Abstract

As a dynamic phenomenon, towns are experiencing physical, economic, social and cultural changes over time. These changes necessitate an integrated and flexible planning which is defined as a participatory and creative process to improve the performance and ensure the future condition of the town. The present study aims at both investigating the current condition of Rine and preparing town development strategies in future plans. This study is considered as a descriptive-analytic one with practical implications. The data were collected from the documents in the library through surveying. SOWT model is used to recognize the current condition. Preparing the development strategies, the indices of ACEPT and VIKOR models were applied to prioritize the future development strategies of city. Moreover, the space position figure is drawn to investigate the importance of the strategies. The findings show that, according to high potentials of Rine, a proper planning in terms of environmental protection and investment in tourism and farming could lead to an increase in the town’s income per capita. In addition, a sudden and unplanned development of the city can be managed by observing the rules and regulations of construction in town space
