Sweden and Iran have prepared their urban planning decision-making system around 1970. After about fifty years, the results in both countries are too different. The Swedish system is developed and responsible, on the other hand, the system of Iran has faced some problems. This article will compare and investigate the structure of both systems with a special focus on imperfects in the system of Iran. About 65 percent of 85,000,000 people are living in 1300 cities of Iran. This imperfect decision-making system has some huge negative effects. Studying on this case is important for the economy and urban planning structure. In the end, the article will have some suggestions for enhancing the Iranian System.

By entering and then increasing the number of cars, it was discovered in the 1300s that the organic urban texture did not have the ability to accept the presence of cars as a public and private vehicle. Hence, since then, the widening of roads was on the agenda of the government and the municipalities of the time, as a major developmental measure. This << Widening and demolition developmental activity >> has not been completed and it dedicates a significant portion of the development budget at the national and municipal levels annually. Several rules have been adopted and ratified in this area, and several executive practices have been gained and spread in recent decades as experiences. However, the widening of urban roads in Iran is considered costly, erosive, tedious, and even unnecessary! The process of widening the roads is influenced by several indicators and factors: the type of land a...

Because families and residents living in a residential area need urgently and continuously access to and use of a variety of service land uses, including green spaces, educational, health care, and so on. These uses are often not profitable, and the private sector is not particularly interested in buying and investing for them. How to provide services is one of the main problems in the planning and implementation of urban and rural development plans in Iran. In Iran, there are two state organization to assign lands (Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Roads and Urban Planning). These ministries hold ‹‹ Natural Resource Land ›› and ‹‹ Urban Lands ››, but do not have the necessary efforts or have the land available to provide adequate service land uses. Urban land ownership in Iran is 95% private, and inevitably the required service land is purchased by the custodian ministry and the cost of constructing the facilities, and ultimately resulting in the creation of a service land uses. Lack of financial resources, neglect of the problem, ambiguity in the laws, urban and rural management problems are among the most problematic factors and the lack of satisfactory maintenance of service land uses and per capita. In the period prior to the victory of the Islamic Revolution (February 22, 1978), very few cities and villages in Iran enjoyed urban development plans. The provision of service land uses was carried out by the ministry and the Provincial Trustee as part of the site. The Pahlavi state -especially in the last decade before the collapse -was financially capable, but did not have the necessary resources to supply infrastructure (drinking water, sewage, electricity, gas and telephone) and other services such as hospitals and educational centers in the villages. Although there was a shortage in cities, but the situation in the cities especially in the provincial capital were better than villages. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the development of urban, rural and agricultural development was one of the priorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran. A government organization -called the "Constructive Jihad" was established and one of its duties was rural civilization. A bit later, the 8-year war between Iran and Iraq was started. The war was a slowdown for building construction. Lack of financial resources has been added to previous problems and nowadays both urban and rural communities are struggling. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, several laws have been passed so far to accelerate and facilitate the ownership of land services and the creation of per capita. But these rules are often inadequate, parallel, or ambiguous.

Dividing tourism into different types can be done through better recognizing, planning and managing the tourism in different local, urban, and regional levels. Political borders, geography-economic characteristics, and tourists' motivation for tourism are considered as the basic indicators of dividing tourism into different types. Meanwhile, tourists' motivation for dealing with tourism activities is very important. Doing tourism activities by tourists is linked to special motivations. Study of different nations' history reveals that the men is always desiring and expecting Utopia and imagine an ideal society and future. A short look at some samples in the world shows that these imagines stem from something more than religion beliefs. From the past centuries, Believers of Utopia expect a person called "Savior" who guides communities to Utopia, hold special ceremonies, and do something. For example, millions ...
