Introduction: due to importance of poverty reduction in reducing social problems, sustainable development of a country and increase of social welfare level or to detect qualified persons using welfare programs, to study the poverty phenomenon has to be studied This can help policy makers in poverty elimination.Method: we used the statistical data on household budgets for measuring poverty indices (Foster-Greer-Thorbecke).this study conducted for both urban and rural areas of KERMAN province and their comparison with corresponding Indices in National level. Findings: in general, the trend of poverty measures in both urban and rural areas has been declining. Using independent T test we found that incidence and intensity of poverty in rural areas has been higher than the corresponding figures for the urban areas. all of three measures in urban areas of province was higher than the same measures in urban areas of Iran. Hypothesis of increasing poverty measures in rural areas of province than rural areas of Iran were confirmed only about two variables (e.g. P0, P1).Conclusion: although the general trend of poverty in both urban and rural areas of KERMAN province has been declining, but in some years this trend has high fluctuation that show poverty reduction policies has not been applied in strategic and sustainable program and has not been with strict identification of the poor. Increased severity of poverty in rural areas of KERMAN needs more attention by policy makers to identify the poor and allocate helps to them, in the end of study regarding to socio-economic properties of KERMAN province, we propose recommendations for poverty reduction in province.

Noise is defined as unwanted or objectionable sound. Human susceptibility to noise varies in terms of intensity, altitude, timbre of sound, personal sensibility, age, and history of ear disorder. Noise pollution which is the result of heterogeneous and uncontrolled developments of cities is one the serious problems in large cities of Iran. Although noise pollution in KERMAN (located in southeast of Iran) is not as serious as that of large cities in Iran, it can be considered as one of the elements which have changed KERMANs life pattern. In this study, conducted in 1999, in order to assess noise pollution level in KERMAN, 13 stations were selected and the levels of Lmax, LAV, L99, L90, L50, L10 were measured daily for 156 days. Results, in all stations, indicated that sound level in KERMAN exceeds national standard level and WHO guidelines. Therefore, it is essential to take some actions in order to control KERMAN noise pollution with some undesirable impacts.

According to geomorphic systems affecting the settlement of areas, including in the planning and urban management. Due to the geographical location and structural the KERMAN and performance of various systems of agents, such systems are alluvial, Aeolian and morphotectonic Implementation and management of all development plans need to be obsessively this space very carefully done. The incidence of serious risks such as ground subsidence, loss of water resources, tectonic activity and Aeolian processes in the atmosphere is solid evidence of this claim. KERMAN is located at a point that many factors can affect its normal study of factors influencing the reduction of environmental hazards can be effective. The purpose of this study demonstrates the effect of natural factors and the impact of KERMAN urban development on the intensity of negative factors affecting external. This research is trying to use GIS techniques to evaluate geomorphic systems the KERMAN range of factors influencing the mapping of processes to check. The results show that morphotectonic systems, including Fluvial and Aeolian systems are effective the KERMAN. The maps show that the levels of native lands, and large parts of the KERMAN planar surfaces with low slope and covered with alluvial deposits and clay zones form. This can have a considerable impact on the intensity of risks.

Determination of Optimum contentsop godarsorkh, sirjan, and godarsefid pozzolans to be replaced by 3 types of cement was carried out by two pozzolanic activity methods. Concrete mixtures with different amounts of pozzolans were made and their compressive strengths were measured. Mixtures showing higher strengths were selected as optimum mixtures for further investigation on their mechanical properties. Durability of concrete mixtures with and without pozzolans was assessed and compared with some other pozzolans. Test results show that concrete mixtures containing pozzolans have better performance than, normal concrete mixtures. Concrete mixtures containing sirjan pozzolan showed the highest, compressive strengths followed by godarsefid and godarsorkh pozzolans.

The main purpose of this research was collection and identification of medicinal plants in KERMAN province. According to condition of soil, topography, temperature, climate and percipitation of this province. We gathered medicinal plants. 285 species were collected which classified in 200 genera and 71 family. Scientific name, Persian and local name, altitude, habitate conditions and distribution were mentioned in this paper. 72% species were herbaceous and 11.3% were shrubs. More species were distributed in the 1500 2500 meter from sea level.

