Abstract

< p >Simultaneously with the development of urbanization in Iran and in order to regulate the physical structure of cities, as well as sustainable urban development that required the optimization of urban land use, comprehensive plans from 1345, the roadmap for urban development. Aran and Bidgol are among the cities that have had organic growth until the Pahlavi period and especially before the land reforms of the 1940s, along with an intensive growth pattern. But in the last quarter of a century, the model of inorganic growth has had a very rapid physical growth and physical pattern. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors affecting the transfer of urban land as well as the role and actions of the government in the field of land transfer. This research seeks to answer the questions that have been effective in the development of the city of Aran and Bidgol and also the physical reflections of the choice of land for transfer in the city of Aran and Bidgol. The present study is an applied research and its method is descriptive-analytical, and by examining the approved plans of Aran and Bidgol in several periods, it is concluded that in a relatively long period of implementation of urban plans, large areas of agricultural and barren lands are interconnected. They are located within the city limits and due to the lack of efficient land planning and management, they have been separated illegally and exposed to the stock market. The regional assessment index related to the expansion of the city shows that a large percentage of the current realized area of Aran and Bidgol is now false and does not need any increase in area for future periods

Highlights

During the last four decades, a comprehensive and detailed plan, two comprehensive plans and a detailed plan have been prepared for the city of Aranubidgol. About four decades have passed since the preparation of the first urban development plan for this city, on the one hand, it provides a good ground for evaluating each one and orienting them in the face of the shortcomings and difficulties of the city, and on the other hand, it can provide a perspective on the city. Therefore, the need to study the relevant urban development documents and review the implementation of these plans, despite not being seen in the description of the services of these studies, is strongly felt.

The point to consider is the lack of attention to development restrictions on arable land in Aran and Bidgol, because the major area of arable land around the city was located at the northwestern and southern extremities of the area. These lands faced the problem of water supply in order to continue and develop agricultural activities, and with the same reasoning, they were allocated to the physical development of the city, and this method of physical development of the city caused irreparable damage to the urban green belt. This analysis is consistent with the results of Meshkini et al. 1390. According to the above issues in the review and evaluation of master plans, it can be said that in addition to the shortcomings and problems arising from the goals and demands of the plan, the shortcomings and problems arising from the content of master plans are important. In addition to management problems, inadequacies and problems related to manpower and executive organization, environmental and environmental problems of the project in relation to the urban policies of the project, lack of coordination and sufficient communication between the executive organs of the project and financial constraints to implement the project, These are things that are important. This finding confirms the results of the survival research (1386). But another issue and the subject of our discussion here is the lack of coordination between the forecasts of experts and approved urban plans with the cases implemented by managers at the city level, including Aran and Bidgol, which despite the high costs and energy expenditure and work. Getting manpower, etc. But in practice, these plans have suffered from a lack of kindness, and by neglecting and ignoring the necessities and suggestions of the plans, they are pushed aside. Considering the above, it can be seen to what extent Master plans have been abstract and have added to the problems of the urban system of the country's cities.
