Abstract
Introduction: Spatial distinctions of the activity of nomadic activists emerged following the expansion of the infrastructure of capital relations in a way that it is more than relying on the productive resources and characteristics within the territory to serve additional value. It is strongly influenced by the types of interactions outside the territory of the ecosystem (cities-villages). In this regard, the spatial imbalance has formed that improving the communication infrastructure has provided the creative platforms for planning the sustainability of the development and the integrity of the ecosystem.
Purpose of the research: In the framework of the network paradigm, with an emphasis on the approach of the principles of the regional network, in order to analyze the role and functions of summer and winter pastures within the realm of the ecosystem and the relationships and links outside the realm of the ecosystem with cities and villages based on the preservation and or transforming the capital (maintenance in banks, funds and cooperatives, buying and renting property and real estate, increasing livestock and production, insurance) in order to gain more value. Among these effects, he mentioned the spatial differences of the systems and the interference of users on each other's resources.
Methodology: in terms of purpose, it is practical and based on a descriptive-analytical method. According to the nature of the research, the method of data collection is a library research method and field visits based on all the systems at the ecosystem level. The required data and information have been collected from the questionnaire tool and questioning technique. Then, the spatial network analysis method (based on the social network analysis method) has been used. In the framework of this method, the primary analysis criteria are based on the classified indicators of the flows under the conceptual relationships of the adapted elements of the networks. The tool used for analysis is software (Ucinet).
Geographical area of research: The research location was summer pasture systems located in Shorab Tengzai village and Winter pasture systems around the villages (Lali, Andika, Gatund, Shushtar, Masjid Sulaiman) as the whole ecosystem as well as the junctions (Chama, Khoon Kalli, Zarde, Lepad, Chelo, Shimbar and Minar).
Results and discussion: For centralized planning and investment restructuring to achieve sustainable development of the whole integrated ecosystem, it is necessary to know the spatial patterns of interactions and characteristics of relationships - visible and hidden relationships between inside and outside the territory.
Conclusion: The nature of the flow of capital relies on environmental resources (grazing space and pasture), supply and livestock production. With the role of the urban centers of Lali, the ecosystem is limited to three main cities in the neighborhood of the ecosystem. By following the polar spatial pattern, the financial reserves and capital are transferred to buy houses and properties near winter pastures and to buy and increase livestock in winter pastures. Therefore, the cities of Lali, Farsan, and Shahrekord took the first, second, and third places, and the resorts of Golchin, Chamdar, and Ab Bakshan took the fourth, fifth, and sixth places.
