| description | The study was performed aimed to determine the root causes of the destruction of rangelands using a descriptive-analytical method in Sistan region. For this purpose, 81 components were identified firstly by field method, literature reviews, and brainstorming in four sections: 1) the political-managerial, 2) the social, cultural and educational, 3) the economic and 4) the ecological. The interaction matrix was formed with the identified components in the form of a questionnaire and was completed by 36 respondents from specialists, experts, and stockholders. Identified components were screened using structural analysis to obtain influential components with high influence and low dependency. The state of dispersion of components in the dependence and influence axes showed that the system is stable in direct and indirect methods, as well as the potential direct and indirect effects methods of structural analysis. Based on the results, nine components identified as the most important components that can control the future, and for any program and action to rehabilitate rangelands, we must improve the state of these components, firstly. Eight of these components are in the political and managerial section and one in the social, cultural and educational part. Among these three components, the unselecting of competent officials, the dominance of relations over the rules, and the irresponsibility of members of parliaments in all methods were identified as the most influential components. Lack of proper protection of basic and genetic resources, lack of proper use of natural and cultural goods and services, border problems identified as the most dependence components, and as indicators of rangeland status that monitoring their status recommended to measure the success of the management. The results of this study showed that the crisis in the rangeland state in Sistan is mostly a managerial-political crisis at the highest levels of government and not ecology at the local low levels. |
