Abstract

The urban-rural interface-or the intermingling of the urban, rural and natural environments-along with the sprawl of human settlements-is a continuum which usually forms as a result of urban formation and urbanisation processes upon rural and natural environments. Mutual impact of urban and rural areas and also natural environments not only results in the creation of problems but also presents opportunities, as these areas offer more varied socio-economic opportunities than the rural systems. An important manifestation of this urban-rural interface (URI) is the SPATIAL INEQUALITY, not only in the peri-urban environment (PUE) but also in the inner urban areas. It is within both a strategic and spatial, i.e., the place related socio-economic inequalities) frameworks of planning and management of the environment that it has been possible to respond to the varying needs of different social areas.Tehran's urban region, similar to many metropolitan regions of, mainly the less developed countries of the world, suffer from problems such as social, economic and spatial inequalities, unbalanced settlement system, unsuitable quality of life (QOL), degradation of the natural environment, weak and disintegrated planning mechanism and dominance of property developers' intentions and activities over the pre-determined decisions of the public sector. All these added by the ignorance of the relevant authorities and the existing planning documents have helped the formation and escalation of income inequalities related problems. Tehran, as a METROPOLIS is faced with two sets of trends; one is the dislocation of population from the inner areas and the other is the migration of population from either the other Settlements of the country or the rural areas within Tehran's urban region. Due to the disparity of the socio-economic situation of the migrants and the high costs of living within Tehran, these migrants are driven away to Tehran's PUE. In fact the continuation of inequalities (socio-economic and spatial), and of the damages to the nature and agricultural activities in the PUE of Tehran, reveals the inefficiency of the existing methods, and the necessity of devising and pursuing different but applicable methods in the planning and management of not only Tehran's PUE but also the totality of its urban region. It is within this framework that this paper intends to ill-trate the unequal picture, to consider briefly the factors behind the formation of such a structure and the consequences of the continuation of the existing trends.Thus is that the spatial inequalities of the different areas of the PUE of Tehran/its URBAN-REGION within the framework of the concepts which has been introduced worldwide under the headings of peri-urban interface (PUI), urban-rural interface (URI) and also under the basic rules of the strategic environmental planning and management (SEPM) approach will be concisely studied and analysed. An important concluding remark of this paper is that the continuation of the existing trends will definitely compound the historically unresolved problems of Tehran, its PUE and its urban region and will reduce the opportunities of applying any solution to resolve or reduce the intensity of the problems deep rooted in the unequal socio-economic structure.
