Proposed Model for Space Geographic Engineering Strategy in Iran's Regional Planning

Regarding the serve of general policies of the sixth development plan and codifying the so-called plan in the next 5 years (2017-2021) with the experience of ten constructive programs and the development before and after the Islamic Revolution, it is necessary to emphasize the regional and intraregional sustainable development based on "Space Geographic Engineering Strategy (SGES)". That is relying on the natural and human capacity and talents, can lead into a sustainable development by the priority of the endogenous development and noticing the exogenous development in the next stage. Using SGES regarding all the aspects of sustainable development including ecologic-environmental, socio-cultural, economic, institutional-management, physical-spatial, we may observe the proper distribution of population and activities in natural, local and regional levels by achieving the development and its goals in regions. By emphasizing natural and human capabilities in different levels from natural to local, following spatial justice principles, SGES brings regional planning rather than spot planning, decentralization rather than centralization. SGES also guarantees endogenous development by making use of exogenous development as a complementary in light of sustainable development. In SGES the emphasize is on desirable and optimum use of geographical environment for the welfare of the current generation in such a way that regarding of keeping all of its aspects, the usage of it would be guaranteed for all of the future generations. In addition, complete and precise recognition of geographical environment in all its aspects ad development planning based on this recognition using qualitative and quantitative methods and models, emphasizing on the latter, is taking into consideration. Thus, the proposed model of SGES in regional planning strives for optimum geographic distribution in spatial organization of population. The activities are carried out by sustainable development approach. On the other hand, ecologic, social, cultural, economic, institutional management and physical in the national, regional, zonal and local levels for desirable future is based on sustainable development. To this end, long-term and mid-term and long-term and in different levels, should be carried out along with spatial planning to decrease and eliminate the spatial imbalance and inequality. To sum up, using SGES in spatial planning leads in to a complementary fir regional planning.
