The growth and expansion of metropolitan areas as a global phenomenon is becoming the dominant form of urbanization, especially in developing countries. Despite the increasing importance of this form of urban growth, not many studies have been carried out regarding the multidimensional dynamics of the factors and mechanisms that stimulate urban-regional sprawl. In the current research, the structures and mechanisms affecting the informal processes that generate spatial expansion of the Tehran metropolitan region have been analyzed. This research is qualitative and in-depth semi-structured interviews were used to collect information. The data analysis was based on the constructivist Grounded Theory approach. Research participants included university professors, city managers, and experts from the municipalities, governorships, road and urban development departments, National Land and Housing Organization, Agriculture-Jahad, Natural Resources departments, etc. The sampling method was targeted non-random and based on snowball sampling. According to the results, 289 key phrases were identified in the initial coding, 130 concepts were identified in the centralized coding, 64 subcategories were identified in the axial coding, and finally, 34 broad main categories were identified in the theoretical coding. In total, according to the output of theoretical coding, all broad main categories in the form of 7 integrated main categories formed the theoretical model of the research. According to data analysis, economic and political economy structures, fundamental structures, legal structures, and judicial structures at the macro level and organizational-institutional structures and private and social sectors at the middle level affect the informal processes underlying land acquisition and the spatial expansion of the Tehran metropolitan region.

The development of public transportation (TOD) is considered as one of the most obvious forms of smart growth and one of the examples of sustainable transportation. The process of urban growth with a decrease in the quality of services in the transportation system, which has increased the volume of traffic and inadequacy in services, especially in metropolitan cities, seems challenging and inefficient. The purpose of this article is to analyze the relationship between land use and transportation in the form of stratification of three metro stations in the 8th district of Mashhad, namely Koh Sangi, Shariati and Basij, through the measurement of selected indicators, including block characteristics, mix of uses, pedestrian crossings, and bicycle paths. And the transportation facility is under the development of public transportation (TOD). The research method of this article is descriptive-analytical and its type is quantitative and qualitative. Data collection has been done through document-library and completing the questionnaire. For data analysis, spatial analysis methods, hierarchical analysis (AHP) were used for stratification in terms of compliance with TOD indicators, SWOT analysis was used, and quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) was used to determine priorities. has been the results of this research showed that Koh Sangi station with a final score of 0.448 is the best option in terms of meeting TOD indicators in District 8 of Mashhad Municipality. The next priority is Shariati station with a final score of 0.312 and Basij station with a score of 0.240. After measuring the indicators and choosing the final station and analysis tables, SO offensive strategy has been selected and suggestions have been made in line with this strategy.

Nowadays, the inclusion of natural and biophilic urban elements in all areas of urban planning and design and construction is necessary. Biophilic environments provide plenty of light, natural ventilation and plants and green spaces that we can use in Reconstruction of gardens, hospital spaces, etc. In the ideal case, biophilic urban planning in several scales at the same time (residential, neighborhood, urban) results in a complex set of natural features and from the side The building and the site are moving towards the living area, which in turn leads to the wide urban biophilic design. This is the case that due to the spread of the corona virus and the need for children to use nature, who are city dwellers, who are more interested in They need nature any time and it is very necessary to find creative and effective ways to combine nature with urban environments. Researches conducted in the second half of this century emphasize increasing human awareness of problems and believe that many of these problems are due to lack of communication. Man is born with nature as a child. After studying the research done in this field, it can be concluded that man and nature must have a very close relationship with each other. Therefore, this research aims to extract the indicators of biophilic urbanization through documentary studies and localize and implement these concepts in the design of the studied example (phase 8 of the campus). Tools, objective observations, questionnaire will be evaluated, then it will be used by examining urban design policies to design a child-friendly neighborhood with a biophilic approach.

The survival of cities as living beings and their inhabitants depends on the supply of water. Numerous factors such as population growth, climate, drought, consumption pattern, amount of available water resources and utility network affect the equation of water supply and consumption. What has been less considered in the traditional planning process than ever before is the connection between land use planning and water issues, and the undeniable and significant impact of urban development on water issues. Comprehensive urban plans as the most important document of city development has a missing link called water and limited water resources; However, a large number of people in Iranian cities have been under drinking water stress in recent years. They become groundwater resources.

