Abstract
In a systematic and comprehensive approach, the two categories of village and city should not only be analyzed as a whole (integrally), but the development of either one depends on the development of the other. As long as rural management system is not aligned with urban management system, and until the necessary social, economic and physical preconditions are not prepared by coherent rural management at the rural settlement level, it will be only too optimistic if we suppose that by converting village into city the broad rural problems will be solved. The present paper seeks to provide with a basic introduction of the effects of the transformation of village into a based on the 1986-1996 census of the Iranian settlement system in order to introduce optimum conditions and criteria for a relative success of this policy at the national level.
