Analysis of the Spatial Distribution Management Functions of Urban Green Space and Social Returns - Development in Izeh City

Nowadays by increasing development of urban areas and urbanization, each city will be faced by numerous problems such as population increasing, physical expansion and environmental pollution. As a matter of fact, the green space development in cities can play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance and adjustment of urban air pollution. Izeh city, as the case study, has the apparent scarcity of urban green space. So based on the data collected, by population about 113,456 people and 2/5 family persons in 1388, the total average per capita green area of this city is 3/30 square meters (including: public green space, privacy and protection). On the other hand, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed 12 meters per capita is necessary. Consequently, its spatial distribution is very unbalanced and disproportionate. By considering that 96 percent of green spaces of Izeh are allocated in Zone1 and Zone2 of the City, only 4 percent of the urban green space is covered and enjoy green space areas within each of the urban areas is very disproportionate. This analytical research shows that Izeh city has very low per capita green space and its spatial distribution in the five areas of the city are very unbalanced contrary to national and international standards and suffers from a severe lack of green space. Finally, this study, by using an appropriate model, offers the per capita green space for the Izeh city.
