Dogonbadan (Persian: دوگنبدان; in Persian pronounced as /dɔəgɔənbadɒːn/) is a city in the Central District of Gachsaran County, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[2]

Demographics

Population

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 81,902 in 18,264 households.[3] The following census in 2011 counted 91,739 people in 23,254 households.[4] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 96,728 people in 26,770 households.[5]

Climate

Dogonbadan has a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh) bordering on a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Csa). Dogonbadan’s proximity to the hot Persian Gulf makes its climate closer to Mesopotamia or coastal cities like Bushehr than to most of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. The city features sweltering and arid summers contrasting with pleasant and fairly wet winters.

Economy

Dogonbadan is an oil- and gas-producing city that has just started to expand and profits from its industrial capacity. The city has the largest gas reserves in Iran as well as the largest recoverable oil field in Iran and the third largest in the world.[6]
