Connection between urban & rural area have been widely recognized as the maincause of economical, social and cultural changes. In spite of that, most of thedevelopment theories and practical procedures have emphasized the separates anddifferences between population and activities of rural and urban areas. While ruraldevelopment planners recognize rural areas separated from urban centers and asincluding only village and agricultural fields, urban planners tend to consider urbanissues more and do not pay much attention to rural agricultural and development. Inregional survey of third world / developing countries, different kinds of mutualrelation between city & village are studied , and jran which had a homogenous urbannet work in the past and whose cities and villages had balanced relation, is on of thesecountries but, the influence and dominance of global capitalism and the division oflobos in jran , disturbed this balance and caused an increase in the oil revenues of jranfrom 30s on , which inundated cities and urban areas with facilities and also the correcticons and adjustment in the fields, worsened the condition of rural areas and added totheir agricultural problems.

Rasht city, as the only metropolis in Gilan province, has experienced unique conditions compared to its surrounding cities since the beginning of its formation, and has had an increasing tendency towards centralization. The formation of a one-way relationship and the direction of most of the vital and functional flows of the cities of the province towards the city of Rasht has caused isolation and immobility for other residential areas of the province, which seems to increase the scope of the city's activities. Rasht will expand further.

Among the criteria of regional planning to determine inequalities is determining the status of regions according to development indicators. In the literature and development policy, it is generally believed that the growth of GDP and high per capita income is the main axis of development.. The purpose of this research is the regional development policy of Makran, the current research has been done using the descriptive-analytical method and based on future research methods with a combination of documentary and survey methods. In this research, after studying the upstream documents, two-stage Delphi method was used to identify the key variables affecting the sustainable development of Makran region, and the analyzed data includes 36 variables in the form of 8 areas as primary variables affecting sustainable development. The findings show that the ideal institutional model for the development of Makran will be to go through sectoral approaches and move gradually in the direction of institutional capacity building. Non-institutional models based on the theory of neo-regionalism play high capacities for the institutional capacity building of Makran. As a result, in regional governance, Makran Development Organization should play the role of leadership and policy-making in the credit of the political support of the central government.

In recent decades many developing countries are facing unbalanced settlement system and regional inequalities due to the concentration of population, activities and services in large cities. In the other words, the unbalanced distribution of activities and services in the country causes extensive migrations to large cities and this gradually creates many problems in the settlement system. Therefore, in order to decentralize the big cities and achieve regional balance and development, the attention of urban and regional planners to small towns has been focused. Inequality and imbalance in the optimal distribution of services and facilities in the Bushehr province, which is one of the southern provinces of the country, has caused the unbalanced distribution of population in the province and the collapse of the settlement system. In this regard, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the function of the town of Khormoj as a small town in the regional balance and development of Bushehr province. For this purpose, Network Analysis method has been used which is one of the effective methods for determining the relationships and functional flows between the settlements of a region. In the paper, the methodology based on the objective is applied and based on the nature of the research is descriptive- analytical method. Also, the information is compiled through library studies and documents review. The results of the research show that the town of Khormoj can play a significant role in regional development and be selected as an appropriate destination for occupation and residence.

Abstract Realization of national development and resistance economy requires an understanding of the existing economic possibilities and capabilities of country’s different regions. The issue is that has less attention to that subject in national development planning. In most cases, the national macro indicators are considered for regional policy makings. This paper’s main purpose is the classification of the provinces based on regional economic development indicators. First, statistical data of 72 indicators have been extracted from recent censuses, national and regional accounts and official statistics from the Statistical Center of Iran statistics books. Then, using the TOPSIS method and coefficient of variation or C.V. Index, distribution of indicators were analyzed and provinces are ranked. The results show that Tehran Province with a final score of 0/67 ranked as first, and Chaharmahalo Bakhtiaari province with a final score of 0/18 ranked in last at province ranking, so there is a significant difference in the mean ranking (is equal to 0.5), between different provinces of the country. As a result, in the current situation, based on macroeconomic indexes of regional development there are quite different between regions in means of economic indicators and is required for proper economic policy making and spatial planning in accordance with the national and regional economic capabilities in the country. Finally, the recommendations based on the findings of the study such as implementation of spatial planning have been presented. Key words: national and regional accounts, economy, regional development, rankings, provinces, Iran. Manuscript profile

