Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea

>>>back to working groups overview

Area	Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea, Iran
Place	Coastal Boulevard of Anzali Harbor
Country	Iran
Topics	Psychological Security
Author(s)	Mohamadreza, Negar, Amirhossein, Haniyeh

Rationale

What make the Coastal Boulevard (promenade) of Anzali[1] Port interesting to work as case study are its history, high use status by public and convenient accessibility from downtown for visitors of this coastal town to relax and enjoy the landscape. Unfortunately, despite all these significant positive aspects, lack of proper psychological security from the various points of views is highly perceived for this recreational built landscape!

A.2 Summary of you landscape system analysis and your development Targets

• 
  By analyzing the chosen area the most important drivers are listed as human needs,economy factors,social life and tourism which have the most effect on the landscape. As human need is one of the most important driver , the human activities have the greatest pressure on the area also environmental pressure such as the the port,breakwater and wharf. As it has been examined in the last slides the functions offered in this area is really limited and it suits just some group of the people and not all . This is one of the greatest disadvantages of the location and by making a multifunctional area the coast would be suitable for all the users. By making a multifunctional place the economy will increase as well. So lack of diversity in this area is being noticeable a lot. And that has a direct effect on quality of people's life .
• File:The transportation in this area , has been shown that there is not efficient designed roads and places and people complain about the motorcycles which drive close to the port and make an unsecure place for them.
• File:As the impacts , all in all will have an effect on people's psychology at first and the have a greater effect on different aspects such as health and economy . in addition we would face to biodiversity loss and environmental issues.
