Abstract :
Land use planning program has always been the most important factor in urban planning, because it determines land use and spatial structure of cities, on the one hand, and on the other hand it also determines the economic value of each piece of land. Therefore, different perspectives are presented on ways of using this important resource that are important regardless of quality of life issues, while the quantity, per capita and access are considered. In the recent decades changes have happened to the urban planning. Consequently, land use planning has been neglected and attention to land quality issues were rare. There have been times when solutions have been offered for improving it, however, inefficient and inadequate. In this regard, approaches to sustainable development with emphasis on efficient use of land has provided a new approach in urban planning and has been followed by the most important element of it - Land use planning. In this paper it has been tried to choose most important indicators that are effective on urban land use; also this indicators were adapted on sustainable devel0opment then they were used for evaluation of urban sustainability of urban land use. Since the protection of monuments and their privacy were of the most important elements of sustainable development, indicators were chosen with emphasis on protection of monuments and privacy compliance date . Further we were trying to combined these indicators with other indicators of urban sustainable development. For this purpose order maps showing space density were used to determine Kernel density estimation (KDE) and for combination of layers and providing the final map on AHP model. The results show that districts located in the eastern half – New city districts- have more stability than the districts located in thewestern half in city of Susa.
