Abstract :
Background and Objective: The physical growth and development of the city are affected by various factors, including social, economic, natural, political, cultural, and environmental factors, all of which have a significant impact on the process, speed, direction, and direction of urban development. Therefore, one of the important factors influencing the success rate of city planners and officials is the awareness of the spatial form and the rate of expansion and development of cities. In the absence of proper control and planning of the physical growth and expansion of the city, a phenomenon called urban spiral or irregular horizontal distribution occurs. In the last two decades, development based on public transportation (Transit Oriented Development) has attracted a great deal of attention as a strategy for dispersal of surface dispersion, and as long as urban-based development and plans are developed and implemented according to car movement, many problems and issues will be created in cities and it will not be possible to achieve Transit Oriented Development. The Transit Oriented Development model was proposed by Peter Caltrop, whose philosophy is to facilitate spatial communication and thus achieve high social solidarity. The main purpose of this study is to present strategies for the development of Bastam city with an emphasis on the TOD approach. In the present study, to achieve the creation of a Transit-oriented development model in Bastam city due to having landmarks and focus of uses in the city center, this model has been used to create a humane environment and increase sustainability and reduce environmental challenges in Bastam city.Methods: The method of descriptive-analytical research and data collection was done by the documentary, questionnaire, and interview. To create the mentioned features, in the data collection section, using the library and field methods, the theoretical foundations of the research have been examined. In the data analysis section, using AHP technique with the help of Expert Choice software, the factors that can be used in the development of public transportation in Bastam city have been leveled based on the opinions of experts.