 Air pollution is one of the major challenges of urban management in Tehran. Nowadays, the problem of air pollution and traffic congestion in the metropolis of Tehran, like most major cities in the world, is quite concerning. Land use and transportation are two main sectors that have a maximum contribution to environmental pollution.

The impetus of this article is to investigate the urban land use efficiency, the distribution of land use, and their impact on transportation and pollutants. For this purpose, the following question was raised: What has been the impact of urban land-use efficiency and distribution of land use in Tehran on transportation and air pollution over the last two decades?

The present paper is a real-life case study for which data was collected through documentary-library, municipal data, and satellite images. In this study, Landsat satellite images, ENVI 5.3, ArcGIS 10.8, Google Earth Pro, and SPSS 24 were used.

The results of this study indicate the expansion of Tehran, the loss of vegetation,and their transformation into built lands. Over the past two decades, the growth of the built-up area in Tehranhas exceeded the population growth which indicates the inefficiency of the land during this period. In other words, the expansion of the city has been more towards the suburbs with low population density. The study of the correlation between land use types during the period 2004-2016 indicates the scattered growth of Tehran. In such situations, residents use more private cars, which increases traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and air pollution.

Today, the method of distribution, provision and realization of urban services is one of the important necessities of urban life and urban development plans. However, the use of traditional methods of providing land for urban services has led to the fact that many lands allocated for public services have not been realized and have created problems for citizens and city managers, and therefore some areas of cities lack the necessary services to Biology is appropriate. Therefore, this issue leaves no choice but to resort to new methods in front of planners and city managers; these include the development of a right to development, which is based on respect for property rights. This study, using the fields and theoretical foundations of the subject, studies the feasibility of using the method of transferring the right to development to increase the feasibility of urban services in Karaj (areas No.1 and No.2 of the city) and seeks to answer the question that the requirements and What are the conditions for using this approach and which parts of districts No.1 and No.2 of Karaj are suitable for this model.

To answer these questions, A Analytical Network Process is used to prioritize the indicators and ArcGIS software is used for spatial analysis. According to the pattern of transfer of development rights, the neighborhoods located in districts No.1 and No.2 of Karaj city were divided into areas for receiving and transferring development rights.

The results showed that in the receiving areas, occurrence in the high compression zone in the comprehensive plan with a weight of 0.22 is in the first place, high land price with a weight of 0.16 is in the second place, high price in the residential unit with a weight of 0.15 is in the third place. In the areas of sending the parameter, the lack of government funding for land ownership with a weight of 0.34 is in the first priority, the high service levels proposed by urban development projects with a weight of 0.24 are also in the second priority. Azimiyeh 4 from District 1 has a very large capacity to receive development fees and the faculties of the faculty and Shah Abbasi and Moradab public areas have a very large capacity to send development fees.

Finally considering this method faces legal, financial and managerial challenges, Suggested to solve these challenges, Providing mechanisms and requirements such as prediction in urban development plans, Establishment the Office of the Transfer of Development Rights in the municipalities, Provide incentive packages By municipalities in order to creating motivate participation, And review the laws and regulations related to property rights in order to increase the efficiency of the method of transferring the right to development.

Following the rapid growth and increasing expansion of cities in the last few decades, the issue of urban land use has attracted the attention of urban planners and has become the subject of numerous researches, the results of which indicate significant changes in the field of land use, also without land use planning. It is not possible to achieve an optimal pattern of living in cities. Today, urban land use planning deals with how to use and distribute and protect land, spatial and spatial organization of activities and functions, based on the wishes and needs of the urban community and specifies the types of land use. The spatial expansion of cities and the integration of villages and their surrounding lands is one of the important consequences of rapid urbanization, which has had a significant effect in regional capitals. The fair spatial distribution of facilities and resources among urban areas as one of the most important elements of a desirable urban life is one of the requirements for establishing a dynamic, coherent and progressive society, but economic inequality and poverty in the society cause the formation of informal settlements and land use changes, especially agricultural lands around cities. has been In this research, we have reviewed some of these researches

