In recent decade in Iran, there have been published a vast number of books (compiled or translated) and scholar articles on different issues in various branches of geography. Most of these publications often focus on particular issues, but only rarely offer an expansive overview of the variety of terms and concepts in use within the field; Moreover, the conceptions used are mostly not meaningfully relevant and in some cases even misleading (it is especially true in falsities in translating these terms and conceptions into Persian). Moreover, the new trends and approaches in modern geography, especially spatial debates and planning theories are in some way the most neglected topics in these publications. In contrary, the most interested fields in these publications are often students’ thesis-based case study ones, compiled mostly by students themselves. So, some problems have been evolved from insufficient descriptions and lack of sufficient clear and perceptible definitions. The result has been not only a growing vagueness of some terms and definitions, fundamental to applied geographies, but the misleading of growing number of students of the field. The main aim of this article is to provide a relative detailed description and discussion of the terms and concepts which are central to the theoretical debate and empirical research in spatial planning within modern applied geography.

The indigenous pattern of rural housing is formed according to physical and ecological factors . it takes advantage of systemic approach in which all sub-systems have structural-functional links and evolve during the time. Nowadays, as understanding the ecology of rural housing in different parts of the country is important, the necessity of studying ,maintaining and sustaining the indigenous patterns are important, too. / the “Improvement of rural housing “ plan is considered as one of the most important physical plans that has broadly accepted by a large number of rural residents because of assigning low interest bank credits by the government. The plan has been successful in case of removal of deprivation and quake-resistant built-up, however, the plan has not achieved a lot of success in case of regarding the criteria of indigenous housing pattern. The present study has evaluated the “improvement of rural housing” plan in turkman sahra region based on the mentioned criteria. The applied method is an explanation-analitic one based on field study and field data collection.to do so,280 households were selected based on a random sampling. The sample also was divided into two groups: the group of people who have benefited the bank credits and another group without using bank credits. The findings of the study indicate that the plan has successes and shortcomings. successes include: the improving of rural culture in relation to plan and map of houses, regarding the security butter, and rebuilding energy-consuming pattern. shortcomings include: location of the house inside yard, houses, direction, alteration of economic functions, and the height of the buildings.

Physical textures of villages are considered as the location of many various and important activities of rural life. Some other rural functions are closely related to the physical texture of villages, too. For example, any changes of socio-cultural and economic characteristics of villages are reflected in their physical textures. Such changes indicate the impact and influence of different events including urbanism on rural settlements. Because, villages have different relations with urban centers, and dimensions and extent of these relationships have many influences on rural physical textures and would cause change of structure and function of rural housing. Such changes are more visible in outskirts of cities where the extent of changes are wider. Traditional rural houses are different from urban houses because of their various and different functions and functional spaces in which rural activities can be done easier. However, new rural houses that copy their urban counterpart patterns are mono-functional and have created some challenges in new rural activities. The present study applies a descriptive-analytical method and required data are collected through documentary and field studies. Findings show that urbanism has changed the structure and functions of traditional rural houses. Modern rural housing has also affected functions of houses due to the adaptation of urban housing pattern.

Transportation plays an important role in social development. The areas which have less access to transportation face large structural barriers in their process of social development. In this regard, the lack of access to transportation is major obstacle to achieve the sustainable rural development purposes. So access to transportation as an indicator of sustainable rural development can have different effects on indicators of social development in rural areas. This study examines the impact of the access to Sanandaj - Diwandareh road on improving social indicators of villages that located on the periphery of the road. Required data has been gathered by documents and field studies and questionnaire. In this regard first, social development index as the dependent variable was defined and designed in the form of 6 indicators. Then 64 items related to education, health, employment and income, social participation, social security and social services were defined to measure the indicators. The sample for investigation was 210 rural households and 14 local authorities of villages. The sample was selected and sorted randomly. For validity and reliability of the questionnaire we have used rural experts’ comments and Cronbach’s alpha test, respectively. Collected data were analyzed by independent and paired t-test. The results suggest an inverse relationship between the level of social development of the villages and their distances from the Sanandaj – Diwandarreh road. Also there is a significant difference between the status of social development indicators of villages that are located on the periphery of the axis and those which are located in 10 kilometers far from the road.

Current drought events and extreme extraction of underground water during the last few years have led to considerable reduction of underground water levels in many parts of Iran. The problem is more tangible in semi-arid areas where the lives of flora and fauna are closely related to the underground waters. Namdan plain located in Fars province is a fertile agriculture area which encounters the reduction of underground water levels due to high extraction and consumption of such waters. The rate of reduction is different according to different parts of the study area. Therefore, identification of areas with high reduction rates is a clear necessity in order to make any rational decisions for improving the underground water resources. The present study has applied GIS to zoning the area into three parts namely permitted, provisioned, and prohibited in terms of underground water extraction. The zoning classification was based on annual monitoring and interpolation of changes occurred in water levels of wells in the study area during 1997 to 2011. The results show that there is a direct relation between the location of deep wells and spatial distribution of prohibited and provisioned areas of underground water extraction. Spatially there were1131 (87%) deep wells out of 1311 in the mentioned zones which attracts the serious attentions of authorities to act more controls on the extraction of underground water in the study area.

The study of bioclimatic comfort can help the process of planning and development in different geographic regions. There is a direct relation between human health and comfort in physical environment with the climatic conditions of the regions. Nowadays, human bioclimatic studies are considered as the base for most urban, civil, settlement, architect, and tourism planning. The present study has evaluated climatic comfort of Illam city based on Terjung, Beaker, Neurotic Pressure, Olgay and Chellwind bioclimatic indices using synoptic whether statistics of Illam station during 1986-2008. Findings show that there is a wide range of warm to cold bioclimatic conditions throughout the year. Among the applied methods, Terjung method operated better than others to show the bioclimatic conditions. Assessing the human comfort of bioclimatic conditions of Illam during different months of year can be considered as a base for different development plans of the city.
