Spatial Modeling of Factors Affecting Building Density: A Case Study of Hamedan City
Abstract
The process of growth and development of Iranian cities indicates that the unbalanced and uncoordinated growth of the city with the lack of planning and inappropriate design has led to the creation of a heterogeneous structure in the cities. Therefore, from the point of view of urban planning, the category of density is one of the most essential tools for controlling and developing the city. The results show that construction in Hamadan does not have a balanced distribution and a regular pattern. This unbalanced process has caused the population and activity to be concentrated in some specific areas, which has left its negative effects and created conditions where only a few areas and neighborhoods are on the path of development and the rest of the areas remain in stagnation and inactivity. The ever-increasing demand for housing, the high profitability of construction in privileged neighborhoods, and the municipality’s income dependence on construction have caused the formation and continuation of a vicious cycle, the result of which is the increase of spatial inequality and injustice in the city of Hamadan.References- Antoniucci, V., & Marella, G.