Urban planning is always heading to optimize using of unused and abandoned lands in order to avoid unsustainability. Redevelopment and reusing of these lands are playing significant roles for urban development. Proper planning could enhance the deficiency and contribute to prepare the needed land uses of cities. The purpose of this study is to determine and evaluate the status of these spaces of Tehran, district 18. First of all, environmental, physical, social and economic consequences of abandoned land was studied. Based on infill development approach and strategic vision, the development process of these lands was explained in local communities. To characterize the abandoned areas, some criteria were identified as indicators for evaluating land use capacity. Out of total 57008 land plots in the region, 15 unified land plots (sand quarries, Shadabad Iron Market, three brick furnace, six abandoned warehouses and four abandoned factories) were determined as abandoned spaces. AHP analysis method was used to the redevelopment plan based on the indicators of sustainable and intelligent development and adapted GIS maps. The results show that the land 1 with 189.8364 hectare is the priority for using in redevelopment planning for Tehran, district 18.

Vandalism is one of the problems of cities today in urban public spaces. Vandalism tendencies are shaped by intrinsic and personality factors. And how the location of the location affects the likelihood of vandalism. Among the landmarks, land use is one of the factors affecting the occurrence of degradation. The role of land use index has been examined under the criterion of land use compatibility, land use desirability, land use capacity, land use dependency and activity intensity in public urban spaces. The research is a qualification- analytic one that examines the proportion of variables by correlation method. The variables are selected based on library studies and prior research. Data were collected through field observations and in-person observations and questionnaires. Case studies are two municipalities of Hamadan. The questionnaires were distributed among 387 residents and clients of the two municipalities of Hamadan, and field observations and face - to - face surveys collected from 283 codes in the urban public spaces of the study sample were statistically analyzed. The results indicate that sub-criterion of land use compatibility has the highest average rank and effectiveness, and after that index of activity intensity, land use desirability, land use dependency, and land use capacity respectively are important. It is expected that more attention will be paid to these factors in urban planning and design to control and mitigate destructive tendencies and the likelihood of this occurrence in urban public spaces.

In recent decades, the question how we could reduce the frequency of auto mode and increase frequency of the other modes- walk and transit- is a challenged for urban planners. Many planning researchers and practitioners believe that individuals rely on automobiles partly to travel from place to place because land uses are separated and spread out. By contrast, when certain design features such as higher development densities and continuous sidewalks are combined with the mixed land uses, many expect residents of these communities to drive less and walk and bike more, on average. Tehran has been blamed for high levels of automobile travel and Traffic congestion, high travel time. So the primary purpose of this study was to investigate how relative associations between travel behavior and land use patterns where people live and non-work destination impact modal choice and frequency of travel modes in three different development patterns in Tehran. In fact this study wants to answer two questions: 1) whether patterns of travel behavior to non work destinations at neighborhood level are different? And a key question which is largely unanswered: 2) whether patterns of land development of neighborhoods affect travel behavior of residents? And particularly, whether pattern of neighborhood land development influences travel behavior or whether travel attitudes and preferences and socio-demographic characteristics influence travel behavior? In other words, whether differences in the built environment are associated with differences in travel behavior, after accounting for socio-demographic characteristics and for attitudes and preferences? More specifically, environments where residents are closer to destinations and have viable alternatives to driving are in fact associated with less driving. Here factor analysis, linear regression analysis are used to investigate the relationship between neighborhood characteristics and travel behavior while taking into account the role of travel preferences and neighborhood preferences in explaining this relationship. This study explored the relationship between the residential environment and non work travel frequencies by auto, transit, and walk/bicycle modes. In fact, a multivariate analysis of cross sectional data in three different land development patterns of neighborhoods of Tehran-Monirye, Koye-Bime and Koye-Golestan shows that there are differences in travel behavior between neighborhoods. Koye-Golestan (as a car-oriented neighborhood) largely is influenced by attitudes in contrast to Koye-Bime (as a conventional neighborhood), and Monirye (as a traditional neighborhood) land use characteristics are mostly affect on travel behavior. In general, however the number of autos that residents have as a socio-demographic characteristics and auto pro-travel attitude as a travel behavior attitude index largely influence on travel behavior, distance to transit, land use diversity as well as destination accessibility as land use index significantly influenced frequency by travel modes to non work destinations in neighborhoods. Taken together, our results suggest that if cities use land use policies to offer options to drive less and use transit and non-motorized modes more, many residents will tend to do so.

