Abstract :
Land use planning and organized urban activities are the pivot of urban planning. Unders tanding
patterns of urban land and property ownership is important because it affects the nature and shape of urban
development, especially on the edge of cities with many social and economic features in one hand and some illegal
subdivision of lands occur in this place on the other hand that is very important in providing urban sus tainable plans.
For implementing the urban development plan; mus t acquire lands that it isn’t an easy work for municipalities. For
example the lands located along the southeas tern edge of Tehran, called "Niroo Daryaee", though 80% of them are
abandoned and have several social and environmental problems, which was decided to provide urban local plan for
it by considering spatial, visual, social and environmental features and using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
model. But the shape, form and sys tem of land ownership is serious and has a limitation in implementing different
types of plans. Thus municipality of Tehran tries changing res trictions to opportunities; it does not interfere in
the form of lands because it is much cos tlier so decides to involve landowners to build their land, attracting public
participation in successful implementation of the plan. Respecting citizens’ rights, doing in his obligations has
achieved satisfaction of residences as the final and real users of the plan
