Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of urban sprawl on development of integrated villages from the perspective of the local community. This research from the perspective of purpose is applied, descriptive - analytic method and for data collection and information is used the library and field studies. Local domain of research is the 16 integrated villages in the skeletal contexture of Urmia city in the years 1335 to 1395. According to statistics of the Statistics Center of Iran in 1390 in total are 27 940 people and 6804 households that based on the Cochran formula were selected number of 151 households as statistical population. Questionnaire reliability was calculated 0.789 using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and to data analyze were used of descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and variance) and inferential statistics (structural equation, Friedman and regression). The results showed that the proposed model for research in structural equation has the optimal level in compliance with the experimental data and indicators have suitable goodness of fit. Also one of the most important effects of urban creep in Urmia was the land price increases on the periphery of city, if the meter of land has increased to 2100000 toman during recent years. Also sprawl of Orumiyeh city has the most positive impact on the skeletal dimension with the beta value 0.926.