Today, the distribution method of urban services is one of the major requirements of urban life. However, using traditional methods of land supply for urban services in Iran (such as compulsory acquisition, dispersed incentive policies, etc.) has led to the destruction of agricultural land, gardens and other valuable land. It has also led to non-optimal use of land with the capacity for development. This has not left a choice to urban managers and planners other than turning to new approaches, including transfer of development rights which is based on respecting ownership rights. The transfer of development rights (TDR) is a voluntary and market-based land use management mechanism. In this approach, land development is introduced to more suitable areas to protect the land with higher agricultural value, the environmentally sensitive areas and open spaces. The concept of TDR is to establish an exchangeable market of transferable development rights. In this applied research, quantitative techniques were studied in the city of Shiraz using theoretical background concepts. It was attempted to answer these questions: “What are the conditions required for using the TDR approach in Shiraz metropolis? Which metropolitan area is suitable for the implementation of this approach?” Analytic hierarchy process (AHP), expert questionnaires and Arc GIS software were used to answer these questions. Based on the TDR method, the case study regions were divided into regions transferring and receiving development rights. In this context, each of the regions has an indicator. The results showed that in the receiving regions the participation rate of citizens ranked first with a weight of 0.271. The desire to increase density and having the passage network ranked second and third, respectively. In the transferring regions, parameters of monuments and historic buildings ranked first with a score of 0.273. Citizen participation was the second and gardens was the third priority. Based on the results, District 5 of Area 1, District 7 of Area 4 and Districts 2, 3 and 4 of Area 8 have a very high potential to get developed. Also, District 1 of Area 1, Districts 1 and 6 of Area 2 and District 2 of Areas 6 and 8 have a very high potential to transfer development rights. The results indicate that this approach needs to be implemented in Shiraz metropolis as it enjoys lands which are valuable for their historical, natural and ecological properties, such as Ghasredasht gardens and the central historical texture of the city. The main requirements for the implementation of this model are high level of people's participation, firm legal guarantees, the presence of a coherent administrative structure, and respect for private property and public interests. The present research has been conducted academically based on the available information and resources. The participation of organizations and executive authorities is required to apply the results. In fact, this research has investigated the necessity of implementing the TDR model with an emphasis on Shiraz metropolis. It has identified priorities related to executive issues and urban management for each district of Shiraz

The study of mutual relationship of physical environment of cities with social behaviors from it negative and abnormal type is a subject that has added to geographical studies during the last decade and it has provided scientific and practical frame work for spatial-lovative Analysis of crime and abnormally studies in geographical space. The aim of present research is investigation of the type and the extent of land use and formation of crime connected with drug. The method of the study is analytical and descriptive. To recognize and understand the spatial patterns of crime in the city, it is used statistical test of average oval, index nearest neighbor in the standard deviation, kernel density estimation, geographical information system (GIS).The current statistical population under the study is formed from crime and maintenance of drug abuse during Mehr 1391-1392 has formed .the result of research show that the over snandaj judicial file Th most important drug focus Sanandaj city are located in Abbas Abad, farajeh, Kani Kozaleh, Shohada and Shohada street which are crowded part of the Sanandaj city and they are the informal settlements according to the physical structure. The type and land use combination show that the majority of the crimes are accrured at Emam street, Sirous street, Ferdousi street and Shohad at residential and commercial range like. Therefore; Organization of depict and unprotected Place framework In Sanandaj consider as a necessity for contrast with social abnormal

Land use type is one of the main and influential variables on the performance of corridors and travel pattern of citizens in an urban structure. So the quality of using land and the pattern of spatial distribution affect the travel patterns of citizens. Hence the aim of the present study is to evaluate and assess the impact of existing land uses on the structural and functional corridors on the travel patterns of citizens in a zone 1 of Hamadan city to achieve an integrated transport system. The methodology of the research is based on descriptive-analytical approaches. The number of samples with respect to the uncertainty and seasonal changes of population (Shariati, mirzadeh Eshghi, saeidieh) obtained 225, 265 and 290. The data was analyzed using SPSS which included variance analysis, multiple regression analysis of one-way T and HMR. The results show that the land uses play important role in the performance travel pattern of citizens. The most influential use was mixed pattern as it directed the most of the travel towards the public transport with Beta =. 976. Finally, with regard to the results, the integrated transport system was proposed in the framework of ABC.

