Abstract :
Background and purpose: Environmental planning becomes necessary because of excessive human economic activities, population increase, and when a large group of people exploit nature and impose restrictions for conserving nature and living resources. Shahriar County is one of the largest immigrant-receiver region around Tehran City because of proximity to Tehran as well as presence of numerous workshops and factories in this County. This largescale immigration has led to inharmonious county development and degradation of agricultural lands. This study was conducted for environmental planning for physical-spatial development of Shahriar County in order to regulate human organization, location, activity and rational and optimal utilization of resource facilities as well as environmental protection.
Methodology: In this study, environmental planning and evaluating of land cover change were carried out during a period of 13 years for Shahriar County by applying of process planning method and use of GIS and satellite images. This process was carried out in three phases including recognition of the County, analysis of mutual relationship between natural and human components, and combination phase including drawing perspective, operational objectives and proposing development solutions.
Findings: Some solutions were proposed such as protecting gardens and farms, development of urban, regional and local centers in accordance with communication network for each natural, socio-economic, and man-made environment in Shahriar County. Also, physical-spatial development plans and programs were proposed for developing the County in form of map.
Discussion and Conclusion: Planning process method was an effective and efficient method for coordinated development by proposing solutions for the development of physical-spatial plans and programs. Furthermore, remote sensing and GIS tools led to increased accuracy in results and maps in different phases of the research. This study can be applied as a model for proposing solutions for developing the spatial planning as well as urban and rural planning.
