Abstract :

Background and Objective: In response to the scattered expansion of cities, the theory of smart growth is based on the principles of sustainable development; one of the best examples is TOD. As long as Urban baseddevelopment and planning are developed and implemented, many problems will arise in cities and it will not be possible to achieve smart growth and TOD. The main purpose of this study is to present strategies for the development of Bastam city based on smart urban growth with an emphasis on TOD approach.Material and Methodology: The method of descriptive analytical research and data collection was done by a documentary, questionnaire, and interview. To analyze the data, first, the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were examined according to the SWOT method, based on the opinions of citizens and experts for the study area, then suggestions were presentedin the form of strategies, and strategies were prioritized using QSPM techniqueFindings: The results of the analysis of internal and external matrices showed that in the current situation, the city of Bastam is facing many weaknesses and is weak in terms of internal factors, also the threats are more effective and therefore focus of the proposed Strategies should be minimizing the consequences of adverse threats.Discussion and Conclusion: The results of the evaluation of strategies indicate that the first step towards achieving smart urban growth with an emphasis on TOD, from thecitizens opinion was the strategy of providing the necessary facilities on sidewalks and design according to the climate and weather conditions with 5/96 points and from the specialists opinion, the strategy of urban affairs officialsattention towards limiting the riding axes and expanding the pedestrian paths with 6/07 points are the first development priority.
