Fathizad, Hasan | Nohegar, Ahmad | Faramarzi, Marzban | Tazeh, Mahdi
Many human activities due to the lack of consideration in environmental restrictions on the landscape ecology are influential and have severe environmental effects on natural ecosystems. This study was conducted to investigate the trend of changes in landscape ecology in Dehloran, Ilam. For developing maps of Land cover, and analyzing the changes, we used, respectively, the satellite images of (1985) TM and (2007) ETM + were applied and landscape metrics of class area, density of patches, number of patches, mean of patches size, edge density and mean of shape index Various class-level landscape pattern metrics were calculated using FRAGTATS, in order to analyze landscape fragmentation. The analysis of landscape metrics revealed that the extensive replacement of fair rangelands by agricultural lands, rangelands, residential areas and barren lands. The results showed that increase in the number of patches and decrease in the mean of the area size was an important indicator of significant index of degradation, and the process of degradation and destruction of landscape ecology was in an increase mood. Therefore the results necessitated paying attention to the quality of land use and cover in the region for to exploit natural resources appropriately and sustainably.

Increasing young population and rising unemployment has led to employment and related indicators of serious problems and controversial country. In conjunction with the study and research on employment provinces, a variety of variables and factors involved and It seems that the lack of balance in the distribution of these variables, social inequality, economic, political and cultural between the provinces follow. Indices of employment in the provinces spatial distribution of employment index shows. The main purpose of this study is to clarification social inequalities of employment for equal distribution of possibilities in provinces. In this paper 55 softened are used. Variables dropped to 10 by means of advanced statistics methods such as factor analysis and presented in combination with meaningful factors. The importance of every factor is given too. Then the country provinces were divided into five equal classes by the cluster analysis model. The research results indicate this fact that there are serious imbalances in the country. So that in terms of employment Tehran province is in the first and south Khorasan province in the last place.

Hataminejad, Hossein | Rajaei, Seyed Abbas | Salarvandian, Fatemeh | Teimouri, Iraj
One of the basic and important fundament of sustainable development is Land use planning and use of appropriated with environmental characteristic and use correct of natural sources in the region and country. Ardabil province is one of the regions that its land use in some of its places is not appropriated with ecological potential, especially in the Lands which they are under cultivation. Therefore, this article have intend to analogy of land use now with ecological potential in the province. To prepare the map of land use, utilized the ETM and ASTER image sensor 2002 and so used from information layers in the linked organizations and ground survey. Analogy of ecological potential in the province is done in the GIS and according to method of Makhduom of course with slightly changes. We compared the ecological potential with land use of the province by overlying of different layers. The maps of region’s ecological potential were prepared with overlying of different layers by combine code in GIS. The Results show there is disagreement in the Dry farming areas with ecological potential. In other words, that is 37% fields of dry farming and 6.7% cultivate in the country of Ardabil not agreement with ecological potential.
