Urban land use and spatial distribution - its location, is one of the main functions in order to optimize for using urban space. Subject land and how to use it is always the main topic of urban planning And the ultimate fate of the urban development plans and monitoring of land use determines how the intervention And has always been one of the fundamental issues of social -economic and physical form of the urban contemporary category. Core practice of urban planning, land use planning, which not only expresses the purpose of a community is about land use, but also to give guidance for urban development. Nowadays, because of development of cities and the growing imbalance in the distribution of land, urban land use regulation is of considerable importance. Urban land use and spatial distribution - place them one of the most important functions for optimal use of urban space. The main aim of this research is studing the creation and recognition of existing land use of urban land uses , including residential, commercial, medical , religious , etc. Find and compare with the standard capitation rate for each member of the lack of be specified . In this study , using descriptive - analytical and survey the land has been studied and modeled using SWOT strengths and weaknesses of each of these uses have been studied .

Geomorphology is a very good guide for urban planning. Geomorphologic maps not only propose new ideas regarding the variables of the perspective, but also indirectly facilitate evaluation of resources in an environment. The present article demonstrates the capability of satellite data in identifying main geomorphologic units in an industrial area like Korba city. Moreover, it is possible to identify the importance of the area using geomorphologic maps along with other geo-information like Lithology and geology structures. Each area is appropriate for a special kind of development and urban planning. The present article emphasizes on how a simple perspective like logical accumulation of geomorphologic and geologic information can provide valuable input for urban planning and development.

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a platform for saving, storing, managing and analyzing geographic information. It is designed to simultaneously work with geographic and descriptive data.
Nowadays, possessing timely data and exploiting necessary information are especially important. In this regard, Geographic Information System, as an important tool in managing ground related data, provide the possibility of exploiting necessary information and finding complex and hidden relationships among different phenomena. The present article investigates different applications of Geographic Information System in urban planning and urban development plans. To reach this aim, we first investigate background, evolution process, the systems’ principles and capabilities in the framework of software collections and then propose the procedure used in preparing two samples of urban development plan and explain the role of each GIS applications in the production of this plan and its function. Results indicate that with growing development of modern technologies, the application of geographic information system in urban planning has increased and satisfy urban development plan in the context of qualitative, quantitative and digital analysis. Then, some problems facing GIS application in the system of macro planning and urban planning in Iran are mentioned.

Until now, a major application of scientific methods has been to estimate and predict the values of a variable by referring to the values of one or more other variables associated with it. In this paper, we examine the most common type of "correlation", or estimation based on structural relationships between variables, which leads to the creation of a simple linear model. The use of linear models in a variety of urban analyses is quite commonly accepted due to the relative simplicity and accuracy of these models. Linear models usually show tendencies over time, which may not be taken into account through abstract or chart-based analyses. Linear models are used to express events when non-scientific methods are incomplete and unsatisfactory (and predict the appearance and time of the events).

The lack of active participation of the police in the urban planning process is one of the problems that the country's police now face, and this itself leads to a series of problems, including inappropriate location of police stations and offices, regardless of the three basic factors of geography, population and crimes. This problem is rooted in the attitude of the top managers of the Naja (Iran’s police force) and the country, while the city is the most important venue for police missions. The purpose of this article is to study the causes of the emergence of this problem, and further provide and mention grounds for police involvement in urban planning, so that a suitable solution can be devised to end this situation.

Urban planning research, like most behavioral sciences and human research, should be supported by a proper theoretical framework or conceptual model. In this theoretical framework and conceptual model, the variables and factors affecting the subject matter are identified and their relationships are determined. To assess the validity and correctness of these models, there are different qualitative and quantitative techniques and tools. Structural equation modeling is one of these quantitative and multivariate tools that examines and evaluates the fitting of the model and allows for some modifications in the model. In this paper, along with introducing the technique of modeling structural equations and Lisrel software, its application in urban planning research is described.

Geography, as a cross-disciplinary science, has greatly benefited from the social and philosophical sciences during its evolution. Functionalism is one of the influential ideas in geography and especially in urban planning as one of the subcategories of this science. In this study, considering functionalism as an essential activity for social life, we have dealt with the key elements of this theory that helped to the life and survival of city. After studying the history and concepts of this theory and its relation with geography based on evidence and secondary documents, we have examined the position of this theory in the urban system and urban planning. What can be said as the result is as follows: The validity of this theory in geography has been most accepted during the period 1920-1960 as the peak and flourishing period of its application after the formation of the Charter of Athens and the prevalence of comprehensive planning. The period from 1960s onwards has been the period of decline and inefficiency of the theory due to the prevalence of a systematic approach and the strategic structural patterns.