Today, in most of the cities of the world, its necessary to prepare the urban land use plans, in order to make a balance and interaction to develop the different parts of the city. Relying on urban planning knowledge, such plans are made for a certain period of time. The time period set for development plans, sometimes causes challenge during the implementation. The main reasons of challenges are subjects that were not mentioned or have been omitted because of the large scale of the plan. An important part of spatial development plan is the way of encountering these challenges. Some of these challenges are caused the need to change approved plans, spatially about land use change. As Land use plan is the operational aspect of urban planning, it has become the concentrate of urban planners in the world. In this case, the changes in official documents for land uses, is a challenging point. The feasibility of plans is a strategic point. Most of professions in urban development claimed that it is necessary to change some land uses because of rapid spatial evolutions. The mechanism of land use change is an important task. In the case of Iran, there are many institutional problems that cause formal and informal changes in land uses. It seems that urban development plans in Iran are not well-defined to cope with uncertainties for change. in this case, this article is considering the different experiments for land use change mechanisms in two kind of countries, developed (Britain and United states) and under developed (India and Turkey) ones. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is studying the system of urban management in different countries to recognize the mechanism of land use change after improvement of development plans. Also the comparative study of the process of such changes in studied countries is the other objective of this paper. Method of data collection was library research while qualitative and comparative analyses were used to organize the topic. This study could step ahead in order to update the land use planning system, proper process of making change in it and use the true methods of planning used in Iran and other parts of the world. In all cases, the land use change occurred in two situations: first the changes of formal documents and second the changes that the stakeholders demand for them. In the UK, there are categories (classes) for land uses, and the change from one class to another one needs permission. In the U.S there is a flexible manner in land use plans with the help of variances. These facilities for land use change are in the processes of land use planning in India. There are two proposed land uses, one is the main land use and the other is the secondary land use. The second land uses make the plan flexible for change. The final decision maker is not the local government, but the main national state. In Turkey, the change in land use would be occurred after the amendments of main urban land use plan. The main ministry in national scale is responsible for monitoring the changes in land use plans. In Iran, the changes would happen if the stakeholders demand for it. This article clarifies that the changes in proposal land uses are inevitable, so the processes for managing them is the strategic point. In the final step, the principals of land use change mechanisms derived from the successful land use planning systems, are analyzed in Iran regarding the experts, professional actors and decision makers’ viewpoints. By applying the Delphi method, the main actors who has significant role in land use changes in Iran were defined. The analysis shows that market leaders play an important role in land use changes. On the other hand the opportunities and constraints of applying the principals improving land use change mechanisms were defined and evaluated by the professionals. The results show that the importance of hierarchy of national to local order is as well as the flexibility of land use plans to consider inevitable changes. The results show that for the principal of stakeholder’s participation, the uncertainties of regulative systems is the main constrain and the role of strategic planning with emphasize on the performance of plans is the main opportunity. For the principal of environmental considerations, the local organizations, NGOs and new approaches in land use planning which emphasize on ecological aspects of urban activities are the main opportunities in Iran and as well as the previous principal, the lack of regulative mechanisms to perform environmental considerations is the main constrain.

