Socioeconomic and Environmental Situation Analysis of Mazandaran Province with Conceptual Model Approach DPSIR

Planning and policymaking in the field of economic, social, and environmental development of the province requires having accurate information about the region. Land cover in Mazandaran province is changing rapidly due to high population densities, high rates of immigrants, favorable natural conditions, multiplicity of industrial units, coastal borders and huge construction trends in the recent saline. It is clear that the balanced and imbalanced development of geographic spaces requires careful and comprehensive examination of economic, social, and cultural issues, and a better understanding of the needs of the community and their improvement. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the predisposing and effective factors on natural resources and ecosystems of Mazandaran province. This research is a descriptive-analytic study based on library studies and comprehensive review and search of electronic databases in order to fully identify Mazandaran province in terms of economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects, and then assess the status of the province based on the analytical framework of the DPSIR model. The results of the study indicate an increase in the area of residential, agricultural, rangeland, road, transportation and fall in the forests of the province. This study was also used to increase population density, agricultural development, roads development, industrial development, urban development and propellants forces. The results of the study showed that the DPSIR model can classify diverse information about the province's conditions in order to provide this information to policymakers for possible responses, and this is why the method has been rapidly increasing in recent decades by researchers and policymakers in use.
