Management of Dehdasht Physical Development by Using Urban Growth Boundaries towards Sustainable Development of Surrounding Villages

The expansion of urbanization and the gradual growth of major cities in the world, especially in developing countries like Iran on the one hand, and the growth of cities, concentration and centralization of population, economic growth and environmental loadings on the other hand, despite more attention to cities, have led to the acceptance of their several roles and functions. The purpose of this study is to manage the physical development of Dehdasht and its urban growth boundaries, to prevent change in firste rate land and agricultural land use and change the direction of growth in lower degree lands towards the sustainable development of villages near to this region. The present research is descriptive- analytics. The data were collected, first, by library and documentary methods and field study, then, data analysis were done by Geographical Information System (GIS) and Google earth software’s. The results showed that the current growth of Dehdasht will result in destruction of first rate and agricultural lands, especially in north and northwest regions; this is in contradiction with sustainable development of surrounding areas and villages. So, the direction of development should be changed towards the west and southeast parts which are not very important through a logical and basic plan.