The provision of land-use planning in the rural settlements is considered a prerequisite of optimal living conditions. To ensure this impact, it is of utmost importance to impose regulatory provisions on land-use changes. One of the most important provisions is the rural guide plans for the control and prediction of future land allocation. However, factors composed of legal, economics, natural and social components have initiated massive changes in land-use contrary the resolutions of the rural guide plans. Notwithstanding the fact that most of these land use changes were caused by human factors, the lack of logical planning frameworks for land allocation, negligence of sustainable development considerations, absence of integrated management, and the disregard for the environmental impacts of relevant activities all play a part in the outcome.
With regard to sensitivity of the issue, this research tries to clarify which of the factors is more responsible for land-use changes in Taft County.. The current study is based on the findings of an applied research, which draws on a combination of qualitative and quantitave methods. The descriptive data were acquired from field observations in the rural setting, as well as in depth study of the available documents in physical or virtual archives. The field data were gathered through interviews with the rural residents in addition to first hand observation of the impacts of land-use changes on different dimensions of the rural settlement. Results indicate that the impact of factor pertaining to rural population and environmental issues in greater than other proposed factors, and has undermined the impact of legislative and economic considerations on land allocation.

Today the creation of sustainable and habitable neighborhoods has become one of the requirements of planning and management in cities (and especially metropolises). Places have a great influence on the quality of life of their inhabitants. In creating a permanent neighborhoods, several factors has infuoence such as economic, physical, cultural factors.In this regard, urban land use (especially commercial use due to the nature of daily activities) is considered as one of the main factors in the neighborhood system, which, on the one hand, guarantees vitality, dynamism and access, and on the other hand, it can have bad effect such as increase the magnitude of traffic congestion and etc... This paper tries to investigate the relationship between the role of distribiution commercial use and the sustainability of urban neighborhoods in order to determine the direction of land use planning on the scale of urban neighborhoods. In this regard, the neighborhood of Darous is considered as one of the neighborhoods of the 3rd district of Tehran. One-sample T-test was used to measure the level of neighborhood sustainability.Since the ultimate goal of this research is to determine the extent of the impact of distribiution of commercial use on neighborhood sustainability, so has been used of regression analysis.The results showed that the neighborhood sustainability indicators of the Darous are at an appropriate level, and commercial use at the neighborhood level, have enhanced increasing resident's access to shopping centers, vitality and social monitoring, neighborhood security and led to the sustainability of Darous residential neighborhoods.

Planning of cities in order to respond to considerable needs of urban population, is one of the most important concerns of urban managers and authorities. Urban development plans which have been provided to respond to these issues, have different objectives and characteristics. Hence different plans are developed to plan and organize cities. Most of these plans are being prepared without consideration of outcomes and results of previous plans. They dont evaluate and measure the success of previous plans in improving the condition of city. Evaluation enhances planning practice. It legitimizes planning before citizens, providing sustained appraisals on planning products, procedures and results. Implementation evaluation of urban development plans can result in creating efficient and responding plans. Many regulatory-oriented planning systems employ comprehensive land-use plans as a central tool for carrying out planning policies. Aside from the vast effort invested in planning, land-use plans have a direct economic effect on land value and property rights. So, Land-use plan as a part of urban development plan which has considerable influence on public and private interest, needs to be evaluated more than other parts. Implementation evaluation of plans is performed based on three main approaches: Conformance-based, Performance-based and synthesis approaches. Conformance-based evaluation means judging the success or failure of planning using one or two criteria - the conformance degree between the outcomes on the ground and the plan proposals and the promotion of planning goals and objectives through the available implementation instruments-. Performance-based evaluation follows from defining a plan as a decision framework. After distinguishing between project plans and strategic plans and concluding that the conformance criterion is useful only in the evaluation of the former, performance-based approach develops the performance criterion to assess strategic plans. In some few studies on plan implementation, researchers explore the potentialities of an integrated use of both approaches and their simultaneous application for comparative purposes. These researchers have tried to create new methods based on the strengths of those approaches. This study wants to measure the conformance between proposed plan and current condition of city and to evaluate the implementation of land-use plan of Lavasan with regards to this. The evaluation is based on three factors: land-use, density and floor area ratio. Non- conformances in land-use has been grouped in 12 main groups. Results show that 54 percent of city area has non -conformance in land -use which 12 percent of these non -conformances are basic and they represent disobedience from proposed plan. Moreover, 7 percent of city area is allocated to lots with non-conformance in floor area ratio and 9 percent of city area is allocated to lots with non -conformance in density. 5 percent of lots have both non - conformances - floor area ratio and density-. Most of non- conformances has been occurred in central neighborhoods of city. In order to reduce these non-conformances, it is useful to consider specific situation of Lavasan in providing new plans. Control and supervision of plan implementation is also helpful for improving plan's degree of success.

