & Balochestan including rural and urban regions is studied in the present paper with the purpose of analysis, modeling and prediction of employment role in immigration. Research method is analytical-descriptive with quantitative approach in which models of labor market, correlation and regression are used. Two variables(employment deficit and out-immigration) obtained from labor market model were introduced as independent and dependent variables in modeling process respectively and then their relationship was predicted. This research considers immigration as an outcome of geographical differences between supply and demand of labor force and indicates the worse labor market of rural regions than urban regions during five decades (1956-2006). There is a direct and strong relationship between employment deficit and out-immigration in rural and urban regions (correlation coefficient: 0.9). 90% of immigrations occurred in rural and urban regions during the five decades are characterized by employment deficit. It is predicted that when employment deficit in urban regions is eliminated completely and there isn’t employment surplus, these regions will accept immigrants (about 23000 people) and if this happens in rural regions, out-immigration will be diminished greatly about 500 people. Findings indicate that employment deficit is population pulled to the region and employment deficit is population driven from the region. So providing employment opportunities in the region through investment in providing new employment opportunities can be recognized as the most effective solution to prevent evacuation of rural and urban regions of the province.

Abstract
Correct estimation of suspended sediment and its impact on the design and management of water projects, have always vital roles in advancement of studies concerning the river engineering, especially with consideration of the technical and economic difficulties associated with the installation and operation of stations for measuring sedimentation. Therefore, presenting an appropriate strategy for accurate prediction of sediment load of rivers would be significantly valuable. The deficiency in having a full set of precise measurements for the influential parameters in the sedimentation process and also the complete non-linear nature of models for the corresponding methods result in the rather inaccurate estimation, and therefore without the possibility of evaluating the changes in the sedimentation carried by the flow as a function of time, it would be impossible to come up with a comprehensive model. The purpose of present study is the evaluation of capability of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Genetic Programing (GP) in predicting the sediment load in the Ahar-Chai. In order to estimate the sediment load, flow rate data, precipitation data, temperature data, and earlier sedimentation data have been used in these models. These models were applied to the Ahar-Chai River located in the East-Azarbayjan Province and the results were investigated and were compared to the collected data. In order to assess the efficiency of each of aforementioned models, the calculated data using each model were compared to the observed data using parameters namely, Coefficient of determination (R2), Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (E) and root mean square error (RMSE). Finally, the Genetic Programing was identified as the best model in estimating the sedimentation in Ahar-Chai river was identified and recommended.

Abstract
Estimation of plant water requirement is one of the most important needs of the agricultural activity which can play an important role in the proper use of water resources. The first step for calculating of plant water requirement is the estimation of reference Evapotranspiration. According to this fact that the estimation of potential evapotranspiration needs lots of meteorological parameters, the aim of this research is to obtain a simple equation for estimating of evapotranspiration, using principal component analysis in Ardabil and Tabriz. For this aim parameters including temperature (maximum, mean and minimum), relative humidity, sunshine hours, precipitation and the wind speed in daily scale for a period of 1962-2016 for Tabriz and 1992-2015 for Ardebil is used.
The results of principal component analysis reduce these parameters to two and three components (PC) for Tabriz and Ardebil respectively. These PC explain the 78% of parameter’s variance in Tabriz and 83% in Ardebil, respectively. By using of these components, new equations are obtained for calculate the potential evapotranspiration. The results of evapotranspiration modeling show that the coefficient of determination between daily reference evapotranspiration and principal components (PC) for calibration and verification periods are 0.53 and 0.69 for Tabriz and 071 and 0.73 for Ardebil, respectively. Also, the Nash coefficients for Tabriz are 0.61 and 0.61 and for Ardebil are 071 and 0.73 which showing the appropriate performance of models. The results also show that the evapotranspiration in Tabriz is highly affected by temperature parameter, relative humidity and sunshine hours and in Ardebil is only affected by temperature.

