Communication between human and natural environment, economic and social condition is the most important relationship in rural architecture.

Informal settlements were formed as the shadow cities after the industrial revolution and the geographical redistribution of population in Europe. Informal settlements were slowly appeared after industrialization and modernization process as a main characteristic of almost many cities of developing countries. However, this phenomenon acted as an attenuating phenomenon in European countries and over the time and in the context of the location they were solved in the heart of the cities. Therefore, this phenomenon is now confined to the cities of the developing countries. Even the cities in developing countries like our country are also feature this phenomenon. Khoy middle city is not an exception of this rule. This research is classified as an explanatory analytical survey. Like most survey researches, this study focuses on a limited sample and the sampling method is the probable classification technique. In other words, all informal settlements in Khoy city are classified into four geographical categories amongst which four districts were randomly selected. The main purpose of this research was identifying the relationship between development and the increase of residents’ numbers in informal settlements and for this the hypothesis of study was that there was a significant relationship between urban and rural development and the increase of residents’ numbers in informal settlements in Khoy. The results indicated that in contrast to the expectations of many researches in this area, the number of residents in informal settlements would increase with increasing level of urban and rural development.

Land is a key factor for all human activities such as providing housing, services and urban infrastructure. Efficient and optimal use of land resources is among very important responsibilities of urban planning and managers. This issue most of time is being neglected or little attention is paid to it especially in less developed countries. While in some areas considerable parcels of land for legal, economic or because of environmental reasons are left unused, intensive constructions are carried out in other parts. Attempts are made in this article to highlight the importance and of resumption of unused or misused urban lands and brought toward appropriate suggestions to improve the difficulties and problems of land availability.

In different countries, new towns are constructed based on necessity and their functions. Nowadays, making new towns is not of course performed with the aim of realizing the notion of ideal habitation or Utopia, rather decentralization of large cities is its purpose and main goal. Nonetheless, this topic is differently viewed in Iran in comparison with other countries, and its utility and function in Iran is not the same as the real purpose of making new towns in the world. This article studies the country’s population variations in recent decades and considers urban system of the country. It also analyzes the activities of new towns in recent years and eventually argues the necessity to make new towns in Iran. The agreement of this strategy with alternative ones, especially with the strategy of middle cities reinforcement, is argued as well.
