| Description |
True specification of the geographic landscapes is possible through the recognition of nature and studying the culture and roots of the humans’ civilization. In line with this, knowing the spatial specification and formation of the society’s body in the geographical realms is highly dependent on cultural data especially human traditions and religions. In a way that some of the thinkers acknowledge Abrahamic religions, especially Islam in its socio-cultural aspects, as the unifying and identifying unit of geographical spaces, which is fed by the high standards of Islamic culture. Therefore, cultural interpretations in order to evaluate the dynamism of social systems seem crucial.
Three Congresses of Islamic World Geographers in the last years is an attempt to gain the abovementioned goals. University of Sistan and Baluchestan is now proudly the host for the fourth one. Global issues in the recent years like population growth, economic crisis, environmental problems, and global warming has brought about numerous difficulties in the world, and more specifically in the Islamic world. This congress is a chance for scholars and elites across the Iran and world to exchange ideas and offer solutions in order to take advantage of the available opportunities for a way out of the obstacles facing Islamic world and furthermore achieve a sustainable development.
Information Technology progresses especially in Information Management as well as the entrance of new technologies in Geographical Sciences such as Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) of discussions is very important in Geographers’ society. May all the Islamic world geographers analyses their research experiments results in order to overcome the obstacles of the development of these countries.
