Journal Title: Arid Regions Geographic Studies - Year 2024, Vol 15, Issue 56
Abstract
Aim: The most important purpose of this research is to identify the key factors affecting the hydropolitical relations of political-spatial units in the Gavakhuni catchment area. Material & Method: The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. The nature of the data is mixed, and the data collection method is library, field, and survey. In this research, after reviewing the authentic documents and texts, the factors affecting the hydropolitical relations of the political-spatial units of the Gavkhoni watershed were identified, and Micmac software was used to determine the key factors. In the following, the researchers provided the provided solutions in the form of a questionnaire to the research experts to check the correctness of the provided solutions and rank them with the FBMW model. Findings: This research has successfully identified 43 factors that significantly influence the hydropolitical relations of political-spatial units in the Gavakhuni catchment basin. These factors, categorized as determining, two-dimensional, influential, and independent, have been further narrowed down to nine key influencing factors. Conclusion: With the view of the separation of provincial management of water resources and arbitrary harvesting in different parts of the basin, transfer of water out of the basin, and regional and provincial conflicts, it seems that with the establishment of integrated management in the basin, based on the system approach and the basic cooperation relations in the basin, we can move towards improving the water situation in the Gaukhoni catchment basin. Innovation, application of the results: The innovation of this research is identifying key factors affecting the hydropolitical relations of political-spatial units of the Gavakhuni watershed using the opinions of academic and executive experts.
