Materials and methods: It was a descriptive study. All employees working in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development were included. Personal complaints of mental and irritative symptoms were assessed using a combined questionnaire (Questionnaires of CCOHS-2001 and London Center Hazards-1990). The prevalence of SBS of determined and the association between human, environmental and Building factors with the occurrence of this phenomenon was clarified. Results: Of 312 employees, 171 were randomly selected. There were 96 males (56.1%) and 75 females (43.9%). The prevalence of SBS was 58.7%. The most prevalent symptoms were fatigue (57.3%) during the past 3 months. The most prevalent irritative symptoms were burning sensation in the eyes and tearing (25.7%). The prevalence of SBS was 46.3% in males and 72% in females (p<0.001). Feeling of low air movement (68.4%), and feeling of airless environment (59.1%, always) were the most common complaints. There was no significant association between SBS and smoking, age, different stages, and duration of employment. Conclusion: The prevalence of SBS is quite high. Disorders of ventilation system are the probable cause.

There is a multifaceted approach of Water resource in a Watershed, which is accompanied by complexity and issues such as the interaction of natural and human systems. Achieving the consistent governance of Water resources is one of the most important management approaches in the Water sector, which requires a coherent structure of knowledge transfer and information on the organizations stakeholders’ network associated with Water resources. In this research has been studied in Taleghan Watershed to measure cooperation relations (transfer of Water resources management knowledge), between 28 organizational practitioners (Including development, protective, and mediation organizations). In this study data were collected based on the questionnaire analysis questionnaire. The results show that the knowledge structure of Water resources management in Taleghan Watershed is highly integrated among organizational stakeholders and the type of knowledge management is currently not based on negotiation. On this basis, it can be claimed that based on the bonding social capital index (relationships of each of the sub-groups) is modest and based on the E-I index, bridging relations (relations between different subgroups) have a weak rate. it can be concluded that the relationship between Water resource management and Water resources management in Taleghan district level is an essential step to establish a cooperative governance of Water resources.

In addition, social and political networks among stockholder states for preparing public opinion and impacting on decision maker and decision supporter should be constructed. If policy makers of Iran and Iraq apply Water and merchandise exchange diplomacy as a negotiation tool in dialog with Turkey, it will be a step to restoration of environment of region. In networking structure, we should use wide links, several statute and increasing satisfaction for network negotiations in conflict resolution of dust storm.
