Social Justice and Development The Application of Philosophy and Idiology in Regional Planning

Lranʹs spatial and regional planning is based on capitalistic principles. This has led to an unequal spatial organization and subsequently to class conflicts. While the constitutions of Islamic Republic of Iran stresses on social justice and a well balanced regional planning, the present article makes attempts to draw geographerʹs attention to the issue of using political thoughts and ideology in spatial planning and land reclamation. It further tries to show that geography without philosophy will go astray and geographers with. no philosophical thinking are no more than workmen of knowledge. The author also presents examples of spatial organization with regard to agricultural, rural, urban issues on the bases of capitalistic views in the Iranian states after 1952. The article wants Iranian geographers to analyse and criticize spatial and land reclamational plans in order to find the most desirable strategies for the implementation of social justice and balanced regional planning in the country.