Abstract
Earthquakes can cause significant disruption and devastation in communities. Especially, Iran is one of the countries with the most natural hazards, while earthquake causes most of casualties in this country for several reasons including the inappropriate construction methods, the improper physical growth and the lack of minimum necessary requirement. Mashhad is a city located in the northeast of Iran, the center and capital of Razavi Khorasan Province and the second largest populated city after Tehran. This city because of the high-density housing and the absence of urban development plans in worn-out context is facing a more serious risk. In this study a new hybrid method has been proposed for emergency location problem. First, a system dynamics model for the urban has been used to estimate the number of damaged buildings by focusing on construction and population subsystems. Second, the number of earthquake casualty has been estimated by the casualty estimation model of Coburn and Spence, while the output of system dynamics model is the most important inputs of this model. This method is implemented for different possible earthquake scenarios in Mashhad. Each scenario has been defined based on the length of active fault, the acceleration of activity and the greatness of the quake. Third, the Geographical Information System (GIS) has been used to specify the potential emergency location centers to cover the population. Finally, the location allocation model has been presented to locate the emergency location centers cover the survivors. The results of this hybrid model showed that we need at most 231 emergengency locations in the worst case and the minimum needed locations is 93.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was modeling villagers’ intention to adopt e-marketing and rural provincial clustering. The data was collected from 988 villages with ICT offices from 31 provinces of Iran. The results showed that the rate of agricultural income in villages with ICT offices was desirable but income of handicrafts and tourism was lower than the average. Also, rural access to city and ICT users were acceptable. In designing the research model, the “theory of planned behavior” (TPB) was developed. In this regard, a new factor called rural economic geography was added having five new variables such as rural access, rural tourism, agriculture, rural handicrafts, and population. Thus, the “Geographic Model of Planned Behavior” (GeoTPB) was presented. In the new model, the impact of geographic factor on behavioral factor was examined using structural equation modeling approach. In general, the rural economic geography had a direct impact (64%) on behavioral factors and in the next step, the behavioral factor (as full mediation) affected the intention. The Geographic Model of Planned Behavior predicted villagers' intention to e-marketing adoption up to 75%. In addition, the K-means clustering indicated that Iran rural regions can be placed in six clusters due to economical and behavioral factors. In most clusters, rural economic geography was effective on behavioral factor. The interesting finding was that Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan, and Khuzestan provinces in cluster 1 were the leading regions in e-marketing adoptions. These regions were recorded as less-developed villages in the reports of the statistics center indicating that the development of technology was significantly effective on the digital literacy of the inhabitants of these regions. The findings emphasized the significance of considering behavioral factors in geographic studies to provide realistic solutions for rural development.

Abstract
Nowadays, following the technological advances and increased accuracy of remote sensing and satellite imagery capabilities, it seems that the combination of these capabilities with the available information of changes or destruction of the resources in the past and present, and base on the modeling will be able to predict the land cover changes in the natural and anthropogenic areas such as protected area. One of the most important ways to obtain this object is the spatial modeling of land cover changes using various strategies. Therefore, the present study was to evaluate the ability of Ca-Markov model to estimate the land cover changes in protected area located in the Bijar state from 1987 to 2013 period and also modeling of this changes and predict of them for 2026. For this purpose, Landsat images of 1987, 2000, and 2013 were used to extraction of land cover maps. Validation of the model was taken by comparing the predicted map of 2013 using model and land cover map for the same year. The rangelands and agriculture lands use in 2013 were about 21180.65 and 10273.53 hectares which prediction result of the model showed 21935.97 and 9631.62 hectares, respectively. This result indicates the high accuracy of the Ca-Markov model to predict the land cover changes in 2013. The results showed that from 1987 to 2000, about 12 percent, and from 2000 to 2013, about 10 percent of the rangelands converted to agriculture lands. The prediction result of Ca-Markov model shows that if the current trend continues, between 2013 and 2026, about 13 percent of the rangelands will converted to agriculture land.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the appropriateness of the development of Tabriz metropolis based on the principles of urban viability. The present study is in the category of applied research that has been done with case-analysis method and quantitative approach. Due to the nature of the data and the impossibility of controlling the behavior of the effective variables in the problem is also non-experimental. Initially, using the existing standards, the desired and ideal values of each of the operational indicators were compiled and the values of each indicator in each of the 10 regions were extracted. To collect data, documentary-library methods including detailed sources of population and housing census and statistics of Tabriz metropolis (2016-2017), comprehensive plan (2016) and detailed (2012) of Tabriz, as well as distribution of questionnaires and field observations were used. Is. Data were analyzed using one-sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression and Scheffe post hoc test in SPSS software. In order to model the structural equations of livability using structural equations in Amos software, the most important influential variables of development (economic, social, physical, institutional and environmental) in evaluating the viability of Tabriz metropolis were studied. The results of the study indicate a poor evaluation of these items so that a small number are in a stable state and in other cases, including physical, economic and environmental indicators are in an unstable state. The results of this study also show that the development of Tabriz metropolis in recent decades is not commensurate with the principles of livability and the share of regions is not the same in terms of viability and sustainability indicators.

