Minjavan-e Sharqi Rural District (Persian: دهستان منجوان غربی) is a rural district (dehestan) in Minjavan District, Khoda Afarin County, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran.[1] At the 2006 census, its population was 4,378 in 931 families.[2] The rural district has 36 villages.
Further information
In the wake of White Revolution (early 1960s) many clans of Mohammad Khanlu Tribe used the north part of the district as their winter quarters. The Tribe's summer quarters were located in the mountains of the southern part, which include prime pastures.[3] The district's population was in steady decline since the launch of land reform policies in the early 1960s. By 2000 some villages, for instance Garmanab, were already abandoned. Then, some expatriates, working as painters in Tehran, returned and built summer residences. At present the district is witnessing an unprecedented construction boom, a fact that can be easily noticed by comparing the included photos, both taken from Abbasabad respectively in 2009 and 2014. The general population trend in 2006-2012 period can, also, be quantitatively verified from the number of households reported in two official censuses.[4] However, there is a significant decline in the population, which is a reflection of a general trend in the Arasbaran region due to the lack of jobs.
