Agroecological zoning is a process that divides a specific territory according to climatic and environmental indicators into homogeneous zones for agriculture. Essentially, agroecological zoning involves applying ecological principles to the management of sustainable agricultural systems. The diversity of the geographical environment in a region further emphasizes the need for ecological zoning. The primary objective of this study is ecological zoning and delineating the spatial patterns of cropping and orchards in the watersheds of region 3. The research falls under the category of applied-developmental research, with a descriptive-analytical research method employed. Relevant data have been gathered from the Iran Water Resources Management Company, the Geological Survey of Iran, and the Meteorological Organization of Iran. Geographic information systems and hierarchical analysis have been utilized for analysis. The results indicate that the three regions of the country exhibit significant diversity in terms of ecological indicators. Ecologically, this region comprises distinct zones, each with unique characteristics that differentiate them in terms of constraints and opportunities for horticultural and agricultural activities. These zones include the "zone of changing the dominant pattern of cultivation and irrigation systems, " the "zone of stabilizationof industrial plants and gardens, " the "development of cereals, legumes, and rainfed gardens, " the "development of oilseeds and tropical gardens, " and the "development of agritourism and organic gardens ". In conclusion, it can be inferred that in areas with substantial natural and environmental diversity, determining ecological zones and establishing spatial cultivation patterns is the most effective approach for resource utilization and mitigating the impacts of horticultural and agricultural activities. By determining spatial cultivation patterns, it becomes easier to identify the predominant types of orchards and agricultural crops suitable for each area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
