Geographic Capabilities in Regional Planning

Geography is a creative and constructive knowledge, and the geographer is actually the constructor of his/her environment. He / she is analyst, far-sighted, considerate of all aspects and the leader of future development. Geography, on the one hand, tends to focus on development activities, and on the other, assumes the position of assessing the socio-economic reflection of developmental activities. Geography, as a judge, while accepting the imbalance in the region as a factor in the emergence of regional exchanges and interactions, opposes the imbalance in geographical space and insists on its justice-seeking attitude in the economic-social spheres.It can be summarily said that geography plays a key role in the realization of the main goal of (comprehensive) developmental plans, that is to organize the system of human activity, by providing a systematic recognition, analysis and explanation of capabilities and constraints, land zoning, analysis of socio-economic structure of the area and study of its consequent ecological structure.