Introduction
Because of globalization and cultural globalization, local and national identities getting deformed. Have been lost their originality and social interaction, places transform to the planeness Relph stated that this placeness have qualities like biformal, sense of none formality, deforestation of places.
Since tourist are tend to visit urban spaces that are unique and have different qualities, so, the repetitions of other communities urbanism patterns in urban areas would have negative effects on attraction of urban spaces. So, there seem to have need to put local pattern and values in cornerstone of urban policy. Thus, urban spaces are required to be context friendly to be more competitive and attractive.
Besides, since there is a critical demand for shopping malls and restoring classic Bazzars, cultural transformation of time passing, dominance of classicity and new needs of communities including tourists, it is logical to offer contextualism pattern in such spaces. Unless there would be such a new pattern, it can be deteriorated function and branding of the spaces. Getting the pattern, it is required to empirically test its impacts on brand equity of Lalehpark shopping center. As if it would have positive on brand equity it would be recommended to apply this pattern for designing such shopping spaces.
Materials and Methods
Aiming to sort out particular problem of the society, the research is considered as applied one. The method is considered as mixed method which firstly thematic method (as a qualitative method) were included in the research. For doing thematic analysis for getting contextualism pattern for modern shopping centers, interviews were done and in 9th interview theoretical saturation were recognized in the research process. In this phase, thematic analysis started to work and after initial coding, it is required to mix the codes. The mixed codes forms main and sub themes. By making sub theme, the codes have hemoginity categorize in same main theme, and then by using the components extracted of it for contextualism its impact on brand equity were examined by structural equation modeling . the appropriate software were determined for executing such a modeling was Smart-Pls. doing explanatory factor analysis, data were inserted to Smart-PlS to have firstly some tests on validity, reliability, T-valueand based on them three items were removed to have valid results.
Discussion
The results shows that there is a positive impact of contextualism on brand equity by .767 route coeffienct, as well there is such a positive impact between contextualism contextualism i.e. symbolic contextulaism, convergence contextualism and geographic contextualism and brand equity variable. The results imply that in order to have a great brand equity in such shopping centers it is better to practical execute of the pattern in such shopping centers. As well, the results indicate that to have attractiveness in such shopping centers it should include some historical and cultural values in designing.
Although the research made some different pattern for shopping centers that have not ever offered but there is a similarity with background researches such as Merriles and etal and Eladly.
In spite of having some good features such as its attractiveness, publicity, offering well-known brands, there would be some recommendation for its improvement:
1-making bus line and sub way system terminated to Lalehpark.
2- Have more cultural events in the shopping center.
3- Completing shopping center projects surrounded to Lalehpark and harmonize them with Lalehpark as distinctive building based in the area.
4-offering spaces for youth such as sitting areas or reading areas.
5- Prioritizing low income individuals demands and offering affordable products.
6- Making separation of food court and path to have more calm and safe place for serving food.

Introduction
Over time, land cover patterns and consequently land use change fundamentally. In order to make the best use of natural resource capabilities, it is essential to obtain accurate information about land use potentials. Kojoor region was registered as one of the most valuable regions of the country in terms of gene and species diversity in the list of the network of protected areas in the world by the approval of the High Council of Environment in 1967.Therefore, in order to protect this area, not only proper knowledge of human factors, but also the role of natural factors such as vegetation is very important.
Data and methodology
In the present study, Landsat satellite images were used in 7 time periods. EVI, DVI and NDVI indices were used to study and analyze vegetation changes in the study area.
In the present study, based on the modeling objectives, the study of changes in forest cover in the study area has been performed using Landsat satellite images (4, 5 and 8) for the years 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2010, 2015 and 2017.
The false color images of the OLI sensor used were referred to the panchromatic band with 20 ground control points and observing the appropriate RMSe (0.28) of the ground. Then the images of MSS and TM sensors were referenced by image-to-image method with RMSe less than 0.5 ground. In this regard, the transfer potential modeling was performed with a learning procedure algorithm based on Multilayer Perceptron and prediction of changes for the best model was performed using Markov chain. Then it was used to evaluate the accuracy of modeling with Hit, Misses and False alarm statistics.
Discussion and conclusion
The results of the study of vegetation indices showed an improvement in the condition of cover in the study period. The results of the study of vegetation indices showed an improvement in the condition of cover in the study period. The study of land use also showed that with the current trend, the area of uncovered land will be reduced and the area of rangeland and forest cover will be increased. Therefore, the improvement of the coating conditions can be attributed to the application of protective operations.
