“…this points to a doubling of the rural population over the period. Over the 40 years since 1960, population increased by 42 million (population and urbanization data from Bharier, 1972;Dehesh, 1994;Ehlers and Floor, 1993;Fanni, 2006; United Nations in the Islamic Republic of Iran, 1999;Statistical Centre of Iran, 2008;Ziari, 2006). The urban population has more than trebled over the last 50 years, leading to a sharp increase in urban water consumption.…”

“…This is even more necessary in developing countries such as Iran, where infrastructure establishment and development have to be supervised more closely and dynamically due to rapid urban expansion; respective governmental organizations ought to consider the consequences of urban planning strategies before putting them into practice (Madanipour , Ziari , Zamani and Arefi ). Despite urban growth models being developed (e.g.…”

Many methods for modeling urban expansion are available. Most of these computational models demand a variety of large‐scale environmental and socio‐economic data to investigate the relationship between urban expansion and its driving forces. These requirements are not always fulfilled, particularly in developing countries due to a lack of data availability. This necessitates methods not suffering from data limitations to ease their application. Consequently, this research presents a morphological approach for predicting urban expansion on the basis of spatiotemporal dynamics of urban margins by investigating the interior metropolitan area of Tehran, Iran as a case study. To assess the model's performance, urban expansion is monitored from 1976 to 2012. The proposed model is evaluated to ensure that the prediction performance for the year 2012 is acceptable. For the year 2024, the model predicts Tehran's urban expansion at an overall R2 of 88%. Accordingly, it is concluded that: (1) although this approach only inputs urban margins, it represents a suitable and easy‐to‐use urban expansion model; and (2) urban planners are faced with continuing urban expansion.

“…In this field, paying attention to regional inequities in the form of indices is considered as the most important tools of planning that through this, planners will be able to edit and evaluate the procedures and results of their planning in the frame and structure of geographical space. If this procedure receives the attention of planners logically and scientifically, it can show the different aspects of planning clearly in different parts and bring up the planning regions in hierarchical procedure and in the framework of compatible units [7]. Basically, the regional inequities are caused by two basic fields:…”

Abstract-The reduction in regional differences to stop the movement and displacement of human forces and capital in the direction of preparing the ground for development is very effective. Development means boosting human potentials for the improved utilization of his environment. Rational utilization depends on economical, social and cultural particulars. Therefore any kind of condition that is effective in the improvement of region' capabilities will lead to the preparation of the ground for regional development. Immigration, poverty, low production and efficiency, joblessness and … in areas of the region is the result of inefficient performance of economical, social and cultural foundations, agricultural depression, disorganized growth of population and discriminatory policies and the low level of enjoying fundamental facilities and productions. Therefore, the study of economical and social indicators and the determination of the areas benefit are very urgent in the direction of finalizing development guidelines. The present study has been performed with the aim of recognizing development condition of areas in the province and recognizing the challenges and direction of areas development. The result s of the study indicates that there is an inharmonious development in areas and deprivation of regions bordering the northern part of the province and the border lines.
