Abstract :

        In Iran, urban development plans could not have a desire function and most of their goals were not achieved. This issue caused misuse from valuable land resource. Recently, land use change in agricultural land use because of its added value and weakness of regional management in controlling land market have caused great changes in agricultural land use. Because of construction of tourism-leisure complexes and some unplanned towns, this was happened vastly in case study of this research. The research tries to investigate feasibility of “Transfer of Development Rights”. This method is based on collection of ownership rights and the main idea includes separating development right of some agricultural lands, open spaces or historic and ecologic sites and then selling these rights to owners or developers in appropriate developing regions. The results of this research shows that application of this method because of its financial benefits and also preventing land use change agricultural parcels by considering proposed floor area ratio (FAR=%100) and proportion of development right to ownership right (%25 to %75) has a great positive impact on conservation of agricultural parcels in Tonekabon
