Abstract
It is important to know about the deserts of Iran because the geographical and climatic conditions of the desert have never been expanding by themselves. What expands deserts is the relationship that desert areas have with their surrounding environment. Climate change during the last few decades has caused climatic hazards in desert areas to cause a lot of human and financial losses. The purpose of this research is the spatial planning of climatic hazards in order to reduce their damages in desert areas. This research is descriptive-analytical in terms of applied method. At first, the most important climate hazards in desert areas were identified. Then, using the opinion of experts and interviewing them, the most important criteria and strategies to reduce the damages of climate hazards in desert areas were identified. The results showed that drought, increase in temperature intensity, heavy and short-term rainfall, frost, dust storms, and floods were identified as the most important climatic hazards during the past few years. In this research, cost-benefit, people's participation, technological and scientific tools available, political and social pressures, appropriateness and compatibility with the environment, traditional management and indigenous knowledge, government oil revenues, temporary managements, problems related to innovation and changing methods, The convenience of government administrative systems is a factor, and time, the beauty of the landscape, expert human resources, and emergency issues caused by climate hazards are considered as handicaps. The results show that the approval of a new and comprehensive law related to climate risks is the most important
