    Master's Thesis in Geography and Urban Planning

    Abstract

    The discussion of locating residential complexes is currently one of the most important and influential issues in the discussion of urban land use, and since today's urban centers have very complex construction equipment and buildings have taken on large dimensions and cities have expanded significantly, the importance of urban geomorphology is revealed when the damage is large and beyond human tolerance. Therefore, before creating reliable and resistant buildings, careful studies and research should be done in selecting the location of cities and choosing the right place for the development of buildings. Some geomorphological phenomena are not only considered destructive and inhibiting factors in the establishment and development of cities, but if urban planners have full knowledge of the type and all-round application of these geomorphological phenomena, they will turn them into a positive factor in the establishment and development of cities, in addition to city infrastructure planning. It was not and is not far from the effects of topographical conditions, because the topography of the place and the orientation of the unevenness in issues such as urban construction or in the displacement of the urban population have an undeniable role in this research or the use of an analytical and field method using the average comparison test between two samples (T-Test). that the lack of attention to geomorphic indicators by the custodian organizations during the issuance of permits due to a significant difference from the standard index has not been successful in the process of locating residential complexes.

    Key words: Shahrood city, location, residential complexes, geomorphic

    Today, in order to achieve sustainable urban development, one of the important issues that should always be considered is the discussion of foresight in urban development and urban construction and how to pay attention to sensitive and hazardous areas is one of the requirements related to the discussion of sustainable urban development in third world countries such as Iran, indiscriminate rural migrations and the unbridled growth of this complex in the middle cities has caused the construction process to take a very large growth and the urban construction regulations have been made without considering the tectonic factors, and at the same time, the concrete issues of residential development in places with high risk in the discussion of tectonic conditions will be implemented and exploited if these tectonic factors are considered as risk limits and in In the not too distant future, it will cause irreparable damage to the structure of cities, including intermediate cities. Accordingly, the requirements related to construction in the general process should be presented in a risk zoning map with an emphasis on geomorphic factors, and during construction, building permits should be issued according to this map. Therefore, care should be taken in the planning and construction of residential complexes. There is a lot to discuss about location, therefore, all items should be presented in location in order to portray a good perspective and play an important role in the sustainable development of construction and ultimately sustainable urban development. Determining the right place to live for the decision-makers of the urban basin is considered one of the important issues in the macro-planning and future strategies of cities (Zarei, 2013), since today the urban centers have very complex construction equipment and the buildings have taken on large dimensions and the cities have expanded significantly, and many industrial facilities and factories have been developed on the outskirts of most cities as a necessary phenomenon. Therefore, the smallest mistake in the current situation may cause irreparable damages (Zamardian, 2013, 6). The importance of urban geomorphology is revealed when the damages are large and beyond human tolerance. In the past, if the flood destroyed a simple house, it destroyed very simple and simple furniture, but today, in terms of the extent of cities and the complexity of modern life and the development of urban facilities.. It causes irreparable damages, therefore, before creating safe and resistant buildings, careful studies and research should be done in the location of cities and choosing the right place for the development of buildings. studies of seismicity, subsidences and collapses, the relationship and mutual influence of these phenomena should be investigated (Rajaei, 2013, 276). Of course, it should be noted that some geomorphological phenomena are not only considered as destructive and inhibiting factors in the establishment and development of cities, but if urban planners have full knowledge of the type and all-round application of these geomorphological phenomena, they will be considered as a positive factor in the establishment and development of cities. Cities will transform and make optimal and reasonable use of them. In general, the geomorphic and topographic features of a geographical location are not only effective in the dispersion or accumulation of human activities, but also are considered to be one of the effective factors in the physical appearance of spatial constructions. In addition, the infrastructure planning of the city was not and is not far from the effects of topographic conditions, because the topography of the place and the orientation of the unevenness in issues such as urban construction or in the displacement of the urban population have an undeniable role (Zamardian, 2013, 7) After the Second World War, many studies were conducted in most subjects of natural geography, including the branch of geomorphology and its role in the location and development of cities and other human settlements, and new methods and attitudes An advancement was applied that raised the efficiency of this science even more and put it in the ranks of academic and applied sciences. Currently, England has made great progress in terms of the application of geomorphology in many fields, including the application of geomorphology in urban development plans, and the prestige of this branch of geography has increased day by day (Rajai, 2012, 23) despite the importance of geomorphological studies in urban development planning, surveys show that the program Urban planners in Iran have addressed this issue less or have passed over this topic in a stereotyped way in the form of geological studies, but in recent years, following the activity of geomorphological processes in the limits of human settlements, which have been carried out in order to prevent damage caused by these processes, it promises that more attention will be paid to geomorphological studies in urban development plans (Najafi, 2018, 4) Shahrood city is one of the desert cities of Iran. is that geomorphological phenomena have sometimes faced many problems in urban development, and ignoring geomorphological factors in the urban area has caused many problems in the discussion of investment and incorrect location of residential complexes, and in the process of this research, we will try to identify important geomorphological factors in locating optimal areas for the construction of residential complexes. 1-2-Importance and Necessity Research

    If we accept the term geomorphology as the basis of urban studies from Professor Ramsht, the professor of geomorphology in Iran, the importance and necessity of conducting such research will become more apparent to us. Accordingly, in this type of studies, we will try to pay a lot of attention to the necessity of this science, so that not paying attention to geomorphological studies at every stage of urban development and construction will bring a lot of blows and financial losses. residential complexes of Shahrood city, geomorphic phenomena have been identified first and its role in locating and using different and conventional methods in geomorphology planning literature.
