The method of the present research is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population of the study consisted of experts living in Tabriz. The sample size includes 45 people. Descriptive statistical tests, regression in SPSS software were used to analyze the data. The results of this study showed that land use, space layout, traffic and network of roads and urban density have a positive and significant effect on air pollution.
