Urban management and conflict caused accession the rurals to urban areas (Case study: Islamshahr and Shatereh)

The effects of rapid urbanization on the structure of space and population in the past half a century have been observed. The ever growing number of cities and the alteration of village centers into scattered urban areas. This alternative has turned over the balance of space distribution of the population, which has caused massive social harm.Accessions of rural areas to urban areas have causedcountless urban management problems, considering when it comes to social, economic and cultural elements, there are no compatibility between these populated areas. Lack of unified rules and regulations in urban and rural areas causes fundamental disagreement in managing these areas, which in turn will be the cause of all the difficulties.Existences of these types of difficulties aregroundsfor all sorts of problems which affect the performance of those who are involved in urban management and affect their duties. Better services could be provided to the current and old citizens with accurate planning towards reducing these problems. Currently the process of preparation and passing “the design of urban district of Tehran province plan” and the phenomena of accession of rural areas to the urban areas are affecting the cities of this province.The expansion of urban space and its alteration into unified social and cultural population centers, have added to the problems in the surrounding areas. Social and residential areas, unsuitable job structures, social failure and economic poverty have caused urban damages, as well as spread of crime and unsecure living environment. Accession of urban areas and rural spaces have caused social, economic, cultural and managerial damages in both urban and rural areas, which needs additional consideration to reform these problems. Therefore recognizing social, political and economic structures which have very important roles in creating these situations in addition to presenting a solution for removing these inequalities in spatial and social areas are very vital.IslamShahr is one of the most important cities of Tehran province in Iran. This paper studies the process of preparation and approvalplan of strategic and structural accession of urban area of IslamShahr- RobatKarim. Rural area of Shatereh village was joined separately to IslamShahr city, its population which was a rural community until recently, has been altered into a city population with their social, economic and cultural differences, not to mention their different performances when it comes to administrative and physical factors.This project has tried to review the problems which were caused by these phenomena, along with offering solutions to urban management in order to solve these problems and complications.Connecting the rural areas to the urban areas, recently the process of preparation and passing “the design of urban district of Tehran province plan” is noticeably affecting different cities of the province such as accession of Shatereh village to IslamShahr city, which according to the comprehensive plan was passed. Therefore inthis article; the study of accession of Shatereh village to Islam Shahr city we try to examine the effects of unequal management between rural and urban areas. Also this paper tries to determine the role of urban management in the process of solving the problems produced by accession of rural areas to urban areas. This is a descriptive - analytical study, the data presented here are collected from different references; observations, questionnaire and statistical analysis of research hypothesis. The statistical analysis of the data was done by using the Eta Index and T-test for independent groups and SPSS software. Islamshahr, one of the biggest cities of Tehran province is the case study.This study uses analytic and descriptive methods with the help of vast documented studies and field studies such as 220 questionnaires from residing families of Shatereh village and Islam Shahr city, also 30 questionnaires from skilled experts of related organizations of Tehran city. In order to test the hypothesis, this study uses two separate sample population from both the city and the village. The Cochran with a confidence level of 95% and a precision of 0.1 and variance of 0.25 is used to determine the sample volume.

Eta average has been used in order to test the intensity of the difference between the factors in the city and the village. The current study shows that although there are no significant differences in social and managerial element between Islamshahr and Shatarevillage, there is a significant difference in culture, economic and structural element between them. These differences are effective in creating problems in the villages and the cities.Lack of equal management in urban and rural areas have also caused problems. Management based on regulations plays an important role in order to solve the problems caused by accession of villages to urban areas. Therefore this paper suggests a change of view; also an equal outlook is required in creating new regulations and delivering services in cities and villages. The case by case investigation of the probable conflicts caused by accessionof each village to the city area is required. Special designs of urban management in the cities with connected rural areas with the outlook of creating an urban management based on rules and regulations.As well as special designs of urban management in the cities with connected rural areas with the outlook of creating an urban management based on rules and regulations is necessary in order to have a systematic observation of urban management and a management based on rules specially designed to control the urban management.
