This research seeks to answer the questions that have been effective in the development of the city of Aran and Bidgol and also the physical reflections of the choice of land for transfer in the city of Aran and Bidgol. The present study is an applied research and its method is descriptive-analytical, and by examining the approved plans of Aran and Bidgol in several periods, it is concluded that in a relatively long period of implementation of urban plans, large areas of agricultural and barren lands are interconnected. They are located within the city limits and due to the lack of efficient land planning and management, they have been separated illegally and exposed to the stock market. The regional assessment index related to the expansion of the city shows that a large percentage of the current realized area of Aran and Bidgol is now false and does not need any increase in area for future periods
