Assessment of Ecological City Development in Urban Settlements of East Azarbaijan Province with an Emphasis on the Theoretical Model of Sustainable Development

With the rapid increase in urban population in the world and increasing concern about the environment, the challenge of creating a livable sustainable city was a priority for city planners; the idea of the Ecology is in response to these concerns. Ecology town or city ecological idea can be the last or continue to develop sustainable approaches to urban development within the framework of theoretical model. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development Ecology in Eastern Azerbaijan province within the framework of theoretical model of sustainable development. This study is a kind of descriptive and analytical one regarding the purpose of the application and to methods. The population includes 20 city of East Azerbaijan province which was based on the 2012 census. Three main components of ecological security, health, ecological environment and ecological industrial metabolism, are used to assess which were in the form of 24 indicators. ANP model is used to express the relative importance of each indicator. PROMETHEE V model is used to analyze the data. The results of network analysis (ANP) indicate that the indices covered, Indices X21(quantity of wheat in irrigated and rainfed) and X11(buried utility principle Percent) respectively, with points (0.059 and 0.056) canvas utmost importance in the development of the city. The results showed that The province of East Azerbaijan regarding the indicators of urban ecology, Miyaneh city, Sarab and Tabriz, Phi (0.369) Phi (0/338) and Phi (0.258) ranked first, second and third. Besides, KhodaAfarin with Phi (-0.448) is the poorest city in the province. It also suggests that the spatial distribution of cities in Gaia in Miyaneh city, Sarab and Tabriz are the closest towns to the net flow of optimum stability. Hashtrood, MALEKAN, Harris, Kaleibar, Ajabshir, ESCO, Charavimaq, Varzqan, Julfa and Azarshahr and in particular the Khoda Afarin are the farthest cities of the net outflow, having inappropriate stability required to be prioritized in future planning.
Extended Abstract
1-Introduction
In recent decades, the high growth of the urban population has increased the demand for resources. Therefore, there is more pressure on the environment. So that the long-term future cities are endangered due to unrecoverable costs of the environment. Given the crucial role of cities in achieving sustainable development, determining the future of human life on Earth, accepting the fact that in the current is unstable and cannot be a long-term one, ideas and approaches to create sustainable cities as a green, healthy, smart, and sustainable cities have been raised. In this regard, boom, town or city ecological idea can be the last or continue approaches of theoretical model developed in the context of sustainable urban development. Boom City is a city or part thereof between social, economic and environmental balance which is suggested to achieve sustainable development. Moreover, it is designed with environmental considerations of East Azerbaijan province, despite the great potential to become a boom town. In recent decades, urban population growth and development in urban settlements has made dramatic consequences on the environment. In order to deal with such problems, depending on the capabilities and limitations of urban canvas by doing the assessment process parameters is considered as a solution to deal with emerging environmental crises. Besides, it is a efficient way to achieve the objectives of sustainable development. Therefore, this study is trying to follow the evaluation of the development boom in Eastern Azerbaijan province within the framework of the theoretical model of sustainable development using PROMETHEE V.
2- Materials and Methods
This study is a kind of descriptive and analytical one regarding the purpose of the application and to methods.  To evaluate the urban canoe indices, three components of ecological safety, ecological health and Ecological Ecology have been used in the form of 24 positive (MAX) and negative (MIN) indexes. (ANP) is used to express the relative importance of each indicator of network analysis. V PROMETHEE and software Visual PROMETHEE are used to analyze the parameters of the model. Finally, the results from the model of tree network Prometheus Cities, the cities are classified into five floors quite stable, stable, semi-stable, unstable and quite unstable.
3- Results and Discussion
Ranking East Azerbaijan province in terms of urban ecological indicators shows Miyaneh, Sarab and Tabriz, respectively, with net Phi 0.369, 0.338 and 0.258 which is quite stable. Marand and Bostan, respectively, with net Phi 0.181 and 0.151 are in stable condition. Maragheh, Shabestar, Ahar and Bonab, respectively, with net Phi 0.091, 0.073, 0.061 and 0.048 metastable state and the cities of Hashtrood, Malakan, Harris, Kalebar, Ajabshir, ESCO, Charavimaq, Varzqan, Julfa and Azarshahr respectively, with net Phi -0.045, -0.055, -0.062, -0.078, -0.114, -0.129, -0.140, -0.161 and -0.179 in terms of indicators of urban ecological situation are unstable. Khoda Afarin city in last place with -0.448 pure Phi is the poorest city in terms of indicators of Bushehr province.
4-Conclusions
The results of East Azerbaijan Province ranking shows a gap in levels of urban ecological indicators among the cities. So that the distinction between stable city, Miyaneh with Phi + (0.369) with volatile city, Khoda Afarin with Phi - (- 0.448) suggests the inequality and a wide gap between the province; the city is benefiting from the boom indices. Therefore it is recommended that each city officials try a lot to reduce the deprivation load on the regions. moreover, they are supposed to stop wasting vital resources due to improper land use and horizontal development of the agricultural land around cities .