Since the nineteenth century, suburbs were chosen for the living of the rich and middle-class families due to the inadequacies and pollution of the old part of the cities; the development of transportation technology has led urban families to prefer living in the countryside and away from the central part of the city. Access to the countryside is becoming ever easier with the help of vehicles that travel faster day by day. Currently, suburban residence is the predominant way of life in the United States. But with all this, the suburban settlement has many disadvantages, as this way of life has become outdated from the point of view of urban planners and other thinkers, and they have been thinking about other patterns for the settlement of population surpluses in cities, one of the most important of which is that of creating New Cities, proposed by Ebenezer Howard. Although the creation of new cities has a long history in human annals, in the new centuries the suburban area is prior to new cities, in a way that the problems of cities and suburban residents caused by suburbanization encouraged planners to the creation of new cities.

Basically, the establishment and emergence of a city is more than anything subject to environmental conditions and geographic location, since natural features and phenomena have a decisive influence on location, dispersion, penetration area, physical development, urban morphology and the like, and sometimes act as a positive and temporal factor, and in some cases as a negative and deterrent one (Rev. 1382, p. 133). In recent decades, the city of Karaj has gone through a great deal of physical development due to the increase in population, and the increasing expansion of urban space without regard to geomorphologic processes has caused problems that are studied. In this research, the attempt will be made to analyze briefly the geomorphic phenomena and processes affecting the locating process in the city of Karaj, and to remind the urban planners of the consequences of failure to pay them due attention.

It has been proved today that efficient urban management is not practical without utilizing up-to-date information on land uses and trends of their changes, the type and extent of activities, physical growth of the city, and so on. Hence a need for various information equipment in this regard has been developed, and the amount of up-to-date information has increased in organizations associated with urban affairs. The Global Positioning System (GPS), as one of the most important and reliable positioning technologies and the Geographic Information System (GIS) as a reference system of reception and optimal management of positional information, plays an important role in position-based analyses. The combination of these two systems provides new and comprehensive capabilities in position-based management.

The rapid growth of urbanization and the growth of metropolitan cities in developing countries, the movement of today's and tomorrow's economy towards urban characteristics, the imposition of environmental and geographical conditions on societies, and the alignment of the world toward a unified system has led the necessity of a multifaceted science called urban management be increasingly felt. Lightning and thunderbolts are two very interesting phenomena in the face of which human beings have long been doomed, and it has not been long since they have been able, by relying on the science of electrical conduction, to save their lives and their structures from unpredictable invasions of thunderbolt. In this research, which is conducted by the secondary method, information from different sources and books is collected and classified using note-taking method. The findings of this research show that the broad dimensions of casualties and losses caused by thunderbolt necessitates extensive research in the field of optimization and immunization of cities. In this regard, in urban development plans, reducing the vulnerability of citizens and society to lightning phenomena is necessary. Therefore, for sustainable development, cities must work towards sustainability. It is according to this view that cities and citizens should be trained in ways, including crisis drills, to enhance their readiness in order to be able to deal with natural disasters (thunderbolt), and so be able to survive and grow.

Geographic information systems and related computer information technologies are commonly used in planning and management in the present era. An important part of the theoretical and methodological support of GIS is rooted in the "quantitative and qualitative" revolution of geography. It is not surprising, then, that GIS is often accused of being inherently dependent on "rationalism" and "positivism," so it is not beneficial to use it in planning approaches broader than the merely rational model. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of GIS on urban and regional planning and it was attempted to examine the following: development of geographic database for analyses related to planning, alignment of ground-spatial technologies with urban models, building planning support systems, facilitating discourse and participation in the planning process, and evaluating planning activities and the impact of technology on them. While scientific advancements in the development of planning support tools have been significant, there has been no considerable effort to provide scientific guidance on strategic information management, establish the information support and decision-making tools, and transfer technology to the planning stage. This shortcoming in the dissemination of planning tools limits the application of science in decision and policy making, a process that is essential for the development of countries aiming at strong economy and healthy communities and environment. This research attempts to study the effects of GIS on urban and regional planning.

The suitability of physical framework to achieve equal opportunities for all individuals and sectors of the population in order to move around the city and have access to all urban spaces is one of the essential elements of a community’s growth and development. It is now fifteen years since the first set of rules and regulations for urban development and architecture concerning disabled people were prepared in Iran, but the current status of passages indicates the failure of these regulations in practice. The number of disabled people is increasing day by day due to the problems and obstacles in the city and the increase in accidents and other incidents in the country. But unfortunately, proper and adequate measures have not been taken to suit the urban environment, including passages that are among the most important urban areas for disabled people. The purpose of this study is to examine the passages of Isfahan city using regulations and criteria collected from different sources in order to improve the well-being of the disabled people in Isfahan city. In order to achieve this goal, using a secondary method as well as a combination of analytical methods, field surveys, questionnaires and interviews with the disabled and the visually impaired, the 78 main and secondary passages of Isfahan city have been examined and the results have been presented through tables, charts and maps. At the end, suggestions have been made to remove existing obstacles and problems and to organize the status of the passages.
