Abstract

Introduction The rapid growth of urbanization and the expansion of industrial activities over the past few decades has reduced urban infrastructure and increased environmental waste (Ebrahimzadeh, 2009: 29). The growing urban community, driven by the extraordinary growth of population and migration, has led to unplanned and unSustainable urban development, creating many changes in their spatial development. (Bartonet, 2003: 18). At the same time, one of the factors influencing on the problems of urbanization and urbanism is the lack of attention to the spatial effects of economic policies in the countries; the lack of a logical connection between the distribution and allocation of investments with the factor of space and location on the one hand and Distribution of resources, on the other hand, involves unwanted spatial effects, including imbalances in the distribution of facilities and inequalities of income between regions and the tendency to focus on one or more limited points. Due to the importance of the role that middle cities can play, the need for research around it is felt more and more. In this research Iranshahr has been studied in Sistan and Baluchestan, the city has a heterogeneous development. In fact, due to its location among agricultural lands, its development has generally been associated with the degradation of agricultural lands, but due to rapid population development and the physical development of the city, the urgency of planned development is highly felt. So, the direction of physical development with regard to the factors influencing this development should be such that, along with the favorable physical development of the city, the least damage to the agricultural lands should be made and it can be achieved by preserving the environment for sustainable development of the city.; A development in which economic, social, and physical goals are linked. Methods and material In this research, using a cross sectional descriptive approach, sought to evaluate the country’ s condition in terms of the sustainability of human development. Then, the economic, social, environmental and physical (architectural) features of Iranshahr city in terms of Development indicators were evaluated and analyzed and were compared with the average urban system in Iran using the Wilcoxon test, the results of which were presented and explained in this study. Compared to the average urban system. Therefore, consistent with the applied and developmental nature of the study, for the optimal planning and moving towards Sustainable urban development in Iranshahr, the most significant and effective variables were selected, accordingly. Then, based on the existing conditions, each variable was assessed and weighed using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and then were analyzed by Wilcoxon Test and Expert Choice software. Results and Discussion The results of Wilcoxon test analysis and the use of the AHP model and Expert Choice software indicate that in total, According to the analytical results of the Wilcoxon test, "Iranshahr City does not have a better performance than the average urban system in terms of sustainable urban Development indicators. " Of the four factors examined, the physical factor with a score of 0. 468 is the most influential factor and in the first priority. As well as economic, socio-cultural and biological indicators, with the score of 0. 266, 0. 189 and0. 078, the priorities of the second, third and fourth ranking are in the indicators of Sustainable urban development. At the same time, among the indicators of physical, residential, health and educational per capita are the top priority for planning. And among the economic indicators, minimizing unemployment, facilitating investment and employment are the highest priority. Among the socio-cultural indicators, poverty reduction and social disparities, change in behavior and change in consumption patterns are most important. Finally, among the indicators of biology, providing safe drinking water and providing comprehensive transportation plans are most important in the planning and sustainability of the city of Iranshahr. Conclusion The city of Iranshahr has had Extensive physical development in recent decades. At the same time, lack of proper development in terms of urban sustainability is clearly visible. Therefore, in order to analyze the level of stability of the city of Iranshahr, this study firstly compares the indicators of sustainability of this city with the urban system of the country. The results of the comparative study show that in general, the stability of this city is not significantly different from the urban average of the country. The results of Wilcoxon test analysis and the use of AHP model and Expert Choice software indicate that in total According to the analytical results of the Wilcoxon test, "Iranshahr City does not have a better performance than the average urban system in terms of sustainable urban Development indicators. " Of the four factors examined the physical factor and most influential factor in the first priority. As well as economic, socio-cultural and biological indicators, the priorities of the second, third and fourth ranking are in the indicators of Sustainable urban development. At the same time, among the indicators of physical, residential, health and educational per capita are the top priority for planning. And among the economic indicators, minimizing unemployment, facilitating investment and employment are the highest priority. Among the socio-cultural indicators, poverty reduction and social disparities, change in behavior and change in consumption patterns are most important. Finally, among the indicators of biology, providing safe drinking water and providing a comprehensive transportation plan are most important in the planning and sustainability of the city of Iranshahr. In general, and given the priorities, the natural, climatic, economic, and social characteristics of the city of Iranshahr and the existing challenges, planning in the field of physical, socio-cultural and economic is very necessary.
