Urban physical development is one of the dimensions of urban development. Regarding the ever-increasing growth of population and increase of immigration to towns, researchers, authorities, managers and other urban bodies have noticed urban physical development more than before. The title of the present research is newly-established towns physical development management pattern with Kouhsar for case study. Until the result of the research can be effective for the urban planning in future.

The questionnaire used in this research included 20 five-item questions distributed among a sample of 80 persons out. The results of the research show that urban development pattern in Kouhsar are linear. The same pattern can be predicted in the late decade. If construction control is not managed well, it is predicted that a disturbed urban pattern will formed in Kouhsar. Also, it was found that there is no formal pattern for physical development of Kouhsar. Another finding was that comprehensive plan is a must for managing physical development of towns, especially newly-established ones. Therefore, there is a close interrelation between effective management of town physical development and comprehensive plan.
