Analyzing the Skeleton-spatial Development in Yazd and Measuring Its Conformity with the Smart Growth Pattern

Abstract

This article aims at and analyzing the skeleton –spatial pattern in Yazd and measuring its conformity with the smart urban growth pattern. This research is the applied type and its method is descriptive and analytic. Data gathering method has been of two methods, library and field study. To measure the skeleton farm and recognize the skeleton development pattern of the city, Garry coefficient, Mara, coefficient, Shannon Entropy model and intender model have been used. To measure the conformity of Yazd Skeleton growth pattern by using Constant development indicators ,experts were asked to do same surveys and questionnaires results of questionnaire are analyzed by using spss software .results of the research and calculating Moran and Gary coefficient , indicates that according to the degree of gathering and dispersion of population and activity ,Yazd follows a random to sprawl pattern .Copulating Shannon Entropy also confirms the urban sprawl growth in Yazd . According to the results of Heldern model 60 percent of Yazd growth during 1981 to 2011 , is related to population growth and 40 percent is based on city’s spiral and horizontal growth that has led to the reduction in population compression and increase in shared urban land at last expansion in Yazd horizontal spiral form .Measure the growth pattern conformity and development of Yazd with the indicators of smart urban growth pattern indicates its lock of conformity ,The final result would be that during the past few decades ,growth and development pattern in Yazd been desirable and is not conforming to Smart Urban development.
