Achieving a balanced distribution of population and activities over space is one of the critical goals of spatial planning profession. This paper reviews the status of this issue for the North Region of Iran including provinces of Mazandaran, Giulan and Golestan. The study applied two well-known methods including entropy and elasticity for measuring the extent of regional balance of population distribution throughout the study area. The results showed that the disorder of urban system has been increased dramatically along with fast population increase. Three capital cities of the region have experienced focal concentration whereas small cities have encountered with stagnation in population growth. Those cities with 50 thousand people and over have showed higher tendency to absorb further population. These trends have resulted in intensifying irregularity of urban system and emerging of new megacities.Keywords

Rapid urbanization in the recent decades led to emerging some important social problem in the cities. It is now widely accepted that urbanization is as much a social process as it is an economic and territorial process. It transforms societal organizations, the role of the family, demographic structures, the nature of work, and the way we choose to live and with whom. It also modifies domestic roles and relations within the family, and redefines concepts of individual and social responsibility.This article focuses on relationship between Socio-economic indexes and pattern of drug use as urban sociology approach among drug addicts in the city of Fasa of Fars province in Iran. The theoretical framework of this study is theories of Pierre Bourdieu-French sociologist about action and capital. This work was conducted in form of survey method with data being gathered via questionnaire. Case study is 190 drug addict people of city of Fasa which selected using cluster method randomly. The research results showed that there is a significant relationship between economic and social bases of drug addicts and type of their used drugs. Another finding of this study is the existence of significant relationship between sex, residence, age, occupation status and person's attitude toward self economic status and type of their used drugs. Also the results of this research indicated that there is no significant relationship between residence of people and their marital status and type their used drugs.Keywords

In different countries, new towns are constructed based on necessity and their functions. Nowadays, making new towns is not of course performed with the aim of realizing the notion of ideal habitation or Utopia, rather decentralization of large cities is its purpose and main goal. Nonetheless, this topic is differently viewed in Iran in comparison with other countries, and its utility and function in Iran is not the same as the real purpose of making new towns in the world. This article studies the country's population variations in recent decades and considers urban system of the country. It also analyzes the activities of new towns in recent years and eventually argues the necessity to make new towns in Iran. The agreement of this strategy with alternative ones, especially with the strategy of middle cities reinforcement, is argued as well.Keywords
