The role of man-made factors in desertification east of Isfahan

The most important center of dust production in Isfahan province is Segzi-Rudasht center. This center with an area of 801520 hectares is located in the east of the historical city of Isfahan. Despite the great economic potential, the study area is in a state of imbalance due to drought, reduction of agricultural activities, lack of employment processes and consequently unemployment and lack of demand for labor, which is due to the imbalance in the coming years. Reducing water resources and increasing particulate matter become more critical. Creating and spreading dust in the east of Isfahan. This research is a survey research and questionnaires were designed to achieve the research objectives appropriate to the statistical population of the project. In addition, observational interview methods were used to obtain more information. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were assessed by a panel of experts using the opinions of experts in natural resources and desertification, and the reliability was assessed through a pilot study by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient.In order to analyze the data and information from different methods of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis such as pca factor analysis (factor analysis), The results show that determining the degree of importance of each factor indicates the great importance of water and agriculture factors in intensifying desertification and the occurrence of fine dust in the Segzi-Rudasht pilot. There are social factors and finally development and technological factors. The extent of economic damage is only part of the enormous damage that this phenomenon has done to the system of research scope