Although more than 6 decades have passed since the life of regional planning in Iran, the heavy shadow of gaps and spatial imbalances still weighs heavily on regions. Accepting the fact that regional diversity in the development process is inevitable and necessary for the development and progress of a country, we can say that the role of regional planning has forced us to adapt to scientific changes in this field. The genealogy of the development process in Iran shows that the approach of capital accumulation and imposition of specific roles to regions has been done mainly without any cost-benefit analysis and only based on the approach of the pole of growth and concentration of capital in a historical process. This article tries to examine this important issue. Therefore, to understand such a situation, to analyze the economic conditions of the regions; In the form of development indicators such as: population and manpower (urban-rural), employment and unemployment, social participation, the three sectors of the economy, GDP, etc. have been studied using the TOPSIS technique. The results of the research indicate that the Iranian Space Organization has become multilevel and the provinces that are the centers of development have cut their downstream areas in terms of development indicators and by focus of section on attracting capital, Population and industry have caused spatial imbalances inside and outside the region.

Iran as one of the developing countries, despite having variety and natural environmental potentialities in the scope of its territory, has many inequalities among its provinces. In previous years, different developmental actions have been taken to remove the inequalities, but due to factors like selecting inappropriate development designs, etc. the inequality among provinces is still clear and palpable. This fact can cause difficulties in the course of time. The primary concern of this article is to study the development inequalities among provinces in Iran and calculate its intensity during two time spans in 1375 and 1385. The research was carried out by using 25 development inequality indicators through interactive analysis technique. The gathered data were analyzed by the use of interactive analysis technique. Also, GIS 9.3 software has been applied to explain spatial regional inequalities. The acquired results indicated that the existence of development inequities and also an intense split among provinces during the intended studied years, in a way that developed provinces have been located in center of the country and non-developed ones are in its frontiers.

Rasht county, has been experiencing unique circumstances compared to its surrounding cities and have had a growing tendency to centralization, since the beginning of its formation. Formation of one-sided relationship and orientation of most of the vital and functional movements of the cities of the province toward the city of Rasht have led to seclusion and inactivity in other settlement points of the province. It seems that with the expansion of activities in the city of Rasht, this problem will be expanded. This study investigates the fields of centralization in the city of Rasht in three areas: administrative-political centralization, economic-service centralization, and centralization of the population. During explaining the most important symbols and instances of centralizations in mentioned areas, to reduce the centralization in the city of Rasht, orient the movements to the other points and consequently balance the movements and interactions, we use the new model Regional Development Strategy (RDS). Regional development strategy with its strategic, community-based and flexible thinking is very effective in the establishment of regional balance since this model attempts to exploit the capabilities, capacities, actions and cooperation of all the regions and organize them as well as possible.

The main objective of this paper is to assess the extent of implementation of the proposals for the Saveh region (prepared in 1996), based on the documents in the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development in relation to the design of Saveh, the design of the central province and the results of the census and information of Iran's Statistics Organization. Thus, in this research, using the evaluation approach and using a multivariate assessment and AHP hierarchical analysis tool and a dipole distance, we have evaluated the extent of realization of the proposed components of the Saveh Regional Design. Based on the research model, three socio-demographic, economic, and spatial components were identified as the main criteria for assessing the feasibility of the selection plan and evaluation indicators based on these three components. The evaluation of the implementation rate suggests that among the components mentioned above, the spatial, economic, and socio-demographic areas have a greater effect on the implementation of the proposals of the Saveh Regional Plan; in relation to socio-demographic components based on the recommendations of the Saveh Regional Design The "urban population" indicator, in relation to economic indicators, "service providers", and in relation to physical-spatial indicators, such as "urban centres", "rural centres", "quadruple paths", "higher education", "Health home","Hospital","Agricultural zone "and" Industrial Zone "have the best status. In general, it can be said that, despite the fact that a few years have passed from the horizon of the Saveh landscape, the proposals of the project have been achieved to the desired extent.   Manuscript profile

