The Economic Schedules of Shah Abbas I (1587-1629) are considered an important step forward in bringing a major transition in regional and international commerce during the medieval age. That could possibly performed through an extensive autonomy of the central government on the southern coast specially Hormuz and Kish islands that incurred national benefits in foreign commercial and logistic relationship especially with European countries. The strategic commodity of silk has had significant role in reconstruction of commercial ties between Iran and European countries. Using historical and geographical accounts (travelogue), this article tries to recognize the importance and status of the southern Iranian ports in silk trade with a case study of Bandar Abbas. The findings show that the process of silk commerce in Iran was organized with a precise supervision of Shah Abbas himself and his efforts to come up with production centers such as Kashan, Yazd and Isfahan in central Iran as well as export centers in southern regions such as Laar and Bandar Abbas.

Hormozgan located in the south of Iran with an anchorage background after the Volga River in the north of the country was an important gateway for Asian and European overseas merchants as well as importing goods into Iran. Bandar Abbas is the center of Hormozgan Province and one of metropolises of Iran which is also considered the economic pole of Iran.

This research seeks to answer the question of what are the similarities and differences between these two monuments and what has highlighted these similarities and differences. Therefore, these two monuments are studied and compared in terms of indicators such as architecture, building materials and building plan.

The melting of the polar ice caps in the north and Antarctica and the increase in the water volume of the oceans and seas cause changes in the sea coasts, which lead to the reduction of the land area of the coastal countries and the submergence of some islands. This change in closed and semi-closed seas, where the coasts of opposite countries are located at a short distance from each other, will have legal and political consequences, which will be the source of conflicts and tensions between coastal areas. One of the beaches on the northern edge of the Persian Gulf, which is considered the normal baseline, is the distance between Bandar Jask and Bandar Abbas. An area whose baseline will be challenged by rising seas and will have legal issues in the future.This article seeks to answer the question of how the rising water level in the Persian Gulf will affect the border issues between Iran and its maritime neighbors. The purpose of this research is to study the location of border tensions caused by climatic fluctuations in the Persian Gulf and the method of library and documentary research, and based on the statistics extracted from the sources, a new map was presented in the GIS environment with the techniques of this software. The results of the research indicate that the rise of the water level resulting from the melting of the polar ice caps in the future will cause a part of the land of the Islamic Republic of Iran to be submerged in front of Oman, and as a result, it will provide the basis for possible conflicts between Iran and that country.
