Investigating the application of Nur Abad Mamasani's lands using the Geographical information system (GIS)

Investigating the application of city lands means the way the application, distribution, maintenance, local-spatial organization of the activities and city functions are analyzed on the basis of the needs and requirements of the civil society. Nowadays, paying attention to the inappropriate development of the cities and the imbalance of the current applications, on the one hand, and moving toward qualitative improvement of the citizenship, organizing and optimizing the application of lands in the cities, on the other hand, are among significant issues in this field. In this research, the application of the land in Nur Abad Mamasani has been analyzed both analytically and theoretically; moreover, the theoretical viewpoints and the applied procedures of the application analysis of the civil lands, both in Iran and the world, have also been analyzed. Therefore, Nur Abad Mamasani is an example of such cities which suffer from the inappropriate development, exploiting the fertilized agricultural lands, asymmetrical distribution of the services, absence of facilities and services in the city. This study aims at organizing, balancing and improving the quality of the civil life in the cities.In this research, the problems and the application deficits have been discussed both quantitatively and qualitatively, using descriptive, analytical and survey method; furthermore, the social, economical, natural situations of the city have been considered and analyzed using the GIS. The findings indicate that with regard to the inappropriate situation of the city application, solutions and methods such as the government's paying attention to the rural areas to prevent immigration to cities, determining the city development zone to prevent destroying the fertilized agricultural lands, modifying rural contexts which are included in the city servicing zone to facilitate easy transportation, transferring equipments such as cemetery, slaughterhouse from the inside of the city to the outside, transferring the inappropriate applications to the outside of the city are all appropriate approaches toward balancing the service contribution and preventing the widespread growth of the city.
