  7. Abstract:
  8. Growth of cities leads to neglecting of travel behavior of nomads, although they are an important portion of Iran’s population. The aim of this study is recognition and studying transportation demand in a nomadic society that their households are mostly farmer. Firstly, the theory of activity-based modeling was studied. Sequential modeling was chosen for modeling which consider daily activities of each person as a result of five sequential decisions: a) Choosing daily activity pattern; b) Choosing primary tour time; c) Choosing primary tour mode choice; d) Choosing secondary tour time; e) Choosing secondary tour mode choice. In order to collect pertinent information and conduct survey, three areas of Semirom County of Isfahan Province were selected that Qashqaei Tribe mostly spends its Sardsir there. Appropriate questionnaire was designed suitable for gathering yearly and daily activities of nomads. Questioners surveyed 41 households, 166 persons. Sunsequently data were compiled by Excel Software. Thereafter, rudimentary analysis of database such as univariate, bivariate and cross-tab analysis were done. Using database then yearly activity patterns, daily activity patterns, primary and secondary tour time, primary and secondary tour mode choice were identified. The study consist of , firstly yearly activity patterns and modeling of nomads; then daily activities of nomads within the context of sequential and multinomial logit modeling. Accordingly, preliminary recognition of yearly activity and daily activity patterns of farmer nomads were identified
