Abstract

Currently, developing countries challenge many problems: increase in population rate, migration to cities and urbanization growth rate caused increase in population density of cities. Natural consequences of such process are lack of proper land for settlement and pressure on limited environmental resources. Accordingly, inappropriate and unplanned land-use and changes disregarding environmental capacities caused elimination of environmental balance and challenged urban sustainable development; so that, urban environmental sustainability became the most important concern of urban managers and planners. The current study aims to evaluate existing land-uses by geographical information system and analyzing land-use maps of the district 22, Tehran. Obtained results can show inconsistency of existing land-uses with primary principles of land-use planning and environmental inability and urban infrastructures in response to population needs.