The overlap between neo-traditional neighborhoods and the provision of transit services became an incentive for Peter Calthorpe to codify the concept of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the late 1980’s. As a new approach, it has been developed in direction of sustainable urban development in recent decades. It aims to integrate land use and transportation planning system through the construction or extension of a rapid transit system along with the creation of compact, and walk-able neighborhoods (mixeduse communities) around transit stations will encourage people to live near transit station areas and use it to reduce the use of individual car and creates more safe, dynamic and friendly communities. This means that “TOD” developed as a new approach based on sustainable development principles. Since transit systems promote more efficient resource usage, cities are increasingly applying transit-based strategies to solve urban sprawl and urban planning dilemma. Considering this background and the existing challenges of Iranian cities including car-dependency, traffic congestion and hence the traffic-related pollution problems, and particularly the pattern of urban sprawl which is extending due to the wave of urban and rural migration, it is necessary to use such new approaches to reduce such challenges and create a driving force for sustainability of urban areas. In this regard, Sanandaj has been selected as case study of the research to pursue some aspects of TOD regarding its mixed-use corridor type for Pasdaran Boulevard. Sanandaj is situated in west of Iran and according to the 2011 Iranian census; the total population of Sanandaj is 375280. As the capital of Kurdistan province, it contains a wide range of industrial and institutional services. The same as other Iranian cities, Sanandaj also experienced the pattern of sprawl development mainly due to the topographic features of the city’s natural context, the wave of migration from rural areas and inadequate and unaffordable housing provision within the city. Residents of sprawl areas are commuting cross- suburbs to city and vice versa each day to reach urban services and homes. This daily movement which\ increases the number of trips by private cars is also worsening the Sanandaj’s urban challenges. Within this context, the study location is a 6.4 km corridor on Pasdaran Blvd which formed the main north-south corridor in Sanandaj. This corridor begins in downtown Sanandaj at Azadi sq., and runs across the Blvd through Deedgah Park to Jahad Sq. at the gateway to Kermanshah. This corridor serves as the primary gateway to Kermanshah and between the city and Baharan district and as an important principal corridor to move traffic north-south across the whole city of Sanandaj. Considering the above points, the study has been adopted a kind of Descriptive-Analytical method regarding the results of records and field survey conducted in spring 2012 to cover the following 1. Creating a comprehensive development approaches for the Pasdaran corridor that Takes advantage of its location and public transportation resources. 2. Creating an interconnected system of opportunities for transit station areas within the corridor 3. Intensifying development in proximity to the transit stations along Pasdaran corridor Regarding to the questions such as: the capabilities and limitations of land use, density of urban texture, characteristics of public transport such as traffic problems, accessibility and mobility, pedestrian and bicycle issues, bus services and parking facilities has been studied along the Pasdaran corridor. For more details, the Pasdaran corridor has been divided into two sections based on common physical, functional and traffic characteristics. For strategies and prioritizing them, a multi-criteria decision-making method including AHP has been used regarding to the certain aims including increasing sustainability and creation of people-friendly and dynamic environment, accessibility and providing sustainable transport options and reducing environmental challenges. The following strategies have got highest priority regarding each section to maximize TOD potential and benefits to the boulevard: Section one: Reducing car dependency, Pedestrianization along with development of public transport, Beautification of the public buildings sustainable architecture and paying more attention to the quality of public places Section two: increasing access to public transport, connectivity of main roads, improving pedestrian movement and access and more mixed-uses and transferring Incompatible functions Due to the proximity of first section to the city centre, its strategies are mainly in relation to the identity and sense of place preservation along with pedestrian-oriented development approach. On the contrary, the strategies of second section focus on the accessibility to public transport and car-dependency reduction. To achieve such strategies, it is necessary to create a legal framework for city’s spatial planning. Also, it is essential to integrate various sectors including private, public and government to pave the way for implementation of such strategies.
