Abstract:
The most important rationale behind local historiography is to investigate local topics in specified place cut-off and time limited. Place (location) is the main base of local historiography and investigating geographic location of every event has a significant importance in the study of local history. Exact study and view place of occurrence of each event helps local historians for better understanding of social life dimensions of human's past and present life in that location; based on this, the present study focused on Pir Bakran region. Pir Bakran, with 86 km breadth and the population OF 54 thousand and 642 persons, is located in 15 km of southwest of Isfahan city. With regard to population, this region has the most percentage of Iran's MS patients and 125 persons are affected to MS in this region. This statistic is more than three times the global average, seven times Iran average and six-time Isfahan province average. MS patients’ statistics in Pir Bakran are closed to the patients’ statistics of Orkney Island in north Scotland that has the most percentage of MS in the world. In the last half century, MS disease that is a kind of disorder in central nerve, brain, and spinal cord, has become the most important health crisis of the inhabitants of Pir Bakran region. The present study is based on historical study of how and why the Pir Bakran region becomes one of the hotspots of MS in Iran. In this regard, this hypothesis is put to the test: which human activities for changing environment in the last half of the century and person's local talent cause MS outbreak.