Small cities, by accepting some of their capital and production factors, can be a factor in attracting the population and ultimately helping to stabilize their region to reduce the urban dilemma that roots in the countryside. In order to achieve a balanced and equitable distribution of population, capital, facilities, facilities as well as economic activities at the national and regional levels of small towns, especially cities where their location in the settlement network acts as an intermediary between urban and rural centers, attention is drawn to it placed. In fact, the aim of the research is to investigate the role of small towns in regional development. The approach used in this research is descriptive-analytic. Librarian methods, statistics and statistics, and detailed census results have been used to collect the required statistics and information. Spss and Excel software have been used to analyze the changes in the population of cities, urban and rural areas. To determine the population changes over the years. Then developments in the urban network and its hierarchical system have been investigated during the three census periods. In this study, related methods and models such as rank size, pull coefficient, georgeshavro and bourgeois model, centrality index, urban primary index were used. The results of the above model showed that Dehgolan city has a basic economy in agriculture and industry with 1.67 and 1.17 respectively, and in non-economic services sector.

Assessing the level of development of communities has been a concern for regional planners in all countries. The use of quantitative criteria for the classification of settlements leads to understanding the level of inequality between residential areas and provides a measure to reduce and eliminate these inequalities. To address regional imbalances, regions need to be identified and classified based on their level of development in different areas. The aim of this research is to identify disadvantaged areas and plan for reducing intra-regional disparities to achieve balanced development. In this study, 12 indices have been selected within the framework of numerical taxonomy analysis to assess the level of development and classify the counties of Bushehr Province.

Equitable distribution of health facilities is one of the main prerequisites to increase the level of community services and health care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and rank degree of development of Zagros Mountains regions in health - treatment index by care planning model (VIKOR, TOPSIS and taxonomy correction). The results of these three models provide integrated model based on the integration techniques. Required data and information which includes 35 variables, refer to the relevant organizations (health, etc.) and the site data has been collected (about 90 years). Research method is descriptive - analytical and used Excel and SPSS statistical software for analyzing data and ArcGIS for better spatial analysis of development through provinces. The results show that there is a vast gap of benefitting of health - treatment index between the provinces, because only Hamadan and Kurdistan provinces are benefiting from it and the provinces of Kermanshah, Ilam and Lorestan are at a low level. Finally, changing speed equation showed that right-modification taxonomy model is more proper way than other models (VIKOR and TOPSIS) to assess the status of development areas because the results of the model has less degree and intensity of change.

Increasing growth of population, need for agricultural and animal products, increasing need for water supply in the industry sector, mean while, and the limitation of water resources, on the other hand, bears server problems for the development of province. On the other hand, inadaptability of potentials and capacities and the restriction of water resources as well as the exploitation procedure have increased the development challenges of the province due to inappropriate settlement of the population and activities. Severe shortage of water resources resulted from unauthorized and excessive exploitations, population growth, and increase of demand in different sectors have made the role of this vital material in regional development more sidnificant. Therefore, establishing a balance in rate of water consumption and revived water in the region in tandem with the land use (land preparation) policies is one of the most important measures which are necessary to be taken in the later phases of optimal exploitation of water resources (increase of the irrigation yield). In other words, paying no attention to the present situation of explotiting water resources, removing exisiting bottlenecks, not applying land preparation policies in settlement of population and activities, will confront the region with essential challenges Manuscript profile

Abstract Regional planning approaches include the actions which aim to eliminate the economical, social differences between the regions. In Turkey, there are serious developmental differences in terms of population, income level, economical and social activities between the regions. To eliminate these differences, the regional planning policies and development plans are made. The main goals are to eliminate the regions, to satisfy the efficient use of the resources and to control the population movements. In the European Union, even though all member states apply their own national regional policies, there is a common regional policy to provide the economical and social development and to remove the regional instabilities. To realize these policies, the European Union benefits from certain instruments like financial aids and structural funds. Turkey, in the accession period has a responsibility of implementing regional policies. The accession partnership documents and progress reports prepared by the Union and national program and preliminary national development plan prepared by Turkey are very important in terms of showing the priorities of the Union and the responsibilities of Turkey. This paper attempts to analyze Turkish regional development policies in adaptive process with the European Union.     Manuscript profile