Population growth, occupation and establishment of economic activities, social service and facilities in different areas of city and suburb cause an increase in demands for relocation to these areas and as a result create some problems in public transportation. Since physical infrastructure develop in recent decades, application of physical infrastructure in metropolis traffic management becomes so important. The KERMAN metropolis is encountering with traffic issue, so the main objective of this research is to consider the quality of KERMAN’s traffic with emphasis on the role of physical infrastructure in decreasing traffic volume and provision of citizen safety. The research hypothesis is stated in this way: it seems that physical infrastructure in KERMAN city is not consistent with traffic needs, these research is a descriptive analytical and uses Quantitative and qualitative method’s such as interview with experts, observation and field detection are also used in this research. According to the Morgan table, the sample size of 384 is selected. The search analysis unit is KERMAN citizens. The 1 and 5 zone of KERMAN is the analysis level of the research. The results indicate that there are many weaknesses in relation to the physical infrastructure of KERMAN city. The result of t-test that Sig value equals to 0.078, this value is higher than 0.5, so the citizens believes that physical infrastructure of KERMAN can't be helpful in reducing the traffic density. The results of the research indicate that the assumption is o.95 acceptable.

Background and Purpose: Qara-Khitai is a seldom known government reigning over KERMAN from 1223 to 1305 A. D. An exact examination of the history of the government indicates that simultaneous with reign of some of Qara-Khitai kings, political, social, and economic status of KERMAN improved. Moreover, due to the skill and wisdom of the kings and doctors in their court, medical condition of KERMAN as well as people’ s health enhanced. Accordingly, using reasoning and historical logic methods, the present study aims to first introduce KERMAN Qara-Khitai government and then to examine diseases in that era and discuss how they were treating. Methods and Materials: The research was carried out using a library method and used various historical, medical and research sources in the form of books and articles. Results: The present study showed that physicians in Qara-Khitai court made use of herbal medicines and minerals existing in KERMAN and adopted astounding methods of treating patients almost eight hundred years ago. Conclusion: It seems that the major diseases of the sultans were liver diseases.

Ekhtiarabad sinkhole which is located 14 km NW of KERMAN, near a homonymus Village, appeared suddenly in July the first, 1998. Mechamism of formation of the cave system which created the hole is of great importance for detecting suspected subterranean caves in the region .In this regard, several ideas have been put forward, namely, dissolution of evaporites, dissolution of limestone, and mechanical wash-out of fine sands (piping). To resolve this problem, geologic and hydrogeologic conditions of the region were analysed, and a hydrogeochemical approach, based upon evaporite dissolution index, was proved to be efficient .The index is over 40 in the vicinity of the hole, but decreases abruptly away from it to less than 5, indicating dissolution of evaporites , which seem to be gypsum. Some other clues ,such as electrical conductivity of groundwaters, evaporitic facies of Neogen sediments, and a nearby gypsum mine all increase this possibility .Several mechanisms; as decline in groundwater level, trrafics , and enhanced disssolution induced by pumping groundwaters are suspected as collapsed triggers.

Introduction: Considering wide distribution of scorpions in various parts of the country and their importance in biological and medical Sciences, the current study was performed during 2005 to 2006 in order to determine scorpions species in KERMAN/Iran.Method: In this descriptive research, 13 cities in KERMAN province were investigated. All collected scorpion specimens in %75 ethyl alcohol were sent to the entomology laboratory of KERMAN university of Medical Sciences for identification of their species by the use of stereo microscope and morphologic identification key.Results: A total of 8 species belonged to three families of Buthidae, Hemiscorpiidae or Liochelidae and Scorpionidae were identified. The identified species were as follows:A: Family Buthidae: Mesobuthus eupeus(44%), Androctonus crassicauda (28.5%),  Odontobuthus doriae(22.6%), Orthochirus scrobiculosus(3%), Androctonus.amorcuxi(0.35%), Buthotus saulcyi (0.35%), B:Family Liochelidae: Hemiscorpious lept urus(0.9%), C:Family Scorpionidae: Nebo sp (0.3%).Conclusion: KERMAN province with 8 scorpion species has a high bidogical founa. This is the second report of the Nebo Genus from Iran after the report in 1980 from Hengam island located in south of Iran in Persian Golf. Planning prevention, control and treatment programs based on the identified species is suggested.

The history of hospital construction is primarily divided into pre-Islamic and Isalmic periods; the latter also witnessed the emergence of European and American hospitals after the arrival of western medicine in Iran. KERMAN Morsalin hospital, belonging to Church Mission Society hospitals, is an example of such hospitals built under the supervision of British doctors in Iran. This hospital, listed as one of the Iranian national heritage, is considered as one of thefirst contemporary hospitals of this city. But, there was no evidence about its construction date. Therefore, I used the Interpretive-Historical methodology by organizing and analyzing historical documents to discern the early history of this hospital.The aim of this research was tofind out when the Morsalin hospital was built. Medical activities of the Church Mission Society, with the cooperation of Dr. Griffith, began in 1901. At First, there was not a special place to work and hence, he started treating patients at home. However, thirteen years later, in 1914, Dr. Dodson started constructing the hospital. This is the hospital which nowadays is known as Morsalin hospital.
