One of the main necessities of the national sustainable development process is attention to regional characteristics by utilizing a collection of economical, social, and environmental indicators in order to optimally designate resources for various regions along with identifying these differences. This research intends to analyze the level of development in provinces of Iran. First, 13 economical, social and environmental indicators have been identified and related data has been gathered for 28 provinces in Iran. In order to provide a composite indicator the method of factor analysis has been utilized and composite indicators for the provinces have been calculated and categorized. According to this categorization Kohkiluye and Buyerahmad , Tehran and Semnan provinces have been ranked first to third, while Kordestan , Sistan and Baluchestan and Hamedan provinces are ranked among the last.Today, the redaction of inequality resources and facilities is one of the most important criteria for sustainable development and social challenge in our country.

In all official censuses, East Azerbaijan Province has the most migrants and executive managers are faced with serious challenges. This paper has analyzed migration behavior in inside and outside of East Azerbaijan province in recent three decades. Research method is descriptive and analytical and the statistic society is East Azerbaijan province. The results show that there is a populous link between East Azerbaijan province with neighbor provinces and Tehran. The majority of whom arrive to the province are from Tehran, West Azerbaijan, Kurdistan and Khuzestan provinces that include more than 70% of migrants and the main sources for immigrants from the province are Tehran, West Azerbaijan, Qom, Ardebil and Khuzestan provinces that include more than 80%. Also the main sources of who migrate inside the province are Tabriz, Maragheh, Ahar and Marand cities that include more than 50% of total immigrants and the major destination for migrants are Tabriz, Maragheh, Marand and Bonab cities that include more than 66% of them. Result's analyses show that there is not a systematic population replacement and that population exchanging occurs with cities that have more facilities and offer better services.Migration and its consequences have been discussed as one of the major social issues in recent years in Iran.

In this paper physical and spatial development of Varzaneh city is studied and, after recognition of its potentials and restricts with using Boolean model and overlaying in GIS and also calculation of requisite space for the added future population optimum strategies for future development is suggested. The method of the research is descriptive-analytic and method of data gathering is documental-library. In order for completion of data and monitoring urban development of Varzaneh, we have accomplished field study and group interview with Varzaneh people. The results of the research indicated that initially urban development of Varzaneh has been was self-growing and have happened around the center of the city, but because of existing agric cultural lands. It was impossible to develop the core and the new city along with the old city has been developed (they separate from each other by the river). In new developing plans direction of development is to the north. The results also signified that not only it’s not necessary to expand the city for future development even when population are threefold rather than now but also altitudinal development of city is possible due to the free lands, urban sprawl and one- floor buildings.Perception of urban development process in urban planning and management of sustainable urban development is important.

Population and industries and overconcentration (especially metropolitans and big cities) and low quality of life on one hand and the limitations of horizontal growth on the other hand, put the strategy of building new towns as the agenda of the governments aiming to absorb population overflow and removing concentration from the metropolitans.
Building new towns in Iran has begun since 1980s as a basic solution in the country's system of urbanism. Now with more than two decades of new towns activity, assessment of their Performance seems necessary. For this goal Andishe new town with population of 75596, the most populated new town within other new towns around Tehran-the country's biggest metropolitan is studied. In this research the data of Statistical Centre of Iran interviews with the authorities of New Towns Construction Company, field studies and questionnaires were used. SPSS software was used for data analysis. The findings show that Andishe new town has been successful in absorbing population overflow, gaining the inhabitants satisfaction and providing jobs.Industrial Revolution and its outcomes caused fast growth of cities and urbanization.
