The Intertwinement of Maryan Nomad's Settlements with Historical Settlement of Taleshan

IntroductionThe variety of Iran’s ecological structures has created many cultural landscapes. Cultural landscapes illustrate a combination of man’s persistent life and the art of land modification by means of natural environment and in the form of human settlements in the past ages. Currently, the human society’s development in addition to the scientific progresses, man’s increasing use of resources and negative consequences of tourism development without any correct design and optimal management in natural historical areas, has led to the destruction of ecological and historical structures of cultural landscapes. The new consideration of general environmental protection has been the context for protecting biological historical areas and settlements. Natural and historical region of Talesh with special ecological characteristics is one of the most valuable and attractive areas which has settlements of 4500 years old. One of the valuable parts of Talesh cultural landscape, especially in Agh-evlar Maryan studying region of Talesh countryside near Karganrood River, is the permanent and seasonal settlements of local nomads. These settlements with special architecture, methods of utilizing local materials, correct location and particularly various times of building, have specific persistent and attract many tourists. On the other hand, the development of new constructions and villa building of surrounding cities has led to the gradual destruction of cultural landscapes of the region. Identifying these settlements and the way of their being spread by means of new technology of telemetry has created the basis for the general environmental protection of their cultural characters. In addition, the presentation of rules for developing the new buildings to match with the cultural landscape leads to stable tourism development.Considering that cultural landscape is a combination of man, nature and history, we can conclude that all cultural landscapes have originated from nature or have been developed in nature and the continuance of their lives depends on the nature. Natural resources such as natural structure of the earth (geomorphology), groundwater structure (underground streams, springs, aqueducts) and surface water (rivers, lakes and seas), plantation structure (trees, bushes and covering plants specially the local ones), wild life, weather, climate and other natural factors make a dynamic background on which humankind changes, evolves and is permanently developing.Materials and MethodTaking the general purpose of the study into consideration and introducing the natural historical bed and Agh-evlar Maryan cultural landscape in terms of a cultural landscape, in the process of studies, an analysis of natural bed characteristics and the historical and archeological features of the monument and works scattered throughout the plains and along Karaganrood river valley, has been carried out.
