Abstract :

Management and Planning of Metropolitan suburb face complexity due to the vastness of space and the plurality of influential variables. Solving problems and conflicts at such a level of complexity requires a coherent, purposeful and flexible structure of integrated management to be well supported by the large-scale legislative system of the state and has enough legal authority to regulate relations, control and guidance of the program at the macro-urban area, in order to minimize fragmentations at different levels (Political, Spatial, Functional, and Social). Looking at the part in the absence of strategic documents and cohesive legal contexts which led to types of fragmentations converted to the serious problem and a huge obstacle in the way of the integrated fulfillment management of the capital suburb and the Fulfillment of the protection strategy and sustainable development is conditional on the resolution of fragmentations and the establishment of integrated management. So, the aim of this study was to identify and determine the fragmentations of integrated management at different levels and aspects of capital suburb. This study was applied and descriptive survey in terms of objective and also nature and methodology, respectively. Based on Cochran formula, 201 respondents were selected as population and to identify aspects of integrated management, questionnaires were used that 25 variables in five components of institutional, legal, policy, social and physical fragmentation were studied. Results indicated that there was a significant relationship between the variables under study at the percentage confidence level 95. As well as the direct impact of legal fragmentation component on framework was equal to 0.593, which showed that per unit change in legal fragmentation, the physical fragmentation will be changed to 0.593 units.
