Providing a Suitable Model to Promote Ecological Cohesion and Environmental Resilience (Case Study: Behshahr)

Environmental problems are one of the most fundamental problems of today's city and the result of human conflict with the natural environment. In this regard, in order to achieve the research goal to promote ecological cohesion and environmental resilience, the capabilities of remote sensing science and GIS and the use of continuity measurement metric (MNN) along with the Forman mosaic model has been used. Analysis of maps resulting from land use change shows; Stains made in the period (1986-2020) due to increasing population and demand for land and, as a result, urban growth in recent years by (+ 68%) increase in agricultural use (-52%) and gardens and green space (-31%) and barren lands have also decreased by about (-41%). The results of MNN metric analysis also indicate that; The continuity of the elements of the ecological structure of Behshahr city, especially the agricultural spots during the study period, has not been in good condition and has been severely damaged so that the ecological continuity of the agricultural spots in the last 34 years is about 48 meters, gardens and green space about 10 Meters have decreased and the distances between similar ecological spots have increased. In the end, the present study led to the preparation of a proposed model and protection and remediation solutions, as well as a critical network map of the study area.
