Introduction This survey is based on deciphering the space of globalization phenomenon and revealing affected by spatial actions mechanism under investment discipline (according to compressed space and time). The basic question is how the space could be used, organized and created so that it could be in line with investment flow progress necessities. This can be unrevealed by applying conceptual and theatrical shape of spatial Trialectic Lefebvre. Material – spatial actions are supposed as spatial representations and represented spaces of content formed components...

Geo-morphotourism is a new sub-discipline that relay on nature and try to maintain locality nature identity and introduce geologic phenomenon of a place to tourists. Geo-tourism has a wide audience nowadays all over the world. Geo-tourism is a kind of tourisms which try to maintain geographic, environmental, cultural characteristics of visited places or enhanced them; it may have economic development for visited places' citizens, too. It includes visiting places which have special landforms and geologic characters for spending leisure times and amazing feeling, improving their understandings of nature and educational & training purposes...

Iran country because of great spreading with a view to geographical longitude and latitude‚ existence the contortion of unevenness configuration and locating in exposed of air masses attacking has special circumstances in terms of temporal. The overall structure influenced by latitude‚ altitude and air masses. So that with changing each of these factors the temperature will change. In other words the general condition of temperature is a function of latitude and altitude and other factors such as aquatic area and land forms has a role in creating temperature structure that is referred as local factors...

Introduction Nowadays, rural tourism has an important contribution to the socio - economic development and play a significant role in providing independence and increasing of empowerment in rural women. Entrepreneurship development will be successful and sustainable when all sectors of society, participate in decision making and planning, particularly groups that have less influence. Women's participation is not only a step towards achieving the objectives of tourism development, but also makes them empowerment in society. The population in this study has potential in various aspects and good knowledge about their living environment...

Alluvial fans are considered as one of the arid and semi-arid geomorphic effects, which are the result of intense flow water performance in the past and present. Therefore, alluvial fans can be considered as legacies of quaternary climate. Dryv (1873) used alluvial fan terminology for the first time. The US geographical organization conducted a study focusing on alluvial fans in the second half of the nineteenth century. In the early 1960s, some quantitative studies focused on research examining the process and control development of alluvial fans...

Religious tourism with all of its components and varieties, due to its prominent structural and functional properties has found an outstanding place in the global tourism, so that its influence field, according to the World Travel and Tourism Organization, comprises 26% of the world tourism currents.

Gully is one of the forms of water erosion features in many regions of the world. Gully erosion could produce abundant sediment load, reducing the fertility of land and destruction of structures. In literature, for the preparation of landslide susceptibility mapping, several studies have been conducted using logistic regression. But, a few authors focused on gully erosion susceptibility. Susceptibility is defined as the probability of spatial occurrence of a phenomenon on the basis of the relationships between the distribution of the events in the past and a set of predisposing factors. Therefore, statistical methods for quantitative assessment of the place of happening phenomenon are appropriate in future...
